Product Agreement
General
This End User License Agreement (the "Agreement"), including the Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), which are incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the "Terms"), are a binding contract between you and Genie9 Ltd. ("G Cloud"), a UK company based in London. You understand and agree that by installing, accessing, or using the software, products, services, applications, and associated documentation and Enhancements (collectively, the "G Cloud 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. If you do not agree with these Terms, G Cloud is not willing to license to you and you may not use the G Cloud Products.
Your License
G Cloud Products are licensed and not sold to you. During the term of your subscription, G Cloud grants to you a revocable, limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use G Cloud Products, solely in connection with the backup of your data. Except for the limited license granted in these Terms, G Cloud and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the G Cloud Products, all copies thereof, and all proprietary rights therein, including copyrights, patent, trademark, and trade secret rights.
You may not copy or distribute G Cloud Products, except to the extent that copying is necessary to use G Cloud Products for the purposes set forth herein. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, or create derivative works of G Cloud Products. You may not alter or modify any disabling mechanism which may be included in G Cloud Products. You may not assign, sublicense, rent, timeshare, loan, lease, or otherwise transfer G Cloud Products, or directly or indirectly permit any third party to copy G Cloud Products. You may not remove any proprietary notices from G Cloud Products. All use of G Cloud Products shall be in accordance with these Terms and its then-current documentation.
How It Works
G Cloud 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. G Cloud 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.
Your Backed-up Data may not be available or restorable if:
- G Cloud has not completed copying your selected files or changed files;
- 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;
- You delete a person from your G Cloud account;
- You move a file to a location on your computer that is not automatically scanned;
- Your computer is unable to access the internet or to Amazon S3 Storage;
- You fail to follow G Cloud technical requirements;
- You terminate your license or fail to renew your subscription.
Enhancements and Feedback
Enhancements
G Cloud may (i) automatically update G Cloud Products installed on your computer without your prior notice, (ii) upgrade, enhance, change, and modify (collectively, the "Enhancements") G Cloud Products, or (iii) discontinue or retire G Cloud Products or any aspect or feature of G Cloud Products at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion. Any Enhancements made available to you will be subject to these Terms. Changes to these Terms will be effective upon acceptance for new subscriptions and effective for all existing users thirty (30) calendar days after posting.
Feedback
You may provide feedback to G Cloud with respect to the G Cloud Products. G Cloud may use feedback for any purpose without obligation of any kind.

Term
Term and Termination
These Terms and your license to the G Cloud Products will commence at the time and on the day you install, access, or use G Cloud Products, whichever is earlier.

Archived accounts may be moved to cold or limited-access storage and will be retained for up to twelve (12) months from the date of archival. After this retention period, the account and all associated data will be permanently deleted and unrecoverable.
G Cloud will make reasonable efforts to notify users at the email address on file at least thirty (30) days before scheduled deletion. It is the user's responsibility to maintain accurate contact information. G Cloud does not guarantee indefinite storage or availability of accounts or data under Lifetime or unlimited plans and reserves the right to apply fair usage and data retention policies.
