Terms Of Service
Versaic, Inc. (“Versaic”) provides access to its services (the “Services”) subject to the following user terms and conditions (this “Agreement”), which constitute a legal contract between You (as either an individual or a legal entity) and Versaic. By completing the registration procedures and clicking on the “I ACCEPT” button, or otherwise accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. The terms “User” or “Client” refer to the individual or a legal entity, as applicable, that registers for or uses the Services. The term “Client” specifically refers to the individual or legal entity who has subscribed to the Services in order to receive proposals, requests and other information. The term “Party” refers to either you and any User, or any Client, or Versaic, and “Parties” refers collectively to you, any User or Client, and Versaic.
If you are executing this Agreement on behalf of a corporation or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such corporation or entity to the terms contained herein. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO USE THE SERVICES AND YOU ARE REQUIRED TO CLICK ON THE “I DO NOT ACCEPT” BUTTON, EXIT THE PROGRAM, AND NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICES.
1. Changes to User Terms and Conditions
Versaic reserves the right from time to time in its sole discretion to establish or modify the terms and conditions governing your use of the Services by posting such changes on its web site accessible by you or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
2. Fees and Services
2.1 Generally. Registering and submitting proposals, requests, etc. at Versaic is free of charge.
2.2 Duration Of Service. Your account will remain active a minimum of 365 days from the date of your last submission, request, etc. unless otherwise specified in a Client’s User Agreement. If your account remains inactive for 365 days, you will receive a notice a minimum of thirty (30) days prior to account termination, at which time you will be given the option to either renew your account information and submissions or have your registration information and submissions deleted from the Versaic database.
3. Versaic is Only a Venue
3.1 Overview. Our site acts as the venue for Users to submit information related to requests and proposals and/or report requested information , and for Clients to manage such information. We are not involved in the actual transaction between Clients and Users. As a result, we have no control over the content of the data provided by Users or Clients, the truth or accuracy of the information provided by Users or Clients. We cannot ensure that a Client and User will actually complete a transaction.
3.2 Release. As we are not involved in the actual transaction between Clients and Users, in the event that You have a dispute with one or more Users or Clients, You release Versaic (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. 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.”

4.1 Generally. You are solely responsible for (i) any and all activities that occur under Your account (ii) the safe keeping and use of Your account password; and (iii) properly exiting and logging off from Your account.
