This Membership Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions on which CameraFTP (a Division of Drive Headquarters, Inc., herein as "CameraFTP, "DriveHQ", or "We") offers products and services to registered users ("Member", "You" or "User") of CameraFTP Cloud Surveillance & Storage Service.

PLEASE READ THIS MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE REGISTERING TO BECOME A MEMBER. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT IN ORDER TO BECOME A MEMBER.

1. Terms
The Membership Agreement is comprised of:
(a) All terms and conditions set forth herein;
(b) All operating rules and policies that are published on the Site from time to time;
(c) Legal notices and trademarks;
(d) The CameraFTP Privacy Policy.
In light of the evolving nature of cloud-based services, CameraFTP may post a notice on the Site, or broadcast messages through the Service, to inform you of changes to this Membership Agreement, the Service, or other matters of importance. Such posting or broadcast will constitute notice to you. Any amendment to the Membership Agreement shall be effective upon posting of the notice, or broadcast of the message. Your continued use of the Service after such notice or broadcast will reaffirm your agreement to be bound and to abide by this Membership Agreement as amended.

2. The Service
The term "Service" includes all functionality made available by CameraFTP on or through the Site. CameraFTP mainly offers cloud-based storage space for IP cameras and other security devices. CameraFTP may add to, delete from, or modify the Service. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new products, services, information, software or other features that augment or enhances the current Service, will be subject to this Membership Agreement.

3. Membership Requirements
In order to use the Service, you must be over the age of 13. You must first register as a Member. You agree to provide accurate information, as prompted by the registration form, including an accurate email address where you can be contacted. Each Member is allowed to have only one Membership. Membership is intended for personal or business use and is non-transferable. You must choose a password. You are responsible for any activity that occurs under your user ID. You agree to immediately notify CameraFTP of any unauthorized use of your user ID or other breach of security in relation to the Service. You may use the Service only for legitimate personal or business use.

4. Hardware and Bandwidth Requirements
Cloud surveillance and storage service requires at least one surveillance device. CameraFTP supports the FTP protocol and FTP over SSL. Most IP cameras are compatible with our service. It is Members' own responsibility to obtain a compatible IP camera or other surveillance device. Members may also use our Mobile Security Camera app or Virtual Security System software as an IP camera.

Uploading IP camera images or video clips to the cloud may require a lot of network bandwidth. High-speed Internet connection is required to use our service. Members must make sure to have enough bandwidth, esp. the upload bandwidth.

If you use Wi-Fi, you also need to make sure that all devices are within the Wi-Fi range and your Wi-Fi network is not congested. If you must place a camera in a location that is out of the Wi-Fi range, you can connect the camera to the router using an Ethernet cable, or a Wi-Fi range extender may also work.

CameraFTP shall not be responsible for any service issues caused by your own devices, your local network or not having enough network bandwidth.

5. Private Cameras; Shared or Published Cameras

"A Camera" is a folder on CameraFTP.com that contains the recorded data of your camera. "A Private Camera" is a folder on CameraFTP.com that you have not shared or published to other users. To access recorded data in a Member's private camera, the Member must log on with his/her CameraFTP username and password.

"A Shared or Published Camera" is a folder on CameraFTP.com that a Member has shared to certain people or published for everyone to access.

If you share or publish a camera, you must ensure that all recorded contents are appropriate for sharing or publishing. Additional download bytes might be required if you have a lot of users viewing your cameras or download the recorded data.

You agree not to transmit, upload, display, publish or distribute through any part of the Site, any camera data that:

(a) Contains scenes that you don't have complete right to monitor or record;

(b) Interferes with the privacy rights of any person, or impersonates any person;

(c) Uses materials of others that are protected by copyright, trademark or trade secrets, patent or other intellectual property law without the express permission of the author or owner;

(d) Violates anyone's copyright, moral rights, author's rights, trade secrets, trademark rights, patent, or other intellectual property or other rights;

6. Price and Payment
CameraFTP service price is dependent on the following parameters: (a) Recording type: Image recording or video recording; (b) Image / video resolution; (c) Retention days; (d) Motion-triggered recording or continuous recording; (e) Number of camera licenses. "Number of camera licenses" means the number of cameras that can be configured to upload data to CameraFTP servers.

After you order a subscription, please make sure your cameras are configured not to exceed the parameters of the order.

CameraFTP service is billed monthly or annually. If you ordered a subscription or multiple subscriptions, you are responsible to make service payments on time. CameraFTP offers 15-day grace period. If your account is past due for over 15 days, CameraFTP may apply a late fee of $10, or 1 month of your service fee, whichever is smaller. CameraFTP may also limit your service features.

In order to avoid service disruption, it is recommended using Automatic Debiting.

7. Service Upgrade, Downgrade, Cancelation and Refund Policy
CameraFTP offers free trial service or limited free service to Members. CameraFTP does not offer any technical support after free trial service expires. Free trial service or free service is limited to one camera license only. Users should try the free service first before ordering a subscription. CameraFTP does not offer refunds after a charge has been applied. Based on the circumstance, CameraFTP may offer service credits that can be used on both CameraFTP.com and DriveHQ.com.

If you need more camera licenses or need to configure cameras with higher parameters, you can order a new subscription. If you want to Upgrade / Downgrade an existing subscription, you can do so by logging on to www.CameraFTP.com. From the Subscribe page, click "Current Subscriptions" to see a list of subscription plans. You can select a plan to upgrade or downgrade. (Note the steps may change in the future)

To cancel a subscription, you can select a plan in the "Current Subscriptions" page, then click Cancel to cancel it. You must ensure that you have deleted your cameras online and that your cameras are re-configured not to connect to CameraFTP cloud servers. Otherwise, your cameras will still use CameraFTP server resources and your cancelation is not considered complete.

You shall cancel a subscription by yourself; CameraFTP support staff cannot help because you must delete your cameras and the recorded files, and reconfigure your cameras not to connect to CameraFTP servers.

8. Billing
CameraFTP service is billed monthly or annually. Ordering annual service may save you two months of service fees per year in some cases.

Ordering a new subscription does not automatically cancel an old subscription. The new subscription will be added to your existing subscriptions, and you will be charged for each subscription. You can cancel your old subscriptions online at any time.

Your monthly billing date is the day of month when you signed up a free account. Your billing date will not change regardless of the number of orders, cancelations or upgrades. If a subscription is not ordered on your billing date, then your first billing date will be in less than one month. CameraFTP will automatically apply a partial-month credit so you will not be overcharged.

To avoid service disruption, we recommend using Automatic Debiting. CameraFTP supports major credit cards and PayPal. We also support checks, bank wires and ACH if the payment amount is over $100.
