These Terms of Use are effective until terminated. Virtru may terminate or suspend your use of the Site at any time and without prior notice, including if Virtru believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Use. Upon any such termination or suspension, your right to use the Site will immediately cease, and Virtru may, without liability to you or any third party, immediately deactivate or delete your user name and account, and all associated materials, without any obligation to provide any further access to such materials. Those provisions that by their nature should survive expiration or termination of these Terms of Use shall survive the termination of these Terms of Use.
Portions of the Services may be accompanied by additional terms (including, in the case of paying customers, the terms of a Virtru Pro Subscription Agreement) which apply to specific features or areas of the Services. Those additional terms supplement these Terms of Use with respect to your use of those features or areas.
Virtru may update these Terms of Use by notifying you of such updates by any reasonable means, including by posting revised Terms of Use through the Site. Any such updates will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we posted the revised Terms of Use incorporating such updates, or otherwise notified you of such updates. Your use of the Site following any updates to these Terms of Use will constitute your acceptance of such updates. The “Last Updated” legend above indicates when these Terms of Use were last changed. We may, at any time and without liability, modify or discontinue all or part of the Site (including access to the Site via any third-party links); charge, modify or waive any fees required to use the Site; or offer opportunities to some or all Site users.
The Site is controlled or operated (or both) from the United States, and is not intended to subject Virtru to any non-U.S. jurisdiction or law. The Site may not be appropriate or available for use in some non-U.S. jurisdictions. Any use of the Site is at your own risk, and you must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in doing so. We may limit the Site’s availability at any time, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction that we choose.
If you have a question or complaint regarding the Site, please send an e-mail to info@virtru.com. You may also contact us by writing to 1130 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 210, Washington, DC, 20036. Please note that e-mail communications will not necessarily be secure; accordingly you should not include credit card information or other sensitive information in your e-mail correspondence with us. California residents may reach the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by mail at 1625 North Market Blvd., Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (916) 445-1254 or (800) 952-5210.
You are responsible for complying with United States export controls and for any violation of such controls, including any United States embargoes or other federal rules and regulations restricting exports. You represent, warrant and covenant that you are not (a) located in, or a resident or a national of, any country subject to a U.S. government embargo or other restriction, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country; (b) on any of the U.S. government lists of restricted end users.
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.
