Terms of Service
These Terms of Service form a contract between you and VenturePulse, Inc. governing access to and use of our website, publications, and advisory services. By accessing the site or engaging our services you agree to these terms. If you represent an organization, you confirm you have authority to bind that organization. Our content is intended for informational purposes and should not be treated as a substitute for professional legal, financial, or tax advice. When you purchase advisory services, a separate engagement agreement will describe scope, pricing, deliverables, and timelines; such an agreement takes precedence over these general terms for that engagement. We reserve the right to refuse service or terminate access for conduct that violates these terms. For clarity, personal data processing is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms by reference. If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remainder will continue to apply, and any invalid provision will be reinterpreted to achieve the original intent where permitted by law.
Services, engagement terms, and payments
When you engage VenturePulse for advisory services, we will provide a written engagement agreement that outlines scope, deliverables, timelines, and fees. Payment terms are included in the engagement agreement and typically require a deposit before work begins, with remaining fees invoiced according to the agreed schedule. Fees quoted are exclusive of applicable taxes and third-party costs which you agree to reimburse. Refunds and cancellations are governed by the engagement agreement; for short sprints, cancellations within a defined notice period may be subject to partial fees to cover preparatory work. If we provide editorial or free content, access to such content does not create a consultancy relationship unless expressly agreed in writing. You are responsible for providing accurate information necessary to perform services. If additional work outside the original scope is required, we will provide a change order and estimate for approval. We reserve the right to suspend services for non-payment until account standing is restored. Disputes about invoices should be raised promptly and will be handled in good faith, as described in the dispute resolution section below.
Warranties, limitation of liability, and indemnity
Our content and services are provided on an as-is basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, VenturePulse disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee specific outcomes from using our advice, templates, or services; results depend on execution, market conditions, and numerous external factors. Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms or use of the site is limited to the amount you paid to VenturePulse in the twelve months preceding the claim, or one hundred dollars if you have not paid fees, whichever is greater. We are not liable for indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages. You agree to indemnify and hold VenturePulse harmless from claims arising from your misuse of services, violation of these terms, or infringement of a third party’s rights. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be legally limited in your jurisdiction.
Governing law, dispute resolution, and changes
These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict of laws principles. If a dispute arises, we encourage you to contact us first to seek an informal resolution. For disputes that cannot be resolved informally, the engagement agreement may specify alternative dispute resolution; otherwise, exclusive jurisdiction and venue for claims will be the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California. We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements; material changes will be posted with a revised effective date, and where required by law we will provide notice. Continued use of the site or services after updates indicates your acceptance of the revised terms. For questions or to request clarification about these terms, please contact: VenturePulse, Inc., 145 Market St, Suite 300, San Francisco, CA 94105; email [email protected]; phone +1 (415) 555-0199.
