With respect to the mobile application Programs (“Applications”), such license is limited to devices that you own or control.
1.2. In the case of the Programs, this Agreement grants the Licensee the right to use the Programs only under the following circumstances (and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including but not limited to Sections 8 and 12) — presuming that, in each case, the Licensee has accepted the license on each device where the Programs will be used:

1.3. Under no circumstances shall a license be granted for commercial use, or for corporate environments, without the express written consent of PSafe.
1.4.

PSafe and/or the Licensee may terminate this license agreement at any time, for any reason, upon written notice to the other party. In addition, PSafe may terminate this Agreement immediately in the event Licensee materially breaches any provision of this Agreement.

All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive, shall survive termination of this Agreement, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitation of liability.
1.5. You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Application and the Services is dependent on the third party from whom you received the Application license, e.g., Google Play and/or Apple App Store (either an “App Store”). You acknowledge that the Agreement is between you and PSafe and not with the App Store. PSafe, not the App Store, is solely responsible for the Application and Services, the content thereof, maintenance, support services, and warranty therefor, and addressing any claims relating thereto (e.g., product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property infringement). In order to use certain features of the Application, you must have access to a wireless network, and you agree to pay all fees associated with such access. You also agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App Store in connection with the Application and Services. You agree to comply with, and your license to use the Application is conditioned upon your compliance with, all applicable third-party terms of agreement (e.g., the App Store’s terms and policies) when using the Application and Services. You acknowledge that the App Store (and its subsidiaries) are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and will have the right to enforce them.
1.6. The “Identity Theft Report” Service allows the Licensee to submit an email address to determine whether any accounts associated with such email address has been compromised in a third-party data breach (“Data Breach”) for which PSafe has information regarding data compromised in such Data Breach (“Breached Data”). You acknowledge that you are solely responsible—and not PSafe—for all email addresses that you submit through the Identity Theft Report Service. For each email address that you submit, you represent and warrant that: (i) you have all necessary rights, licenses and consents to submit the email address; (ii) you control the account(s) associated with such email address; and (iii) your submission of such email address is not intended in any manner to harass, abuse, stalk, threaten, defame or otherwise infringe or violate the rights of any other party (including, but not limited to, use in employment decisions (hiring, firing, demotion, etc)). You acknowledge and agree that PSafe has no control over the Breached Data, that PSafe is not responsible for the availability of such data Breached Data and that PSafe does not endorse and is not responsible for any use of such Breached Data by third parties. Furthermore, you acknowledge and agree that PSafe shall not be responsible, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with (a) any Data Breach except to the extent required by laws, rules and regulations applicable to PSafe or (b) PSafe’s use of the Breached Data in order to offer the Identity Theft Report Service. PSafe does not guarantee that the Identity Theft Report Service includes all data from known or unknown Data Breaches, and reserves the right, in its sole discretion, not to confirm emails that may be found in certain Data Breaches that PSafe flags as “sensitive” (such as, but not limited to, breaches involving pornographic or “adult” sources, dating- or matchmaking-related sources, or health-care or drug-related sources). You acknowledge and agree that the Identity Theft Report Service is an auxiliary tool and does not replace the procedures that you should perform with law enforcement or other competent authorities if you suspect (or confirm) that your email address and/or other personal data has been exposed in a Data Breach.
To request that your email address (and any Breached Data associated with it that PSafe has obtained through the date of your request) be deleted from our systems, please contact support@psafe.com. You also may contact support@psafe.com to register an “opt-out” request that removes your email from visibility in Identity Theft Report searches, rather than permanently deleting it (to ensure that if the email address appears in information from subsequent Data Breaches obtained by PSafe, it does not become searchable again); note that an email address which is subject to an “opt-out” request may remain searchable by you alone if you complete a standard email verification process related to that specific email address.

2.1. You agree that the Programs, Services as well as the corresponding documentation, are the exclusive property of PSafe and its affiliates and suppliers. PSafe and its affiliates and suppliers will retain all right, title and interest in and to the foregoing, including all intellectual property rights therein, including but not limited to, the copyrights of the Programs, Services, documentation, and any other service or product granted to the Licensee by PSafe as part of this Agreement (unless otherwise noted).

The Programs and Services may invite the Licensee to participate in online forums, online messaging services or other features (such as, but not limited to, the dfndr vault “Private Cloud” service) that could lead the Licensee to create, post, submit, publish, transmit or distribute content including but not limited to text, photographs, graphics, drawings, comments, suggestions, data or other information (“User Generated Content”). You acknowledge that you are solely responsible—and not PSafe—for all User Generated Content that you make available, regardless of the tool, system or form of submission.

You understand that by using the Services, you may be exposed to content that you may consider offensive, indecent or objectionable. Under no circumstances will PSafe be liable for any User Generated Content posted by any other user of the Services, including any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any User Generated Content.

2.3.5. You agree that submission of any ideas, suggestions, documents, and/or proposals to PSafe, including via email (“Feedback”) is at your own risk and that PSafe has no obligations (including without limitation obligations of confidentiality) with respect to such Feedback. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit the Feedback. You hereby grant to PSafe a fully paid, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, and fully sublicensable right and license to use, reproduce, perform, display, distribute, adapt, modify, re-format, create derivative works of, and otherwise commercially or non-commercially exploit in any manner, any and all Feedback, and to sublicense the foregoing rights.
2.3.6. In addition to the limitations set forth in Section 1 with respect to the license to the Programs and Applications granted to you by this Agreement, you agree not to upload User Generated Content which is or includes material that: (i) is offensive, abusive, defamatory, pornographic or obscene, (ii) is illegal or promotes an illegal act of any kind, including violations of intellectual property rights, privacy or proprietary rights of PSafe or a third party, (iii) includes personal data of third parties or is intended to solicit such personal data, (iv) includes malicious content such as malware, Trojan horses or viruses, or otherwise interferes with the proper functioning of the Services or Programs or with any user’s access to the Services or Programs, (v) is intended to or does harass or bully any person, (vi) impersonates or misrepresents your identity or your affiliation with another user, person or entity, or is otherwise fraudulent, false, deceptive, or misleading (in which case, PSafe may at any time and in its sole discretion reclaim your username), (vii) uses automated means to artificially promote content, (viii) involves the transmission of unsolicited mass mailing (“spam”), junk mail, chain letters, or similar communications, (ix) involves commercial or sales activities such as advertising, contests, sweepstakes, or pyramid schemes, (x) interferes with or disrupts the Services or Programs, tampers with or attempts to prove, scan, or test for vulnerabilities in the Services or Programs or PSafe’s computer systems or network, or breaches any of PSafe’s security, encryption or authentication measures, (xi) harms or exploits people under the age of 18 (or such other age as determined by applicable law), or (xii) conflicts with this Agreement, in each case as determined by PSafe.
2.3.7. Whenever Licensee creates and populates a “shared album” or marks files to share with third-parties in the dfndr vault application, PSafe automatically will upload the User Generated Content (being shared) to servers managed by PSafe (located in the United States) to permit such sharing. Users of dfndr vault who accept an invitation to view such shared User Generated Content (or the user who posted the shared User Generated Content, if re-downloading to their own device) automatically will receive a download (in their dfndr vault application) of the files in their original sizes, which may incur data charges under the data plan of such user. PSafe shall not be responsible for any such data charges.
2.3.8. Starting on December 11, 2018, new users of dfndr vault will have their User Generated Content automatically replicated to the application’s “Private Cloud” service (on servers located in the United States, managed by PSafe) for backup and security purposes. This automatic replication can be disabled – and replicated files can be deleted from PSafe’s servers – by the user at any time in the dfndr vault settings. Files stored in the “Private Cloud” are encrypted and only can be viewed through the dfndr vault application. Only 1 (one) device per dfndr vault user login can be connected to the “Private Cloud” service at any given time (the “Private Cloud” service automatically will be connected to the device where a dfndr vault user most recently has logged in). Users of dfndr vault who registered before December 13, 2018 and previously connected their account to a Third-Party Storage Provider will have an option to choose between the “Private Cloud” or the Third-Party Storage Providers previously available.
2.3.09. New users of the dfndr vault application are placed into a free trial (for 30 consecutive calendar days) where they receive and can experiment with the features available to paying (subscriber) users. This free trial period ends after 30 consecutive calendar days, or when the user becomes a paying (subscriber) user, whichever comes first. As of the date of this Agreement above: (i) free users during the initial 30-day free trial period (each, a “free (trial) user”) and paying (subscriber) users have their use of the dfndr vault “Private Cloud” service (during the active period of their subscription) limited to files whose total size, in aggregate, does not exceed 5GB; (ii) free (non-subscriber) users who have surpassed the initial 30-day free trial period (each, a “free (non-trial) user”) have their use of the dfndr vault “Private Cloud” service limited to either (a) 25 files or (b) files whose total size, in aggregate, is less than 512MB, whichever limit first is reached. PSafe reserves the right to adjust these limits at its sole discretion.
2.3.10. If a free (non-subscriber) user of dfndr vault does not access the “Private Cloud” service during at least 12 consecutive months, or if a paying (subscriber) user of dfndr vault fails to make a payment by its deadline, PSafe reserves the right to suspend or terminate such user’s access to the “Private Cloud” service (which may include automatic deletion of files replicated to the “Private Cloud”). Furthermore, in the case of paying (subscriber) users of dfndr vault who either fail to make a payment or who cancel their subscription, PSafe reserves the right to downgrade the user account to a free (non-subscriber) tier – and such downgrade may include the automatic deletion of files above the free-tier limit for the “Private Cloud” service. Furthermore, with respect to free (non-trial) users, PSafe also reserves the right to downgrade the free (trial) account to a free (non-trial) tier with the limits described in Section 2.3.09 – and such downgrade may include the automatic deletion of files above the free (non-trial) user limit for the “Private Cloud” service. In any case where the downgrade includes loss of access to the “Private Cloud” or automatic deletion of files, PSafe will provide users with reasonable advance notice via the email address associated their dfndr vault accounts to remedy the (in)activity that prompted PSafe to contact the users, and will give users a reasonable opportunity to export their files from the “Private Cloud” service.
2.4. Certain software code incorporated into or distributed with the Programs and/or Services may be licensed by third parties under various “open-source” or “public-source” software licenses (such as the GNU General Public License, the GNU Lesser General Public License, the Apache License, the Berkeley Software Distribution License, and the MIT License) (collectively, the “Open Source Software”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Open Source Software is not licensed under Section 1 and instead is separately licensed pursuant to the terms and conditions of their respective open-source software licenses. Licensee agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of such open-source software license agreements.
2.5. You acknowledge and agree that certain of the Services rely on information we obtain from third parties (“Third Party Information”). To the extent that we are no longer able to obtain such Third-Party Information, you acknowledge and agree that all or portions of the Services may become unavailable. PSafe will not be liable to you for any such availability.
- Procedure for Making Claims of Copyright Infringement
3.1. PSafe respects the intellectual property rights of others and we ask our users to do the same. If you are a copyright owner and believe a user of the Programs or Services is infringing your copyright or the copyright of any third party, please notify our designated copyright agent in writing at the following address:
Attn: Copyright Agent
51 Desvio Court
Pacifica, CA 94044-4230
Email: copyright@psafe.com
3.2. Each notification must include the following information: (i) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed, (ii) a description of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works, (iii) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to permit PSafe to locate the material, (iv) information reasonably sufficient to permit PSafe to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, email address, (v) a written statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law, and (vi) a statement made under penalty of perjury that the information in the notification is accurate, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
3.3. The above process may be used to inform us of potential or suspected violations of other intellectual property rights, including unauthorized use of trademarked material.
3.4. We may remove User Generated Content and other content on the Services and Programs alleged to be infringing, and we reserve the right to terminate the right to use the Services and Programs of any user who infringes the intellectual property rights of another person or entity, in each case without prior notice and at our sole discretion.
- Backup Copy
When required by law, this Agreement authorizes the Licensee to make a backup copy of the Programs, provided that the Licensee retains with respect to such copy all the copyright and other proprietary notices.
- Changes to Products and Services
5.1. The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that, during the term of this Agreement and so that PSafe’s products may adapt to technological advances and be improved, PSafe may automatically send the Licensee an updated version of the Programs and/or products and/or Services that the Licensee already is using. PSafe may require Licensee to accept updates to such Programs and/or products and/or Services that Licensee has installed on Licensee’s device. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that PSafe may update such Programs and/or products and/or Services with or without notifying Licensee. Licensee may need to update third-party software from time to time in order to use such Programs and/or products and/or Services. Alternatively, PSafe may stop its development of the Program or product or Service used by the Licensee and replace it with others.
5.2. Any future release, update, or other addition to functionality of the Programs and/or products and/or Services, shall be subject to this Agreement, unless PSafe expressly states otherwise.
5.3. Similarly, should the present Agreement be terminated, in the case of updates to the Programs and products and Services, the Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the services and/or features of the Program or product or Service may have been modified in order to adapt to technological advances and, therefore, the Licensee will have to change to a new Program, product or version, according to the policy established by PSafe.
5.4. If the Licensee changes to a new version, a new Program, or product in order to update a previous version, the updated version, Program or product is the only one that the Licensee shall have the right to use, and the Licensee’s use of the new version, Program or product is conditioned on Licensee’s acceptance of the terms and conditions applicable to the new version, Program or product. By using the new version, Program or product, Licensee represents that Licensee has reviewed the applicable terms and conditions and agree to be bound by such terms and conditions. The Licensee is obligated, in such cases, to delete any materials corresponding to the previous version.
5.5. By accepting this Agreement, the Licensee accepts all such updates and modifications to the Services, Programs or products.

The Licensee accepts the sole responsibility for any loss and/or damage, including loss of User Generated Content and/or data, caused by possible incompatibilities, changes, errors, file deletions, malfunctions, and problems that may occur in the Licensee’s device as well as on their hardware, software, systems, applications, files, functions, code sequences and other programs, including but not limited to anti-virus programs and storage programs or services as a result of the use of the Programs or Services, or updates of the same, performed by the Licensee.
8.3. In no event, shall PSafe be responsible for any error or malfunction caused by elements external to the functionality of the licensed Programs, including hardware or software. PSafe also shall not be responsible in cases where the Programs or Services have been used in a different manner than specified by PSafe, or in any other abusive, negligent or inappropriate manner (including, but not limited to, use outside the recommended environment) or by third-party users of the license granted herein to the Licensee, whereby the Licensee shall be responsible for the use by such third parties and for all consequences resulting from such use.
8.4. PSafe’s Programs may provide, or third parties may provide, search results or other links to other sites on the Internet or other resources. As PSafe has no control over such sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that PSafe is not responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible for any content, advertising, products or other materials present or available from such sites or resources. The User acknowledges and agrees that PSafe shall not be responsible, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage caused or alleged caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on such content, goods or services available on or through any such site or resources, or for the collection of user data or information by such sites or resources.
8.5. PSafe guarantees neither the location, even if approximate, of Android devices that have dfndr security / PSafe DFNDR / DFNDR Security application installed, nor success in the search and location procedure. User acknowledges and agrees that the dfndr security / PSafe DFNDR / DFNDR Security application is an auxiliary tool and does not replace the procedures that the User should perform with law enforcement authorities, especially in case of robbery or theft of devices. On Android devices, the “Anti-Theft” features of the dfndr security / PSafe DFNDR / DFNDR Security application will not work if the respective application is not installed, updated, and active on the device. Even with these conditions, User acknowledges and agrees that the success of the “Anti-Theft” features depends on items under control of third-parties (including the User), that PSafe does not control or influence, such as (but not limited to): the device being powered on and/or with remaining battery power, an active connection between the device and the data network (including, in the case of paid networks, an active account with a positive balance linked to the device), and map data or other location information (which comes from third-party services) that may not be available in all areas or may contain incomplete or inaccurate data.
8.6. PSafe does not guarantee the recovery of content and/or data that is stored or transmitted through the Services. PSafe does not inspect the content and/or data that is stored or transmitted through the Programs and/or Services. It is the sole responsibility of the User to ensure that the content and/or data that is stored through the Programs and/or Services does not violate copyrights of third parties, and is not illegal or in breach of PSafe’s rules and policies. The User shall indemnify and hold harmless PSafe, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners and licensors from any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of the content of stored data.
8.7. PSafe neither guarantees to extend the battery usage of Android devices that use the dfndr battery Application, nor guarantees success of the procedures to extend the battery “life”. User acknowledges and agrees that the dfndr battery Application is an auxiliary tool and does not replace the standard procedures that the User should perform to extend battery usage. The features of the dfndr battery Application do not work if the Application is not installed, updated, and active on the device. Even with these conditions, User acknowledges and agrees that the success of dfndr battery features depends on items under the control of third-parties (including the User), that PSafe does not control or influence, such as (but not limited to): device activity (including making calls), temperature of the device and its environment, usage and quality of the GPS signal and/or other radios (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.), and the use of other applications on the device (even if they are open in the background).
8.8. You are responsible for the security of your password, PIN, pattern, fingerprint, and/or faceprint (“Passwords”) and for keeping your Account with the Programs and/or Services secure.

- Dispute Resolution.
Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with PSafe and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
14.1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Except where the language requiring arbitration in this Section 14 is explicitly prevented by applicable law, you agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Programs or Services, or to any aspect of your relationship with PSafe, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (2) you or PSafe may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).
IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH PSAFE, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST PSAFE ALLEGING CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS ON YOUR BEHALF. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST PSAFE IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING WHETHER TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
14.2. Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to: PSafe Tecnologia S.A., Caixa Postal 10900, Avenida Nossa Senhora de Copacabana 540, Loja A, AC Copacabana, 22020-970, Rio De Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/ all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/ . JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
14.3. Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and PSafe. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
14.4. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND PSAFE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and PSafe are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified herein. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
14.5. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER LICENSEE. In the event that this subparagraph is deemed invalid or unenforceable neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead claims and disputes shall be resolved in a court as set forth herein.
14.6. Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with PSafe.
14.7. Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if PSafe makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to PSafe.
14.8. Exclusive Venue. To the extent the parties are permitted under this Agreement to initiate litigation in a court, both you and PSafe agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California.
- General.
15.1. The Licensee knows and accepts that PSafe may pursue legal proceedings if the Licensee does not follow the terms of this Agreement. PSafe reserves the right to terminate automatically the current Agreement without notice if the Licensee fails to comply with any term or condition herein.
15.2. If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain enforceable and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
15.3. The Programs, Services and related technology may be subject to U.S. export control laws and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries. Licensee will not use, export, import, or transfer PSafe products, services or technology except as authorized by applicable laws. Licensee will comply with these laws and regulations and shall not, without prior government authorization of the applicable government entity, export, re-export, or transfer PSafe products, services or technology, either directly or indirectly, to any country in violation of such laws and regulations.
15.4. Where PSafe requires that Licensee provide an e-mail address, Licensee is responsible for providing PSafe with Licensee’s most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address Licensee provided to PSafe is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to Licensee any notices required/ permitted by this Agreement, PSafe’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. Licensee may give notice to PSafe at the address set forth below. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by PSafe by letter delivered by nationally recognized delivery service (i.e., FedEx or DHL) or first class postage prepaid mail at such address.
