Introduction and Acceptance

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the Vector Summit website and the financial analysis services we provide. By accessing our website or engaging with our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms.

If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should discontinue use of our website and services. These terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use our services, whether as casual website visitors or as institutional clients engaging our analytical capabilities.

Service Description and Scope

Vector Summit provides financial analysis services to institutional investors, including research reports, analytical frameworks, and investment decision support across various asset classes and market sectors.

Our services are designed to support professional investment decision-making through comprehensive research, but they do not constitute investment advice, recommendations to buy or sell securities, or fiduciary guidance. Clients maintain full responsibility for their investment decisions and outcomes.

Service delivery terms, including scope, timeline, deliverables, and compensation, are established through individual engagement agreements with each client. These Terms of Service complement but do not replace specific contractual arrangements.

Acceptable Use Policy

When accessing our website and services, you agree to use them only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms of Service.

Permitted Uses

You may access our website to learn about our services, review our analytical approach and methodology, contact us regarding potential engagement opportunities, and access any publicly available research or educational content we provide.

Prohibited Activities

You may not use our website or services to violate any applicable laws or regulations, infringe upon intellectual property rights of Vector Summit or third parties, transmit harmful code or malicious software, attempt unauthorized access to our systems or networks, or engage in any activity that could damage, disable, or impair our services.

Additionally, you may not reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit our proprietary research content without explicit written permission, use automated systems to scrape or harvest data from our website, or misrepresent your affiliation with any entity or falsify information provided to us.

Access and Account Management

Account Requirements

Access to certain areas of our website or receipt of specific services may require registration or execution of a service agreement. When creating an account or providing information, you must furnish accurate, complete, and current information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for all activities conducted under your account.

Account Security

You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other security breach. We reserve the right to disable any account or access credentials if we suspect unauthorized use or violation of these terms.

Account Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to our services at our discretion if we determine that you have violated these Terms of Service, engaged in fraudulent activity, or if required by law. Upon termination, your right to access and use our services ceases immediately.

Service Availability and Modifications

Availability and Uptime

While we strive to maintain continuous website availability, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Our website may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, technical issues, or circumstances beyond our control. We are not liable for any inconvenience or loss resulting from service interruptions.

Service Modifications

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of our website or services at any time without prior notice. This includes changes to features, functionality, content, or availability. Modifications do not affect obligations under existing client agreements unless specifically amended through mutual consent.

Geographic Restrictions

Our services are intended primarily for institutional investors in jurisdictions where such services may be legally provided. We make no representation that our services are appropriate or available for use in all locations. Access from territories where our content or services are illegal is prohibited.

Intellectual Property Rights

Our Content Ownership

All content on our website, including text, graphics, logos, research reports, analytical methodologies, and software, is the property of Vector Summit or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Unauthorized use of our content may violate these laws.

Limited License

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use our website for informational purposes. This license does not include any right to reproduce, distribute, create derivative works, publicly display, or commercially exploit our content without explicit written permission.

Client-Provided Materials

When you provide us with information, documents, or materials in connection with our services, you grant us a license to use such materials solely for the purpose of delivering the agreed services. We will handle your confidential information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and any applicable confidentiality agreements.

Disclaimers and Limitations

Not Investment Advice

Our research and analytical services are provided for informational purposes to support your independent investment decision-making. Nothing on our website or in our reports constitutes investment advice, recommendations to buy or sell securities, or personalized financial guidance. You should consult qualified financial advisors before making investment decisions.

No Warranties

Our website and services are provided on an as-is basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that our website will be error-free, secure, or continuously available, or that defects will be corrected. We make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of information provided.

Forward-Looking Information

Any forward-looking statements, projections, or forecasts in our materials are based on assumptions and current expectations that may prove incorrect. Actual results may differ materially from projected outcomes. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Vector Summit shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or business opportunities, arising from your use of our website or services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability for any claims arising from or related to these Terms of Service or our services shall not exceed the amount paid by you to Vector Summit for services during the twelve months preceding the claim, or one hundred British pounds, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Vector Summit, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your use of our services, violation of these Terms of Service, or infringement of any third-party rights.

This indemnification obligation survives termination of these Terms of Service and your use of our services.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these terms or our services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

For clients outside the United Kingdom, specific service agreements may designate alternative governing law and jurisdiction provisions, which would supersede this general provision for matters covered by those agreements.

Dispute Resolution

In the event of any dispute or claim arising from these Terms of Service, we encourage you to contact us first to seek an informal resolution. Many concerns can be addressed through direct communication.

If informal resolution proves unsuccessful, disputes may be submitted to mediation or arbitration as mutually agreed by the parties. Specific client agreements may contain additional dispute resolution procedures that would apply to matters arising under those agreements.

Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. Updated terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Material changes will be communicated through reasonable means, such as a notice on our website homepage or via email to registered users.

Your continued use of our website or services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified terms. If you do not agree with the changes, you should discontinue use of our services.

Severability and Waiver

If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. The unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its intent.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Vector Summit.

Entire Agreement

These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Vector Summit regarding use of our website. They supersede any prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter herein. Individual service agreements with clients supplement but do not replace these general terms for website use.
