Restrictions for Minors

Under U.S. law, minors (individuals under 18) are generally prohibited from entering binding contracts unless certain conditions are met. To protect younger users, Skyveria enforces the following restrictions:

No Direct Account Creation: Minors may not create a personal Skyveria account without parental or guardian consent.

Limited Data Collection: We only collect the minimal data necessary for compliance with COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) and other applicable privacy statutes.
Age-Restricted Content: Certain features, services, or content may be unavailable to users under 18, regardless of parental consent.
Termination Rights: Skyveria reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account suspected of being operated by a minor without proper consent.

By clicking “I Agree,” you confirm that you are either:

At least 18 years old, or
A parent or legal guardian providing consent on behalf of a minor, and you accept full responsibility for the minor’s actions while using Skyveria.

What This Means for You

Accepting these terms is more than a formality—it’s a commitment to a safe, transparent, and mutually respectful online experience. Should any part of this agreement be deemed unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply. Skyveria may amend these terms at any time, and continued use of our services after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised agreement.

Thank you for choosing Skyveria. We’re thrilled to have you on board, and we look forward to delivering an exceptional experience—while keeping everything crystal clear and legally sound.

Governing Law

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

All rights, obligations, and liabilities arising under or in connection with the Skyveria platform, its services, and any related agreements shall be governed exclusively by the substantive laws of the United States, without regard to conflict‑of‑law principles. The parties expressly consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the State of California for any actions that are not resolved through the alternative dispute mechanisms set forth below.

Dispute Resolution Process

In the event a dispute arises between Skyveria and a user, customer, partner, or any other party, the parties agree to follow the sequential steps outlined below before seeking judicial relief:

Good‑Faith Negotiation: The disputing parties shall first attempt to resolve the matter through direct, good‑faith negotiations. Either party may initiate this stage by delivering a written notice describing the nature of the dispute and the relief sought. Negotiations must commence within ten (10) business days of receipt of such notice and continue for a minimum of fifteen (15) business days, unless the parties reach a mutually acceptable resolution earlier.
Mediation: If negotiations fail to produce a settlement, the parties shall submit the dispute to non‑binding mediation administered by a neutral mediator selected from the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or an equivalent reputable organization. The mediation shall be conducted in San Francisco, California, or via a virtual platform mutually agreed upon by the parties. The costs of mediation shall be shared equally, and each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees.
Arbitration: Should mediation not result in a settlement, the dispute shall be finally and bindingly resolved by arbitration under the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, as then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator with experience in commercial and technology law, appointed by the AAA unless the parties agree otherwise. The arbitration shall be held in San Francisco, California, and shall be conducted in English. The arbitrator’s award shall be final, conclusive, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Arbitration Procedures

Notice of Arbitration: The initiating party shall deliver a written demand for arbitration to the other party, including a concise statement of the claim, the relief sought, and any supporting documentation.
Selection of Arbitrator: Within ten (10) business days of receipt of the demand, the parties shall agree on an arbitrator. Failing agreement, the AAA shall appoint an arbitrator in accordance with its rules.
Discovery and Evidentiary Rules: The arbitrator may allow limited discovery consistent with the efficiency goals of arbitration, and shall apply the Federal Rules of Evidence unless otherwise ordered.
Confidentiality: All arbitration proceedings, including filings, hearings, and the award, shall be confidential and may not be disclosed except as required by law or for enforcement purposes.
Award Enforcement: The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
