Terms of Service

Welcome to Startup Foundry. These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of our website, our application process, and the Startup Foundry accelerator program. By accessing our website or applying to or participating in our program, you agree to these terms.

1. About Us

Startup Foundry operates a virtual accelerator program for early-stage founders. We provide programming, mentorship, partner resources, and related services as described on our website.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to apply to or participate in our program. By applying, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you have the authority to enter into these terms on behalf of yourself or the company you represent.

3. Applications and Admissions

Submitting an application does not guarantee admission. We review applications using our own criteria and may accept or decline any application at our discretion. Accepted founders will receive a payment link by email, and a spot in the program is confirmed only after payment is received.

4. Program Fees and Payment

The program fee is communicated to accepted founders at the time of admission. Payment is processed through Stripe, our third-party payment provider. By paying, you authorize us and Stripe to charge the applicable fee.

5. Refunds

Our refund terms are described in our Refund Policy, which forms part of these terms.

6. Program Participation

We expect participants to engage in good faith with the program, our mentors, our partners, and other founders. We reserve the right to remove any participant who is disruptive, abusive, or in violation of these terms, without refund.

7. Intellectual Property

You retain all rights to your own business, ideas, and materials. Content we provide as part of the program, including curriculum, written materials, and recordings, remains our property or that of our partners and is provided for your use during the program only. You may not redistribute or resell our materials.

8. Partner Resources and Perks

We may offer access to third-party tools, credits, and perks through our partners. These are provided by the partners under their own terms, and we do not control or guarantee their availability, value, or continued offering.

9. No Guarantee of Results

We provide programming and support in good faith. We do not guarantee funding, investment, revenue, or any specific business outcome from your participation.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Startup Foundry is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of our website or participation in our program. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will post the updated version on our website with a revised date. Continued use of our website or program after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
