ACCOUNT INFORMATION

Passwords - CIP provides anonymity and therefore keeps as little information as possible on our customers, including their passwords. If you forget your password, you will be unable to access your account. It is highly recommended that you record your username and password in a secure place for future reference.

Renewals - When you purchase CIP services, your account will be configured for automatic billing. If you choose not to utilize our automatic billing option, you can change this option only by contacting Support. If you opt for this we will not bill you for continued service when your account expires and it will be your responsibility to renew your account if you desire continued service. If you remain on automatic billing, your account will automatically renew at the end of your subscription and your credit card will be billed accordingly and you will have no service interruption and nor will you lose any of your email data.

Be mindful that once an account is closed, within thirty (30) days any email messages remaining on our mail servers will be permanently deleted and so we highly recommend that you remain on auto billing.

Users are subject to a usage limit of 60 hours per month on the standard Personal VPN package. Unlimited usage is available with the advanced Business VPN package.
