Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of the terms of use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are entered into by and between you and Verseela (“we”, “us”, or “our”). The following terms and conditions govern your download, access, and use of the Verseela mobile application (the “App”), including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through the App (collectively, the “Services”). Please read these Terms carefully before you start to use the App.

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the App.

2. Eligibility

The Services are offered and available to users who are at least 13 years of age (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet the applicable eligibility requirements. If you are under 18, you represent that you have obtained parental or guardian consent to use the App.

3. Changes to the terms of use

We may revise and update these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the App thereafter. Your continued use of the App following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

4. Accessing the app

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the App, and any service or material we provide therein, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the App is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the App or the entire App.

Verseela requires no account to use. All content is bundled with the App and stored on your device, so the App works entirely offline.

5. Additional terms for mobile applications

We make available software to access our Services via a compatible mobile device (the “App”). We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use a compiled code copy of the App on one or more mobile devices owned or leased solely by you, solely in accordance with these Terms. You acknowledge that we may from time to time issue upgraded versions of the App, and may automatically upgrade the version of the App that you are using on your mobile device. You consent to such automatic upgrading and agree that these Terms will apply to all such upgrades. Any third-party code incorporated in the App is covered by the applicable open source or third-party license authorizing use of such code. The foregoing license grant is not a sale of the App or any copy thereof. We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the App (and any copy thereof).

6. App store terms

If you acquire the App from a third-party app store, such as the Apple App Store or Google Play Store: (i) you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and us only, and not with such third party; (ii) your use of the App must comply with such third party’s then-current app store terms and conditions; (iii) such third party is only a provider of the app store where you obtained the App; (iv) we, and not such third party, are solely responsible for the App; (v) such third party has no obligation or liability to you with respect to the App or these Terms; and (vi) you acknowledge and agree that such third party is a third-party beneficiary to these Terms as it relates to the App.

7. Premium subscription

Certain features of the App may be available through a premium subscription (“Premium Features”). Subscriptions are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and are subject to their respective terms and conditions.

• Subscriptions are charged to your Apple App Store or Google Play Store account
• Payment is charged upon confirmation of purchase
• Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period
• Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period

We may offer free trial periods for Premium Features. You may be charged once the trial period ends unless you cancel before the trial expires. We reserve the right to modify or cancel free trial offers at any time.

8. Intellectual property rights

The App and its entire contents, features, and functionality, including but not limited to all information, software, text, displays, images, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof, are owned by us, our licensors, or other providers of such material and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.

These Terms permit you to use the App for your personal, non-commercial use only.

No right, title, or interest in or to the App or any content on the App is transferred to you, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved by us. Any use of the App not expressly permitted by these Terms is a breach of these Terms and may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws.

16. Disclaimer of warranties

YOUR USE OF THE APP, ITS CONTENT, AND ANY MATERIALS OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE APP IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE APP, ITS CONTENT, AND ANY MATERIALS OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE APP ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY WARRANTIES THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and our and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the App.

19. Dispute resolution and arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU AND VERSEELA TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU OR WE CAN SEEK RELIEF.

Except for disputes that either party brings in small claims court in accordance with applicable law, or disputes in which either party seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, any dispute or claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the App will be resolved through binding individual arbitration, and you and Verseela waive the right to a jury trial and to have any such dispute resolved in court. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration agreement.

If you assert a claim, you will first contact us by email at hello@verseela.com, describing the nature and basis of the claim and the relief sought. If we cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the claim is received, either party may submit the claim to binding arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration organization in accordance with its consumer arbitration rules then in effect. Arbitration will be held in a location convenient to you, or as otherwise agreed by the parties.

This arbitration agreement does not affect any rights you may have under mandatory consumer protection laws that cannot be waived by agreement. Nothing in this section limits your right to lodge a complaint with a relevant consumer protection or data protection authority.

20. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Verseela is established, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms or the App shall be instituted in the competent courts of that jurisdiction, subject to the arbitration agreement set forth above and to any mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence.

21. Waiver and severability

No waiver by us of any term or condition set out in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.

22. Entire agreement

These Terms and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Verseela regarding the App and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the App.

23. Your comments and concerns

All feedback, comments, requests for technical support, and other communications relating to the App should be directed to hello@verseela.com.
