When you access or use our Service, or by clicking a button or checking a box marked “I Agree” (or something similar), you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (these “Terms”). We reserve the right to modify these Terms and will provide notice of these changes as described below. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access our Service (“Users”).
Please note that if you are an individual and you access or use our Service on behalf of a company or other entity, such as your employer (together with its affiliates, an “Organization”), then: (a) these Terms are an agreement between us and you and us and that Organization; (b) you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that Organization to these Terms (and if you do not have that authority, you may not access or use our Service); (c) your acceptance of these Terms will bind such Organization to these Terms; (d) your individual right to access and use our Service may be suspended or terminated (and ownership and administration of your Service Account may be transferred) if you cease to be associated with, or cease to use an email address associated with or provisioned by, that Organization; (e) we may disclose information regarding you and your use of our Service with such Organization; and (f) the terms “you” and “your”, as used in these Terms, refer to both you and such Organization. If you sign up for our Service using an email address associated with or provisioned by an Organization, or if an Organization pays fees due in connection with your access to or use of our Service (or reimburses you for payment of such fees), or otherwise, then, we may deem you to be accessing and using our Service on behalf of that Organization in our sole discretion.

We have implemented commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure your data and information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your data for improper purposes. You understand that internet technologies have the inherent potential for disclosure. You acknowledge that you provide your data at your own risk.
- Payments, Billing and Subscription Plans.
6.1 How We Bill for Our Service.
Certain aspects of our Service may be provided for free, while certain other aspects of our Service or products available on our website may be provided for a fee or other charge. If you elect to use paid aspects of our Service or make a purchase on our website, you agree to our payment terms set forth herein and on our website at https://www.vericlouds.com as we may update them from time to time. We may add new services for additional fees and charges, add or amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in our sole discretion.
6.2 Payment Information; Payment Method; Taxes.
All information that you provide in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with our Service must be accurate, complete, and current. You agree to pay all charges incurred by users of your credit card, debit card, or other payment method (“Payment Method”) used in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with our Service at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You must provide us with a current, valid, accepted Payment Method. When you initiate a purchase transaction, you authorize us to provide your payment information to third parties so we can complete your transaction and to charge your Payment Method, in United States dollars, for the type of transaction you have selected (plus any applicable taxes and other charges) and any applicable recurring charges as described below. We currently use Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”) as our third party service provider for payment services, and by using our Service you agree to be bound by Stripe’s Payments Terms of Service, available at https://stripe.com/legal/payment-terms. If your payment is not successfully settled for any reason, you remain responsible for any amounts not remitted to us. All payments for transactions are non-refundable and non-transferable except as expressly provided in these Terms. You will pay any applicable taxes, if any, relating to any such purchases, transactions or other monetary transaction interactions.
6.3 Subscription Plans.
We may offer plans that you can sign up for that allow you to use certain aspects of our Service (a “Subscription Plan”). We may change Subscription Plans by offering new services for additional fees and charges and adding or amending fees and charges for existing Subscription Plans in our sole discretion. Any change to a Subscription Plan’s pricing or payment terms will become effective in the billing cycle following notice of such change to you as provided in these Terms. Subscription Plans may set allotments for use of designated Service aspects. Use of Service aspects in excess of a Subscription Plan’s designated allotment may result in (additional) fees, as specified in the plan, and such fees will be included in a true-up invoice or charged automatically via your Payment Method. For any paid Subscription Plan, you agree to make payments, and we may automatically charge your Payment Method, as described below, for so long as your User Account remains active. Subscription Plans may be offered for a set subscription period (each such period, a “Subscription Term”). Your subscription continues until cancelled by you or we terminate your access to or use of our Service in accordance with these Terms. All Subscription Plans will automatically renew until cancelled by you for renewal terms equal in length to the original Subscription Term. If you do not want a Subscription Plan to renew, you must cancel it at least thirty (30) days before the end of the Subscription Term by providing written notice to us of such cancellation (including by email to billing@vericlouds.com or via your account settings page on your User Account). If you purchase a Subscription Plan, we (or our third-party payment processor) will automatically charge you each year on the anniversary of the commencement of your subscription, using the payment information you have provided, until you cancel your subscription. By agreeing to these Terms and electing to purchase a Subscription Plan, you acknowledge that your Subscription Plan has recurring payment features and you accept responsibility for all recurring payment obligations prior to cancellation of your subscription by you or us.
6.4 Refunds.
You may cancel your User Account at any time; however, there are no refunds for cancellation. In the event that we suspend or terminate your User Account or these Terms, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund or exchange for any virtual property, any unused time on a subscription, any license or subscription fees for any portion of our Service, any content or data associated with your User Account, or for anything else.

You will not disclose Confidential Information except to employees and contractors who need to know it and have agreed in writing to keep it confidential; only you and those parties may use the Confidential Information, and only to exercise your rights and fulfill your obligations under these Terms, while using at least a reasonable degree of care to protect it. You shall notify us in writing immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information or any other breach of these Terms, and you will cooperate with us in every reasonable way to regain possession of Confidential Information and prevent any further unauthorized use.

In the event such protection is not obtained, you shall disclose the Confidential Information only to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable legal requirements.
