25.1 — Safe Harbor Statement
FoundersClick operates as an online service provider within the meaning of 17 U.S.C. § 512(k)(1)(B) and qualifies for the safe harbor protections provided thereunder. FoundersClick does not actively monitor all user-generated content but will respond expeditiously to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement received in accordance with this Section.

25.2 — DMCA Designated Copyright Agent

• DMCA Agent Registration Number: DMCA-1070908

25.3 — Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice (Notice of Claimed Infringement)
If you believe that content on the Platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a formal takedown notice to the Designated Copyright Agent. To be valid under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work(s) claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);
3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit FoundersClick to locate the material on the Platform (e.g., the specific URL);
4. Your contact information, including your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

25.4 — FoundersClick's Response to Valid Takedown Notices
Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, FoundersClick will, in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512:

• Expeditiously remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content;
• Notify the user who posted the content that their material has been removed or disabled; and
• Provide the user with a copy of the takedown notice and information regarding their right to submit a counter-notification.

25.5 — DMCA Counter-Notification Procedure
If you are a user whose content was removed or disabled in response to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a formal counter-notification to the Designated Copyright Agent. Your counter-notification must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the content that was removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before removal (e.g., the URL);
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material;
4. Your full name, mailing address, and telephone number; and
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which FoundersClick may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice or their agent.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, FoundersClick will notify the original complainant and may restore the removed content within 10–14 business days, unless the complainant files a court action seeking to restrain the user from infringing activity prior to that time.

25.6 — Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), it is FoundersClick's policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright or other intellectual property rights. FoundersClick reserves the right to define "repeat infringement" in its sole discretion and to take action without prior notice.

25.7 — No Obligation to Restore Content
FoundersClick has no obligation to restore content that has been removed in response to a valid DMCA takedown notice. Restoration is subject to the counter-notification process described in Section 25.5 and FoundersClick's sole discretion.

25.8 — User Content Responsibility & IP Warranty
You acknowledge, agree, and represent that you are solely and fully responsible for any content you upload, post, transmit, or otherwise make available through the platform. You represent and warrant that you possess all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to use and to authorize the platform to use such content, and that the content does not infringe, violate, misappropriate, or otherwise breach any intellectual property rights or other proprietary or personal rights of any third party, including but not limited to copyright, trademark, patent, or trade secret rights.

FoundersClick is a professional networking and business community platform. All members are expected to maintain a standard of respectful, lawful, and professional conduct at all times. This section defines what constitutes inappropriate content, the platform’s rights regarding such content, and the consequences members may face for violations.

26.1 — Definition of Inappropriate Content
Inappropriate content includes, but is not limited to, any material that:

• Is obscene, pornographic, sexually explicit, or offensive to reasonable community standards;
• Is hateful, abusive, threatening, harassing, defamatory, or discriminatory based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, nationality, or any other protected characteristic;
• Depicts or promotes violence, self-harm, terrorism, or illegal activity of any kind;
• Infringes upon any third party’s intellectual property rights, including but not limited to copyright, trademark, patent, or trade secret;
• Contains unsolicited advertising, spam, pyramid schemes, or fraudulent offers;
• Involves the unauthorized use of another person’s personal information or identity (impersonation);
• Contains malware, viruses, or any code designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to any system or data.

26.2 — Platform’s Right to Remove Content
FoundersClick reserves the absolute right, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, to:

• Remove, edit, restrict, or disable access to any content that it reasonably believes violates these Terms or our Community Standards;
• Suspend or permanently terminate any account found to be in violation of these Terms;
• Report any illegal content or activity to the appropriate law enforcement or regulatory authorities.

26.3 — Consequences for Policy Violations
Violations of our content policies may result in one or more of the following actions, applied at FoundersClick’s sole discretion based on the severity and frequency of the violation:

• First Violation: Immediate content removal and a formal written warning issued to the member;
• Repeated or Serious Violations: Temporary suspension of posting privileges or full account suspension;
• Severe Violations: Permanent account termination without refund of any paid subscriptions, credits, or fees;
• Legal Action: For violations involving illegal content, identity theft, fraud, or harassment, FoundersClick reserves the right to pursue civil or criminal legal remedies and to cooperate fully with law enforcement.

26.4 — Residual Enforcement (Catch-All)
Content not expressly prohibited under Section 26.1 may nonetheless be deemed inappropriate at FoundersClick’s sole discretion if such content undermines the integrity, safety, reputation, or lawful operation of the Platform. FoundersClick reserves the right to remove, restrict, or take action against any such content without prior notice.

26.5 — Content Takedown Procedures & Notice
FoundersClick may remove, restrict, disable, or otherwise take action against content it reasonably believes constitutes Inappropriate Content or violates these Terms. Where the Platform administrator deems it appropriate and feasible, FoundersClick may notify the affected member of the removal and the general reason for the action. However, FoundersClick is under no obligation to provide prior notice before removing content, particularly where:

• Immediate action is required to prevent harm;
• The content poses a legal, security, or regulatory risk; or
• Prior notice could compromise enforcement or an ongoing investigation.

26.6 — No Liability for Enforcement Actions
FoundersClick shall not be liable for any damages, losses, or consequences arising from content removal, account suspension, termination, or any other enforcement action taken in good faith under these Terms. Members acknowledge that enforcement decisions involve contextual judgment and that the Platform’s determinations may differ from the member’s own interpretation. No enforcement action taken in good faith shall give rise to any claim against FoundersClick.

26.7 — Platform Discretion & Final Decision Authority
FoundersClick retains the exclusive and final right to determine, in its sole discretion, what content is displayed, made available, restricted, or removed on the Platform. The Platform is not obligated to publish, host, maintain, or continue displaying any user-generated content. FoundersClick may remove or decline to display content at any time, with or without notice, regardless of whether such content is otherwise lawful or acceptable to the member. No action or inaction by the Platform shall be deemed to create any obligation to host or display any particular content, and access to the Platform does not confer any right or entitlement to have content published or maintained.

FoundersClick is committed to maintaining a safe, trustworthy, and professional community. We take all member complaints seriously and are dedicated to timely and fair resolution of reported issues.

27.1 — How to File a Complaint
Members may report content, users, or conduct that violates these Terms by using the Report button available on every post, profile, comment, or piece of content on the platform. Members may also contact our Trust & Safety team directly at support@foundersclick.com.

27.2 — Our 24-Hour Commitment
FoundersClick commits to the following response standards:

• All reports submitted through the platform will be reviewed by our Trust & Safety team within 24 hours of receipt;
• Both the reporting member and the reported member will be notified of the outcome and any action taken;
• In cases involving serious violations (e.g., threats of violence, illegal content, harassment), FoundersClick will take immediate preliminary protective action pending a full review;
• If additional information is required to complete a review, our team will contact the reporting member via their registered email address.

27.3 — Appeals Process
Members who believe a content removal or account action was made in error may submit a formal appeal. Appeals are subject to the following:

• Eligibility: An appeal may be submitted where content has been removed or account access or posting privileges have been restricted or suspended. Appeals are not available where enforcement action was taken pursuant to a legal or regulatory requirement, court order, or law enforcement request, or where the violation was repeated or egregious in nature.
• Submission: To submit an appeal, the member must provide a written explanation identifying the content or action being appealed, include any supporting information or context, and submit the appeal to support@foundersclick.com within 7 days of the enforcement action.
• Review & Determination: Appeals will be reviewed in good faith. FoundersClick may uphold, modify, or reverse the original enforcement action at its sole discretion. Decisions made following appeal review are final. FoundersClick does not guarantee reinstatement of content or restoration of account access.
• Editorial Discretion: FoundersClick exercises editorial and managerial discretion over its services and may curate, prioritise, demote, or remove content to protect its business, users, and legal interests. The exercise of such discretion does not constitute grounds for appeal.

27.4 — Good Faith Requirement
Members must submit complaints and reports in good faith and with honest belief that a violation has occurred. Submitting false, malicious, or bad-faith reports against other members may itself constitute a violation of these Terms and may result in disciplinary action against the reporting member.

27.5 — Third-Party Complaints
FoundersClick may act upon notices or complaints received from third parties, including but not limited to claims relating to intellectual property infringement, defamation, privacy violations, or unlawful conduct. Content may be removed or restricted pending investigation of such claims. FoundersClick is not obligated to mediate disputes between a member and a third-party complainant and retains sole discretion in determining the appropriate response.

27.6 — Non-Discrimination in Content Enforcement
FoundersClick does not remove, restrict, or moderate content based on a member’s personal characteristics, identity, viewpoints, or protected attributes. All enforcement actions are taken solely to apply these Terms, mitigate legal or reputational risk, and maintain a lawful, safe, and professional environment. Different enforcement outcomes may result from contextual evaluation, severity of the conduct, or risk assessment and do not constitute discrimination or unequal treatment.

27.7 — Preservation and Cooperation
FoundersClick may retain copies of removed content and associated user records for as long as reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce its rights under these Terms. FoundersClick may cooperate with lawful requests from regulatory authorities, law enforcement, or rights holders, including disclosing retained content and records where required or permitted by applicable law.

28.1 — Payments
All payments made on FoundersClick for premium memberships, services, courses, job postings, promotions, or other paid features are processed securely through our authorized payment processors. By completing a payment, you agree to the pricing and terms displayed at the time of purchase. All prices are listed in USD unless stated otherwise.

28.2 — Refund Policy
All payments made on FoundersClick are generally non-refundable. FoundersClick does not issue automatic refunds for any purchase, subscription, service, or feature accessed through the platform.

If you believe you have a valid reason for a refund — such as a duplicate charge, a technical error, or an exceptional circumstance — you may submit a refund request by emailing services@foundersclick.com with the following information:

• Your registered email address;
• The transaction ID or payment reference;
• A clear description of the reason for your refund request.

Our team will review your request, verify the details, and respond to you within 5 business days. Submission of a refund request does not guarantee approval. All refund decisions are made at the sole discretion of FoundersClick.

28.3 — Planned Downtime
FoundersClick strives to maintain high platform availability. When planned maintenance is required, we will provide at least 24 hours’ advance notice via platform announcements and/or email to registered members. Planned maintenance windows will be scheduled during off-peak hours wherever possible.

28.4 — Unplanned Downtime
In the event of unexpected outages or technical failures, FoundersClick will work to restore service as quickly as reasonably possible. Status updates will be communicated through our official channels. FoundersClick shall not be liable for any losses, damages, or missed opportunities resulting from unplanned downtime, including but not limited to outages caused by third-party infrastructure providers, cyberattacks, or force majeure events.

28.5 — Service Credit for Extended Downtime
Paid subscribers who experience platform unavailability exceeding 24 continuous hours due to causes within FoundersClick’s reasonable control may be eligible for a pro-rated service credit or an equivalent extension of service benefits for the affected duration, applied to the next billing cycle or subscription period. Service credits or extensions will not be provided for outages lasting less than 24 hours, outages caused by third-party services, member-side connectivity issues, scheduled maintenance, or events beyond FoundersClick’s reasonable control.

FoundersClick facilitates connections between members seeking and offering professional services. When a member engages another member as a service provider for paid or agreed-upon services, the following terms apply.

29.1 — Service Provider Obligations
Members offering services through the platform are expected to:

• Deliver agreed-upon services within the timelines and scope communicated to the engaging member;
• Communicate promptly and professionally regarding any delays, changes, or issues that may affect delivery;
• Maintain the professional standards and qualifications represented in their profile.

29.2 — Reporting Non-Delivery
If a service provider fails to deliver a paid or agreed-upon service without a legitimate reason, the engaging member may file a formal complaint via support@foundersclick.com or using the Report function on the service provider’s profile or relevant content. Complaints will be reviewed in accordance with our 24-hour response commitment set out in Section 27.

29.3 — Platform Mediation
FoundersClick will endeavour to mediate disputes between members in good faith. However, FoundersClick is not a party to any agreement made between members and bears no legal or financial liability for the non-delivery, partial delivery, or poor delivery of services by any independent member or third party on the platform.

29.4 — Consequences for Repeated Non-Delivery
Service providers who are subject to multiple substantiated complaints of non-delivery or professional negligence may face the following actions at FoundersClick’s discretion:

• Formal warning and requirement to respond to outstanding obligations;
• Temporary restriction of service listing or profile visibility;
• Permanent suspension or termination of account.

29.5 — Member Responsibility
Members are strongly encouraged to exercise due diligence before engaging any service provider, including reviewing their profile, ratings, and history on the platform. FoundersClick does not verify credentials or guarantee outcomes of any service arrangement made between members.

Effective January 1, 2026

This California Compliance Addendum (“California Addendum”) supplements and forms part of FoundersClick’s Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, and Content Moderation Policy (collectively, the “Terms”). This Addendum applies to users who access or use the Platform from California or whose content or data is subject to California law. In the event of a conflict between this Addendum and the Terms, this Addendum shall govern with respect to California users.

30.1 — Platform Discretion and Editorial Authority
FoundersClick retains the exclusive and final discretion to determine what content is hosted, displayed, restricted, demoted, labelled, or removed from the Platform in accordance with its Terms and applicable law. Nothing in this Addendum shall be interpreted to require the Platform to host or display any specific content, or to limit the Platform’s rights under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act or similar intermediary protections. Content moderation decisions are exercised as part of the Platform’s lawful editorial and managerial discretion.

30.2 — Non-Discriminatory Enforcement
FoundersClick does not moderate, remove, or restrict content based on a user’s protected characteristics, identity, or viewpoint. Enforcement actions are taken solely to apply the Platform’s Inappropriate Content standards, mitigate risk, and maintain a lawful and professional environment. Different enforcement outcomes may result from contextual evaluation, severity, or risk assessment and do not constitute discrimination or unequal treatment.

30.3 — Artificial Intelligence and Synthetic Content
Consistent with California’s Artificial Intelligence Transparency Act (SB 942) and related legislation:

• The Platform may label, restrict, or remove content that is generated, altered, or manipulated using artificial intelligence where such content is misleading, deceptive, unlawful, or violates Platform policies;
• Users remain solely responsible for any AI-assisted or AI-generated content they post, including compliance with applicable disclosure requirements and applicable law; and
• The Platform may implement detection, labelling, or disclosure mechanisms for AI-generated media and may rely on such mechanisms when making content moderation decisions.

30.4 — Content Takedown and Appeals (California)
The Platform may remove or restrict content without prior notice where immediate action is required, including to prevent harm, comply with legal obligations, or protect Platform integrity or users. Where notice is feasible, users may submit an appeal in accordance with the Platform’s Appeals Process set out in Section 27.3. Appeals are reviewed in good faith; however, the Platform’s decision after review is final. California law does not require reinstatement of removed content, and nothing in this Addendum creates a right to publication or continued hosting.

30.5 — User Responsibility and Liability
Users acknowledge and agree that:

• They are solely responsible for all content they submit, including AI-generated or AI-assisted content;
• They bear all consequences arising from violations of the Platform’s content requirements; and
• They may be subject to legal, regulatory, civil, or criminal liability for unlawful or harmful content.

The Platform shall not be liable for user-generated content or for enforcement actions taken in good faith. This allocation of responsibility is consistent with California law clarifying that liability for AI-related or automated harms remains with human actors (AB 316).

30.6 — Privacy and Automated Decision-Making
In compliance with updated California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) regulations effective January 1, 2026:

• The Platform may use automated systems to assist with content moderation, ranking, or enforcement;
• Where required by applicable law, users may be provided notice regarding automated decision-making systems and an opportunity for human review; and
• The Platform may conduct risk assessments and audits related to content systems involving personal data.

30.7 — Account Termination and Deletion (California)
Users may request account deletion in accordance with applicable California law (AB 656). However:

• Content enforcement actions may be taken before or after a deletion request is submitted;
• The Platform may retain records as necessary for legal compliance, dispute resolution, or enforcement of its rights; and
• Deletion of an account does not negate prior violations or associated consequences.

30.8 — Data Breach Notification
In accordance with California law (SB 446), FoundersClick will notify affected California residents within 30 days of discovering a data breach involving their personal information, and will provide notification to the California Attorney General as required by applicable law.

30.9 — Cooperation with Authorities
The Platform may preserve and disclose content or user records where required by law or in response to valid legal requests from California regulators or law enforcement authorities.

30.10 — No Waiver
Failure to enforce any provision of the Terms or this California Addendum shall not constitute a waiver of the Platform’s rights to enforce such provision at a later time.

30.11 — Global Privacy Control and Opt-Out Preference Signals (AB 3048)
Effective January 1, 2026, California law (AB 3048) requires businesses to honor opt-out preference signals transmitted by a consumer’s browser or device, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. FoundersClick complies with this requirement as follows:

• If a California user’s browser transmits a recognized opt-out preference signal (such as GPC), FoundersClick will treat this as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of that user’s personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes;
• Users may also manually submit an opt-out request at any time by contacting services@foundersclick.com with the subject line “Opt-Out Request — Data Sale/Sharing”; and
• Honoring an opt-out signal will not result in denial of services or different treatment, as required by California law.

30.12 — Neural and Biometric Data (SB 1223)
Effective January 1, 2026, California law (SB 1223) classifies “neural data” — information generated by measuring or inferring activity of a user’s nervous system or brain — as sensitive personal information under the CCPA. FoundersClick does not intentionally collect neural data. However, to the extent any Platform features (including but not limited to profile picture processing, image analysis, or AI-assisted features) incidentally process data that may be classified as biometric or neural under California law:

• Such data is treated as sensitive personal information and is subject to the heightened protections applicable to sensitive PI under the CCPA/CPRA;
• Users have the right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information; and
• FoundersClick will not sell or share neural or biometric data with third parties without explicit user consent.

30.13 — AI Training Data and Transparency (AB 1008 & AB 2013)
Effective January 1, 2026, California law clarifies that the CCPA applies to personal information contained in or used to train artificial intelligence systems (AB 1008). Additionally, AB 2013 requires providers of AI systems deployed in California to publish documentation regarding training data sources. FoundersClick complies as follows:

• California residents have the right to request disclosure of whether their personal information was used to train any AI or automated decision-making system operated by or on behalf of FoundersClick, and to request deletion of their personal information from such training datasets where technically feasible;
• To the extent FoundersClick deploys AI or automated systems that process personal information of California users, such systems are subject to the same rights and obligations as other processing activities under the CCPA/CPRA; and
• FoundersClick will maintain and make available, upon request, documentation identifying the general categories of data used in any AI or automated content moderation or ranking systems, consistent with AB 2013 transparency requirements.

30.14 — Cybersecurity Audit and Risk Assessment (CPPA Regulations)
Pursuant to regulations issued by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) under the CPRA, FoundersClick is committed to maintaining appropriate cybersecurity practices for the personal information it processes. To the extent required by applicable CPPA regulations:

• FoundersClick conducts or arranges for regular cybersecurity audits of systems that process significant volumes of California residents’ personal information;
• FoundersClick performs documented risk assessments prior to implementing processing activities that involve automated decision-making, profiling, or processing of sensitive personal information that may present significant risk to California residents; and
• Records of such audits and risk assessments are maintained as required by the CPPA and may be submitted to the Agency upon request or as required by law.

By accessing or using FoundersClick from California, users acknowledge that content is moderated in accordance with Platform policies and applicable California law, and that the Platform retains final discretion over what content is displayed.
