You may find yourself subject to Arbitration (DRP => COD7).

Your liability is limited to a total maximum of 1000 Euros.
"Foreign Courts" may assert jurisdiction. These include your local + courts, and are outside our Arbitration.

to provide accurate information as part of Assurance. You give + permission for verification of the information using CAcert-approved + methods.

+ +

2.5 Security

+ +

to secure yourself and your computing platform (e. g. PC),
to keep your email account in good working order,
to secure your CAcert account (e. g., credentials such as username, + password),
to secure your private keys, ensuring that they are only used as + indicated by the certificate, or by wider agreement with others,
to review certificates for accuracy, and
when in doubt, notify CAcert,

+ +

Where, above, 'secure' means to protect to a reasonable degree, in + proportion with your risks and the risks of others.

+ +

3. Law and Jurisdiction

+ +

3.1 Governing Law

+ +

This agreement is governed under the law of New South Wales, Australia, + being the home of the CAcert Inc. Association.

+ +

3.2 Arbitration as Forum of Dispute Resolution

+ +

You agree, with CAcert and all of the Community, that all disputes arising + out of or in connection to our use of CAcert services shall be referred to + and finally resolved by Arbitration under the rules within the Dispute + Resolution Policy of CAcert (DRP => COD7). The rules select a single + Arbitrator chosen by CAcert from among senior Members in the Community. The + ruling of the Arbitrator is binding and final on Members and CAcert + alike.

+ +

In general, the jurisdiction for resolution of disputes is within CAcert's + own forum of Arbitration, as defined and controlled by its own rules (DRP + => COD7).

+ +

We use Arbitration for many purposes beyond the strict nature of disputes, + such as governance and oversight. A systems administrator may need + authorisation to conduct a non-routine action, and Arbitration may provide + that authorisation. Thus, you may find yourself party to Arbitration that is + simply support actions, and you may file disputes in order to initiate + support actions.

+ +

3.3 Termination

+ +

The CAcert Community Agreement is terminated

+ +

based on a Policy Group decision following (PoP => COD1). This + terminates the Agreement with every member.
with a ruling of the Arbitrator or the completion of a termination + process defined by an Arbitrator ruling (DRP => COD7).
by the end of existence of a member (i.e. death in the case of + individuals).

+ +

A member may declare the wish to resign from CAcert at any time by writing + to support AT cacert.org. This triggers a process for termination of + this agreement with the member.

+ +

3.3a Consequences of Termination

+ +

The termination discontinues the right to USE, OFFER and CREATE personal + certificates in any account of the former member. Those certificates will be + revoked and all services to the former member will be terminated as soon as + possible. However, some information will continue to be held for certificate + processing purposes.

+ +

The provisions on Arbitration for the time of membership survive any + termination. Former members are still bound by the DRP (COD7), and the + Arbitrator may reinstate any provision of this agreement or bind them to a + ruling.

+ +

As far as Organisations are concerned details are also defined in the + Organisation Assurance Policy (OAP => COD11).

+ +

Every member learning about the death of a member or termination of + existence of a member should notify support AT cacert.org.

+ +

3.4 Changes of Agreement

+ +

CAcert may from time to time vary the terms of this Agreement. Changes + will be done according to the documented CAcert policy for changing policies, + and is subject to scrutiny and feedback by the Community. Changes will be + notified to you by email to your primary address.

+ +
