Terms of Service
Agreement governing your use of the VerifyYou Service
Welcome to VerifyYou, which is comprised of various web pages and mobile apps (collectively, the “Service”) operated by Verify You LLC (“VerifyYou”, “we”, “our”, “us”).

- You are solely responsible for the information associated with your Account, and anything that happens related to your Account;
- You must maintain the security of your Account and notify us if you discover or suspect anyone has accessed your Account;
- You also will not license, sell, or transfer your Account; and
- Your identity is your own, and you will not violate any rights of publicity or privacy of any person.

- You are not barred from using the Service by any applicable laws; and

Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, LEGAL, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. VERIFYYOU DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, CURRENT, OR ERROR-FREE (INCLUDING THAT THERE MAY BE DENIAL OF LEGITIMATE USERS). VERIFYYOU DOES NOT CONTROL, ENDORSE, OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACTIONS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

Nothing in these Terms will prejudice the statutory rights that you may have as a user of the Services. Some countries, states, provinces, or other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability as stated in this section, so the below terms may not fully apply to you. Instead, in such jurisdictions, the exclusions and limitations below shall apply only to the extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdictions.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL VERIFY YOU, VY ENTITIES, OR ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE SERVICE, WITH THE DELAY OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE SERVICES, OR FOR ANY INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND RELATED GRAPHICS OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICE, OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF VERIFYYOU, VY ENTITIES OR ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES. BECAUSE SOME STATES/JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE, OR WITH ANY OF THESE TERMS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE SERVICE.
Governing Law & Venue
If you have an issue or dispute, you agree to raise it and try to resolve it with us informally. You can contact us with feedback and concerns at legal@verifyyou.com. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claims you bring arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws rules; all disputes related to these Terms or the Services will be brought solely in the federal or state courts located in New York, NY, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in these courts.
Class Action Waiver
THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN EACH'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS, COLLECTIVE AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, SUCH AS IN THE FORM OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER. Further, unless both you and VerifyYou agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Suspension and Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service for any violation of these Terms, if required by law and at our discretion, with or without notice. On termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We may delete your account and data, consistent with our Privacy Policy. Any provisions that should survive termination (e.g., indemnification) remain in effect.
Changes to these Terms
We reserve the right to change or modify these Terms at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will notify you via email, by providing notice through the Services, or by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. If you do not agree to any amended Terms, you must stop using the Service.
