Please select a time and date that you would like a VaultDrop sales rep. to contact you.
In OAuth2, the authorization code passes through the web browser, but Private ID sends authenticated user information and the secure access token by an out-of-band channel directly to a partner endpoint. In bypassing the user’s web browser and encouraging partner sites to keep private information on the back end-web server and database, Private ID rules out an entire class of vulnerabilities.
OAuth2 requires two calls in sequence for this type of delegated authentication sequence: first acquiring an authorization code, and then acquiring a secure access token. This is done to avoid sending the token through the web browser. Since Private ID has eliminated that vulnerability already, only one step is needed.
OAuth2 relies heavily on TLS for assurance of security, arguably leaving it open to malicious certificates and man-in-the-middle attacks. Private ID also uses TLS, but further requires the partner to sign each request cryptographically to provide a higher level of protection.

If Customer’s use of the Services exceeds the Service Capacity set forth on Exhibit A or otherwise requires the payment of additional fees (per the terms of this Agreement), Customer shall be billed for such usage and Customer agrees to pay the additional fees in the manner provided herein. VaultDrop reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and Fees at the end of the Initial Service Term or then‑current renewal term, upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Customer (which may be sent by email). If Customer believes that VaultDrop has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact VaultDrop no later than 60 days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to VaultDrop’s customer support department.
4.2 VaultDrop may choose to bill through an invoice, in which case, full payment for invoices issued in any given month must be received by VaultDrop thirty (30) days after the mailing date of the invoice. Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection, and may result in immediate termination of Services. Customer shall be responsible for all taxes associated with Services other than U.S. taxes based on VaultDrop’s net income.
5.1 Subject to earlier termination as provided below, this Agreement is for the Initial Service Term as specified Exhibit A, and shall be automatically renewed for additional periods of the same duration as the Initial Service Term (collectively, the “Term”), unless either party requests termination at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.
5.2 In addition to any other remedies it may have, either party may also terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ notice. Customer will pay in full for the Services up to and including the last day on which the Services are provided.
5.3 All sections of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, accrued rights to payment, confidentiality obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
VaultDrop shall use reasonable efforts consistent with prevailing industry standards to maintain the Services in a manner which minimizes errors and interruptions in the Services and shall perform in a professional and workmanlike manner. Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by VaultDrop or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond VaultDrop’s reasonable control. Nevertheless VaultDrop shall use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by e-mail of any scheduled service disruption. However, VaultDrop does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted or error free; nor does it make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from use of the Services. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION, THE SERVICES AND IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND VAULTDROP DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
VaultDrop shall hold Customer harmless from liability to third parties resulting from infringement by the Service of any United States patent or any copyright or misappropriation of any trade secret, provided VaultDrop is promptly notified of any and all threats, claims and proceedings related thereto and given reasonable assistance and the opportunity to assume sole control over defense and settlement; VaultDrop will not be responsible for any settlement it does not approve in writing. The foregoing obligations do not apply with respect to portions or components of the Service (i) not supplied by VaultDrop, (ii) made in whole or in part in accordance with Customer specifications, (iii) that are modified after delivery by VaultDrop, (iv) combined with other products, processes or materials where the alleged infringement relates to such combination, (v) where Customer continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (vi) where Customer’s use of the Service is not strictly in accordance with this Agreement. If, due to a claim of infringement, the Services are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be or are believed by VaultDrop to be infringing, VaultDrop may, at its option and expense (a) replace or modify the Service to be non-infringing provided that such modification or replacement contains substantially similar features and functionality, (b) obtain for Customer a license to continue using the Service, or (c) if neither of the foregoing is commercially practicable, terminate this Agreement and Customer’s rights hereunder and provide Customer a refund of any prepaid, unused fees for the Service.
VaultDrop will indemnify Customer for an Invited User’s lost data according to the provisions of VaultDrop’s published Terms of Service. Any guarantees offered or otherwise made available to VaultDrop Proprietary End Users, users acquired by VaultDrop through any source other than Customer, or to any VaultDrop user, customer, or client that is not a Customer Invited User or a Customer Uninvited User, shall not apply to or otherwise be made available to Customer’s Invited Users or Uninvited Users.
Throughout the Term of the Agreement, VaultDrop shall maintain liability and cyber liability insurance managed by a qualified company, licensed to do business in California. Such policy shall provide protection against claims, demands and causes of action arising out of any defects or failure to perform, alleged or otherwise, of the Services.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, VAULTDROP AND ITS SUPPLIERS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ALL EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY SUPPLIERS), OFFICERS, AFFILIATES, REPRESENTATIVES, CONTRACTORS AND EMPLOYEES SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR TERMS AND CONDITIONS RELATED THERETO UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY: (A) FOR ERROR OR INTERRUPTION OF USE OR FOR LOSS OR INACCURACY OR CORRUPTION OF DATA OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR TECHNOLOGY OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OR LOST PROFITS; (B) FOR ANY INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; (C) FOR ANY MATTER BEYOND VAULTDROP’S REASONABLE CONTROL; OR (D) FOR ANY AMOUNTS THAT, TOGETHER WITH AMOUNTS ASSOCIATED WITH ALL OTHER CLAIMS, EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER TO VAULTDROP FOR THE SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACT THAT GAVE RISE TO THE LIABILITY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER OR NOT VAULTDROP HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
With the exception of alleged breaches of confidentiality or proprietary rights provisions, or disputes related to security vulnerabilities, neither party may file a lawsuit until the completion of the mediation described in this Section. A party shall file a mediation demand with a service similar to JAMS of Southern California, with the non-binding mediation to take place in Los Angeles County, California. The parties will work in good faith to select a mediator who is knowledgeable and experienced in the subject matter of this Agreement. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator within twenty (20) days of the filing of a mediation demand, then the mediation service provider shall appoint a mediator within (10) days of being informed by one of the parties of the inability to select a mediator. The mediation shall be conducted within forty-five (45) days of the date of the filing of the mediation demand from either party. All negotiations connected with the dispute, including negotiations with a mediator, shall be conducted in confidence and without prejudice to the rights of the parties in any future legal proceedings.
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by Customer except with VaultDrop’s prior written consent. VaultDrop may transfer and assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without consent. This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. All waivers and modifications to this Agreement must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and Customer does not have any authority of any kind to bind VaultDrop in any respect whatsoever. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees.

This Agreement includes and incorporates the above Order Form, as well as the VaultDrop Terms and Conditions published on its website and contains, among other things, warranty disclaimers, liability limitations and use limitations. There shall be no force or effect to any different terms of any other purchase order or similar form even if signed by the parties after the date hereof.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1.1 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, VaultDrop will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services to Customer’s Invited End Users. VaultDrop reserves the right to refuse registration of, or cancel services of any Invited End Users who are in breach of any terms of service or privacy policies, as VaultDrop deems appropriate.
1.2 VaultDrop shall provide Customer with a mechanism to invite End Users (who shall become Invited End Users) and un-invite End Users (who shall become Uninvited End Users). It is agreed that each occupied unit of a storage facility represents one End User. VaultDrop, in some cases, may provide a mechanism that interfaces with Customer MIS and/or other IT systems to automatically invite and un-invite End Users as they engage and disengage respectively with Customer as an End User of Customer’s Services, or as other criteria may be met.
1.3 Subject to the terms hereof, VaultDrop will provide Customer and Invited End Users with reasonable technical support services in accordance with the terms set forth in Exhibit C.
1.4 When Customer un-invites, or causes to be uninvited, one of its Invited End Users, the then Uninvited End User shall be provided, at no additional fee, with fifteen (15) days of continued Service from the date of being un-invited to decide whether to (a) download all content and cease use of VaultDrop services, or (b) continue to utilize VaultDrop services as a VaultDrop Proprietary End User.
1.5 Regardless of whether the Uninvited End User chooses (a) or (b) above, they will have ongoing access to view and download their files from VaultDrop. VaultDrop will provide this capability subject to its own goodwill, with the intention of this availability to last indefinitely, but VaultDrop may terminate it with 90 days notice at any time.
1.6 Subject to VaultDrop approval, when a Customer’s Uninvited End User subscribes to a VaultDrop paid services plan and becomes a VaultDrop Paying End User, a one-time referral fee of $10 per PayingEnd User may be paid to Customer. Alternatively, a residual payment of $1 per month may be paid to Customer for each month that an Uninvited End User remains a VaultDrop Paying End User.
2.1 Customer will not, directly or indirectly: reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code or underlying structure, ideas, know-how or algorithms relevant to the Services or any software, documentation or data related to the Services (“Software”); modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Services or any Software (except to the extent expressly permitted by VaultDrop or authorized within the Services); use the Services or any Software for timesharing; or remove any proprietary notices or labels.

Customer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless VaultDrop against any damages, losses, liabilities, settlements and expenses (including without limitation costs and attorneys’ fees) in connection with any claim or action that arises from an alleged violation of the foregoing and from terms of services or privacy policy. VaultDrop has no obligation to monitor use of the Services, however, VaultDrop may suspend or prohibit use that constitutes (or is alleged to be) a violation of the foregoing.
2.5 Customer shall be responsible for maintaining ancillary services needed for it and its Invited End Users to access or otherwise use the Services, including, without limitation, hardware, servers, software, operating systems, networking, web servers, management information systems, other IT systems, and the like (collectively, “Equipment”).

VaultDrop reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and Fees at the end of the Initial Service Term or then‑current renewal term, upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Customer (which may be sent by email). If Customer believes that VaultDrop has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact VaultDrop no later than 60 days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to VaultDrop’s customer support department.

Customer shall be responsible for all taxes associated with Services other than U.S. taxes based on VaultDrop’s net income.
4.3 If agreed upon, VaultDrop will not charge Customer for their first month of service. Additionally, Customer is entitled to a full refund of charges for their second and third months of service, not to exceed any amount paid by Customer for these second and third months of service.
5.1 Subject to earlier termination as provided below, this Agreement is for the Initial Service Term as specified in the Order Form, and shall be automatically renewed for additional periods of the same duration as the Initial Service Term (collectively, the “Term”), unless either party requests termination at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.
5.2 In addition to any other remedies it may have, either party may also terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ notice. Customer will pay in full for the Services up to and including the last day on which the Services are provided.
5.3 All sections of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, accrued rights to payment, confidentiality obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
VaultDrop shall use reasonable efforts consistent with prevailing industry standards to maintain the Services in a manner which minimizes errors and interruptions in the Services and shall perform in a professional and workmanlike manner. Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by VaultDrop or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond VaultDrop’s reasonable control. Nevertheless VaultDrop shall use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by e-mail of any scheduled service disruption. However, VaultDrop does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted or error free; nor does it make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from use of the Services. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION, THE SERVICES AND IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND VAULTDROP DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
VaultDrop shall hold Customer harmless from liability to third parties resulting from infringement by the Service of any United States patent or any copyright or misappropriation of any trade secret, provided VaultDrop is promptly notified of any and all threats, claims and proceedings related thereto and given reasonable assistance and the opportunity to assume sole control over defense and settlement; VaultDrop will not be responsible for any settlement it does not approve in writing. The foregoing obligations do not apply with respect to portions or components of the Service (i) not supplied by VaultDrop, (ii) made in whole or in part in accordance with Customer specifications, (iii) that are modified after delivery by VaultDrop, (iv) combined with other products, processes or materials where the alleged infringement relates to such combination, (v) where Customer continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (vi) where Customer’s use of the Service is not strictly in accordance with this Agreement. If, due to a claim of infringement, the Services are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be or are believed by VaultDrop to be infringing, VaultDrop may, at its option and expense (a) replace or modify the Service to be non-infringing provided that such modification or replacement contains substantially similar features and functionality, (b) obtain for Customer a license to continue using the Service, or (c) if neither of the foregoing is commercially practicable, terminate this Agreement and Customer’s rights hereunder and provide Customer a refund of any prepaid, unused fees for the Service.
VaultDrop will indemnify Customer for an Invited End User’s lost data according to the provisions of VaultDrop’s published Terms of Service. Any guarantees offered or otherwise made available to VaultDrop Proprietary End Users, users acquired by VaultDrop through any source other than Customer, or to any VaultDrop user, customer, or client that is not a Customer Invited End User or a Customer Uninvited End User, shall not apply to or otherwise be made available to Customer’s Invited End Users or Uninvited End Users.
Throughout the Term of the Agreement, VaultDrop obtains and maintains insurance managed by a qualified company, licensed to do business in California. Such policy shall provide protection against any and all claims, demands and causes of action arising out of any defects or failure to perform, alleged or otherwise, of the Services. The amount of coverage shall be for $2 million dollars. The policy shall provide for ten (10) days’ notice in the event of any modification, cancellation or termination.
NOT WITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, VAULTDROP AND ITS SUPPLIERS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ALL EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY SUPPLIERS), OFFICERS, AFFILIATES, REPRESENTATIVES, CONTRACTORS AND EMPLOYEES SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR TERMS AND CONDITIONS RELATED THERETO UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY: (A) FOR ERROR OR INTERRUPTION OF USE OR FOR LOSS OR INACCURACY OR CORRUPTION OF DATA OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR TECHNOLOGY OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OR LOST PROFITS; (B) FOR ANY INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; (C) FOR ANY MATTER BEYOND VAULTDROP’S REASONABLE CONTROL; OR (D) FOR ANY AMOUNTS THAT, TOGETHER WITH AMOUNTS ASSOCIATED WITH ALL OTHER CLAIMS, EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER TO VAULTDROP FOR THE SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACT THAT GAVE RISE TO THE LIABILITY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER OR NOT VAULTDROP HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
With the exception of alleged breaches of confidentiality or proprietary rights provisions, or disputes related to security vulnerabilities, neither party may file a lawsuit until the completion of the mediation described in this Section. A party shall file a mediation demand with a service similar to JAMS of Southern California, with the non-binding mediation to take place in Los Angeles County, California. The parties will work in good faith to select a mediator who is knowledgeable and experienced in the subject matter of this Agreement. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator within twenty (20) days of the filing of a mediation demand, then the mediation service provider shall appoint a mediator within (10) days of being informed by one of the parties of the inability to select a mediator. The mediation shall be conducted within forty-five (45) days of the date of the filing of the mediation demand from either party. All negotiations connected with the dispute, including negotiations with a mediator, shall be conducted in confidence and without prejudice to the rights of the parties in any future legal proceedings.
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by Customer except with VaultDrop’s prior written consent. VaultDrop may transfer and assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without consent. This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. All waivers and modifications to this Agreement must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and Customer does not have any authority of any kind to bind VaultDrop in any respect whatsoever. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees. All notices under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service; and upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
EXHIBIT A
Service Offering
VaultDrop shall provide the availability of unlimited cloud storage service, with individual file sizes not to exceed 25MB, to Customer’s Invited End Users.
EXHIBIT B
Service Level Terms
The Services shall be available 99.9%, measured monthly, excluding holidays and weekends and scheduled maintenance. If Customer requests maintenance during these hours, any uptime or downtime calculation will exclude periods affected by such maintenance. Further, any downtime resulting from outages of third party connections or utilities or other reasons beyond VaultDrop’s control will also be excluded from any such calculation. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and VaultDrop’s entire liability, in connection with Service availability shall be that for each period of downtime lasting longer than one (1) hour, VaultDrop will credit Customer 5% of Service fees for each period of 60 or more consecutive minutes of downtime; provided that no more than one such credit will accrue per day. Downtime shall begin to accrue as soon as Customer (with notice to VaultDrop) recognizes that downtime is taking place, and continues until the availability of the Services is restored. In order to receive downtime credit, Customer must notify VaultDrop in writing within 24 hours from the time of downtime. Failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit. Such credits may not be redeemed for cash and shall not be cumulative beyond a total of credits for one (1) week of Service Fees in any one (1) calendar month in any event. VaultDrop will only apply a credit to the month in which the incident occurred. VaultDrop’s blocking of data communications or other Service in accordance with its policies shall not be deemed to be a failure of VaultDrop to provide adequate service levels under this Agreement.
EXHIBIT C
Support Terms
VaultDrop will provide Technical Support to Customer via both telephone and electronic mail on weekdays during the hours of 9:00am through 5:00pm Pacific time, with the exclusion of Federal Holidays (“Support Hours”).
