for changes. In the event that a change to this Agreement materially
modifies your rights or obligations, we will make reasonable efforts to
notify you at least 30 days in advance of the effective date of such
change. We may provide notice through a pop-up or banner within the
Service, by sending an email to any address you may have used to pay for
the PROVPN Software Paid Service, or through other reasonable means.

4. User Content
4.1 User Content Generally. Certain features of the Service,
such as the PROVPN Software Help Desk, may permit users to post
content, including messages, reviews, data, text, and other materials
(collectively, "User Content") and to publish User Content on the
Service. You retain copyright and any other proprietary rights that you
may hold in the User Content that you post to the Service.
4.2 Limited License Grant to PROVPN. By posting or
publishing User Content, you grant PROVPN a worldwide, non-exclusive,
royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable right and license (with the right

media formats and through any media channels (now known or hereafter
developed) without any compensation paid to you.

solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting
or publishing User Content. By posting and publishing User Content, you
affirm, represent, and warrant that: (A) You are the creator and owner

use and to authorize PROVPN and users of the Service to use and
distribute your User Content as necessary to exercise the licenses
granted by you in this Section 4 and in the manner contemplated by PROVPN and this Agreement; and (B) your User Content, and the use thereof
as contemplated herein, does not and will not: (i) infringe, violate, or

be inaccurate, offensive, indecent or objectionable. You agree to waive,
and hereby do waive, any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have

fullest extent permitted by law, we expressly disclaim any and all
liability in connection with User Content. If notified by a user of the
Service or content owner that User Content allegedly does not conform to
this Agreement, we may investigate the allegation and determine in our
sole discretion whether to remove the User Content, which we reserve the
right to do at any time and without notice. For clarity, PROVPN does
not permit copyright-infringing activities on the Service.
5. The PROVPN Software
5.1 PROVPN Software License. The Service, including the
PROVPN Software, is licensed, not sold, to you. Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement, PROVPN grants you a
limited, revocable, nonexclusive, personal, nontransferable license
during the term of this Agreement to install and use one (1) copy of the
provided version of the PROVPN Software in object code format, to
access the Service for internal and personal purposes only. The PROVPN
Software is "in use" on a Device for purposes of this paragraph when it
is loaded into the temporary memory (e.g., RAM) or installed into the
permanent memory (e.g., hard disk, CD-ROM or other storage device) of a
Device.
5.2 PROVPN Software License Restrictions. You may not (and
may not allow a third party to) rent, lease, sublicense, sell, assign,
loan, use for timesharing or service bureau purposes or otherwise
transfer the PROVPN software or any of your rights and obligations
under this agreement. You may not (and may not allow a third party to):
(a) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or attempt to reconstruct,
identify or discover any source code, underlying ideas, underlying user
interface techniques or algorithms of the PROVPN Software by any means
whatsoever, except to the extent that such restriction is expressly
prohibited by applicable law; (b) remove or destroy any copyright
notices or other proprietary markings; (c) attempt to circumvent any use
restrictions; (d) modify or adapt the PROVPN Software, merge the PROVPN Software into another program or create derivative works based on
the PROVPN Software; or (e) use, copy or distribute the PROVPN
Software without PROVPN's written authorization, except that you may
make one (1) copy of the PROVPN Software for archival or backup
purposes only.
5.3 Content Restrictions. You may not (and may not allow a
third party to) copy, reproduce, capture, store, retransmit, distribute,
or burn to cd (or any other format) any copyrighted content that you
access or receive while using the PROVPN software or the service. You
assume all risk and liability for any such prohibited use of copyrighted
content.
5.4 Recurring Payments for Paid Service using PROVPN
Software.When you purchase a subscription to PROVPN's Paid Service in
connection with your use of the PROVPN Software, PROVPN will
automatically renew your subscription to the Paid Service at the end of
its initial term and at the end of each term thereafter. The renewal
term will be for the same period of time as the initial term. This
period of time is known as the Subscription Period. At the conclusion of
each subscription term, you will automatically be billed for the PROVPN Paid Service for a renewal subscription term lasting a period of
time equal to the Subscription Period. The PROVPN Paid Service fee is
non-refundable except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Taxes
may apply on the subscription fee. You agree to pay for the subscription
that you select for the Paid Service and you authorize us to
automatically charge the payment method our service provider has on file
for your recurring payments. If the payment mechanism (such as a credit
card) we have on file for you is declined for payment of your Paid
Service subscription fee, we may retry the payment mechanism at the same
or lower rate. If we do not obtain payment, your Paid Service
subscription will be canceled. If you provide us with a new form of
payment and are successfully charged within 30 days after the renewal
date, your new Paid Service subscription term will be based on the
original renewal date and not the date of the successful charge. If your
Paid Service is terminated, you may be entitled to a refund, subject to
limitations provided in Section 9 of this Agreement. You are
responsible to canceling your subscription regardless of whether you
receive any notice from PROVPN about the renewal of that subscription.
In the event that your payment mechanism expires prior to the renewal
date of your subscription, you are responsible for updating a new
payment mechanism in your PROVPN account before the renewal date of
your subscription to the Paid Service. To the fullest extent permitted
by law, PROVPN makes no representations or warranties about the
continued availability of any particular form of payment method made
available for use with the Service. Several methods of cancelling the
automatic renewal of your PROVPN Paid Service subscription are
available to you, and are described at the website
https://support.apple.com/en-us/ . Once you have cancelled your
automatic renewal, recurring subscription fees for PROVPN Paid Service
fees will no longer be charged to the payment method we have on file
for your account, and your subscription will remain active only until
the end of the term for which you have fully paid the PROVPN Paid
Service fee. Unless you notify us before a charge that you want to
cancel or do not want to auto renew, you understand your paid service
subscription will automatically renew periodically and you authorize us
to collect the then-applicable paid service subscription fee plus any
applicable taxes, using any payment method we have on record for you.
PROVPN currently uses third-party payment processors for electronic
commerce. Our third-party e-commerce payment processor accepts payments
through methods detailed on the applicable payment screen, which may
include various credit cards. By using such third-party payment
processors, you agree to their terms and conditions of use. Such third
parties may charge fees to process payments. We may, but are not
required to, pay certain fees at our sole discretion. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, PROVPN disclaims all liability with regard to
any fees or problems you have with third-party payment processors.
6. The Service

the Internet (a "Device") is required to utilize the Service. You are
solely responsible for ensuring that your Device is sufficient and
compatible for use with the Service. The speed and quality of the
Service may vary and the Service is subject to unavailability, including
emergencies, third party service failures, transmission, equipment or
network problems or limitations, interference, signal strength, and
maintenance and repair, and may be interrupted, refused, limited or

6.2 Denial of Access; PROVPN reserves the right to modify
or discontinue the Service at any time without notice. If you are a user
of the Paid Service, you may be entitled to a refund as described in
Section 9 below. PROVPN may deny access to the Service without any
prior notice if you breach this Agreement, and may terminate your use of
the Service as described in Section 9 below. You shall not allow any
third party to access the Service from your Device.
6.3 Trusted Publisher. As part of the Service, PROVPN may
install its own certificate on your Device as a Trusted Publisher (as
defined by your Internet browser). PROVPN reserves the right to make
future installs or updates to such certificates on your Device in
connection with providing the Service at any time without notice.

consent that PROVPN may deliver third party Advertisements to overlay a

that involve delivery of Advertisements or other monetization of the

third-party websites, services or content, or purchase products from
third parties, including without limitation through third-party payment
vendors while using the Paid Service, or through Advertisements while

third-party content provider. If you choose to visit or use any
third-party products or services, PROVPN policies and this Agreement
will not apply to your activities or any information you disclose while
using third-party products or services or otherwise interacting with
third parties. How third parties handle and use your personal
information related to their sites and services is governed by their
security, privacy and other policies, if any, and not our policies. PROVPN has no responsibility for any third party's policies, or any third
party's compliance with them.

term PROVPN includes the PROVPN entities.
13.2 "As is" and "As available" and "With All Faults". You
expressly agree that use of the service and the PROVPN software is at
your sole risk. The service, the PROVPN software and any data,
information, third-party PROVPN software, services, or applications
made available in conjunction with or through the service are provided
on an "as is" and "as available", "with all faults" basis and with no
assurances that the PROVPN software or the service will withstand
attempts to evade security mechanisms or that there will be no cracks,
bugs, disablements or other circumvention. PROVPN and the PROVPN
entities do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or free
of errors, viruses or other harmful components and do not warrant that
any of the foregoing will be corrected. You understand and agree that
you use, access, download the PROVPN software and otherwise obtain or
transmit materials, data, or other content while using the service at
your own discretion and risk.
14. Limitation Of Liability And Damages
The following provisions of this section 14 apply to the fullest extent permitted by law:
14.1 Limitation of Liability. Under no circumstances,
including, but not limited to, negligence, will PROVPN or the PROVPN
entities be liable for any special, indirect, incidental,
consequential, punitive, reliance, or exemplary damages (including
without limitation damages arising from any unsuccessful court action or
legal dispute, lost business, lost revenues, or loss of anticipated
profits or any other pecuniary or non-pecuniary loss or damage of any
nature whatsoever) arising out of or relating to this agreement or that
result from your use of or your inability to use the service or PROVPN
software, or any other interactions with PROVPN, even if PROVPN or
an PROVPN authorized representative has been advised of the
possibility of such damages.
14.2 Limitation of Damages. In no event will the total
liability of PROVPN or its affiliates, contractors, employees, agents,
or third-party partners, licensors, or suppliers to you for all
damages, losses, and causes of action arising out of or relating to this

in contract, tort including negligence, warranty, or otherwise), exceed
the amount paid by you, if any, for accessing the PROVPN software and
the service during the twelve months immediately preceding the date of
the claim or twenty five united states dollars, whichever is greater.

prices, and entered into this agreement in reliance upon the warranty
disclaimers and the limitations of liability set forth herein, that the
warranty disclaimers and the limitations of liability set forth herein
reflect a reasonable and fair allocation of risk between you and PROVPN, and that the warranty disclaimers and the limitations of liability
set forth herein form an essential basis of the bargain between you and
PROVPN. PROVPN would not be able to provide the service or the PROVPN software to you on an economically reasonable basis without these
limitations.
14.4 Consumer End Users (Outside of the USA). This Section
14.4 applies only if you reside and use the Service and PROVPN
Software outside of the United States. (A) Warranties. The limitations
or exclusions of warranties and liability contained in this Agreement do
not affect or prejudice the statutory rights of a consumer, i.e., a
person acquiring goods for solely personal use otherwise than in the
course of business outside of the U.S.A. The limitations or exclusions
of warranties, remedies or liability contained in this Agreement apply
to you to only the extent such limitations or exclusions are permitted
under the laws of the jurisdiction where you are located. (B) Data
Transfer. If You are accessing the Service from any region with laws or
regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure,
that differ from United States laws, please be advised that through your
continued use of the PROVPN Software and the Service, which are
governed by U.S. law and this Agreement, you may be transferring your
personal information to the United States and you consent to that
transfer.
15. Dispute Resolution And Arbitration
15.1 Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes
between you and PROVPN in the most expedient and cost effective
manner, you and PROVPN agree that any and all disputes arising out of
or relating in any way to this Agreement or your use of the Service
shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal
than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead
of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court,
and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can
award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement
to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising
out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in
contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal
theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the
termination of this Agreement. You understand and agree that, by
entering into this agreement, you and PROVPN are each waiving the
right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
15.2 Notwithstanding Section 15.1, you and PROVPN agree
that nothing herein shall be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise
limit either of our right to (i) bring an inidual action in small claims
court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal,
state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek a
temporary restraining order or preliminary injunctive relief in a court
of law in aid of arbitration, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to
address intellectual property infringement claims.
16. Miscellaneous
16.1 Notice. PROVPN may provide you with notices,
including those regarding changes to this Agreement, by posting the
notice through the Service. Notice will be deemed given twenty-four
hours after posting.
16.2 Waiver. The failure of PROVPN to exercise or enforce
any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of
such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement
will be effective only if in writing and signed by PROVPN.
16.3 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California,
without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law except
payments disputes filed by customer's domiciled in the European
Community or Switzerland will be treated according to Swiss law.
16.4 Jurisdiction. You agree that in the event of a dispute
that is not subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 15, or if Section
15 is found to be unenforceable, any action at law or in equity arising
out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or PROVPN will be
filed only in the state or federal courts located in the City and County
of San Francisco, California, and You hereby consent and submit to the
personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of
litigating any such action.
16.5 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is
held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that
provision will be limited or eliminated from this Agreement to the
minimum extent necessary and will not affect the validity and
enforceability of any remaining provisions.
16.6 Assignment. This Agreement, and any rights and licenses
granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may
be assigned by PROVPN without restriction. Any assignment attempted to
be made in violation of this Agreement shall be void.
16.7 Survival. Upon termination or expiration of this
Agreement for any reason, the following provisions will survive such
termination or expiration: Sections 4.2, 5.3, and 10 through 16.
16.8 Headings. The heading references herein are for
convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of the terms of this
