Terms of Service

Updated January 5, 2020

Welcome to GrantWestCapital.com's technology platform. The GrantWestCapital.com service and network (collectively, the “Service”) are operated by GrantWestCapital.com, a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”). By accessing or using our web site at www.GrantWestCapital.com, including any subdomain thereof (the “Site”), you (the “User”) signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these terms of service (“Terms of Service”), regardless of whether you are a registered member of the Service.

We are a technology platform that permits Business Owners (as defined below) and certain other persons to independently connect with issuers of financial lending services relating to business loans, lines of credit and funding. These Terms of Service govern your access and use of the Site and all content, services and/or products provided through the Site (collectively, the “Service”). Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using the Service on the Site. If you violate any of these Terms of Service (which include by reference GrantWestCapital.com's Privacy Policy), or otherwise violate an agreement between you and us, the Company may terminate your membership, delete your profile and any content or information that you have posted on the Site and/or prohibit you from using or accessing the Service or the Site (or any portion, aspect or feature of the Service or the Site), at any time in its sole discretion, with or without notice.

In addition to these Terms of Service, you may enter into other agreements with us or others that will govern your use of the Service or related services offered by us or others. If there is any contradiction between these Terms of Service and another agreement you enter into applicable to specific aspects of the Service, the other agreement shall take precedence in relation to the specific aspects of the Service to which it applies. As used herein, “Users” means anyone who accesses and/or uses the Site.

Changes to these Terms of Service

We may make changes to these Terms of Service from time to time. If we do this, we will post the changed Terms of Service on the Site and will indicate at the top of this page the date the Terms of Service were last revised. You understand and agree that your continued use of the Service or the Site after we have made any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service.

Eligibility

This Site is intended solely for Users who are eighteen (18) years of age or older, and any registration by, use of or access to the Site by anyone under 18 is unauthorized, unlicensed and in violation of these Terms of Service. By using the Service or the Site, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older and that you agree to and abide by all of the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service. If you violate any of these Terms of Use, or otherwise violate an agreement between you and us, or for any other reason, the Company may terminate your membership, delete your profile and any content or information that you have posted on the Site and/or prohibit you from using or accessing the Service or the Site (or any portion, aspect or feature of the Service or the Site), at any time in its sole discretion, with or without notice, including without limitation if it believes that you are under 18. You agree that the Company will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your membership.

The portion of our Service (and certain pages of the Site) that relate to the viewing of actual lending opportunities or to acquiring funding therein are available only to certain qualified, registered and authorized users. Such portions of our Service and the Site may thus not be available in all jurisdictions or to all Users.

Confidential Information includes all technical and non-technical data. You agree that all Confidential Information will be kept in confidence and that you will only use the Confidential Information for the purposes for which it was disclosed. To the extent applicable, you will not modify, reverse engineer, decompile, create other works from, or disassemble any such Confidential Information unless otherwise specified in writing by the disclosing party. These restrictions will not apply to Confidential Information to the extent it (a) was in the public domain at the time of disclosure; (b) became publically available after disclosure without breach of this agreement; (c) was lawfully received from a third party without such restrictions; (d) was known to you without such restrictions prior to your access to it via our Site; (e) was independently developed by you without breach of this agreement; (f) was generally made available to third parties by GrantWestCapital.com without such restriction; or (g) is required by applicable law.

You agree to use the Site and Service only for purposes that are legal, proper and in accordance with these Terms and any applicable law, rules or regulations. You may not:

The Service may allow you and other users to submit, post, transmit and share content with other Users. You are solely responsible for any such content (which may include photos, profiles, messages, notes, text, information, music, video, contact information for you or others, advertisements or other content) that you upload, publish, provide or display (hereinafter, “post”) on or through the Service or the Site, or transmit to or share with other Users (collectively, the “User Content”).

Governing Law; Arbitration

By visiting or using the Site and/or the Service, you agree that the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any principles of conflict of laws that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction, will govern these Terms of Service. By agreeing to the Terms and using the Website and the Service, you agree to submit to personal jurisdiction in Delaware for all purposes, and you agree to waive, to maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a trial by jury for any matter. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by you and us, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Terms, or any breach thereof, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, or such arbitration body as required by law, rule or regulation, and final judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language before a single arbitrator in Delaware. Such arbitration must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either GrantWestCapital.com or you may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief without breach of this arbitration provision.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates and each of their directors, officers, agents, contractors, employees and representatives, harmless from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service or the Site, your conduct in connection with the Service or the Site or with other Users of the Service or the Site, or any violation of these Terms of Use or of any law or the rights of any third party, any of your User Content, and any Third Party Content you post or share on or through the Site.

Other

If any provision of these Terms of Service is held invalid, the remainder of these Terms of Service shall continue in full force and effect. If any provision of these Terms of Service shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Service and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
