5. The Marten VPN & WiFi Protection Software
5.1 Marten VPN & WiFi Protection Software License. The Service,
including the Marten VPN & WiFi Protection Software, is licensed,
not sold, to you. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, Marten VPN & WiFi Protection 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 Marten VPN & WiFi Protection Software in
object code format, to access the Service for internal and personal
purposes only. The Marten VPN & WiFi Protection 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 Marten VPN & WiFi Protection 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 Marten VPN & WiFi
Protection 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 Marten VPN & WiFi
Protection 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 Marten VPN & WiFi Protection Software, merge the Marten
VPN & WiFi Protection Software into another program or create
derivative works based on the Marten VPN & WiFi Protection Software;
or (e) use, copy or distribute the Marten VPN & WiFi Protection
Software without Marten VPN & WiFi Protection’s written
authorization, except that you may make one (1) copy of the Marten
VPN & WiFi Protection Software for archival or backup purposes only.

access or receive while using the Marten VPN & WiFi Protection
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 Marten VPN & WiFi
Protection Software.When you purchase a subscription to Paid Service
in connection with your use of the Marten VPN & WiFi Protection
Software, Marten VPN & WiFi Protection 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 Marten
VPN & WiFi Protection Paid Service for a renewal subscription term
lasting a period of time equal to the Subscription Period. The
Marten VPN & WiFi Protection 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 Marten VPN & WiFi
Protection 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 Marten VPN & WiFi Protection account before the
renewal date of your subscription to the Paid Service. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, Marten VPN & WiFi Protection 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 Marten VPN & WiFi Protection 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 Marten VPN & WiFi
Protection 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 Marten VPN & WiFi Protection 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. Marten VPN & WiFi Protection 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, Marten VPN & WiFi Protection disclaims all
liability with regard to any fees or problems you have with
third-party payment processors.

your inability to use the service or Marten VPN & WiFi Protection
software, or any other interactions with Marten VPN & WiFi

Marten VPN & WiFi Protection 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

applies only if you reside and use the Service and Marten VPN & WiFi

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

15. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
15.1 Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you
and Marten VPN & WiFi Protection in the most expedient and cost
effective manner, you and Marten VPN & WiFi Protection 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 Marten VPN
& WiFi Protection 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 Marten VPN & WiFi
Protection 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.
