MyDocSafe Terms of Service

Last Modified: 31/01/2024

Thank you for using MyDocSafe! These terms of service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of MyDocSafe (“we” or “our”) websites and services (the “Services”), so please read them carefeully before using the Services. MyDocSafe is the trading name of DocSafe Limited.

By using the Services you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organisation, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organisation and also promising that you have the authority to bind that organisation to these terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that organisation.

You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms. You may use the Services only if you have the power to form a contract with MyDocSafe and are not barred under any applicable laws from doing so. The Services change over time as we plan to refine and add more features. We may stop, suspend, or modify the Services at any time without prior notice to you. We may also remove any content from our Services at our discretion.

Your Stuff & Your Privacy
By using our Services you provide us with information, files, and folders that you submit to MyDocSafe (together, “your stuff”). You retain full ownership to your stuff and we don’t claim any ownership to any of it. These Terms do not grant us any rights to your stuff or intellectual property except for the limited rights that are needed to run the Services, as explained below.

We may need your permission to do things you ask us to do with your stuff, for example, hosting your files, or sharing them at your direction. This includes product features visible to you, for example, image thumbnails or document previews. It also includes design choices we make to technically administer our Services, for example, how we redundantly backup data to keep it safe. You give us the permissions we need to do those things solely to provide the Services. This permission also extends to trusted third parties we work with to provide the Services (again, only to provide the Services).

To be clear, aside from the rare exceptions we identify in our Privacy Policy, no matter how the Services change, we won’t share your stuff with others, including regulatory authorities, for any purpose unless you direct us to, unless we are required to do so by law or court order. How we collect and use your information generally is also explained in our Privacy Policy.

You are solely responsible for your conduct, the content of your files and folders, and your communications with others while using the Services. For example, it’s your responsibility to ensure that you have the rights or permission needed to comply with your obligations under these Terms.

We may choose to review public content to check for compliance with our community guidelines, do not accept an obligation to do so.  We are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, appropriateness, or legality of files, user posts, or any other information you may be able to access using the Services.

Sharing Your Stuff

We provide features that allow you to share your stuff with others or to make it public (or to copy it, modify it, or re-share it). Please consider carefully what you choose to share or make public. MyDocSafe has no responsibility for your activity.

Your Responsibilities

Files and other content in the Services may be protected by intellectual property rights of others. Please do not copy, upload, download, or share files unless you have the right to do so.

You must not upload spyware or any other malicious software to the Service. You, and not MyDocSafe, are responsible for maintaining and protecting all of your stuff. MyDocSafe will not be liable for any loss or corruption of your stuff, or for any costs or expenses associated with backing up or restoring any of your stuff.

  • Month-to-month

Should you cancel after your free trial, your payment is non-refundable and your service will continue until the end of that month’s billing period.  Cancellations can be made any time by contacting MyDocSafe.  After your subscription expires the account will be suspended for 30 days and after that it will be permanently deleted.
