1. General
Our Services include virtual private network (VPN) services, which enhance internet security and privacy.
In order to use some of the Services, you will be asked to 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.
We do not log or store any records of your activity using our Services. However, if you choose to create a user account, you will be required to provide basic information, such as an email address and password. If you want to subscribe to the paid Services through our Websites, you will need to provide certain additional information, such as billing information and country/address. You must maintain and update this information current, truthful, complete, and accurate. You warrant that you are authorized to provide such information. You authorize us to verify your information at any time. If it is found to be untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we retain the right, at our sole discretion, to suspend or terminate your user account and your access to the Services.
