Version 1.12 (Revised June 1, 2020)

End User License Agreement

Please read the terms and conditions of this End User License Agreement (“Agreement”) carefully before you use the Solution (as defined below). This is a legally binding contract. By assenting electronically, or installing the Solution or using the Solution, you accept all the terms and conditions of this Agreement on behalf of yourself and any entity or individual you represent or for whose Device you acquire the Solution (collectively “you”). If you do not agree with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, do not continue the installation process, do not use the Solution and delete or destroy all copies of the Solution in your possession or control.

This Agreement relates to your use of certain software (“Software”), services or hardware and related firmware, including any Updates (each, a “Solution”) in connection with which you are accepting this Agreement, and any related Documentation. In this Agreement, “Vendor” means the entity identified here as providing the Solution to you; “Documentation” means any user manuals and instructions provided with the Solution; and “Applicable Conditions” means collectively the Subscription Period together with the types of Devices, Permitted Number of Devices, other transaction terms, conditions and documents you accepted when you acquired the Solution (including any terms and conditions of sale), and any distribution agreement, reseller agreement, partner agreement or other agreement between you and Vendor or other member of Vendor Group, as well as the other limitations described by Section 2 and the Documentation.

Please note that this Agreement comes in two parts. Sections 1 through 12 of this Agreement apply to all Solutions, including those listed below. Section 13 sets out additional terms and conditions affecting specific Solutions or categories of Solutions, including Third Party Software, Services and other Products (Section 13.1); Managed Service Provider Licenses (Section 13.2); Browser Cleanup (Section 13.3); WiFi Finder (Section13.4); Avast Family Space (also sold as Star Guard Family, Vodafone Family Protect and WINDTRE Family Protect) (Section13.5); Mobile Apps (Section 13.6); Technician Edition (Section13.7); Assurance Plan (Section 13.8); Premium Technical Support (Section 13.9); Remote Access; Assistance Software (Section 13.10); Avast Driver Updater (Section 13.11), Avast Secure Web Gateway or Avast Secure Internet Gateway (Section13.12), certain HMA services (Section 13.13), Vendor’s Virtual Private Network Solutions (Section 13.14), any dongle or appliance Avast provides you as part of your subscription (Section 13.15), and Mobile Threat Intelligence Platform (Section 13.16). This Agreement supersedes and replaces any other agreement you previously entered into with respect to a prior version of the Solution.

Vendor may amend this Agreement at any time by notice provided to you in accordance with this Agreement, and your continued use of any affected Solution at any point at least 30 days after the notice date will constitute your acceptance of the amendment of this Agreement. Vendor may require that you accept the amended Agreement in order to continue using any affected Solution you have previously acquired. If you decline to accept the amended Agreement, Vendor may terminate your use of such affected Solution, in which case you may obtain a refund for the portion of the subscription fee you have paid for the unexpired or unused portion of the Subscription Period by following the instructions found here.

Vendor grants to you a non-exclusive license to use the Solution and the Documentation for the agreed period indicated in the Applicable Conditions, including any extensions or renewals of the agreed period (the “Subscription Period”), provided that you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2.1.You may use the Solution on, or to support, up to the agreed number (the “Permitted Number of Devices”) of mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, mobile network appliances, other mobile devices (each, a “Mobile Device”), personal computers, IoT and other Internet-connected devices, or other device compatible with the Solution (each, including each Mobile Device, a “Device”) indicated in the Applicable Conditions exclusively:

2.1.1.In the case of Solutions that Vendor designates for corporate, commercial or business use (each, a “Business Solution”), by you or your affiliates (those entities controlling you, controlled by you or under common control with you) for internal business purposes. In the event of any such use of the Business Solution by your affiliate, you are responsible for your affiliate’s compliance with this Agreement, and a breach by your affiliate will be deemed a breach by you. Any obligations of Vendor under this Agreement will be owed solely to you and not your affiliates that use the Business Solution under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2.1.2.In the case of all other Solutions, including Avast Free Antivirus, AVG Free Antivirus, CCleaner Free and all other Solutions for which you are not required to pay a subscription fee or other price either to obtain the Solution or to continue using the Solution after a trial period (each, a “Consumer Solution”), by a natural person, or members of his household for personal, noncommercial purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, no Consumer Solution is provided or licensed for use by any: (i) natural person for commercial purposes; or (ii) business, company, government entity, non-governmental organization or other not-for-profit entity, or educational institution.

2.2.You may make one backup copy of Software.

2.3.1.Permanent installation of Software onto hard disks or other storage devices for up to the Permitted Number of Devices; or

2.3.2.Use of the Solution over such single local area network, provided the number of different Devices on which the Solution is used does not exceed the Permitted Number of Devices; or

2.3.3.If the Applicable Conditions grant you the right to use the Solution in providing MSP Services, use of the Solution as described in Section 13.2.

2.4.YOUR USE OF THE SOLUTION OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZED BY SECTION 2 OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY RESALE OR FURTHER DISTRIBUTION OF THE SOLUTION, CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT AND MAY VIOLATE APPLICABLE COPYRIGHT LAWS.

Each Update will be deemed to form a part of the “Solution” for all purposes under this Agreement. Updates may include both additions to, and removal of, any particular features or functionality offered by a Solution or may replace it entirely, and Vendor will determine the content, features and functionality of the updated Solution in its sole discretion. Vendor is not required to offer you the option to decline or delay Updates but, in any event, you may need to download and permit installation or activation of all available Updates to obtain maximum benefit from the Solution. Vendor may stop providing support for a Solution until you have accepted and installed or activated all Updates. Vendor in its sole discretion will determine when and if Updates are appropriate and has no obligation to make any Updates available to you. Vendor 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.

5.1.11.violate Vendor’s policy governing acceptable use of its Solutions (the “Acceptable Use Policy”), which you can find here. If and to the extent this Agreement and the Acceptable Use Policy conflict, the more restrictive provision will govern.

5.2.Certain Solutions may 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 Period status, Solution messages, and Updates. You represent and warrant that you will exercise such administrative privileges only with respect to Devices and Solutions for which you are duly authorized and for no other purpose.

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 each member of the Vendor Group, a non-exclusive, unrestricted, unconditional, unlimited, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, and royalty-free right and license to use, copy, record, distribute, reproduce, disclose, sell, resell, sublicense (through multiple levels), modify, adapt, 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 to each member of the Vendor Group that you are at least the age of majority in the state or jurisdiction 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: (i) 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 each member of the Vendor Group the right to use it as described in this Section 5.3, all without any obligation being imposed on any member of the Vendor Group to obtain the consent of any third party and without creating any obligation or liability whatsoever for any member of Vendor Group; (ii) the User Content is accurate; (iii) the User Content does not and, as to each member of the Vendor Group’s permitted uses and exploitation set forth in this Agreement, will not infringe any intellectual property or other right of any third party; and (iv) the User Content will not violate this Agreement or cause injury or harm to any person.

6.1.Subject to the remainder of this Section 6, Vendor warrants to you that the Solution will perform, or will be performed, substantially in accordance with the Documentation for a period of 30 days following your initial acquisition of the Solution. To make a warranty claim, you must follow the instructions provided by the source from which you acquired the Solution. If the Solution does not perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation, the entire and exclusive liability of each member of the Vendor Group and each Vendor Partner, and your sole and exclusive remedy, in respect of such warranty will be limited to, at Vendor’s option, to either: (i) replacement of the Solution; or (ii) return of the Solution to obtain a refund for the portion of the subscription fee you have paid for the unexpired or unused portion of the Subscription Period. This warranty applies only to the Solution as originally delivered, and does not apply to: (i) any Updates; (ii) any defects caused by the combination, operation or use of the Solution with: (A) software, hardware or other materials not provided by Vendor; or (B) Devices, software, or other materials that do not conform to Vendor requirements set forth in the Documentation.

6.2.EXCEPT AS STATED IN SECTION 6.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT, MEMBERS OF THE VENDOR GROUP AND VENDOR PARTNERS DO NOT WARRANT THE PERFORMANCE OR RESULTS YOU MAY OBTAIN BY USING ANY SOLUTION OR DOCUMENTATION. EXCEPT AS STATED IN SECTION 6.1OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE SOLUTION IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND MEMBERS OF THE VENDOR GROUP AND VENDOR PARTNERS MAKE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS AND, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS IMPLIED BY STATUTE, COMMON LAW, JURISPRUDENCE OR OTHER THEORIES OF LAW, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABLE QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. VENDOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF ANY SOLUTION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE, THAT ANY SOLUTION WILL WORK PROPERLY ON ANY GIVEN DEVICE OR WITH ANY PARTICULAR CONFIGURATION OF HARDWARE AND/OR SOFTWARE, OR THAT ANY SOLUTION WILL PROVIDE COMPLETE PROTECTION FOR THE INTEGRITY OF SELECTED DATA, INFORMATION OR CONTENT STORED OR TRANSMITTED VIA THE INTERNET.

6.3.NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY SOLUTION PROVIDED TO YOU WITHOUT FEES (INCLUDING ANY SOLUTION PROVIDED AS A “FREE,” “TRIAL” OR “BETA” SOLUTION) IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS”, “WITH ALL FAULTS,” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND AND WITHOUT SUPPORT OR OTHER SERVICES BY VENDOR.

6.4.TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL VENDOR OR ANY COMPANY THAT CONTROLS, IS CONTROLLED BY OR IS UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH VENDOR (COLLECTIVELY, THE “VENDOR GROUP”) OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AGENTS, LICENSORS, REPRESENTATIVES, SUPPLIERS, DISTRIBUTORS, RESELLERS, WIRELESS CARRIERS OVER WHOSE NETWORK OR SYSTEMS ANY SOLUTION IS PROVIDED, OR ANY OTHER BUSINESS PARTNER OF ANY MEMBER OF THE VENDOR GROUP (COLLECTIVELY, THE “VENDOR PARTNERS”) BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR:

6.4.1.ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR LOSSES WHATSOEVER, WITHOUT REGARD TO CAUSE OR THEORY OF LIABILITY;

6.4.3.ANY OTHER PECUNIARY OR NONPECUNIARY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY SOLUTION PROVIDED HEREUNDER;

EVEN IF SUCH MEMBER OF THE VENDOR GROUP OR VENDOR PARTNER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, NO MEMBER OF THE VENDOR GROUP OR ANY VENDOR PARTNER WILL BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE (WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT) FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, OR ANY CORRUPTION, DEGRADATION, UNAVAILABILITY, ERASURE, THEFT, DESTRUCTION, ALTERATION, DISCLOSURE OR LOSS OF ANY DATA, INFORMATION OR CONTENT TRANSMITTED, RECEIVED OR STORED BY OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SOLUTION REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE. TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY MEMBER OF VENDOR GROUP OR ANY VENDOR PARTNER’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL LOSS OR DAMAGE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY SOLUTION, THE SUBSCRIPTION OR THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (I) FIVE U.S. DOLLARS (US$5.00); AND (II) THE AMOUNT OF THE SUBSCRIPTION FEES YOU HAVE PAID FOR THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING 12 MONTHS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD.

6.5.THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY OF MEMBERS OF THE VENDOR GROUP AND VENDOR PARTNERS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT LIMIT OR EXCLUDE THEIR POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR:

6.5.1.DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, DAMAGE TO TANGIBLE PROPERTY OR FRAUD BEYOND THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS; AND

6.5.2.ANY MATTER THAT MAY NOT OTHERWISE BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED BY APPLICABLE LAWS.

7.1.The term “Data,” as used in this Agreement and the Privacy Policy, means: (a) the information you provide to Vendor, another member of the Vendor Group, or a Vendor Partner in the course of ordering Solutions, including your name, billing address (including postal code), email address, phone number, payment card or account number, payment card or account verification code, payment card commencement date and expiration date, the account password you select for your account with Vendor or another member of the Vendor Group, and other Billing Data as defined in Vendor’s Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”, which you can find here) (collectively, “Transaction Data”); (b) information Vendor, another member of the Vendor Group or a Vendor Partner collects in the course of processing and fulfilling your orders for Solutions, including information about the make, model, operating system and other identifying details of your Device, the name of your Internet service provider, your Internet Protocol (IP) address; and (c) information about your installation and use of Solutions ((b) and (c) collectively being referred to as “Service Data” in the Privacy Policy).

7.2.You authorize Vendor, another member of the Vendor Group or a Vendor Partner, to use your Data, for the purposes described in the Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that such use of your Data includes processing and fulfilling your orders for subscriptions, improving Solutions, and providing information to you about the Solutions to which you have subscribed and offering you other Solutions. You acknowledge that Vendor or another member of the Vendor Group may share your Data with Vendor Partners such as Vendor’s ecommerce platform providers and payment processors, suppliers providing support, services and Solutions to you on Vendor’s behalf, and suppliers providing Vendor or a member of the Vendor Group with purchase analytics and crash analytics in respect of Solutions. You also acknowledge that Vendor or a member of the Vendor Group may share Data that is anonymized and aggregated with third parties for trend analytics.

8.1.This Agreement will immediately terminate upon your breach of any of your obligations in this Agreement (including any breach of your obligations in Sections 2, 5 or 10), which will result in forfeiture of any rights you may have to receive Updates or to obtain a refund for the portion of the subscription fee you have paid for the unexpired or unused portion of the Subscription Period. Vendor reserves the right to any other remedies available under law in the event your breach of any of your obligations under this Agreement adversely affects any member of the Vendor Group or any Vendor Partner. The exclusions and limitations of liability of members of the Vendor Group and Vendor Partners contained in this Agreement will survive termination of this Agreement.

8.2.Vendor, by notice to you, may immediately terminate this Agreement for convenience at any time with respect to any particular Solution or all Solutions and the entire and exclusive liability of each member of the Vendor Group and each Vendor Partner, and your sole and exclusive remedy, in respect of any such termination will be limited to a refund for the portion of the subscription fees you have paid for the unexpired or unused portion of the Subscription Period. From the effective date of such termination you will no longer be entitled to use any affected Solution and Documentation.

8.3.If a Subscription Period is conditioned on you paying a fee or charge, and if Vendor has not received payment by the 15^th day following the payment due date, you will be deemed to have surrendered your license to use the Solution, and the license will terminate immediately without further action by you or Vendor.

All Solutions qualify as “commercial items,” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, all U.S. Government end users acquire such Solutions and related Documentation with only those rights set forth in this Agreement that apply to non-governmental customers. Use of such Solutions and related Documentation constitutes agreement by the U.S. Government entity that the computer software and computer software documentation is commercial, and constitutes acceptance of the rights and restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

You must comply with all applicable U.S. and international laws governing export and re-export of the Solutions, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, as well as end-user, end-use and destination restrictions issued by U.S. and other governments. Without derogating from the generality of the foregoing, you represent, warrant and undertake that: (i) you are not a member of any of the denied persons list, unverified list, entity list, specially designated nationals list, debarred list or any other lists published by the U.S. Government; and (ii) you will not use, export or re-export any Solution in, or to, territories, destinations, companies or individuals in violation of U.S. and E.U. embargoes or trade sanctions. You will indemnify, defend and hold each member of the Vendor Group harmless from and against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding, and all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses arising from your failure to comply with this Section 10.

11.1.This Section 11 applies to any Dispute arising from or related to any Solution, subscription for any Solution or this Agreement, and involving you and Vendor. “Dispute,” for the 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, misrepresentation or fraud, indemnification, tort (including negligence and strict product liability), and violation of statute or regulation).

11.2.In the event of a Dispute, you must provide Vendor with a notice of Dispute, which is a written statement of your name, address and contact information, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested by you. You must send any notice of Dispute by email to Vendor at legal@avast.com (stating Subject: Section 11Notice of Dispute Under EULA).

11.3.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.If you and Vendor 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., and the substantive laws of the State of New York (without regard to choice of laws principles). Except as provided in Section 11.5 below, 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.The arbitration requirement of this Section 11is subject to the following exceptions:

11.5.1.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.All Disputes concerning any alleged misappropriation of your or Vendor’s intellectual property will be resolved in court.

11.5.3.If you are a consumer and live in the European Union, Norway, Iceland or Lichtenstein, you may be entitled to address your Dispute through an internet platform for online dispute resolution established by the European Commission (the “ODR Platform”). The ODR Platform is intended to facilitate out-of-court resolutions relating to online purchases of goods and services between consumers and traders based in the European Union, Norway, Iceland and Lichtenstein. You will find the ODR Platform by following this link: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.

11.6.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”) and will be subject to the following:

11.6.1.The Consumer Procedures provide for certain fees, specifically allocating some to the consumer (you) and others to the business (Vendor). If your claim is US$75,000 or less, Vendor will pay all of those specified fees and costs, including those allocated to the consumer. Vendor 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.Except as provided in below, the AAA’s Consumer Procedures will 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. 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) will have the discretionary authority to require a face-to-face hearing upon the request of a party.

11.6.3.You and the Vendor 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 Vendor will negotiate in good faith to agree on a sole arbitrator who will 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 will follow the AAA’s Consumer Procedures.

11.6.4.If one or more parts of this Section 11are 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 this 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 will be the courts sitting in the county of New York, New York, U.S. For purposes of any such court proceeding, you consent to, and will not challenge, the New York, New York 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.

11.7.Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs of this Section 11, if you acquired a Solution for other than personal or household use, 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.

12.1.Notice. Vendor 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 Vendor first makes it available through a Solution, irrespective of when you actually receive it.

12.2.Questions About This Agreement. If you have any questions regarding this Agreement or wish to request any information from Vendor, please write to Avast Software s.r.o., Pikrtova 1737/1a, Prague 4, Postal Code 14000, Czech Republic, email: support@avast.com, tel.: +420 274 005 777 or visit our support page at www.avast.com/support.

12.3.Separate Agreements. If you acquired two or more Solutions, even in a single transaction, or you acquired subscriptions to any one Solution in multiple transactions, you may have accepted this End User License Agreement multiple times. Although the terms and conditions you accepted may be similar or identical, each time you accepted the terms and conditions of this End User License Agreement you entered into a different and separate agreement between you and the Vendor providing the applicable Solution.

12.4.Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Vendor relating to your use of the Solutions and Documentation. This Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, statements, warranties and representations with respect to your installation and/or use of the Solutions or Documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will diminish any rights you may have under existing consumer protection legislation or other applicable laws in your jurisdiction that may not be waived by contract. This Agreement, the Applicable Conditions and the Documentation, to the greatest extent reasonably practicable, will be construed to be consistent with each other, but in the event of a conflict they will govern in the following order of precedence: (i) the Applicable Conditions; (ii) this Agreement; and (iii) the Documentation.

12.5.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. The words “includes” and “including” will be construed as followed by the words “without limitation.” Any reference to “use” of any software, Solution or Update by you shall be deemed to include any installation of any such software, Solution or Update by you (unless the context otherwise requires). This Agreement was originally prepared in the English language. Although Vendor may provide one or more translated versions of this Agreement for your convenience, the English language version of this Agreement will be the governing version of this Agreement in the case of any conflict or discrepancy. In the event that an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the terms of this Agreement will be construed as having been drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

12.6.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any applicable laws, it shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of this Agreement but the remainder of this Agreement will remain valid and enforceable to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.

12.7.Impossibility

Avast remains in trial mode with limited functionality until you insert the license file into the program, so it's best to activate it as soon as you can.

Even if you don't remember where you saved the file, you can quickly locate it with the Windows search tool.

1

Sign into your email account and look for a message from Avast or Element 5 Notification with the subject "Download Link and License."

2

Look for the attached license file near the top of the message. Save the file to a location on your computer.

3

Launch the Avast product, and then click "Admin" and "Insert License File."
