Eligibility and Registration: This section describes the eligibility criteria we require from all of our users. When you register to use our Services, we need to make sure that you are able to legally contract with ZipCloud, for example, you are old enough and not in a country, or a person, subject to sanctions which ZipCloud is prohibited from contracting with.

Changes to the Terms and Services

Unless the change is required immediately for legal or security reasons, we will provide you with prior notice of the change and, if the change adversely impacts you, you will have a right to terminate the Services following the change.

Your License and Your Use of the Services

In exchange for the various rights ZipCloud grants you under this Agreement, there are certain things we require from you and certain obligations and restrictions we need you to comply with. Most importantly, you need to purchase a service plan for each device you want to back-up using our service and, if you reach the storage limit for your plan, either upgrade your plan or purchase additional storage before you will be able to backup additional data.

We also need to prohibit certain activities which could affect our other users or which are unlawful. You are required to use the Services in accordance with our Acceptable Use Policy .

Support

We provide technical support by email and chat. You can purchase priority support to ensure our response is prioritised.

Term and Automatic Renewal

Our service plans are all for a fixed period of time (e.g. 1 month, 6 months, 12 months or 24 months) unless otherwise expressly provided. To ensure your computer and important files remain backed up, these terms will automatically renew 15 days before the end of your current service plan. This section explains this process in more detail to ensure that your files are backed up by ZipCloud for as long as you want them to be!

Pricing, Billing and Payment

ZipCloud offers a great range of service plans providing Services to suit everyone’s needs and at prices to suit everyone’s pockets. The service charges you pay are based on the service plan you choose, the number of devices you wish to back-up and any additional services you order. All payments are taken, in advance, for the full term of your service plan (e.g., monthly, 6, 12 or 24 months).

Cancellation and Termination

Even though we do not want you to, we know that one day you might want to leave ZipCloud. You can cancel your account at any time by following the process described here and receive a pro-rata refund of fees paid for your remaining service term. After your first 30 days, we are unable to refund fees for additional services where you terminate without cause. If your use of the Services is in breach of key terms of this Agreement or would be detrimental to our servers or networks, ZipCloud may terminate your use of the Services without refund.

Use and Deletion of Your Backup Data

This section of the Agreement describes how we store the data you voluntarily choose to back-up with us, and the process for deleting your data. Unless we are required by law to retain your data for a longer period, we delete your backup data, or place it in the queue for deletion, within approximately (i) twenty-four (24) hours of you deleting your data through your use of the Services; (ii) in those limited circumstances where ZipCloud may have to terminate your account, twenty-four (24) hours of such termination; and (iii) thirty (30) days of you choosing not to renew, or not paying for renewal of, your Services. Free accounts will be queued for deletion if they have been inactive for more than one (1) year. Once your data has been queued for deletion, it cannot be retrieved by ZipCloud.

If a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement is brought for arbitration, it shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration conducted before a single arbitrator, chosen by ZipCloud, pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules of the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and shall be administered by the AAA. The arbitration before the AAA shall proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this arbitration clause, but the arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. The arbitration will be held at the AAA location chosen by ZipCloud in Massachusetts. In the event you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, ZipCloud will pay as much of your filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is improper or not warranted, as measured by the standards set forth in the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), then the payment of arbitration costs shall be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse ZipCloud for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator grants relief to you that is equal to or greater than the value of your demand, ZipCloud shall reimburse you for your reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred for the arbitration.
