Terms of Service

Please carefully read the following Terms of Service before registering for and using the IDrive® e2 Service

By registering for an IDrive® e2 account you or the entity you represent ("you" and "your") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the "Terms"), which govern your access to and use of the IDrive® e2 Service (the "Service") offered by IDrive Inc. ("we", "us" or "our"). Please carefully read our Service Level Agreement and Privacy Policy, which are incorporated into these Terms.

If you are registering for the Service 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.

1. Your Account

You agree to provide us with accurate and complete information when you create an IDrive® e2 Account (your "Account"). In order to prevent unauthorized access to your Account, you agree to keep your password and other Account details confidential and not share them with anyone else.

The data you upload to your Account is owned by you, and you, as the Account holder, are solely responsible for access to, content in or sharing and use of your Account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from any access to, content in, or sharing and use of your Account. If you believe there has been unauthorized access to your Account, you must notify privacy@idrive.com immediately.

2. Conditions of Use

By using the Services, you agree that you:

  1. are solely responsible for obtaining sufficient rights to the content of all data and files stored by you on IDrive servers;
  2. will not violate, or encourage or facilitate the violation of, any aspect of our Acceptable Use Policy;
  3. will use third-party content at your election and these third-party content will be governed by this Agreement and, if applicable, separate terms and conditions accompanying such third-party content.
  4. If there is suspicion that an account is being used for storage and distribution of any illegal material such as copyrighted content, we reserve the right to examine the content of the online storage account. We may also access the account and data for support related activities. We normally do not review, inspect, edit or monitor any content, data or files stored by you or any other user of the Service. We reserve the right to refuse, remove or disable access to any data or files stored on our servers with immediate effect that we determine may be illegal, may violate these Terms, may violate the rights of any third party or otherwise may be reasonably objectionable.

  5. will not use our services for phishing, malware, or any other illegal activities.

If you violate any Conditions of Use or authorize or help others to do so, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and use of the services.

3. Registration Information / Privacy

You agree to promptly notify us of any change in the information you provided during your registration for the Services (including, without limitation, any change in your mailing address, telephone number or email address). The registration information (including your selected username and password) provided by you 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 these Terms as the "Registration Information." Our policy regarding the privacy and use of the Registration Information is set forth in our Privacy Policy, which may be modified and amended by us from time to time. By accepting these Terms, you are also acknowledging that you agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy.

File

All the files you store in your account are solely yours to backup, delete, or modify. You agree to provide us the permission to access those files only to ensure we provide all our services with maximum efficiency. We do not intend to share any of your files to third parties or use it for our marketing purposes but only under the limitations of our Privacy Policy.

Data Migration

You can move the data from your cloud storage provider to the IDrive® e2 storage. During an ongoing migration, altering or modifying the data at the source location can cause data corruption and IDrive® e2 will not be responsible for any such incident. Only the latest version of objects will be migrated and any deleted objects will not be transferred.

4. Billing

Automatic Renewal - Paid Plans

In exchange for use of the Services, you authorize a recurring monthly or annual charge to your credit card. The recurring charge will be at the published standard plan that is chosen at the time of sign-up or to a customized quote provided for your specific use. You also agree that the enrollment for the next service period is automatic and paid in advance. When SSD-enabled regions are used, SSD storage charge will be applicable.

We reserve the right to change our subscription plans or adjust pricing for our service or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Use, any price changes or changes to your subscription plan will take effect following notice to you.

Please note that we may automatically receive updated credit card information from our merchants from time to time in cases where your account is issued a new card number or your credit card expires. However, we still advise you update your card manually from your account screen when changes to your account information occur. We need a credit card on file while the account is active.

If we are unable to execute any applicable charges due to credit card denial or for any other reason, you will be notified via email. In case of non-action by the user, the account may be cancelled. We may delay Account cancellation related to non-payment for the Services and provide a grace period of up to fifteen (15) days from the due date to allow for the customer to arrange payment. If the account is cancelled for any reason, user data and its backups will be removed from our storage servers.

Taxes

You’re responsible for all applicable taxes, and we’ll charge tax when required to do so. IDrive can rely on the name and address you provide to IDrive as being the place of supply for sales tax, income tax, and VAT purposes.

Discrepancies

Your right to raise a billing discrepancy and any associated recovery is waived unless reported to us by calling our customer support line or emailing us at support@idrive.com within sixty (60) calendar days after such discrepancy is charged to your credit card.

Cancelation & Refunds

You must cancel your Account before it renews each month in order to avoid a charge for the next month's fees to your credit card. Please note on the day of the cancelation, the credit card will be charged for the storage usage till midnight of the previous day, UTC.

In case you do not renew your account for 15 days, the account will be canceled. Please note that all of your data will be deleted when your account is canceled.

Free and Trial Accounts

We reserve the right to terminate Free Accounts at any time, with or without notice. We may replace Free with options for a Trial with a limited period. We may also terminate Free or Trial accounts that are inactive. An inactive account is an account where no login has occurred either automatically or manually for a specified period of time.

5. Security

Account Passwords

You are solely responsible for any consequences arising out of your failure to maintain the confidentiality of your Account password and/or encryption password. You will notify us of any unauthorized use or breach in security of your Account immediately after you learn of such unauthorized access or use. We advise frequent changes to the Account password for better security. The automated forget password option works on the assumption that only the account holder has access to the email address on record. In case the user does not have access to the email address, other means of verification may be used including billing/credit card information to verify identity.

We endeavor to restrict access to the data and files you store or retrieve from your Account, to persons you have authorized to access your Account. However, no password-protected system of data storage and retrieval can be made entirely impenetrable. Accordingly, you hereby acknowledge that it may be possible for an unauthorized third party to access, view, copy, modify and distribute the data and files you store in your Account.

6. Use of IP Addresses

We may collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and/or 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 policies, Terms, or to protect our service, site, customers, or others. Some services, such as user logs and registration emails, may also display IP addresses.
