These Terms of Service (“ToS”) are a legally binding contract and describe your rights and responsibilities as a customer of the Services specified below, and other such services that we may offer from time to time subject to their specific terms and conditions if any. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these ToS. If you do not agree to these ToS, please do not register or use any of the Services. ZippyDB, LLC (“ZippyDB™” “us” or “we”) and you (where “you” or “customer” shall mean the entity you represent or, if that does not apply, you individually) may each be referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.
Account Registration
To use the Services, we require you to obtain an account (“Account”) by completing our registration process and designating a user ID and password. When registering with us you must: (i) provide true, current and complete information about yourself, and (ii) maintain such information so it continues to be true, current and complete. You are responsible for your account and only you may use it. If your login credentials are lost or stolen, or if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your Account or of the Services please contact Support.
We may collect certain Account registration and use data and information about you and your use of the Services and otherwise in connection with these ToS. Any collection and use of all such data and information will be in accordance with these ToS and our Privacy Policy which you acknowledge.
The Services are accessible only to users registered with us or with one of our Partners (as defined below). We reserve the right to decline any Account registration.
Fees, Taxes and Payments
You may purchase the Services directly from us through our website or through one of our third-party reseller partners (“Partners”) by paying the services fees (“Services Fees”), according to our fee schedule (“Fee Schedule”). The Fee Schedule for Services purchased directly from us can be found at the ZippyDB™ Pricing page. The Fee Schedule for purchases through our Partners may be found at each such Partner’s website.
By providing a credit card or other payment method accepted by us (“Payment Method”) for payment of the Services Fees, you are authorizing us to charge to the Payment Method the applicable Service Fees at the then Fee Schedule, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Services.
You agree to pay all applicable charges specified for the Services (including any charges for use in excess of authorizations). The Fee Schedule is exclusive of any customs or other duty, tax, and similar levies imposed by any authority, which shall be added to your Services Fees. You agree to pay any sales, value-added or other similar taxes imposed by applicable law that we must pay based on the Services you subscribed to, except for taxes based on our income. You hereby authorize us to charge you a monthly charge based on your consumption of our services and their respective current Fee Schedule for such Services.
You understand and agree that your failure to pay the Fees when due, for whatever reason, except for fees that you dispute (which shall be paid promptly upon a determination by us that such Fees are valid) may lead to the suspension and termination of the Services. In some cases, suspension of a Service will lead to the loss of a particular service permanently. For example, if you fail to pay us, and your Services lapse, your backups and other copies of data may be permanently deleted. We have no liability to you for such a loss based on your failure to pay the Fees. If your account is suspended for non-payment, you will be charged a reinstatement fee of $50.00. In the alternative, if you fail to pay the Fees when they are due, and have not disputed them as provided in this ToS, we will charge you interest in the amount of 1.5% per month, or the highest amount we are allowed to charge by the laws of the state governing this Agreement. You also agree to pay our reasonable costs of collection, including, but not limited to, our reasonable actual attorney’s fees. If you initiate a charge-back/chargeback, your Services will be suspended or terminated.
We use good faith efforts to ensure our Fees are accurate. If you believe they are not, you agree to dispute them as set out in this paragraph. All questions about Fees must be presented to us in writing before the Fee is due. Failure to object to any Fees in a timely manner shall be deemed conclusive evidence that such Fees are valid. Your question must be in writing and contain enough detail for us to investigate the dispute. Our investigation will take a maximum of thirty calendar days. After that period, we will either credit your account with the amount in dispute or provide you with a written explanation of why the Fee remains due. You have fifteen calendar days to provide us with a written discussion of why our conclusions are incorrect. We will have thirty calendar days to review your discussion. If we agree with your discussion, we will credit your account as set out above. If not, our decision is final.

WHOIS Information
“WHOIS” is a query and response protocol that is widely used for, among other things, checking information about ownership of a domain name.
The contact information that you provide to us to register your domain name is available for public viewing in many places. We are required to provide this information to domain name registrars.
We do offer, through a third party, WHOIS privacy. WHOIS privacy services use a proxy identity in lieu of yours. However, this proxy does not mean that your information is private. Only that it will not be displayed pursuant to a WHOIS query.
You can hide your domain contact information by purchasing WHOIS privacy for your domain. It is an add-on service and cannot be activated automatically with domain registration / renewal.
We are required to disclose WHOIS information, including WHOIS information that is subject to WHOIS privacy, pursuant to ICANN requirements and the law.

We may use automated identification tools like Google Analytics (Information Tools). Each of these Identification Tools work differently, however, they all collect information related to the website you came to us from, your operating system, browser type, where you go on our website, length of time on our website, and where a you go after visiting our website. In addition, Identification Tools may keep you logged into our system. From time to time, we may use Identification Tools that will be used to serve advertising and other information to you after they visit our website. Because the technologies underlying Identification Tools differ, you may, or may not, be able to choose not to provide information to them.

We offer you the ability to exchange information about our services, and your experiences with these services (Forum Information).

All Forum Information may be accessed and used by third parties for purposes known and unknown to us.
Security Monitoring
We take the security of our network very seriously. To ensure network security, data integrity and privacy, we use programs that monitor network traffic and access to its network. These programs collect information regarding your use of our services, website and network (Traffic Information). Traffic Information may be disclosed to security monitoring firms, as required by law, and to our vendors who believe the security of either their network, or our network, has been compromised. This information may contain personally identifiable information.
Data Storage and Retention
Personal data will be stored on our internal business systems in the United States, on the basis of our Privacy Shield certification. Some third parties who may receive personal data under this Privacy Policy are also located outside of the European Union; all are subject to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield.
We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements; to enforce our agreements; or to comply with our legal obligations). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing, until deletion is possible.
