Scope and definitions

This USB Device & Data Usage Agreement (the “Agreement”) is issued under the Sirco name. “Sirco” means the business or entity that provides the applicable USB Device or Content under that name. “Sirco Parties” means Sirco and, where applicable, its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, branches, divisions, and their respective owners, members, directors, officers, managers, employees, agents, contractors, suppliers, licensors, distributors, authorized representatives, successors, and permitted assigns, but only to the extent a particular provision lawfully applies to that person or entity.

“USB Device” means a USB flash drive, external storage device, or similar removable device distributed, supplied, or identified in connection with Sirco, including its contents. “Content” means information, software, documents, media, utilities, files, and other data stored on, transferred by, or accessed using the USB Device. “You” means the individual who obtains, possesses, or uses the USB Device.

This Agreement addresses usage of the USB Device on personal computers, Chromebooks, school-issued devices, workplace systems, library computers, government systems, and other equipment. It is not a grant of rights to use devices, accounts, networks, or Content you are otherwise prohibited from accessing.

Where a provision expressly limits liability or provides indemnification in favor of the Sirco Parties, each eligible Sirco Party is an intended beneficiary of that provision to the extent permitted by applicable law. Listing a category does not mean such an entity exists, participated in any transaction, or is automatically released from its own legal duties.

Responsibility for your own decisions and actions

You control and are responsible for your own use of the USB Device. This includes choosing whether, where, and how to connect it; what files to open, copy, modify, delete, or distribute; what programs to execute; and what information to obtain, upload, disclose, or share.

You must evaluate whether an intended activity is lawful, authorized, safe, and permitted by applicable policies before performing it. You assume responsibility for the reasonably foreseeable consequences of your own unauthorized, negligent, or wrongful conduct, to the extent permitted by law.

Your voluntary misuse of the USB Device or its Content does not, by itself, mean that a Sirco Party directed, approved, participated in, or caused your specific actions.

Schools, employers, and public or private institutions

If you use or possess the USB Device in connection with a school, school district, college, university, employer, business, library, government office, public agency, or other institution, you are personally responsible for understanding and following that institution's applicable requirements.

• Follow acceptable-use, technology, computer-lab, student conduct, employment, examination, and information-security policies.
• Do not connect external storage to managed equipment where USB devices or external programs are restricted or prohibited.
• Do not treat possession of this USB Device or this Agreement as permission from a teacher, administrator, IT department, employer, or device owner.
• Where authorization is required, obtain it from the appropriate owner or administrator before connecting or using the device.

If you violate these requirements through your own conduct, you—not a Sirco Party solely because of its role in supplying, distributing, or identifying a USB Device—are responsible for your decisions and any resulting disciplinary or other consequences, subject to applicable law.

Authorization and access rights

You must have permission to use each computer, Chromebook, account, network, application, service, or dataset with which you interact. A USB Device does not grant administrative privileges, override a device owner's restrictions, or expand your access rights.

Do not use the USB Device to defeat device-management restrictions, bypass security protections, evade monitoring, impersonate users, access restricted information, or circumvent network or institution controls without express authorization. Using your own USB Device does not make restricted access permissible.

Files, information, content, and intellectual property

You are responsible for deciding what Content you access and for securing any necessary rights to use, copy, modify, display, download, redistribute, or publish it. Respect copyright, licenses, confidentiality duties, privacy rules, and third-party ownership rights.

Do not improperly take, store, share, or expose student records, school materials, employer records, passwords, personal information, or other confidential data. The presence of Content on a USB Device does not establish that you have permission to use or distribute it.

Where Content has been provided by someone other than Sirco, that Content may be subject to its own license or conditions. This Agreement does not transfer ownership of third-party materials to you.

Prohibited uses

You agree not to use the USB Device or its Content for unauthorized or unlawful purposes, including:

• Unauthorized access to systems, accounts, networks, devices, or private information.
• Malware distribution, credential theft, destructive modification, intentional service disruption, or interference with security systems.
• Cheating, evading examination controls, or violating applicable academic-integrity rules.
• Bypassing institutional access restrictions, content controls, or device management without permission.
• Harassment, unlawful surveillance, violation of privacy, infringement, or distribution of illegally obtained information.
• Any activity that violates applicable laws, valid institutional policies, or another person's rights.

A Sirco Party supplying a device, files, instructions, or software does not, by that act alone, authorize or endorse any such behavior.

Security, compatibility, backups, and data loss

You should scan files where appropriate, maintain backups of important data, verify system compatibility, and follow safe removal and storage procedures. Computers and storage devices can experience corruption, unintended changes, performance issues, data loss, malware exposure, or hardware failures.

You are responsible for harm you cause through improper or unauthorized use, to the extent permitted by law. Nothing here shifts responsibility for a defective product or a Sirco Party's own unlawful or legally actionable conduct onto you. Any separate manufacturer warranty or statutory consumer protection continues to apply according to its terms and the law.

Third-party software and services

Some USB Devices may contain or interact with software, links, utilities, websites, or services offered by third parties. Those products and services may have separate terms, privacy practices, license restrictions, and technical requirements. You are responsible for reviewing relevant terms and obtaining any required permission to install or use them.

The Sirco Parties do not control independent third parties merely because their materials are accessible using a USB Device. Any responsibility a Sirco Party independently has under law remains unaffected.

School discipline, investigations, and institutional actions

An institution may investigate alleged misconduct and, subject to applicable law and its own policies, restrict USB use, revoke device or network privileges, impose school or workplace discipline, or refer suspected unlawful activity to the relevant authorities.

The Sirco Parties do not assume responsibility for penalties or consequences arising solely from your independently chosen violation of an institution's valid rules or applicable law. You are responsible for cooperating with any lawful obligations that apply to you.

This Agreement does not prevent any school, employer, public authority, regulator, law-enforcement agency, or court from exercising its lawful powers. It also does not prevent any person or institution from asserting a legally valid claim against a responsible party.

No institutional partnership or endorsement

Unless separately stated in an authorized written agreement, the Sirco Parties and the USB Device are not sponsored, approved, supported, or endorsed by your school, district, employer, government agency, device administrator, or any other institution. This Agreement does not create an agency, employment, partnership, or authorization relationship between a Sirco Party and such institutions.

References to Chromebooks, PCs, operating systems, or other products are descriptive only and do not imply endorsement by their respective owners.

Limited warranty disclaimer

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, and except for any separate express warranty that applies, the USB Device and optional Content are provided by the applicable Sirco Party without additional promises that they will meet a user's particular requirements, remain continuously available, work on all computers, or be error-free. No statement in this Agreement excludes or modifies any warranty or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded or modified.

Any existing written warranty, applicable implied warranty, or remedy under product-safety and consumer-protection law remains in effect where required. The terms of any third-party hardware manufacturer's warranty, if one exists, are separate from this Agreement.

Limitation of liability for user-initiated misuse

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, the Sirco Parties are not liable for losses, discipline, sanctions, denied access, device restrictions, lost files, or third-party claims to the extent those consequences arise from your independent, unauthorized, unlawful, or policy-violating use of the USB Device rather than from any act or omission for which the applicable Sirco Party is legally responsible.

This provision does not remove liability for a Sirco Party's own legally actionable conduct, defective products, fraud, intentional wrongdoing, gross negligence where non-excludable, or other matters that cannot lawfully be waived. It does not create immunity from governmental or institutional action.

Claims arising from your misconduct; indemnification

To the extent enforceable under applicable law, you agree to reimburse and defend the affected Sirco Parties against reasonable third-party claims, losses, and expenses directly resulting from your own unlawful conduct, unauthorized access, or material breach of this Agreement, except to the extent such claim or loss results from a Sirco Party's own acts, omissions, or legal responsibilities.

This provision does not require you to waive non-waivable rights, does not apply where prohibited by law, and is subject to any protections that apply to minors or consumers.

Non-waivable rights and third-party authority

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to: (a) waive rights that cannot legally be waived; (b) limit a government's lawful authority; (c) bind a school, employer, regulator, manufacturer, or third party that has not agreed to these terms; (d) excuse any Sirco Party from responsibility imposed by law; or (e) replace a device owner's or institution's rules.

If there is a conflict between a clause in this Agreement and mandatory applicable law, that law controls. Any enforceable part of the Agreement may continue to apply independently.

Minors and parents or guardians

Users under the age of legal majority should review this Agreement with a parent or legal guardian and obtain any consent required by applicable law. A minor’s use of a USB Device or access to this page does not, by itself, establish an enforceable contractual waiver where the law provides otherwise. Parents and guardians should help minors understand school, technology, privacy, and device-use rules.

Website privacy

This page provides the text of the Agreement for review. It does not include an acceptance form, request a signature, or store an agreement acknowledgment in your browser.

As with other websites, the hosting provider or related infrastructure may process routine technical information, such as IP addresses, request times, and security logs, according to its applicable policies. This page does not itself establish proof that a particular person received or agreed to these terms.

General provisions and changes

If a provision is held unenforceable, remaining enforceable provisions will continue to apply as far as the law allows. A failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not necessarily waive the right to enforce it later. This Agreement supplements, but does not replace, any separate written purchase, license, warranty, or service terms that apply.

Sirco may publish updated terms for future use, showing a new effective date and version. Material changes do not automatically amend an existing agreement where additional notice or acceptance is legally required. Questions about these terms may be directed through Sirco's officially published support or legal contact channels.
