You retain ownership of any document(s) you upload to our server, except when paid for, at which time the paying party will be given full access and download rights to the document(s). Transfer of ownership between the two parties on either side of the transaction will depend on your terms, not ours.
Any party who uploads a document or file to Tracument may cancel the associated invoice before that invoice is paid. A record of cancelled invoices remain in the system for seven years, and the attached documents are deleted after 120 days.
Once an invoice is paid, the party who paid the invoice has access to the attached documents. If documents are accidentally transferred to an unintended recipient by a user, the providing party must contact the unintended recipient and arrange for the return or destruction of those documents. The providing party is responsible for ensuring that documents are sent to the appropriate party(ies). All transferred documents uploaded to Tracument’s server are stored in Canada.
