Veehd Plugin Terms of Service
Welcome to www.veehd.com (the “Site”), a website operated by Veehd Plugin Limited
(“Veehd Plugin”,
“we”,
“us”, or
“our”). We provide
our users (each user, “you”)
with turn-key monetization solutions powered by Bing, Yahoo! and other leading search
providers (collectively, the “Services”). The following terms and conditions
(the “Terms of Service”)
form a binding agreement between you and us.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY. BY
ACCESSING THE SITE AND USING THE SERVICES YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF
SERVICE. IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY
OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY TO
ALL OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, IN WHICH CASE THE TERMS “YOU” OR
“YOUR” SHALL REFER TO SUCH ENTITY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY,
OR IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE
THIS SITE. YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS IN ORDER TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT, TO CREATE OTHER RECORDS AND TO THE ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES,
POLICIES AND RECORDS OF TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN YOU AND VEEHD PLUGIN WITH RESPECT TO THIS

Some Services may also be subject to additional
guidelines, rules, or terms (“Additional
Terms”). For example, any use of the Veehd Plugin Toolbar is
governed by the Veehd Plugin Toolbar Terms and Conditions. If there is any conflict between the
Terms of Service and the Additional Terms, the Additional Terms take precedence in
relation to that Service. The Additional Terms for such Services will be incorporated
by reference in these Terms of Service.
We may at our sole discretion change, add, or delete
portions of these Terms of Service at any time on a going-forward basis. It is your
responsibility to check these Terms of Service for changes prior to use of the Site,
and in any event your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes to
these Terms of Service constitutes your acceptance of any changes. We will notify you
of any such material changes by posting notice of the changes on the Site, and/or, in
our sole discretion, by email.
- PARTNER ACCOUNTS. If you are a partner and want to receive reports, materials or other
customized content related to the websites you operate that use our solutions

- PRIVACY. We know that your
privacy is important. For this reason, we have created a Privacy Policy that
describes our collection, use and disclosure practices regarding any personal
information that you provide to us. The security of your personal information
is important to us. While there is no such thing as "perfect security" on the
Internet, we will take reasonable steps to help ensure the safety of your personal
information. However, you understand and agree that such steps do not guarantee that
the Site and the Services are invulnerable to all security breaches or immune from
viruses, security threats or other vulnerabilities.
- DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND/OR SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE
RISK. THE SITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY US ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE"
BASIS. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND,
WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE,
OPERABILITY, CONDITION, QUIET ENJOYMENT, VALUE, ACCURACY OF DATA AND SYSTEM
INTEGRATION. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT THE SITE, AND/OR SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR
REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT THE SITE AND/OR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE,
OR ERROR FREE; NOR DO WE MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED
FROM THE USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE SITE OR SERVICES

TO YOUR COMPUTER SERVICES OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OF SUCH
MATERIAL AND/OR INFORMATION. NO CONTENT, ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR
WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM US THROUGH THE SITE, SERVICES, OR OTHERWISE WILL CREATE
ANY WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION OR GUARANTEE NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS OF
SERVICE.
- LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE ARE ONLY WILLING TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE SITE
AND TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES IF YOU AGREE TO CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OF OUR LIABILITY TO
YOU AND TO THIRD PARTIES. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER
APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, PARENTS,
SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES
FOR LOSS OF REVENUES, PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, OR BUSINESS
INTERRUPTIONS OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF SUCH PARTIES WERE ADVISED OF, KNEW
OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY), ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO
YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO, OR THE INABILITY TO USE OR TO ACCESS, THE SITE OR THE
SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), WARRANTY, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT WILL WE
BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY

or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages.
Accordingly, some of the above limitations and disclaimers may not apply to
you. To the extent that we may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any
implied warranty or limit liabilities, the scope and duration of such warranty and
the extent of our liability will be the minimum permitted under such applicable
law.
Without limiting the foregoing, under no circumstances

resulting directly or indirectly from acts of nature, forces, or causes beyond our
reasonable control, including, without limitation, Internet failures, computer

attorneys' fees and court costs) that such parties may incur as a result of or
arising from: (a) your use of the Veehd Plugin Content, Site, or Services; (b) any of your
User Content or your use of others’ User Content; (c) your violation of these

US BUT WHICH OPERATE UNDER DIFFERENT TERMS OF SERVICE. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO
REVIEW THE PRIVACY POLICIES AND TERMS OF SERVICE OF ANY OTHER WEBSITE YOU VISIT.
YOU AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
WEBSITES, CONTENT, PRODUCTS, MATERIALS, OR PRACTICES OF ANY THIRD PARTY.
- Electronic Communications.
We can only give you the benefits of our service by
conducting business through the Internet, and therefore we need you to consent to our
giving you Communications electronically. This Section 14 informs you of your rights
when receiving Communications from us electronically. For contractual purposes,
you (i) consent to receive communications from us in an electronic form; and (ii)
agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, documents, disclosures, and
other communications (“Communications”) that we provide to you
electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such Communications would satisfy
if it were in a writing. Your consent to receive Communications and do business
electronically, and our agreement to do so, applies to all of your interactions and
transactions with us. The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.
You may also receive a copy of these Terms of Service by accessing this Site.
You may withdraw your consent to receive Communications electronically by
contacting us in the manner described below. If you withdraw your consent, from that
time forward, you must stop using the Site and Services. The withdrawal of your
consent will not affect the legal validity and enforceability of any obligations or
any electronic Communications provided or business transacted between us prior to the
time you withdraw your consent. Please keep us informed of any changes in your
email or mailing address so that you continue to receive all Communications without
interruption.
- General Terms. You
are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws. The Terms of Service
and the relationship between you and Veehd Plugin will be governed by the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, without giving effect to any choice of laws principles that
would require the application of the laws of a different country or state. Any
legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Terms of Service,
or your use of the Site or Services must be instituted non-exclusively in the federal
or state courts located in Fairfax County, Virginia and in any other jurisdiction.
You further consent to exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue in, and agree
to service of process issued or authorized by, any such court. These Terms of
Service are personal to you, and you may not transfer, assign or delegate your right
and/or duties under these Terms of Service to anyone else and any attempted
assignment or delegation is void. You acknowledge that we have the right
hereunder to seek an injunction, if necessary, to stop or prevent a breach of your
obligations hereunder. The paragraph headings in these Terms of Service, shown
in boldface type, are included only to help make these Terms of Service easier to
read and have no binding effect. Any delay or failure by us to exercise or
enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver
of such right or provision. No waiver by us will have effect unless such waiver
is set forth in writing, signed by us; nor will any such waiver of any breach or
default constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. These Terms of
Service constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between you and us with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior oral or written
understandings, communications or agreements. If for any reason a court of competent
jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms of Service, or portion thereof, to be
unenforceable, that provision of the Terms of Service will be enforced to the maximum
extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of
these Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542,
which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not
know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if
known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the
debtor."
- SURVIVAL. Sections 1, 2,
4, 5 and 7 through 17, as well as any other limitations on liability explicitly set
forth herein and our proprietary rights in and to the Site, Veehd Plugin Content, User
Content, Feedback, Our Technology and the Services, will survive the expiration or
termination of these Terms of Service for any reason.
- NOTICE; VIOLATIONS. We may give notice to you by email, a posting on the Site, or other
reasonable means. You must give notice to us in writing via email to support@veehd.com or
as otherwise expressly provided. Please report any violations of these Terms of
Service to support@veehd.com.
