Terms and Conditions

1. Agreement to these terms

These terms and conditions ("Terms") govern your use of automaticcompanies.com (the "Site"). By using the Site you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the Site. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information and forms part of these Terms.

2. Who we are

The Site is operated by Automatic Companies LLC, a limited liability company organised under the laws of the State of Delaware, United States ("Automatic Companies", "we", "us"). Contact details are in section 14.

3. What this site is, and is not

The Site describes what Automatic Companies does, who runs it and how to get in touch. It is provided for general information only.

• Not an offer. Nothing on the Site is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security, interest or investment in Automatic Companies or in any company it builds or backs. Any such offer would be made only through definitive documents, to eligible persons, in compliance with applicable law.
• Not advice. Nothing on the Site is investment, legal, tax, accounting or other professional advice. Get your own advice before acting on anything you read here.
• Descriptions may change. The companies, people and activities described on the Site change over time. We try to keep the Site accurate but do not promise that it is complete or current.

4. Using the site

You may use the Site for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You may not:

• use the Site in a way that breaks any law or infringes anyone's rights;
• send us false, misleading, abusive or unlawful content, or content you have no right to share;
• send unsolicited commercial messages through the contact form, or use it to test, probe or overload our systems;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, the systems behind it or the data they hold;
• scrape, copy or harvest content or personal information from the Site by automated means, except for search engines indexing public pages in accordance with our robots directives;
• interfere with the Site's operation, including by introducing malicious code or bypassing security or spam controls.

We may suspend or block access to the Site for anyone who breaches these Terms.

5. What you send us

When you use the contact form or email us, you confirm that what you send is accurate, that you have the right to send it, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights. You give us permission to use it to respond to you, to evaluate the opportunity you describe and to keep a record of the conversation, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Unless we agree otherwise in writing, anything you send us is not confidential, and we are free to consider and pursue ideas, opportunities and businesses that resemble what you describe, including ones we were already working on. If you need confidentiality, ask for a written agreement before sharing details.

Voice recordings you make on the Site are treated the same way as written messages. Do not record anyone other than yourself without their permission.

6. Intellectual property

The Site and its content, including text, graphics, the Automatic Companies name and mark, the gear-and-arrow logo and the design of the Site, are owned by Automatic Companies or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. You may view the Site and print or save pages for your own reference. You may not otherwise copy, modify, distribute, publish or create derivative works from the content, or use our names or marks, without our written permission.

The names and marks of the companies described on the Site, including DataFactor and Lev3, belong to those companies. Other names and marks belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only.

7. Other websites and companies

The Site links to websites we do not control, including the websites of the companies we build and back and third-party platforms such as LinkedIn. Those sites have their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content, availability or practices. A link is not an endorsement.

Each company we build or back is a separate legal entity. Nothing on the Site makes Automatic Companies responsible for the products, services, contracts or conduct of any of those companies, or makes any of them responsible for Automatic Companies.

8. Disclaimers

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant that the Site or the servers that make it available are free of viruses or other harmful components.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Automatic Companies and its members, managers, officers, employees, agents and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms, however caused and under any theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the same extent, our total liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms will not exceed one hundred United States dollars (USD 100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case our liability is limited to the smallest amount the law allows.

10. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Automatic Companies and the persons listed in section 9 from any claims, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Site in breach of these Terms, content you send us, or your violation of any law or of anyone's rights.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Site are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. You and we agree that the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction over any such dispute, and each of us submits to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction whose law gives you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts or to rely on your local consumer protection law, nothing in this section takes that right away.

Before starting formal proceedings, please write to us at contact@automaticcompanies.com. Most problems can be solved with an email.

12. Changes to these terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The effective date at the top shows the current version. Changes apply from the moment they are published on this page, and your continued use of the Site after that is acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. General

• If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect and the unenforceable part is replaced with an enforceable one that comes closest to its intent.
• Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
• These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Site and replace any earlier terms.
• You may not assign your rights under these Terms. We may assign ours to a successor to the business.
• Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship between you and us.
