VIRRGIN User Terms and Conditions (Authorised Users)

Summary

These are the standard Terms and Conditions of Use that govern individuals granted access to VIRRGIN, the BVI Financial Services Commission's online filing and registry system. They apply to each person who becomes an Authorised User (rather than to the corporate Subscriber, whose separate agreement with the Commission underpins this access) and set out permitted uses, prohibited conduct, account termination rules, and user obligations.

• Who can be an Authorised User: Employees of a Subscriber in good standing with the Commission, legal practitioners entitled to practice in the BVI, insolvency practitioners licensed under the Insolvency Act, or an authorised and accepted VIRRGIN Lite Subscriber.
• Permitted uses: Accessing Commission registers, submitting fees and payments, submitting applications and obtaining copies of documents, making filings and transactions, and accessing other Commission services offered through VIRRGIN.
• Prohibited uses: Sharing user IDs or passwords, allowing unauthorised access, using automated or scripted access methods, accessing VIRRGIN from outside the BVI except as permitted, circumventing system controls, or using VIRRGIN for any purpose outside these Terms.
• Account termination: The Commission may terminate or deactivate an account without notice on termination of the Subscriber agreement, after 60 days of inactivity, for breach of the Terms, or for any other reason it determines necessary.
• User obligations: Provide true, accurate and complete registration information; report changes to that information within 7 days; immediately report unauthorised use or security breaches; log out at the end of each session; and notify the Commission when an Authorised User's employment ends.

The Terms also cover liability limitations, intellectual property restrictions, system audits and maintenance notices, and dispute resolution via the BVI International Arbitration Centre. The Commission may vary the Terms with three months notice, or unilaterally and immediately in exceptional cases.

• Subscribers/Authorised Users must notify the Commission when an Authorised User's employment with the Subscriber is terminated.
