4. Scope of Services

4.1. Vepapu provides a range of corporate, compliance, consulting, banking support, and ancillary business services, which may be rendered either directly by Vepapu or through its appointed partners, agents, or third-party service providers. The precise scope of services applicable to a specific engagement will depend on the nature of the package selected by the Client and the jurisdictional, legal, and operational limitations governing such services.

4.2. Certain services offered by Vepapu may only be accessed as part of a pre-defined package, or as a component of a bundled service offering curated and made available at Vepapu’s sole discretion. Vepapu reserves the exclusive right to determine the configuration of such packages, including the combination of essential and supplementary services deemed suitable for a generic business structure. These pre-built packages are intended to support standard use cases and do not constitute legal, financial, or business advice tailored to the Client’s specific objectives or compliance requirements. It is the Client’s sole responsibility to assess and ensure that any package selected adequately meets the specific needs of its intended business activity, regulatory obligations, and operational expectations.

4.3. In providing its services, Vepapu and its partners shall be entitled to act solely upon the instructions, advice, or representations received from the individual designated as the “Owner” of the Client’s platform profile (where such platform exists), or from the person identified as the primary or key contact of the Client as recorded in Vepapu’s internal systems. The Client expressly authorises Vepapu to rely on the accuracy and authenticity of such communications without the need for independent verification, unless otherwise instructed in writing.

4.4. To enable compliance with applicable legal requirements and to facilitate proper delivery of corporate services, the Client agrees to provide, upon request, all documents, declarations, and supporting information required by Vepapu or its partners. This includes, without limitation, information necessary for the maintenance of statutory registers and records at the Company’s registered office, compliance with filing obligations imposed by the relevant company registry, and performance of Corporate Service Provider (CSP) functions as required under applicable laws.

4.5. The Client shall retain and preserve all corporate records, documentation, and supporting evidence in the manner, form, and duration prescribed by the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated or operates. The Client also undertakes to provide, upon request and without undue delay, any information that Vepapu deems necessary concerning the Company’s directors, shareholders, beneficial owners, business activities, sources of funds, or any other information reasonably required to assess the Company’s compliance posture or to respond to queries from regulatory or government authorities.

4.6. All Clients of Vepapu are required to undergo a mandatory internal due diligence review, which shall be conducted in accordance with Vepapu’s proprietary risk-based framework. Acceptance for any service shall be conditional upon the Client’s successful clearance through this review. As part of this process, Clients are required to fully disclose the identity and role of all relevant parties associated with the entity or transaction, including but not limited to founders, directors, shareholders, investors, consultants, professionals, ultimate beneficial owners, and employees. Vepapu reserves the right to request any supporting documentation, clarification, or further information at its sole discretion and may reject or suspend services if such requests are not satisfactorily met.

4.7. With respect to incorporation services, Vepapu assists in establishing legal entities in various jurisdictions, subject to local laws and licensing requirements. This includes but is not limited to the preparation and filing of constitutional documents, coordination with registered agents, provision of registered office addresses, and compliance support during the formation stage.

4.8. Registered Agent and Registered Address services are provided either directly or through licensed agents in the relevant jurisdictions, as required by local law. Vepapu acts solely as a coordinator and does not itself act as a registered agent unless duly authorised and licensed to do so.

4.9. In relation to banking support, Vepapu facilitates the introduction to financial institutions and coordinates documentation during the account opening process. However, Vepapu does not guarantee account approval or processing time, as such decisions are entirely at the discretion of the bank. Clients remain responsible for providing accurate and complete banking documentation and for responding promptly to requests from the bank.

4.10. Where nominee director, shareholder, or officer services are provided, such appointments are made subject to strict contractual and compliance safeguards, including appropriate indemnity provisions, risk disclosures, and service limitations. All nominee arrangements must comply with the applicable laws of the relevant jurisdiction and may be terminated immediately in the event of breach or misuse.

4.11. Corporate Service Provider (CSP) services are offered in certain jurisdictions, either directly or through duly authorised partners. These services may include routine filings, maintaining statutory registers, handling event-driven updates, and facilitating communication with regulatory authorities. The Client must promptly notify Vepapu, and in any event within three (3) business days, of any changes to the Company’s core structure or status. This includes but is not limited to changes in: articles of association, name, share capital, beneficial owners, directors, authorised signatories, company secretary, auditors, financial year, business activities, registered address, register of charges, and the location of statutory registers. Upon receipt of such notification, Vepapu will determine whether such change triggers a mandatory filing or additional compliance action, for which an additional fee may be charged.

4.12. Vepapu reserves the right to decline or suspend any service if it reasonably believes that the engagement may expose the company, its partners, or its officers to legal, regulatory, or reputational risk. The scope and availability of services may vary across jurisdictions due to differing legal frameworks, professional licensing restrictions, or local compliance requirements.

12. Renewal of Services

12.1. This section governs the renewal of services that are provided by Vepapu for a limited or predefined period of time. Certain services offered by Vepapu are time-bound and require renewal at the end of their applicable service period in order to maintain uninterrupted access and continued compliance. The continuation of these services beyond their current term is contingent upon timely renewal by the Client. Failure to renew within the required timeframe may result in service interruption, legal non-compliance, deregistration, or other regulatory consequences for which Vepapu bears no responsibility.

12.2. tiate or complete a renewal process rests solely with the Client. Vepapu is not obligated to notify the Client of any approaching renewal or compliance deadline. While Vepapu may offer courtesy reminders via email or platform notifications, the Client must not rely on such reminders and is expected to take proactive steps to maintain their own compliance and timely continuation of services.

12.3. The renewal timelines, documentation requirements, and applicable fees vary significantly between jurisdictions and service types. Clients are advised to refer to the jurisdiction-specific pages available on our official website or to contact us directly for precise timelines and requirements applicable to their company or entity. The Client is also advised that delays in renewal or non-compliance with jurisdictional requirements may attract penalties or necessitate additional filings or reactivations at extra cost.

12.4. In cases where a service is bundled as part of a package, there may be services within that package that are required to be renewed independently at fixed points in time regardless of the date of original purchase. For instance, some jurisdictions require all incorporated companies to complete renewal filings or pay government fees by a specific calendar month annually. In such cases, Vepapu will follow one of two approaches depending on the package structure and commercial practicality:

12.5. Approach One: If only one or more individual services within a package become due for renewal before the end of the originally paid term, Vepapu will raise a separate invoice only for those specific services at that time. When the package is due for renewal at the end of its original term, the overall renewal price will be reduced by the amount already paid towards the mid-term renewal of the earlier services. For example, if a package purchased in August 2024 for US$1,000 includes company formation, registered agent, and statutory register maintenance, and the relevant jurisdiction mandates all company renewals in December, the Client will be invoiced US$750 in December 2024 for the company renewal. The remaining US$250 will be charged in August 2025 for the rest of the services in the package.

12.6. Approach Two: Vepapu may alternatively invoice the Client for the full package at the time when any service in the package becomes due for jurisdiction-mandated renewal. In such cases, the original service term will be realigned with the new renewal date. No pro-rated refunds or discounts will be issued for the unused portion of the original package term. Continuing with the above example, the Client will be invoiced US$1,000 in December 2024 for the full package and, from that point forward, December will become the new annual renewal date.

12.7. To safeguard against accidental lapses in compliance or missed renewal deadlines, Vepapu may provide an automatic renewal facility for certain services. This feature, when available, allows the relevant service(s) to be renewed automatically at the end of the existing term by charging the Client’s saved payment method for the new service period. Automatic renewal is typically applied for renewal periods equal to the most recent service term (e.g., monthly or annual), and charges are applied at the then-current pricing, which may differ from the original purchase price. Vepapu may offer or remove the automatic renewal feature for any service at its sole discretion, without prior notice.

12.8. If automatic renewal is introduced for a service, Clients may be required to explicitly enroll or may be automatically enrolled based on service-specific conditions. If automatic renewal is removed, Vepapu may provide a courtesy notification, but such notice is not obligatory, and Vepapu disclaims any liability arising from the Client’s failure to act upon such communication.

12.9. Where automatic renewal is active, Vepapu will attempt to collect renewal payments using the default payment method stored in the Client’s account. If a charge attempt fails, Vepapu may rely on card network services, such as recurring billing programs or account updater services, to update card details and complete the charge. However, the Client is solely responsible for maintaining valid, updated payment information and for monitoring renewal status. Vepapu is under no obligation to ensure that recurring billing updates are successful or complete.

12.10. Email reminders about upcoming renewals may be sent as a courtesy, but the Client acknowledges that such reminders are not guaranteed. Vepapu bears no responsibility for the Client’s failure to read, receive, or act upon any such notices. Lack of notice does not relieve the Client from renewal obligations.

12.11. Subscription-based services offered by Vepapu may renew monthly, annually, or as otherwise agreed, and unless the Client cancels the service in accordance with these Terms, such subscriptions will continue to renew automatically. The Client understands and agrees that:

• Their subscription will renew at the end of each billing cycle;
• The applicable service fee will be charged automatically at the beginning of the next billing cycle;
• Charges will be made against the default payment method on file;
• No separate approval or notice is required for each renewal charge.

12.12. The Client may cancel automatic renewal at any time by contacting Vepapu at hello@vepapu.com. Upon cancellation, services will remain active until the end of the current paid term, after which they will terminate. Vepapu and its partners will not provide any further assistance or services beyond this point unless a new subscription or service agreement is entered into. The Client remains responsible for updating all relevant stakeholders, registries, and regulators after termination of service.

12.13. If, for any reason, a payment related to an automatically renewing service is reversed, rejected, or not honored, the Client’s liability to Vepapu becomes immediately due and payable in full. Outstanding dues will attract late payment penalties at the rate of 2% per month until fully settled.

13. Termination or Suspension of Services

13.1. These Terms shall remain valid and enforceable for as long as you continue to access or use any of the Services provided by Vepapu. Vepapu reserves the right, at its sole discretion and without any obligation to provide reasons, to suspend, restrict, or permanently terminate your access to any or all Services, including the deletion of your Account and associated User Content. This right may be exercised with or without prior notice, depending on the circumstances, including but not limited to failure to verify your identity, any suspected breach of these Terms, or usage of the Services in a manner that is inconsistent with Vepapu’s compliance framework, policies, or applicable laws.

13.2. Termination may also result from misuse or abuse of any functionality, feature, or capability of the Services, including infringements of intellectual property rights, spamming, or engaging in activities that Vepapu, in its sole discretion, determines to be unethical, prohibited, or in direct contradiction with the purpose of its platform and offerings. Upon termination, your access to the platform and services will cease immediately, and you agree that Vepapu shall bear no liability for any resulting loss, damage, or business disruption. Furthermore, any rights granted to you under these Terms shall terminate immediately, whereas any rights granted to Vepapu—including licenses, permissions, and enforcement capabilities—shall survive such termination.

13.3. In the event that your access is terminated or suspended, Vepapu may, but is not obligated to, notify you in advance to allow you an opportunity to download your content or initiate any transfer-out procedures. However, the deletion of your data, profile, and usage history from live databases may be executed without further warning, and Vepapu shall not be responsible for any inability on your part to retrieve such data post-termination. All outstanding fees or obligations owed to Vepapu prior to termination shall remain enforceable and due in full. No refund, whether full or partial, will be issued for any fees already paid, regardless of the termination reason or timing.

13.4. Following termination, you are strictly prohibited from using or attempting to access any Vepapu service under your own name or through another entity unless explicitly authorized. You must delete the Vepapu app from any mobile device used and destroy any copies of platform-related material in your possession. You are also responsible for making any necessary statutory filings or updates with government authorities to reflect the termination of Vepapu’s role in your company’s service lifecycle, and you are obligated to do so at your own cost. Where Vepapu is required to perform these filings on your behalf due to inaction, lack of access, or compliance risk, you agree to fully reimburse all such costs and pay an administrative fee of no less than US$500 per filing.

13.5. Regardless of whether the termination is mutual or unilateral, Vepapu is under no obligation to return or refund any portion of previously paid fees. This includes service contracts paid in advance for periods during which services are no longer provided. Furthermore, in relation to services involving nominee roles or authorizations—such as nominee directors, shareholders, or authorized signatories—Vepapu reserves the right to unilaterally withdraw such appointments in advance of or concurrent with termination of service. In such cases, you agree to indemnify Vepapu for any resulting administrative or legal liabilities that may arise.

13.6. If payment obligations remain unmet for more than 7 days following a due notice or invoice, Vepapu retains the right to suspend or terminate the engagement without further liability to you. All due amounts will become payable immediately, and you acknowledge that Vepapu shall not be liable for any disruption or regulatory consequence arising from such termination.

13.7. Upon termination (whether by you or by Vepapu), you must promptly return or destroy all confidential information received from Vepapu. All unpaid dues become immediately enforceable. Vepapu may take any action necessary to mitigate future liabilities and may discontinue performance of all services in accordance with the termination notice.

13.8. Vepapu may also terminate its services at any time if it reasonably believes that you no longer meet the eligibility criteria set out in our Terms, your documents or declarations are found to be false or misleading, you are engaged in restricted business activities, or if due diligence procedures uncover any material change in your business risk profile, jurisdictional risks, or compliance standing. Vepapu may also terminate services immediately if our partners decide to discontinue their involvement in servicing your company, or if continuation of services becomes prejudicial, unlawful, or otherwise contrary to regulatory norms. In all such cases, Vepapu shall not bear any liability to you and shall not refund any paid fees.

13.9. If you wish to terminate your engagement with Vepapu, you must provide written notice by email with a minimum notice period of three months. This termination becomes valid only upon our written acknowledgment of receipt and acceptance. During this period, you must complete all required steps to transfer out your company or disengage from our services in accordance with our instructions. You must not attempt to switch to a new provider or submit transfer requests to authorities or registries without Vepapu’s written consent, and any such unauthorized transfers shall be considered void. A one-time transfer-out fee of US$1,500 becomes immediately due upon initiating a transfer-out request. This is in addition to any outstanding dues. Vepapu may decline to process any transfer-out if the Client has pending payments or unresolved obligations.

13.10. Should you seek to engage another service provider for your entity, Vepapu may, at its sole discretion, approve or deny such a request. Where approved, you must first transfer your entity out from the current partner before transferring in with the new partner. All related clauses of this Agreement shall continue to apply throughout the transfer process.

20. Refund Policy:

Vepapu provides services that are highly customized, jurisdiction-specific, and dependent on regulatory, governmental, and partner-driven frameworks. Due to the sensitive nature of our offerings and the involvement of third-party agents, authorities, and licensed professionals, our refund policy is subject to strict limitations as outlined in this section.

20.1. Refunds Before Commencement of Services

20.1.1. Vepapu, at its sole discretion, may offer a partial refund only if the actual service process has not yet commenced. This includes situations where due diligence has not been completed or where the customer voluntarily cancels before we initiate the substantive aspects of the engagement. In such cases, a minimum of 8% of the total payment received will be deducted towards payment gateway processing charges and another 25% of the total payment received will be deducted as refund/cancellation handling fees. No refund will be provided if any part of the service process has been initiated, including but not limited to internal assessments, partner coordination, compliance and/or document reviews, or government filings.

20.1.2. Refunds are permitted in the following cases, subject to the conditions listed:

• Due diligence failure prior to the start of services, including but not limited to:
• - Inability to verify the customer’s identity or business structure.
• - Submission of forged, misleading, or unverifiable documents.
• - Non-compliance with the jurisdiction’s eligibility requirements.
• - Adverse findings during background checks or risk assessments.
• Voluntary cancellation by the customer, provided that:
• - Vepapu has not made any payments to governmental authorities or its licensed partners on behalf of the customer.
• - Vepapu has not begun any coordination or documentation-related steps with the customer and/or external entities.

Vepapu will not entertain refund requests made after the above conditions are breached, even if the customer later chooses to not proceed.

20.2. Refunds After Commencement of Services

20.2.1. Once any service process has commenced—including pre-filing coordination, partner engagement, government submission, compliance checks, or document preparation—no refund shall be offered. The commencement of services is not contingent on the customer’s awareness of internal steps taken. Vepapu’s decision regarding the initiation of services shall be final and binding.

20.2.2. Additionally, no refund shall be issued in the following cases:

• Where services are purchased by a person or entity who is not eligible for such services under our eligibility terms. Vepapu reserves the right to forfeit such payments in full.
• If the client refuses to proceed with a licensed provider or partner selected by Vepapu for the jurisdiction or service ordered.
• Discontinuation of services by the customer after the service has begun, for any reason including change of mind, delays, or dissatisfaction.
• Where any delays occur due to regulatory processing, partner timelines, documentation issues, jurisdiction-specific waiting periods, or force majeure events. No refund shall be granted due to dissatisfaction arising from such delays.
• If due diligence fails after the service has started or during the course of service delivery due to updated or additional findings.
• For any annual renewal package or recurring compliance services. These are time-bound and jurisdiction-driven, and are strictly non-refundable once initiated.
• If you purchase individual services separately and later request a refund for the difference in pricing because a bundled package would have been more economical. No such refund shall be issued.

20.2.3. Vepapu does not offer refunds for price differences, including pro-rated refunds, if the price of a service is reduced after your purchase. However, you may avail the revised price in your next billing cycle, if applicable and available.

20.3. 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Where explicitly stated for specific products or jurisdictions, Vepapu may offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. This guarantee only applies where:

20.3.1. Due diligence has not commenced,

20.3.2. No partner engagements have been made, and

20.3.3. No filings or substantive actions have been performed.

Where applicable, this guarantee will be clearly marked and defined during your purchase process. The default position is that no money-back guarantee exists unless explicitly mentioned.

20.4. Cancellation Procedure

If you wish to cancel any ordered service, you must inform Vepapu through an authorized communication channel (email or dashboard ticketing system). Casual messages via informal channels shall not be considered a valid cancellation request. The cancellation becomes effective only upon acknowledgment from Vepapu, and all further actions will be evaluated based on this timeline.

20.5. Chargebacks and Fraudulent Refunds

Vepapu does not dispute legitimate chargebacks. However, if a fraudulent or improper chargeback is raised—particularly after payments have been made to government authorities, partners, or third-party vendors—Vepapu reserves the right to take strict legal and administrative action.

This includes, but is not limited to:

• Immediate cancellation of subscriptions and services;
• Dissolution of any company or legal entity formed as part of the service;
• Recovery of liquidated damages of US$500 per entity if the client fails to dissolve the company at Vepapu’s request;
• Where Vepapu cannot dissolve the company, the client agrees to do so promptly or be liable for all associated legal and administrative costs;
• If a company was fraudulently formed using a third party’s name without their authorization, Vepapu reserves the right to dissolve such entity and seek liquidated damages of US$10,000, in addition to all recovery costs including legal fees, court charges, and collection expenses.

You acknowledge and agree that initiating a chargeback in violation of this policy may result in your entity being reported, suspended, or dissolved, and you may be subject to legal proceedings as permitted by law.

21. Post-Formation Information and Maintenance:

21.1. Customer Responsibility for Ongoing Compliance

The Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that it shall bear sole and exclusive responsibility for all post-formation obligations associated with the company or entity formed through Vepapu’s services. This includes, but is not limited to, all matters relating to corporate maintenance, statutory filings, tax reporting, annual renewals, license or permit renewals, regulatory compliance, and any other documentation or reporting requirements necessary to maintain the legal good standing or regulatory compliance of the entity under applicable local, state, federal, or international laws.

21.2. Courtesy Notifications and Updates

While Vepapu may, at its sole discretion, provide reminders, alerts, or informational updates concerning post-formation maintenance obligations, such actions are offered solely as a courtesy and shall not be construed as a legal obligation or contractual commitment. These communications may be delivered via email, postal mail, SMS, or published as alerts within the Customer’s Vepapu account dashboard (if applicable), using the contact information provided by the Customer at the time of registration or thereafter.

21.3. No Liability for Missed Actions or Miscommunications

Vepapu disclaims any and all liability arising from:

• The Customer’s failure to act upon any notifications or communications sent by Vepapu or its partners;
• The Customer’s inability to receive, access, or interpret such notifications or information due to technical errors, spam filters, incorrect contact details, or any other reason;
• Vepapu’s decision to suspend or discontinue providing such updates, reminders, or information, at its sole discretion.

21.4. No Warranties on Information Provided

Vepapu makes no express or implied warranties as to the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information provided regarding post-formation obligations.

21.5. Tax Filings and Regulatory Submissions

The Company hereby irrevocably confirms, acknowledges, and undertakes that:

21.5.1. Under no circumstances shall Vepapu (including its employees, representatives, or partners) be responsible for any tax filings or payments on behalf of the Company, whether domestic or international, including but not limited to Economic Substance (ES), FATCA, CRS, or any other tax or financial disclosures, even in cases where Vepapu or its partners provide directors, officers, or nominee services to the Company.

21.5.2. All tax filings, submissions, and payments that may be required by law or regulation shall be the sole responsibility of the Company. The Company shall arrange for the preparation, submission, and payment of all such filings without any involvement, assistance, or intervention by Vepapu unless otherwise agreed in writing under a separate engagement.

By engaging with Vepapu’s Services, you represent and warrant that all information and documentation you provide is accurate, complete, and truthful, and Vepapu may rely on this information without independent verification. You further warrant that you have the legal authority to act on behalf of any entity you represent and to engage our Services. Failure to provide accurate or complete information may result in delays, penalties, or adverse outcomes, for which Vepapu disclaims all liability. Any risk arising from your failure to comply with these obligations rests solely with you.

We do not warrant the performance, accuracy, or reliability of third-party providers, content, or services accessible through the Website or as part of our Services. Any risks associated with third-party actions, inactions, or inaccuracies are solely your responsibility. Vepapu expressly disclaims liability for any errors, delays, or disruptions caused by third-party services, including but not limited to government authorities, financial institutions, and licensed agents. You accept that Vepapu’s role as an intermediary limits our control over the final outcomes of the services facilitated on your behalf.

Some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties. If such laws apply to you, some disclaimers outlined in this section may not apply, and any implied warranties will be limited to the shortest legally permissible duration. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all implied warranties are expressly disclaimed beyond this period.

You acknowledge that Vepapu provides its Website and Services with reasonable care but makes no warranty that use of the Website or Services will achieve any particular results, meet your expectations, or guarantee regulatory compliance, approval, or certification. Vepapu’s Services are informational and facilitative in nature, and any reliance on them without consulting qualified professionals is solely at your risk.

By using our Website and Services, you agree that Vepapu shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages resulting from your use of or inability to use our Website or Services.

If you are dissatisfied with any portion of the Website, its contents, or Services, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue use.

23. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Vepapu disclaims any and all liability for damages, losses, or claims arising out of or in connection with your use of our Website, Services, or any related content. This includes, but is not limited to, liability for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or special damages, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory. You acknowledge and agree that your use of our Website and Services is entirely at your own risk.

Vepapu’s Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without any warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that our Services will meet your specific requirements or expectations, nor do we warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components such as viruses or malware. Any reliance on our Services, information, or guidance is undertaken solely at your discretion and risk.

You agree that Vepapu shall not be liable for any financial, operational, or reputational losses resulting from delays, errors, or failures in the provision of Services. This includes missed compliance deadlines, penalties, or regulatory actions, such as the suspension or dissolution of your company. Vepapu disclaims liability for such consequences, as responsibility for meeting deadlines and compliance obligations rests solely with you. If you fail to provide accurate or complete information or neglect to respond to requests for documentation, you assume full responsibility for any resulting issues, including costs associated with reinstating or restoring your company’s compliance status.

Furthermore, you acknowledge that Vepapu acts as an intermediary between you and third-party service providers, including government authorities, financial institutions, and licensed corporate agents. Vepapu does not control the actions or decisions of these entities and therefore cannot be held liable for delays, rejections, or adverse outcomes caused by their actions, inactions, or procedural changes. Any additional costs or delays incurred due to third-party inefficiencies are your responsibility.

In jurisdictions where limitations of liability are not permitted, some exclusions in this section may not apply. However, to the extent allowed by law, Vepapu’s total aggregate liability for all claims related to your use of our Services shall not exceed the amount you paid directly to Vepapu for the specific Service in question during the six (6) months preceding the claim, or one hundred United States dollars (USD $100), whichever is lower. Vepapu shall not be liable for disruptions caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including force majeure events such as natural disasters, political instability, regulatory changes, technical failures, or cyberattacks. Additionally, we do not accept liability for any damages resulting from your use of third-party links, tools, or content accessed through our Website.

By using Vepapu’s Website and Services, you expressly agree to release and hold harmless Vepapu, its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from your actions, inactions, or reliance on the Services. You further agree that these limitations of liability reflect a fair allocation of risk and form an essential part of the terms governing your use of our Services. If you do not agree to these terms, your sole remedy is to discontinue use of our Website and Services.

24. INDEMNIFICATION:

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Vepapu, including our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, suppliers, and third-party service providers, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, expenses, demands, and costs, including but not limited to reasonable legal fees and court costs, arising out of or in connection with:

• Claims or disputes arising from your use of third-party services or links provided through the Website or as part of Vepapu’s facilitation of Services.

You acknowledge and agree that Vepapu relies on information and documents submitted by you to provide its Services. Any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the information you provide may result in adverse outcomes, penalties, or liabilities for which you bear sole responsibility. Vepapu will not be liable for any consequences arising from your failure to provide accurate, complete, and timely information or for any reliance on third-party services.

In the event that a third-party claim, lawsuit, or proceeding arises due to your actions or omissions, Vepapu reserves the right to assume exclusive defense and control of the matter. You agree to cooperate fully with Vepapu in the defense of such claims and to provide all necessary assistance as reasonably requested. You further agree not to settle any such claim without Vepapu’s prior written consent, which may be withheld at our sole discretion.

Vepapu’s indemnification obligations are limited to the extent that the claim arises from our willful misconduct, fraud, or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. However, under no circumstances will Vepapu indemnify or hold harmless for actions or decisions taken by third-party service providers, government authorities, or other entities beyond our control.

This indemnification provision is intended to survive the termination of your agreement with Vepapu and remains enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. You expressly acknowledge that your agreement to this provision forms a critical part of the terms governing your use of Vepapu’s Website and Services and is essential for the allocation of risks and responsibilities.

By continuing to use this Website or Services, you acknowledge and agree to the jurisdictional and governing law terms outlined in this section, which are intended to ensure consistency, clarity, and predictability in resolving disputes. If any part of this clause is determined to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

26. ASSIGNMENT

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate any of your rights, obligations, or privileges under these Terms and Conditions without the prior written consent of Vepapu. Any attempted assignment or delegation without such consent shall be null and void. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes any transfer of your rights or obligations to another entity or individual, whether by operation of law, merger, sale of assets, or otherwise.

Vepapu reserves the right to assign, transfer, or delegate any or all of its rights and obligations under these Terms without notice or consent, including, but not limited to, in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law. You hereby acknowledge and agree that any such assignment, transfer, or delegation by Vepapu will not constitute a breach of these Terms and shall remain binding on you.

These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective parties and their permitted successors and assigns. In the event of an assignment by Vepapu, all references to "Vepapu," "we," "our," or "us" in these Terms shall refer to the assignee or successor entity.

27. MODIFICATIONS TO TERMS AND SERVICES:

Vepapu Inc. reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, amend, or update these Terms and Conditions and any associated policies at any time. Such changes may be necessary to reflect alterations in applicable laws, our business operations, or service offerings, or for any other reason deemed appropriate by Vepapu. By continuing to access or use our Website or Services after modifications are posted, you agree to be bound by the updated Terms.

All modifications to these Terms will be effective immediately upon their posting on our Website, unless otherwise stated. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms to stay informed about any changes. Your continued use of our Website or Services constitutes your acknowledgment of, and agreement to, the updated Terms. If you disagree with any changes, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue use of the Website and Services.

Vepapu also reserves the right to modify, add to, or discontinue any aspect of its Services, service packages, or product offerings at any time without prior notice. This includes, but is not limited to, changes to package inclusions, pricing, features, or the availability of specific services. Modifications to service packages or offerings may occur to enhance their utility, comply with legal or regulatory requirements, align with market conditions, or respond to operational needs.

In the event of significant changes to service offerings or packages that materially affect your rights or obligations, Vepapu may provide additional notice, such as via email or through notices on the Website. However, such notification is not guaranteed, and it remains your responsibility to monitor updates to our offerings and terms. Any changes to service offerings will not retroactively impact agreements already fulfilled, but they may apply to ongoing or future service agreements.

You acknowledge and agree that Vepapu is not liable for any damages, losses, or inconveniences resulting from the addition, removal, or modification of services or service features. By engaging with our Services, you accept that the scope and nature of offerings may evolve over time and that such changes are an integral part of Vepapu’s operational flexibility. If Vepapu discontinues a service you have purchased or subscribed to, you may be eligible for a prorated refund, at Vepapu’s sole discretion, for the unused portion of the service, unless such discontinuation is due to a breach of these Terms on your part. Vepapu’s decision regarding refunds in such circumstances shall be final.

28. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions, or any part thereof, is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction or through applicable laws, such provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms. The invalidity or unenforceability of any specific provision shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall continue in full force and effect. The severed provision shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be replaced with a valid, enforceable provision that most closely reflects the original intent and purpose of the invalid or unenforceable provision. If no such provision can be reasonably substituted, the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be interpreted in a manner that limits its scope to align with its lawful intent.

You acknowledge and agree that this Severability clause is fundamental to ensuring the integrity and enforceability of these Terms and that the continuation of the remaining provisions represents the mutual intent of both parties to maintain a legally binding agreement. This provision shall apply irrespective of the reason for the invalidity or unenforceability, including changes in applicable laws, regulatory requirements, or court rulings. If any provision of these Terms is deemed unenforceable in one jurisdiction, it shall not affect its enforceability in any other jurisdiction unless explicitly prohibited by applicable law.

29. WAIVER

No failure or delay by Vepapu in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms and Conditions shall constitute a waiver of that right, power, or privilege, nor shall any partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege preclude any further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. A waiver of any provision of these Terms shall only be effective if it is explicitly stated in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Vepapu. Any such waiver shall apply only to the specific instance and purpose for which it is granted and shall not be deemed a continuing waiver of any subsequent breach or default.

You acknowledge and agree that any delay or failure by Vepapu to enforce any provision of these Terms or to respond to a breach by you or any other user shall not be construed as a waiver of our rights to enforce such provisions or respond to subsequent breaches. The rights and remedies provided in these Terms are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. This Waiver clause ensures that the rights and protections afforded to Vepapu under these Terms remain intact, regardless of our decision to enforce them in specific instances. If any provision of this Waiver clause is deemed unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

30. FORCE MAJEURE

Vepapu shall not be held liable or responsible for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under these Terms and Conditions if such failure or delay arises from events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control. Such events may include, but are not limited to, acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, governmental actions or restrictions, labor disputes, war, terrorism, civil unrest, power outages, internet or telecommunication disruptions, or other unforeseen events that prevent Vepapu from fulfilling its obligations (“Force Majeure Events”).

In the event of a Force Majeure Event, Vepapu’s obligations under these Terms shall be deemed suspended for the duration of the Force Majeure Event. Vepapu will make reasonable efforts to notify affected users of the occurrence of the event and, where possible, the expected duration of the disruption. If the Force Majeure Event continues for an extended period, Vepapu reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate any affected Services without incurring liability to you.

You acknowledge and agree that Force Majeure Events may impact the timeliness of Services, including but not limited to compliance filings, company renewals, and document submissions. Vepapu shall not be liable for any penalties, fines, losses, or damages incurred as a result of such delays. Users remain responsible for mitigating the consequences of such disruptions, including paying any applicable late fees or penalties imposed by third parties.

At Vepapu, the well-being and safety of our employees, customers, partners, and stakeholders are of utmost importance. We are committed to fostering a culture of respect, equity, and inclusion, where every individual is treated with dignity and professionalism. This policy underscores our zero-tolerance approach to any form of discrimination, harassment, abuse, or violence in interactions involving Vepapu or its representatives.

We strive to provide a supportive and respectful working environment for our employees, recognizing their contributions as essential to the success of our organization. Similarly, we expect our customers, partners, and suppliers to engage with Vepapu and its employees in a courteous and professional manner. Any conduct that undermines this standard is strictly prohibited, including but not limited to aggressive language, threats, inflammatory statements, or discriminatory remarks based on race, religion, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic. Behavior that creates a hostile or intimidating environment, whether verbal, written, or physical, will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Vepapu reserves the right to take action against individuals or entities responsible for such conduct, regardless of when the offending behavior occurred. There are no temporal limitations on our ability to address violations of this policy; Vepapu retains the right to review and act upon past events as necessary to safeguard its workplace and uphold its values.

When inappropriate behavior is identified, Vepapu may take a range of actions, including notifying the individual of their misconduct, ceasing further communication, and restricting access to our Services. We are committed to providing individuals with an opportunity to rectify their behavior before taking decisive action. However, if such behavior persists or escalates, Vepapu will take immediate and appropriate measures to ensure the safety and well-being of its employees and other stakeholders.

This policy also affirms Vepapu’s right to address historical incidents of inappropriate behavior, even if they predate the implementation of this policy or are brought to light at a later date. Such actions may include restricting services, terminating business relationships, or pursuing legal remedies where warranted. This open timeline ensures that Vepapu can adequately address past harms and maintain a secure and respectful environment for all. By engaging with Vepapu’s Services, all individuals and entities agree to adhere to this Duty of Welfare Policy. Violations of this policy may result in immediate action, including, but not limited to, termination of services, legal proceedings, or other remedies as deemed appropriate.
