1. ACCEPTANCE OF VIEWLIFT’S TERMS OF USE
Updated: 02/27/2024
Welcome to ViewLift, Inc. (“ViewLift,” “we,” or “us”). This Terms of Use agreement (“Terms of Use”) describes the terms on which users (“you”) are authorized to use our website, ViewLift.com, including any mobile versions thereof, and the information and content thereon (collectively, the “Services”). This document is a legal contract and, by using the Services, you agree to be bound by it. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, do not use the Services.
These Terms of Use govern only your use of the Services for informational, non-commercial purposes. If you wish to purchase or access any of our solutions, then you will need to enter into a separate agreement with ViewLift. For further information or to get started as a customer, please send us a message using the “Contact Us” form on our website located at https://viewlift.com/contact/.
2. OUR CHANGES TO THE TERMS OF USE
We may change these Terms of Use at any time, so we encourage you to review the Terms of Use periodically before using the Services. To assist you in reviewing the terms, we will make the most recent version of the Terms of Use available on our website, and we will indicate at the top of the Terms of Use the most recent date when they were modified. If you continue to use the Services after we modify the Terms of Use, your use indicates your agreement to the new Terms of Use. Therefore, it is important that you read this page regularly to ensure you are familiar with the most updated Terms of Use. If you do not agree to the changes, you should not continue to use the Services.

VIEWLIFT AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE INVESTORS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AND SUPPLIERS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “VIEWLIFT PARTIES”) DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE; NOR DO THEY MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE SERVICES, OR AS TO THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY OR CONTENT OF ANY INFORMATION OR SERVICE PROVIDED BY VIEWLIFT.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Specifically, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
- (1) You understand that the Services are provided purely for your informational purposes, and you agree that we will not be responsible for any damages that you claim result, directly or indirectly, from use of the Services, for any reason, including costs incurred while using the Services, the inaccessibility of the Services, or the costs associated with any claims you bring or try to bring against us.

You agree that we will not have liability to you or to others for these changes to the Services.
- (3) You agree not to hold us liable for damages you claim are caused by third parties who contact you using the Services or become aware of your identity through the use of the Services, and you understand that, while such behavior is a violation of these Terms of Use, we need not attempt to control or identify individuals who falsify their identities or provide false information to others through the use of the Services.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE VIEWLIFT PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICES, EVEN IF VIEWLIFT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE OR COMPUTER SYSTEM, OR LOSS OF DATA RESULTING THEREFROM.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE (FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION), WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, FOR ACCESSING THE SERVICES. THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT.
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.
13. INDEMNIFICATION
YOU AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE VIEWLIFT PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, COSTS OF DEBT, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ATTORNEYS’ FEES) ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH (I) YOUR USE OF AND ACCESS TO THE SERVICES; (II) YOUR VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE; OR (III) YOUR VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAWS OR REGULATIONS.

GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be fully performed therein (without regard to its conflict of laws provisions).

ARBITRATION. For any claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) under these Terms of Use, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute through binding non- appearance-based arbitration. The party electing such arbitration will initiate the arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) provider in New York, New York mutually agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (a) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, as selected by the party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties and all such personal appearances will take place in New York, New York unless otherwise agreed to by the parties; and (c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN A PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, A COURT OR ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS.
