Storage Over Limits
You will promptly notify SmartData of any change in the information
You provide on Your registration form during Your registration for the
Service (including, without limitation, any change in Your mailing address,
telephone numbers or email address). The registration information provided
by You on Your registration form during Your registration for the Service,
together with any and all updates provided by You from time to time under
this paragraph, is referred to in this Agreement as the "Registration
Information." SmartData and Pro Softnet's policy regarding the privacy
and use of the Registration Information is set forth in our privacy policy,
as the same may be modified and amended by SmartData from time to time
(the "Privacy Policy"). When You accept this Agreement, You acknowledge
that You agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy. You authorize a recurring
monthly or annual charge in exchange for use of the WebBackup service
as indicated by published standard plans or a customized quote provided
for your specific use. You also agree that the enrollment for the next
service period is automatic. Please note that refunds on a pro-rated
basis are issued only for monthly plans. When yearly subscriptions are
cancelled before the subscriptions end, refunds are issued based on a
pro-rated calculation of the subscription charges at the monthly rate
for the plan, for the actual number of days the account was subscribed(the
number of days between the most recent yearly charges and the cancellation
date). If the calculated refund amount exceeds the yearly subscription
rate, then no refund is issued. WebBackup will not issue any pro-rated
refunds for the remaining period during the month when an account with
a monthly subscription plan ("current plan") is downgraded to a smaller
plan ("new plan") (a plan that costs less per month than the current
plan) during the middle of a month. However the rate applicable to the
new plan will automatically be charged starting the first of the subsequent
month. WebBackup may allow for use of storage space beyond the specified
plan limit chosen by the user. This is designed to allow for uninterrupted
backups, in case the usage exceeds the quota limits. overuse charge may
be applied for the overused storage at the rate of $3/GB/Month. This
rate may change without notice. If we are unable to execute overuse charges
due to credit card denial or for whatever reasons, user will be notified
via email. In case of non-action by the user, the account may be cancelled. ![]()
An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer
whenever you're surfing the Web. IBackup may collect IP addresses for
the purposes of system administration, to audit the use of our site.
We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is
necessary to enforce compliance with our house rules or terms of service
or to protect our service, site, customers, or others. Some services
and Emails sent from WebBackup and IBackup, such as registration related,
may display IP addresses along with the message. ![]()
After You accept this Agreement and Your registration has been accepted
by SmartData, You will receive a link by email, on activation of which
Your Account will be established. You are solely responsible for any
consequences arising out of Your failure to maintain the confidentiality
of Your Password. You will notify SmartData of any unauthorized use or
other breach in security of Your Account immediately after You learn
of the same. ![]()
5. Security of Stored Data and Files
SmartData will endeavor to restrict access to the data and files You
store or retrieve from Your Account to persons accessing such data and
files through use of Your Account or Password. However, it may be necessary
to access users accounts for support requirements. It may also be necessary
to access users accounts to verify that the accounts are not being misused,
especially with respect to digital copyright laws and resource misuse
checks including bandwidth. For higher security and privacy requirements,
users are advised to use SmartData's encryption on storage.
6. Content of Stored Data and Files
You are solely responsible for (a) obtaining sufficient rights to the
content of all data and files stored by You on Pro Softnet's servers
and (b) ensuring that such content does not include any of the items
listed in paragraph 2(b) above. SmartData or Pro Softnet normally does
not review, inspect, edit or monitor any content, data or files stored
by You or any other user of the Service, including, without limitation,
for viruses, worms, "Trojan horses" or any other similar contaminating
or destructive features. However, if SmartData or Pro Softnet has suspicion
that an account is being used for storage and distribution of any illegal
material such as copyrighted content, SmartData reserves the right to
examine the content of the online storage and backup account. SmartData
reserves the right to refuse, remove or disable access to any data or
files stored on Pro Softnet's servers with immediate effect that Pro
Softnet learns may be illegal, may violate the terms of paragraph 2 above,
may violate the rights of any third party or otherwise may be reasonably
objectionable.
IBackup maintains regular backups of data to recover from any software/hardware
failures. Multiple snapshots of your data at different times is maintained
online. IBackup may also maintain a copy of data at a geographically
distanced data center from the primary location for additional protection.
However, the most important step for a reliable backup is at the user
end; user is expected to view and verify the logs periodically to insure
that the backups do take place successfully, and take necessary corrective
action if there are errors. User is also expected to periodically upgrade
the backup client to the most recent version for improved reliability
of backups. ![]()
The transmission, storage, viewing and retrieval of data and files through
the World Wide Web is subject to a variety of conditions that make such
transmission, storage, viewing and retrieval potentially unreliable.
