Terms of Service

Last updated: June 14, 2026

Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using VA Ready on Apple's App Store (iOS) or Vet Ready on Google Play (Android) — collectively referred to as "the App" — you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. VA Ready and Vet Ready are the same software product released under different names to comply with each platform's branding requirements; both are produced by JDL Software LLC. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the App.

Description of Service

The App is an informational tool that helps veterans:

• Estimate their combined VA disability rating using VA math, including TDIU (Total Disability Individual Unemployability) and P&T (Permanent & Total) calculations
• Surface conditions and presumptive pathways based on their military occupational specialty (MOS), duty assignments, and documented exposures — cross-referenced against the PACT Act, Camp Lejeune, AFFF / PFAS, K2 (Karshi-Khanabad), Agent Orange, and other registries (the "Exposure Calculator")
• Explore federal and state veteran benefits at any rating level
• Read CFR-sourced filing guides and VA form explainers for commonly-claimed conditions, including DBQ references, rating criteria, and evidence checklists
• Browse references and links to third-party, peer-reviewed medical literature related to commonly-claimed conditions
• Find and contact VA-accredited representatives, and read or contribute ratings and reviews of those offices
• Track symptoms over time and export a personal summary or claim document
• Schedule local reminders for C&P exams, appeal deadlines, and other claim milestones
• Understand the VA claims filing process
• Submit feedback, feature requests, and bug reports to the developer, optionally including a reply-to email address

The App is a reference tool only. It does not file claims, access VA systems, or interact with any government database on your behalf.

Not Legal or Medical Advice

IMPORTANT: The information provided by the App is for general informational and educational purposes only. It is NOT:

• Legal advice — consult a VA-accredited attorney or claims agent
• Medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare provider
• A guarantee of benefits — actual ratings are determined by the VA
• An official VA resource — we are not affiliated with the Department of Veterans Affairs

You should not rely solely on information from this App to make decisions about your VA disability claim, medical treatment, or legal rights.

Peer-Reviewed Research Library

The App may display references, summaries, and links to third-party, peer-reviewed medical and scientific literature (for example, studies indexed in public databases such as the U.S. National Library of Medicine / PubMed). This material is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, is not a substitute for professional medical judgment, and does not establish that any condition is related to your service. We do not control, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or continued availability of third-party sources, and the inclusion of any study in the App is not a clinical recommendation. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding your medical condition.

Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of information in the App, including:

• Rating criteria sourced from 38 CFR Part 4
• Compensation rates from published VA tables
• Benefit information from state and federal sources

However, we do not guarantee that all information is current, complete, or error-free. VA regulations, compensation rates, and benefit programs change periodically. We update the App regularly but there may be delays between official changes and App updates.

Subscriptions and Payments

The App offers optional Pro subscriptions and a one-time Lifetime Pro purchase. Billing is handled by the platform you downloaded the App from:

• iOS (VA Ready): All purchases are processed by the Apple App Store. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Manage or cancel under your Apple ID account settings.
• Android (Vet Ready): All purchases are processed by Google Play Billing. Payment is charged to your Google Play account at confirmation. Manage or cancel under Google Play → Subscriptions.
• Recurring subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period
• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period
• The Lifetime Pro option is a one-time purchase and does not renew
• Refunds for partial subscription periods are not provided by JDL Software LLC; refund eligibility is governed by Apple's or Google's policies, respectively

Free features remain available without a subscription on both platforms.

Local Notifications

The App offers optional local push notifications for reminders you explicitly create, including C&P exam reminders and claim milestone alerts. All notifications are scheduled on your device using the platform's local notification system (iOS local notifications on iPhone, Android notification channels on Android). We do not send remote push notifications, marketing messages, or server-driven alerts. You may enable or disable notifications at any time under iOS: Settings → VA Ready → Notifications, or Android: Settings → Apps → Vet Ready → Notifications. Reminder times and content are determined entirely by what you enter in the App; we have no visibility into, or control over, what you schedule.

User Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code
• Scrape, copy, or redistribute the App's content or data
• Misrepresent the App's output as official VA determinations

Ratings, Reviews, and User-Submitted Content

The App lets you submit ratings, reviews, and recommendations of VA-accredited representatives and offices, as well as feedback to the developer. You are solely responsible for content you submit and represent that it is truthful, your own, and lawful. Do not submit content that is defamatory, harassing, misleading, unlawful, or that infringes another party's rights or privacy. Ratings and reviews reflect the opinions of individual users; they are not endorsements by JDL Software LLC, and we do not independently verify or guarantee them. We may moderate, edit, or remove any user-submitted content at our discretion. By submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to display and use that content within the App for the purpose of operating its review and feedback features.

Disputing a rating — for VSOs and offices. We want the ratings shown for accredited representatives and offices to be fair and accurate. If you are a Veterans Service Officer, office, or organization listed in the App or on this website and you believe a rating, review, or related information about you is inaccurate, erroneous, or unfair, you may request a review by emailing support@vareadyapp.com. Please include the name and location of the office and any evidence or context supporting your request. We will evaluate the claim and the supporting evidence for factual accuracy within five (5) business days of receipt, and will remove or correct any rating, review, or information we determine to be erroneous.

Intellectual Property

The App — whether distributed as VA Ready (iOS) or Vet Ready (Android) — including its design, code, content, and branding, is the intellectual property of JDL Software LLC. The VA disability rating criteria referenced in the App are derived from public federal regulations (38 CFR) and are in the public domain.

Neither "VA Ready" nor "Vet Ready" is affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. "VA" and "Vet" in our names are general descriptors referring to U.S. military veterans, not claims of government affiliation.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, JDL SOFTWARE LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM:

• Your use of or inability to use the App
• Any inaccuracy in ratings, benefit estimates, or filing guidance
• Any decision you make based on information in the App
• Any unauthorized access to your data

Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless JDL Software LLC from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the App or violation of these Terms.

Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the App at any time, without prior notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users or the App.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
