You are responsible for all activities performed under your Credentials. You must notify us immediately if you know of, or suspect, that anyone has obtained access to your Credentials, or if you otherwise become aware of any unauthorized use of your Credentials or another security breach.

Unless we have previously been notified by you that the confidentiality of your Credentials has been compromised, we are entitled to treat any use of the Site under your Credentials as being by you.

We may disable access via your Credentials at any time if, in our opinion, this is reasonably necessary to preserve the security and proper operation of the Site or Services, if you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms or if any details you provide for the purposes of registering prove to be false.

It is your responsibility to ensure your computer system meets all the necessary technical specifications to enable you to access and use the Site and Services and is compatible with the Site.

pCloud will have the right to investigate and prosecute breaches of any of the above to the fullest extent of the law. pCloud may involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in prosecuting users who breach these Terms. You acknowledge that pCloud has no obligation to monitor your access to or use of the Site or Services or to review or edit any User Content, but has the right to do so for the purpose of operating the Site or Services, to ensure your compliance with these Terms, or to comply with the applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency or other governmental body. pCloud reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any content that pCloud, at its sole discretion, considers as objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or otherwise harmful to the Site or Services.

pCloud reserves the right to limit the traffic generated by one or more of the download links you have generated based solely on pCloud’s discretion. In such occurrences, access to content on these links will be restricted for registered Premium and Premium Plus users only.

In the case of such a restriction being imposed, users who have subscribed to Premium plans will be given the option to purchase additional traffic for the limited download link(s). The threshold for traffic generated from the download links of Premium and Premium Plus plans subscribers is set higher than the one of the users on a free plan.

If the usage of the Service exceeds the storage quota of your account, pCloud will inform you. If you do not correct your overuse (by upgrading your service plan or deleting files), pCloud may, in its sole discretion and without further notice, move files to the Trash of your account on a random basis.

Once you delete a file from your pCloud account, it will be moved to a section named "Trash" in your account. The file will be stored there for a limited time period that is based on your service plan. pCloud reserves the right to limit the size of the Trash on pCloud's sole discretion. The Trash has a size limit equal to the storage quota, included in your current pCloud account, up to 2 TB. In case the Trash size limit is exceeded, pCloud reserves the right to permanently remove the oldest files from the Trash to fit the preassigned limits.

You acknowledge that the Services may be subject to export controls, trade sanctions laws, or other restrictions under the laws of your jurisdiction or other countries.

Encryption

Among other services and applications, pCloud also provides an encryption service under the trademark pCloud Crypto. This app performs client-side encryption, which means that the encryption process is performed on the user’s device and the plain text files never leave the user’s computer. This ensures zero-knowledge privacy for the user’s data, which means that we, as a service provider, have absolutely no information about the content users store in their accounts, such as file names or file types. The user content is stored in their Crypto Folder, which is locked and unlocked using the so-called Passphrase. pCloud has no access to user’s Passphrase, and once lost, it can never be restored.

In these Terms, "Encrypted Content" shall be used to refer to all content and information that you store or upload using the Encryption Service. All Encrypted Content shall be owned by you or the person who made it available to you to store or upload via the Service. You retain full ownership to your files, folders, directories, including their metadata (file names, thumbnails, etc.) and any information you submit to pCloud for encryption purposes. We don’t claim any ownership to any of your content. These Terms do not grant us any rights to your content or intellectual property except for the following limited rights that are needed to run the Service: we may redundantly store or backup your respective data as set below and we might use trusted third parties, like our collocated data center, to provide the Encryption Service. You give us the permission for all and any actions that we need to undertake to provide the Service. In particular, but not limited to, you agree that pCloud may transfer your data to its servers and between its servers. pCloud states that your encrypted content, encryption key, and passphrase used by you or otherwise submitted to the Service, are stored in an encrypted or non-invertible form. Your Encrypted Content cannot be decrypted or inverted by pCloud or any third party. Your Encrypted Content can only be decrypted or inverted by you. When using our Encryption service, you undertake that:

you own all rights to your Encrypted Content and you have the right to give pCloud the rights described above;
you have paid and will pay in full any fees or other payments that may be related to the use of your Encrypted Content and the Service; and
your Encrypted Content does not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or other legal rights of any third party.

Payment

Some of our Services are free, whereas others are subject to a fee. For a full description of the different Services that we offer, along with the different prices applicable, please see the Pricing (https://www.pcloud.com/cloud-storage-pricing-plans.html) page on the Site.

Subscription Plans
pCloud users can pay for several paid plans for extra space and sharing options. By subscribing once, you authorize pCloud to charge your chosen payment method. pCloud offers renewal subscriptions and lifetime subscriptions.

Renewal Subscriptions
pCloud users can pay for paid plans on a renewing period basis (for example, monthly and yearly plans).

Renewal
All paid renewal subscriptions are renewed for the Services on the date such renewal subscriptions expire. If you have a renewal subscription, this will be extended automatically until you terminate it and every further payment will be due at the beginning of the new payment cycle.

Lifetime Subscriptions
pCloud users can pay for a lifetime plan. A lifetime plan is in effect for the duration of the lifetime of the account owner or 99 years, whichever is shorter.

Payments for and Cancellation of Subscriptions
You can cancel your subscriptions for the pCloud Service at any time from your payment account. However, no refund will be provided for any unused days.

All users who subscribe for Services subject to a fee ("Paid Services") must enter valid credit [or debit] card or PayPal account credentials. The Service is billed in advance on a monthly or yearly basis (depending on the selection you make at the point of subscription) and paid on an automatic basis. You hereby authorize pCloud to automatically charge your credit card or PayPal account for charges that apply to your account. All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, including VAT, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, duties or VAT, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes.

If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with the Paid services, you can cancel your subscription for Paid Services at any time.

pCloud has a fourteen (14) calendar days money back guarantee, beginning on the day you have submitted your payment for the Paid services. During this period, you are eligible to request for a refund. If you issue an explicit written request for a refund within the fourteen (14) days referenced above, we will process the refund due to you in full within 30 calendar days, counting from the day you have confirmed your request.

We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.

In case you have purchased Paid services through a promotional campaign or provided discount, pCloud reserves the right to decline providing a refund.

Links

Our Site and Services may contain links to other websites, or allow other users to send you such links. A link to a third-party website does not mean that we endorse it or that we are affiliated with it. We are not responsible or liable for any damage or loss related to the use of any third-party website. You should always read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of a third-party website before using it.

Changes to the Site or Services

pCloud enhances and updates its Site and Services often. We may change or discontinue the Site or any Services although we will, in such circumstances, use reasonable efforts to provide you with prior notice so that you can make alternative arrangements for the storage of any User Content and we will not terminate a Service under this section during a subscription period for which you have already paid without refunding you a fair portion of your payment based on how long is left until the end of the subscription.

No Transfer of Accounts

User accounts are not transferable. Only the user who signs up for an account may use the account. If a user transfers an account in violation of this section, pCloud may terminate the account and the users’ right to access the Site and Services.

Change of Ownership

pCloud may at any time, without explicit notice, change the company ownership, be subject to merger or sale, partnership or else. In the case of such change of ownership, merger, sale or other, pCloud only has the obligation to notify you through updating the present Terms and Conditions. Such an action will in no way affect your use of the Service or the Site, or your subscriptions and accounts.

If a European Union user of the Site or Services is located outside of Switzerland, then, for the purposes of any claim or action relating to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Site, or any Services, the applicable jurisdiction will be the courts that are located in the territory of residence of such European User.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining provisions.

The failure of pCloud to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not prevent pCloud from enforcing such right or provision in the future.

We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, a sale of assets or by operation of law.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any Additional Terms, as they may be revised from time to time, constitute our complete agreement with you, and supersede any other written materials, communications, discussions, representations, or understandings relating to the Site or the Services or your use of them.
