Welcome to The Inventor Guide. By accessing or using the services provided by The Inventor Guide (referred to collectively as “The Inventor Guide”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), which include our websites, applications, and any related products or services (collectively referred to as the “Service” or “Services”), you agree to comply with and be bound by the following Terms of Service (“Terms”). Please read these Terms carefully. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must immediately cease all use of our Services.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, along with our Privacy Policy, which governs the use of your personal information.

Use of the Service

You may use the Service only in accordance with these Terms and solely for lawful purposes. In doing so, you agree to act responsibly and respectfully toward The Inventor Guide, its infrastructure, and its personnel. You must not:

• Engage in any conduct that disrupts, damages, or impairs the operation of the Service or interferes with other users’ access.

• Use the Service in a way that violates any laws, regulations, or standards of conduct, including attempts to disable, overburden, or otherwise exploit the Service.

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any systems or accounts, or obtain paid features without proper authorization.

• Harass, intimidate, or threaten any individuals associated with The Inventor Guide, including its employees, agents, volunteers, or service providers.

Any use of the Service outside these guidelines is strictly prohibited.

Intellectual Property

All content on the Services, including text, images, logos, graphics, and software, is the property of The Inventor Guide or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or otherwise use any content from the Services without explicit permission.

Limitations of Liability

The Service is provided on an “as-is” basis. We make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, or availability of the Services. You agree that we are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of your use of our Service.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. These external sites are not controlled by us, and we are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites. You use third-party links at your own risk.

Privacy

We value your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal data you may share with us. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for detailed information on how we collect, use, and protect your information.

In summary:

We do not intentionally collect personal data, nor do we use cookies. We may collect non-personal usage data (such as IP addresses and browsing patterns) to improve the Service. We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties except where necessary for the Services’ operation. By using our Services, you consent to the practices described in our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with how we handle data, you must cease all use of the Service.

Modifications to the Service

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at our discretion, without prior notice. We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from such changes.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, without notice, if you violate these Terms or engage in activities that we deem inappropriate. In the event of any violation of these terms, the original English version set forth below shall govern and take precedence over any translations, irrespective of whether such translations were produced by an agent of The Inventor Guide or by any third party.

Dispute Resolution

You and The Inventor Guide agree that any disagreements, claims, or controversies related to these Terms—including their interpretation, enforcement, validity, or your use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”)—will be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration, except as required by applicable law.

If a Dispute cannot be settled through informal discussions or mediation, it will be submitted to binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration will be handled by a single arbitrator following the procedures set forth by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) as specified in this Agreement.

You must commence any arbitration proceedings within one year of the Dispute arising; otherwise, your right to arbitration will be permanently waived.

In no event shall The Inventor Guide’s total liability concerning any claims arising under these Terms or your use of its services exceed the greater of twenty U.S. dollars (USD $20) or the total amount you have paid to The Inventor Guide in the twelve months preceding the claim.

For any arbitration proceeding, The Inventor Guide will appoint a single arbitrator to manage the case. All hearings will be conducted in English. At The Inventor Guide’s discretion, the arbitration may be held in person or via video conference to ensure effective communication. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding.

Both parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the designated arbitrator. Whether the arbitration is held in person or electronically (including by video or teleconference), it will be considered as taking place within the United States, at a location chosen by The Inventor Guide.

Any decision or award given by the arbitrator under these terms shall be final and binding on both you and The Inventor Guide and will not be subject to further court review, except as needed to enforce the arbitrator’s decision. The decision shall be disclosed only to the parties’ legal counsel and other professional advisors.

The arbitration outcome must remain confidential, and aside from the aforementioned disclosures or any legal obligations, the ruling shall not be publicized.

Relationship with Third Parties

The Inventor Guide is an independent entity and is not affiliated with, nor an official representative or subsidiary of, Inventor Services LLC (accessible at inventor.gg) or any of its affiliated services. The Inventor Guide provides services that integrate with those offered by Inventor Services LLC; however, such integration does not imply any affiliation, endorsement, or official relationship with Inventor Services LLC.

The Inventor Guide adheres to the branding guidelines issued by Inventor Services LLC in order to maintain a distinct brand identity. The term “Inventor” is employed solely to indicate the integration of services provided by Inventor Services LLC and does not constitute an attempt to impersonate or officially represent Inventor Services LLC. The Inventor Guide remains a separate and autonomous brand entity.

Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the Service itself. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. By continuing to use our Service, you agree to be bound by the updated Terms.
