Terms of Use

Effective Date: 10/12/2022

Welcome to www.nvc.vc. Please read on to learn the rules and restrictions that govern your use of our website(s) and application(s) (the “Services”). If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these terms or the Services, please contact us at info@newviewcap.com.

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and NewView Capital Management, LLC (“NewView,” “we” and “us”). Your use of the Services in any way means that you agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Services. These Terms include the provisions in this document as well as those in our Privacy Policy. Your use of or participation in certain Services may also be subject to additional policies, rules and/or conditions (“Additional Terms”), which are incorporated herein by reference, and you understand and agree that by using or participating in any such Services, you agree to also comply with these Additional Terms.

Will these Terms ever change?

We are constantly trying to improve our Services, so these Terms may need to change along with our Services. We reserve the right to change the Terms at any time.

If you don’t agree with the new Terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will no longer be able to use the Services. If you use the Services in any way after a change to the Terms is effective, that means you agree to all of the changes.

What about my privacy?

NewView takes the privacy of its users very seriously. For the current NewView Privacy Policy, please click here.

What are the basics of using our website?

You represent and warrant that you are an individual of legal age to form a binding contract. If you’re agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on that organization’s or entity’s behalf and bind them to these Terms (in which case, the references to “you” and “your” in these Terms, except for in this sentence, refer to that organization or entity).

You will only use the Services for your own internal, personal use, and not on behalf of or for the benefit of any third party, and only in a manner that complies with all laws that apply to you. You will comply with all laws that apply to you, your use of the Services, and your actions and omissions that relate to the Services. If your use of the Services is prohibited by applicable laws, then you aren’t authorized to use the Services. We can’t and won’t be responsible for your use of the Services in a way that breaks the law.

Are there restrictions on how I can use the Services?

You represent, warrant, and agree that you will not provide or contribute anything, including any Content (as defined below), to the Services, or otherwise use or interact with the Services, in a manner that:

  • infringes or violates the intellectual property rights or any other rights of anyone else (including NewView);
  • violates any law or regulation, including, without limitation, any applicable export control laws, privacy laws or any other purpose not reasonably intended by NewView;
  • is dangerous, harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable;

  • copies or stores any significant portion of the Content; or
  • decompiles, reverse engineers, or otherwise attempts to obtain the source code or underlying ideas or information of or relating to the Services.

A violation of any of the foregoing is grounds for termination of your right to use or access the Services.

What are my rights in the Services?

The materials displayed or performed or available on or through the Services, including, but not limited to, text, graphics, data, articles, photos, images, illustrations and so forth (all of the foregoing, the “Content”) are protected by copyright and/or other intellectual property laws. You promise to abide by all copyright notices, trademark rules, information, and restrictions contained in any Content you access through the Services, and you won’t use, copy, reproduce, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, upload, display, license, sell, commercialize or otherwise exploit for any purpose any Content not owned by you, (i) without the prior consent of the owner of that Content or (ii) in a way that violates someone else’s (including NewView’s) rights.

Subject to these Terms, we grant each user of the Services a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable license to use (i.e., to download and display locally) Content solely for purposes of using the Services. Use, reproduction, modification, distribution or storage of any Content for any purpose other than using the Services is expressly prohibited without prior written permission from us. You understand that NewView owns the Services. You won’t modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce (except as expressly provided in this Section), create derivative works based on, or otherwise exploit any of the Services. The Services may allow you to copy or download certain Content, but please remember that even where these functionalities exist, all the restrictions in this section still apply.

If you contact us or provide us (in a direct email or otherwise) with any feedback, suggestions, improvements, enhancements, and/or feature requests relating to the Services (each of the foregoing, a “User Submission”), then you grant NewView a license to use and exercise all rights in that User Submission, in connection with the Services and/or otherwise in connection with NewView’s and its affiliates’ (including its affiliated funds’) business(es). You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the accuracy and content of any User Submissions. Do not provide any information that you consider to be proprietary or a trade secret, or which you desire to be treated as confidential, including any information regarding potential investment opportunities. While NewView will comply with the Privacy Policy with respect to your personal information that we gather when you are accessing or using our Services, NewView does not agree to any other obligation of confidentiality, non-use or non-disclosure with respect to information submitted or otherwise communicated to NewView, including information submitted to us regarding potential investment opportunities (via email or otherwise). NewView undertakes no obligation to review information submitted by you, or to return such information to you. We may receive information that is similar to information you submit, or may have already received information containing ideas and plans that are the same as or similar to ideas and plans contained in information you submit to us. In no event shall NewView or any of its affiliates (including affiliated funds) be limited in, or restricted from, the pursuit of any opportunities, either alone or with third parties.

The Services may contain links or connections to third party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by NewView, which may include those that are operated by portfolio companies of NewView. When you access third party websites or use third party services, you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that NewView is not responsible for such risks, regardless of whether or not NewView or one of its affiliated funds has an investment relationship with the entity offering such site(s) or service(s). We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Services and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party website or service that you visit or utilize.

NewView has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed in any third party websites or by any third party that you interact with through the Services. In addition, NewView will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor or edit the content of any third party site or service.

The Services are intended solely to provide general information regarding NewView and nothing contained on or in the Services is an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any security. The Content is intended for financially sophisticated investors; NewView does not solicit or make its services generally available to the public. Further, the information contained in the Content, including information regarding investments and NewView’s portfolio company experience may not be relied on in any manner as legal, tax, accounting or investment advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results and it should not be assumed that results for any investments or portfolio companies described in the Content will be achieved for other investments or portfolio companies. Portfolio company information and team member profiles provided on the Services are not considered to be a complete list. 

Will NewView ever change the Services?

We’re always trying to improve our Services, so they may change over time. We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Services, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Services. We reserve the right to remove any Content from the Services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that Content in violation of these Terms), in our sole discretion, and without notice.

What else do I need to know?

The NewView Parties make no representations or warranties regarding suggestions or recommendations of services offered or purchased through or in connection with the Services. Services are provided “AS-IS” and without any warranty of any kind from the NewView Parties or others (unless, with respect to such others only, provided expressly and unambiguously in writing by a designated third party for a specific product). THE SERVICES AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED BY NEWVIEW (AND ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS) ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Limitation of Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TORT, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) SHALL ANY OF THE NEWVIEW PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, ACCURACY OF RESULTS, OR COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, (B) ANY SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR TECHNOLOGY, (C) ANY AMOUNT, IN THE AGGREGATE, IN EXCESS OF ONE-HUNDRED ($100) DOLLARS OR (D) ANY MATTER BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL.

You agree to indemnify and hold the NewView Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages (actual and consequential), losses and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or in any way related to any claims relating to (a) your use of the Services, and (b) your violation of these Terms.

Choice of Law. These Terms are governed by and will be construed under applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. For all purposes hereunder, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the courts located in San Francisco, California.

Miscellaneous. The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms are found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. There are no third party beneficiaries intended under these Terms. These Terms are the only agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein; provided, however, that these Terms do not supersede any other agreements we may have with you with respect to different subject matter. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of NewView, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind NewView in any respect whatsoever.
