All such Visible Rules and Policies are incorporated by reference into these Terms of Use (the “Terms”).
THESE TERMS SET FORTH THE LEGALLY BINDING TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE. EACH TIME YOU ACCESS OR USE THE WEBSITE, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THESE TERMS IN CURRENT FORM (ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT), AND YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY, AND CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO THESE TERMS (ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT).

Use of the Services
For the avoidance of doubt, your access to the Services and the user platform (the “Platform”) for managing your Visible Account (defined in the “Account Creation” subsection below) is contingent on your maintenance of a Visible Account.
By registering for a Visible Account or using any of the Services, you agree that you have read, understood and accepted all of the terms and conditions contained in these Terms, including all Visible Rules and Policies, and you acknowledge and agree that you will be bound by these agreements and policies.
To the extent that there is a conflict between these Terms and any applicable additional terms contained in any of the other Visible Rules and Policies, these Terms will control unless expressly stated otherwise. If you don't agree with these Terms, you may not use the Services and should not visit the Website or otherwise engage with the Services.
Account Creation
In order to use certain features of the Website, including the Platform, you must register for an account (a “Visible Account”) and provide certain information about yourself as prompted by the account registration form. You represent and warrant that: (a) all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; and (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information.
In registering to use a Visible Account, the Website, and any Services on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that (i) such legal entity is duly organized and validly existing under the applicable laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; (ii) you are duly authorized by such legal entity to act on its behalf, and (iii) such organization (and any affiliate entity) must not have been previously suspended or removed from the Services or any other service or product offered by Visible or its affiliate entities. Use of certain Services may have further eligibility requirements that will need to be verified prior to you using such Services or from time to time in order to continue your use of the Services and may be subject to additional terms and conditions.
By accessing or using the Visible Account and Services, you further represent and warrant that:
a) you are at least 18 years old and are not a Restricted Person, nor are you resident of a Restricted Territory (each as defined in Section 2 below).
b) you will not be using the Visible Account and Services for any illegal activity, including illegal gambling, money laundering, fraud, blackmail, extortion, ransoming data, terrorism financing, other violent activities or any prohibited market practices, including those listed in Section 2 below.
Use of certain Services may have further eligibility requirements, including certain identity verification processes listed below, that will need to be verified prior to you using such Services or from time to time in order to continue your use of the Services and may be subject to additional terms and conditions.
You also understand that there are additional representations and warranties made by you elsewhere in (or by reference in) these Terms and/or the Visible Rules and Policies and that any misrepresentation by you is a violation of these Terms.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Visible may determine not to make the Services, in whole or in part, available in every market, either in its sole discretion or due to legal or regulatory requirements. We may also, without liability to you or any third party, refuse to let you register for a Visible Account in Visible's sole discretion. We may suspend or terminate your Account in accordance with Section 7. We do not guarantee the quality or accessibility of the Services.
You may delete your Account at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions on the Website.
Registration Process; Identity Verification
You also agree to provide us and/or any service that we may direct you to, when registering a Visible Account and on an ongoing basis, any additional information we request for the purposes of identity verification and the detection of money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other financial crime. In certain circumstances, we may require you to submit additional information about yourself or your business, provide records, and complete other verification steps. You permit us to keep a record of such information and authorize us to make the inquiries, whether directly or through third parties, that we consider necessary or desirable to verify your identity or protect you, others, and/or us against fraud or other financial crime, and to take action we reasonably deem necessary based on the results of such inquiries. When we carry out these inquiries, you understand, acknowledge and agree that your personal information may be disclosed to credit reference and fraud prevention or financial crime agencies and that these agencies may respond to our inquiries in full.
From time to time we may be required to request further information or review or update existing information regarding your account or your transactions to comply with applicable laws and regulation, and in some cases, payment network or ACH rules. Failure to provide such information, if requested by Visible, in a timely fashion may result in the suspension of your ability to use the Services (until you provide such information) or the closure of your Visible Account.
You represent and warrant that all information provided to us is true, accurate and not misleading in any respect. If any such information changes, it is your obligation to update such information as soon as possible.
We reserve the right to maintain your account registration information after you terminate your Visible Account for business and regulatory compliance purposes, subject to applicable laws and regulation.
In order to use the payment functionality of Visible’s application, you must open a "Dwolla Account" provided by Dwolla, Inc. and you must accept the Dwolla Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Any funds held in or transferred through your Dwolla Account are held or transferred by Dwolla's financial institution partners. You must be at least 18 years old to create a Dwolla Account. You authorize us to collect and share with Dwolla your personal information including full name, date of birth, social security number, physical address, email address and financial information, and you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that data.

We will provide customer support for your Dwolla Account activity, and can be reached at support@visible.xyz.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION 5 CAREFULLY: IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
Agreement to Attempt to Resolve Disputes Through Good Faith Negotiations
Prior to commencing any legal proceeding against us of any kind, including an arbitration as set forth below, you and we agree that we will attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy between us arising out of or relating to the agreement or the Services (each, a “Dispute” and, collectively, “Disputes”) by engaging in good faith negotiations. Such good faith negotiations require, at a minimum, that the aggrieved party provide a written notice to the other party specifying the nature and details of the Dispute. The party receiving such notice shall have thirty (30) days to respond to the notice. Within sixty (60) days after the aggrieved party sent the initial notice, the parties shall meet and confer in good faith by videoconference, or by telephone, to try to resolve the Dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within ninety (90) days after the aggrieved party sent the initial notice, the parties may agree to mediate their Dispute, or either party may submit the Dispute to arbitration as set forth below.
Agreement to Arbitrate
You and we agree that any Dispute that cannot be resolved through the procedures set forth above will be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Rules (as defined below).

The arbitrator's award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” subsection of this Section 5 as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The prevailing party will be entitled to an award of their reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. FURTHER, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Confidentiality
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce the provisions of this Section 5, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
Severability
