Terms of Service

Last updated · April 2, 2026

Effective date: March 20, 2026

The terms that govern your use of this website.

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website located at vertuem.com (the “Site”), operated by Vertuem LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business in New York, New York (“Vertuem,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They are written to be read, not just filed away. Please take a moment with them.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Site in any way — whether browsing, submitting a form, or otherwise interacting with it — you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Site. If you are using the Site on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization, and “you” refers to both you and that organization.

2. Use of the Site

The Site is provided for informational purposes — to present who we are, what we build, and how to reach us. You may view and use the Site for lawful, personal, and legitimate business purposes. You agree that you will not:

  • Use the Site in any way that violates applicable law or regulation.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site, its servers, or any connected systems or networks.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Site, including by introducing malware, launching denial-of-service activity, or probing for vulnerabilities without authorization.
  • Scrape, harvest, or systematically extract data or content from the Site by automated means, except for legitimate search-engine indexing consistent with our robots directives.
  • Use the Site to transmit unsolicited communications, or submit information that is false, misleading, defamatory, infringing, or unlawful.
  • Reproduce, frame, mirror, or otherwise misrepresent the Site or its content as your own.

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to the Site, in whole or in part, for anyone who violates these Terms or whose use we reasonably consider harmful, without notice and without liability.

3. Intellectual Property

The Site and everything that makes it up — its design, code, text, graphics, layout, the underlying shader and motion work, the selection and arrangement of content, and the look and feel as a whole — is owned by Vertuem or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. The “Vertuem” name, wordmark, and any associated logos and marks are the property of Vertuem.

Nothing on the Site grants you any license or right to use any of this material except as expressly set out here. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly display, create derivative works from, or otherwise exploit any part of the Site or its content without our prior written permission. Any rights not expressly granted are reserved.

4. User Submissions

If you submit information to us through a contact form, an application or intake form, or by email (a “Submission”), the following applies:

  • You represent that the Submission is accurate, that it is yours to share, and that sharing it with us does not violate any law or any obligation you owe to a third party.
  • You retain ownership of your Submission. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, and reproduce it solely for the purpose of reviewing, responding to, and evaluating it in connection with a potential relationship, and as otherwise described in our Privacy Policy.
  • You agree not to submit anything confidential or proprietary that you expect us to hold in confidence unless we have agreed to do so in a separate signed writing. A Submission made through the Site, on its own, does not create any confidentiality obligation, partnership, agency, employment, or fiduciary relationship between us.

We are free to decline, ignore, or delete any Submission at our discretion. We are under no obligation to respond, and our reviewing a Submission does not obligate us to enter into any relationship or agreement with you.

The Site may link to websites, services, or resources operated by third parties, including portfolio companies and partners. We provide these links for convenience and context. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for any third-party site or its content, products, or practices. Your dealings with any third party are solely between you and that third party, and we are not liable for any loss arising from them.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site and all content on it are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Vertuem disclaims all warranties, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Site or the servers that make it available are free of harmful components. Any information on the Site is provided for general purposes and does not constitute professional, legal, financial, or investment advice. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will Vertuem, its members, managers, employees, contractors, or its network of specialists be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses — arising out of or relating to your access to or use of, or inability to use, the Site, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In any case, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100.00). Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you; in such cases our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by law.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Vertuem and its members, managers, employees, contractors, and specialists from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the Site, your Submissions, or your breach of these Terms or of any law or the rights of a third party. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with us.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to the Site are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, those courts. If you access the Site from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with your local laws; this choice of law and forum does not deprive you of any mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence where those cannot be waived by agreement.

10. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and severed from the remainder, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalidity of one clause does not affect the validity of the rest.

11. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision. No waiver of any term will be considered a further or continuing waiver of that term or any other term, and our not asserting a right on one occasion does not give up our ability to assert it on another.

12. Modifications to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above, and where the changes are material we will take reasonable steps to signal them. The revised Terms take effect when posted, and your continued use of the Site after that point constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, your remedy is to stop using the Site.
