  7. Term and Termination
    1. Term. This Agreement shall commence on the date you accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement and, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, shall continue in full force and effect during such time that you continue to use the Materials or access or use the Virtru Service.

Neither party shall be liable to the other for damages of any kind solely as a result of terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms, and termination of this Agreement by a party shall be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of such party under this Agreement or applicable law.
  8. Arbitration
    1. This Agreement and all matters arising out or relating thereto will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (but expressly excluding the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (“UCITA”) as enacted in Virginia) without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (excluding UCITA) to the rights and duties of the parties. all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury and you agree that Company and you are each waiving the right to trial by a jury. However, as set forth below, the preceding arbitration requirement shall not apply to disputes to the extent relating to the interpretation or application of the class action waiver below, including its enforceability, revocability or validity.
    2. YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or any other provision of this Agreement or in the American Arbitration Association’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, disputes regarding the enforceability, revocability or validity of the foregoing class action waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action, and (2) there is a final judicial determination that all or part of such class action waiver is unenforceable, then the class, collective, and/or representative action, to that extent, must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of such class action waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.
    3. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by this Agreement. The Consumer Arbitration Rules are available online at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by Virtru that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the American Arbitration Association or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. Notwithstanding this, Virtru will still be allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against Virtru for you.

    1. The Materials, the Virtru Service, and any Derivatives thereof are “commercial items” as defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (“Commercial Items”).

This U.S. Government End User Rights clause is in lieu of, and supersedes, any Federal Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”), the Defense FAR Supplement (“DFARS”), or other clause or provision that addresses U.S. Government rights in computer software or technical data.

You may not assign, sublicense or otherwise transfer any right or obligation set forth in this Agreement without Virtru’s prior written consent. Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding will be void and of no effect. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon the parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns. If a provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions hereof will remain in full force and effect and such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible so as to effect the intent of the parties. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right, power or remedy will operate as a waiver of such right, power or remedy, and no waiver will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the waiving party. If either party waives any right, power or remedy, such waiver will not waive any successive or other right, power or remedy the party may have under this Agreement.

If you are protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), you agree to request a Business Associate Agreement (“HIPAA BAA”) by emailing baa@virtru.com in order to enter into an agreement with Virtru to support the requirements of HIPAA and the parties’ compliance requirements thereunder.

General Terms

These Terms of Use do not create a partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between you and us. No failure or delay by Virtru in exercising any right hereunder shall constitute a waiver of such right.

These Terms of Use are governed by laws of the State of Delaware, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The sole jurisdiction and venue for any claim arising from the Services and these Terms of Use shall be the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, and each party hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts. These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements or understandings between you and Virtru relating to such subject matter. Notices to you (including notices of changes to these Terms of Use) may be made via posting to the Site or by e-mail (including in each case via links), or by regular mail. Without limitation, a printed version of these Terms of Use and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. Virtru will not be responsible for any failure to fulfill any obligation due to any cause beyond its control.

If a court having proper authority decides that any portion of these Terms of Use is invalid, only the part that is invalid will not apply. The rest of these Terms of Use will still be in effect. If we waive any of our rights under these Terms of Use in any particular instance, it does not mean that we are waiving our rights generally or in the future. Furthermore, just because we may not enforce all our rights all of the time, it does not mean that we are waiving our rights. We may decide to enforce them at a later date. These Terms of Use, and any rights and licenses granted under these Terms of Use, may not be transferred or assigned by you (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without Virtru’s prior written consent, but may be assigned by us without restriction.
