These terms of service (“Terms”) cover your use and access to our services, software and website (collectively referred to as ”Services”). The Services are provided by Tefincom S.A.

NordLocker may modify the Terms from time to time. We will post a notice on our website any time these Terms have been amended or updated substantially. The amendment of Terms may also be communicated to you by sending an email. The Terms are binding from the time that they are updated on our website. It is your responsibility to check and read current Terms periodically.

Our services

NordLocker encrypts your files to protect them from hacking, snooping, data breaches, or other cyber threats out there. Files can only be accessed with your master password. No prying eyes.

In order to use our Services, you must set up an account. You are solely responsible for all usage or activity on your account including, but not limited to, use of the account by any person who uses your account, with or without authorization, or who has access to any computer on which your account resides or is accessible.

Your use of the Services is at your own risk. The Services may be modified, updated, interrupted or suspended at any time without notice or liability. We do not bear any liability for any harm or other adverse consequences to you, caused by this. NordLocker, its owners, employees, agents and others that are involved with the Services are not in any way or form liable for any harm of any kind executed or not executed, resulting from or arising through or from the use of any account registered with Services.

NordLocker guarantees a 99.9% service uptime. In any event, NordLocker shall not be liable for any loss, monetary or non-monetary harm beyond what the client paid to NordLocker, and this shall not include attorney fees or court costs irrespective of any laws or statutes that prescribe otherwise.

NordLocker collects and processes very limited user data. Further information about user data processing is provided in the Privacy Policy.

License conditions

Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, license to: (1) download and use a copy of the NordLocker software; and (2) use the Services, including, without limitation, the products and services made available on or through the NordLocker software or our website. No other right or license of any kind is granted to you hereunder with respect to the Services. The license provided herein is effective until terminated. This license automatically terminates if you fail to comply with these Terms.

The Services, including, but not limited to, the NordLocker software, mobile application and all other items, are owned and copyrighted by NordLocker, and are protected worldwide. We retain all right, title and interest in and to the Services and any portion thereof, including, without limitation, all copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights. You shall not take any action to jeopardize, limit or interfere in any manner with our ownership of and rights with respect to the Services. All rights are reserved unless otherwise noted.

Payments

The NordLocker app for any platform or operating system supported by NordLocker can be downloaded free of charge. NordLocker provides the Services for free (Free version) and on a payment basis (Premium version). Please note that Free version of NordLocker has limited functionality – it allows users to only view encrypted files.

Premium version users enjoying the full functionality of Services will be able to encrypt new files and share them with other users. Premium NordLocker Services are subscribed on a service period basis. You choose the service period and the payment method yourself when you sign up for the Services. Your service will automatically be renewed, and your chosen payment method will be charged at the end of each service period, repeating the length of the previous service period, unless you decide to cancel your subscription for the Services.

Refund policy

If you wish to claim a refund, you can do so within 30 days following your purchase of NordLocker Service. We seek your full satisfaction with our services. However, we would like to troubleshoot an issue you experience first. There are common service configuration issues that may hinder the Service for you and we resolve most of user issues encountered.

Subscriptions purchased via the iTunes/App Store are subject to iTunes/App Store refund policies. This means we cannot grant refunds if you purchased an app through iTunes/App Store – you will have to contact store support for that. Payments made using prepaid cards or gift cards will not be refunded. For payments made in cryptocurrency, the equivalent amount in US Dollars will be refunded in the same cryptocurrency (based on the rate of exchange at the moment of refund).

You have a right to cancel your account at any time. You can cancel a recurring subscription from your website profile, iTunes/App Store or Google Play Store. Cancelled accounts will not be refunded for the unused part of the ongoing service period.

NordLocker reserves the right to suspend or refuse service to anyone at any time for any reason. No refunds will be considered for accounts terminated for violation of these Terms.

NordLocker is not directed to minors, and any use by minors should only be done with the guidance, supervision and consent of their parents or guardians. Further, we rely on parents and guardians to ensure minors only use the Service if they can understand their rights and responsibilities as stated in these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

If we learn that we have inadvertently obtained information in violation of applicable laws prohibiting collection of information from children without such consent, we will promptly delete it.
