These Terms of Use govern access to and use of UltraDb, the electrical acceptance and maintenance testing platform operated by Verlecta. By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these terms.
UltraDb is currently offered as an open beta. By signing up for an account, inviting members, or otherwise using the Service, you - and everyone using the Service under your account - agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy. The Service is intended for business and professional use by individuals at least 18 years of age.
If you are accepting these terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity, in which case "you" refers to that entity.
Verlecta owns all right, title, and interest in and to the UltraDb platform, including its software, user interface, and infrastructure, and the UltraDb proprietary form library - more than 90 test and inspection forms authored from published industry standards - together with the report templates, layouts, and formatting UltraDb uses to render sealed test reports (collectively, the "Proprietary Materials"). The Proprietary Materials are protected by copyright, trade secret, and other intellectual-property laws.
Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of the Proprietary Materials to you. Your account grants you a license to use the Proprietary Materials as part of the Service, described in Section 3, and no more. If you send {company} feedback or suggestions about the Service, {company} may use them without restriction and without obligation to you.
Subject to these terms, Verlecta grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the UltraDb platform and the Proprietary Materials solely to create, complete, and deliver your own electrical test and inspection reports through the Service, for so long as your account remains active and in good standing.
This license does not include any right to use the Proprietary Materials outside the Service, to sublicense them to a third party, or to build a competing product or service from them.
Without Verlecta's prior written consent, you agree not to:
As between you and Verlecta, you own the test data you and your team enter into or upload to the Service - readings, measurements, results, notes, photographs, and attachments (your "Test Data"). We process your Test Data solely to provide the Service to you, as described in the Privacy Policy.
A sealed test report generated from your Test Data belongs to you and your customer once it is issued. The underlying report template, layout, and formatting - the presentation Verlecta designed - remain Verlecta's property; sealing a report does not transfer ownership of the template to you.
You are responsible for the accuracy of the Test Data you enter and for any professional-engineering review or seal your organization applies before a report is delivered to a customer.
The Service is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis during the beta period described above. Features may change, be added, or be removed without notice during beta.
Free access during beta is offered at Verlecta's discretion and is subject to change - including the introduction of paid plans - with reasonable advance notice to account owners before any change takes effect for existing accounts.
Verlecta does not offer a service-level agreement (SLA) or uptime guarantee during beta. We work to keep the Service available and to protect your Test Data, but we make no warranty of continuous, uninterrupted, or error-free operation.
Where account verification requires a card on file, that card is used only to verify, through Stripe, our payment processor, that you control a valid payment card; card details are entered directly with Stripe and are never sent to or stored on our servers. You will not be charged during beta, and no beta account is billed against that card without your separate, affirmative agreement to paid terms first.
You agree not to use the Service to:
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly through our contact page if you suspect unauthorized use.
Account owners and administrators are responsible for the members they invite and for that member's access to the account's Test Data, forms, and reports.
You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time by contacting us. We may suspend or terminate an account that violates these terms, poses a security risk, or - during beta - remains inactive for an extended period, with notice where practicable.
On termination, your license to the Proprietary Materials ends immediately. You can export your Test Data before closing your account, or request an export through our contact page, as described in the Privacy Policy; after closure, we may delete remaining account data following a reasonable wind-down period. Sections 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 15, and 16 survive termination.
Except as expressly stated in these terms, the Service and the Proprietary Materials are provided without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Verlecta does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that the grading, tolerance, or acceptance-value logic in a form will match every edition of every referenced standard.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Verlecta will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Verlecta's total liability for any claim arising from these terms or the Service will not exceed the amount you paid Verlecta for the Service in the twelve months before the claim arose, or one hundred dollars ($100) if you paid nothing, as is typical during beta. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions, the exclusions in Section 10 and the limits in this Section 11 apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from these terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. If you are an individual consumer and a mandatory consumer-protection law of your place of residence grants you rights, or a forum, that this section cannot lawfully limit, nothing in these terms overrides that law.
We may update these terms from time to time, most often to reflect changes in the Service or in applicable law. We will post the updated terms at this address and update the "Last updated" date above; for material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify account owners in advance. Continued use of the Service after an update takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. No change applies retroactively to a dispute that arose before the change took effect.
UltraDb references ASTM, ANSI, IEEE, and NETA standards, and the Megger trademark, descriptively - to identify the published methods and instrumentation its forms and content are built from or compared against. Verlecta and UltraDb are not affiliated with, endorsed by, certified by, or licensed by NETA, ASTM, ANSI, IEEE, or Megger. Standard designations and trademarks referenced on the Service remain the property of their respective owners.
Severability. If any provision of these terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.
Entire agreement. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Verlecta regarding the Service and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understandings about it.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these terms or your account without Verlecta's prior written consent. Verlecta may assign these terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.
No waiver. A failure by Verlecta to enforce any provision of these terms is not a waiver of its right to enforce that provision, or any other provision, later.
Force majeure. Verlecta is not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, power or network failures, hosting-provider outages, labor disputes, war, or governmental action.
Export controls. The Service is operated from the United States. You may not use the Service in violation of applicable United States export-control or sanctions laws, and you represent that you are not located in an embargoed jurisdiction or named on a United States restricted-party list.
These Terms of Use are drafted in English. Spanish and French translations are provided for your convenience; in the event of any conflict or ambiguity between the English text and a translation, the English text governs.
