Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal contract between you and HarbourView Equity Partners (“us” or “our” or “we” or “HarbourView”) and govern your use of all the text, data, information, graphics, photographs and more (all of which are referred to as “Materials”) that we and our affiliates may make available to you through this website (the “Website”)

READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE BROWSING THIS WEBSITE.  USING THIS WEBSITE INDICATES THAT YOU HAVE BOTH READ AND ACCEPT THESE TERMS.  YOU CANNOT USE THIS WEBSITE IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS.

THIS WEBSITE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.  THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, INCLUDING ANY INFORMATION REGARDING HARBOURVIEW’S CURRENT OR HISTORICAL PORTFOLIO COMPANIES, IS NOT INTENDED TO RECOMMEND ANY COMPANY OR INVESTMENT AND IS NOT AN OFFER TO SELL, OR SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY, ANY SECURITY.  PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT A GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

CHANGES.

We may alter the Materials we offer and/or we may choose to modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the Website at any time and without notifying you.  Some HarbourView services accessible via the Website and certain new features and enhancements may require the payment of additional fees, and HarbourView will determine at its sole discretion whether access to any other such services, features and/or enhancements will require an additional fee. We may also change, update, add or remove provisions (collectively, “modifications”) of these Terms from time to time.  Because everyone benefits from clarity, we will post any modified Terms on this website.

If you object to any such modifications, your sole recourse shall be to cease using the Website.  Continued use of any part of the Website following notice of any such modifications indicates you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the modifications.  Also, please know that these Terms may be superseded by legal notices or terms located on specific pages of this Website or associated with specific products, services or software offered by HarbourView.  Such legal notices or terms supersede the provision(s) of these Terms.  

GENERAL USE.

We invite you to use this Website and the Materials for individual, informational purposes (“Permitted Purposes”).  By using this Website, you agree that you are at least 13 years of age.  If you are under 18 years of age (a “Minor”), you must use the Website only if you have the permission of your parent or legal guardian to use the Website and agree to these Terms.  If you are a parent or legal guardian of a Minor, you agree to bind the Minor to these Terms and to fully indemnify and hold us harmless if the Minor breaches any of these Terms.

In these Terms we are granting you a limited, personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use and to display the Materials for the Permitted Purposes; your right to use the Materials is conditioned on your compliance with these Terms.  You have no other rights in this Website or any Materials and you may not modify, edit, copy, reproduce, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, alter, enhance or in any way exploit any of this Website or Materials in any manner.  If you make copies of any of this Website while engaging in Permitted Purposes then we ask that you be sure to keep on the copies all of our copyright and other proprietary notices as they appear on this Website.  

Unfortunately, if you breach any of these Terms the above license will terminate automatically and you must immediately destroy any downloaded or printed Materials (and any copies thereof).

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS.

By using the Website or any part of the Website, you consent to receiving electronic communications from us.  These electronic communications may include notices about transactional information and other information concerning or related to the Materials provided on or through the Website.  These electronic communications are part of your relationship with us.  You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that we send you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.

PRIVACY POLICY.

We respect the information that you provide to us and want to be sure you fully understand exactly how we use that information.  Please review our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) [hyperlink to be added] which explains how we collect and use personal information.

LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY SITES.

We think links are convenient, and we sometimes provide links on this Website to third-party websites.  If you use these links, you will leave this Website. We are not obligated to review any third-party websites that you visit via a link on the Website, we do not control any of the third-party websites, and we are not responsible for any of the third-party websites (or the products, services, or content available through any of them). Therefore, unless specifically stated on our Website, we do not endorse or make any representations about such websites or any information, material or results that may be obtained from using them. If you decide to access any of the third-party websites linked to from this Website, you do this entirely at your own risk and you must follow the privacy policies and terms and conditions for those third-party websites.  Certain areas of the Website may allow you to interact, conduct transactions, and/or share your activity on our Website with one or more third-party websites. YOU AGREE THAT HARBOURVIEW WILL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY GOODS, SERVICES, INFORMATION, RESOURCES AND/OR CONTENT AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH ANY THIRD-PARTY SITES AND/OR THIRD-PARTY DEALINGS OR COMMUNICATIONS, OR FOR ANY HARM RELATED THERETO, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LOSS CAUSED OR ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED BY OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OR RELIANCE ON THE CONTENT OR BUSINESS PRACTICES OF ANY THIRD-PARTY.

UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES.

To be clear, we authorize your use of this Website only for Permitted Purposes.  Any other use of this Website beyond the Permitted Purposes is prohibited and, therefore, constitutes unauthorized use of the Website.  This is because as between you and us, all rights in this Website remain our property.

Unauthorized use of this Website may result in violation of various United States and international copyright laws.  Unless you have written permission from us stating otherwise, you are not authorized to use this Website in any of the following ways (these are examples only and the list below is not a complete list of everything that you are not permitted to do):

  • For any public or commercial purpose which includes use of this Website on another site or through a networked computer environment;
  • In a manner that modifies, publicly displays, publicly performs, reproduces or distributes any of this Website;
  • In a manner that violates any local, state, national, foreign, or international statute, regulation, rule, order, treaty, or other law;
  • To stalk, harass, or harm another individual;
  • To impersonate any person or entity or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;
  • To interfere with or disrupt this Website or servers or networks connected to this Website;

  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of this Website or any other accounts, computer systems, or networks connected to this Website, whether through hacking, password mining, or any other means.

You agree to hire attorneys to defend us if you violate these Terms and that violation results in a problem for us.  You also agree to pay any damages that we may end up having to pay as a result of your violation.  If you are a New Jersey resident, this indemnification clause is to be only as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the state of New Jersey. You alone are responsible for any violation of these Terms by you.  We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you and, in such case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim.

We make no warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of this Website or as to the accuracy or reliability of any information obtained through this Website.

FEEDBACK.

Any submissions by you to us (e.g., comments, questions, suggestions, materials – collectively, “Feedback”) through any communication whatsoever (e.g., call, fax, email) will be treated as both non-confidential and non-proprietary.  You hereby assign all right, title, and interest in, and we are free to use, without any attribution or compensation to you, any ideas, know-how, concepts, techniques, or other intellectual property and proprietary rights contained in the Feedback, whether or not patentable, for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to, developing, manufacturing, having manufactured, licensing, marketing, and selling, directly or indirectly, products and services using such Feedback.  Where the foregoing assignment is prohibited by law, you hereby grant us an exclusive, transferable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid up license (including the right to sublicense) to use and exploit all Feedback as We may determine in our sole discretion.  You understand and agree that we are not obligated to use, display, reproduce, or distribute any such ideas, know-how, concepts, or techniques contained in the Feedback, and you have no right to compel such use, display, reproduction, or distribution.

GENERAL.

We think direct communication resolves most issues – if we feel that you are not complying with these Terms, we will tell you.  We will even provide you with recommended necessary corrective action(s) because we value this relationship.

However, certain violations of these Terms, as determined by us, may require immediate termination of your access to this Website without prior notice to you.  The laws of the State of New Jersey and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to the choice or conflicts of law provisions, will govern these Terms.  Foreign laws do not apply.  The United Nations on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and any laws based on the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) shall not apply to these Terms.  Any disputes relating to these Terms or this Website will be heard in the courts located in Essex County, New Jersey.  If any of these Terms are deemed inconsistent with applicable law, then such term(s) shall be interpreted to reflect the intentions of the parties, and no other terms will be modified.  By choosing not to enforce any of these Terms, we are not waiving our rights.  These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us and, therefore, supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements about this Website.  The proprietary rights, disclaimer of warranties, representations made by you, indemnities, limitations of liability and general provisions shall survive any termination of these Terms.
