Differentiation of Site Functionality

A user may use File.ceo through registering and activating an account or without registering and activating an account. File.ceo makes differentiation in the functionality of File.ceo for users depending on whether they have registered and activated an account on the site. Users who have not registered and activated an account in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of Use may use the service as an anonymous user (without permanent designation reserved for them). Users who have not registered and activated an account in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of Use may not upload private files to the Site or download files exceeding 500MB in size. Users who have registered and activated an account in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of Use may in particular administer their files and folders, download files exceeding 500MB in size subject to sec. 5, point 1 of the Terms and Conditions of Use, or use the Site in any other manner. The right to make other differentiation in Site functionality is reserved dependent on whether a user is a registered user with an active account (current information concerning this is available at www.File.ceo in the Site Functionality section).

Activation of an account should be performed within 7 days from the date on which a user is registered on the site. In the event of non-activation of an account within the aforementioned deadline, File.ceo reserves the right to delete the account.

Both provision of data necessary for registration on File.ceo and use of services available on File.ceo are voluntary.

After account activation, users may delete their File.ceo accounts by clicking on the "Delete Account #1 (without files - your files will stay on our servers till they expire)" or "Delete Account #2 (with files - your files will be permanently deleted alongside with your account)" link (under Main Menu >> Account Settings).

Data uploaded by a user shall be available on the site immediately after its upload by a user. File.ceo however stipulates that a delay is possible.

In the event of a user registering an account on File.ceo, the e-mail address given is used exclusively by File.ceo to:

- send the account password to the user at the e-mail address given (at the user’s request),- provide contact between File.ceo and the user in issues connected with File.ceo (in particular to notify the user of changes taking place on the Site, news etc.),

The user of a given account is responsible for all actions connected with use of the password to such account. In the event of a password being established for a defined file or folder, the user who uploaded the file or created the folder on the Site or created said password is responsible for all actions. In particular, the user is responsible for facilitating access to the password for a given account, file or folder to selected third parties. Making passwords to an account, file or folder available to anyone is prohibited. The password to an account, file or folder constitutes confidential information for the exclusive information of users. File.ceo suggests that users choose a password which cannot be guessed by other persons or computer programs.

Only one person (user – account creator) may use an account. Facilitation of access to the account to third parties is prohibited and constitutes violation of these Terms and Conditions of Use. In the event of such violation being discovered, File.ceo is authorised to block the user’s account.
