  2. Not to use our Services to sell and/or distribute digital content to others.

We usually don't review, check, modify or monitor content, data and files memorized by the user or by whichever other user of the Service.

Prices

Modalities of Payment
Once the order is complete, you can choose to pay with a Bonifico Bancario (Bank Transfer), Credit Card or Paypal. Payment with Credit Card is carried out with the Paypal website.
Should we not capable of executing every applicable cost because of a refusal of the credit car or whichever other reason, you will be notified via email. In case of a non intervention by the user, the order can be cancelled. We can delay the cancellation of the order due to a missed payment and give a tolerance period of up to sixty (60) days from the expiring date in order to allow the client to perform the payment.

Discrepancies
In case a discrepancy in the invoice happens, the possible associated recovery is not due if such discrepancy is not notified within sixty (60) calendar days from the charge on the credit card.

Cancellations and refunds
In case of cancellation of the subscription plan before the natural expiring date, CoreTech Srl doesn't offer any pro-rata refund for the remaining period of time.

Business Accounts
Business accounts can use an extra archiving space past the limit set by the plan adopted. This was planned in order to allow to perform backups without interruptions in case of an utilization that exceeds the quota limit. However, the part that exceeds the quota limit has an additional price of €12/GB/year. Even if not necessary, we encourage users to choose a plan with a bigger storage capacity if their use exceeds the limit set by the subscription plan choose in order to avoid additional expenses. Alternatively, we can perform a data synchronization to potentially bring the account below the quota limit. Data synchronization removes those files that are not memorized anymore in the computer of origin of such account.

Security

Account Password
You are the only responsible for any potential consequence derived by the lack of privacy of your password. Contact us immediately if you identity a non authorized access to your account To obtain an improved security, we advise to change your password frequently. The 'Recupera Password' (Retrieve Password) function implies that you are the only owner of the account that has access to the registered email address. In case the user doesn't have access to the email address, we can use other means of control and the invoicing/credit card to verify the identity.
We'll do our best to limit the access to data and documents related to your account to only the persons that are authorized to access your account. However, no archiving and data restore system protected by password can be made impenetrable. Therefore, we don't exclude the possibility that non authorized persons can access to your account, visualize, copy, modify and share memorized data and files.

System Cryptogtaphy
1Backup adopts 256-bit AES cryptography before being transmitted from the computer by using:

  1. A predefined key;
  2. A private key that you create.

A proper cryptographic key must be chosen according to your privacy and security needs. In order to transfer data based on web and mobile, data is sent to a ciphered channel with a 256-bit AES server-side cryptography.
If you choose the default cipher option, the system chooses a key for data cryptography. Even if data is still encrypted, the 1Backup staff may be capable of decrypting it should such situation could happen.
If you choose a private key to cipher your data, the 1Backup staff can't access to such key and it won't be stored on 1Backup servers. It's quite important to store the private key defined by the user in a safe place. All backup data can be restored only with such key and data may not be restored once the key is forgotten or lost. 1Backup is not responsible for the loss of data that can happen following such cases.

IP addresses usage

We can collect IP addresses with system administration purposes and/or monitor the use of our website. We can collect IP addresses to identify an user when we believe it's necessary to do so in order to guarantee the respect of our rules and terms, or to protect our service, the website, clients or others. Some services, such as user logs and registration emails, can also visualize IP addresses.

Redundant data backups

We perform regular redundant data backups to be protected against hardware or software errors should they happen. The frequency of redundant backups may vary from one day to a couple of days. In case of a restore of data from redundant backup devices to the main backup devices, available data may not be consistent with the producted data before the error happened.
At the moment we can store and restore thirty different versions of the backup files. These versions don't add up to the quota limit, if the amount of needed space to store 30 versions exceeds twice the space actually used, we reserve the right of limiting you number of stored versions for your account. We suggest to check periodically that backups are completed with success and, in case of errors, make some corrections.
1Backup requires a periodic check, at least once a week, to verify the execution of backups because backups may fail for a number of reasons including Internet connectivity problems, authentication problem, firewall, blocks by antivirus programs, modifications of the configuration of the computer, etc.. You should also update periodically the backup client to the most recent version. Release date are published on the download page of the product.

More computers and additional accounts

1Backup can backup an unlimited number of computers, tablet and/or mobile devices in a single account. When doing the backup on several computers, authentication data must be replicated on each computer on which you do the backup, including the private cryptographic key (if used).

Third-party applications

1Backup implements services that use our SSVE technology. SVE helps developers to develop third-party applications that use 1Backup as a backup tool. We need that all the developers accept our Terms and agree to our privacy policy to protect the security of our users. However, 1Backup declines any responsibility caused to the use of third-party applications and doesn't provide any guarantee, explicit or implicit, about features, use or performances of all third-party applications. The user accepts that using third-party applications that access to his/her own account, he/she accepts risks and perils. We strongly suggest to use only trusted third-party applications and review the terms of such third-party applications.
