Terms of Service
Please read this Terms of Service agreement (the “Agreement”) carefully. Your access to or use of the Site (as defined below) constitutes your agreement to be bound by this Agreement.
This Agreement is between you and Artivest Holdings Inc. (referred to below as “Company,” “we,” and “us”) concerning your use of the website located at http://artivest.co from which you are accessing this Agreement (together with any successor site(s), the “Site”).
1. Acceptance of Terms. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Agreement and to any additional rules and guidelines that we may post on the Site. We may make changes to this Agreement (and to any such additional rules and guidelines) from time to time at our sole discretion; we may notify you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting the revised version of this Agreement on the Site. You can determine when we last changed this Agreement by referring to the “LAST UPDATED” legend above. Your access to or use of the Site following changes to this Agreement will constitute your acceptance of those changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any changes to this Agreement shall not apply to any dispute between you and Company arising prior to the date on which we posted the revised version of this Agreement incorporating such changes or otherwise notified you of such changes. We may, at any time, modify or discontinue all or part of the Site; charge, modify or waive any fees required to use the Site; or offer opportunities to some or all Site users.
BY USING THE SITE, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
2. No Offer or Advice. You acknowledge that the content of the Site is for general, informational purposes only and is not intended to constitute an offer to sell or buy any securities or other assets or promise to undertake or solicit business, and may not be relied upon in connection with any offer or sale of securities or other assets. Offers can only be made where lawful under, and in compliance with, applicable law. We make no representations that any information provided via the Site is accurate, current, reliable or complete. You are solely responsible for evaluating the risks and merits regarding the use of the Site and any services provided herein. We are not utilizing the Site to provide investment, legal, accounting, tax or other professional advice, and nothing on the Site is to be deemed a recommendation that you buy, sell or hold any security or other investment or that you pursue any investment style or strategy. If you would like investment, accounting, tax or legal advice, you should consult with your own advisors with respect to your individual circumstances and needs. Any transactions listed on the Site are included as representative transactions and are not necessarily reflective of overall performance.
3. Forward-Looking Statements and Past Performance. The contents of the Site may contain forward-looking statements that are based on beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates, and projections about the financial industry, the economy, the Company itself or its investments. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Furthermore, the Company undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Furthermore, past performance is not indicative of future results; no representation is being made that any investment will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those achieved in the past, or that significant losses will be avoided.
4. Offering Memoranda. Offering memoranda, including offers for interests in one or more funds, may be accessible through the Site. Such interests are offered exclusively to financially sophisticated, high net worth and institutional investors capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in a fund. Each offering memorandum, including any annexes and supplements thereto (collectively, the “Memorandum” or “Memoranda”) is prepared in connection with the private placement of interests offered thereby. No solicitation or offer to the public of or with respect to interests is intended to be made by or on behalf of the underlying fund. The Memoranda accessed through this Site do not constitute an offer of, or any solicitation, invitation by or on behalf of the fund to subscribe for or to purchase interests in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation. The Memoranda constitute an offer only to the offeree named on the cover page of the respective Memorandum (the “Offeree”) and only if delivery of the respective memorandum is properly authorized by the general partner of the underlying fund. The information in a Memorandum is furnished on a confidential basis exclusively for the Offeree’s use and retention. The Memorandum shall not be copied, reproduced or distributed to any person by the recipient or by any other unauthorized person at any time.
You acknowledge that any interests offered by an offering memorandum may be speculative, illiquid and involve substantial risk, and you agree that by investing in a fund offered through the Site you possess the financial ability and willingness to accept the risks and the lack of liquidity of interests which can only be transferred or redeemed on a limited basis. You acknowledge and agree the value of an investment in a fund can fall as well as rise; amounts permitted to be redeemed from the fund may be limited, and under certain circumstances, redemption of interests may be suspended by the fund at any time. You should refer to the Memoranda to understand their complete terms and conditions. You acknowledge and agree that the contents of the Memoranda should not be construed as investment, legal or tax advice. You are urged to seek independent investment, legal and tax advice concerning the consequences of investing in any fund.

The Site is controlled and/or operated from the United States, and is not intended to subject Company to non-U.S. jurisdiction or laws, except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement.
