You understand that much of the information that you submit to us is submitted precisely for the purpose of disclosure in a variety of ways by VRB, and therefore such information is not (and necessarily cannot be) subject to any confidentiality obligation.

All information provided by you or collected by VRB in connection with the Services is governed by VRB's Privacy Policy, the operative version of which is accessible at http://www.virtualracebags.com/privacy_policy.

Organizers should note that VRB may use information it receives or collects regarding Visitors in accordance with the terms of its Privacy Policy, which may include use for marketing or promotion of other Offers or services that may be of interest to such Visitors. Further, some information submitted or provided by you to the Services may be publicly accessible. While VRB will be as proactive and vigilant about the security of Personal Data and other information, it cannot provide for such security if information is publicly accessible or otherwise viewable to others. Accordingly, you should take care to protect private or other information that is important to you. VRB shall not be responsible for protecting any such information and will not be liable or otherwise responsible for the security of information transmitted in electronic mail or other information transferred through the Internet or any other network that you may use.

Any notice from you to us shall be sent in writing to our mailing address at Virtual Race Bags Inc., 5200 Park Rd., Suite 221, Charlotte, NC, USA, Attn: Legal.
The trademarks, service marks, and logos of VRB (the "VRB Trademarks") used and displayed in connection with the Services are registered and unregistered trademarks or service marks of VRB. Other company, product, and service names used in connection with the Services may be trademarks or service marks owned by third parties (the "Third Party Trademarks," and, collectively with VRB Trademarks, the "Trademarks"). The offering of the Services shall not be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any Trademark displayed in connection with the Services without the prior written consent of VRB specific for each such use. The Trademarks may not be used to disparage VRB, any third party or VRB's third party's products or services, or in any manner (in VRB's sole judgment) that may damage any goodwill in the Trademarks. Use of any Trademarks as part of a link to or from any site is prohibited unless VRB approves the establishment of such a link by prior written consent specific for each such link. All goodwill generated from the use of any VRB Trademark shall inure to VRB's benefit.
This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy [LINK] and any other legal notices published by VRB on the Sites or addendum executed as provided herein shall constitute the entire agreement between you and VRB other than any Addendum Agreement between you and an authorized officer of VRB relating to a specified event or events. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate services, third party Content or third party software or the Services in a manner other than as governed by these TOS.
This Agreement supersedes any prior agreement, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter herein. No waiver, modification or amendment of any of these terms and conditions shall be effective against VRB unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of VRB. VRB does not waive any power or right under this Agreement or otherwise even if timely or strict compliance is not always insisted upon.
All rights and remedies provided to VRB in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which VRB otherwise has at law, in equity or otherwise. These terms and conditions shall be binding upon you and your executors, heirs, successors and assigns. If any provision of our Agreement is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the enforceability of any other provisions contained in this Agreement, and the remaining portions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect (other than as set forth Section 23.3 below).
Any disputes arising out of or related to these TOS and/or the Sites or Services shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of North Carolina without regard to its choice of law rules and without regard to conflicts of laws principles except that the Arbitration provision set forth in Section 23.3 shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
To the extent a claim or dispute is not subject to binding arbitration as set forth below or a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the within arbitration provision is not enforceable to the fullest extent set forth herein, any such claim or dispute between you and VRB arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of North Carolina. Either you or VRB may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in North Carolina, necessary to protect the rights or property of you orVRB (or its agents, suppliers, and subcontractors) pending the completion of any judicial proceeding, including arbitration if mandated by VRB as provided below.
We will make every reasonable effort to resolve any disagreements that you may have with VRB.
If those efforts fail, you agree that any claim, dispute, or controversy you may have with or against VRB arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these TOS, the Sites or the Services shall be resolved – at VRB's sole and exclusive discretion and election – by final and binding arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS"). If VRB elects to exercise this provision and mandate arbitration, judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof. You agree further that:
(a) the arbitration shall be held at a location determined by JAMS pursuant to the Rules and Procedures (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and VRB;
(b) the arbitrator shall apply North Carolina law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law;
© there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis; arbitration can decide only your and/or VRB's individual claims; and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated;
(d) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, VRB will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; and
(e) with the exception of subpart © above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures established by JAMS, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart © is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor VRB shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute.
The failure or delay of VRB to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No oral waiver, amendment or modification shall be effective under any circumstance whatsoever. If any provision of these TOS is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the arbitrator or court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of this TOS shall remain in full force and effect.
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or theseTOS must be filed within two (2) years after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
The section headings and descriptions in these TOS are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
