Website Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms govern your access to and use of the Ventures Harbor website, accounts, forms, listings and related services (“Platform”). By using the Platform or creating an account, you agree to these Terms. If you act for an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to do so.

2. Role of Ventures Harbor

Ventures Harbor is a business matchmaking platform that helps founders, prospective investors and business partners discover potential opportunities and connect. Unless separately agreed in writing, Ventures Harbor does not execute or manage transactions, receive or hold investment funds, act as a party to user agreements, or guarantee introductions, funding, returns or business outcomes.

Information on the Platform is not legal, tax, financial or investment advice and is not a recommendation to invest. Users should obtain independent professional advice where appropriate.

3. User Responsibilities

You agree to provide accurate and up-to-date information, keep your account secure, and ensure you are authorised to submit any information or documents you provide. You must not impersonate another person, submit misleading information, misuse other users’ data, infringe rights, or use the Platform for unlawful or fraudulent purposes.

4. Listings, Introductions and Due Diligence

Listings and profiles are provided by users and may describe proposed or indicative opportunities. Ventures Harbor may facilitate introductions but does not guarantee the accuracy of every user statement, the suitability of a prospective partner, or the completion of any transaction. Users are responsible for independently verifying information and conducting due diligence before proceeding.

5. Transactions Between Users

Any investment, partnership, ownership transfer, profit-sharing arrangement or acquisition is solely between the relevant parties. Those parties are responsible for negotiations, approvals, definitive agreements, payments, tax matters, regulatory compliance and performance. Do not treat a listing or introduction as a binding agreement.

6. Fees and Refunds

Ventures Harbor may charge a matchmaking fee to users who choose to unlock a business opportunity, founder profile, investor profile, or relevant connection through the Platform. The applicable fee will be determined and displayed to the user at the time of unlocking, before payment is made. By proceeding with the unlock and completing payment, the user agrees to pay the displayed fee and any applicable taxes.

Unless expressly stated otherwise at the time of payment or required by applicable law, the matchmaking fee is charged for access to the relevant opportunity or connection and does not guarantee that a transaction, investment, partnership, or commercial arrangement will be completed.

Any applicable cancellation or refund conditions will be communicated before payment. Payment of the matchmaking fee does not mean that Ventures Harbor executes transactions, handles investment funds, or guarantees the accuracy, suitability, or outcome of an opportunity.

7. Intellectual Property and Platform Use

Ventures Harbor’s branding, design, software and platform materials may not be copied or used without permission, except as permitted by law. You retain rights in content you submit, while allowing Ventures Harbor to use and display it as reasonably necessary to operate the Platform and provide the services you request.

8. Disclaimers and Liability

The Platform is provided on an “as available” basis. Ventures Harbor does not guarantee uninterrupted service, successful introductions, funding, returns or business performance. To the extent permitted by law, Ventures Harbor is not responsible for losses arising from dealings between users or transactions it does not execute. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

9. Suspension and Changes

We may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary for security, suspected misuse, breach of these Terms or legal compliance. We may update the Platform or these Terms and will publish material changes with a revised effective date or provide notice where required.

10. Governing Law and Contact

These Terms are governed by the laws of [Insert Jurisdiction], and disputes will be handled by the courts or forum at [Insert City / State], subject to applicable law.
