License. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and view the Site for your personal, non-commercial, informational use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Site availability. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Site or any feature of it, in whole or in part, with or without notice. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuation.

3. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the Site for any unlawful, fraudulent, harmful, or abusive purpose;

• Scrape, crawl, or harvest content or contact information from the Site for spam, marketing, or other unauthorized purposes;
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of the Site, except where applicable law expressly permits;
• Misrepresent your identity, affiliation, or the truthfulness of any information you submit;
• Use the Site in a manner that infringes the rights of Biztree Holdings or any third party.

4. Intellectual property

The Site and its contents — including text, graphics, logos, photographs, illustrations, design, code, structure, and organization — are owned by Biztree Holdings or its licensors and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. The names “Biztree™,” “Biztree Holdings™,” and the Biztree pyramid mark are trademarks of Biztree Holdings, Inc. All other trademarks appearing on the Site are the property of their respective owners. You may not use any Biztree trademark without our prior written permission.

5. Submissions and inquiries

If you submit any inquiry, idea, pitch, business plan, feedback, or other material to us through the Site or by email (a “Submission”), you represent that you have the right to do so and that the Submission is truthful and accurate. We are under no obligation of confidentiality with respect to a Submission unless we have agreed otherwise in writing in a signed agreement. Submitting a pitch or business plan does not create any partnership, joint venture, employment, fiduciary, or investment relationship between you and Biztree Holdings.

6. No professional advice; no offer of securities

Information on the Site is provided for general informational purposes only. Nothing on the Site constitutes legal, tax, accounting, financial, or investment advice, and you should not rely on it as such. Nothing on the Site is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities, investment, or financial product. Any such offering would be made only through definitive offering materials and to qualified investors in jurisdictions where such offers are lawful.

7. Third-party links and services

The Site may contain links to websites, services, or content operated by third parties, including Biztree Holdings portfolio companies. Such links are provided for convenience only. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for third-party sites or content, and your use of them is governed by their own terms and policies.

Portfolio companies are separate legal entities. Each company in which Biztree Holdings invests, builds, or holds an interest is a separate legal entity. Biztree Holdings is not responsible for the products, services, terms, privacy practices, or content of any portfolio company. Conversely, the Site and these Terms govern only the relationship between you and Biztree Holdings, Inc., and not any portfolio company.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR AVAILABILITY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, BIZTREE HOLDINGS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT INFORMATION ON THE SITE IS CURRENT OR COMPLETE.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL BIZTREE HOLDINGS, ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE — WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100).

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Biztree Holdings and its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents, from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Site, your Submissions, or your breach of these Terms.

11. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The courts located in State of Delaware, USA will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Site, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, those courts.

12. Dispute resolution; arbitration; class-action waiver

Informal resolution first. Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to attempt to resolve any dispute by sending a written description of the issue through our contact form and giving us thirty (30) days to respond.

Binding individual arbitration. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site (other than as carved out below) will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, with the seat of arbitration in Wilmington, Delaware. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver. You and Biztree Holdings each agree to bring any dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding.

Carve-outs. Either party may bring (i) an action in small-claims court, where applicable; (ii) an action seeking injunctive or other equitable relief to protect intellectual-property rights, including trademark, copyright, trade secret, or patent; or (iii) any action that, under applicable law, may not be subject to mandatory arbitration.

Opt-out. You may opt out of this Section 12 by sending written notice through our contact form within thirty (30) days of first agreeing to these Terms or the date these Terms are first amended to include arbitration. Your notice must include your name, the URL of the Site, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, the rest of these Terms (including Section 11) continue to apply.

This Section 12 survives termination of your access to the Site.

13. DMCA copyright notice

If you believe that material on the Site infringes a copyright you own or control, you may submit a notification under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). Notifications must include:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
• Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and where it appears on the Site, sufficient to permit us to locate it;
• Your contact information (name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address);
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Send notifications to our designated agent at dmca@biztreeholdings.com, or by mail to: Biztree Holdings, Inc., Attn: DMCA Agent, Wilmington, Delaware. We may, in our sole discretion, remove material claimed to be infringing without prior notice. Repeat infringers may have their access to the Site terminated.

14. California users

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), as described in our Privacy Policy. Biztree Holdings does not “sell” or “share” personal information as those terms are defined under California law.

California Civil Code Section 1789.3 requires that we provide California residents with the following: complaints regarding the Site may be sent to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs.

15. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective” date above. For material changes that meaningfully affect your rights or our obligations, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide additional notice — for example, by posting a banner on the Site for a reasonable period or by emailing the address you have provided through the contact or newsletter forms. Your continued use of the Site after we post a revised version constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

16. General

Severability, waiver, entire agreement, assignment. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision will not be deemed a waiver. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Biztree Holdings regarding the Site. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a financing, reorganization, merger, or sale of assets.

Survival. The provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive any termination of your access to the Site — including Sections 4 (Intellectual property), 5 (Submissions and inquiries), 8 (Disclaimer of warranties), 9 (Limitation of liability), 10 (Indemnification), 11 (Governing law and jurisdiction), 12 (Dispute resolution), and this Section 16 — will survive any such termination.

U.S. export controls. The Site is operated from the United States. You agree not to use, export, or re-export the Site, or any technology or content obtained from it, in violation of any applicable U.S. export-control or sanctions laws, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations.
