You understand and agree that by installing, accessing, or using the software, products, services, applications and associated documentation and Enhancements (collectively, the “Genie9 Products”), you will be bound by these Terms. If you agree to these Terms on behalf of a business or organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that business or organization to these Terms and your agreement to these Terms will be treated as the agreement of the business or organization. In that event, “you” and “your” will refer to and apply to the user of the Genie9 Products or that business or organization, as required by the context. If you do not agree with these Terms, Genie9 is not willing to license to you and you may not use the Genie9 Products.

Your License

Genie9 Products are licensed and not sold to you. During the term of your subscription, Genie9 grants to you a revocable, limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use Genie9 Products, solely in connection with the backup of your data. Except for the limited license granted in these Terms, Genie9 and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Genie9 Products, all copies thereof, and all proprietary rights therein, including copyrights, patent, trademark and trade secret rights. You may not copy or distribute Genie9 Products, except to the extent that copying is necessary to use Genie9 Products for the purposes set forth herein. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, or create derivative works of Genie9 Products. You may not alter or modify any disabling mechanism which may be included in Genie9 Products. You may not assign, sublicense, rent, timeshare, loan, lease, or otherwise transfer Genie9 Products, or directly or indirectly permit any third party to copy Genie9 Products.

How It Works

Genie9 Products save a copy of each file that is automatically selected for backup and other files you designate for backup (your “Backed-up Data”) to a server operated by Amazon. Genie9 Products automatically scan for changes or additions to the Backed-up Data and then periodically re-save a copy or a part of a modified file or create a copy of a newly designated file. For a complete list of the files Genie9 is backing-up for you, please refer to the Genie9 web console. You can check whether Genie9 is backing-up specific files by going to Genie9 Timeline located on your computer, web console, or from your mobile. If you are unable to locate your file, Genie9 is not backing-up that file. Your Backed-up Data may not be available or restorable if: (i) Genie9 has not completed copying your selected files or changed files; (ii) for files, folders, or disk drives that are not automatically backed-up, you do not manually select them for backup, or you unselect a file for backup; (iii) you delete a person from your Genie9 account; (iv) you move a file to a location on your computer that is not automatically scanned to select files for backup or you upgrade your operating system resulting in changes to your file mapping; (v) your computer is unable to access the internet or to Amazon S3 Storage; (vi) you fail to follow Genie9 technical requirements, including upgrading the version of your Genie9 Products as required; or (vii) you terminate your license or fail to renew your subscription to Genie9 Products. For additional information about the status of your Backed-up Data, refer to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

Enhancements and Feedback

Enhancements. Genie9 may (i) automatically update Genie9 Products installed on your computer without your prior notice, (ii) upgrade, enhance, change, and modify (collectively, the “Enhancements”) Genie9 Products, or (iii) discontinue or retire Genie9 Products or any aspect or feature of Genie9 Products, including the types of files and data that are backed-up (not every file on your computer is backed-up) or the availability of Genie9 Products on any particular device or communications service at any time and from time-to-time in its sole discretion. Any Enhancements made available to you will be subject to these Terms. Genie9 will use reasonable efforts to provide notice of material changes to the Genie9 Products or changes to these Terms by posting them to the Product Agreement. It is your responsibility to periodically check Genie9 website to inform yourself of any such modifications. Changes to these Terms, which may be made in Genie9’s sole and exclusive discretion, will be effective upon acceptance of these Terms (as described herein) for new subscriptions and effective for all existing users thirty (30) calendar days after the posting of the new Terms on Genie9 website at Product Agreement. You agree to be bound to these Terms, as modified. If you do not agree to the modified Terms you are not permitted to use Genie9 Products and must terminate your subscription immediately.

Feedback. You may provide feedback to Genie9 with respect to the Genie9 Products. Genie9 may use feedback for any purpose without obligation of any kind. To the extent a license is required under your intellectual property rights to make use of the feedback, you hereby grant Genie9 an irrevocable, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use the feedback in connection with Genie9 business, including enhancement of the Genie9 Products.

You shall not use the Genie9 Products to store, backup, or distribute child pornography or other illegal files or data. You shall defend, indemnify and hold Genie9 harmless from and against any and all damages, fines, penalties, assessments, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, expert fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising out of any claim that you are storing child pornography or other illegal files or data, or that the Genie9 Product was exported or otherwise shipped or transported by you in violation of applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

Termination and Fair Use Policy. Genie9 SHALL HAVE THE ABSOLUTE AND UNILATERAL RIGHT IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION TO DENY USE OF AND ACCESS TO ALL OR ANY PORTION OF Genie9 PRODUCTS OR SERVICES TO USERS WHO ARE DEEMED BY Genie9 TO BE USING THE Genie9 PRODUCTS OR SERVICES IN A MANNER NOT REASONABLY INTENDED BY Genie9 OR IN VIOLATION OF LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SUSPENDING OR TERMINATING A USER’S ACCOUNT WITH Genie9 AND THE LICENSE TO USE THE Genie9 PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. Genie9 Products or Services are designed to serve the needs of particular types of users, such as individual consumers or small businesses. If you have purchased a Genie9 Product or Service that is inappropriate for your actual usage, for example, if Genie9 believes that you are using our service for business or commercial use, Genie9 will require you to switch to an appropriate Genie9 Product or Service. This may result in you having to pay Genie9 additional fees for use of the appropriate product or to terminate your purchased Genie9 Products or Services. For example: If Genie9 believes that you are using our home service for business or commercial use, Genie9 has the sole discretion to amend your service to our Business service which may require you to pay additional fees or terminate your account. Genie9 determines business use as excessive backup of media files e.g. photos or videos in excess of 500GB. Genie9 may, in our sole discretion and from time to time, establish or amend general operating practices to maximize the operation and availability of Genie9 Products or Services and to prevent abuses. As part of these practices, we reserve the right to monitor our system to identify excessive consumption of network resources and to take such technical and other remedies as we deem appropriate. Your consumption of Genie9 Products or Services may be deemed excessive if, within any month, your usage greatly exceeds the average level of monthly usage of Genie9 customers, generally. We monitor the usage of our heaviest Unlimited account users, a dynamic margin is calculated based upon averages which, should a user fall into, we may require them to cease backup or move onto a business account. In the event you are deemed to have violated this policy, we reserve the right to offer an alternative pricing plan or Genie9 Product or Service that will permit you to continue to use Genie9 Products or Services. Although violations of this policy have been infrequent, we reserve the right to terminate or suspend your license to use Genie9 Products or Services and any license to use the Genie9 Software, without prior notice in the event of a violation of this policy. If Genie9 believes that you have breached our Fair Use Policy and the user has not switched to a Business Service, Genie9 will allow the user 14 days from the date of the first communication to retrieve their data before the deletion of the user’s account and data. The 1st notice will be sent 14 days before account deletion and the 2nd notice will be sent 2 days before account deletion. All communications will be sent to the email address attached to the user’s account. Genie9 has a zero-tolerance policy and will immediately terminate accounts that violate the law in any way, including storing, publishing, or sharing material that’s fraudulent, defamatory, misleading, or that violates the privacy or infringes the rights of others.

General

These Terms, which incorporate the Privacy Policy, Product Agreement, and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), each of which you can access by clicking on these links or navigating the tabs above, constitute the entire understanding of the parties and supersede all prior and contemporaneous written and oral agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof. In particular, if you are a current licensee of Genie9 Products, these Terms shall supersede your existing license agreement and that agreement shall be of no further force or effect. Any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be applied in the construction or interpretation of these Terms. As used in these Terms, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, will not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” If one or more of the provisions herein shall be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality, and enforcement of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired. The failure to enforce or the waiver by either party of a default or breach of the other party shall not be considered to be a waiver of any subsequent default or breach. If you or Genie9 cannot perform its obligations under these Terms because of any act of God, accident, strike, court order, fire, riot, war, failure of third-party equipment, or any other cause not within the affected party’s reasonable control and that could not be avoided through the exercise of reasonable care and diligence (a “Force Majeure Event”), then the non-performing party will: (i) promptly notify the other party; (ii) take reasonable steps to resume performance as soon as possible; and (iii) not be considered in breach during the duration of the Force Majeure Event. If a Force Majeure Event continues for five (5) or more business days, Genie9 may terminate your subscription to the Genie9 Products and these Terms by providing written notice to you. IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT IN THE EVENT ANY REMEDY HEREUNDER IS DETERMINED TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, ALL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND EXCLUSIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. The following provisions shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement: Account Access and Ownership; Effect of Non-Renewal or Termination; Disclaimer of Warranties; Indemnification; Limitation of Liability; Governing Law and Arbitration; and Additional Terms. Any inconsistency between these Terms in English and these terms in any other language shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be resolved by reference to the English version.

Modification and Termination

Genie9 reserves the right at any time to modify, suspend, or discontinue providing the Service, in whole or in part, without notice. While not obligated to do so, Genie9 will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of any such action by sending you an e-mail, an in-client message, or by posting relevant information on the Site.

Genie9 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.
