twenty (30) days or more, Bigupload may (in its own discretion) remove and/or
purge user's data and account from the system. At its own discretion, Bigupload
may make at least two attempts, at least fifteen (15) days prior to deletion,
to alert user of the pending deletion via his/her provided e-mail address.
User agrees and acknowledges that no other notification is necessary and that
e-mail provides an entirely adequate, sufficient, and complete means by which
notice may be given user by Bigupload. If user does not respond to Bigupload, Bigupload
will deem the account abandoned and user's data may be immediately purged
from the system. Bigupload advises users to please keep their accounts and contact
data current and in use or they will be purged.
While Bigupload endeavors to prevent viable accounts and data from being purged
prematurely, Bigupload is under no obligation to maintain abandoned accounts.
User agrees that lack of activity for one hundred and twenty (30) days or
more conclusively indicates that user's account is abandoned and that all
data associated with the account may be deleted and/or purged.
Payment of Fees.
Bigupload offers its Service, as described on the Bigupload website (www.Bigupload.com)
and as published within the Service, for monthly or annual fees (the "Fees")
which you will pay to Bigupload by authorized credit card. The Fees applicable
for the Service are available at www.Bigupload.com and as published within the
Service. Bigupload reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges
and to institute new charges at any time, upon thirty (30) days prior notice
to you (which may be sent by email). Your authorized credit card will automatically
be charged Fees on the day you sign up for the Service, or the expiration
of the initial trial period, if any, whichever is later. Thereafter, the Fees
will automatically be charged to your authorized credit card, in advance,
on the date of the month the Service was initially charged. In the event you
cancel the Service, Bigupload will not refund any Fees already paid by you.
Your Bigupload account will be considered delinquent if your credit card company
refuses for any reason to pay the amount billed to it and that amount remains
unpaid at the beginning of the next accounting cycle. The Service may be suspended,
archived or purged from system if account is delinquent for more than one
billing cycle. Bigupload may impose a charge to restore archived data from delinquent
accounts.
If you believe Bigupload has billed you incorrectly, you must contact Bigupload
no later than 60 days after the closing date on the first billing statement
in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment
or credit. Inquiries should be directed to Bigupload's Customer Support department
(Contact Us).
Bigupload may choose to bill through an invoice, in which case, full payment
for invoices issued in any given month must be received by Bigupload thirty (30)
days after the mailing date of the invoice, or the Service may be terminated.
Unpaid invoices are subject to interest of 1.5% per month on any outstanding
balance, or the maximum permitted by law, plus all expenses of collection.
Please remember that Bigupload bills you immediately for the extra space you
order. You will initially be charged a pro-rated charge for the upgrade based
on the number of days left until your regular billing date. Subsequently,
you will be billed for all subscription charges on the normal billing date
for your account. If you choose to cancel the extra space after your card
has been billed for the month, you will not be reimbursed for the days you
did not use the extra space.
