LEGAL
Terms of Service
The terms that govern your use of this website and our services, including the terms of our text messaging program.
1. Agreement to these terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Vident LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company ("Vident", "we", "us"), governing your use of www.videntconsulting.com and any services we provide through it.
By using this website, contacting us, or opting in to our text messaging program, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site or the messaging program.
Vident Technologies and Vident Consulting are service lines of Vident LLC, not separate legal entities. These Terms apply to both.
2. What we provide
Vident builds an AI-native operating platform for ETF trading and asset management, and provides technology and AI consulting services. We also operate business communications services, including telephone and text messaging, used for legitimate operational communications with the businesses we work with.
The platform is in active development with early design partners. Nothing on this site is a commitment that any particular feature is available, complete, or generally released.
3. Not investment advice
Vident is a software and technology provider. We are not an investment adviser, broker-dealer, or fiduciary, and we do not provide investment, legal, tax or accounting advice. Nothing on this website or in any communication from us constitutes a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security, or advice about the suitability of any investment.
Our software presents calculated values and workflow outputs for use by qualified professionals. You remain responsible for any decision you make and for compliance with the laws and regulations that apply to your business.
4. Text messaging (SMS) terms
These terms apply to our text messaging program. Our Privacy Policy contains the associated notice describing what we collect and how we use it.
Program description
Vident sends text messages for the following purposes only: sending you a link back to our website when you ask us to; responding to a request or question you have made to us; and operational communications with existing clients and design partners. We do not send marketing or promotional broadcasts, and we do not message people who have not opted in.
How to opt in
You opt in by completing the form at videntconsulting.com/sms and ticking the consent box. The box is never pre-checked and it is optional — the form can be submitted without it, and doing so does not enrol you. Consent is never a condition of purchasing or receiving any product or service from us, and is never required in order to contact us.
Message frequency
Message frequency varies. We send messages only in connection with the requests and relationships described above, so volume is typically low.
Cost
Message and data rates may apply. We do not charge you for messages, but your mobile carrier's standard messaging and data rates apply to messages you send and receive.
How to opt out
Reply STOP to any message to stop receiving messages from us. You will receive a single confirmation and no further messages unless you opt in again. You may also opt out by emailing don@videntconsulting.com or calling 860.205.9211.
How to get help
Reply HELP to any message, or contact us at don@videntconsulting.com or 860.205.9211.
Carriers
Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery depends on your carrier's network and is not guaranteed. Supported carriers may change without notice.
No sharing of mobile information
We do not sell, rent or share your mobile phone number or your messaging consent with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. See our Privacy Policy for the full notice.
Our acceptable use of messaging
We use messaging only for the purposes described above. We do not use these services to send unsolicited bulk messages, and we require the same of any business we work with.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use this site or our services for any unlawful purpose, or in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
- send unsolicited bulk messages, make unsolicited bulk calls, or use our services to contact people who have not consented;
- misrepresent your identity or affiliation;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of our systems or those of our service providers;
- interfere with or disrupt the operation of the site or services;
- scrape, copy or republish the site's content except as permitted in section 6.
We may suspend or terminate access to our services for conduct that violates these Terms.
6. Intellectual property
The content, design, code, and the Vident name and marks on this site are owned by Vident LLC or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may view and print pages for your own internal business evaluation. You may not otherwise reproduce, distribute, modify or create derivative works from them without our written permission.
7. Third-party links
This site links to third-party websites, including our affiliated sites. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices. Their terms and policies apply to your use of them.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
This website and our services are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any information on it is complete or current. The platform is in active development and features may change.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Vident LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of this site or our services — whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or otherwise — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms will not exceed one hundred US dollars (US$100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Vident LLC and its officers, members, employees and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the site or services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
11. Changes and termination
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above will reflect any change, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated Terms. We may modify or discontinue any part of the site or services at any time.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in New Jersey will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the site.
