Please read these Terms carefully. By visiting our Site or clicking "I agree" when registering for the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms, as they may be amended from time to time. Your continued use of the Site or Services following any update shall be deemed acceptance of any such amended or updated terms.

Account Registration



You may access the Site and certain Services without registration. To access or use additional features and Services, such as "Pro Content" or "Pitching Investors", you must register an account. Founder Runway offers different account designations to suit your needs and you can either register a basic account or a premium account. The account plan and designation under which you are registered will impact the Services available to you. You can change/update your account designation and other registration details at any time.



To complete the registration process, you must provide all registration information that we request, such as your first and last name, chosen professional designation, email address, password, company name, position, and country of residence. 



You represent and warrant that you have all the necessary rights and/or consents under applicable law to provide Founder Runway with any Personal Data of a third party and that you are fully and solely responsible for providing Founder Runway with email addresses only related to your Company.



Subject to applicable law, Founder Runway may refuse to open an account for any individual at its sole discretion.



You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. You are solely responsible for the security of your computer system and/or mobile device and all activity on your account, even if such activities were not committed by you. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Founder Runway will not be liable for any losses or damage arising from unauthorized use of your account. We do not police for and cannot guarantee that we will learn of or prevent any inappropriate use of the Services.



The Pitch. Premium Users who have registered under the designation of "Founders" or "Tech Employees" ("Participating Startups") will have the opportunity to submit presentations related to their companies to certain potential investors who have chosen to participate ("Participating Investors"). Upon Participating Startups selection of a Participating Investor, Founder Runway will share Participating Startup's registration details, including a link to its website and a link to a video pitch of its business with the relevant Participating Investor ("Introduction").



Participating Investors hereby consent to receive such Introductions. Participating Investors who are selected by a Participating Startup will receive an email containing a link to a third-party website hosting the Introduction. Following receipt of the Introduction from a Participating Startup, the Participating Investors may, but are not obligated to, request to contact the Participating Startup.

In addition, Founder Runway may suspend or terminate your account with immediate effect and may take any other corrective action it deems appropriate upon occurrence of any of the following events: (i) violation of the letter or spirit of these Terms, (ii) behavior that is fraudulent, harassing, abusive, illegal or harmful to other users, third parties, or the business interests of Founder Runway.

You may request termination of your account at any time by sending an email to info@founderrunway.com. Following such request, we shall close your account as soon as reasonably practicable. Suspension or termination of your account shall not affect your obligations under these Terms (including but not limited to ownership, indemnification, any representations and warranties made by you, and limitation of liability), which by their sense and context are intended to survive such suspension or termination.
