We may provide through the Site a link or connect you directly to a password-protected third-party website designed specifically to provide investors with certain information (the “Restricted Website”). Your use of the Restricted Website is governed by these Terms. The information contained in the Restricted Website is confidential and is subject to the confidentiality provisions contained in the governing documents and agreements of private investments funds managed by Vitae Capital (such funds, the “Vitae Funds”). As a member or limited partner of one or more of the Vitae Funds, or a representative of such a member or limited partner, you are subject to those confidentiality provisions. By use of the Restricted Website you agree that the information relating to any Vitae Funds in which you are not a member or limited partner is subject to the same confidentiality restrictions that apply to you as a member or limited partner in any of the Vitae Funds.

The information contained in the Restricted Website may include material non-public information regarding the Vitae Funds and their underlying portfolio companies.

For contractual purposes, you (1) consent to receive communications from Vitae Capital in an electronic form; and (2) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Vitae Capital provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were to be in writing.

Dispute Resolution

 

Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Vitae Capital and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

• Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement is only applicable to U.S. Residents. You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Website, to any products sold or distributed through the Website, or to any aspect of your relationship with Vitae Capital, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, and (2) you or Vitae Capital may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Arbitration Agreement or any prior version of these Terms.
• Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Vitae Capital, 211 7th Street, Suite 620, Austin, Texas 78701, Attention: Manager. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Vitae Capital will pay them for you. In addition, Vitae Capital will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $2,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.

You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

• Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (i) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (ii) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Vitae Capital. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
• Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND VITAE CAPITAL HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Vitae Capital are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the first bulleted paragraph above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
• Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER PERSON. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of the limitations stated in this bulleted paragraph as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in Austin, Texas. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
• Severability. Except as provided in the fifth bulleted paragraph above, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
• Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Vitae Capital.
• Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Vitae Capital makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing Vitae Capital at the following address: P.O. Box 200157; Austin, Texas 78720, Attention: Manager.

 

Exclusive Venue

 

To the extent the parties are permitted under this Agreement to initiate litigation in a court, both you and Vitae Capital agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Austin, Texas.

 

Governing Law

 

THE TERMS AND ANY ACTION RELATED THERETO WILL BE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED BY AND UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, CONSISTENT WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS DOES NOT APPLY TO THE AGREEMENT.

 

Miscellaneous

 

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in that provision and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect. The Terms are the final, complete, and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
