Registration Information/Credit Card Charges/Storage Over Limits |
| |
You will promptly notify
Pro Softnet 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." Pro Softnet's
policy regarding the privacy and use of the Registration
Information is set forth in Pro Softnet's privacy policy,
as the same may be modified and amended by Pro Softnet
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 to your credit card in exchange for
use of the IBackup 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. 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.
IBackup 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.
IBackup 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 $2/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. If the account is cancelled for any reason, user data and its backups are promptly removed.

Use of IP Addresses |
| |

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 IBackup, such as registration related,

Automatic conversion of Trial to Paid Accounts |
| |
IBackup may offer trial accounts
that require users to provide credit card information
which may be used to convert the trial to a paid account
at the end of free trial period. If the card transaction
fails at the end of free trial period, an email would
be sent to the user requesting the user to upgrade the
account manually online. In addition, status of the account (Free Trial or Paid), Number of free trial days remaining and Option to Opt for the paid account are prominently displayed on the browser application once user logs in. If the user fails
to upgrade to a paid account before end of free trial,
account may be terminated.

Security of Stored Data and Files |
| |
Pro Softnet 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 IBackup Professional service that enforces default encryption on storage.

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 Pro Softnet has suspicion that
an account is being used for storage and distribution
of any illegal material such as copyrighted content,
Pro Softnet reserves the right to examine the content
of the online storage and backup account. In addition, Pro Softnet may be asked to provide user data and logs as a part of a legal issue in a third party case by a court order or a subpoena, discovery request or other lawful process that may override privacy rules. Pro Softnet
reserves the right to refuse, remove or disable access
to any data or files stored on Pro Softnet's servers

may be reasonably objectionable.

IBackup may also keep a copy of data at a geographically distanced data center from the primary location for additional protection. However, we advice you to audit your logs periodically to ensure that the backups are taking place successfully and in case of errors, take corrective action. Also, do upgrade the backup client to the most recent version for improved reliability of backups.
