The rules of the road for using 10xAccess.com and the matchmaking network operated through it.
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and 10xAccess (the "we," "us," or "10xAccess"), the operator of the website at 10xAccess.com (the "Site") and of the two-sided matching network for AI ventures and domain experts (the "Network"). By accessing the Site or submitting an application, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
The Network is offered to two distinct audiences:
You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter binding agreements in your jurisdiction. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when applying.
We facilitate introductions and matches between AI Ventures and Domain Experts. We curate, vet, and filter — but the relationship and engagement that follow a match are between the founder and the operator. 10xAccess is not a party to the engagement, is not a recruiter or staffing agency, and does not employ the operators in the Network.
We do not provide legal, tax, investment, or financial advice. Information shared through the Site or in connection with a match is not professional advice. Operators in the Network may be qualified professionals (e.g., attorneys), but any professional services they provide are subject to a separate engagement and the rules governing their profession.
Submitting an application does not create an obligation on either party. We may accept, reject, or pause applications at our sole discretion, including based on fit, capacity, conflicts, or any other reason consistent with applicable law. We may also remove participants from the Network at any time.
Use of the Site is free. Specific terms — including fees, scope, deliverables, equity components, and timelines — are agreed directly between matched parties under their own engagement agreement. 10xAccess may charge fees in connection with introductions or successful matches; any such fees will be disclosed in writing before they are incurred.
Information you submit in an application is treated as confidential and is shared only with parties on the other side of a potential match, and only to the extent reasonably required to evaluate fit. Matched parties are expected to enter their own confidentiality terms before exchanging sensitive material. We will not publish your application content publicly without your consent.
The Site, the Network branding, the four-pillar framework as expressed on this Site, and all related text, graphics, and code are owned by 10xAccess or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property law. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or commercially exploit any part of the Site or its content without our prior written permission.
Materials you submit (e.g., portfolio links, scope descriptions) remain yours; you grant us a limited license to use them for the sole purpose of operating the Network and matching you.
The Site and the Network are provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranty that any introduction will result in a successful engagement, that operators will be available on a particular timeline, or that the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, 10xAccess will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site or the Network.
You agree to defend and indemnify 10xAccess against any claim, loss, or expense arising from your breach of these Terms, your misrepresentation in any application, or any engagement you enter into with another participant.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which 10xAccess is established, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought in the competent courts of that jurisdiction.
