Subject to these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Site for your own personal, non-commercial review of information about the Company.

You shall not: (a) sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, host, frame, scrape, or otherwise commercially exploit the Site or any portion of it; (b) modify, make derivative works of, disassemble, reverse compile, or reverse engineer any part of the Site; (c) access the Site to build a similar or competitive website, product, or service; (d) use any robot, spider, or other automated means to access the Site, except for indexing by publicly available search engines; (e) use the Site in violation of any applicable law or regulation, including securities laws, sanctions, anti-money-laundering laws, and export controls; or (f) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Site.

Any future release, update, or addition to the functionality of the Site shall be subject to these Terms. All copyright and other proprietary notices on the Site must be retained on all copies.

The Company may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Site or any portion of it at any time, with or without notice. The Company will not be liable to you or any third party for any such modification, interruption, or termination.

2. No Offer; No Investment Advice

Nothing on the Site (including descriptions of our investment activities, portfolio companies, market commentary, team biographies, or other materials) constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, fund interest, or investment product, nor a recommendation to engage in any investment strategy or transaction. Any such offer or solicitation will be made only by means of definitive offering documents and only to persons who meet applicable investor eligibility requirements in their jurisdiction.

To the extent the Site contains information about prior investments, portfolio companies, or performance, that information is provided for illustrative purposes only. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results, and individual investments may experience material loss. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially.

To the extent any communication on the Site could be construed as an “advertisement” under SEC Rule 206(4)-1 or as marketing material under the SFC Code of Conduct, it is intended only for eligible investors and is subject to the disclosures, limitations, and supporting documentation required under those rules.

3. Restricted Jurisdictions

The Site is not intended for, and the information on it is not directed to or to be used by, any person or entity who is a citizen or resident of, or located in, any jurisdiction where such use would be contrary to law or regulation, or where the Company would be subject to a registration, licensing, or notification requirement that it has not satisfied. Persons who access the Site are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.

4. Limitation on Liability

Nothing in these Terms shall operate to exclude or limit any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for: (i) death or personal injury caused by negligence; (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (iii) any liability under the Hong Kong Control of Exemption Clauses Ordinance (Cap. 71) or U.S. federal or state securities laws to the extent such liability cannot lawfully be limited; or (iv) any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable mandatory law.

Subject to the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Company or its affiliates, suppliers, or licensors be liable to you or any third party for any lost profits, lost data, costs of procurement of substitute products or services, or any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of, or inability to use, the Site, even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Access to and use of the Site is at your own risk.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and except for liabilities that cannot lawfully be capped, the Company’s aggregate liability to you for all claims arising from or related to these Terms or the Site shall not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100). The existence of more than one claim does not enlarge this limit. The Company’s suppliers and licensors shall have no liability arising from or relating to these Terms.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply in part.

5. Third-Party Links and Content

The Site may contain links to third-party websites and resources. These links are provided for convenience only and do not indicate any endorsement, approval, or recommendation by the Company. The Company has no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the content, privacy practices, or terms of use of any third-party website or resource. Your use of any third-party website or resource is at your own risk.

6. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

A. Informal Resolution

Before initiating arbitration, the parties shall attempt to resolve any claim or dispute informally. The party initiating the dispute shall send the other party a written Notice of Dispute describing its nature and basis and the relief sought; a Notice to the Company should be sent to info@auliscapital.com. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Notice, either party may commence arbitration.

B. Arbitration

Subject to Section 6.E, all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of the Site shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the Notice of Arbitration is submitted. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong, the tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator (or three where the amount in dispute exceeds US$1,000,000), and proceedings shall be conducted in English. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

C. U.S. Federal Arbitration Act

If you are a resident of the United States, you and the Company agree that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement, notwithstanding any other choice-of-law provision in these Terms.

D. Class Action Waiver

YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consolidate more than one party’s claims or to preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) shall be severed from the arbitration and brought in the courts identified in Section 7.

E. Carve-Outs

Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court for claims within its jurisdiction; (ii) either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights or to prevent unauthorised access to or use of the Site; and (iii) nothing in this Section 6 shall prevent any party from making a complaint to a regulator or government agency, including the SEC, the SFC, or a state attorney general, or from exercising any right that cannot be waived under applicable law (including, where applicable, rights of California consumers under the CCPA/CPRA and rights of EU/UK data subjects under the GDPR/UK GDPR).

7. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Subject to Section 6 (Arbitration), the parties irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Hong Kong.

California residents. If you are a California resident, nothing in these Terms shall be construed to deprive you of the protections of the California Consumer Privacy Act, the California Privacy Rights Act, the California Online Privacy Protection Act, the California Financial Information Privacy Act, or any other non-waivable provision of California law applicable to your use of the Site.

EU / UK consumers. If you are an EU or UK consumer, you may also have the benefit of any mandatory consumer protections of the country in which you are habitually resident.

8. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, images, data, software, and the selection and arrangement thereof, is the property of Aulis Capital or its licensors and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. “Aulis Capital” and any associated logos and service marks are trademarks of the Company. Other names and logos appearing on the Site may be trademarks of their respective owners. You are not permitted to use any marks appearing on the Site without the prior written consent of the Company or the relevant third-party owner.

9. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Site in breach of these Terms; (b) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; or (c) your violation of any third-party right. The Company will provide reasonable notice of any such claim and reasonable cooperation in its defence.

10. General

These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy and any other notices posted on the Site) constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding your use of the Site and supersede all prior agreements and understandings on the same subject matter. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of that right or provision. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. You may not assign, subcontract, delegate, or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without the Company’s prior written consent; any purported assignment in violation of this section is void. The Company may assign these Terms without notice in connection with a corporate transaction described in the Privacy Policy.

Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy, which governs our collection and use of personal information, is available at auliscapital.com/privacy and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
