Terms of Service

Effective Date: July 7, 2025

By using the website at Vody.com (the “Site”), any Vody Application Program Interfaces and related materials (“APIs”), the Vody Software as a Service platform (“SaaS”), any Vody applications (“Apps”), any data obtained from the APIs (“Data”), or any other services provided by Vody Inc. (the Site, APIs, Apps, Data, and all other Vody services, collectively, the “Services”), you agree to these Terms of Service.

If you are under 18 years of age, you may not use the Services. Vody may modify these Terms of Service at any time, and you agree to be bound by such modifications if you continue to use the Services. We will notify you by making the revised version available on this page, and an updated revision date will indicate that changes have been made. If you have entered into a negotiated agreement that has been signed by Vody that governs your use of the Services that by its terms supersedes these Terms of Service, your use of the Services included in that agreement is governed by such agreement.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

1. Additional Terms

When using the Services, you are subject to any additional policies, guidelines, or rules applicable to specific services and features which may be posted from time to time (collectively, the “Additional Terms”). You can find Additional Terms that apply to your use of our APIs, Data, and Apps in client specific terms. 

2. The Sites

All of the information and data made available via the Sites (“Site Data”) is provided solely to enable you to learn about Vody and the Services. You are not licensed to store, copy, or use any Site Data for any other purpose. Without limiting the foregoing, any storage, copying, or use of Site Data in or in connection with any product or service is a material breach of these Terms of Service.

3. Prohibitions

You may not do any of the following:

  • Sell, resell, redistribute, or sublicense the Services or otherwise charge third parties for access to the Services;
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, or adapt the Services, merge any Vody software into another program, or create derivative works of the Services;
  • Pass through any Input Signal (defined above) that:
    • Is illegal, defamatory, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, obscene, or offensive;
    • Is not relevant, accurate, or representative of your knowledge of a place;
    • Contains software viruses or other code designed to disrupt our systems or the systems of any third parties; or
    • Violates any third-party rights or agreement.
  • Take any action that interferes or may interfere with any Service, including but not limited to:
    • Deleting any copyright or proprietary notices;
    • Creating user accounts by automated means;
    • Impersonating any person or entity; or
    • Using the Services for any illegal purpose.

4. Privacy Policy

When you use the Services, you and we are subject to Vody’s Privacy Policy at https://vody.com/pages/privacy-policy.

5. Service Modifications and Availability; Fees

Vody reserves the right to modify the website at any time. We may also schedule system downtime and unplanned system outages may occur.

Vody reserves the right to charge and increase fees for any or all of the Services. The fees will be disclosed to you before the fees take effect. If you do not agree to such charges, simply discontinue your use of the Services. If you continue using the relevant Services after the fees take effect, you have agreed to the fees.

6. Limitations of Liability

In no event shall the Vody Stakeholders be liable to you or any third party for any lost profit or any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages arising from or related to the Services or your use of the Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Vody Stakeholders’ liability to you for any damages arising from or related to the Services or your use of the Services (for any cause whatsoever and regardless of the form of the action), will at all times be limited to the amounts you have paid to Vody for the Services, if any. This limitation of liability inures to the benefit of any successor to the Vody Stakeholders and, in each case, liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you and you may also have other legal rights that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

7. Indemnity

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Vody Stakeholders from and against claims, demands, actions, costs, liabilities, losses, and damages of any kind (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to your use of the Services, your violation of any applicable laws or regulations, and your breach of any of these Terms of Service.

8. Copyright Complaints

If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide Vody’s copyright agent the following information required by the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the DMCA, 17 U.S.C. §512 (“DMCA”). Please be advised that to be effective, the notice must include ALL of the following: (i) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (ii) identification of the copyright work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site; (iii) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material; (iv) information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party; (v) a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or as a matter of law; and (vi) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Notices of claimed copyright infringement and counter-notices should be delivered via email to contact@vody.com. 

9. Waiver

Vody’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms of Service will be effective only if made explicitly, in writing, and signed by Vody.

10. Relationship of Parties

These Terms of Service do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer, or franchiser-franchisee relationship. These Terms of Service are solely between you and Vody and are not for the benefit of any third party.

11. Governing Law & Jurisdiction; Arbitration

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the State of California. You are responsible for complying with all applicable local laws, both within and outside the United States, including laws that would require you not to use the Services. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising under or related to these Terms of Service will be resolved by binding arbitration (and the parties hereby consent to personal jurisdiction) in Los Angeles, California, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect and, in the case of injunctive or provisional relief, the Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection. The arbitration will be decided by a single arbitrator whose decision will be final and binding and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party is entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. The arbitration will be kept confidential except as required by law. Any claims arising under or related to these Terms of Service must be brought in the initiating party’s individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class action or other similar proceeding.

12. Entire agreement

The Terms of Service constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between you and Vody relating to the subject matter herein and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations, and warranties, both written and oral. These Terms cannot be modified except in a writing signed by both parties, or by a change made by Vody as set forth above. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent under law.
