Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these Terms

Vrrdict is a risk-intelligence and decision-support service operated by Cretum Inc., a Mini Parakeet, LLC company (“Cretum,” “we,” “us”). By accessing or using the Vrrdict website at vrrdict.com, the Vrrdict app, or the Vrrdict API (together, the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in the jurisdiction where you reside, to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this eligibility requirement. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

3. The Service

Vrrdict is decision-support software. It ingests risk signals, evaluates the Rules you configure, and emits a Verdict over the action options you have chosen for an Event. A Verdict reflects the Rules you set. Vrrdict does not decide for you and is not a safety, weather, legal, or financial authority.

Verdict pages may be shared publicly at a URL of your choosing. A shared Verdict page shows city-level location and the Verdict with a rule-free signal summary; your precise location, identity, and underlying Rules are not exposed unless you opt in via your sharing settings.

4. Not professional advice; your responsibility

The Service is not safety advice, weather advice, legal advice, or financial advice. Nothing in the Service constitutes a professional recommendation, and no communication from Cretum creates a professional relationship of any kind.

Verdicts rely on third-party data sources — including weather services, air-quality APIs, and geocoding providers — that may be inaccurate, delayed, incomplete, or temporarily unavailable. You remain solely responsible for your decisions and for all consequences, direct or indirect, that flow from acting on or disregarding a Verdict.

5. Assumption of risk

You understand and acknowledge that outdoor events, gatherings, and activities carry inherent and unavoidable risks, including risks arising from weather conditions, air quality, and other environmental factors. You voluntarily assume all risks associated with relying on the Service for Event decisions. Cretum is not responsible for any harm, loss, injury, or damage that arises from or is contributed to by a Verdict, whether the Verdict was accurate or not.

6. Your account

To use most features of the Service, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your account and to keep that information up to date. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at legal@vrrdict.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from unauthorized use of your credentials.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in any manner inconsistent with these Terms. Specifically, you agree not to:

• Create Events with names or content that are illegal, abusive, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or that infringe the intellectual property rights of any person (Event names appear on public Verdict pages);
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, its systems, or other users’ accounts;
• Misuse, abuse, or overload the API, including by circumventing rate limits or sending automated requests beyond normal use;
• Distribute, resell, or sublicense the Service without our written consent; or
• Use the Service to transmit malware, spam, or other harmful content.

We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section, in our sole discretion and without prior notice. To report abuse, contact us at abuse@vrrdict.com.

8. Your content and public verdict pages

You retain ownership of the content you create using the Service, including Event names, Rules, and any descriptions you provide. By creating content through the Service, you grant Cretum a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, transmit, reproduce, and distribute that content solely to the extent necessary to operate the Service and to render shared Verdict pages to third parties you authorize.

You are responsible for the content you publish through the Service. Public Verdict pages display your chosen Event name and a city-level location. Your precise address and identity are never shown on public pages unless you expressly opt in via your sharing settings.

9. License and data rights

Cretum Inc. may use de-identified, aggregated data derived from your use of Vrrdict to improve the product, train models, and build derivative datasets and indices. We never sell or license raw, user-level rows; we license only de-identified benchmarks, calibration, and indices.

Your personal information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

10. Intellectual property

Cretum owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all software, designs, text, graphics, logos, and other content created by Cretum. These Terms do not grant you any rights in Cretum’s intellectual property except the limited right to use the Service as permitted herein.

If you submit feedback, ideas, or suggestions about the Service (“Feedback”), you grant Cretum a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that Feedback for any purpose without restriction or compensation to you.

11. Third-party data and services

The Service incorporates weather data, air-quality data, geocoding results, and other signals from third-party providers (including the National Weather Service, AirNow/EPA, and Mapbox). This third-party data is provided “as is” and Cretum makes no representations or warranties regarding its accuracy, timeliness, completeness, or availability. Cretum is not responsible for errors or interruptions in third-party data.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. Those links are provided for convenience only; Cretum does not endorse and is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of any third-party site.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CRETUM INC. DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. CRETUM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CRETUM INC. AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, PERSONAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF CRETUM HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL CRETUM’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO CRETUM FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) US$100. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Cretum Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your use of the Service, (b) your content, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.

15. Term and termination

These Terms are effective when you first access the Service and remain in effect until terminated. You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your account at any time by contacting us at legal@vrrdict.com. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law, or for any other reason at our discretion.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17, and 18 survive any termination of these Terms.

16. Changes to the Service or these Terms

We may modify the Service or update these Terms at any time. When we make material changes to these Terms, we will notify you by email or by posting a prominent notice within the Service at least 14 days before the changes take effect, where practicable. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision. Your continued use of the Service after an update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.

17. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to the arbitration agreement in Section 18, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Oklahoma for any dispute not subject to arbitration.

18. Dispute resolution; arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court.

Informal resolution. Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at legal@vrrdict.com and give us 30 days to attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

Binding arbitration. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, you and Cretum agree that any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

30-day opt-out. If you are a new user, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing legal@vrrdict.com with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” and your account email address. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

Small claims. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court in Oklahoma if the claim qualifies, instead of proceeding through arbitration.

CLASS-ACTION WAIVER: YOU AND CRETUM AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS CLASS-ACTION WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT; IF IT IS FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, THE ENTIRE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN THIS SECTION SHALL BE NULL AND VOID.

JURY TRIAL WAIVER: TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND CRETUM EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS. THIS WAIVER APPLIES WHETHER THE CLAIM IS BROUGHT IN ARBITRATION OR IN ANY COURT PROCEEDING PERMITTED BY THESE TERMS.

19. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Cretum with respect to the Service and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

No assignment. You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Cretum may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force majeure. Cretum will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, internet or infrastructure outages, or governmental actions.

Notices. We may provide notices to you via email to the address associated with your account, by posting within the Service, or by other reasonable means. Notices to Cretum must be sent to legal@vrrdict.com or to our registered agent as required by applicable law. Electronic notices are effective when sent; posted notices are effective when posted.

20. Mobile messaging (SMS)

Vrrdict offers optional SMS text alerts. You opt in from your account settings by choosing an SMS channel, entering your mobile number, and confirming a one-time verification code we text to that number — a two-step (double) opt-in. By completing it, you agree to receive automated, transactional verdict-change alerts for the events you create. We send SMS only to numbers that have completed this opt-in, and we do not send marketing or promotional text messages.

Message frequency varies and depends on how often your events’ verdicts change. Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile carrier and plan. You may unsubscribe at any time by replying STOP to any message, or reply HELP for help; you can also turn SMS off in your account settings. Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. We never share or sell your mobile opt-in information or phone number to third parties for their own marketing. For full details, see our SMS Messaging Program page.
