These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website at verenlabs.com (the “Website”), operated by Veren, Inc. (“Veren,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware corporation.

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Website. If you use the Website on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on its behalf.

2. Description of service

Veren develops and operates an AI-native estate settlement platform (the “Platform”) used by law firms, appointed fiduciaries, and the families they serve. The Website provides general information about Veren and allows visitors to contact us and express interest in becoming a design partner or receiving access. Access to the Platform is invitation-only, is provided to authorized organizations and the users they invite, and is governed by a separate written agreement rather than these Terms. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Website at any time, with or without notice.

Veren does not provide legal, tax, accounting, investment, appraisal, or other professional advice.

Veren prepares drafts, organizes records, extracts and structures information, tracks deadlines, and performs administrative tasks at the direction of its users. Every legal judgment, every decision about what to file or serve, and every communication with a court remains the sole responsibility of the licensed attorney or the appointed fiduciary of record. Output generated by the Platform, including output produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence, is a draft for review by a qualified professional and must not be relied upon as a finished legal instrument or as professional advice. Artificial intelligence can produce errors and omissions, and the reviewing professional is responsible for verifying any output before it is used or filed.

The Website may describe products, features, services, or plans that are under development or not yet available. All such information is subject to change without commitment, and nothing on the Website is an offer or solicitation of any product, service, or security.

The Website and its content are provided for general informational purposes only and are not, and should not be relied on as, legal, tax, financial, or other professional advice. Your access to or use of the Website does not create an attorney-client, fiduciary, advisory, or other professional relationship between you and Veren or anyone associated with Veren. No such relationship, account, engagement, or service is created unless and until you and Veren enter into a separate written agreement. When Veren makes its platform or estate settlement services available, your use of them will be governed by separate terms presented to you at that time, which will control over these Terms with respect to that use.

3. Accounts and eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a legally binding contract to use the Website. By using the Website, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements and that your use complies with all applicable laws.

The Website does not offer public self-service registration. Access to the Platform is invitation-only: an authorized organization invites its users, and accounts are provisioned by that organization or by Veren at its direction. If you are granted access, you are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for maintaining the security of your credentials, and for all activity under your account, and you must notify us promptly at legal@verenlabs.com of any suspected unauthorized use.

4. Acceptable use

Subject to these Terms, Veren grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Website for your personal, non-commercial, informational purposes.

The Website and its content, including text, graphics, images, layout, design, and the “Veren” name, logos, and other trademarks (the “Content”), are owned by Veren or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property and other laws. Except for the limited license above, we grant you no right, title, or interest in the Website or the Content, and you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or otherwise exploit any Content without our prior written permission. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

You agree that you will not:

• Use the Website for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, its systems, or related networks
• Interfere with, disrupt, or place an unreasonable load on the Website or its infrastructure
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Website, or breach or circumvent any security or authentication measure
• Use any robot, scraper, or other automated means to access or extract data from the Website, except for standard search engine indexing or as we expressly permit
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of any part of the Website
• Introduce any virus, malware, or other harmful code
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or impersonate any person or entity
• Collect or harvest information about other users, or use the Website in any way that infringes the rights of, or restricts the use of the Website by, any other person

5. Fees and payment

The Website is provided free of charge. Access to the Platform may be provided without charge during a pilot or design-partner period and may be subject to fees afterwards. Any fees, and the terms on which they are charged, are set out in the separate written agreement with your organization before any charge is incurred.

6. Confidentiality and data

Information you submit through the Website, including through the contact form or by email, is not treated as confidential or privileged. Please do not send confidential, privileged, or time-sensitive information through the Website, and do not rely on the Website for any communication that requires a timely or secure response.

If you send us comments, ideas, or suggestions (“Feedback”), you grant Veren a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and sublicensable license to use, reproduce, and otherwise exploit the Feedback for any purpose, without restriction, attribution, or compensation to you. You represent that you have the right to provide your Feedback and that it does not violate any law or third-party right.

Our collection and use of personal information through the Website is described in our Privacy Policy. Please review it to understand our practices.

7. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

THE WEBSITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VEREN DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. VEREN DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VEREN AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE WEBSITE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VEREN’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE WEBSITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS OR LIABILITY LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Veren and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to your use of the Website, your Feedback, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

8. Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Website at any time, for any reason, without notice or liability. Upon termination, the licenses granted to you under these Terms end. Any provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including Sections 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10, will survive.

9. Governing law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Website are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any such dispute will be the state and federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. Nothing in this section limits any mandatory consumer-protection rights you may have under the laws of your place of residence.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, if the changes are material, provide additional notice as appropriate. Your continued use of the Website after an update means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Website.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Veren regarding the Website and supersede any prior agreements on that subject. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them freely. These Terms create no third-party beneficiary rights. Veren is not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control. Questions about these Terms can be sent to legal@verenlabs.com.

Veren, Inc. (“Veren,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware corporation, operates the website at verenlabs.com (the “Website”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through the Website, how we use and share it, and the choices you have.

This policy describes the Website. The Veren platform (the “Platform”) is the separate, invitation-only application that law firms, appointed fiduciaries, and families use to administer an estate. The Platform necessarily processes personal information about identified individuals — including people who have died and their heirs, beneficiaries, and creditors — much of which is sensitive. Veren processes that information as a service provider and processor on behalf of the organization that engaged it, under the separate written agreement with that organization; that agreement, together with any notice presented to you inside the Platform, governs the Platform rather than this policy. If you are a family member or other individual whose information appears in the Platform, the organization administering the estate is your first point of contact, and you may also reach us at privacy@verenlabs.com.

The Website is a general-information site. Please do not submit sensitive personal information through it. Do not send Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, government identification numbers, health information, or detailed information about an estate or a person who has passed away through our contact form or by email. The Website is not designed to receive sensitive or confidential information. This restriction concerns the public Website only — the Platform is built to receive and safeguard estate information from authorized users.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide to us. We collect the information you choose to give us when you use the contact form on the Website or email us. The contact form currently asks for your name, your firm or organization, your email address, and a short message. If you email us directly, we receive your email address and any information you include in your message. We also keep records of our correspondence with you.

Information we collect automatically. When you visit the Website, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address and the approximate (city- or region-level) location derived from it; your browser type, device type, and operating system; the pages you view, links you click, and the page that referred you; and the dates and times of your visits. Some of this is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 7).

Information from third parties. We may receive limited information from our service providers, such as hosting, form-handling, and analytics vendors, and from platforms you use to reach us, such as a professional or social network.

2. How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and follow up with you, including about partner or early-access interest
• Operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Website
• Send you updates about Veren if you have asked to hear from us (you can opt out at any time)
• Understand how visitors use the Website through analytics
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, security incidents, abuse, and other harmful or unlawful activity
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service and other agreements
• Evaluate, negotiate, or complete a corporate transaction such as a financing, merger, or acquisition

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data on the basis of your consent, our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Website and communicating with people who contact us, compliance with our legal obligations, and steps taken at your request before entering into an agreement.

3. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share information only as described below:

• Service providers. With vendors who perform services for us, such as website hosting, form handling, email delivery, product analytics, and session replay. They may use the information only to provide services to us and are contractually prohibited from using it for their own purposes.
• Professional advisors. With our lawyers, accountants, auditors, and insurers as needed.
• Legal and safety. When we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to enforce our agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Veren, our users, or others.
• Corporate transactions. In connection with a financing, merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to reasonable confidentiality protections.
• With your direction or consent. In other ways you direct or agree to.

The Website may also link to third-party websites and services that we do not operate or control. This Privacy Policy does not apply to them, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

4. Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including to respond to your inquiries, operate the Website, comply with our legal, tax, and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or de-identify it.

5. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect. However, no website or method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. As noted above, please do not send sensitive or confidential information through the Website, including detailed information about an estate or a person who has passed away.

6. Your rights and choices

Everyone. You may ask us to access, correct, update, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and you may opt out of marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by emailing privacy@verenlabs.com. We will respond as required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

California residents. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended (“CCPA”), California residents have certain rights. In the past 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information through the Website:

We disclose these categories to our service providers for the business purposes described in this policy. We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we have not done so in the past 12 months. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16. Subject to the limits in the CCPA, you have the right to know and access the personal information we have collected, to request its deletion, to request correction of inaccurate information, and not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights. To exercise your rights, email privacy@verenlabs.com. You may use an authorized agent, who must provide proof of authorization. California’s “Shine the Light” law permits California residents to request information about disclosures to third parties for their direct marketing purposes; we do not make such disclosures.

Residents of other U.S. states. If you are a resident of a U.S. state with a comprehensive privacy law (such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, or Montana), you may have rights to confirm whether we process your personal information, to access, correct, and delete it, and to obtain a portable copy. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising or for profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. To exercise your rights, email privacy@verenlabs.com. If we decline a request, you may appeal by replying to our response.

EEA and UK visitors. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to access your personal data; to have it corrected or erased; to restrict or object to its processing; to data portability; and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority. To exercise these rights, email privacy@verenlabs.com.

7. Cookies and tracking

A cookie is a small file stored on your device. We and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website, remember your preferences, and understand how the Website is used. These include strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the Website to function; analytics and performance cookies, which help us understand how visitors interact with the Website; and preference cookies, which remember choices you make.

Product analytics and session replay. We use third-party product-analytics and session-replay services (for example, FullStory) on the Website and the Platform. These services record interaction events — pages and screens viewed, clicks, taps, scrolling, cursor movement, page structure, approximate location derived from IP address, and device and browser characteristics — and reconstruct them so we can understand how the product is used, diagnose and reproduce errors, and improve it. A session replay is a reconstruction of those events, not a video recording of your device or screen, and it captures activity only within Veren’s own Website and Platform, never elsewhere on your device.

Because the Platform handles sensitive estate information, we configure these services to suppress sensitive content at capture, so that it is excluded before it leaves your browser. This is designed to cover Social Security and other government identification numbers, financial account numbers, dates of birth, uploaded documents and their contents, and free-text fields. We do not use session replay to record keystrokes in password fields. We instruct these providers to act as our service providers, to use the data only to provide services to us, and not to sell it or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Where required by law we obtain consent before enabling non-essential analytics, and you may opt out at any time by emailing privacy@verenlabs.com or by using a recognized opt-out preference signal as described in Section 7 above and Section 6.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them, though some features of the Website may not work properly as a result. Where required by law, we will request your consent before setting non-essential cookies. There is no common industry standard for “Do Not Track” signals, and the Website does not currently respond to them. Where required by applicable law, we treat recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as a valid request to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information.

8. Children’s privacy

The Website is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 years of age, and in no case from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at privacy@verenlabs.com and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

9. International transfers

Veren is based in the United States, and we operate the Website from the United States. If you access the Website from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, for international transfers.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, if the changes are material, provide additional notice as appropriate. Your continued use of the Website after an update means you accept the revised policy.
