The following terms and conditions govern all use of the Fileverse website (“Fileverse” or the “Website”), and all content, services and products available at or through the Website. The Services are offered subject to your acceptance without modification of all of the terms and conditions contained herein. As all data uploaded to Fileverse will be available via IPFS, the Services are also subject to the Terms of Service of IPFS.io and Privacy Policy of IPFS.io and Terms of Service of Pinata.cloud which is the service used for file pinning.
If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this agreement (“Agreement” or “TOS”), then you may not access the Website or use any of the Services.
Fileverse Ltd. (“we” “us”) may make changes to this Agreement and pricing from time to time. If you do not agree to these revisions, you may stop using the Services.
Storage term
Data stored via the Services will be available via IPFS and stored on Filecoin until the expiry of the respective deals (see “Filecoin deals” below for details). Fileverse uses pinata.cloud for all file pinning services.
We reserve the right to terminate the Services at our sole discretion or to transfer operation of the Services to a third party or smart contract. Prior to termination or transfer, we will provide 90 days’ notice to users via email to allow users enough time to make arrangements if any (e.g. remote pinning to their own IPFS node, remote pinning to another service, or preparing to manage the renewal of their Filecoin deals on their own).
In rare situations where exceptionally high read/write volume and/or excessive number of uploaded blocks has an adverse impact on other users’ service levels, we reserve the right to block access to those CIDs and/or block uploads without notice. To the extent possible, we will attempt to give notice to users whose uploaded CIDs are negatively impacting service levels before blocking access to CIDs.
All data uploaded to Fileverse is available to anyone who requests it using the correct CID. Users should not store any private or sensitive information in an unencrypted form using Fileverse. Further, deleting files from Fileverse via the website will remove them from the file listing for a user account, but nodes on the IPFS network may retain copies of the data indefinitely. While users can encrypt data before uploading it to IPFS via Fileverse, thus rendering the data private, they should not use Fileverse to store data that may need to be permanently deleted in the future.
Filecoin deals
Data stored via Fileverse will be available and persisted via IPFS upon completion of a successful upload as per pinata.cloud’s Terms and Conditions. Data stored via pinata.cloud is also pushed to storage on Filecoin, where the data is batched into deals. There may be a delay between content being uploaded via the Services and being stored on Filecoin through a deal.
Fileverse uses pinata.cloud to manage backup storage deals and deal renewals to ensure highly redundant storage on the Filecoin network.
