Terms of Service

By accessing or using velaris.io (the "Site") or submitting an application for the Velaris Verified Operator Program, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site or submit an application.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Velaris LLC. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Site following any modification constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

Velaris operates a compliance-first operational infrastructure platform that connects verified U.S.-based Independent Business Operators (IBOs) with ecommerce businesses requiring compliant U.S. operational participation. The Site provides information about the Verified Operator Program and accepts applications from qualified U.S. residents.

Velaris is not a bank, financial institution, licensed money services business, employment agency, or staffing firm. The Verified Operator Program constitutes an independent contractor participation arrangement, not an employment relationship.

To be eligible to apply for the Verified Operator Program, you must:

• Be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident
• Be at least 18 years of age
• Have a valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification
• Have a current U.S. residential address
• Have a Social Security Number
• Be eligible to pass a standard background check
• Not be subject to any existing legal obligation that would prohibit your participation

Meeting these eligibility criteria does not guarantee approval into the program. All applications are subject to manual review and Velaris's sole discretion in determining program suitability.

Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance into the Verified Operator Program. Velaris reviews all applications manually and approves applicants based on eligibility criteria, verification quality, documentation completeness, and operational suitability. Velaris reserves the right to decline any application for any lawful reason.

Monthly stipend compensation is tied to active participation and compliance standing within the program. Velaris makes no guarantee of specific income levels, continued participation, or uninterrupted stipend payments beyond what is expressly provided in an executed Participation Agreement.

By using the Site, you agree not to:

• Provide false, misleading, or fraudulent information in any application or communication
• Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Site or its systems
• Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation
