Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website located at deepvine.ai, including our blog and newsletter (together, the “Site”). The Site is operated by Local Labs LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company doing business as Deepvine AI (“Deepvine,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1. The Site is informational

The Site describes Deepvine’s private AI knowledge system services and publishes analysis and commentary for professional audiences. The Site itself does not provide Deepvine’s services. Any engagement for Deepvine’s deployment, integration, or managed services is governed exclusively by a separate written agreement between Deepvine and the client, such as a master services agreement and applicable statements of work. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a signed services agreement, the signed agreement controls with respect to those services.

2. Not professional advice

Content published on the Site, including blog posts discussing legal ethics rules, securities regulations, tax rules, and other compliance topics, is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, tax, accounting, investment, or other professional advice, and it does not create any professional relationship between you and Deepvine or its founders. Rules, regulations, and formal opinions vary by jurisdiction and change over time. You should consult your own qualified counsel or advisors before acting on anything you read here.

3. Eligibility and acceptable use

The Site is intended for business and professional audiences. You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and agree that you will not:

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers, or any connected systems
• Interfere with or disrupt the Site, including through denial-of-service attacks or the introduction of malicious code
• Scrape, harvest, or collect information from the Site in a manner that violates these Terms, applicable law, or the Site’s robots.txt directives
• Use the Site to transmit spam or unsolicited commercial messages
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation in any submission to us
• Frame or mirror the Site without our prior written consent

4. Intellectual property

The Site and its contents, including text, graphics, logos, page designs, illustrations, and the Deepvine name and marks, are owned by Local Labs LLC or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to access and view the Site for your personal or internal business use. You may share links to our content and quote brief excerpts with attribution and a link to the original page. You may not otherwise reproduce, republish, distribute, or create derivative works from Site content without our prior written permission. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use the Deepvine name or marks.

5. Submissions

If you submit information through the Site, such as a demo request or newsletter signup, you represent that the information is accurate and that you have the right to provide it. Do not submit confidential, proprietary, or privileged information through Site forms. If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the Site or our services, you agree we may use them without restriction or compensation to you.

Our collection and use of personal information through the Site is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

6. Newsletter

By subscribing to our newsletter, you consent to receive periodic emails from us at the address you provide. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email or by contacting us. Unsubscribing from marketing email does not affect transactional or relationship messages related to an active inquiry or engagement.

7. Third-party sites and services

The Site contains links to and integrations with third-party websites and services, including primary sources, regulatory materials, video platforms, and scheduling tools such as Calendly, through which demos are booked. These links are provided for convenience and reference. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of third-party sites and services, and a link does not imply endorsement. Your use of third-party sites and services is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR AVAILABILITY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT CONTENT IS CURRENT OR COMPLETE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LOCAL LABS LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). THIS SECTION DOES NOT LIMIT LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, AND IT DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY SIGNED SERVICES AGREEMENT, WHICH CONTAINS ITS OWN NEGOTIATED TERMS.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Local Labs LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.

11. Changes to the Site and these Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice. We may also revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site that is not resolved informally shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

13. General

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding use of the Site, and supersede any prior understandings on that subject. You may not assign your rights under these Terms; we may assign ours in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
