10. DISCLAIMERS — RESULTS, INCOME, AND PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.
10.1 No professional advice. The Services provide general business and educational information only. Nothing in the Services constitutes legal, tax, accounting, financial, investment, securities, insurance, or medical advice, and no attorney-client, fiduciary, advisory, or clinical relationship is created by your use of the Services. No content should be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a licensed professional in your jurisdiction who is familiar with your specific circumstances. You should consult your own attorney, CPA, and licensed advisors before acting on anything you encounter here.
10.2 No income or earnings guarantee. We make no guarantee, representation, or warranty regarding revenue, profit, growth, client acquisition, or any other business result. Building a business involves substantial risk, including the risk of total loss. Your results depend on factors outside our control, including your market, capital, skill, effort, timing, and conditions we cannot predict.
10.3 Testimonials and examples. Any testimonials, case studies, screenshots, or examples reflect the individual experience of specific people and are not typical, average, or promised results. We do not verify every claim made by a participant. Where we present a result, we describe the relevant circumstances to the extent known.
10.4 Forward-looking statements. Any statement about what may or could happen is an opinion, not a promise.
10.5 "AS IS." THE SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE. Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of implied warranties, so some exclusions may not apply to you.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SMITH CATALYST VENTURES, LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so portions of this Section may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be limited by law.
12. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Smith Catalyst Ventures, LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the Services, your content, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, for any reason including breach of these Terms. You may stop using the Services at any time. Sections 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 15, and 16 survive termination.
14. DMCA
If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, send a notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to our designated agent:
R. Brandon Smith, Designated Agent Smith Catalyst Ventures, LLC 30 N Gould St, Ste , Sheridan, WY 82801 [email protected]
Your notice must include a signature, identification of the work and the infringing material, your contact information, a good-faith belief statement, and a statement of accuracy under penalty of perjury. We will respond in accordance with the DMCA and may terminate repeat infringers.
15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION
15.1 Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at [email protected] with a written description of the dispute and the relief sought, and to negotiate in good faith for 60 days. This is a condition precedent to arbitration or suit.
15.2 Binding arbitration. Except as provided in Section 15.5, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. Arbitration will be conducted by videoconference, or in Sheridan County, Wyoming, at your election.
15.3 Class action waiver. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim will proceed in court and all other claims remain in arbitration.
15.4 Public injunctive relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims for public injunctive relief that cannot be waived under applicable law may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, and such claims will be stayed pending arbitration of all other claims.
15.5 Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property rights.
15.6 Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and intent to opt out. Opting out does not affect any other provision.
16. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to Section 15, the exclusive venue for any action is the state and federal courts located in Sheridan County, Wyoming, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. Nothing in this Section deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of your state of residence.
17. GENERAL
Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Messaging Terms, and any applicable order form or engagement agreement constitute the entire agreement between you and us.
Changes. We may revise these Terms. Material changes will be posted with a revised Effective Date and, where required, notified to you. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. Changes do not apply retroactively to disputes already noticed under Section 15.1.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remainder will stay in effect.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond reasonable control.
Electronic communications. You consent to receive communications from us electronically and agree that electronic agreements, notices, and records satisfy any legal requirement of a writing.
