ANTARYS Cloud Terms of Service

 

 

Thanks for using ANTARYS Cloud! Our mission is to create a more enlightened way of working by providing an intuitive, unified platform to keep your content safe and accessible while helping you and those you work with stay coordinated and in sync.  These Terms of Service (“Terms”) cover your use of and access to our services, client software and websites ("Services"). Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use your information while our Acceptable Use Policy outlines your responsibilities when using our Services. By using our Services, you’re agreeing to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and Acceptable Use Policy.

 

Your Stuff & Your Permissions

When you use our Services, you provide us with things like your files, content, messages, contacts and so on (“Your Stuff”). Your Stuff is yours. These Terms don’t give us any rights to Your Stuff except for the limited rights that enable us to offer the Services.

We need your permission to do things like hosting Your Stuff, backing it up and sharing it when you ask us to. Our Services also provide you with features such as commenting, sharing, searching, image thumbnails, document previews and personalisation to help reduce time consuming tasks. To provide these and other features, ANTARYS Cloud accesses, stores and scans Your Stuff. You give us permission to do those things, and this permission extends to our affiliates and trusted third parties we work with.

 

Your Responsibilities

Your use of our Services must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy. Content in the Services may be protected by others’ intellectual property rights. Please don’t copy, upload, download or share content unless you have the right to do so.

ANTARYS Cloud may review your conduct and content for compliance with these Terms and our Acceptable Use Policy. We aren’t responsible for the content people post and share via the Services.

Help us keep Your Stuff protected. Safeguard your password to the Services and keep your account information current. Don’t share your account credentials or give others access to your account or your support key.

You may use our Services only as permitted by applicable law, including export control laws and regulations. Finally, to use our Services, you must be at least 13 years old (or older, depending on where you live).

 

Software

Some of our Services allow you to download client software (“Software”) which may be updated automatically. As long as you comply with these Terms, we give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Software, solely to access the Services. To the extent any component of the Software may be offered under an open source licence, we’ll make that licence available to you and the provisions of that licence may expressly override some of these Terms. Unless the following restrictions are prohibited by law, you agree not to reverse engineer or decompile the Services, attempt to do so or assist anyone to do so.

 

Beta Services

We sometimes release products and features that we’re still testing and evaluating. (“Beta Services ”). Beta Services are labeled “alpha”, “beta”, “preview”, “early access” or “evaluation” (or words or phrases with similar meanings) and may not be as reliable as ANTARYS Cloud’s other services. Beta Services are made available so that we can collect user feedback, and by using our Beta Services, you agree that we may contact you to collect such feedback.

Beta Services are confidential until official launch. If you use any Beta Services, you agree not to disclose any information about those Services to anyone else without our permission.

 

Our Stuff

The Services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other UK and foreign laws. These Terms don’t grant you any right, title or interest in the Services, others’ content in the Services, ANTARYS Cloud trademarks, logos and other brand features. We welcome feedback but please note that we may use comments or suggestions without any obligation to you.

 

Paid Accounts

Billing. You can increase your storage space and add paid features to your account (turning your account into a "Paid Account"). We’ll automatically bill you from the date you convert to a Paid Account and on each periodic renewal date until cancellation. If you’re on an annual plan, we’ll send you a notice email reminding you that your plan is about to be renewed within a reasonable period of time prior to the renewal date. You’re responsible for all applicable taxes, and we’ll charge tax when required to do so. Some countries have mandatory local laws regarding your cancellation rights, and this paragraph doesn’t override these laws.

No refunds. You can cancel your paid ANTARYS Cloud Storage plan at any time. Refunds are only issued if required by law. For example, users living in the European Union have the right to cancel their Paid Account subscriptions within 14 days of signing up for, upgrading to or renewing a Paid Account.

Downgrades. Your Paid Account will remain in effect until it's cancelled or terminated under these Terms. If you don’t pay for your Paid Account on time, we reserve the right to suspend it or remove Paid Account features.

Changes. We may change the fees in effect but will give you advance notice of these changes via a message to the email address associated with your account.

 

Enterprise Cloud 

Email address. If you sign up for a ANTARYS Cloud account with an email address provisioned by your organisation, your organisation may be able to block your use of ANTARYS Cloud until you transition to an Enterprise Cloud account (Enterprise Cloud) or associate your ANTARYS Cloud account with a personal email address.

Using Enterprise Cloud. If you join Enterprise Cloud, you must use it in compliance with your organisation's terms and policies. Please note that Enterprise Cloud accounts are subject to your organisation's control. Your administrators may be able to access, disclose, restrict or remove information in or from your Enterprise Cloud account. They may also be able to restrict or terminate your access to an Enterprise Cloud account. If you convert an existing ANTARYS Cloud account to part of an Enterprise Cloud, your administrators can prevent you from later disassociating your account from Enterprise Cloud.

 

Termination

You’re free to stop using our Services at any time. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services with notice to you if:

    (a) you’re in breach of these Terms,

    (b) your use of the Services in a manner that would cause a real risk of harm or loss to us or other users, or

    (c) you don’t have a Paid Account and haven't accessed our Services for 12 consecutive months.

We’ll provide you with reasonable advance notice via the email address associated with your account to remedy the activity that prompted us to contact you and give you the opportunity to export Your Stuff from our Services. If after such notice you fail to take the steps we ask of you, we’ll terminate or suspend your access to the Services.

We won’t provide notice before termination where:

    (a) you’re in material breach of these Terms,

    (b) doing so would cause us legal liability or compromise our ability to provide the Services to our other users, or

    (c) we're prohibited from doing so by law.

 

Discontinuation of Services

We may decide to discontinue the Services in response to unforeseen circumstances beyond ANTARYS Cloud’s control or to comply with a legal requirement. If we do so, we’ll give you reasonable prior notice so that you can export Your Stuff from our systems. If we discontinue the Services in this way before the end of any fixed or minimum term you have paid us for, we’ll refund the portion of the fees you have pre-paid but haven't received Services for.

 

Services “AS IS”

We strive to provide great Services, but there are certain things that we can't guarantee. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANTARYS CLOUD AND ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ABOUT THE SERVICES. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS". WE ALSO DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Some places don’t allow the disclaimers in this paragraph, so they may not apply to you.

 

Limitation of Liability

WE DON’T EXCLUDE OR LIMIT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU WHERE IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL TO DO SO – THIS INCLUDES ANY LIABILITY FOR ANTARYS CLOUD OR ITS AFFILIATES’ FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION IN PROVIDING THE SERVICES. IN COUNTRIES WHERE THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF EXCLUSION AREN’T ALLOWED, WE'RE RESPONSIBLE TO YOU ONLY FOR LOSSES AND DAMAGES THAT ARE A REASONABLY FORESEEABLE RESULT OF OUR FAILURE TO USE REASONABLE CARE AND SKILL OR OUR BREACH OF OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU. THIS PARAGRAPH DOESN’T AFFECT CONSUMER RIGHTS THAT CAN'T BE WAIVED OR LIMITED BY ANY CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT.

IN COUNTRIES WHERE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ARE ALLOWED, ANTARYS CLOUD, ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS OR DISTRIBUTORS WON’T BE LIABLE FOR:

    i. ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR

    ii. ANY LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS OR PROFITS, REGARDLESS OF LEGAL THEORY.

THESE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT ANTARYS CLOUD OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES HAVE BEEN WARNED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IF YOU USE THE SERVICES FOR ANY COMMERCIAL, BUSINESS OR RE-SALE PURPOSE, ANTARYS CLOUD, ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS OR DISTRIBUTORS WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFIT, LOSS OF BUSINESS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. ANTARYS CLOUD AND ITS AFFILIATES AREN’T RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USERS OF THE SERVICES.

OTHER THAN FOR THE TYPES OF LIABILITY WE CANNOT LIMIT BY LAW (AS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION), WE LIMIT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU TO THE GREATER OF 50% OF ANY AMOUNT YOU'VE PAID UNDER YOUR CURRENT SERVICE PLAN WITH ANTARYS CLOUD.

 

Resolving Disputes

Let’s try to sort things out first. We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against ANTARYS Cloud, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting antarys.customer.services@gmail.com. We’ll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you via email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days of submission, you or ANTARYS Cloud may bring a formal proceeding. 

Both you and ANTARYS Cloud consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in such courts. If you reside in a country (for example, a member state of the European Union) with laws that give consumers the right to bring disputes in their local courts, this paragraph doesn’t affect those requirements.

 

Controlling Law

These Terms will be governed by United Kingdom law except for its conflicts of laws principles. However, some countries (including those in the European Union) have laws that require agreements to be governed by the local laws of the consumer's country. This paragraph doesn’t override those laws.

 

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and ANTARYS Cloud with respect to the subject matter of these Terms, and supersede and replace any other prior or contemporaneous agreements, or terms and conditions applicable to the subject matter of these Terms. These Terms create no third-party beneficiary rights.

 

Waiver, Severability & Assignment

ANTARYS Cloud’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Terms 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 under these Terms, and any such attempt will be void. ANTARYS Cloud may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in the interest of any business associated with the Services.

 

Modifications

We may revise these Terms from time to time to better reflect:

    (a) changes to the law,

    (b) new regulatory requirements, or

    (c) improvements or enhancements made to our Services.

If an update affects your use of the Services or your legal rights as a user of our Services, we’ll notify you prior to the update's effective date by sending an email to the email address associated with your account or via an in-product notification. These updated terms will be effective no less than 30 days from when we notify you.

 

If you don’t agree to the updates we make, please cancel your account before they become effective. Where applicable, we’ll offer you a pro rata refund based on the amounts you have prepaid for Services and your account cancellation date. By continuing to use or access the Services after the updates come into effect, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.
