6. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS." YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE AND
ANY DATA ACCESSED OR DOWNLOADED THROUGH THE SOFTWARE (SUCH AS STOCK
QUOTES, MARKET INFORMATION, NEWS, EMAIL OR OTHER INFORMATION) IS AT YOUR
SOLE DISCRETION AND RISK, AND VIS, ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS MAKE NO
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, COMPLETENESS,
SAFETY OR ADEQUACY OF SUCH DATA. VIS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE,
ANY FUNCTIONS PROVIDED BY THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY DATA ACCESSED OR DOWNLOADED
VIA THE SOFTWARE WILL BE OPERABLE, OR THAT THEIR OPERATION WILL BE
UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE OR THAT THEY WILL FUNCTION OR OPERATE IN
CONJUNCTION WITH ANY OTHER PRODUCT, SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE, OR THAT THEY
WILL NOT DAMAGE ANY OTHER PRODUCT, SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY COMPUTER) OR CAUSE ANY LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA.
VIS, ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED
AND STATUTORY INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NONINFRINGEMENT
OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY
VIS, ITS DEALERS, DISTRIBUTORS, AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES SHALL IN ANY WAY CREATE
ANY WARRANTY. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of
implied warranties or how long an implied warranty may last, so the above
limitations may not apply to you.
VIS, ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY LIABILITY FOR
ANY HARM RESULTING FROM YOUR DOWNLOAD, INSTALLATION, USE OR UNINSTALLATION
OF THE SOFTWARE, OR YOUR USE OF ANY FUNCTIONALITY PROVIDED BY THE
SOFTWARE.
VIS, ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY LIABILITY TO YOU
FOR CLAIMS AND LIABILITIES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED
TO THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE BY YOURSELF OR BY ANY THIRD PARTY, TO THE USE OR
NON-USE OF ANY BROKERAGE FIRM OR DEALER, OR TO THE SALE OR PURCHASE OF ANY
SECURITY, WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS AND LIABILITIES ARE BASED ON ANY LEGAL OR
EQUITABLE THEORY.
VIS, ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL,
SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING DAMAGES
FOR INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, LOSS OF
PROFITS, OR THE LIKE) REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION WHETHER IN CONTRACT,
TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR
EQUITABLE THEORY EVEN IF VIS OR ITS LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion
or limitation of incidental or consequential damages so this limitation and
exclusion may not apply to you.
IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF VIS, ITS AFFILIATES
AND LICENSORS FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT
EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID TO VIS BY YOU (IF ANY) PURSUANT TO THIS
AGREEMENT.
THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMER, LIMITED REMEDIES AND LIMITED LIABILITY SPECIFIED
ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN VIS AND
YOU. VIS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE SOFTWARE TO YOU WITHOUT SUCH
PROVISIONS.
7. Indemnification.
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless VIS, its affiliates and
licensors from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorney's fees, related to or arising from: (a) the use of the

without your permission); (e) injuries to or death of any person and for
damages to or loss of any property, which may in any way arise out of or
result from or in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent that
such liabilities arise from the active negligence or willful misconduct of
the other party.

applicable to (and incorporated into) this Agreement; in the event of any
conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and those in
the VIS TOS, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will control,
except to the extent that the VIS TOS impose additional restrictions and
liabilities on your actions (in which case such additional restrictions
and liabilities shall be applicable to you).
You agree that the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without
reference to its principles of conflicts of laws, will be applied to govern,
construe and enforce all of the rights and duties of the parties arising

including Virginia laws relating to consumer transactions, any cause of
action or claim you may have with respect to the Software must be commenced

or cause of action is barred. The United Nations Convention on the
International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement. Failure of
VIS at any time to insist upon strict compliance with any of the provisions
of this Agreement in any instance shall not be construed to be a waiver of
such terms in the future. If any provision of this Agreement is determined
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby, and the unenforceable portion shall be construed as
nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties.
This Agreement may not be assigned, sub-licensed, or otherwise transferred
by you. Use, duplication or disclosure by any Government entity is subject
to restrictions set forth, as applicable, in subparagraphs (a) through (d)
of the Commercial Computer-Restricted Rights clause at FAR 52.227-19, FAR

Technical Data and Computer Software clause of DFARS 252.227-7013, and in
similar clauses in the NASA FAR Supplement (contractor/manufacturer is
VIS or its licensors and suppliers). The use of the S oftware is further
restricted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement
constitutes the complete, final and exclusive statement of the agreement
between VIS and you, which supersedes all proposals, oral or written, and
all other communications between the parties relating to the subject matter
of this Agreement. VIS may modify this Agreement from time to time;
notice of modifications posted to the Website shall take effect thirty (30)
days after posting. Your continued use of the Software after the effective
date of the Agreement modifications shall indicate your acceptance of
such modifications. You agree to periodically check the Website for posted
modifications.
