Terms of Use

Accepting these terms

These terms apply to your use of pactech.ca, run by Pacific Technology Ventures Ltd. ("PacTech", "we" or "us"). By using the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.

Using the site

You may use the site for lawful purposes and to learn about PacTech. Do not:

• try to break, overload or gain unauthorised access to the site or its systems;
• scrape or copy the site at scale, or use it to send spam;
• submit false information or pretend to be someone else.

Our content

The text, design, logos, videos, guides and curriculum on this site belong to PacTech or our licensors and are protected by copyright and trademark law. You may view and share links to public pages for personal or internal business use. You may not republish, sell or modify our content without written permission.

Applications and submissions

Applying to a PacTech program does not guarantee acceptance, funding, investment or any other result. We review applications at our discretion and may decline any application without giving reasons.

You keep ownership of what you send us. You confirm that you have the right to share it, and you allow us to use it to review your application and run our programs. We treat business plans and pitch material with care, but we cannot sign confidentiality agreements at the application stage, and we may review similar ideas from other founders.

AI curriculum and modules

Some Founder Series modules are open previews. The full modules, guides and recordings are for accepted founders. If you have access, we give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use them for your own company. Do not share logins, or copy, record, resell or publish module content.

Third-party links and events

The site links to events, programs and resources run by others, including Eventbrite, Futurpreneur and government agencies. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability or terms. Event details can change, so confirm them with the host before you attend.

No professional advice

The articles, guides, modules and events are general information for founders. They are not legal, tax, accounting, investment or financial advice. Speak to a qualified professional before you act on them.

Disclaimers

We work to keep the site accurate and available, but we provide it "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no promises that it will be error-free, up to date or uninterrupted.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, PacTech, its directors, staff and mentors are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for lost profits, data or business opportunities, arising from your use of the site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Indemnity

If you misuse the site or break these terms, you agree to cover the reasonable losses and costs, including legal fees, that PacTech incurs as a result.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. You agree that the courts of British Columbia have jurisdiction over any dispute about the site.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will post the new version here with a new "last updated" date. If you keep using the site after a change, you accept the updated terms.
