2.2 Limitations.

2.2.1. General.  You will not, and will not permit any third party to, (i) use any license key, username/password combination or other authorization code or number supplied by AVG in connection with any Solution on more than the number of Devices specified by the Applicable Conditions, (ii) disclose any license key, username/password combination or other authorization code or number to any party other than AVG or AVG designated representatives, (iii) except as expressly authorized by law, (A) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, translate, reconstruct, transform or extract any Solution or any portion of the Solution (including without limitation any related malware signatures and malware detection routines), or (B) change, modify or otherwise alter any Solution (including without limitation any related malware signatures and malware detection routines), (iv) publish, resell, distribute, broadcast, transmit, communicate, transfer, pledge, rent, share or sublicense any Solution, (v) grant any third party access to or use of any Solution on a service bureau, timesharing, subscription service or application service provider or other similar basis, (vi) test or benchmark, or disclose or publish testing or benchmark results, for any AVG Solution without AVG’s prior written consent (which you may request at https://www.avg.com/benchmarking), or (vii) defeat or circumvent, attempt to defeat or circumvent, or authorize or assist any third party in defeating or circumventing controls on the installation or use of copies of any Solution.

2.2.3 Administrator Rights. Certain Solutions grant you or another user administrative privileges that, among other things, may allow the administrator to monitor other Devices and/or the status of Solutions deployed on other Devices, including for example subscription status, Solution notifications and messages.  You represent and warrant that you will exercise administrator privileges only with respect to Devices and Solutions for which you are authorized and for no other purpose.  You also represent and warrant that you have the authority to accept this Agreement on behalf of owners and users of those administered Devices, and hereby accept this Agreement on their behalf.
2.2.4 Warning. IF YOU USE ANY SOLUTION FOR PURPOSES OR IN A MANNER NOT AUTHORIZED BY THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE COMMITTING A MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT AND MAY VIOLATE APPLICABLE COPYRIGHT LAWS, AND ALL WARRANTIES PROVIDED BY AVG FOR THE SOLUTION WILL TERMINATE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING YOUR BREACH.

2.3 Third Party Fees. You may incur access fees or data or usage fees from third parties (such as your Internet provider or mobile carrier) in connection with your use of a Solution. For instance, you may incur such fees if you use the Solution and it downloads Updates including malware definitions. You are responsible for all such fees.

2.4 Updates. AVG, from time to time during the Subscription Term and, without your separate permission or consent, may deploy Updates for any Solution, and you may not be able to use the applicable Solution or Device (or certain functions of the Device) until the Update is fully installed.  Updates will be deemed a part of the Solution for all purposes under this Agreement.  Updates may include both additions to and removals of particular functionality offered by a Solution or may replace it entirely, and the content and functionality of such updates is at the sole discretion of AVG. AVG or your Device may offer you the option to decline or delay Updates, but you must download and permit installation of all available Updates to obtain maximum benefit from the Solution. AVG may stop providing support for a Solution until you have accepted and installed all Updates. AVG will determine when and if Updates are appropriate and has no obligation to make any Updates available to you.  AVG in its sole discretion may stop providing Updates for any version of the Solution other than the most current version, or Updates supporting use of the Solution in connection with any versions of operating systems, email programs, browser programs and other software with which the Solution is designed to operate.

2.5 Conflicting Functionality and Uninstallation. Certain Software, during its installation, may disable existing functionality, such as a firewall, and replace it with functionality provided with the Solution. If you uninstall the Solution, you may be prompted to activate other software.  AVG strongly advises you to activate such other software as prompted once the Solution has been uninstalled.  Some third-party applications may not allow the Solutions to install or run correctly.  If you choose to ignore the warnings provided during the installation of the Solution, such Solutions may not function properly, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, AVG disclaims any and all warranties and liability with respect to such Solutions.  Additionally, AVG does not support third-party applications which provide uninstallation functionality for our Solutions as they may cause further problems for the end user.  Should you choose to use such third-party uninstallers, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, AVG disclaims any and all warranties and liability with respect to such Solutions.

2.6 User Comments. AVG welcomes your comments concerning Solutions, including notice that you have experienced a failure, error or other malfunction, and suggestions for additional or different features and functions.  Please send us your comments and suggestions using the web form located at https://www.avg.com/feedback-entry.  AVG accepts no obligation to respond or act on any such comments or suggestions and this invitation to comment does not constitute any admission of liability or product failure of a Solution, but you grant AVG a perpetual, irrevocable, transferrable, sublicensable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide right and license under your intellectual property rights (if any) to use, copy, record, distribute, reproduce, disclose, sell, re-sell, sublicense (through multiple levels), modify, display, publicly perform, transmit, publish, broadcast, translate, make derivative works of, and otherwise exploit in any manner whatsoever your comments and suggestions in any Solution and other products and services.
 

2.7 User Content. Certain Solutions may enable you to publish or share publicly with others content you have generated or obtained from other sources (“User Content”).  You retain any and all intellectual property rights you already hold under applicable law in User Content you publish or share through the Solution, subject to the rights, licenses, and other terms of this Agreement, including any underlying rights of others in any User Content that you may use or modify. You grant to AVG, a non-exclusive, unrestricted, unconditional, unlimited, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, and cost-free right and license to use, copy, record, distribute, reproduce, disclose, sell, re-sell, sublicense (through multiple levels), modify, display, publicly perform, transmit, publish, broadcast, translate, make derivative works of, and otherwise exploit in any manner whatsoever, all or any portion of the User Content you publish or share through a Solution (and derivative works thereof), solely for the purpose of providing the Solutions to you under this Agreement. Each time you publish or share any User Content, you represent and warrant that you are at least the age of majority in the state in which you reside and are the parent or legal guardian, or have all proper consents from the parent or legal guardian, of any minor who is depicted in or contributed to any User Content you publish or share, and that, in regard to that User Content, (a) you are the sole author and owner of the intellectual property and other rights to the User Content, or you have a lawful right to publish and share the User Content and grant AVG the right to use it as described in this Section, all without any AVG obligation to obtain consent of any third party and without creating any obligation or liability of AVG; (b) the User Content is accurate; (c) the User Content does not and, as to AVG’s permitted uses and exploitation set forth in this Agreement, will not infringe any intellectual property or other right of any third party; and (d) the User Content will not violate this Agreement or cause injury or harm to any person.  

3. SUBSCRIPTION EXTENSIONS, TERMINATION.

To the extent you purchased your license directly from AVG under a separate written agreement or from an AVG business partner you are paying directly for your Solution, this provision and refund terms set forth in this Agreement may not apply to you.  Please refer to your written agreement for subscription periods, renewals and refunds information.
 

3.1.    Subscription Extensions.  At the end of any Subscription Term, your subscription may extend for successive terms (each, an “Extension Term”) in accordance with this Section 3.1. If, under the Applicable Conditions for a given Solution, the Subscription Term automatically extends for an additional month, year or a similar consecutive time period, AVG may provide you with a notice that includes instructions on how to cancel your subscription at the end of the current Subscription Term.  You may cancel your subscription at the end of the Subscription Term by following the instructions in the notice.  You may also cancel your subscription at any time during the Subscription Term by visiting https://myaccount.avg.com/my-account-login.  Canceling your subscription will stop recurring fees going forward, but will not retroactively refund current payments, and you will retain access to your paid-for Solutions until the end of the then-current Subscription Term.  If you do not cancel the subscription, AVG will charge your credit card or debit card within a reasonable time prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Term for the then-current extension fee (which may be higher than the price you initially paid) and, on receipt of payment, will extend the Subscription Term for the applicable Extension Term.

3.2.    Refunds.  

3.2.1. For Mobile Solutions.  The quickest way to obtain a refund on a Mobile Solution is to follow the process established by the Mobile App Store from which you purchased the Solution.  If the Mobile App Store does not honor your refund request, but you are otherwise within 30 days of your initial purchase, you may be able to return your Mobile Solution for a refund of all amounts paid (other than for in-app purchases or subscriptions) by following the instructions at https://www.avg.com/billing.

3.2.2. Other Solutions.  Certain other Solutions may be eligible for return and refund.  Please see https://www.avg.com/billing.

3.3. Payment Information.  In an effort to ensure your use of a Solution is not interrupted, AVG may participate in recurring billing programs or account updated services.  If your Subscription Term automatically extends and AVG is unable to charge the credit card or debit card AVG has on file for you, AVG at its option may obtain an updated card number, expiration date or other updated payment information from your bank or another source, or your card issuer may automatically charge your card without notifying AVG or you.  If you wish to use PayPal to purchase a subscription, you must open an account with PayPal and abide by the terms of service of PayPal, which can be found here.

3.4. Termination. AVG, in addition to such other rights as may be available at law, in equity or otherwise, may terminate your license to any or all Solutions without liability (i) for convenience on five (5) days’ prior notice, provided that AVG, in its sole discretion, shall for paid Solutions, either (a) refund to you the fees you paid to AVG in respect of the unexpired portion of the applicable Subscription Term, pro-rated over the applicable Subscription Term, or (b) grant a license for a substantially similar product for the remainder of the Subscription Term, or (ii) for cause at any time without notice.  For the avoidance of doubt, for Free Solutions and Beta Solutions, AVG shall have no further obligation to you beyond providing five (5) days’ prior notice to terminate for convenience in accordance with this Section, and shall have no obligation to provide notice in the case of a termination for cause.

3.5. Effect of Termination. On the expiration of the applicable Subscription Term for any relevant Solution or termination of the Subscription Term for any relevant Solution or this Agreement, you shall cease using the relevant Solutions, AVG may cease making Updates available to you, and the relevant Solution may cease functioning. Sections 1, 2.6, 2.7, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

4. SPECIAL TERMS FOR MOBILE APPS.

4.1. General.  

4.1.1. Purchase of Solutions Through a Mobile App Store.  Each Mobile App Store posts the terms on which it sells Solutions to you, including the terms on which the Mobile App Store may (or may not) accept returns or grant refunds of the purchase price you pay.  You should review those terms carefully before making your purchase.
4.1.2. Use of Solutions.  At the same time, this Agreement, not the standard end user license or other terms made available to you by a Mobile App Store, governs your use of all Solutions.  Each Mobile App Store, though, requires that AVG make certain disclosures and disclaimers, all of which provided in the remainder of this Section 4.

4.2. Solutions Downloaded from the Google Play Store.  The Google Play Store means the Mobile App Store available through a Device and at http://play.google.com (“Google Play Store”).  For the avoidance of doubt, the license granted in Section 2.1 of the Agreement is in lieu of any rights to use a Solution that would otherwise be granted by the default terms for applications downloaded from the Google Play Store.

4.3. Solutions Downloaded from an Apple App Store.  The following additional terms apply for any Solution acquired through the iTunes App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/us/genre/ios/id36?mt=8) and the Mac App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/us/genre/mac/id39?mt=12) (each, an “Apple App Store”):

4.3.1. The licenses granted by Section 2.1 are limited to a non-transferable license to use the Solution on any iPhone, iPod Touch or other Apple-powered Device that you own or control and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple App Stores Terms of Service, available online at http://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html or through such sites and other means made available to you by Apple.
4.3.2. AVG and you acknowledge and agree that:

(a)    This Agreement is concluded solely between the parties, and not with Apple.  AVG, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Solutions and the content thereof.
(b)    Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Solution.
(c)    If the Solution fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the Solution to you.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Solution, and that, as between you, AVG and Apple, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be AVG’s sole responsibility.
(d)    AVG, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Solution or your possession and/or use of that Solution, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Solution fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
(e)    In the event of any third party claim that the Solution or your possession and use of that Solution infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, AVG, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
(f)    Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and, on your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third party beneficiary.

4.4. Solutions Downloaded from the Windows Phone Store.

4.4.1. You are permitted to download and run the Solution on up to five (5) Windows phone Devices associated with your Microsoft account without payment of any additional fees.  
4.4.2. Neither Microsoft nor the manufacturer of your Device has any responsibility or liability to you with respect to the Solution.
4.4.3. The Solution may connect to Internet-based wireless services. Your use of the Solution operates as your consent to the transmission of standard Device information (including but not limited to technical information about your Device, system and application software, and peripherals) for Internet-based or wireless services.  If other terms are provided in connection with your use of the services, those terms also apply.
4.4.4. You may not use any Internet-based service in any way that could harm it or impair anyone else's use of it or the wireless network. You may not use the service to try to gain unauthorized access to any service, data, account or network by any means.
4.4.5. No Express Warranty.  THE WARRANTIES PROVIDED BY SECTION 7.1 SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY MOBILE SOLUTIONS RUNNING THE WINDOWS PHONE.  THE DISCLAIMER UNDER SECTION 7.3 SHALL BE AMENDED BY DELETING “EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED BY SECTION 7.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT,”.

4.5. Solutions Downloaded from the Amazon Appstore.  Amazon may designate certain customer terms of use for the Amazon Appstore as “Default EULA Terms.” Those Default EULA Terms will apply to your use of Solutions you buy through the Amazon Appstore. The Default EULA Terms will specify, among other things, that AVG is the licensor of the Solution and Amazon is not a party to this Agreement.  If there are any conflicts between the Default EULA Terms and this Agreement, then to the extent of such conflict the Default EULA Terms will control. Amazon does not have any responsibility or liability related to compliance or non-compliance by AVG or you with the Default EULA Terms.

 

5. THIRD PARTY MATERIALS; THIRD PARTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

AVG, directly or through a Solution, may present links to or offers for Third Party Materials, all of which are controlled by third parties and most of which are subject to Third Party Terms and Conditions.  Please read those conditions carefully before accepting them. AVG is not responsible for the content or performance of any such Third Party Materials, does not warrant or endorse any such Third Party Materials or assume or have any liability whatsoever to you or any third party with respect to such Third Party Materials.  If you access, download or use such Third Party Materials, you do so entirely at your own risk.
 

6. OWNERSHIP.

6.1 AVG reserves all rights in the Solutions not expressly granted by this Agreement.  All copyrights, trademarks and other conceivable intellectual property rights in and to the Solution (including, but not limited to, malware signatures and other data files, images appearing in the Solution and screen displays as well as any and all documentation relating to the Solution) are owned by AVG or its licensors, and are protected by United States and foreign copyright laws, international treaties and other applicable laws. Any copy of a Solution you are permitted to create pursuant to this Agreement must contain the entire copyright notice and other notices included with the original copy of the Solution.

6.2 Any trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names or other distinctive brand features used with, on or relating to any third party products or services including Third Party Materials available on or through a Solution are the property of the third party providers or their respective licensors. 

 

7. WARRANTIES.

7.1 General. Except as provided by Section 7.2, AVG represents with respect to each Solution that, on delivery of the Solution and for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter (i) the medium (if any) on which the Solution is delivered will be free of material defects, and (ii) subject to Section 7.3, the Solution will conform to the description, if any, set forth in the Applicable Conditions and/or the Technical Specifications.  The foregoing warranty applies only to the Solution as originally delivered, and does not apply to Updates or defects caused by the combination, operation or use of the Solution with software, hardware or other materials not provided by AVG, or by Devices, software, or other materials that do not conform to AVG requirements set forth in the Technical Specifications. Your sole and exclusive remedy for breach of the warranty in this Section 7.1 is replacement of the defective media or Solution or, at AVG’s option, return of the Solution for a full refund.  In order to exercise your rights under this Section 7.1, you must uninstall and destroy all copies of the Solution you may have made (including all archival copies), and follow the instructions at https://www.avg.com/billing.

7.3 DISCLAIMER.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED BY SECTION 7.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT, AVG PROVIDES EACH SOLUTION ON AN “AS IS,” “WITH ALL FAULTS,” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND AVG AND ITS GROUP COMPANIES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, REPRESENTATIVES, SUPPLIERS, DISTRIBUTORS, RESELLERS, WIRELESS CARRIERS OVER WHOSE NETWORK THE SOLUTION IS PROVIDED, OR OTHER BUSINESS PARTNERS AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE GROUP COMPANIES, REPRESENTATIVES, VENDORS, AGENTS AND SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE SOLUTIONS, MEDIA AND ANY OTHER SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHETHER GIVEN BY ANY THIRD PARTY LICENSORS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF NONINFRINGEMENT. AVG DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOLUTIONS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE, THAT THE SOLUTIONS WILL WORK PROPERLY ON ANY GIVEN DEVICE OR WITH ANY PARTICULAR CONFIGURATION OF HARDWARE AND/OR SOFTWARE, OR THAT THE SOLUTIONS WILL PROVIDE COMPLETE PROTECTION FOR THE INTEGRITY OF SELECTED DATA, INFORMATION OR CONTENT STORED OR TRANSMITTED VIA THE INTERNET.  
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on certain warranties, so the above limitations may not apply to you. You may have other rights that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

7.4 Hazardous Environments. Solutions are not designed or licensed for use in hazardous environments, including without limitation operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation systems, aircraft communication systems, air traffic control, life support or weapons systems and any other environment in which bodily injury or death could result from failure of or inability to use any Solution.  Without limiting the provisions of Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of this Agreement, AVG and its licensors hereby disclaim any express or implied warranties of fitness for such purposes or uses.

11. BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

11.1. Application. This Binding Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver applies to any Dispute arising from or related to a Solution or this Agreement and involving you and AVG and/or its Group Companies.  “Dispute,” for purposes of this Section 11, means any dispute, action, or other controversy regardless of the particular cause of action(s) asserted (i.e., it encompasses, among any other potential cause of action or legal basis, claims for breach of contract, fraud, and violation of statute or regulation).

11.2. Notice. In the event of a Dispute, you must provide AVG with a notice of Dispute, which is a written statement of the name, address and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested.  You must send any Notice of Dispute by email to AVG at legalnotice@avg.com (stating Subject: Section 11.2 Notice of Dispute Under EULA).

11.3. CLASS ACTION WAIVER. ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU WILL NOT SEEK TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE COMBINED WITH ANOTHER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ALL AFFECTED ARBITRATIONS OR PROCEEDINGS. 

11.4. Agreement to Arbitrate. If you and AVG do not resolve any Dispute by informal negotiation, any other effort to resolve the Dispute will be conducted exclusively by binding arbitration governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq, except as provided in Sections 11.5 and 11.8.2, below.  Except as provided in Sections 11.5 and 11.8.2, you are giving up the right to litigate (or participate in litigation as a party or class member) all Disputes in court before a judge or jury.  Instead, all Disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right to judicial review under the FAA.  Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award.

11.5. Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate.

11.5.1. Small Claims Court. You may litigate any Dispute in small claims court, in the county or other similar political subdivision in which you reside, if the Dispute meets all requirements to be heard in the small claims court. If you initiate a claim in small claims court, you are responsible for all court costs and fees.
11.5.2. Intellectual Property. All Disputes concerning any alleged misappropriation of your or AVG's intellectual property, including any Disputes concerning Section 6 of this Agreement, will be resolved in court.

11.6. Arbitration Procedures. Any arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s “Consumer Arbitration Rules” effective September 1, 2014, including the “Costs of Arbitration (Including AAA Administrative Fees)” effective September 1, 2014 (collectively, the “Consumer Procedures”). 

11.6.1. Arbitration Costs. The Consumer Procedures provide for certain fees, specifically allocating some to the consumer (you) and others to the business (AVG). If your claim is US$75,000 or less, AVG will pay all of those specified fees and costs, including those allocated to the consumer. AVG does not agree to bear any other costs. If your claim is more than US$75,000, the Consumer Procedures will govern payment.
11.6.2. Laws And Rules Governing Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 11.8, the AAA's Consumer Procedures shall be applied to any Dispute between the parties.  However, pursuant to Consumer Arbitration Rule R-1(e), a party may raise the proper application of the Consumer Arbitration Rules to an arbitrator for a final decision. This Agreement governs to the extent it conflicts with the Consumer Procedures. In ruling on a Dispute, the neutral arbitrator will apply the terms of this Agreement and the laws of the State of Delaware. You will commence arbitration only in the county or other similar political subdivision in which you reside.  The arbitration proceedings will be conducted by conference call. However, if the proceedings are conducted pursuant to the AAA Consumer Procedures, the arbitrator(s) shall have the discretionary authority to require a face-to-face hearing upon the request of a party.
11.6.3. AAA Not Integral To Agreement To Arbitrate. You and AVG agree that the use of the AAA to administer arbitration is not integral to the parties' agreement to arbitrate Disputes. If the AAA will not or cannot conduct an arbitration, you and AVG shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a sole arbitrator who shall resolve the Dispute as provided in the Consumer Procedures. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, a court of competent jurisdiction may appoint an arbitrator, who shall follow the AAA's Consumer Procedures.

11.7 Severability.  If one or more parts of Section 11 are found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a Dispute, then, and only in that circumstance, those parts will be severed and the Dispute will be resolved subject to all remaining parts of Section 11 and all other provisions of this Agreement. If such severance results in all or some parts of a Dispute proceeding in a court of law, exclusive jurisdiction for any such court proceeding shall be the state or federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware.  For purposes of any such court proceeding, you consent to, and will not challenge, the Delaware courts’ personal jurisdiction over you, and you further waive objection based upon improper venue or forum non conveniens and will not seek transfer to another district or jurisdiction.

11.8.  Business Customers Disputes.  If you purchased a Solution for other than personal or household use, all Disputes will be subject to Sections 11.1 through 11.7, with the following exceptions:

11.8.1. Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration proceedings, including the payment of costs, will be administered in accordance with the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "Commercial Procedures"). The Commercial Procedures are appropriately applied to any Dispute between the parties, and you will not advocate otherwise in any proceeding. However, this Agreement governs to the extent it conflicts with the Commercial Procedures.
11.8.2. Section 13.6. Disputes concerning Section 13.6, which relates to certain business products, will be resolved in court.

 

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

12.1. Notice. AVG may at any time deliver any notice to you via electronic mail, pop-up window, dialog box or other means, even though in some cases you may not receive the notice unless and until you launch a Solution.  Any such notice will be deemed delivered on the date AVG first makes it available through a Solution, irrespective of when you actually receive it.

12.2. Choice of Law. The construction, validity and performance of this Agreement and all non-contractual obligations arising from or connected with this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S. excluding its conflict of laws principles.

12.3. Interpretation. The headings in this Agreement do not affect its interpretation.  The use of any gender includes all genders.  The singular includes the plural and vice-versa. Where a word or phrase is defined, its other grammatical forms have a corresponding meaning.  

12.4. Severability. Should any provisions of this Agreement be deemed illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any applicable laws and regulations, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

12.5. Impossibility. AVG shall be not liable for any failure or delay in performance due in whole or in part to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to utility or transmission failures, failure of phone lines or phone equipment, power failure, strikes or other labor disturbances (including without limitation a strike or other labor disturbance arising in respect of AVG and its Group Companies, agents, licensors, representatives, suppliers, distributors, resellers and other business partners), acts of war or terror, floods, sabotage, fire, natural or other disasters or Acts of God.

12.6. Waiver. The failure of either party to insist on the strict performance of any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of future compliance with the Agreement, and the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.  No waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement on the part of either party shall be effective for any purpose whatsoever unless such waiver is in writing and signed by such party.  The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not be construed as a continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of other breaches of the same or of other provisions of this Agreement.

12.7. Assignment. You may not assign your rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of AVG. AVG may assign this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion without any prior written consent by you.

12.8. Construction. This Agreement will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded.  In the event that an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the terms of this Agreement shall be construed as having been drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

12.9. U.S. Government License. Any Solution provided to the U.S. Government is provided with the commercial license rights and restrictions described elsewhere herein. AVG reserves all unpublished rights under the United States copyright laws.

12.10. Complete Agreement. This Agreement, including its Applicable Conditions, Technical Specifications, Privacy Policy and other documents referred to in this Agreement, constitutes the complete Agreement between the parties and supersedes all previous communications and representations or agreements, either oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(c) Passwords.  AVG strongly advises that, once a Personal Support session is complete, you change any password you disclosed to AVG in the course of the session.
13.3.4. Privacy.  This Section 13.3.4 should be read in conjunction with the AVG Privacy Policy and Cookie statement.

(d) AVG may disclose the collected information if asked to do so by a law enforcement official as required or permitted by law or in response to a subpoena or other legal process.
