This DOCUMENT is a Legally Binding Agreement between You and Cobisi Research di Efran Cobisi (also referred as
Cobisi Research or, simply, Cobisi). If you are acting as an agent of a company or another legal person,
such as an officer or other employee acting for your employer, then "you" and "your" mean your principal, the entity
or other legal person for whom you are acting. However, importantly, even if you are acting as an agent for another,
you may still be personally liable for violation of federal and State laws, such as copyright infringement.
By signifying your acceptance of the terms of this DOCUMENT, you intend to be, and hereby are, legally bound
to this DOCUMENT to the same extent as if Cobisi and you physically signed this DOCUMENT. By using the SERVICE, you
agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this DOCUMENT. If you do not agree to all of such terms and
conditions, you may not use the SERVICE.
The rights granted under this DOCUMENT are only
effective upon payment of usage fees: the SERVICE is licensed, not sold.
GENERAL TERMS
This SERVICE is for your individual use, solely for internal use by you for your business, or for your own personal use. You may not resell any information obtained from the SERVICE without the prior written consent from Cobisi. You are prohibited from acting as a service bureau for the SERVICE or any component thereof.
As a condition of your permitted use of the SERVICE, you will not use the SERVICE for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by this agreement. You may not use the SERVICE in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the SERVICE (or the network(s) connected to Verifalia) or interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of the SERVICE. You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the SERVICE, other accounts, computer systems or networks connected to the SERVICE, through hacking, password mining or any other means. You may not obtain or attempt to obtain any materials or information through any means not intentionally made available through the SERVICE by Verifalia.
The information, content and services included in or available through the SERVICE may include inaccuracies or typographical errors. Changes are periodically made to the SERVICE and to the information therein. Cobisi and/or its respective suppliers may make improvements and/or changes in the SERVICE at any time, without notice. THE USER ASSUMES ALL RISK OF USE. Cobisi and/or its respective suppliers make no representations about the suitability, reliability, availability, timeliness, lack of viruses or other harmful components and accuracy of the information, content, and services contained within the SERVICE for any purpose. All such information, content, and services are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. Cobisi and/or its respective suppliers hereby disclaim all warranties and conditions with regard to this information, content, and services, including all implied warranties and conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, workmanlike effort, title and non-infringement.
You specifically agree that Cobisi shall not be responsible for unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data, any material or data sent or received or not sent or received, or any transactions entered into through the SERVICE. You specifically agree that Cobisi is not responsible or liable for any threatening, defamatory, obscene, offensive or illegal content or conduct of any other party or any infringement of another's rights, including intellectual property rights.

Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you.
If, notwithstanding the above, Cobisi and/or its suppliers are held to be liable the amount of such liability shall not exceed USD 1.
You may not use Cobisi's name, logo, or trademarks to market your own service or product without the express written consent of Cobisi.
REASONABLE USE POLICY
In order to ensure the best quality of the SERVICE, Cobisi may curtail unreasonable usage of accounts and sub-accounts for all clients; if a client appears to be unable to maintain a reasonable use of the SERVICE, Cobisi may cancel, suspend, or decline to renew subscriptions for that client without notice. It is within Cobisi' sole discretion to determine what comprises unreasonable use.
Both accounts and sub-accounts in the SERVICE are for individual use only. Any non-individual use, or any use that is indistinguishable from non-individual use, is prohibited. For example, the following uses are prohibited:
- sharing credentials between people or applications;
- simultaneous logins from multiple IP addresses;
- connecting from a proxy of any kind.
SECURITY AND DATA RETENTION POLICY
Once the SERVICE finishes validating a batch of email addresses, the customer who submitted the data can download a detailed validation report in multiple formats, as described on the Verifalia website. Each customer can download multiple times his validation reports and, for security purposes, may even discard both all of the validation report data and the initial email addresses batch from the SERVICE database at his will. In addition to that, the SERVICE automatically deletes the aforementioned records after the completion of each email validation batch according to the data retention preferences of the client (minimum 5 minutes, maximum 30 days, with a default of 30 days).
We do not sell, lend or market email addresses and use high security precautions to minimize the risk of having email addresses stolen from our databases, including the following best practices:
- periodically check and upgrade both the operating system and the core system services;
- monitor the SERVICE log to track possible malicious users;
- both hash and salt clients passwords;
- offer encrypted, HTTPS/SSL connections to our clients;
- automatically delete uploaded lists of email addresses after 30 days since their completion.
PRICING
Where a price for a product or service has been stated it should be assumed to represent units of United States Dollars (USD). Any exceptions to this rule will be specifically identified. The use of the Dollar sign ($) should likewise be taken to specify USD also.
Prices listed on the Verifalia website are subject to change without prior notification. Orders will be charged at prices in effect on the transaction day.
REFUND POLICY
All services rendered by Cobisi are provided on a non-refundable basis: this includes, but is not limited to, setup fees, recurring subscription fees, upgrade fees, and credit pack fees, regardless of usage. You agree not to charge back any credit card payments for services rendered. In the event that a customer files a charge back or other payment dispute, they will be considered to be in violation of this agreement and may be subject to collection action.
