4shared Terms of Service
Last Revised: December 26, 2019

The terms of service (the “Terms”) apply to your access and use of the online file storage and sharing service (the “Service”) provided by New IT Solutions Ltd. (“4shared”, “we”, “our” or “us”), registered at Craigmuir Chambers, Road Town, Tortola VG1110, British Virgin Islands. The Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with 4shared for the Service (or any part thereof). If you are using the Service on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to accept the Terms on such entity’s behalf, and that such entity agrees to indemnify you and 4shared for violations of the Terms.

We reserve the right to change or modify any of the terms and conditions contained in the Terms or any policy or guideline of the Service, at any time and in our sole discretion. Any changes or modifications will be effective immediately upon the posting of such revisions on our website located at https://www.4shared.com (the “Site”), and you waive any right you may have to receive specific notice of such changes or modifications. Your continued use of the Service (or any portion thereof) following the posting of changes or modifications will confirm your acceptance of such changes or modifications on the Site. Therefore, you should frequently review the Terms and applicable policies from time-to-time to understand the terms and conditions that apply to your use of the Service. If you do not agree with all of the terms and conditions of the amended Terms, you must stop using the Service.

If you have any questions regarding the use of the Service, please contact us.
