Syncbox Terms of Service Last Modified: Feb. 22, 2012 Thank you for using Syncbox! These terms of service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of Syncbox ("we" or "our") file synchronization/backup software pack, websites and services provided by Guangzhou SoftC Technology Ltd. and authorized parties (the "Services"), so please carefully read them before using the Services. By using the Services you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and promising that you have the authority to bind that organization to these terms. In that case, "you" and "your" will refer to that organization. You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms. You may use the Services only if you have the power to form a contract with Syncbox and are not barred under any applicable laws from doing so. The Services may continue to change over time as we refine and add more features. We may stop, suspend, or modify the Services at any time without prior notice to you. We may also remove any content from our Services at our discretion. Your Stuff & Your Privacy By using our Services you may provide us with information, files, and folders that you submit to Syncbox (together, "your stuff"). You retain full ownership to your stuff. We don’t claim any ownership to any of it. These Terms do not grant us any rights to your stuff or intellectual property except for the limited rights that are needed to run the Services, as explained below. We may need your permission to do things you ask us to do with your stuff, for example, hosting your files, or sharing them at your direction. This includes product features visible to you, for example, image thumbnails or document previews. It also includes design choices we make to technically administer our Services, for example, how we redundantly backup data to keep it safe. You give us the permissions we need to do those things solely to provide the Services. This permission also extends to trusted third parties we work with to provide the Services. You are solely responsible for your conduct, the content of your files and folders, and your communications with others while using the Services. For example, it’s your responsibility to ensure that you have the rights or permission needed to comply with these Terms. We may choose to review public content for compliance with legal guidelines, but you acknowledge that Syncbox has no obligation to monitor any information on the Services. We are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, appropriateness, or legality of files, user posts, or any other information you may be able to access using the Services. Sharing Your Stuff The Services provide features that allow you to share your stuff with others or to make it public. There are many things that users may do with that stuff (for example, copy it, modify it, re-share it). Please consider carefully what you choose to share or make public. Syncbox has no responsibility for that activity. Your Responsibilities Files and other content in the Services may be protected by intellectual property rights of others. Please do not copy, upload, download, or share files unless you have the right to do so. You, not Syncbox, will be fully responsible and liable for what you copy, share, upload, download or otherwise use while using the Services. You must not upload spyware or any other malicious software to the Service provided through Syncbox official sites. You, and not Syncbox, are responsible for maintaining and protecting all of your stuff. Syncbox will not be liable for any loss or corruption of your stuff, or for any costs or expenses associated with backing up or restoring any of your stuff. The Services are not intended for use by you if you are under 13 years of age. By agreeing to these Terms, you are representing to us that you are over 13. Account Security You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Services and you agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You are responsible for any activity using your account, whether or not you authorized that activity. You should immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account if you are using the Services provided through Syncbox official sites. You acknowledge that if you wish to protect your transmission of data or files to Syncbox, it is your responsibility to use a secure encrypted connection to communicate with the Services. Software and Updates Some use of our Service requires you to download a server or client software package ("Software"). Syncbox hereby grants you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to use the Software, solely to access the Services. Your license to use the Software is automatically revoked if you violate these Terms in a manner that implicates our intellectual property rights. We hereby reserve all rights not expressly granted in these Terms. You must not reverse engineer or decompile the Software, nor attempt to do so, nor assist anyone else to do so. Our Services may update the Software on your device automatically when a new version is available. Our pause syncing feature pauses syncing of your files, but may not cease all data transfer, so you should exit the desktop client if you’d like to stop data transfer. Syncbox Property and Feedback These terms do not grant you any right, title, or interest in the Services, Software, or the content in the Services. While we appreciate it when users send us feedback, please be aware that we may use any feedback, comments, or suggestions you send us or post in our forums without any obligation to you. The Software and other technology we use to provide the Services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of both P.R.China and foreign countries. These Terms do not grant you any rights to use the Syncbox trademarks, logos, domain names, or other brand features. Copyright Syncbox respects others’ intellectual property and asks that you do too. We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement if they comply with the law and are properly provided to us. We reserve the right to delete or disable content alleged to be infringing and to terminate repeat infringers. Other Content The Services may contain links to third-party websites or resources. Syncbox does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, the related content, products, or services. You are solely responsible for your use of any such websites or resources. Also, if we provide you with any software under an open source license, there may be provisions in those licenses that expressly conflict with these Terms, in which case the open source provisions will apply. Termination Though we’d much rather you stay, you can stop using our Services any time. We reserve the right to suspend or end the Services provided through Syncbox official sites at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. For example, we may suspend or terminate your use if you are not complying with these Terms, or use the Services in any way that would cause us legal liability or disrupt others’ use of the Services. If we suspend or terminate your use to the Services provided through Syncbox official sites, we will try to let you know in advance and help you retrieve data, though there may be some cases (for example, repeatedly or flagrantly violating these Terms, a court order, or danger to other users) where we may suspend immediately. The Services provided through your own device, although powered by our Syncbox Server software, is not included in this clause. Syncbox is Available "AS-IS" Though we want to provide a great service, there are certain things about the service we can’t promise. For example, the services and software are provided "AS IS", at your own risk, without express or implied warranty or condition of any kind. we also disclaim any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. (We are not shouting- it’s just that these disclaimers are really important, so we want to highlight them). Syncbox will have no responsibility for any harm to your computer system, loss or corruption of data, or other harm that results from your access to or use of the Services or Software. Limitation of Liability To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will syncbox, its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, suppliers or licensors be liable for (a) any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, exemplary or consequential (including loss of use, data, business, or profits) damages, regardless of legal theory, whether or not syncbox has been warned of the possibility of such damages, and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose; (b) aggregate liability for all claims relating to the services more than the greater of $20 or the amounts paid by you to syncbox for the past three months of the services in question. Modifications We may revise these Terms from time to time and the most current version will always be posted on our website. If a revision, in our sole discretion, is material we will notify you (for example via email to the email address associated with your account). Other changes may be posted to our terms page at www.syncbox.cn, so please check those pages regularly. By continuing to access or use the Services after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, please stop using the Services. Miscellaneous Legal Terms These terms and the use of the services and software will be governed by china's law except for its conflicts of laws principles. All claims arising out of or relating to these terms or the services or software must be litigated exclusively in the courts of guangzhou, and both parties consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and Syncbox with respect to the Services, and supersede and replace any other agreements, terms and conditions applicable to the Services. These Terms create no third party beneficiary rights. Syncbox’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights in these Terms, and any such attempt is void, but Syncbox may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services. Syncbox and you are not legal partners or agents; instead, our relationship is that of independent contractors.
