Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of veiocity.com and the Velocity publisher SDK (collectively, the "Service"), operated by Velocity, Inc. ("the Company") (156 5th Avenue, Suite 1200, New York, NY 10010). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The Service is available to two types of users: publishers who integrate the Velocity SDK into AI chat applications to earn revenue from contextual ad placements, and advertisers who purchase placements through the Velocity platform. Additional platform-specific terms governing publisher revenue share arrangements and advertiser campaign commitments are provided at the time of account registration and are incorporated into these Terms by reference.

2. Use of the Service

• You must be at least 18 years old, or have the consent of a parent or legal guardian, to use the Service.
• You agree not to use the Service for unlawful purposes, to interfere with its operation, or to attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system, account, or data.
• Publishers may not configure the Velocity SDK to request ad placements in contexts that target children under 13 or that involve content categories prohibited under the publisher's own platform terms.
• Advertisers represent that ad creative submitted to the platform complies with applicable advertising laws, FTC guidelines on disclosure (including the requirement that sponsored content be clearly labeled), and the platform's content policies.
• You may not scrape, reverse-engineer, or copy the Service except as permitted by applicable law.

3. Intellectual Property

The Service, including all text, graphics, logos, SDK code, and the contextual matching engine, is owned by the Company or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Service for its intended purpose: publishers to monetize AI chat conversations through contextual ads, advertisers to place contextually targeted campaigns. No other use is permitted without express written consent.

4. User Content and Publisher Data

You are responsible for any content you submit through the Service, including contact form submissions, ad creative, and publisher integration configurations. You represent that you have all necessary rights to submit such content and that it complies with applicable law.

Publishers acknowledge that conversation turn content transmitted to the Velocity SDK during normal operation is used solely for real-time contextual matching and is not stored or retained. Publishers are responsible for ensuring that their own platform's terms and privacy disclosures accurately reflect this data flow to their end users.

You grant the Company a limited license to use, store, and process submitted content as necessary to provide the Service and respond to your inquiries.

5. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT AD FILL RATES, RPM LEVELS, OR REVENUE OUTCOMES WILL MEET ANY PARTICULAR THRESHOLD; PUBLISHER EARNINGS DEPEND ON ADVERTISER DEMAND, CONVERSATION VOLUME, AND CONTEXTUAL MATCHING OUTCOMES THAT VARY OVER TIME.

6. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO THE COMPANY IN THE THREE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions, the Company's liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

7. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from (a) your use of the Service, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of any third-party right, or (d) ad creative you submitted that violates applicable advertising law or the rights of any person.

8. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms. Publishers whose accounts are terminated will receive a final earnings settlement for any balance owed under the revenue share arrangement. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10.

9. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

Informal Resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact the Company at [email protected] and attempt informal resolution for at least 60 days.

Arbitration. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be settled by binding arbitration administered in New York, USA under the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and the Company each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action.

Exception. Either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction located in New York, USA for intellectual-property infringement or unauthorized access to the Service.
