1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of this website, including any applications, forms, newsletters, products and other content or features offered through it (together, the “Site”). “Vnev,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean the Vnev project, the individuals who operate it, any entity formed now or later to carry on its activities, and each of their successors, assigns, members, managers, officers, team members, advisors and agents. “You” means you and, if you use the Site on behalf of a company or other organization, that organization.

By accessing or using the Site, or by submitting an application or any other information, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

IMPORTANT: SECTION 13 CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND A CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 13, DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND VNEV WILL BE RESOLVED BY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, NOT IN COURT.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Site. If you are under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Site only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf. A parent or guardian who allows a minor to use the Site accepts these Terms for the minor and is responsible for the minor’s use of the Site.

By using the Site you represent that you meet these requirements and that you are not barred from using it under any applicable law.

3. Changes to the Site and these Terms

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Site at any time, for any reason, without notice or liability. We may revise these Terms at any time by posting the updated version on the Site and changing the “Last updated” date above. Changes take effect when posted, except that changes to section 13 will not apply to any dispute of which we had actual notice before the change. Your continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the revised Terms.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to help anyone else to:

  • use the Site in violation of any law or regulation, or to infringe anyone’s rights;
  • submit false, misleading or fraudulent information, impersonate any person, or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone;
  • submit anything that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, obscene or harmful, or that contains viruses or other malicious code;
  • submit personal information about another person without their permission;
  • access or attempt to access any part of the Site, or any system or data, that you are not authorized to access;
  • interfere with, overload or disrupt the Site, or bypass any security or access control;
  • scrape, crawl, harvest or collect data from the Site by automated means, except for search engines indexing public pages;
  • copy, modify, distribute, sell or create derivative works from the Site or its content, except as these Terms allow; or
  • use the Site to send spam or unsolicited communications.

We may investigate and take any action we consider appropriate in response to a violation, including blocking your access and reporting you to law enforcement.

5. No advice or relationship

Content on the Site is provided for general information only and is not legal, tax, accounting or professional advice.

Your use of the Site, and any application or communication you send us, does not create any employment, contractor, partnership, agency, advisory or other relationship between you and Vnev, and does not create any obligation on our part. Any engagement or other relationship will exist only if it is set out in a separate written agreement signed by both parties.

6. Applications and submissions

“Submissions” means everything you send us through the Site or otherwise, including applications, answers, work samples, ideas, videos, links, feedback and suggestions. You are solely responsible for your Submissions.

Accuracy and rights. You represent that your Submissions are accurate and complete, that you own them or have every right needed to share them with us, and that our receiving and using them as described in these Terms will not violate any law, contract or anyone’s rights, including intellectual property, privacy and confidentiality rights.

No obligation. We decide whether to review, respond to, accept or reject any Submission at our sole discretion, and we are not obligated to give reasons. Submitting an application does not guarantee any response, interview, position or other outcome, and we may change or close any application program at any time.

No confidentiality. We receive a large number of ideas and suggestions, and we may already be building, or planning to build, products that are similar to ones you describe. Submissions are not treated as confidential or proprietary, we do not sign non-disclosure agreements for them, and no confidential or fiduciary relationship is created by our receiving them. Do not send us anything you consider confidential, proprietary or a trade secret. You agree that nothing prevents us from building, launching or improving any product or idea, including ones similar to something you sent us, and you waive any claim that we did so using your Submission.

License. You keep ownership of your Submissions. You grant Vnev a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, copy, store, reproduce, and share your Submissions with our team members and advisors, for the purposes of evaluating you, communicating with you, operating and improving the Site and our programs, and keeping records. If you send us feedback or suggestions about the Site or Vnev, we may use them for any purpose without any obligation to you.

Third-party hosting. Videos and other materials you link to remain hosted on the service you choose (such as Loom, YouTube or Google Drive) and are subject to that service’s terms. You are responsible for the sharing settings of those materials.

7. Our intellectual property

The Site and all of its content, including text, graphics, design, code, the Vnev name and logo, and the selection and arrangement of content, are owned by Vnev or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Third-party names and logos belong to their respective owners, and their appearance on the Site does not imply any endorsement. Subject to these Terms, we give you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view the Site for your personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, email vnevdev@gmail.com with: a description of the work and where it appears on the Site; your contact information; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent or the law; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature.

9. Third-party sites and services

The Site links to, embeds or relies on websites, content and services operated by others, including social networks, Google services and video hosting platforms. We do not control and are not responsible for them, including their content, accuracy, availability, security or privacy practices, and a link is not an endorsement. Your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT, INFORMATION AND SERVICES ON OR THROUGH IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VNEV DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY AND QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. VNEV DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, THAT ANY SUBMISSION WILL BE RECEIVED, STORED OR REVIEWED, OR THAT ANY INFORMATION ON THE SITE IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE OR CURRENT. YOU USE THE SITE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you. In that case, the exclusions apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL VNEV BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL, DATA OR IDEAS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE, YOUR SUBMISSIONS, THESE TERMS OR ANY DECISION WE MAKE ABOUT AN APPLICATION, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND EVEN IF VNEV HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VNEV’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE, YOUR SUBMISSIONS OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100). THESE LIMITATIONS ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND VNEV AND APPLY EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, such as liability for fraud or for gross negligence or willful misconduct where the law does not permit it to be limited.

12. Indemnity and release

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Vnev from and against all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, your Submissions, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or anyone else’s rights. We may take over the defense of any such matter at your expense, and you will cooperate with us.

You release Vnev from all claims arising out of or relating to any decision we make about your application, and to any dispute between you and any third party, including other users. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” You waive any similar law of any other jurisdiction.

13. Dispute resolution: arbitration and class action waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

Informal resolution first. Before starting any arbitration or court proceeding, you and Vnev agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. The party raising the dispute must send a written notice describing it and the relief sought (to us at vnevdev@gmail.com; to you at the email address you gave us). If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days after the notice is received, either party may begin arbitration.

Agreement to arbitrate. You and Vnev agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Site, your Submissions, these Terms or their breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity (each, a “Dispute”), including whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration, will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, and not in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies, and either party may seek an injunction or other equitable relief in court to protect its intellectual property rights or to stop unauthorized access to the Site.

Rules and location. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (or its Comprehensive Rules, if the amount in controversy exceeds $250,000), as modified by this section, before a single arbitrator. For consumers, the JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards apply. The arbitration will take place by video or telephone where possible, or otherwise in the county where you live or another location we both agree on. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could, but only to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent needed to resolve that party’s individual claim. Fees will be paid according to the JAMS rules. The arbitrator’s award is final and may be entered as a judgment in any court with jurisdiction.

CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. YOU AND VNEV EACH AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON. YOU AND VNEV EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

If the class action waiver is found unenforceable as to any claim or request for relief, that claim or request (and only that one) will be severed and decided by a court under section 14 after all arbitrable claims are resolved, and the rest of this section will still apply.

Opting out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing vnevdev@gmail.com within 30 days after you first use the Site, with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” and your name and email address. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

Time limit. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Dispute must be brought within one (1) year after the claim arises, or it is permanently barred.

This section survives the end of your use of the Site and any termination of these Terms.

14. Governing law and venue

These Terms and any Dispute are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, where applicable, by the Federal Arbitration Act. Any Dispute that is not subject to arbitration, or any action to enforce an arbitration award, must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and you and Vnev consent to the personal jurisdiction of and venue in those courts.

15. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, for any reason, without notice. Sections 5, 6, and 9 through 16, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive, survive any termination.

16. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Vnev about the Site and replace any prior understandings. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest of these Terms will remain in effect (except as set out in section 13). Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them without restriction, including to any entity formed to carry on Vnev’s activities. We are not liable for any delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control. You agree that we may communicate with you electronically, and that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing. Headings are for convenience only, and “including” means “including without limitation.”
