SYNCPLICITY TERMS OF SERVICE
These terms of service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you, either an individual or a single legal entity (“You” or “you”), and Syncplicity LLC (“Syncplicity”). These Terms govern your use of any Syncplicity services, including those that allow you to synchronize files across devices and share those files with other users (“Services”), the Syncplicity website currently accessible at www.syncplicity.com (“Site”), and any software used to access the Services, including any updates and any accompanying documentation (“Software”). Collectively, the Software, the Site and the Services may be referred to as the “Products.”

By clicking the “I AGREE” or similar button, or using any Products, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy mentioned in Section 3 below. If you do not agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy, then do not click the button indicating your acceptance and do not use the Products. If you agree to these Terms on behalf of a legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that legal entity to these Terms.

1. ACCOUNTS & FEES

You must register with Syncplicity to use the Services, and you agree to keep your registration information accurate, complete and up-to-date as long as you continue to use the Services. Syncplicity currently offers free and trial accounts that are subject to various restrictions and may expire after a limited time (“Trial Accounts”) and various fee-bearing accounts offering fixed terms, larger storage capacities and other feature enhancements (“Paid Accounts”). If you sign-up for a Paid Account, you agree to pay the fixed subscription and variable usage-based fees, if any, for the account type you have selected and agree to any applicable restrictions, including quotas on the amount of storage and network bandwidth you are allowed to use. If you exceed any quota allocated to your account, you agree that Syncplicity may restrict your ability to upload further data until you reduce your usage or sign-up to another type of account with a higher quota. If you purchase the Services directly from Syncplicity and use a credit card for payment, you authorize Syncplicity to automatically renew your subscription and charge the then-current renewal fees to the credit card associated with your account unless you notify Syncplicity before expiration of your current subscription that you do not want to renew.

2. PASSWORDS & SECURITY

You are responsible for keeping your passwords secure, and you agree not to disclose your passwords to any third party. You are solely responsible for any activity that occurs under your user names and accounts. You must notify Syncplicity immediately of any unauthorized use of your accounts or any other security breach related to the Services. If Syncplicity determines that a security breach has occurred or is likely to occur, Syncplicity may suspend your accounts and require you to change your user names and passwords.

3. PRIVACY POLICY

You agree that Syncplicity’s collection, use and disclosure of your personal information, computer files or any other data will be governed by Syncplicity’s Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

4. USE OF SERVICES & SOFTWARE

Subject to these Terms, Syncplicity grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to access the Site and use the Services and Software. You may install and use the Software in executable form only on the number and type of devices that are specified in the then-current documentation for your account type as described on the Site or as specified in other transaction documentation provided by Syncplicity or an authorized reseller. You acknowledge that certain third party code may be provided with the Software and that the license terms accompanying that code will govern its use.

You acknowledge that Syncplicity or third parties own all rights, title and interest in and to the Products, including all intellectual property rights. Except for the license granted in these Terms, Syncplicity and its licensors retain all rights in the Products, and no implied licenses are granted to you.

You specifically agree that you will not, nor will you permit another person to:

sublicense, lease, rent, loan, transfer or distribute any portion of the Products;
modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works from the Products;
decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the Products; or
remove, obscure, or alter any trademark, copyright or other proprietary rights notices displayed in the Software or on the Site.

5. SYNC FILES

By using the Products, you can designate computer files and folders that the Products will automatically synchronize between your own devices and those of third parties that you may invite (“Sync Files”). In order to deliver the Services, you acknowledge that the Software will need to access, copy and update Sync Files on your devices and then share these Sync Files with the third parties that you may invite. For purposes of performing the foregoing, you hereby grant to Syncplicity and any such third parties a worldwide, royalty-free, nonexclusive license to access, copy and use the Sync Files without any compensation to you or others. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to grant the foregoing licenses. You acknowledge that Syncplicity may establish limits concerning Sync Files, including the number of days they will remain available through the Services, the maximum size of files that may be stored on or uploaded to the Services and the overall storage capacity allotted to Sync Files. Syncplicity will have no responsibility or liability for permanently maintaining copies of Sync Files on its servers, and you agree to be solely responsible for regularly backing up Sync Files using methods not involving use of the Services.

6. THIRD PARTY APPLICATIONS

The Products may allow you to access Websites and services provided by third parties (“Third Party Applications”). Any use of a Third Party Application is governed by the applicable terms of that service and its privacy policy. Syncplicity does not guarantee the availability of, or accept any responsibility for, Third Party Applications.

7. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS & ACCEPTABLE USE

You are solely responsible for your conduct related to the Services and any data you store or share on the Services. You specifically agree that you will not use the Products to:

violate any laws or regulations;
infringe the intellectual property or other rights of any third parties or Syncplicity;
transmit any material that is obscene or objectionable or that contains viruses or other harmful computer code or files such as Trojan horses, worms or time bombs.

8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION

Syncplicity respects the intellectual property of others and requires that users of the Services do the same. When you use the Products, you may not upload, store, share, display, post, e-mail, transmit or otherwise make available any material that infringes any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights of any person or entity. If you commit repeated violations, Syncplicity may terminate your accounts.

9. USER INDEMNITY

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Syncplicity, its suppliers, resellers, partners and their respective affiliates harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees and costs, in connection with:

 your use of the Products;
 your violation of these Terms;
 your violation of any third party right, including any intellectual property right; or
 any claim that use of Sync Files caused damage to a third party.

This indemnity obligation will survive the termination or expiration of your account and these Terms.

10. CHANGES TO THE SERVICE & TERMS

Syncplicity reserves the right at any time to modify, suspend, or discontinue providing the Services, in whole or in part. In the event Syncplicity anticipates that any such action will significantly affect your use of the Services in a negative way, Syncplicity will endeavor to provide you with advance notice by e-mail or by posting relevant information on the Site.

Syncplicity reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time, and each such modification will be effective upon posting on the Site. All material modifications will apply prospectively only. Your continued use of any Products following any such modification constitutes your agreement to be bound by the modified Terms. To stay informed of any changes, please review the most current version of these Terms posted on the Site. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you must stop using the Products immediately.

11. TERM & TERMINATION

These Terms, and any posted revisions, remain in effect as long as you continue to maintain an account or use the Services. You may terminate your account at any time, for any reason, by contacting Syncplicity and discontinuing use of the Products.

If you have a Trial Account, Syncplicity may terminate your account and these Terms immediately and without notice if you fail to access the Services for more than sixty (60) days or you fail to comply with these Terms. If you have a Paid Account, Syncplicity may suspend or terminate your account and these Terms immediately and without notice if you fail to renew your subscription, fail to pay any fees or invoices when due or otherwise fail to comply with these Terms.

On termination or expiration of your account or these Terms, you will no longer have the right to continue to use the Software and the Services, and you will no longer be able to access your Sync Files.

If any part of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. The failure of Syncplicity to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, there will be no third-party beneficiaries to this agreement. You agree that any claim or cause of action related to these Terms or the use of the Products must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action arose or be forever barred.
