Please read section 13. It requires most disputes to be resolved by individual arbitration rather than in court, and it waives your right to participate in a class action. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.
These Terms are a binding agreement between you and Vera ("we", "us") governing your use of the Vera app and related services (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
You must be at least 13 years old to use Vera. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements and that you are not barred from using it under any applicable law.
You are responsible for your account credentials and for activity that occurs under your account. Keep your password confidential and tell us promptly at pollsplusapp@gmail.com if you believe your account has been compromised. You may delete your account at any time in Settings.
Vera accepts only media captured inside the app. There is no upload path, no camera-roll import, and no generative or AI-created content. Attempting to circumvent this — by modifying the app, tampering with the capture pipeline, or submitting media through any means other than the in-app camera — is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate termination.
You keep ownership of what you post. To operate the Service, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt (for formatting and delivery), publish, publicly perform and display the content you post, solely for the purpose of operating, promoting and improving the Service.
This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except that (a) copies may persist in backups for a limited period, and (b) content others have shared or re-shared may remain until they remove it.
You represent that you have all rights necessary to post your content, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights.
You agree not to post or do any of the following:
Content posted to Vera is screened automatically, and may also be reviewed by us following a report. We may remove content, restrict features, or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe create legal risk or harm to others. Where practical we will tell you why, but we may act without notice when the situation requires it.
We are not obligated to monitor content, and we do not endorse anything users post. You are solely responsible for your content.
We respond to valid copyright notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. See our Copyright / DMCA policy for how to submit a notice or counter-notice. We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
Every post and trend in the app can be reported. Reports are reviewed and content that breaks these rules is removed. You can also block any user, which prevents interaction in both directions.
The Service is under active development. We may add, change or discontinue features at any time. We may also suspend the Service for maintenance or for reasons outside our control.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that content will be preserved without loss. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL OR CONTENT, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $100.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.
Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.
13.1 Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration, you agree to contact us at pollsplusapp@gmail.com with a description of the dispute and the relief you want, and to give us 30 days to try to resolve it informally. We will do the same before bringing a claim against you.
13.2 Agreement to arbitrate. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, you and we agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The arbitrator's award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
13.3 Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property rights. Nothing in this section prevents you from reporting a matter to a government agency.
13.4 Class-action waiver. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court.
13.5 Costs. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules govern filing fees. Where those rules require, we will pay the portion of arbitration fees that exceeds what it would cost you to file the same claim in court.
13.6 How to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing pollsplusapp@gmail.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out", including your username, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out affects only arbitration — the rest of these Terms still apply, and opting out will not affect your account in any way.
13.7 Survival. This section survives termination of your account.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and we consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in King County, Washington. If you are a consumer outside the United States, you may also have the benefit of mandatory protections under the law of your country of residence.
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections 4 (as to licences already granted), 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 survive termination.
We may update these Terms. If a change is material, we will provide notice in the app or by email and, where required, ask you to accept the new version before continuing to use the Service. The version identifier at the top of this page tells you which version is current. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Copyright / DMCA policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
