You may not copy the documentation accompanying the SOFTWARE. You may not repackage the Software for further distribution by any means.
ACCEPTABLE USE
You are solely responsible for your behavior and your data stored and retrieved using the Data Safe Service. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Data Safe from any and all loss, cost, liability, and expense arising from or related to your data, your use of the Service, or your violation of these terms. The Data Safe Software and Service are made available to you only for your personal use or for use within your own business (depending on the version of Data Safe to which you subscribe), which use must be in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and must not infringe or violate third party rights. Any unauthorized use of the Data Safe Software, Service, servers or networks is a violation of this Agreement and certain federal and state laws. Such violations may subject the unauthorized subscriber or user and his or her agents to civil and criminal penalties.
SERVICE-SPECIFIC RESTRICTIONS ON USE
Certain Data Safe products and subscription levels have certain limitations, including and not limited to the types of files you can back up, the schedule on which your backups operate, the bandwidth available to you, and the features available to you. You agree not to circumvent these limitations in any way, including and not limited to, and circumventing settings that do not have a user interface.
FILE PROTECTION
You are solely responsible for protecting the files on your computer by installing anti-virus software, updating your applications, password protecting your files, and preventing third party access to your computer. You understand that Data Safe may back up files that are no longer usable due to corruption from viruses, software malfunctions or other causes. This might result in you restoring files that are no longer usable. If your Data contains viruses or other malicious code, Data Safe may deactivate this code as a by-product of its encryption features; however, Data Safe will back up this code along with your Data. Upon restoration, this code may become re-activated. Such viruses and malicious code backed up by any one user will not affect other users while it is stored with the Data Safe service.
FILE RETENTION POLICY
Data Safe may set file retention policies for some accounts, according to the features of the account to which you subscribe. Your account may allow you to edit these policies, which determine how long your files are stored on the Data Safe servers before they are deleted. You agree to carefully read and understand these file retention policies as they relate to your subscription, and to hold Data Safe harmless when it deletes data that falls outside the File Retention Policy associated with your account.
STORAGE SPACE QUOTA
Certain Data Safe accounts have storage quotas. You understand that if you run out of space on the Data Safe Servers, your backups may stop running until more space is made available to you through your purchase of more space, or if you delete files from the Server, or if files are deleted automatically as a result of the File Retention Protocol you have selected
USERNAMES, PASSWORDS AND ENCRYPTION KEYS
Data Safe will require you to establish a Username, Password, and an Encryption Key to protect your account and your Data stored with Data Safe. You are solely responsible for any consequences that arise in whole or in part from your compromise of your Username, Password, or Encryption Key. Data Safe assumes no liability to supply you with your Username, Password, or Encryption Key. You understand and agree that Data Safe cannot access your Data, and that if you forget or lose your Username, Password, and Encryption Key, Data Safe may not be able to restore your Data. Your Data is encrypted before it is sent to the Data Safe data centers, and remains encrypted when it is stored there. Data Safe cannot view the data you back up using the Data Safe service. If you forget your Private Encryption Key, you will not be able to restore your Data.

The Data Safe service may collect non-personally identifiable information that resides on your computer including, and not limited to, statistics relating to backup times and status, performance metrics relating to the Data Safe Software, configuration settings, but not the contents of your files.

Emails from Data Safe come from an email address at Data Safe.com or from support@Data Safe.com. If we are not receiving your emails, make sure you are sending them to the correct address, that your emails are not being blocked by outbound spam filters, and that your mail server is not on any spam lists or real time black hole lists. Because of difficulties imposed by spam software, we strongly suggest you contact us through one of the methods on the Contacts page on our website.
REMOTE SUPPORT
Data Safe may, at its sole discretion, offer you the option of having a support technician remotely control your computer in order to resolve an issue. You will have the option of accepting or declining this offer. Data Safe cannot access your computer without your approval. If you approve, the support technician will then be able to control your mouse and keyboard, view your monitor, and have full access to your computer and its unencrypted data. In this case, you hereby give special permission for Data Safe to access your personal and unencrypted data on your computer. You hold Data Safe, and the attending support technician harmless for any liability that might arise as a result of a remote control operation, including and not limited to disclosure of personal information, disruption of business, and loss of data. Our remote control software will be automatically removed from your computer when our technician disconnects. You hereby re-affirm your acceptance of the sections of this Agreement entitled LIMITED WARRANTY, CUSTOMER REMEDIES, and NO OTHER WARRANTIES and agree that those sections apply fully to your remote control session.
SOFTWARE UPDATES
From time to time Data Safe releases updates for the Software. The Software has the ability to automatically update itself by downloading an update and applying it. However, because firewalls, routers, and anti-virus software can sometimes block the download, Data Safe is not liable for the failure of this update process. You are responsible for making sure your installation of the Software is up to date. Data Safe may, at its sole discretion, refuse to provide support (but not Services) for software that is older than the current version.
