BC VAULT’S ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY

This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) sets forth the principles that govern the use by customers of the Web-based products and services provided by BC Vault.

GENERAL VIOLATIONS

This AUP identifies the actions that BC Vault considers to be Prohibited Actions (meaning those actions which create denial of access or impediment of service).

PROHIBITED ACTIONS: GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE

  • Copying/duplicating the Licensed Product or creating subsets or derivative databases from the licensed products.
  • Assigning, selling or passing along the Licensed Product.
  • Publishing or otherwise disseminating the Licensed Product or creating subsets or derivatives of the Licensed Products.
  • Providing services for a fee using the Licensed Product or any subsets or derivatives thereof.
  • Allowing data from the Licensed Product to be made available to others or downloading the Licensed Product onto any electronic storage media or distributing or transferring the Licensed Product or its derivatives in any form (printed, electronically relayed, posted to public list services or bulletin boards, or magnetically stored) to, or for the benefit, of others.
  • Unauthorized distribution of passwords and/or access codes.

PROHIBITED ACTIONS: IMPERSONATION/FORGERY

  • Adding, removing, or modifying identifying network header information in an effort to deceive or mislead.
  • Attempting to impersonate any person by using forged headers or other identifying information.

PROHIBITED ACTIONS: NETWORK UNFRIENDLY ACTIVITY

  • Any activities which adversely affect the ability of other people or systems to use BC Vault services or the Internet are prohibited. This includes “denial of service” attacks against the BC Vault servers, network hosts or any individual user.
  • Using any program/script/command, or sending messages of any kind, designed to interfere with a User’s session, by any means, locally or by the Internet.

PROHIBITED ACTIONS: ACCESS CONTROL AND AUTHENTICATION

  • Attempting to circumvent user authentication or security of any host, network, or account is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, accessing data not intended for the customer, logging into a server or account the customer is not expressly authorized to access, or probing the security of BC Vault servers and networks.

ENFORCEMENT

BC Vault reserves the right to monitor Internet access to the BC Vault services by authorized User(s)/Licensee(s), as part of the normal course of its business practice. Should BC Vault discover User(s) engaged in Prohibited Actions as outlined above, which create denial of access or impediment of service, and which adversely affect BC Vault’s ability to provide services, BC Vault reserves the right to temporarily suspend User/Licensee access to the BC Vault Servers and/or services or Licensed Products. BC Vault shall make written/electronic notification to User or Licensee point of contact of any temporary suspension, and the cause thereof, as soon as reasonably possible. This temporary suspension will remain in effect until the Prohibited Actions have ceased.

RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

If you are a Consumer Customer, you have a fourteen (14) days right of withdrawal pursuant to European consumer protection laws. European Union’s standardised information sheet below.

Your right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this agreement within fourteen days without having to give any reason.
The withdrawal period (or cooling-off period) expires fourteen days after the day on which you, or a third party designated by you other than the carrier, physically takes possession of the item (or the last item in the case of a single order).
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must notify us of your decision to withdraw from this agreement by means of a straightforward statement (e.g. letter sent by post or email).
You can contact us by email at support@bc-vault.com. To be within the withdrawal period, you just need to send your statement about exercising your right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period expires.

The effects of your withdrawal

If you withdraw from this agreement, we will refund all payments we have received from you, including delivery costs (except for additional costs due to your choosing, where applicable, a delivery method other than the less costly standard delivery method we offer) without excessive delay and, in any event, no later than fourteen days from the date on which you informed us of your decision to withdraw from this agreement. We will make the refund using the same payment method you used for the original transaction unless you explicitly agree a different method; in any case, this refund will not incur any costs for you.

For cryptocurrency payments, you will be reimbursed in cryptocurrency but for the euro equivalent of the initial purchase.
We may defer the refund until we have received the item or until you have provided proof of shipment of the item, whichever occurs first.
You must return the item to us at REAL BCV d.o.o., Zolgarjeva ulica 17, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia without undue delay and in any event no later than fourteen days after you have let us know of your decision to withdraw from this agreement. You are deemed to be within this period if you return the item before the fourteen-day period expires.
You are only liable for depreciation of the item resulting from handling of the item that goes beyond what is necessary to establish the item’s nature, characteristics and proper functioning.

Specific rules and exceptions

If a product that is part of a bundled offer is returned, you must return the entire bundle in its original packaging for a full refund.

For textile products, we do not accept returns of products that have already been worn (except for a short time to check the size/fit) or products that have been washed. The returned product must be in its original condition and in its original packaging.
For any complaints about the Products, please use the support contact form.
