We advise frequent changes to the Account password for better security. However, no password-protected system can be made entirely impenetrable. Accordingly, you hereby acknowledge that it may be possible for an unauthorized third party to access Your Account. The automated forget password option works on the assumption that only the account holder has access to the email address on record. In case the user does not have access to the email address, other means of verification may be used including billing/credit card information to verify identity.

6. Use of IP Addresses

We may collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and/or to audit the use of our site. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our policies, Terms, or to protect our Service, site, customers, or others. Some services, such as user logs and registration emails, may also display IP addresses.

7. Billing

Automatic Renewal - Paid Plans

In exchange for use of the Services, you authorize a recurring monthly or annual charge to your credit card/PayPal account. The recurring charge will be at the published standard plan that is chosen at the time of sign-up or to a customized quote provided for your specific use. You also agree that the enrollment for the next service period is automatic and paid in advance.

We reserve the right to change our subscription plans or adjust pricing for our service or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Use, any price changes or changes to your subscription plan will take effect following notice to you.

Please note that we may automatically receive updated credit card information from our merchants from time to time in cases where your account is issued a new card number or your credit card expires. However, we still advise you update your card manually from your account screen when changes to your account information occur. We need a credit card/PayPal account on file while the account is active.

If we are unable to execute any applicable charges due to credit card/PayPal denial or for any other reason, you will be notified via email. In case of non-action by the user, the account may be canceled. We may delay Account cancellation related to non-payment for the Services and provide a grace period of up to thirty (30) days from the due date to allow for the customer to arrange payment.

Free Accounts

We may offer the Consumer plan as free for personal/private, non-commercial use for select geographic locations. You can access up to 10 remote computers with free accounts.

We reserve the right to terminate free accounts at any time, with or without issuing a notice. Without limiting the foregoing, if a free account is inactive for ninety (90) days, then we reserve the right to terminate the account without any additional notice. An inactive account is an account where no login has occurred either automatically or manually for a specified period of time.

Trial period

We may offer a free trial period for RemotePC Team and Enterprise plans, and RemotePC™ HelpDesk. You do not need to provide your credit card details during signup. You can upgrade your account anytime during the trial period by updating the credit card/PayPal account details and continue using RemotePC services.

Overuse charges

RemotePC paid accounts are allowed to enable additional computers, beyond the chosen plan's computer limit for remote access. This is designed to allow uninterrupted remote access to computers as needed. You are liable to be charged for any overuse, above your subscribed plan, by you, your users or your attendees. Overuse charges will be billed to your credit card. Overuse charges are at $20 per computer per year for any additional use and are charged in full and are applicable for the current subscription period.

Taxes

You're responsible for all applicable taxes, and we’ll charge tax when required to do so. RemotePC^™ can rely on the name and address you provide to RemotePC^™ as being the place of supply for sales tax, income tax, VAT, and GST purposes.

Discrepancies

Your right to raise a billing discrepancy and any associated recovery is waived unless reported to us by calling our customer support line or emailing us at support@remotepc.com within thirty (30) calendar days after such discrepancy is charged to your credit card/PayPal account.

Cancellation & Refunds

You must cancel your Account before it renews each month or year in order to avoid a charge for the next month's or year's fees to your credit card/PayPal account. Please note on cancellation, refunds are issued if account is canceled within fifteen (15) days of its creation date. After 15 days, pro-rated refunds are issued on a case-by-case basis subject to eligibility. We will not issue any pro-rated refunds for the remaining period of a month when an account with a monthly subscription plan ("current plan") is downgraded to a smaller plan ("new plan") (a plan that costs less per month than the current plan) during the middle of the month. However, the rate applicable to the new plan will automatically be charged starting the first of the subsequent month.
