Terms of Service


We are VCOM, a division of Avanquest North America Inc. ("VCOM," "our," "us" or "we"). Your access, installation and use of our "VCOM" software, services and websites (collectively, the "Services"), is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, our End User License Agreement ("EULA"), and in any other VCOM agreements that relate to the Services (collectively, "Agreement").

Agreement: You acknowledge that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In addition, your access, installation and/or use of the Services constitutes acceptance of such terms and conditions. VCOM reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify, amend or supplement any term or condition of this Agreement at any time with or without notice. If you continue to use the Services after any such modifications, amendments or supplements are made, you are then accepting and agreeing to be bound by them. You may view the most current version of our Privacy Policy at any time at Privacy Policy, and the most current version of our EULA at End User License Agreement.

Subscriber: You represent and warrant that (a) if you are an individual, you are at least 18 years old and otherwise legally competent in all respects to enter into and be bound by this Agreement or (b) if you are an entity, you are a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other legal entity in good standing, and possess all legal authority and power to enter into and be bound by this Agreement. If you are a legal entity, you hereby represent and warrant that you have the authority to and do hereby bind your entity and all individuals employed or engaged by your entity that may use the Services.

Remote Access: The Services will, among other things, (a) permit users to have full remote access to their own computers, phones and mobile devices (collectively, "Devices") and full remote access to other users' Devices and (b) permit VCOM to have full remote access to users' Devices, in order to, for example, restart or shutdown Devices, back up Devices, install, uninstall and update software, view and change settings (including but not limited to security and Internet settings), run anti-virus scans and removal, diagnose and tune-up Devices, install patches, access and obtain information about Devices' performance and configuration, share files, send messages and provide general support and maintenance. Such access to your and other users' Devices will only be granted after the user's informed consent for a specific period of time has been given.

Authority to Grant Access through the Services to Your Devices: You represent and warrant (for yourself and/or any entity that you represent) that you and/or such entity have full legal authority to grant access to your Devices through the Services.
VCOM does not verify the information provided by or the identity of any users of its Services. Therefore, if you grant access to your Devices from anyone who is not a VCOM Support Staff member (described below), we will not be responsible if they are not who they say they are. You alone are responsible for determining the identity of those to whom you grant access to your Devices, and the intention and scope of such grant.

YOU SHOULD NOT ACCEPT REQUESTS TO GAIN ACCESS TO YOUR DEVICES FOR SUPPORT OR MAINTENANCE OR OTHERWISE FROM UNKNOWN PEOPLE OR COMPANIES UNLESS YOU HAVE VERIFIED THEIR IDENTITY AND ARE SURE YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM SUCH ACCESS.

VCOM Authorized Supporter: If you request that VCOM or our authorized representatives access your Devices through the Services in order to provide you with support or maintenance, such access will be given when we designate one of our authorized support staff ("Support Staff") to provide such support or maintenance. We will send you an email notification that identifies the specific Support Staff.

Licensing and Authorizing Service: By granting VCOM access to your Devices you hereby grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, license to use, store, transmit, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display and disclose all information we have access to on your Devices through the Services, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Installation of Third Party Software: When you grant us access to your Devices through the Services, you acknowledge that the Support Staff may install third-party software on your Device. You are responsible for reviewing and accepting any third-party end-user license agreements that accompany such third party software. In addition, you are responsible for evaluating that the Services are suitable and appropriate to be installed on your device.

Accessing Other User's Devices:
You may only access those Devices for which you have expressly been granted permission by the user or owner of such Devices. If you access another user's Device through the Services, you may only do so in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in compliance with all applicable law. You are not permitted to access another user's Devices using the Services unless (i) all identifying information provided by you is current and up to date and (ii) the intention and scope of such access has been expressly agreed and acknowledged by the user or owner of the Device and you. You may only access another user's Devices within the express limits of authority that may be granted to you. For example, you are not permitted to install software, change system settings, or undertake any action through the Services without the express permission of the user or owner of the Device.

Authorization and Identification: You acknowledge and understand that we do not verify the identity of any of the users of the Services (or any information they provide us) and that we will not be liable in any manner whatsoever if any such identity or information is incorrect or incomplete. You are solely responsible for verifying all information about and from any user to whom you grant access to your Devices through the Services.

Changes in the Services: The Services and their availability, features and functionality may be updated, changed, added to, limited or terminated, at any time, without notice, by VCOM in its sole and exclusive discretion. You agree to bear the risks of and hold VCOM harmless from any and all effects that such changes may have on you and your ability to use the Services and/or any applicable Device.

Payments: You agree to pay all applicable fees for the Services and for each subscription renewal. VCOM has the right to change pricing from time to time for new purchases, subscriptions and renewals. It is your responsibility to maintain accurate and current billing information with VCOM, which includes without limitation your credit card information, email address and mailing address. You are responsible for all internet access and use fees and Device data charges you incur in connection with your use of the Services. You may manage your account and/or obtain current pricing information from the VCOM website: www.VCOM.com

Automatic Renewal Policy: All Services subscriptions will automatically renew at the end of such subscription's billing cycle. Renewal charges are based on the rates that are current on the date of renewal. Subscriptions will renew for the same billing cycle term unless otherwise specified. As a courtesy to you, an automated renewal notification will be sent to the email address on your account at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the actual renewal. You may turn off the automatic renewal for your account at that time or at any time by logging into your account at www.VCOM.com/login and navigating to your account profile.

Failure to Pay: We may temporarily deny access to the Services or terminate this Agreement upon your failure to pay subscription, renewal or other applicable charges when due. Such denial or termination will not relieve you of responsibility for the payment of all accrued charges, plus legally permitted interest and collection fees.

Account Cancellation: You may cancel your Services subscription at any time (subject to the terms of your subscription) by logging into your account at www.VCOM.com/login and navigating to your account profile.
