Terms of Service

Updated January 5, 2020

Welcome to PhysicianFunders.com's technology platform. The PhysicianFunders.com service and network (collectively, the “Service”) are operated by PhysicianFunders.com, a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”). By accessing or using our web site at www.PhysicianFunders.com, including any subdomain thereof (the “Site”), you (the “User”) signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these terms of service (“Terms of Service”), regardless of whether you are a registered member of the Service.

We are a technology platform that permits Business Owners (as defined below) and certain other persons to independently connect with issuers of financial lending services relating to business loans, lines of credit and funding. These Terms of Service govern your access and use of the Site and all content, services and/or products provided through the Site (collectively, the “Service”). Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using the Service on the Site. If you violate any of these Terms of Service (which include by reference PhysicianFunders.com's Privacy Policy), or otherwise violate an agreement between you and us, the Company may terminate your membership, delete your profile and any content or information that you have posted on the Site and/or prohibit you from using or accessing the Service or the Site (or any portion, aspect or feature of the Service or the Site), at any time in its sole discretion, with or without notice.

In addition to these Terms of Service, you may enter into other agreements with us or others that will govern your use of the Service or related services offered by us or others. If there is any contradiction between these Terms of Service and another agreement you enter into applicable to specific aspects of the Service, the other agreement shall take precedence in relation to the specific aspects of the Service to which it applies. As used herein, “Users” means anyone who accesses and/or uses the Site.

Changes to these Terms of Service

We may make changes to these Terms of Service from time to time. If we do this, we will post the changed Terms of Service on the Site and will indicate at the top of this page the date the Terms of Service were last revised. You understand and agree that your continued use of the Service or the Site after we have made any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service.

Eligibility

This Site is intended solely for Users who are eighteen (18) years of age or older, and any registration by, use of or access to the Site by anyone under 18 is unauthorized, unlicensed and in violation of these Terms of Service. By using the Service or the Site, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older and that you agree to and abide by all of the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service. If you violate any of these Terms of Use, or otherwise violate an agreement between you and us, or for any other reason, the Company may terminate your membership, delete your profile and any content or information that you have posted on the Site and/or prohibit you from using or accessing the Service or the Site (or any portion, aspect or feature of the Service or the Site), at any time in its sole discretion, with or without notice, including without limitation if it believes that you are under 18.

Governing Law; Arbitration

By visiting or using the Site and/or the Service, you agree that the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any principles of conflict of laws that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction, will govern these Terms of Service. By agreeing to the Terms and using the Website and the Service, you agree to submit to personal jurisdiction in Delaware for all purposes, and you agree to waive, to maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a trial by jury for any matter.

The arbitration will be conducted in the English language before a single arbitrator in Delaware. Such arbitration must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either PhysicianFunders.com or you may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief without breach of this arbitration provision.

Other

If any provision of these Terms of Service is held invalid, the remainder of these Terms of Service shall continue in full force and effect. If any provision of these Terms of Service shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Service and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
