Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") set forth the terms and conditions that apply to your use of FTP Hosting's sites, platforms, and services (collectively, "Service"). The Service is operated and offered by Orange Platform LLC, including its affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, and assigns ("FTP Hosting", "We"). As used herein, "you" and "your" refer to you and the entity you represent. By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge and agree to comply with this Terms of Service and are authorized and capable with undertaking the obligations contained herein.

1. FTP Hosting Accounts

All of your registration, contact, and billing information must be correct and current. You are solely responsible for keeping such information correct and current.

You are the only person allowed to access and use the username and password associated with your FTP Hosting account. You agree not to allow anyone else to use your account or password, and to take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized persons from learning your password and API keys. Administrators may create separate user accounts within each FTP Hosting subscription to provide other people access. You shall notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of or activity on your account or of any other breach of security relating to the Service that is known or suspected by you.

You affirm that you and any and all users on your account are either 18 years of age or older, and are fully able and competent to enter into and abide by the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations, and warranties set forth in these Terms of Service.

2. Billing

The main method of payment accepted for paid accounts is placing a credit card number or linked PayPal account on file. Currently, we accept VISA, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and PayPal. You agree to pay all charges in accordance with any cardmember agreement governing the use of your credit card.

The following additional payment methods are supported if you are pre-paying in advance for 12 months of service:

  • Mailed Check (US Dollars only)
  • ACH transfer (US Dollars only)
  • SEPA transfer (Euro only)
  • FPS (UK/GB Pound Sterling only)

FTP Hosting reserves the right to change the price or features of all services upon 30 days notice. Such notice will be provided by email and/or through the Service. If such a change takes place and you choose not to discontinue or downgrade your account, you will be responsible for the payment of your account at the new rate.

All invoices are due net 30, except for credit card payments, which are due upon receipt. Failure to pay any charges may result in the suspension or cancellation of your account.

Invoices are sent to the email on file.

Account prices are billed exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for any such tax, levy, or duty associated with your use of the Service.

FTP Hosting is required to collect sales tax in certain USA states that tax the type of services we provide and where we also meet certain sales thresholds or have a physical presence. The list of states we collect sales tax from may change as FTP Hosting grows and gains additional sales tax nexus, or if states change their laws that determine nexus. If your primary billing address is in a state where FTP Hosting is required to collect sales tax, we will add the appropriate sales tax to your invoice and collect sales tax.

Customers on qualifying plans who pay annually may request FTP Hosting to submit invoices via a third party vendor. Each such request will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and FTP Hosting may decline to use, or stop using, any such a third party vendor for any reason at any time. You will be responsible for any fees or expenses incurred by FTP Hosting in connection with such a third party vendor, and FTP Hosting may invoice you or use any payment method on file to recoup such fees and/or expenses. Additionally, such a third party vendor's terms and conditions shall in no way supersede these Terms of Service.

3. Auto-Renewal

Accounts are billed in advance for the selected term and subscriptions will automatically renew until they are cancelled.

For customers on a monthly term:
Accounts on monthly terms will be charged every 30 days, starting with the first day of paid service ("Service Date"). The charges will be for the monthly fee for the upcoming Usage Period (as defined below) and any Usage charges and/or any increase in the number of Billable users (as defined below) from the previous Usage Period beyond what was included in your agreement. Invoices are automatically charged to the payment method on file.

For customers on an annual term:
Accounts on annual terms will be sent an invoice for the annual fee once every 360 days, starting with the first day of paid service ("Service Date"). If there are any Usage Charges for a Usage Period (as defined below), or an increase in the number of Billable users (as defined below) beyond what is included in your agreement, an invoice will be sent at the end of that Usage Period for the Usage and/or additional Billable users. All invoices are due upon receipt, and will be automatically charged if there is a payment method on file.

4. Overages

If you go over the usage, user, or API call limit of your plan, you may be required to upgrade to a higher plan to continue using the Service.

5. Cancellation and Refund Policy

You may cancel your account at any time. For security purposes, we do NOT accept cancellation notices via phone or email. Upon cancellation, your data will be removed from the system within 7 days, and there is no mechanism for restoring data once it is removed from the system.

If you are on an annual or multi-year term, you are obligated to pay for the entire term even if you cancel early, except if you are a new customer as provided in this Section.

Refunds for any reason (including SLA credits) will not be granted if they are requested more than 30 days after account cancellation.

No refund will be given in any instance if FTP Hosting determines, in its sole and reasonable discretion, that you or any user on your account breached any part of these Terms of Service.

Without limiting the foregoing, FTP Hosting does not claim any ownership of any materials stored or transferred by you on the Service. Your stuff is your stuff.

Without limiting the foregoing, we may use the name and marks of your company and screenshots from your website in the advertising, marketing, and promotion of FTP Hosting.

10. Dispute Resolution and Jurisdiction

FTP Hosting wants to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against FTP Hosting, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting legal@smartfile.com. FTP Hosting will try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you via email. If a dispute is not resolved within 30 days of submission, you or FTP Hosting may bring a formal proceeding.

Any dispute arising under these Terms of Service that is not resolved informally as outlined above, will be subject to binding arbitration by a single arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association (AAA), in accordance with its relevant industry rules, if any. The parties agree that this Agreement will be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of Delaware. The arbitration will be held in Delaware, United States. The Arbitrator will have the authority to grant injunctive relief and specific performance to enforce the terms of this Agreement. Judgment on any award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and we agree that any Dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, collective, or representative action. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you further agree that you will not be a member of any putative or actual class in a class action brought by anyone else, nor will you seek to become a class representative. If any portion of this paragraph is found to be void or unenforceable as to a particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) shall be resolved in federal court rather than in arbitration; if there is no federal jurisdiction, the case shall be resolved in Delaware state court.

In the event that you are able to sufficiently demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, FTP Hosting may, but is not obligated to, mutually agree to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, in person in the county where you live, or at another mutually agreed location.

Any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to the Service must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises or it will be barred forever. Notwithstanding the other provisions in this section, if we have a reasonable basis to believe that you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate any of our intellectual property rights, we may bring suit in any state or federal court in the state of Delaware, rather than through arbitration. In such instances, you agree that you will submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the state of Delaware.

FTP Hosting may provide hyperlinks to third-party web sites as a convenience to users and visitors of the Service.
