Our service plans are all for a fixed period of time (e.g. 1 month, 6 months, 12 months or 24 months) unless otherwise expressly provided. To ensure your computer and important files remain backed up, these terms will automatically renew 15 days before the end of your current service plan. This section explains this process in more detail to ensure that your files are backed up by MyPCBackup for as long as you want them to be!

Pricing, Billing and Payment

MyPCBackup offers a great range of service plans providing Services to suit everyone’s needs and at prices to suit everyone’s pockets.

All payments are taken, in advance, for the full term of your service plan (e.g., monthly, 6, 12 or 24 months).

Cancellation and Termination

IN ALL OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES, MYPCBACKUP OR ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, DISTRIBUTORS OR SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, OR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF (I) INTERRUPTION TO OR UNAVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICES; (II) BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE, WHICH MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH THE SERVICE BY ANY THIRD PARTY; (III) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF ANY CONTENT POSTED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE BACKED-UP, STORED OR MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE SERVICES, AND/OR (IV) THE DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR PRIVACY NOTICE, AND MYPCBACKUP’S LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH YOU, FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM (OR FOR ANY INITIAL TERM OR RENEWAL TERM OF MORE THAN 12 MONTHS, THE FEES PAID FOR THAT INITIAL TERM OR RENEWAL TERM).

    2. MyPCBackup will have no liability for delays or failures in the Services caused by your failure to comply with the requirements set out in Paragraph 3g (Compatibility with the MyPCBackup Software).

    3. The terms of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

  1. Governing Law and Arbitration for users outside of the European Union

    1. The laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts apply to this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or in connection with it or relating to your use of the Services.

    2. If a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement is brought for arbitration, it shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration conducted before a single arbitrator, chosen by MyPCBackup, pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules of the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and shall be administered by the AAA. The arbitration before the AAA shall proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this arbitration clause, but the arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. The arbitration will be held at the AAA location chosen by MyPCBackup in Massachusetts. In the event you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, MyPCBackup will pay as much of your filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is improper or not warranted, as measured by the standards set forth in the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), then the payment of arbitration costs shall be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse MyPCBackup for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator grants relief to you that is equal to or greater than the value of your demand, MyPCBackup shall reimburse you for your reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred for the arbitration.

  1. Governing Law and Jurisdiction for users in the European Union; Data Protection

    1. For users in the European Union, this Agreement, and any non-contractual obligations arising out of, or in relation to it, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales subject only to any mandatory provisions of consumer law in the country in which you reside. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods as well as any other similar law, regulation or statute in effect in any other jurisdiction shall not apply.

    2. You and MyPCBackup irrevocably agree that the courts of the country in which you reside shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter or formation.

    3. Alternatively, you may raise the dispute with an alternative dispute resolution body via the EU Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Platform.

    4. For the purposes of European Directive 95/46/EC, the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 ("GDPR") and any applicable national implementing laws in your jurisdiction, and with respect to any personal data you send or provide to us in any manner, you acknowledge and agree that you are the Controller (as that term is defined in the GDPR), and we are a Processor (as that term is defined in the GDPR) insofar as you may store personal data through your use of our Services only as permitted and subject to the terms of this Agreement. You also acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for complying with all obligations of a data controller under applicable law (including the GDPR).

    5. To the extent the GDPR applies to you, you represent and warrant that in using our Services, you will clearly describe in writing how you plan to use any personal data collected and you will ensure you have a legitimate legal basis to transfer such personal information to us and that you have the necessary permission to allow us to receive and process (e.g., store) such personal data on your behalf. The additional data processing terms set forth here shall apply where you are a Controller subject to the GDPR.

MyPCBackup may engage subcontractors or agents in performing its duties and exercising its rights hereunder, without your consent. If you do not agree with any transfer or assignment under this paragraph 16, you should discontinue your use of the Services and cancel your account.

Notices relating to your Services and the terms of this Agreement will be provided to you via the email address you have registered for your MyPCBackup account. It is your responsibility to ensure that the personal details MyPCBackup holds for you are current at all times.

  1. Entire Agreement

Any item or service furnished by MyPCBackup in furtherance of the Services shall be covered by this Agreement unless otherwise explicitly provided. Should there be any conflict in terms between this Agreement and any other document, the terms set forth in this Agreement shall govern.

  1. Severability

This Agreement will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Fair Usage Policy


If you have purchased a MyPCBackup product or service prior to July 2015, then you agreed to comply with the Fair Usage Policy.

We monitor the usage of our heaviest account users, a dynamic margin is calculated based on averages which, should a user fall into, we may require them to cease backup delete some data to free up some cloud backup space.

Our dynamic limit is currently 950GB, this figure is calculated every 3 months. We take the average amount of data in Gigabytes queued for backup by our top users. There is a 50GB margin that users can backup into before their backup is actually capped. So the full amount of backup a user could do at the moment is 1TB. Once the total amount of data backed up is under 1TB, the backup will continue automatically until it reaches the 1TB limit again.
