BlastChamber LLC — Illinois Single-Member Limited Liability Company
EIN: 42-3990403
Service URL: cloud.blastchamber.net
Support Email: [email protected]
Effective Date: August 3, 2026
1.1. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Client," "you," or "your") and BlastChamber LLC ("BlastChamber," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of BlastChamber's encrypted cloud storage service (the "Service"), accessible at cloud.blastchamber.net.
1.2. By registering an account, activating a subscription, or using the Service in any way, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.
1.3. If you are entering into this agreement on behalf of a business entity or organization, you represent and warrant that you have the legal authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and references to "you" and "Client" shall apply to that entity accordingly.
1.4. These Terms take effect upon account provisioning and remain in effect until terminated by either party as described in Section 11.
2.1. Overview. The Service provides commercial encrypted cloud storage hosted entirely on physical server infrastructure owned and operated by BlastChamber LLC in Rockford, Illinois. No third-party cloud providers participate in the storage chain. Your data resides on BlastChamber-owned hardware in a facility under BlastChamber's direct control.
2.2. Features. The Service includes, as applicable to your subscription plan:
2.3. Infrastructure. All storage infrastructure is physically located in Rockford, IL. BlastChamber does not use third-party hyperscale cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) for data storage. The full storage chain — from disk to network — is operated by BlastChamber.
2.4. Service Evolution. We may modify, add, or discontinue specific features of the Service from time to time. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes to the Service as described in Section 15.
2.5. Intended Use. The Service is designed for businesses and individuals who require secure, private cloud storage. It is not intended for applications requiring guaranteed real-time availability, regulatory-grade record retention, or storage of data whose loss would result in personal injury or catastrophic financial harm without independent backup.
3.1. Registration Required. You must register an account to use the Service. Registration requires providing accurate, complete, and current information, including your legal name (or business name), contact email, and billing information.
3.2. Client Vetting (KYC-Lite). BlastChamber vets all prospective clients before provisioning storage accounts. As part of this process, you may be required to:
3.3. Provisioning Contingent on Vetting. Account provisioning is not automatic. BlastChamber reserves the right to approve, delay, or deny any registration request at its sole discretion. We are not obligated to provide a reason for denial. You may not use the Service until your account has been explicitly approved and provisioned.
3.4. Account Security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity occurring under your account. You agree to notify BlastChamber immediately at [email protected] if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.
3.5. Account Accuracy. You agree to keep your account information accurate and up to date. Providing false or misleading information during registration or vetting is grounds for immediate suspension or termination.
3.6. Single Account per Client. Each client (individual or entity) may maintain one account unless BlastChamber expressly authorizes additional accounts in writing.
3.7. Age Requirement. You must be at least 18 years of age to register an account. By registering, you represent that you meet this requirement.
4.1. Plans. BlastChamber offers subscription plans with varying storage capacities and feature sets. Current plan details, including pricing and storage allotments, are published at cloud.blastchamber.net and may change as described in Section 15.
4.2. Billing Cycle. Subscriptions are available on a monthly or annual billing cycle. You will be billed in advance for each billing period through our payment processor, Stripe.
4.3. Payment Processing. All payments are processed by Stripe. BlastChamber does not directly store your full credit card or payment card data. By providing payment information, you authorize Stripe to charge your designated payment method for all applicable fees.
4.4. Free Trial. BlastChamber offers a 14-day free trial of the Service for new clients. The trial begins on the date your account is provisioned. To continue using the Service after the trial, you must select a subscription plan and provide valid payment information before the trial expires. If you do not subscribe before the trial ends, your account will be deactivated and your data will be subject to the retention period described in Section 6.
4.5. Auto-Renewal. Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel before the renewal date. You may cancel at any time through your account settings or by contacting [email protected]. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
4.6. Price Changes. We may change subscription fees with at least 30 days' notice. Price changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle following the notice. If you do not agree to a price change, you may cancel your subscription before the change takes effect.
4.7. Refunds. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law. If you cancel mid-cycle, your subscription remains active until the end of the current billing period. Annual subscriptions canceled before the end of the term are not eligible for prorated refunds unless required by law.
4.8. Taxes. You are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, or similar charges assessed in connection with your subscription, other than taxes based on BlastChamber's net income.
4.9. Past Due Accounts. If payment cannot be processed (e.g., expired card, insufficient funds), we will notify you by email. If payment is not resolved within 10 days, your account may be suspended and your data subject to the retention policy in Section 6.
5.1. Permitted Use. You may use the Service only for lawful storage of data that you own or are authorized to store. You agree to comply with all applicable local, state, federal, and international laws.
5.2. Prohibited Uses. You agree not to use the Service to store, transmit, or distribute any of the following:
5.3. E2EE Limitation. BlastChamber employs encryption to protect client data and, in the E2EE premium tier, cannot access the plaintext of client files. This means BlastChamber cannot proactively monitor stored content. However, the prohibitions in Section 5.2 apply regardless of encryption. If BlastChamber becomes aware — through legal process, client disclosure, or other means — that prohibited content is stored on the Service, we may take action including suspension, termination, and deletion of the offending material as described in Sections 5.4 and 11.
5.4. Enforcement. Violation of this Acceptable Use Policy may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account, deletion of offending content, and, where appropriate, referral to law enforcement. BlastChamber reserves the right to determine, in good faith, whether a violation has occurred.
5.5. Reporting. To report a violation of this policy, contact [email protected] with a description of the issue and any relevant details.
6.1. Active Subscriptions. While your subscription is active, your data is stored securely and remains accessible to you at all times.
6.2. Post-Cancellation Retention. If your subscription is canceled or terminated for any reason — including non-payment, voluntary cancellation, or termination by BlastChamber — BlastChamber will retain your data for 30 days from the date of cancellation. During this 30-day window, you may contact [email protected] to request export of your data.
6.3. Deletion. After the 30-day retention window, BlastChamber will permanently delete your data from all production and backup systems. Deletion is irreversible. BlastChamber is not liable for data loss occurring after the retention window if you did not export your data.
6.4. Free Trial. If your 14-day free trial expires without subscription, your data will be held for 30 days and then deleted as described above.
6.5. Legal Hold. Notwithstanding the above, BlastChamber may retain data beyond the 30-day window if required to comply with a legal obligation, court order, or law enforcement request. In such cases, data will be deleted as soon as the legal basis for retention expires.
6.6. E2EE Accounts. For E2EE premium tier accounts, BlastChamber stores only encrypted data and does not hold decryption keys. Upon deletion, encrypted data is permanently removed. Because BlastChamber cannot decrypt E2EE data, we cannot export it in readable form — you are solely responsible for maintaining your decryption keys.
7.1. Encryption. All client data is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption. Data in transit between your device and the Service is protected by TLS (Transport Layer Security).
7.2. No Data Mining. BlastChamber does not scan, analyze, index, or mine client data for any purpose other than providing the Service (e.g., storage management, integrity checks, and backup operations).
7.3. No Advertising. BlastChamber does not display advertising within the Service, does not use client data to serve ads, and does not share client data with advertising networks.
7.4. No Sale of Data. BlastChamber does not sell, rent, or license client data to any third party. Your data is yours (see Section 10).
7.5. Data We Collect. We collect limited information necessary to operate the Service, including your account registration details, billing information (processed by Stripe), and basic service telemetry (e.g., storage usage, login timestamps). This operational data is described in detail in our Privacy Policy, available at cloud.blastchamber.net/privacy.
7.6. Law Enforcement Disclosures. BlastChamber may disclose client data to law enforcement or government agencies only when required by valid legal process (e.g., subpoena, court order). We will notify you of such requests unless legally prohibited from doing so. For E2EE accounts, BlastChamber can only provide encrypted data, as we do not possess decryption keys.
7.7. Separate Privacy Policy. This Section provides a summary only. Our complete data handling practices are described in the BlastChamber Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy regarding data handling, the Privacy Policy controls.
8.1. Best-Effort Availability. BlastChamber strives to maintain high availability of the Service. However, the Service is currently provided on a best-effort basis. BlastChamber does not, at this time, guarantee any specific uptime percentage or service availability level.
8.2. No Formal SLA. A formal Service Level Agreement with defined uptime targets, credits, and remedies is not yet in effect. BlastChamber is actively working toward a formal SLA, including the implementation of cellular failover connectivity to improve resilience.
8.3. Maintenance. We may perform scheduled or emergency maintenance that temporarily affects Service availability. We will endeavor to provide advance notice of scheduled maintenance via email or the Service dashboard.
8.4. Downtime. BlastChamber is not liable for downtime, service interruptions, or data inaccessibility resulting from factors including but not limited to:
8.5. Future SLA. When BlastChamber implements a formal SLA, it will be published as a separate document and incorporated into these Terms by reference. Any SLA terms will apply prospectively only and will not retroactively cover prior service periods.
8.6. Independent Backup. BlastChamber recommends — but does not require — that clients maintain independent backups of critical data. The Service is not a substitute for a comprehensive data backup strategy.
9.1. Encryption at Rest. All client data is encrypted at rest on BlastChamber's physical servers using industry-standard encryption algorithms.
9.2. TLS in Transit. All data transmitted between your device and the Service is encrypted using TLS. We support modern TLS versions and deprecate outdated protocols.
9.3. E2EE Premium Tier. BlastChamber offers an optional end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) premium subscription tier. In the E2EE tier:
9.4. Key Management — Standard Tier. In the standard (non-E2EE) tier, BlastChamber manages encryption keys on your behalf. Keys are stored separately from encrypted data and are protected by access controls. BlastChamber personnel do not have routine access to client data; access is limited to operational necessity (e.g., troubleshooting, integrity verification) and is logged.
9.5. Key Management — E2EE Tier. In the E2EE tier, you are solely responsible for generating, storing, and managing your encryption keys. BlastChamber provides no key recovery service for E2EE accounts. If you lose your E2EE keys, your data is permanently unrecoverable. You acknowledge and accept this risk.
9.6. Physical Security. Servers are housed in a facility under BlastChamber's direct control in Rockford, IL, with physical access limited to authorized BlastChamber personnel.
9.7. No Security Guarantee. While BlastChamber implements reasonable security measures, no system is perfectly secure. BlastChamber does not guarantee that the Service will be free from unauthorized access, breaches, or data loss. You are encouraged to use strong, unique passwords and, where available, enable two-factor authentication.
9.8. Security Incidents. In the event of a confirmed security breach affecting client data, BlastChamber will notify affected clients promptly and take reasonable steps to mitigate the incident. Notification will be made via email to the address on file.
9.9. Client Security Responsibilities. You are responsible for:
10.1. Client Data Ownership. You retain all right, title, and interest in and to the data you store on the Service ("Client Data"). BlastChamber claims no ownership rights over your Client Data. Nothing in these Terms grants BlastChamber any license to use, copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from your Client Data, except as necessary to provide the Service to you (e.g., storing, encrypting, transmitting, and backing up your data).
10.2. BlastChamber Property. The Service, including its software, interface, branding, documentation, and underlying infrastructure design, is the intellectual property of BlastChamber LLC. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, or redistribute any part of the Service without BlastChamber's prior written consent.
10.3. License to Use the Service. Subject to your compliance with these Terms and your active subscription, BlastChamber grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for the purpose of storing and retrieving your Client Data.
10.4. Feedback. If you provide BlastChamber with feedback, suggestions, or ideas regarding the Service, BlastChamber may use them without any obligation or compensation to you.
11.1. Termination by Client. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting [email protected]. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You will not be charged for subsequent billing cycles.
11.2. Termination by BlastChamber. BlastChamber may suspend or terminate your account:
11.3. Effect of Termination. Upon termination or cancellation:
11.4. E2EE Data on Termination. For E2EE accounts, BlastChamber cannot export your data in readable form. You must use your own decryption keys to access your data during the 30-day retention window. After that window, encrypted data is permanently deleted.
11.5. Survival. The following sections survive termination: Sections 5 (Acceptable Use), 7 (Privacy), 9 (Security responsibilities), 10 (Intellectual Property), 12 (Limitation of Liability), 13 (Indemnification), 14 (Dispute Resolution), and 16 (Contact).
11.6. No Liability for Termination. BlastChamber is not liable to you for any damages resulting from termination of your account in accordance with these Terms.
12.1. To the Maximum Extent Permitted by Law, BlastChamber LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, loss of business, loss of goodwill, or business interruption — arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service, even if BlastChamber has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
12.2. Liability Cap. BlastChamber's total aggregate liability arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the total amount you paid to BlastChamber for the Service in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
12.3. Exclusions. The limitations in this Section 12 do not apply to:
12.4. Essential Basis. The limitations of liability in this Section are a material part of the bargain between the parties. BlastChamber would not provide the Service at the prices offered without these limitations.
12.5. E2EE Acknowledgment. You acknowledge that in the E2EE premium tier, BlastChamber cannot recover your data if you lose your encryption keys. BlastChamber is not liable for data loss resulting from lost, forgotten, or compromised client-side encryption keys in the E2EE tier.
13.1. Client Indemnification. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BlastChamber LLC, its members, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
13.2. Procedure. BlastChamber will notify you promptly of any claim for which indemnification is sought. You will assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to BlastChamber. BlastChamber may participate in the defense at its own expense. You will not settle any claim that imposes a liability or obligation on BlastChamber without BlastChamber's prior written consent.
13.3. BlastChamber Indemnification. BlastChamber will indemnify and hold you harmless from third-party claims that the Service infringes a U.S. patent, copyright, or trademark, to the extent such claim arises from BlastChamber's own software and infrastructure (not from Client Data or client-side materials). This indemnification is subject to the liability cap in Section 12.2.
14.1. Governing Law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
14.2. Informal Resolution. Before initiating formal proceedings, both parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute through direct communication and negotiation. Either party may initiate this process by sending a written notice of the dispute to the other party's contact email. The parties will have 30 days from receipt of notice to attempt resolution.
14.3. Venue. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Winnebago County, Illinois (or the Northern District of Illinois, as applicable), for any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
14.4. Class Action Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party agrees that any dispute will be resolved on an individual basis and not as part of a class action, consolidated action, or representative proceeding.
14.5. Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information without first complying with the informal resolution period.
14.6. Costs. Each party bears its own costs and attorneys' fees, except as otherwise provided in Section 13 or as awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction.
15.1. Material Changes. BlastChamber may update or modify these Terms from time to time. We will notify clients of material changes by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Material changes include modifications to pricing, data retention, acceptable use, liability, or privacy provisions.
15.2. Non-Material Changes. Non-material changes (e.g., clarifications, formatting, contact information updates) may be made without separate notice. The current version will always be available at cloud.blastchamber.net/terms.
