Unless otherwise permitted by GMSCloud in writing, you may only possess one Account.

User Provided Content.
GMSCloud may, in its own sole discretion, permit you from time to time to submit, upload, publish or otherwise make available to GMSCloud through the Services textual, audio, and/or visual content and information, including commentary and feedback related to the Services, initiation of support requests, and submission of entries for competitions and promotions (“User Content”). Any User Content provided by you remains your property.
You represent and warrant that: (i) you either are the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases necessary to grant GMSCloud the license to the User Content as set forth above; and (ii) neither the User Content nor your submission, uploading, publishing or otherwise making available of such User Content nor GMSCloud’s use of the User Content as permitted herein will infringe, misappropriate, or violate a third party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.
You agree to not provide User Content that is defamatory, libelous, hateful, violent, obscene, pornographic, unlawful, or otherwise offensive, as determined by GMSCloud in its sole discretion, whether or not such material may be protected by law. GMSCloud may, but shall not be obligated to, review, monitor, or remove User Content, at GMSCloud’s sole discretion and at any time and for any reason, without notice to you.
You understand that use of the Services may result in charges to you for the services or goods you receive from a Third-Party Provider (“Charges”). After you have received services or goods obtained through your use of the Service, GMSCloud will facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Third-Party Provider, as said Third-Party Provider’s limited payment collection agent. Payment of the Charges in said manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Third-Party Provider. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by GMSCloud. You retain the right to request lower Charges from a Third-Party Provider for services or goods received by you from said Third-Party Provider at the time you receive such services or goods. GMSCloud will respond accordingly to any request from a Third-Party Provider to modify the Charges for a particular service or good.
All Charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated by GMSCloud using the preferred payment method designated in your Account, after which GMSCloud will send you a receipt by email. If your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that GMSCloud may, as the Third-Party Provider’s limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your Account, if available.
As between you and GMSCloud, GMSCloud reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the Services at any time in GMSCloud’s sole discretion. Further, you acknowledge and agree that Charges applicable in certain rush service may increase substantially. GMSCloud will inform you of such rush Charges that may apply, provided that you will be responsible for Charges incurred under your GMSCloud regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. GMSCloud may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained through the use of the Services, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Services or the Charges applied to you. You may elect to cancel your request for services or goods from a Third-Party Provider at any time prior to such service has started, in which case you may be charged a cancellation fee.
After you have received services or goods obtained through the Service, you will have the opportunity to rate your experience and leave additional feedback about your Third-Party Provider.
