Welcome to AllRaise VC Checkwriter Dashboard. Please read on to learn the rules and restrictions that govern your use of our website (the “Service”). If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these terms or the Service, please contact us at hello@allraise.org. These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you, Crunchbase, Inc. and All Raise Inc. (“we”, “us” and “our”). By using the Service in any way, you agree to and accept all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect at all times while you use the Service or any data obtained through the Service. These Terms govern your access to the Service and use of all data, content and other information on our website and include the provisions in this document, as well as those in the Privacy Policy, GDPR Privacy Policy and Independent Controller Data Processing Addendum.

These Terms include information about future changes to these Terms, limitations of liability, a class action waiver and resolution of disputes by arbitration instead of in court.

ARBITRATION NOTICE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER: EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES DESCRIBED IN THE ARBITRATION SECTION BELOW, YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.

Will these Terms ever change?

We are constantly trying to improve our Service, so these Terms may need to change along with the Service. We reserve the right to change these Terms at any time, but if we do, we will bring it to your attention by placing a notice on the website, by sending you an email, and/or by some other means.

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 Service. If you use the Service in any way after a change to these Terms is effective, that means you agree to all of the changes.

Except for changes by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by you and us.

What about my privacy?

We take the privacy of our users very seriously. For our current Privacy Policy, please click here.

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that online service providers obtain parental consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from children under 16; if you are a child under 16, please do not attempt to register for the Service or send any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 16, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 16 may have provided us personal information, please contact us at hello@allraise.org.

Do I have to grant any licenses?

Anything you post, upload, share, store, or otherwise provide through the Service is your “User Submission.” Some User Submissions are viewable by other users. For all User Submissions, you hereby grant us a royalty-free, perpetual, sublicenseable, irrevocable, and worldwide license to translate, modify, aggregate, reproduce, display, distribute, and otherwise use and exploit such User Submissions for our business purposes, including to provide, develop, and improve our Service.

You are prohibited from including Social Security Numbers, driver’s license numbers, passport numbers, financial account and payment card information, precise geolocation, and health and biometric information as part of any User Submission.

What if I see something on the Service that infringes my copyright?

You may have heard of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”), as it relates to online service providers, like us, being asked to remove material that allegedly violates someone’s copyright. We respect others’ intellectual property rights, and we reserve the right to delete or disable Content alleged to be infringing; to report potentially infringing content, click here.

Who is responsible for what I see and do on the Service?

Any information or Content publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Service is the sole responsibility of the person or organization from whom such Content originated. You access all such information and Content at your own risk, and we aren’t liable for any errors or omissions in that information or Content or for any damages or loss you might suffer in connection with it. We cannot control and have no duty to take any action regarding how you may interpret and use the Content or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you having acquired or not acquired Content through the Service.

You are responsible for all Content you contribute, in any manner, to the Service, and you represent and warrant you have all rights necessary to do so, in the manner in which you contribute it. Content includes, without limitation, personally identifiable information about you or any other person. You are responsible for all your activity in connection with the Service.

Content that constitutes personally identifiable information may be subject to privacy laws or regulations, and your use of all such Content must at all times comply with the terms of our Privacy Policy. You are solely responsible for understanding how privacy laws and regulations may impact your use of such Content and for ensuring that your use (including retention, storage, and all other forms of processing) complies with all such laws and regulations.

The Service may contain content, data, links or connections to or from third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by us (“Third-Party Service(s)”). When you access or use Third-Party Services, you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that we are not responsible for such risks. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Service and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each Third-Party Service that you visit or utilize.

We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed in any Third-Party Services or by any third-party that you interact with through the Service. In addition, we will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor or edit the content of any Third-Party Services. By using the Service, you release and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your access to or use of any Third-Party Service.

Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Service, including payment and delivery of goods or services (if applicable), and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such organizations and/or individuals. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third-parties. You agree that we shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings.

If there is a dispute between participants on this site, or between users and any third-party, you agree that we are under no obligation to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you release us, our affiliates, and our and their directors, officers, agents, employees, partners, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Service. If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

Will we ever change the Service?

We’re always trying to improve the Service, so it may change over time. We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Service, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Service. We’ll try to give you notice when we make a material change to the Service that would adversely affect you, but this isn’t always practical. Similarly, we reserve the right to remove any Content from the Service at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges that Content was contributed in violation of these Terms), in our sole discretion, and without notice.

From time to time, we may require you to expunge some or all of the Content in your possession, and you will do so promptly upon request.

What if I want to stop using the Service?

You’re free to do that at any time; please refer to Privacy Policy, as well as the licenses above, to understand how we treat information you provide to us after you have stopped using our Service.

We are also free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of the Service, for any reason in our discretion, including your breach of these Terms. We have the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms.

Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us.

What else do I need to know?

We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without consent.

Choice of Law; Arbitration. These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of these Terms (whether brought against us or against any director, officer or employee of us in their personal capacity) shall be finally settled in San Francisco County, California, in English, in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service, Inc.

For all purposes of these Terms, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state or federal courts located in, respectively, San Francisco County, California, or the Northern District of California.

Third-Party Trademarks are used by us to refer to the owners of the Third-Party Trademark(s) in question and use by us is not intended to (and does not) constitute or imply any kind of relationship between us and the owners of the Third-Party Trademark(s) in question, including any affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement or approval of products and/or services, unless otherwise expressly indicated.

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 is 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. These Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and us, and they supersede and cancel all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of ours, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind us in any respect whatsoever. You agree there are no third-party beneficiaries intended under these Terms.
