Nothing in these Terms shall obligate PitchDeckHost.com to monitor User Content or actively investigate user activity. Our failure to remove or investigate any content shall not constitute approval of that content or create any legal responsibility or liability on the part of PitchDeckHost.com. PitchDeckHost.com reserves the right to cooperate with law enforcement agencies and governmental authorities when required by law or when we reasonably believe such cooperation is appropriate. 6. Ownership of Content and Intellectual Property PitchDeckHost.com does not claim ownership of any User Content uploaded to the Service. As between you and PitchDeckHost.com, you retain all ownership rights, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property rights that you possess in your User Content. By uploading User Content to the Service, you grant PitchDeckHost.com a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, revocable license solely to the extent necessary to: • Receive and store uploaded files. • Process uploaded documents into supported viewing formats. • Create temporary or permanent derivative files required for document conversion, rendering, indexing, optimization, caching, backup, or display. • Display Hosted Documents to individuals who have been provided with the applicable Access Code (referred to within the Service as a "Pitchdeck Code"). • Maintain, improve, secure, troubleshoot, and operate the Service. This license exists solely for the purpose of operating the Service and terminates when your User Content is permanently removed from our systems, except to the extent copies must be retained for backup, disaster recovery, legal compliance, security investigations, or other legitimate operational purposes. PitchDeckHost.com does not acquire any ownership interest in your User Content by virtue of this license. You represent and warrant that you possess all rights necessary to grant the foregoing license. If any third party asserts that your User Content infringes upon its intellectual property or other legal rights, you acknowledge that you—not PitchDeckHost.com—are solely responsible for responding to and resolving such claims. PitchDeckHost.com reserves the right to remove, disable access to, or restrict any User Content that we reasonably believe infringes upon the rights of another person or entity or otherwise violates these Terms or applicable law. Nothing in these Terms obligates PitchDeckHost.com to monitor User Content for potential infringement or to determine the ownership or originality of any uploaded material. Except for User Content uploaded by users, all software, source code, designs, logos, trademarks, graphics, databases, website layouts, text, and other materials comprising the Service are the property of PitchDeckHost.com or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. No rights in such materials are granted except as expressly provided in these Terms. 7. Access Codes ("Pitchdeck Codes") To facilitate the sharing of Hosted Documents, PitchDeckHost.com allows users to assign a unique access code to individual Hosted Documents. Within the Service, these access codes are referred to as "Pitchdeck Codes." A Pitchdeck Code functions solely as a mechanism for identifying and accessing a Hosted Document. A Pitchdeck Code is not intended to serve as a substitute for comprehensive security measures, encryption, confidentiality agreements, nondisclosure agreements, digital rights management, or any other legal or technical protection. Each user is solely responsible for: • Selecting an appropriate Pitchdeck Code. • Maintaining the confidentiality of each Pitchdeck Code. • Determining the individuals or organizations with whom a Pitchdeck Code is shared. • Monitoring and managing the distribution of Pitchdeck Codes. • Changing a Pitchdeck Code whenever the user believes it may have been disclosed to an unintended recipient. Any person who possesses a valid Pitchdeck Code may be able to access the corresponding Hosted Document. Users acknowledge that PitchDeckHost.com generally cannot determine whether an individual accessing a Hosted Document using a valid Pitchdeck Code is the intended recipient. Users assume all risks associated with voluntarily sharing Pitchdeck Codes, including but not limited to unauthorized viewing, downloading, copying, photographing, printing, recording, summarizing, distributing, disclosing, reproducing, modifying, publishing, or otherwise using information contained within Hosted Documents. PitchDeckHost.com does not monitor communications between users and recipients of Pitchdeck Codes and has no control over how recipients use, store, distribute, or protect Hosted Documents after access has been granted. Users should not upload or share any document through the Service unless they are willing to accept the inherent risks associated with electronic document sharing over the Internet. PitchDeckHost.com makes no representation or warranty that the use of Pitchdeck Codes will prevent unauthorized disclosure, copying, misappropriation, theft of ideas, loss of confidentiality, or infringement of intellectual property rights. Nothing in the Service should be interpreted as guaranteeing confidentiality, exclusivity, trade secret protection, nondisclosure protection, patent rights, copyright protection, or any other legal protection with respect to information contained within Hosted Documents. Users are solely responsible for determining whether additional legal protections, including but not limited to nondisclosure agreements (NDAs), confidentiality agreements, patent filings, copyright registrations, trademark registrations, or other legal measures, are appropriate before sharing a Hosted Document with any third party. PitchDeckHost.com reserves the right to modify, regenerate, invalidate, restrict, suspend, or discontinue the use of Pitchdeck Codes or the methods by which Hosted Documents are accessed at any time, with or without notice, as part of the ongoing operation, maintenance, improvement, or security of the Service. 8. Confidentiality and Disclosure Risks PitchDeckHost.com is a document-hosting and sharing platform. Users acknowledge and agree that the primary purpose of the Service is to facilitate the electronic sharing of Hosted Documents with recipients selected by the user. Each user is solely responsible for deciding: • Whether a document should be uploaded to the Service. • Whether a document contains confidential, proprietary, sensitive, trade secret, or otherwise valuable information. • Whether a Hosted Document should be shared with any person or entity. • Which individuals or organizations should receive a Pitchdeck Code. • Whether additional legal or contractual protections, including nondisclosure agreements ("NDAs"), confidentiality agreements, licensing agreements, or other protective measures, should be obtained before sharing a Hosted Document. PitchDeckHost.com does not review, evaluate, or determine whether a document contains confidential information, trade secrets, proprietary business information, intellectual property, inventions, creative works, or other valuable material. Users acknowledge that any recipient who is provided with a valid Pitchdeck Code may be able to view, download, print, copy, photograph, summarize, reproduce, distribute, disclose, or otherwise use information contained within a Hosted Document. PitchDeckHost.com has no practical ability and assumes no obligation to monitor, supervise, investigate, verify, or control the actions of individuals who receive access to Hosted Documents through a Pitchdeck Code. Accordingly, PitchDeckHost.com shall not be responsible or liable for any actual or alleged: • Misappropriation of ideas. • Theft of business concepts. • Theft or misuse of trade secrets. • Loss of confidentiality. • Unauthorized disclosure of proprietary information. • Copyright infringement by third parties. • Trademark infringement by third parties. • Patent disputes. • Breach of confidentiality by recipients. • Business competition arising from disclosed information. • Loss of investment opportunities. • Loss of commercial advantage. • Loss of prospective business relationships. • Any other claim arising from the disclosure, use, misuse, or alleged misuse of information contained within a Hosted Document after it has been shared by the user. Users acknowledge that ideas, concepts, proposals, business plans, creative materials, inventions, strategies, and other information contained within Hosted Documents may have value independent of the Service, and users are solely responsible for determining appropriate legal protections before disclosure. PitchDeckHost.com does not guarantee, and shall not be responsible for guaranteeing, that any information uploaded or shared through the Service will remain confidential, commercially protected, undisclosed, or free from unauthorized use by third parties. Users acknowledge that PitchDeckHost.com is not a party to any business relationship, investment discussion, licensing negotiation, employment opportunity, acquisition transaction, joint venture, consulting arrangement, or other relationship that may arise from or relate to the sharing of a Hosted Document. PitchDeckHost.com does not investigate, verify, monitor, supervise, or endorse any recipient of a Hosted Document and makes no representation regarding the honesty, integrity, trustworthiness, qualifications, intentions, financial condition, or conduct of any person or entity who receives access to a Hosted Document. Users are solely responsible for conducting their own due diligence before sharing any Hosted Document and for determining whether additional legal protections are appropriate under the circumstances. By using the Service, users knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks associated with electronically sharing Hosted Documents and agree that PitchDeckHost.com shall not be liable for any loss, damage, claim, expense, or legal dispute arising out of or relating to the user's decision to upload, store, host, or share any Hosted Document through the Service. 9. Service Availability, Storage, and Technical Operations PitchDeckHost.com strives to provide a reliable and continuously available Service. However, the Service is provided on a commercially reasonable basis, and uninterrupted availability cannot be guaranteed. Users acknowledge and agree that the Service may occasionally experience interruptions, delays, reduced performance, maintenance periods, software defects, hardware failures, network outages, security incidents, or other events beyond the control of PitchDeckHost.com.

PitchDeckHost.com reserves the right to modify, suspend, discontinue, replace, or improve any feature, functionality, supported file format, storage method, processing workflow, or operational characteristic of the Service at any time without prior notice. Although PitchDeckHost.com may maintain backup systems and other operational safeguards, users acknowledge that no electronic storage system is immune from accidental deletion, corruption, hardware failure, cyberattack, natural disaster, software malfunction, human error, or other unforeseen events. Accordingly, users are solely responsible for maintaining independent backup copies of all documents and other User Content uploaded to the Service. PitchDeckHost.com shall not be liable for any loss of data, corruption of files, failed uploads, failed document conversions, interrupted processing, storage failures, accidental deletion, system outages, or other technical failures affecting User Content or the availability of the Service. The Service may occasionally be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance, emergency maintenance, security updates, infrastructure improvements, software deployments, or other operational activities. Such interruptions shall not constitute a breach of these Terms. PitchDeckHost.com reserves the right to establish or modify limitations on storage capacity, supported file types, document size, bandwidth usage, processing time, account features, or other technical characteristics of the Service at any time. Nothing contained in these Terms shall be construed as creating any obligation on the part of PitchDeckHost.com to preserve any specific document, maintain any particular feature indefinitely, or continue operating the Service in its present form. 10.
