General

Please read the following terms and conditions (inclusive of the Privacy Policy, the “Terms”). They govern your use of this website (the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site in any manner, you agree to be bound by the Terms. We may update the Terms from time to time, and any modifications will be effective immediately upon posting unless we indicate otherwise. If you use the Site after any modifications have been posted, your use will constitute your agreement to such modifications. We suggest that you review
these Terms periodically for changes.

Except as otherwise noted on the Site, all content and material on the Site – including information, photos, videos, graphics, icons, design and overall appearance – are the property of Addition, L.P. (“Addition,” “we” or “us”) and should not be used, modified or reproduced without our prior written consent. All trademarks, trade names and logos displayed on the Site are the property of Addition, its affiliates or their third-party owners, and the Site grants no license to them. ADDITION, ADDITION CAPITAL and ADDITION VENTURES are registered trademarks in the United States and may not be used without the prior written permission of Addition.

The Site is intended solely to provide general information related to Addition. The Site is not directed at and should not be relied upon by any investor or prospective investor in any investment fund or other investment vehicle managed by Addition. Addition does not intend to solicit or make its investment advisory services available to the general public.

Under no circumstance should any information provided via the Site be considered an offer soliciting the purchase or sale of any security or other interest in any investment fund or other investment vehicle managed or mentioned by Addition, nor should any such information be construed as an offer to provide investment advisory services. Any such offer or solicitation will be made separately and only by means of confidential offering documents specific to the relevant investment fund or other investment vehicle to investors that, among other requirements, meet certain qualifications under federal securities laws. There can be no assurance that Addition’s investment strategies will be successful or that Addition’s investment objectives will be achieved. Any investment in a fund or other investment vehicle managed by Addition involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of a complete loss of investment.

Any Addition portfolio companies or other investments described or referenced via the Site are not representative of all investments of the funds managed by Addition, and there can be no assurance that the investments described or referenced will be profitable or that future investments will have similar character or results.

Any opinions expressed via the Site reflect the views of the individual posters and are subject to change. Certain information available via the Site may have been obtained from third-party sources, including from portfolio companies of investment funds managed by Addition. Addition has not independently verified all such information, and Addition makes no representation or warranty about the accuracy of such information or its suitability for any purpose. The opinions expressed on the Site are not intended to constitute investment, accounting, tax or legal advice; nothing on the Site is a recommendation that you purchase, sell or hold any security or other investment or that you pursue any particular investment strategy. The content available on the Site is presented on an “as is” basis without any warranty, express or implied, of any kind.

Certain statements made or other information disseminated on the Site by individual Addition personnel may constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Privacy Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. To the extent any information made available on the Site constitutes a forward-looking statement (which may be identified by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “upside,” “potential,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “forecast,” “target,” “believe” or similar terminology), please note that actual events, results or performance may differ materially from those reflected or contemplated by such statement. Addition disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement in the event it later turns out to be inaccurate, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Any projections, estimates, forecasts, targets or opinions expressed on the Site are subject to change without notice and may differ from opinions expressed by others.

Additional important information about Addition, including our Form ADV, is available at the SEC’s website, http://www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.

The Site may include content created, prepared or otherwise made available by third parties or a link to or integration with websites operated by third parties. Addition has no control over any such content or websites and shall have no liability related to such content or websites. The existence of any such content, link or other integration does not constitute an endorsement of the relevant content, website or third party. You hereby release and hold Addition harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party content, website or service.
