1. Acceptance
By using verent.org or joining the Pluto waitlist, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or submit your information.
2. Who can use the site
You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a contract where you live. If you are using the site for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these terms.
3. What we offer right now
Today, Verent offers (a) a marketing and research website at verent.org, and (b) a waitlist for our first product, Pluto. Being on the waitlist does not guarantee access. When Pluto becomes generally available, it will have its own product terms; these terms do not grant any rights in the product itself.
4. Acceptable use
While using the site, please don’t:
- Submit information about someone other than yourself, or impersonate anyone.
- Scrape the site, probe it for vulnerabilities outside of a good-faith disclosure to security@verent.org, or attempt to disrupt service.
- Try to reverse-engineer the Verent simulation engine, related models, or any non-public infrastructure exposed through the site.
- Use the site to break the law, violate someone’s rights, or distribute malware.
5. Intellectual property
The site and its content, the Verent and Pluto names and logos, the simulation engine, the research posts, and the underlying models are owned by Verent or our licensors. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, revocable license to view the site for its intended purpose. You may share short quotes from research posts with attribution; please don’t copy the site or its content wholesale.
6. Research posts are not advice
The research we publish on this site is research. It is not financial, legal, medical, or professional advice, and it is not a prediction of any specific real-world outcome. Don’t make decisions about money, careers, or compliance solely on the basis of a Verent post.
7. Privacy
Our handling of your information is described in our privacy notice, which is part of these terms.
8. Disclaimers
The site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Verent disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Verent and its officers, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the site or these terms. Our total liability for any claim arising out of these terms is capped at US$100.
10. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold Verent harmless from any claim arising out of your breach of these terms or your misuse of the site.
11. Changes
We may update these terms when something material about how the site works changes. The “last updated” date at the top will move. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
12. Governing law & disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you and Verent consent to that venue.
