This Agreement governs your use of the NAS Backup Service or Synology Backup Service (“Service”).

 Privacy and Communications
By entering into this Agreement, you agree to ENEM’s collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Data in accordance with the ENEM Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

 Accounts, Passwords, and Security
You must be a registered user to access the Service. You are responsible for keeping your password secure. You will be solely responsible and liable for any activity that occurs under your user name. If you lose your password or the encryption key for your account, you may not be able to access your data. You must notify ENEM immediately of any unauthorised use of your account or any other breach of security regarding the Service or the Website that comes to your attention. If ENEM concludes that there has been or is likely to be a breach of username or password security ENEM may (at its sole discretion):

  • (a) suspend your username(s) and passwords; and
  • (b) require you to change any or all of the username(s) and/or password(s) you use in connection with the Service.

 

Ordering Process
When you use the ENEM website (located at https://www.synologybackup.com) (the “Website”) to request provision of the Service, this is an offer by you to pay ENEM to provide the Service to you. Your offer is subject to ENEM’s acceptance. ENEM’s acceptance of your offer and the contract between us for the provision of, and payment for, the Service will be formed only when the applicable initial payment for the Service has been successfully processed. You agree that as soon as your payment has been successfully processed we will commence making the Service available to you.

 

Payment
The fees payable for the Service are as set out on the Website at: https://www.synologybackup.com/pricing/ at the time ENEM enters into this Agreement, and may be modified in accordance with its terms. While ENEM tries hard to ensure that all prices displayed on the Website are correct and up to date at the time you request the Service, it is possible that an occasional mistake may be made. ENEM may refuse any order or cancel any contract between us in respect of the Service and/or your access to any data, information, material, software or any other item or service which has been obviously incorrectly priced or where some other clear error has been made. All prices are inclusive of all sales and other taxes unless otherwise stated.

You must make the appropriate payment by credit or debit card or other payment mechanism approved by ENEM and made available through the Website and provide ENEM and/or our payment service providers with the necessary information for your payment to be processed. You confirm that the payment card or account used by you is yours or that you are authorized to use such card or account and there are sufficient funds or credit facilities to cover the payment.

You will be given the opportunity to correct any input errors in your payment details prior to completing your purchase request.

You may not be able to access or use the Service and/or the Software or other items or services, and orders for items or services made available through the Website may not be processed, until ENEM has completed any validation checks described below and ENEM has received payment in full.

 

Validation Checks
All credit/debit card and other payment service transactions may be subject to validation checks and authorisation by the relevant card and service providers. If your card issuer/payment service provider refuses to authorise payment to ENEM, we will not be liable for any delay or non-acceptance of orders made by you through the Website.

We reserve the right to require proof of identification and age before processing any order made through the Website.
