If you object to any such modifications, your sole recourse shall be to cease using the Site. Continued use of any part of the Site following notice of any such modifications indicates you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the modifications.

By using the Site or any part of the Site, 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 Site or Materials provided on or through the Site.

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. So, please review our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) which explains everything.

LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY SITES AND PUBLICATIONS

We think links are convenient and sometimes provide links from the Site to third-party websites. If you use these links, you will leave our Site. We are not obligated to review any third-party websites linked to from this Site, we do not control any of the third-party websites, and we are not responsible for any third-party websites (or the products, services, or content available through any of them). Thus, we do not endorse or make any representations about such third-party websites, any information, software, products, services, or materials found there or any results that may be obtained from using them. If you decide to access any of the third-party websites linked to this Site, 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 Site may allow you to interact and/or conduct transactions with one or more third-party websites.

This Site may contain hyperlinks to websites or references to other publications operated by third parties. Lightview Capital does not control the content or accuracy of information on such publications and does not otherwise endorse the material placed therein. Lightview Capital may provide links to third-party websites and publications that contain favorable opinions on Lightview Capital, while there may be other websites and publications that express negative opinions that are not made accessible through or referenced on this Site. The hyperlinks or references are provided for your reference only and should not be the basis of an investment decision.

ENDORSEMENTS AND AWARDS

The designation referred to on the Site was made by a third-party, and although Lightview Capital has no reason to believe that such designation, or the criteria for being considered for such designation, are inaccurate or misleading, Lightview has not independently verified the selection process and does not guarantee its completeness or accuracy. Apart from a $100 application fee, no compensation was paid in exchange for any such designation.                 
Endorsements on this Site may be provided by executives of Lightview portfolio companies. No compensation, either directly or indirectly, was provided in exchange for such endorsements. There is a potential conflict of interest in a portfolio company executive providing an endorsement, as an investment in a Lightview Capital fund may indirectly benefit such portfolio company. None of the above should be construed as advice or solicitation to buy or sell any securities nor as advice with respect to tax, legal or accounting matters.

UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES

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

Unauthorized use of this Site may result in violation of various United States and international copyright laws.

  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of this Site or any other accounts, computer systems, or networks connected to this Site, 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. 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. If you are a New Jersey resident, this clause is to be only as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the state of New Jersey.
