We may update these Terms from time to time, and any modifications will be effective immediately upon posting unless we indicate otherwise. If you use the Site or the Services after any changes to the Terms have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes. We suggest that you review these Terms periodically for changes.

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR USE OF AND ACCESS TO THE SITE AND THE SERVICES ARE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS; IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING, YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SITE OR THE SERVICES IN ANY MANNER.

Due to the large number of business plan ideas and related materials that Phaedrus reviews, and the similarity of many such plans and materials, we cannot agree to obligations of confidentiality, non-use, or non-disclosure with respect to any information or materials submitted or provided to or otherwise shared with us.

By submitting information or materials to Phaedrus (each, a "Submission"), you (or anyone acting on your behalf) agree that any such Submission will not be considered confidential or proprietary, and that Phaedrus is free to use such Submission without condition, with no acknowledgment or compensation to you. In no event will Phaedrus be limited in, or restricted from, the pursuit of any opportunities, either alone or with third parties.

In addition, you (i) confirm that you will not post, send, publish, upload or transmit through the Services any Submission that is illegal, harassing, hateful, harmful, defamatory, obscene, bullying, abusive, discriminatory, threatening to any person or group, sexually explicit, false, inaccurate, deceitful or misleading; (ii) to the extent permissible by applicable law, hereby waive any and all moral rights to any such Submission; and (iii) warrant that any such Submission is original to you or that you have all necessary rights and licenses to submit such Submission and that you have full authority to grant us the above-mentioned rights in relation to your Submission.

The Site and the Services may contain links to third-party websites ("External Websites"). These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by us of the External Website, the content thereon, or their operators. The content of such External Websites is developed and provided by others and Phaedrus takes no responsibility for any content therein.

You should contact the site administrator or webmaster for those External Websites if you have any concerns regarding such links or any content located on such External Websites. No Phaedrus Party (as defined below) is responsible, and will have liability, for the content of any linked External Websites and we make no representations regarding the content or accuracy of any materials on such External Websites.

You should take precautions when downloading files from all websites to protect your computer from viruses and other destructive programs. If you decide to access any External Websites, you do so at your own risk. Accordingly, you release and hold the Phaedrus Parties harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any External Websites or service.

The Site and the Services contain material, including but not limited to information, photos, podcasts, blog posts, videos, software, text, graphics, charts, icons, code, designs, images, and overall appearance (collectively referred to as the "Content").
