The Marks and Services are protected by intellectual property and proprietary rights Laws. Any use of the Marks and Services in violation of these Terms is a violation of our rights and such intellectual property and proprietary rights Laws.

   2. Marks. You will not use Halcyon’s or any of its affiliates’ or licensors’ names, logos, trademarks, trade dress, service marks, business names, or other propriety indicia (collectively, the “Marks”), without our prior written consent, in each instance.

   3. Violations of Restrictions. Violations of the restrictions in this Section 4, or of system or network security measures protecting the Services, may result in civil or criminal liability. We will investigate occurrences that may involve such violations and may involve or cooperate with law enforcement authorities in prosecuting people who are involved in such violations. We reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate legal action against anyone who, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms, including suspending or terminating access to the Services, and reporting violations to law enforcement authorities.

      
      

5. THIRD-PARTY SITES

   We may provide on or through the Services, links or other access to third-party sites, content, information, materials, goods, or services on the Internet that are not owned, controlled, or operated by us (“Third-Party Sites”). Access to or use of any Third-Party Site is at your own risk, and we are not responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any information accessible from Third-Party Sites. We provide access and links to Third-Party Sites merely as a convenience, and any links are not an endorsement of, and we do not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to, Third-Party Sites. You use all Third-Party Sites at your own risk and should apply a suitable level of caution and discretion in doing so. When you visit any Third-Party Site, including using a link from the Services, the applicable third party’s terms and policies apply, including the third party’s privacy and data gathering practices. You should take all actions that you deem appropriate or necessary before proceeding with any transaction in connection with such third party or Third-Party Site.

   
   

6. INDEMNIFICATION, RELEASE, DISCLAIMERS

   1. Indemnity; Release. You agree to release, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Halcyon and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, representatives, suppliers, and agents (together, “Halcyon Parties”) from and against any and all rights, claims, causes of action, or other proceedings (collectively, “Claims”) and any related losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, fines, penalties, and injuries (including death), of any kind, arising out of or relating to your: (a) use of (or inability to use) the Services or Third-Party Sites; or (b) violation of these Terms or applicable Law in connection with your use of or access to the Services, including any actual or alleged infringement by you, or any person to whom you provide access to the Services, of any intellectual property, proprietary, or privacy rights of any third party. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you within a reasonable amount of time after becoming aware of any Claim for which you are required to indemnify any Halcyon Party and may assume the exclusive defense and control of any such Claim. You agree to cooperate, at your expense, with our defense of such Claims. If we do not assume the defense of any such Claim, you will assume the defense and control of such Claim at your sole cost and expense and using an attorney reasonably acceptable to us; provided that, we may participate, at our sole cost and expense, in such defense with counsel of our own choosing. You may not settle any Claim subject to this Section without our prior written consent.

   2. Disclaimer. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND THIRD-PARTY SITES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, TO BE USED ONLY FOR PERSONAL, INTERNAL, AND NON-COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. THE HALCYON PARTIES MAKE NO WARRANTIES (EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AND THIRD-PARTY SITES, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, TITLE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF ANY COURSE OF DEALING, PERFORMANCE, OR TRADE USAGE. YOU AGREE THAT USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING ALL OF THE SERVICES BEFORE RELYING ON THEM. WE MAY DISCONTINUE PROVIDING ACCESS TO THE SERVICES OR MAY CHANGE THE NATURE, FEATURES, FUNCTIONS, SCOPE OR OPERATION OF THE SERVICES PURSUANT TO THESE TERMS, INCLUDING IMPOSING LIMITS ON CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE SERVICES OR RESTRICTING ACCESS TO THE SERVICES. NONE OF THE HALCYON PARTIES WARRANT THAT: (A) THE SERVICES WILL CONTINUE TO BE PROVIDED OR MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; (B) THE SERVICES WILL FUNCTION AS DESCRIBED, CONSISTENTLY, OR IN ANY PARTICULAR MANNER, OR WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ACCURATE, CURRENT, COMPLETE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS; (C) THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE; OR (D) THE QUALITY OF THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS. THERE ARE NO EQUITABLE INDEMNITIES.
      
      

   3. No Investment Advice. The Services are intended for general informational purposes only and are not intended to provide, and should not be construed as, legal, business, tax, accounting, investment, financial, or any other form of professional advice. You agree not to construe any Services as such advice. You should consult qualified professionals before making any legal, tax, financial, or investment decisions.  The Halcyon Parties do not offer investment advisory services to the general public through the Services. No information on the Services should be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or to engage in any investment strategy.  The Services contain information about grants, career transition support, incubation programs, and other forms of assistance that the Halcyon Parties may provide to selected individuals and organizations. The Services and descriptions of all of the foregoing do not constitute a binding commitment, promise, or guarantee to provide funding, grants, mentorship, or any other form of support to any person or entity. Submission of an application or inquiry does not create any right or entitlement to receive assistance of any kind.

   4. Portfolio Companies and Past Performance.  The Services may include information regarding past or present portfolio companies, investments, grants, or incubations managed or supported by the Halcyon Parties. Such Content may be outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate. References to past or present portfolio companies should not be construed as a recommendation of any particular investment, security, or business opportunity. The portfolio companies listed on the Services do not represent a complete list of all investments, grants, or incubations that the Halcyon Parties have made, and the listed portfolio companies should not be assumed to have been profitable. Past performance information presented on the Services is not indicative of future results. No Halcyon Party makes any representation or warranty that any investment, grant recipient, or incubated project will achieve results similar to those referenced on the Services.

   5. Forward Looking Statements.  Certain Content contained on the Services constitute “forward-looking statements,” including statements regarding expectations about portfolio company performance, market trends, projected outcomes, anticipated technological developments, and the potential impact of AI-related risks and opportunities. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “target,” or other similar terms or expressions. All forward-looking statements represent only the intent and belief of the Halcyon Parties as of the date such statements were made. These statements are inherently uncertain and subject to risks, and actual events or results may differ materially from those reflected or contemplated in the Services. None of the Halcyon Parties: (a) assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any forward-looking statements; or (b) undertake any obligation to update, revise, or disseminate any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by Law. 

      
      

7. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

   1. Limitations of Liability. NONE OF THE HALCYON PARTIES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, OR DATA, OR OTHER LOSSES (EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR SUCH DAMAGES WERE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE), WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, RESULTING FROM: (A) THE USE OF OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR THIRD-PARTY SITES; (B) THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES RESULTING FROM YOUR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICES OR THIRD-PARTY SITES; (C) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF INFORMATION YOU MAY PROVIDE TO US; (D) STATEMENTS OR CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ON ANY THIRD-PARTY SITES; OR (E) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THIRD-PARTY SITES. IN ANY CASE, THE HALCYON PARTIES AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU, OR ANY PERSON CLAIMING WITH, UNDER, OR THROUGH YOU, FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS AND IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES, SHALL BE LIMITED TO $100.

   2. Contractual Limitations Period. Any claim or cause of action that you have against us arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services, must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or will be forever barred.

   3. Exclusions. Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusions of liability for certain types of damages or contractual limitation periods for certain claims. Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you to the extent prohibited by Law. In such cases, the Halcyon Parties’ liability and the time for you to bring any applicable claim or cause of action will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

      
      

8. TERMINATION

   Subject to this Section, these Terms will remain in full force and effect while you use the Services. We may suspend or terminate your right to use the Services at any time for any reason in our sole discretion, including for violation of these Terms. Upon termination of your rights under these Terms, your right to access and use the Services will terminate immediately. We will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any termination of your rights under these Terms. Even after your rights under these Terms are terminated, the following provisions of these Terms will remain in effect: Sections 1, 3, 4, and 6 through 11.

   
   

9. DISPUTES

   1. Governing Law; Forum Selection; Jury Waiver. These Terms will be governed by the Laws of the state of California without regard to its rules on conflicts or choice of law. All claims and causes of actions you may have against us must be exclusively asserted in the state and federal courts in Los Angeles, California, and you hereby unconditionally and irrevocably: (a) consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts; (b) waive any and all objections to the jurisdiction of such courts, including for inconvenience of the forum and improper venue; and (c) WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION, CLAIM, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES.

   2. Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms, you acknowledge and agree that your actual or threatened breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to Halcyon for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy.  Accordingly, Halcyon will be entitled to specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, without any obligation to post any bond, to remedy or mitigate any such breach.  The remedy set forth in this Section is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedy available to Halcyon under these Terms, at law, or in equity.

      
      

10. GENERAL TERMS

    1. Electronic Communications. When you use the Services or send us emails, you are communicating with us electronically. For contractual purposes, you: (a) consent to receive communications from us in an electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically (including by posting on the Website, or through e-mail or other electronic formats) satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if such communications were in a hardcopy writing, and will be considered received upon posting or other distribution. You further agree that electronic communications, including consents and authorizations that you may give, shall satisfy any legal requirements for a writing.

    2. Relationship of the Parties. These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between you and any Halcyon Party. Halcyon and you are independent contractors and neither party will have the power to bind the other or to incur obligations on the other’s behalf without the other party’s prior written consent.

    3. Entire Terms. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your access to and use of the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” and any variation of that word, means “including without limitation,” each variation of a defined term has the meaning the context requires, and the word “or” is not exclusive. No waiver by Halcyon of any term or condition set out in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Halcyon to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be replaced with a provision that is valid, legal, and enforceable and that reflects, as closely as possible, the original intent of the parties, and the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect. These Terms, and your rights and obligations under them, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without our prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section will be null and void. Halcyon may freely assign these Terms without restriction. The provisions in these Terms will be binding on all successors and assignees.
