ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTS AND ADMINISTRATORS:
When you sign up for an account for your organization you may specify one or more administrators. The administrators will have the right to configure the Services based on your requirements and manage end users in your organization account. If your organization account is created and configured on your behalf by a third party, it is likely that such third party has assumed administrator role for your organization. Make sure that you enter into a suitable agreement with such third party specifying such party’s roles and restrictions as an administrator of your organization account.
You are responsible for (i) ensuring confidentiality of your organization account password, (ii) appointing competent individuals as administrators for managing your organization account, and (iii) ensuring that all activities that occur in connection with your organization account comply with this Agreement.

In the absence of any specified administrator account recovery process, PSPL may provide control of an administrator account to an individual providing proof satisfactory to PSPL demonstrating authorization to act on behalf of the organization. You agree not to hold PSPL liable for the consequences of any action taken by PSPL in good faith in this regard.

The data deletion policy may be implemented with respect to any or all of the Services. Each Service will be considered an independent and separate service for the purpose of calculating the period of inactivity.

In case of accounts with more than one user, if at least one of the users is active, the account will not be considered inactive.
HOSTING LOCATION:
The location of the cloud facility from which you are served depends on the mapping of your region/country to the available cloud facilities at the time of your sign-up. We may migrate your account or require you to migrate your account to a different cloud facility in the event of any updates to the region/country to cloud facility mapping at any point of time. You must not mask your internet protocol (IP) address at the time of sign-up since your region/country is determined based on your IP address. If, at any time, your actual region/country is found to be different from the region/country in our records, PSPL may take appropriate action such as migrate your account or require you to migrate your account to the cloud facility corresponding to your region/ country or close your account and deny the Service to you. If you are served from a cloud facility outside your region/country and a PSPL group entity has an office in your region/country, apart from storing the data in the cloud facility assigned to you, we may store a local copy of the data in your region/country.
