VPiX is a web-based app that provides its tools and resulting 360° content via way of the Internet. VPiX depends on your use of a current Web browser such as (Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple’s Safari). If you do not have a current Operating System (OS) and a current Web browser, some portions or all of the VPiX subscription may not work at all. Outages or failure of your hardware, Internet connection or lack of access to the Internet does not constitute a failure on VPiX and as such, is not deemed as an adequate justification for a full or partial refund of your subscription. VPiX will maintain the same 100% Network Uptime Guarantee offered by our hosting partner, Rackspace. However, DNS outages and ISP failures are often a local experience and not one that automatically means a failure of VPiX or Rackspace services were the cause of any VPiX failure, brown out or outage of service.
