Terms and conditions

1. The agreement

These terms form a contract between you and LeaDe Ltd, operator of VERYFY. By creating an account you accept them. If you accept on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to bind it.

2. Accounts

You must be at least 16 and provide accurate information. One person, one account — accounts are personal and must not be shared. You are responsible for activity under your credentials. Employer seats are named individuals, not shared logins.

3. Professionals: what you publish

You own your proof of work. You grant VERYFY a licence to host and display it to the audience your visibility setting allows, and to share the specific work entry with a verifier you nominate, for as long as your account is open.

You confirm that work entries describe work you actually performed, that outcomes you state are accurate, and that you have the right to attach the proof you attach. Publishing an entry does not verify it — a published entry is shown as unverified until someone who was there confirms it.

4. Verification integrity

Verification is the core of the service, so we enforce it strictly. You must not:

• Nominate yourself, an alias, or an address you control as a verifier.
• Use a personal or free email provider for a manager confirmation, or an address whose domain does not match the organisation on the entry.
• Arrange reciprocal confirmations, whether directly or through a third party.
• Pay for, or accept payment for, a confirmation.
• Misrepresent your relationship to the work or to the verifier.

We apply automated and manual integrity checks, including domain binding, reciprocity detection and rate limits. Where a check trips, we say why. Confirmations obtained in breach of this section are void, the capability returns to unverified, and we may suspend or close the account. A disputed entry is frozen and cannot be deleted while the dispute is open.

5. Employers, recruiters and verifiers

You may use profiles, Matches, pipelines and proof of work to assess and contact professionals for genuine opportunities only. You must not scrape or bulk-export profiles, resell access to your seat, use VERYFY to build a competing dataset, or contact professionals who have not enabled contact.

When you confirm a work entry or verify a submission, you are making a factual statement that the work and its outcomes occurred as described. Verifying work is your decision and your responsibility; no agent can make it for you.

Hiring decisions are yours. VERYFY provides evidence and organisation, not a recommendation you may rely on in place of your own judgement, and not a guarantee of any candidate’s future performance.

6. Acceptable use

• No unlawful, discriminatory, harassing or deceptive use of the platform or its messaging.
• No attempt to breach security, access another account, or probe the service without written authorisation.
• No automated access outside a documented API, and no circumvention of rate limits.
• No uploading of malware, or of material you do not have the right to share — including an employer’s confidential material.

7. Plans, credits and payment

Paid plans are billed monthly or annually in advance. Annual plans are charged for the full term. Verification and review credits included with a plan reset each month and do not roll over; additional credits are charged at the rate shown on your plan. Prices exclude VAT unless stated.

You may cancel at any time and will keep access until the end of the paid period. We do not refund part-used periods except where required by law. If we change pricing we will give at least 30 days’ notice before it applies to your renewal.

8. Availability and changes

We work to keep VERYFY available but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may change or withdraw features; where a change materially reduces functionality you rely on, we will give reasonable notice. Features labelled as coming soon are not part of what you are paying for today.

9. Intellectual property

VERYFY, its interface, models and documentation remain ours. You keep everything you create — your profile, proof of work, Matches, notes and Work briefs. Nothing here transfers ownership of your content to us or of ours to you.

10. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability in any 12-month period is limited to the fees you paid in that period. Nothing excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Suspension and termination

You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account for breach of these terms — in particular section 4 — or where required by law. On closure, your data is handled as set out in the privacy policy.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. Questions about them go to legal@veryfy.com.
