Terms and Conditions

Effective date:
November 30, 2023

Welcome to eclipse.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 of Use (the “Terms”) or the Services, please contact us at admin@eclipse.vc.

These Terms are a binding contract between you and Eclipse Ventures, LLC (“Eclipse,” “we” and “us”). You must agree to and accept all the Terms, or you don’t have the right to use the Services; using the Services means that you agree to all of these Terms. These Terms include the provisions in this document, as well as those in our Privacy Policy. The Services may change, so these Terms may need to change as well. We reserve the right to change these Terms at any time. You should check these Terms periodically for modifications. 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 the changes.

Who We Are  

This Website is maintained and operated by Eclipse Ventures, LLC (“Eclipse”), which provides administrative and other services to Eclipse entities. In accordance with industry custom, this Website occasionally uses terminology that may be interpreted to suggest that our firm is a single entity. However, there is no such single entity and all the entities that comprise our firm have their own separate legal existence.

Materials 

Except for certain Materials provided through a password protected area on this Website (see below), ALL MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” MAY NOT BE RELIED UPON FOR ANY PURPOSE, AND ARE NOT SUBJECT TO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. In particular, except to the extent that Materials provided through a password protected area on this Website are subject to different rules, we make no representations or warranties with regard to the Materials’ accuracy, completeness, non-infringement or fitness for a particular purpose. You should be aware that a significant portion of the Materials include or consist of information that has been provided by third parties and has not been validated or verified by us. In connection with our investment activities, we often become subject to a variety of confidentiality obligations to funds, investors, portfolio companies and other third parties. Any statements we make may be affected by those confidentiality obligations, with the result that we may be prohibited from making full disclosures. Without limitation on the effect of other warnings and disclaimers set forth in these Terms, you should interpret any statements we make (on this Website or otherwise) in that context. Please ensure that your own computer security is comprehensive and up-to-date.

Except as expressly stated by an Eclipse entity in writing, neither this Website nor any of the Materials make any effort to present a comprehensive or balanced description of Eclipse or its investment activities. This material presented is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice. Our views and opinions expressed in any website content are current at the time of publication and are subject to change. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

This Website is intended solely to provide information regarding Eclipse’s potential financing capabilities for prospective portfolio companies.  The information provided on this Website, including information regarding Eclipse’s current and historical portfolio companies and other investments, is not intended to recommend any company or investment described herein and is not an offer or sale of any security or investment product or investment advice.
