Terms of Service

Last updated: 21 August 2024
Effective date: 24 June 2024

Welcome to Vero! We provide a cloud-based platform (Platform) where website and application operators and owners and other individuals can access a variety of tools and resources (including our website) to enable them to collect user and usage data and to enable them to send messages via email and other channels to consumers based on their behaviour.

In these Terms, when we say you or your, we mean both you and any entity you are authorised to represent (such as your employer). If you are resident in Australia, you enter into these Terms with Vero Holdings Pty Ltd (ACN 618 607 613) (Vero). If you are resident outside of Australia, you enter into these Terms with Invc.me, Inc (EIN 45-4254058) (Invc.me). In these Terms, when we say we, us or our, we mean Vero or Invc.me (as applicable, and as shown on the invoices you receive from us).

These Terms, including our Acceptable Use Policy (accessible here), form our contract with you, and set out our obligations as a service provider and your obligations as a customer. You cannot use our Services unless you agree to these Terms.

Some capitalised words in these Terms have defined meanings, and each time that word is used in these Terms it has the same meaning. You can find a list of the defined words and their meaning at the end of these Terms.

For questions about these Terms, or to get in touch with us, please email: support@getvero.com.

Our Disclosures

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU ACCEPT. We draw your attention to the following:

  • Our Privacy Policy (on our website) which sets out how we will handle your Personal Information;
  • Clause 1.3 (Variations) which sets out how we may amend these Terms;
  • Clause 4 (Subscription) which sets out important information about your Subscription, including whether you can cancel your Subscription and whether your Subscription auto-renews;
  • Clause 10 (Liability) which sets out exclusions and limitations to our liability under these Terms; and
  • You acknowledge and agree that any information, advice, material or work provided by us as part of the Services does not constitute legal, financial, due diligence or risk management advice.

We may receive a benefit (which may include a referral fee or a commission) should you visit certain third party websites through a link on our Platform, or for featuring certain goods or services on our Platform.

These Terms do not intend to limit your rights and remedies at law, including any of your Consumer Law Rights.

  1. Engagement and Term

    1. These Terms apply from when you sign up for an Account until the date on which your Account is terminated in accordance with these Terms. We grant you a right to use our Services for this period of time only.
    2. You must be at least 18 years old to use our Platform.
    3. Variations: We may amend these Terms at any time, by providing written notice to you. By clicking "I accept" or continuing to use our Platform after the notice or 30 days after notification (whichever date is earlier), you agree to the amended Terms. If you do not agree to the amendment, you may close your Account and cancel your Subscription with effect from the date of the change in these Terms by providing written notice to us. If you cancel your Subscription:
      1. you will no longer be able to access our Services (including our Platform) on and from the date of cancellation; and
      2. if you have paid Subscription Fees upfront, you will be issued a pro-rata refund based on the portion of the Subscription Period remaining.

  2. Our Services

    1. We provide the following services to you:
      1. access to our Platform;
      2. access to our troubleshooting support (Support Services); and
      3. any other services set out in an Order Form, (collectively, our Services).
    2. If you require Support Services, you may request these by getting in touch with us through our Platform.
    3. Unless we agree otherwise, Support Services cannot be used to support any other products or services, and does not include training, installation of software or hardware, software development or the modification, deletion or recovery of data or any on-site services.
    4. Where we require access to your premises or computer systems in order to provide our Services, you agree to provide us with such access free from risk to the safety of our employees and contractors.
    5. We will not be responsible for any other services unless expressly set out on in these Terms or on our Platform.
    6. Additional Services: If you require additional services, we may, in our sole discretion, provide such additional services (to be scoped and priced in a separate contract provided by us).
    7. Beta Services: If we provide you with access to any new or beta services, you acknowledge that because of the developmental nature of such services, you use them at your own risk and we have no obligation to maintain or provide error corrections. Any new or beta services we provide you with access to are for evaluation purposes only and not for production use, and we may discontinue those services at any time at our sole discretion.
    8. Third Party Products or Services: Where you engage third parties to operate alongside our Services (for example, any third-party software systems you wish to integrate with our Platform), those third parties are independent of us and you are responsible for (meaning we will not be liable for) the goods or services they provide, unless we expressly agree otherwise under clause 2.6.
    9. Fair Use: Your access to our Services (including our Platform) is subject to your commercially reasonable and fair use of our Services. If we consider your usage to be unreasonable, we will inform you and may adjust your Subscription Fees to reflect your increased resource use. If you do not agree to an amendment, you may close your Account and cancel your Subscription with effect from the date of the change in these Terms by providing written notice to us. If you cancel your Subscription:
      1. you will no longer be able to access our Services (including our Platform) on and from the date of cancellation; and
      2. if you have paid Subscription Fees upfront, you will be issued a pro-rata refund based on the portion of the Subscription Period remaining.
    10. Message Pricing: If not included in your Subscription, all delivery prices for email and other messaging channels are subject to change, and will be set out on our Platform whenever you use our Platform to send a campaign.
    11. HTML Email Messages: We make no guarantee that HTML messages will be rendered properly on all recipients' email platforms, due to the wide variety of HTML generation tools available and the wide variety of email platforms used. We will make every reasonable attempt to make sure that all email messages sent through our servers follow HTML email standards but we cannot guarantee that messages will look consistent across all email platforms. For example, if you use Microsoft Word to generate HTML email messages, it is expected that recipients of your message using a non-Microsoft email application may have difficulty reading your message. For best results when generating your own HTML email, we recommend the use of HTML editors that generate HTML that adheres to W3C standards. If you use Vero’s message editing tools to generate your HTML email message, we cannot guarantee it will render as expected across all possible email platform.

  3. Account

    1. You must sign up for an Account in order to access and use our Platform.
    2. You may register for an Account using your Google account (Single Sign-On Account). If you sign in to your Account using a Single Sign-On Account, you authorise us to access information from your Single Sign-On Account including your name and contact information.
    3. You may invite Authorised Users to access and use our Services under your Account. Each of your Authorised Users will require a login (which is linked to your Account), in order to access and use our Platform. You are responsible for ensuring that your Authorised Users comply with these Terms. You may change who your Authorised Users are at any time in the Platform through your Account, and what access rights or permissions they have when using our Platform. Any limitations on the number of Authorised Users you can have will be set out in your Account or on our Platform.
    4. While you have an Account with us, you agree to (and to ensure your Authorised Users agree to):
      1. keep your information up-to-date (and ensure it remains true, accurate and complete);
      2. keep usernames and passwords secure and confidential, and protect them from misuse or being stolen; and
      3. notify us if you become aware of, or have reason to suspect, any unauthorised access to your Account or any logins linked to your Account.

  4. Subscriptions

    1. Once you have created your Account, you may choose a Subscription.
    2. The Subscriptions we offer will be set out on our Platform or in an Order Form, including details of each Subscription’s features and limitations, Subscription Fees and Subscription Periods.
    3. During the Subscription Period, you will be billed for the Subscription Fees on a recurring basis, as set out on our Platform (Billing Cycle).
    4. Your Subscription can be upgraded or downgraded at any time through your Account or by contacting our Support Services. Any upgrades to your Subscription will take effect immediately (and you will be charged the difference between your current Subscription and your new Subscription on a pro-rata basis). Any downgrades to your Subscription will take effect from the beginning of the next Billing Cycle.
    5. You will be billed for any Subscription Fees due at the beginning of each Billing Cycle. Our payments methods will be set out on our Platform. If you choose to pay your Subscription Fees using one of our third-party payment processors, you may need to accept their terms and conditions (if this is the case, these will be set out on our Platform).
    6. You must not pay, or attempt to pay, any Subscription Fees by fraudulent or unlawful means. If you make payment by debit or credit card, you must be the authorised card holder. If payment is made by direct debit, by providing your bank account details and accepting these Terms, you authorise our nominated third-party payment processor to debit your bank account in accordance with your chosen Subscription, and you confirm that you are either the holder or an authorised signatory of that bank account.
    7. Cancellation: Your Subscription continues for the Subscription Period, and at the end of each Subscription Period, provided you have paid all Subscription Fees owing, your Subscription will be automatically renewed for recurring monthly periods (each of which will be considered a Subscription Period). If you wish to cancel your Subscription, you may do so through your Account or by contacting our Support Services. Your cancellation will take effect at the end of your current Subscription Period, and your Subscription will not be renewed (meaning you will need to continue paying all Subscription Fees due up until your current Subscription Period ends).
    8. Late Payments: If any Subscription Fees are not paid on time, we may:
      1. suspend your access our Services (including access to our Platform); and
      2. charge interest on any overdue payments at a rate of 10% per annum, calculated daily and compounding monthly.
    9. Trial Periods: When you first sign up for an Account, we may offer you the option to try a Subscription out for free, for the period of time set out in our offer. At the end of this free trial, you will lose access to our Platform unless you purchase a Subscription before that time.
    10. Taxes: You are responsible for paying any levies or taxes associated with your use of our Services, for example sales, services, use and excise taxes, value-added taxes or withholding taxes (unless we are required by law to collect these on your behalf) imposed by any local, state or federal law or government authority, but excluding any taxes imposed on our income. If you are required by law to deduct or withhold tax from any amount payable to us under these Terms, you agree to pay to us an additional amount that will, after such deduction or withholding has been made, leave us with the same amount as we would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any requirement to make such a deduction or withholding.

  5. Platform Licence

    1. While you have an Account, we grant you and your Authorised Users a right to use our Platform (which may be suspended or revoked in accordance with these Terms and our Acceptable Use Policy). This right cannot be passed on or transferred to any other person and, if you have a Subscription, will also be subject to the conditions of your Subscription (as set out on our Platform or in your Account).
    2. You must not (and you must ensure that your Authorised Users do not):

      2. interfere with or interrupt the supply of our Platform, or any other person’s access to or use of our Platform;
      3. introduce any viruses or other malicious software code into our Platform;
      4. use any unauthorised or modified version of our Platform, including but not limited to for the purpose of building similar or competitive software or for the purpose of obtaining unauthorised access to our Platform;
      5. attempt to access any data or log into any server, machine, service, account or other component that you are not expressly authorised to access;
      6. use our Platform in any way that involves service bureau use, outsourcing, renting, reselling, sublicensing, concurrent use of a single user login, or time-sharing;
      7. circumvent user authentication or security of any of our networks, accounts or hosts or those of any third party;
      8. access or use our Platform to transmit, publish or communicate material that is, spam, defamatory, offensive, abusive, indecent, menacing, harassing, gambling-related, pay day lender-related, pyramid scheme-related, pharmaceutical-related, a chain letter, Sensitive Data or otherwise unwanted; or
      9. breach our Acceptable Use Policy.

  6. Availability, Disruption and Downtime

    1. While we strive to always make our Services available to you, we do not make any promises that these will be available 100% of the time. Our Services may be disrupted during certain periods, including, for example, as a result of scheduled or emergency maintenance.
    2. Our Services (including our Platform) may interact with, or be reliant on, products or services provided by third parties, such as cloud hosting service providers.

    3. We will try to provide you with reasonable notice, where possible, of any disruptions to your access to our Services.

    1. We own all intellectual property rights in our Services (including our Platform). This includes how our Platform looks and functions, as well as our copyrighted works, trademarks, inventions, designs and other intellectual property. You agree not to copy or otherwise misuse our intellectual property without our written permission (for example, to reverse engineer or discover the source code of our intellectual property), and you must not alter or remove any confidentiality, copyright or other ownership notice placed on our Platform.
    2. We may use any feedback or suggestions that you give us in any manner which we see fit (for example, to develop new features), and no benefit will be owed to you as a result of any use by us of your feedback or suggestions. Your Data
    3. We do not own any of Your Data, but when you enter or upload any of Your Data into our Platform, you grant us the right to access, analyse, backup, copy, store, transmit, and otherwise use Your Data while you have an Account with us (and for a reasonable period of time afterwards). We may use Your Data (or disclose it to third party service providers) to:
      1. supply our Services to you and your Authorised Users (for example, to enable you and your Authorised Users to access and use our Services), and otherwise perform our obligations under these Terms;
      2. diagnose problems with our Services;
      3. improve, develop and protect our Services;
      4. send you information we think may be of interest to you based on your marketing preferences; or

    5. You are responsible for (meaning we are not liable for):
      1. the integrity of Your Data on your systems, networks or any device controlled by you or your Authorised Users; and
      2. backing up Your Data.
    6. When you use our Services, we may create anonymised statistical data from Your Data and usage of our Services (for example, through aggregation). Once anonymised, we own that data and may use it for our own purposes, such as to provide and improve our Services, to develop new services or product offerings, to identify business trends, and for other uses we communicate to you. This may include making such anonymised data publicly available, provided it is not compiled using a sample size small enough to make underlying portions of Your Data identifiable.
    7. If you do not provide Your Data to us, it may impact your ability to receive our Services. User Content
    8. You may be permitted to post, upload, publish, submit or transmit relevant information and content (User Content) on the Platform.

    10. If you breach or we suspect you may be in breach of these Terms, we may, at any time (at our sole discretion):
      1. delete any User Content;
      2. suspend or terminate your Account (and any associated or linked Accounts), along with all User Content associated with that Account; and
      3. suspend or permanently ban your access to our Platform. We will notify you of the action taken, providing 14 days for you to respond.

  8. Confidential Information and Personal Information

    1. While using our Services, you may share confidential information with us, and you may become aware of confidential information about us. You agree not to use our confidential information, and to take reasonable steps to protect our confidential information from being disclosed without our permission, and we agree to do the same for your confidential information. This also means making sure that any Authorised Users, employees, contractors, professional advisors or agents of ours or yours only have access to confidential information on a ‘need-to-know basis’ (in other words, the disclosure is absolutely necessary), and that they also agree to not misuse or disclose such confidential information.
    2. However, either you or we may share confidential information with legal or regulatory authorities if required by law to do so.
    3. We collect, hold and disclose and use any Personal Information you provide to us in accordance with our Privacy Policy, available on our website, and applicable privacy laws.

    5. We may need to disclose Personal Information to third parties, such as our related companies or our service providers (for example, IT and administrative service providers and our professional advisors).
    6. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you must not (and you must ensure that your Authorised Users do not) disclose, submit or upload any Sensitive Data to us or via the Platform.
    7. Where we are required by law to report on our activities, you acknowledge that from time to time we may request certain information from you in order to meet our requirements, and you agree to provide us with such information within the timeframes reasonably requested by us.

We will only be bound by your Consumer Law Rights and the express wording of these Terms. Our liability for a breach of your Consumer Law Rights is, unless the laws of your jurisdiction state otherwise, limited to either resupplying our Services, or paying the cost of having our Services resupplied.
    2. Subject to your Consumer Law Rights, we do not provide a refund for a change of mind or change in circumstance.
    3. If you accept these Terms in Australia, nothing in these Terms should be interpreted to exclude, restrict or modify the application of, or any rights or remedies you may have under, any part of the Australian Consumer Law (as set out in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)).

  11. Suspension and Termination

    1. We may suspend your access to our Services where we reasonably believe there has been any unauthorised access to or use of our Services (such as the unauthorised sharing of login details for our Platform). If we suspend your access to our Services, we will let you know within a reasonable time of doing so, and we will work with you to resolve the matter, or if it cannot be resolved, then we may terminate your Account and your access to our Services will end.
    2. We may terminate these Terms (meaning you will lose access to our Services, including access to your Account, and any Subscription will be cancelled) if:
      1. you fail to pay your Subscription Fees when they are due;

  12. General

    1. Assignment: You may not transfer or assign these Terms (including any benefits or obligations you have under these Terms) to any third party without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer these Terms to a third party, or transfer any debt owed by you to us to a debt collector or other third party.
    2. Disputes: Neither we or you may commence court proceedings relating to any dispute, controversy or claim arising from, or in connection with, these Terms (including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination) (Dispute) unless we and you first meet (in good faith) to resolve the Dispute. Nothing in this clause will operate to prevent us or you from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. If the Dispute is not resolved at that initial meeting:
      1. where you are resident or incorporated in Australia, refer the matter to mediation, administered by the Australian Disputes Centre in accordance with Australian Disputes Centre Guidelines for Commercial Mediation;
      2. where you are resident or incorporated within the United States of America, refer the matter to mediation administered in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association, which shall be responsible for appointing the mediator and determining the mediator’s remuneration; or
      3. where you are not resident or incorporated in Australia or within the United States of America, refer the matter to arbitration administered by the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration, with such arbitration to be conducted in Sydney, New South Wales, before one arbitrator, in English and in accordance with the ACICA Arbitration Rules.
    3. Events Outside Our Control: We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform our obligations (including our Services), if such delay or failure is caused or contributed to by an event or circumstance beyond our reasonable control.
    4. JURY WAIVER: TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE RELATIONSHIP CONTEMPLATED BY THESE TERMS.
    5. Governing law: If you are being invoiced by Vero, these Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, and any matter relating to these Terms is to be determined exclusively by the courts in New South Wales and any courts entitled to hear appeals from those courts. If you are being invoiced by Invc.me, these Terms are governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and agrees that any legal proceeding arising out of or in connection with these Terms will be brought in, the state courts operating in Delaware (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in any appropriate federal court within the State of Delaware). Each party irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, any objections or defense based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or venue.
    6. Illegal Requests: We reserve the right to refuse any request for, or in relation to, our Services that we deem inappropriate, unethical, unreasonable, illegal or otherwise non-compliant with these Terms.
    7. Interpretation: The headings in these Terms are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of these Terms. Each party represents and warrants that it has had the opportunity to seek independent legal advice in connection with these Terms and the transactions contemplated by these Terms. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in these Terms against the drafting party has no application and is expressly waived. The term “including” and words of similar meaning when used in these Terms will mean “including, without limitation” unless otherwise specified.
    8. Marketing: You agree that we may send you electronic communications about our products and services. You may opt-out at any time by using the unsubscribe function in our electronic communications.
    9. Nature of Legal Relationship: These Terms do not create, and should not be interpreted so as to create, a partnership, joint venture, employment or agency relationship between us and you. These Terms are for the sole benefit of us and you and our respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in these Terms (express or implied) is intended to confer upon any other party any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature as a result of these Terms.
    10. Notices: Any notice you send to us must be sent to the email set out at the beginning of these Terms. Any notice we send to you will be sent to the email address registered against your Account.
    11. Publicity: You agree that we may advertise or publicise the fact you are a customer of ours, for example on our website or in our promotional material, and you grant us a right to display and use your logo and branding solely for that purpose.
    12. Survival: Clauses 7 to 11 will survive the termination or expiry of these Terms.
    13. Third Party Sites: Our Platform may contain links to websites operated by third parties. Unless we tell you otherwise, we do not control, endorse or approve, and are not responsible for, the content on those websites. We recommend that you make your own investigations in relation to the suitability of those websites. If you purchase goods or services from a third party website linked from our Platform, those goods or services are being provided by that third party, not us. We may receive a benefit (which may include a referral fee or a commission) should you visit certain third party websites through a link on our Platform, or for featuring certain goods or services on our Platform. We will make it clear by notice to you which (if any) goods or services, or website links, we receive a benefit from by featuring them on our Platform.
