Indemnification

By agreeing to these Terms you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Veri, our affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managing members, shareholders, employees, affiliates, licensors, partners, investors and suppliers (collectively, the "Veri Parties") from and against any and all complaints, charges, claims, damages, losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) due to, arising out of, or relating in any way to (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) any User Content you post, upload, use, distribute, store, or otherwise transmit through the Services; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of the rights of another, including without limitation, any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, privacy, or proprietary right; or (e) your violation of any statutes, codes, ordinances, laws, rules, regulations, including without limitation, all regulatory, administrative, and legislative authorities.

Limitation of Liability

Except where prohibited by law, in no event will Veri or the Veri Parties be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental, exemplary, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Services, including, without limitation, any damages resulting from loss of use, data, or profits, whether or not Veri has been advised of the possibility of such damages, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with the Terms, or from any communications, interactions, or meetings with other users of the Services, on any theory of liability, that result from (a) the use of, or inability to use, the Services; (b) the provision of the Services, any related software, or any materials available therein; or (c) any other matter related to the Services, whether based on warranty, copyright, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory. You assume total responsibility for your use of the Services and any related software and materials. Your only remedy against Veri for dissatisfaction with the Services or any content is to stop using the Services. If, notwithstanding these Terms, Veri is found liable to you for any damage or loss that arises out of or is in any way connected with your use of the Services or any content, Veri's liability shall in no event exceed the amounts paid by you, if any, for the Services twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to liability. SOME STATES, INCLUDING NEW JERSEY, DO NOT PERMIT CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS, AND ANY SUCH DISCLAIMERS OR LIMITATIONS ARE VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.

Complete Agreement

These Terms supersede all prior understandings regarding the same and represent the complete agreement between you and Veri. These Terms do not create or confer any third-party beneficiary rights. We may change or modify these Terms at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make changes to these Terms, we will provide notice of such changes, such as by sending a notification, posting a notice on the Services, or updating the "Last Updated" date above. Your continued use of the Services will confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to frequently review the Terms to ensure you understand the terms and conditions that apply to your use of the Services. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop using the Services and delete your Veri account.

Law

You agree that any claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Services or any software provided by us, will be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. The laws of the State of New York shall govern this Agreement, and shall be used in any arbitration proceeding.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms as a court would.

Arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules then in effect. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that Veri may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property or other proprietary rights.

To the extent arbitration does not apply, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Software, or to us, may only be brought by you in a state or federal court located in New York, New York. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS VENUE AS INCONVENIENT OR INAPPROPRIATE, AND AGREE TO EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN NEW YORK.

Class Action Waiver. You agree that (i) no arbitration proceeding hereunder whether a CONSUMER DISPUTE or a BUSINESS DISPUTE shall be certified as a class action or proceed as a class action, or on a basis involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, other customers or potential customers or persons similarly situated, and (ii) no arbitration proceeding hereunder shall be consolidated with, or joined in any way with, any other arbitration proceeding. THE PARTIES AGREE TO ARBITRATE A CONSUMER DISPUTE OR BUSINESS DISPUTE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND EACH WAIVES THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, both you and Veri agree that parties have each waived any right to a jury trial and any rights to assert any claims against the other party as a representative or member in any class or representative action.
