Terms of Service
Effective Date: January 1, 2026 • Last Updated: January 1, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Somos Alliance Ventures Inc. ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), a registered C-Corporation. By purchasing any advisory service, submitting an inquiry, or using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Company Information
Somos Alliance Ventures Inc. is a registered C-Corporation with an Employer Identification Number (EIN) on file with the Internal Revenue Service. Our contact email is info@somosallianceventures.com.
2. Services
We provide corporate advisory services including Strategic Advisory Engagements, Executive Advisory Retainers, and Transaction & Capital Advisory. All services are delivered as described on our Services & Pricing page. We reserve the right to modify service descriptions, pricing, or availability with reasonable notice.
3. Payment Terms
All fees are quoted and billed in United States Dollars (USD). Payment is processed securely through Stripe. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. Payment is due in full at the time of engagement confirmation. For monthly retainer services, billing recurs on the same date each month until cancelled. Somos Alliance Ventures Inc. does not store payment card data.
4. Scope of Advisory Services
Our advisory services are professional consulting services and do not constitute legal, financial, accounting, or investment advice. We do not hold licenses as attorneys, certified public accountants, registered investment advisors, or broker-dealers. You are responsible for consulting licensed professionals for decisions requiring such expertise. Our deliverables represent independent professional opinion based on the information you provide.
5. Confidentiality
We treat all information shared during engagements as confidential. We will not disclose your business information to third parties without your consent, except as required by law. This obligation survives termination of the engagement. You similarly agree not to disclose the proprietary frameworks or advisory outputs we deliver to third parties without our written consent.
6. Intellectual Property
Advisory briefs, frameworks, and written materials delivered as part of an engagement are licensed to you for your internal business use only. We retain ownership of our methodologies, templates, and proprietary frameworks. You may not resell, publish, or distribute our deliverables without written authorization.
7. Cancellation & Refunds
Cancellation and refund terms are described in our Refund & Cancellation Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By purchasing a service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood those terms.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Somos Alliance Ventures Inc. shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our services or reliance on our advisory outputs. Our total liability in connection with any engagement shall not exceed the fees paid for that specific engagement.
9. Dispute Resolution
In the event of a dispute arising from these Terms or any engagement, the parties agree to first attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with applicable rules. These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States applicable to contracts entered into and fully performed within the United States, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
10. Modifications
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of our services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
