Important Clarification
IUCC hereby clarifies that it provides public cloud storage services but does not deal with any of the legal aspects of storing the information of the account holder in the public cloud. For that reason, if the account holder has any doubt regarding any legal or juristic aspect of storing information in a public cloud environment, the account holder is advised to seek legal counsel prior to copying information to the public cloud service.
