Dispute Resolution

Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

Binding Arbitration

If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the American Arbitration Association (AAA) website. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in St Lawrence County, New York. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in St Lawrence County, New York, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Legal Terms.

In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Services be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Restrictions

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Corrections

There may be information on the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including descriptions, and various other information. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update the information on the Services at any time, without prior notice.

Disclaimer

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN AS-IS AND AS-AVAILABLE BASIS. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES AND YOUR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE SERVICES' CONTENT AND WE WILL ASSUME NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY (1) ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES OF CONTENT AND MATERIALS, (2) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES, (3) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVERS THAT HOST OUR SERVICES, (4) ANY INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF TRANSMISSION TO OR FROM THE SERVICES, (5) ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE WHICH MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH THE SERVICES BY ANY THIRD PARTY, AND/OR (6) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT AND MATERIALS OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF ANY CONTENT POSTED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE SERVICES. WE DO NOT WARRANT OR ENDORSE ANY THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISEMENT OF ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE VIA OUR SERVICES.

The information provided by VEC Group Global ("VEC Group", "we", "us", or "our") on vampiric-embrace.com (the "Site") is for general informational purposes only. All information on the Site is provided in good faith; however, we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, availability, or completeness of any information on the Site. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL WE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF THE SITE OR RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE SITE. YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND YOUR RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION ON THE SITE IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

With respect to any information and/or experiences that originated via our services; if a person participates in any after-the-fact dissemination, then that person is assuming all liability and responsibility for and of the information and/or experiences that they are disseminating. This may include, but is not limited to, the inability of that person to legally protect information as a result of having disseminated it; or, the inappropriate use of the information and/or experiences that were disseminated to any party, or by any party further after-the-fact, of whom the party was not the original party privy to the information and/or experiences via our services directly. Although all access to information and experiences are moderated by us appropriately, and we are providing the original access, we are not the after-the-fact disseminators or publishers of the information and experiences that we provide persons with access to, and all persons that access service with us agree to not hold us responsible and/or liable for their own conscious choice to disseminate any information and/or experiences after-the-fact.

We shall never knowingly or unknowingly, actively or inactively, or directly or indirectly attempt to compromise the security, sanctity, or integrity of any person and/or party. If the security, sanctity, or integrity of a person or party is compromised in any way, whatsoever, as a result of that person or party engaging in our services, either directly or indirectly, or as a result of that person or party engaging in our "Services" (as defined in our Terms of Use), then that person or party is in agreement that we did not knowingly or unknowingly, actively or inactively, or directly or indirectly contribute to or participate in, in any way, shape, form, or capacity, whatsoever, in any action or inaction that may be associated with, or that may have lead to, that person or party having been compromised in any way, shape, or form. As such, in accessing service with us, including this website, if the security, sanctity, or integrity of a person or party is compromised in any way, whatsoever, that person or party is agreeing to release us from any and all liabilities and/or responsibilities, with respect to that person or party having been compromised in any way.

Our limited licenses are usable methods that we provide an appropriate person or party with the revocable privilege of access to use; and we are in no way, shape, or form, providing a person or party with the privilege or right of ownership of, to, or over our limited licenses, our systems and methods, our interfaces and protocols, or any other aspect of our services, stated or otherwise, that are in support of our limited licenses; as all limited licenses are always our Intellectual Property (IP), as so too are our systems, methods, interfaces, protocols, and any other aspect of our services, stated or otherwise, that are in support of our limited licenses, now and in perpetuity. The same is true with respect to our usable examples, and other usable methods that are not classified by us specifically as limited licenses. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the information and experiences that are accessible by and through our usables (usable examples, usable methods, and limited licenses - free or otherwise, collectively, our “usables”), is provided as a right of privilege - including all access to our usables; and as a privilege of access to our usables, which includes the ability to access any information and/or experiences as a privilege, all rights are revocable, and not guaranteed. Wherein the use of any of our usables is concerned, our limitations of service (governed ultimately by the Consultant and the Inherent Internal Coding Protection System) will rightfully prevent any person or party, in any capacity (be it independently, on behalf of an entity, at the direction of another person or party, etc.), from having access to any of our usables to any effect at all, other than the purposes of our usables as designed, provided, and intended by us - which does include denying any person or party with no access, or only limited access, and deemed appropriate and acceptable by us. This includes us reserving the right to revoke the right of privilege for any person or party to access any and/or all of our usables with respect to our limitations of service, regardless of whether or not the right of privilege to access the usable is inherently provided by us for free, or requires a payment.

Although our usable examples, usable methods, and limited licenses (collectively, our "usables") are our Intellectual Property (IP), we are unable to prevent any person or party from attempting to create their own illegitimate versions of our usables, or falsely claiming that they have their own "usables"; however, we are able to ensure that in no event, whatsoever, will any third-party "usables" not created by us work, regardless of whether or not the third-party is publicly or privately deemed as “legitimate”; and that in no event, whatsoever, will any third-party “usable” ever interface with or use our own Intellectual Property (IP). We do not take kindly to any person or party attempting to exploit any other person or party, which inherently includes any person or party attempting to exploit us, or any other person or party, by falsely and wrongfully acting as an agent, representative, or affiliate of ours; nor do we take kindly to any person or party that is attempting to interject themselves as a false gatekeeper to service with us. We shall not be held liable and/or responsible, whatsoever, for any actions of, or consequences that result from, a person or party acting as a false agent, representative, or affiliate of us; which includes any consequences that said person or party as a "bad actor" may suffer as a result of their complicit misconduct in that regard. We shall not be held liable and/or responsible, whatsoever, for any actions of, or consequences that result from, a person or party attempting to create and employ their own "usables"; which includes any consequences that said person or party may suffer as a result, or any consequences that may be suffered by any other person or party as a result.

At no time, whatsoever, is a minor (as defined by us) or any vulnerable person (as deemed so by us, without definition), directly, or via an intermediary, permitted by us to access any information or experiences that originate via our services that were, may be, or are, intended to service an entity or adult as the primary benefactor (to and for the sole-benefit of an entity or adult, even if that entity does not yet exist), if we are able to determine that the minor or vulnerable person will be exploited as a result. This includes any attempt(s) before or after-the-fact, by any party, whatsoever, to seed intentions, manipulate, harm, or otherwise blatantly exploit any person that is or was a minor (or is or was a vulnerable person), with respect to any information and/or experiences that they may be privy to as a result of our services generally; which does include any information and/or experiences that they have been privy to as a result of themselves having participated in any form of after-the-fact dissemination with another person. This is non-negotiable, and there are no work-arounds whatsoever. We will prevent any minor or vulnerable person from receiving access to any information and/or experiences in-order to prevent their exploitation, and we will inform them directly via their access to service with us, of their current situation regarding their own exploitation by another persons or parties, and will inform them to have the other persons or parties to directly access service with us themselves, via their own self-bond (self-link), so as to ensure that they are fully aware of the harm and consequences that they are in-fact attempting to impose. Although the same is true with respect to any person, regardless of their age or status with us as a person that is vulnerable, we are particularly mindful of minors and vulnerable persons, and do not permit their exploitation in any way, shape, or form.

Limitations of Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFIT, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE LESSER OF THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO US OR $100.00 USD. CERTAIN US STATE LAWS AND INTERNATIONAL LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, and any applicable attorneys on behalf of, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, made by any third party due to or arising out of: (1) use of the Services; (2) breach of these Legal Terms; (3) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Legal Terms; (4) your violation of the rights of a third party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights; or (5) any overt harmful act toward any other user of the Services with whom you connected via the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate, at your expense, with our defense of such claims. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceedings which is subject to this indemnification upon becoming aware of it.

Visiting the Services, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically; via email and on the Services, satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing. YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, CONTRACTS, ORDERS, AND OTHER RECORDS, AND TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES, POLICIES, AND RECORDS OF TRANSACTIONS INITIATED OR COMPLETED BY US OR VIA THE SERVICES. You hereby waive any rights or requirements under any statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances, or other laws in any jurisdiction which require an original signature or delivery or retention or non-electronic records, or to payments or the granting of credits by any means other than electronic means.

We may make available through the Services forms, checklists, business documents and legal documents (collectively, “Documents”). All Documents are provided on a non-exclusive license basis. Documents are provided without any representations or warranties, express or implied, as to their suitability, legal effect, completeness, accuracy, and/or appropriateness.

Miscellaneous

These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Legal Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Legal Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If any provision or part of a provision of these Legal Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severed from these Legal Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Legal Terms or use of the Services. You agree that these Legal Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them. You hereby waive any and all defenses you have based on the electronic form of these Legal Terms and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute these Legal Terms.

Assignments

This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by the VEC Group without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.
