Terms of Use.

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between you and LooksMaxx VC, a Nevada limited liability company (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your access to and use of looksmaxxvc.com, www.looksmaxxvc.com, guess.looksmaxxvc.com, terms.looksmaxxvc.com, their pages and subdomains, and any related features, forms, content, or services we make available (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge these Terms and our Privacy Policy. Where we present an unchecked control asking you to agree, clicking or checking that control and continuing constitutes your electronic signature and acceptance. If you do not agree, do not use the Services or submit information.

Additional written terms may apply to a specific investment, program, transaction, or feature. If those terms conflict with these Terms, the more specific terms control for that subject. A private placement memorandum, subscription agreement, side letter, nondisclosure agreement, or other separately signed instrument is not modified by these Terms unless it expressly says so.

The Services are intended only for people who are at least 18 years old and legally able to enter a binding contract. You may not use the Services if applicable law prohibits you from doing so. We do not knowingly invite or accept applications from minors.

If you use the Services for a company or another organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization. In that case, “you” includes both you and the organization. You are responsible for ensuring that information you submit is accurate, current, lawful, and within your authority to provide.

The Services combine informational material, experimental interfaces, satire, parody, fictional examples, and entertainment. Branding, portfolio examples, scoring language, deal figures, composite images, testimonials, statistics, and investment scenarios may be fictional, illustrative, exaggerated, or satirical unless we expressly identify them as verified in a separate written disclosure.

Satire does not state the Company's actual investment criteria. Any real investment review is conducted separately, may consider lawful commercial factors, and is not determined by a Guess response, crowd vote, physical appearance score, protected characteristic, or other entertainment output.

The Services do not perform facial recognition, biometric identification, medical diagnosis, ancestry analysis, protected-trait inference, citizenship analysis, or immigration-status verification. We will provide a new notice and obtain any consent required by law before materially changing those practices.

Guess may display a real person's name, company, role, batch, source link, and portrait beside optional category choices and a 1–10 poll scale. The current experience does not generate or verify a correct answer; percentages come only from submitted selections. A displayed person, company, data source, accelerator, or other third party does not necessarily sponsor, endorse, participate in, or approve the Services.

Your selections may be stored with a pseudonymous browser session identifier and added to public crowd percentages or batch-level aggregates. Public aggregates do not identify an individual voter. You receive no ownership interest or right to payment from a game selection or aggregate.

You must not use, present, or rely on any Guess output or crowd result:

• as a factual statement about a displayed person;
• to make or support a decision about employment, housing, education, credit, lending, insurance, healthcare, immigration, eligibility, investment, or another consequential opportunity;
• to harass, shame, threaten, discriminate against, profile, or target a person; or
• as a scientific, biometric, demographic, aesthetic, psychological, medical, or professional assessment.

Nothing in the Services is an offer to sell, solicitation of an offer to buy, recommendation, endorsement, commitment, or arrangement concerning a security, investment product, advisory service, or transaction. No content is intended to form the basis of an investment decision or satisfy any securities-law disclosure duty.

Through the Services, the Company is not acting as your broker-dealer, investment adviser, crowdfunding intermediary, placement agent, attorney, accountant, tax adviser, fiduciary, partner, joint venturer, or agent. Accessing the Services, communicating with us, or submitting a pitch creates none of those relationships. Any actual investment is subject to separate diligence, approvals, definitive documents, eligibility requirements, and applicable law.

An application or pitch is an unsolicited submission. We have no obligation to review it, respond, provide feedback, preserve availability, conduct diligence, negotiate, or invest. A confirmation message only confirms technical receipt; it is not an approval, assessment result, promise, term sheet, or commitment.

No confidentiality

Unless we have signed a separate nondisclosure agreement that expressly covers your submission, your submission is not confidential and does not create a duty of confidence. Do not submit trade secrets, source code, private keys, passwords, nonpublic regulated data, medical records, government identifiers, financial account credentials, or information you are not authorized to disclose.

Independent and competing work

We may already know, finance, review, or later encounter ideas, companies, technologies, strategies, or materials that resemble your submission. Subject to applicable law and any separate signed agreement, your submission does not restrict us from evaluating, investing in, working with, or developing competing or similar opportunities, and mere similarity does not establish copying or misuse.

Your representations

By submitting an application, you represent and warrant that:

• the information is accurate and not misleading in any material respect;
• you own the submission or have all permissions needed to submit and permit our review;
• every person depicted is an adult, the image is of you unless clearly disclosed otherwise, and each depicted person authorized the submission and described use;
• the submission does not violate privacy, publicity, copyright, trademark, confidentiality, contract, employment, or other rights; and
• you will not submit unlawful, deceptive, malicious, or harmful material.

If you voluntarily provide a photo link, image, self-selected tier, or related appearance information, you request that we access and review that material for the application evaluation described at the point of collection. You retain ownership of your images. You grant only the limited processing permission described below and in our Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice.

We do not use application photos to recognize your identity through automated facial recognition, build a face-geometry identifier template, infer race or another protected trait, identify a medical or health condition, train a general-purpose artificial intelligence model, advertise to you, or publicly display your application. Do not include medical, genetic, health, cosmetic-procedure, or other unrelated sensitive information in a photo link or application.

A photo-hosting link may disclose information to the service that hosts it when the link is opened. You are responsible for choosing an appropriate host, permissions, and link settings. Do not submit an expiring credential, private access token, or link whose disclosure would expose unrelated files.

Application materials

You grant the Company and its service providers a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free license, for as long as reasonably necessary for the disclosed application purpose, to receive, host, secure, copy internally, transmit to authorized reviewers, and review your application materials. This license does not permit public display, advertising use, sale, facial-recognition development, or general-purpose AI training. It ends when the materials are deleted, except for retained consent, legal, backup, or compliance records permitted by law.

Feedback

If you voluntarily send product suggestions or feedback outside a public consumer review, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, nonexclusive, irrevocable, sublicensable, transferable, royalty-free license to use and incorporate that feedback without payment or attribution. This paragraph does not transfer ownership of an application, restrict an honest consumer review, or waive rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

You may use the Services only lawfully and within the license these Terms grant. You may not:

• scrape, crawl, spider, index, bulk-download, mirror, archive, or systematically collect profiles, photos, game results, endpoints, or other content without prior written permission;
• use any profile, photo, output, or metadata to create a face-recognition system, biometric template, identity graph, demographic dataset, training dataset, model, benchmark, watchlist, or dossier;
• copy, republish, manipulate, label, shame, dox, harass, threaten, defame, impersonate, or unlawfully discriminate against a displayed person or any other person;
• assert or imply that a poll label, score, composite, or crowd result is factual, verified, scientific, or endorsed by a displayed person or third party;
• automate gameplay, manufacture votes, coordinate manipulation, evade rate limits, reverse engineer assignments, probe nonpublic endpoints, bypass access controls, or interfere with integrity, availability, or security;
• upload malware, exploit code, unlawful content, or material that violates another person's privacy, publicity, intellectual-property, contractual, or other rights;
• falsely imply affiliation with or endorsement by the Company, a displayed person, Y Combinator, or another source; or
• use the Services in violation of export controls, sanctions, or other applicable law.

We may investigate suspected misuse, preserve relevant evidence, restrict access, and cooperate with lawful requests. You may report harmful use to looksmaxxvc@gmail.com.

Profile facts and portraits may originate from a person who authorized inclusion, a licensor, a public directory, or another identified source. Source links are supplied for context and do not establish endorsement. A license to an image or database record does not necessarily mean the depicted person endorses our game, labels, or Company.

If you are depicted, represent a depicted person, or believe content is inaccurate, unauthorized, unsafe, or violates privacy, publicity, copyright, or another right, email looksmaxxvc@gmail.com with the page URL, the material at issue, the basis for the request, your relationship to the material, and a reliable way to contact you. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify identity or authority. We may disable material while reviewing a request, but we do not promise a particular outcome where continued use is lawful.

This process is not a formal Digital Millennium Copyright Act agent notice, and we do not represent that the Company has registered a designated DMCA agent.

The Services—including their software, design, text, arrangement, poll and aggregation logic, branding, and Company-created content—are owned by the Company or its licensors and protected by intellectual-property and other laws. Third-party names, portraits, marks, and content remain the property of their respective owners.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable license to access and use the Services for your own personal, noncommercial entertainment or to submit your own company application. No implied license is granted. You may not remove notices, frame the Services, use our marks, or exploit content beyond this license without prior written permission.

The Services may link to or depend on third-party sites, hosting, databases, directories, social networks, or storage providers. We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, accuracy, data practices, or terms. A link is not an endorsement. Your use of a third party is governed by that party's terms and privacy notice, and you assume the risk of visiting it.

The Services are not investment, financial, legal, tax, accounting, medical, mental health, genetic, biometric, immigration, employment, beauty, or other professional advice. Do not act or refrain from acting based on a score, label, profile, article, parody statement, crowd result, or application message. Consult a qualified independent professional for advice appropriate to your situation.

You are solely responsible for evaluating information, preserving backups, protecting devices and credentials, and deciding whether to submit material. Past, hypothetical, fictional, or illustrative outcomes do not predict future performance or an investment decision.

We may add, modify, restrict, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time, with or without notice, including a profile, game pool, score, aggregate, application form, or feature. We may correct errors, remove material, invalidate manipulated selections, and limit access to protect people, rights, security, integrity, legal compliance, or the Services.

We are not obligated to preserve a submission, result, score, link, or other content for you. Service changes do not alter rights or obligations in a separately signed agreement.

The Company and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, licensors, and service providers (collectively, the “Company Parties”) disclaim all express, implied, and statutory warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, noninfringement, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, availability, security, and warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

The Company Parties do not warrant that the Services, content, profiles, source materials, assignments, aggregates, or communications are accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, free of harmful components, or suitable for any purpose; that a defect will be corrected; or that an application will be received, reviewed, answered, or funded. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so these exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Company Party will be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, consequential, reliance, or punitive damages; loss of profits, revenue, opportunity, goodwill, reputation, use, or data; business interruption; cost of substitute services; or claims arising from third-party content, unauthorized access, or your reliance on or misuse of the Services, even if advised that such damages were possible.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the aggregate liability of all Company Parties for all claims arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms will not exceed the greater of US $100 or the amount you paid the Company through the Services during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

You release the Company Parties from claims arising from your prohibited reliance on a Guess output, your interactions with a third party, or material you submitted without sufficient rights, except to the extent a release is prohibited by law. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code section 1542 only for claims within this release and only to the extent you may lawfully do so, acknowledging that unknown claims may otherwise affect a release.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or personal injury where applicable law prohibits a limitation. The limitations apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company Parties from third-party claims, damages, judgments, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from or relating to: (a) your submission; (b) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; (c) your misuse of the Services or an output; or (d) your infringement or violation of another person's privacy, publicity, intellectual-property, contractual, or other right.

We may control the defense and settlement of an indemnified matter, and you will reasonably cooperate. We will not settle in a way that admits your fault or imposes a nonmonetary obligation on you without your consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. This section does not require a consumer to indemnify a Company Party for that party's own unlawful conduct where such indemnification is prohibited.

Informal resolution first

Before filing a claim, you and the Company agree to send a written notice describing the claimant, facts, requested relief, and contact information to looksmaxxvc@gmail.com with the subject “Notice of Dispute.” The receiving party will have 30 days to try in good faith to resolve the dispute. Applicable limitation periods are tolled during that 30-day period.

Individual arbitration

If you separately and affirmatively authorized this Section and the dispute is not resolved informally, any claim arising out of or relating to the Services, these Terms, or the relationship between you and the Company will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this agreement. The arbitrator may award the same individual remedies a court could award and will issue a reasoned written decision. Consumer fees will be allocated as required by the applicable rules and law.

Arbitration may occur by video, telephone, documents, or in person as the rules and arbitrator permit. You may bring an eligible individual claim in small-claims court. A party may seek temporary or emergency relief in court to protect intellectual property, confidential information, people, or system security pending arbitration. Nonwaivable rights to seek public injunctive relief remain available as required by law.

Class, representative, and jury waiver

Where arbitration applies, you and the Company agree to proceed only on an individual basis. Neither party may bring, join, or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, private-attorney-general, or representative proceeding, and the arbitrator may not combine claims or award relief for anyone other than the individual claimant. If a final decision holds a particular part of this waiver unenforceable for a particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy will be severed and heard in court after all arbitrable matters conclude. To the extent a dispute proceeds in court, each party knowingly waives a jury trial where lawful.

Thirty-day arbitration opt-out

Even after separate authorization, you may opt out of arbitration by emailing looksmaxxvc@gmail.com within 30 days after first authorizing it. Include your full name, the email used for your submission, and a clear statement that you opt out. Opting out will not affect other Terms or result in retaliation. An opt-out applies only to this arbitration provision, not a separately signed agreement.

Nevada law governs these Terms and nonarbitrable disputes, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 18. Mandatory consumer protections of your home jurisdiction remain available where they cannot be waived.

If Section 18 does not apply or a dispute is not arbitrable, you and the Company consent to exclusive jurisdiction in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located in Nevada, subject to any nonwaivable right to bring a claim elsewhere. Each party waives objections based on personal jurisdiction, venue, or inconvenient forum to the extent lawful.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, a claim must be filed within one year after the claimant knew or reasonably should have known of the facts giving rise to it, or it is permanently barred. This contractual period does not shorten a period that applicable law prohibits the parties from shortening.

We may update these Terms prospectively. The effective date at the top identifies the current version. We will post the revised Terms and, when reasonably appropriate, provide a conspicuous notice through the Services. Material changes take effect on the date in that notice. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.

We will request renewed affirmative agreement when required by law. We will not make a new arbitration requirement retroactive to a dispute of which we had actual notice before the change, and materially expanded photo, sensitive-data, or consumer-health processing will be separately disclosed and consented to when required.

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created risk, infringed rights, threatened a person or system, or if suspension is needed for legal compliance or discontinuation. Termination does not require us to delete information we must or may retain under the Privacy Policy or applicable law.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including those addressing ownership, submission permissions, feedback, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, disputes, governing law, and general terms.

These Terms and incorporated notices are the entire agreement about the Services, except for a separately signed agreement. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remainder will remain effective, subject to the specific severance rule in Section 18. A failure to enforce is not a waiver.

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, operation of law, or transfer of the Services. No person other than the parties and indemnified Company Parties is an intended beneficiary. Headings are for convenience; “including”means “including without limitation.”

Neither party is liable for delay caused by events beyond reasonable control, except for payment or data-protection obligations that cannot lawfully be excused. Electronic records, notices, checkboxes, and signatures satisfy writing requirements to the extent permitted by law.

Questions, legal notices, content concerns, takedown requests, and informal dispute notices may be sent to looksmaxxvc@gmail.com. Use a descriptive subject line and include enough information for us to identify and respond to the issue. Privacy and consumer-health requests are handled under the procedures in the applicable notice.

Effective date: August 27, 2026
