Please read carefully and fully understand this Agreement prior to using Foscam Cloud Service. If you cannot accept all of the terms hereof, please do not register for, log in, or use Foscam Cloud Service. By registering for, logging in, and using Foscam Cloud Service, you agree to be subjected to all of the terms hereof.

This Agreement is made between you (“the User”) and Foscam regarding registration for, logging in, and using Foscam Cloud Service. This Agreement shall set forth the rights and obligations between Foscam and the User with respect to Foscam Cloud Service. The User refers to the entity or individual who registers for, logs in, and uses this Agreement.

This Agreement may be subject to any updates by Foscam at any time, and the terms of the updated Agreement shall supersede those of the original Agreement upon publication, without prior notice from Foscam. The User may refer to the latest version of the Agreement at www.myfoscam.com. The User who does not accept the modified Agreement may stop using Foscam Cloud Service.

1. Introduction to Foscam Cloud Service

Foscam Cloud Service is a platform that provides video viewing services for the User and does not directly generate any content itself. After registration, the User can access their monitoring devices on this platform, and can view real-time videos or historical ones at the corresponding locations that have been connected to the monitoring devices. The User can add or remove the monitoring equipment they access as per their own needs, and such equipment and costs associated with the Service shall be the responsibility of the User.

2. Notes for use

2.1 Account registration

2.1.1The User can sign up at www.myfoscam.com for Foscam Cloud Service provided by Foscam. When applying to use the Service, the User must provide Foscam with accurate personal or organizational information (including but not limited to username, password, email address, cell phone number, etc.) The username and password shall be set by the User. After a successful application, the User can log in and use the Service.

2.1.2 The information that the User provides shall be true and accurate, and Foscam shall not be responsible for the User not being able to use the Service arising from the User’s information being incorrectly provided; if the User’s account information changes, they must update and maintain their registration information in a timely manner so that it is always up-to-date, complete, and accurate.

2.2 Account activation

2.2.1 Given that the provision of this Service requires the combination of terminal equipment provided by Foscam such as webcams, registered accounts can only be activated once the corresponding equipment is activated. If an account is not enabled within 30 days of the date of registration, Foscam reserves the right to write it off.

2.3 Account security

2.3.1 The User shall be responsible for all actions taken with their account, whether or not such actions have been authorized, and the results therefrom shall be directly attributable to the User, and Foscam shall not be responsible for them.

2.3.2 The User shall be responsible for upholding the security of their account information, such as accounts and passwords, and Foscam shall not be responsible for any illegal use of their accounts and passwords by others due to the User's own reasons. The User’s own reasons include but are not limited to: disclosing their accounts, passwords, and other registration information to any third party; sharing the same account with more than one person; installing illegal and unknown programs; and others. The User should notify Foscam without delay of any illegal use of their accounts that they discover.

2.3.3 If it is discovered that the account user is not the account registrant, Foscam has the right to temporarily block the account without any providing notice to the registrant. Foscam shall not be liable to the account registrant or the User for blocking the account, and the User shall be responsible for the consequences arising from the account being blocked, inability to access information, loss of video data, etc. If the User discovers that someone else is illegally using their account to access the Service, they should notify Foscam without delay so that the account can be blocked.

2.3.4 If the User discovers that they have lost or forgotten their password, they can apply for password retrieval through their registered username and cell phone number. Foscam's password retrieval mechanism cannot identify whether the person using the cell phone number is the real account registrant, and therefore it shall not be responsible for any losses caused by someone else’s impersonation to apply for the account and password retrieval. Foscam does not guarantee that the User can successfully retrieve their password by using their registered username and cell phone number in the event that they have lost or forgotten their passwords.
