PopHatch Terms of Service

PopHatch is a platform designed to support creative and business collaboration between entrepreneurs, builders, and experts. It provides tools for showcasing work, sharing ideas, accessing expert content, and building together.

The Platform and all content available through it, including AI-generated insights, user submissions, and shared ideas, are provided for general informational and creative purposes only. Nothing on PopHatch constitutes legal, tax, investment, financial, or other professional advice, and should not be relied upon as such.

You may not use the Platform to promote or solicit investment opportunities, offer securities, or conduct fundraising in any way that would violate applicable laws, including the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account and for ensuring that anyone who accesses the Platform through your internet connection complies with these Terms. You may not sell, transfer, or assign your account to any other person or entity.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your username, password, and other login credentials. You must not share your login details with anyone else.

If you select a paid subscription plan ("Plan"), you agree to pay all applicable fees associated with your Plan and any other use of the Platform. All fees are stated and payable in U.S. dollars and are exclusive of any applicable taxes.

All fees are non-refundable unless required by law. Plans with automatic renewal are billed on the renewal date unless canceled in advance.

You retain ownership of all content you upload, post, or otherwise make available through the Platform, including text, files, videos, links, and messages ("User Content").

Except for User Content, the Platform and all related content, features, and functionality are owned by PopHatch or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.

PopHatch uses artificial intelligence systems to support your experience on the Platform. This includes generating recommendations, summaries, startup ideas, strategy prompts, and other creative or analytical outputs ("AI Content").

AI Content is provided for informational and creative purposes only and may contain inaccuracies, outdated information, or inappropriate suggestions. It is not professional advice.

PopHatch owns all rights to any AI Content generated through the Platform, including content influenced by your inputs.

PopHatch is designed to foster meaningful collaboration between builders, creators, and experts. By participating in the Platform, you agree to uphold a respectful, builder-first environment.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Platform at any time, with or without notice. This includes removing or altering features, restricting user access, or deleting User Content as part of updates, system maintenance, or business decisions.

Access to the Platform may occasionally be limited or unavailable due to scheduled maintenance, technical issues, or unforeseen disruptions. While we aim to minimize downtime and notify users of major changes, we are not obligated to provide advance notice or maintain uninterrupted access.

PopHatch is not liable for any loss, damage, or inconvenience resulting from the unavailability, modification, or discontinuation of any part of the Platform.

If you believe that any content on the Platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by providing our designated agent with the following written information:

• A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner
• A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed
• A description of where the infringing content is located on the Platform
• Your name, address, telephone number, and email address
• A statement by you that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement by you, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner

You acknowledge that if you knowingly misrepresent that material or activity is infringing, you may be subject to liability under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to our Platform, business practices, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we may notify you by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page, posting a notice on the Platform, or using other reasonable methods. However, we are not obligated to provide individual notice of every update.

Your continued use of the Platform after any changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Platform.

The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. PopHatch specifically disclaims all warranties, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Platform will be error free, secure, uninterrupted, or free of viruses or other harmful components. Your use of the Platform is at your sole risk.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, PopHatch and its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, including damages for loss of profits, goodwill, data, or other intangible losses, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event will PopHatch's total liability to you for all claims relating to the Platform exceed the greater of (i) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (ii) $100.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform will be resolved through binding arbitration conducted in Las Vegas, Nevada, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), rather than in court, except that either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

You agree that all disputes will be resolved individually, and you waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative action. Unless prohibited by law, you and PopHatch waive the right to a jury trial.

The arbitrator shall have the authority to award damages and relief consistent with these Terms. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
