You are responsible for all Content you submit, including ensuring that it does not violate applicable laws or these Terms. You represent and warrant that you own the Content you submit or have all rights, licenses, and permissions necessary to submit it.

Ownership of Content. You retain ownership of any Content you submit. By using the Services, you grant Verscia a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, and display your Content for the purpose of operating, maintaining, improving, and promoting the Services, complying with legal obligations, enforcing our Terms and policies, and ensuring safety. This license does not give Verscia rights over Content submitted by other buyers or providers.

Our Use of Content. We may use Content to provide, maintain, improve, and develop the Services, comply with legal obligations, enforce policies, and protect our buyers, providers, and the Services.

Intellectual Property

The Verscia platform, including its software, design, trademarks, and branding, is owned by Verscia or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted under these Terms, you may not use our trademarks, branding, or platform without our permission. Providers retain ownership of the content they upload, subject to the license granted under "Content and User Submissions" above.

Provider Profiles

Businesses are responsible for ensuring that the information published on their provider profiles is accurate, current, and does not infringe the rights of others.

Verscia may create business profiles using publicly available business information or information from trusted third-party sources. Businesses may claim eligible profiles and update their information after verification.

We reserve the right to edit, remove, suspend, or refuse any profile that is inaccurate, deceptive, infringes the rights of others, or violates these Terms.

Verification

Verification confirms that a provider has completed our review process. Verification does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, certification, or guarantee of a provider, its services, or the accuracy of every statement made in its profile.

Verscia may suspend or remove verification if a provider no longer meets our requirements or provides inaccurate information.

Quote Requests

Verscia allows buyers to contact providers and request quotes through the platform. We do not guarantee that providers will respond to inquiries, enter into agreements, or complete projects.

Any agreement resulting from a quote request is solely between the buyer and the provider. Verscia is not a party to those transactions.

Featured Profiles

Featured placement increases the visibility of eligible business profiles within Verscia. Purchasing Featured placement does not guarantee quote requests, business opportunities, search rankings outside Verscia, or commercial results.

We may change how Featured profiles appear or are displayed as the marketplace evolves.

Provider Responsibilities

Providers are responsible for maintaining accurate and current profile information, keeping contact information up to date, only uploading content they own or have permission to use, complying with applicable laws, and responding appropriately to buyer inquiries.

Search and Rankings

Search results, Featured placement, and recommendations may change over time based on factors including relevance, verification status, completeness, and other criteria we determine. Verscia does not guarantee any particular ranking, placement, or visibility for any profile.

Third-Party Services and Links

The Services may include links to third-party websites, platforms, or services, including for payments, support, or informational content. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of these third parties. Before providing any personal information to a third party, please review their privacy policies and terms of use.

Account and Billing

Billing. If you purchase Featured placement or other paid Services, you agree to provide complete and accurate billing information, including a valid payment method. For paid subscriptions, we will automatically charge your payment method on each agreed-upon renewal until you cancel. You are responsible for any applicable taxes, which we will charge where required by law. If a payment cannot be completed, we may suspend your access to paid features or downgrade your account until payment is received.

Cancellation. You may cancel Featured placement or other paid subscription at any time. Payments are non-refundable except where required by law. These Terms do not override any mandatory local laws regarding your cancellation rights.

Changes to Pricing.We may change our prices from time to time. If we increase subscription prices, we will provide at least 30 days' notice. Any price increase will take effect on your next renewal, giving you the opportunity to cancel if you do not agree to the new price.

Account Responsibility. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate and up-to-date information when creating or updating your account.

Marketplace Disclaimer

Verscia provides information to help buyers discover and compare providers. We do not verify every statement made by providers and do not guarantee the quality, availability, pricing, licensing, insurance, or performance of any business listed on the platform.

Buyers are responsible for evaluating providers before entering into any agreement.

Automated Features

Verscia may use automated technologies, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, to improve the Services. These technologies may assist with organizing information, improving search, identifying duplicate profiles, detecting spam or fraud, enhancing business profiles, or supporting other platform features.

Automated features are intended to assist the operation of the Services and may not always be accurate. Users remain responsible for reviewing information before relying on it.

Termination

You may stop using our Services at any time. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access, remove or suspend a business profile or verification, or delete your account, if we determine that:

• You have violated these Terms or any usage policies.
• We are required to do so to comply with applicable law.
• Your use of the Services could create a risk or cause harm to Verscia, our buyers, our providers, or others.

We may take any of these actions independently — for example, removing a profile or suspending marketplace privileges without deleting the underlying account.

Termination does not relieve you of any obligations or liabilities incurred prior to termination.

Appeals. If you believe your account, profile, or verification was suspended or removed in error, you may contact our Support team to submit an appeal. We will review your request and respond accordingly.

Availability

The Services may change over time. We may add, modify, or remove features, and the Services may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control. We are not liable for any unavailability or interruption of the Services.

Verscia currently provides Services to businesses and buyers in the United States and Canada, and we may expand to additional countries over time. If you access or use the Services from a country where they are not yet fully supported, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for complying with any applicable local laws.

Discontinuation of Services

We may choose to discontinue the Services at any time. If we do, we will provide advance notice and issue a refund for any prepaid, unused Services.

Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

Disclaimer of Warranties.

Our Services are provided "as is" and "as available." To the extent permitted by law, Verscia, its affiliates, and licensors make no warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, satisfactory quality, non-infringement, or uninterrupted and error-free service. Marketplace information, including business profiles, may contain inaccuracies. Provider information comes from providers and from public sources, and we do not guarantee its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. You should independently verify any information that is important to your decision before relying on it.

Limitation of Liability.

Neither Verscia nor its affiliates, licensors, or suppliers will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or use, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability under these Terms will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for the Services that gave rise to the claim in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages, so these limitations may not fully apply to you, and you may have additional rights. In such cases, our responsibility is limited to the maximum extent allowed by law.

Verscia's affiliates, suppliers, licensors, and distributors are intended third-party beneficiaries of this section.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Verscia, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from:

• Your violation of these Terms or applicable law.
• Your use of the Services or Content.

If you are a business or organization, to the extent permitted by law, you will also be responsible for any third-party claims, costs, or liabilities resulting from your use of the Services or Content, or from any breach of these Terms.

• Changes in law or regulatory requirements.
• Security or safety considerations.
• Circumstances beyond our control.
• Routine updates in the development of our Services.

We will provide at least 30 days' notice for changes that materially adversely affect you, via email or in-product notification. Other updates take effect when posted on our Website. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Services.

Delay in Enforcement. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later. If any portion of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be enforced to the maximum extent allowed, and the remainder will remain in effect.

Trade Controls. You must comply with all applicable trade laws, including sanctions and export control laws. Our Services may not be used in, exported to, or for the benefit of embargoed countries or restricted individuals or entities.
