Terms and Conditions

This is the AstropotaCloud Terms and Conditions of Service. It's dense. Sorry about that. The short version is that I'm giving you a free place to put some files online in exchange for you not doing anything bad with those files. Read on for the nitty-gritty details.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://cloud.astropotamus.com. This website is presented by AstropotaMedia, which sounds like a big corporate name but is really just one person consolidating everything under one umbrella to make it easier to manage the business. Use of this service is covered under the Astropotamus privacy terms, except as listed herein. This service is called AstropotaCloud.

Agreement to These Terms

By using this site, the services available at this site, and any service, software, application, or program created by AstropotaCloud, Astropotamus or AstropotaMedia, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions governing your use of AstropotaMedia online services, including any offline components (collectively, the "service"). If you are entering in to this agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to these terms and conditions, in which case the terms "you" or "your" shall refer to such entity. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with theses terms and conditions, you must select the "i decline" button and may not use the service.

Basic Account Definition

AstropotaCloud offers a basic account completely free of charge. AstropotaCloud provides these accounts with a minimum of 5GB of storage. AstropotaCloud reserves the right to terminate Basic accounts any time. Basic accounts are subject to termination, with or without prior notice. AstropotaCloud may remove, without notice, any or all data stored in a Basic account if the account has been inactive for 90 days and/or violates AstropotaCloud's User Conduct Policy. Basic accounts are limited to one account per person. Basic accounts that are found to be registered from a proxy server are not permitted and may be deleted at any time without notice.
