You acknowledge that any suggestions, comments, or other feedback that you provide to ConvertBox with respect to the Site, the Services, or any other ConvertBox product or service (collectively, “Feedback”) will be owned by ConvertBox, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein, and will be and become ConvertBox’ Confidential Information (as defined below).

Fair Use

To prevent the negative effects of excessive network load on your user experience or that of others, accounts with large or unlimited plans are monitored in accordance with our Fair Use policy. When we determine the scope of Fair Use we take into account your usage over an extended period of time compared to others, the features used and the impact on our overall network.

If we detect a situation that we deem in breach of our Fair Use policy, ConvertBox will contact you via your registered account email to discuss the situation and potential options. Where possible we will offer guidance to help you reduce your network load. In some situations, we may intervene by placing a limit on your account to ensure we maintain an optimal user experience for all customers across the network.

In some circumstances technical advances mean that we are unable to provide account holders specific features without some limits in place to prevent excessive network load.

Term, Termination and Effect of Termination

These Terms will apply to you starting on the Effective Date, and will continue for as long as you are accessing or using the Site or the Services.

We can terminate any ConvertBox account that you have access to, for any reason and without liability, by providing notice to you that we intend to terminate your Plan within a period of 30 days.

When these Terms terminate or expire: (i) you will no longer have the right to use or access the Site or the Services as of the date of termination/expiration; (ii) if you owed us any fees prior to such termination/expiration, you will pay those fees immediately; and (iii) each of us will promptly return to the other (or, if the other party requests it, destroy) all Confidential Information belonging to the other.

The restrictions set forth in this Section will not apply with respect to any Confidential Information that: (i) was or becomes publicly known through no fault of the receiving party; (ii) was rightfully known or becomes rightfully known to the receiving party without confidential or proprietary restriction from a source other than the disclosing party who has a right to disclose it; (iii) is approved by the disclosing party for disclosure without restriction in a written document which is signed by a duly authorized officer of such disclosing party; or (iv) the receiving party independently develops without access to or use of the other party’s Confidential Information.
