By using this Website, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these Terms.

WHO WE ARE
This Website is maintained and operated by General Ventures Pty Ltd, which provides administrative and other services to various General Ventures entities. In accordance with industry custom, this Website occasionally uses terminology that may be interpreted to suggest that our firm is actually a single entity. However, there is no such single entity and all of the entities that comprise our firm have their own separate legal existence.

MATERIALS
Except for certain Materials provided through a password protected area on this Website (see below), ALL MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” MAY NOT BE RELIED UPON FOR ANY PURPOSE, AND ARE NOT SUBJECT TO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. In particular, except to the extent that Materials provided through a password protected area on this Website are subject to different rules, we make no representations or warranties with regard to the Materials’ accuracy, completeness, non-infringement or fitness for a particular purpose. You should be aware that a significant portion of the Materials include or consist of information that has been provided by third parties and has not been validated or verified by us. In connection with our investment activities, we often become subject to a variety of confidentiality obligations to funds, investors, portfolio companies and other third parties. Any statements we make may be affected by those confidentiality obligations, with the result that we may be prohibited from making full disclosures. Without limitation on the effect of other warnings and disclaimers set forth in these Terms, you should interpret any statements we make (on this Website or otherwise) in that context. Please ensure that your own computer security is comprehensive and up to date.

Do not disclose your password to any unauthorized person. If you access Materials through a password protected area, please note that the written agreements between you and the applicable General Ventures entities, as well as any provisions set forth in those Materials, govern the parties’ respective rights and obligations with regard to those Materials. In particular, Materials provided through a password protected area generally are confidential and subject to limitations on disclosure and use, and General Ventures individuals and entities generally have limited liability with respect to the accuracy and completeness of such Materials.

NO OFFER, SOLICITATION OR ADVICE
Except to the extent expressly set forth in Materials provided through a password protected area on this Website, or as otherwise specified by a General Ventures entity in writing, nothing on this Website is intended to constitute (i) an offer, or solicitation of an offer, to purchase or sell any security, other asset or service, (ii) investment, legal, business or tax advice or an offer to provide such advice, or (iii) a basis for making any investment decision. The Materials are provided for informational purposes and have been prepared by General Ventures for informational purposes to acquaint existing and prospective portfolio companies, entrepreneurs and other company founders with General Ventures recent and historical investment activities. The Materials are not directed towards any existing or prospective investor in any General Ventures fund. The Materials are provided in summary form and do not purport to be complete. Please note that any investments or portfolio companies referenced in the Materials are illustrative and do not reflect the performance of any General Ventures fund as a whole. The Materials do not include a complete list of all General Ventures portfolio companies. Past performance is not indicative of future results and there can be no assurance that any General Ventures fund will achieve comparable results or that any future investments will be profitable. All forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions that may not prove to be correct. There is no obligation for General Ventures to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Except as expressly stated by a General Ventures entity in writing, neither this Website nor any of the Materials make any effort to present a comprehensive or balanced description of General Ventures or its investment activities.
