Terms & Conditions

Effective date: March 11, 2026

General

Please read the following terms and conditions (inclusive of this Privacy Policy, the “Terms”). They govern your use of this website (the “Site”) and its associated services, including Defined-affiliated newsletters, podcasts, social media and other content, whether distributed via this website or other content distribution platforms (collectively with the Site, the “Services”). By accessing or using the Services 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 Services 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 Services, all content and material on the Services — including information, photos, podcasts, blog or social media posts, videos, graphics, icons, design and overall appearance — are the property of Defined Capital Inc (“Defined,” “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 Services are the property of Defined, its affiliates or their third-party owners, and the Services grant no license to them.

The Services are intended solely to provide general information related to Defined. The Services are 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 Defined. Defined 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 Services 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 Defined, 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 applicable securities laws. There can be no assurance that Defined’s investment strategies will be successful or that Defined’s investment objectives will be achieved. Any investment in a fund or other investment vehicle managed by Defined involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of a complete loss of investment.

Any Defined portfolio companies or other investments described or referenced via the Services are not representative of all investments of the funds managed by Defined, 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 Services reflect the views of the individual posters and are subject to change. Certain information available via the Services has been obtained from third-party sources, including from portfolio companies of investment funds managed by Defined. While taken from sources we believe are reliable, Defined has not independently verified all such information, and Defined makes no representation or warranty about the accuracy of such information or its suitability for any purpose. The opinions expressed via the Services are not intended to constitute investment, accounting, tax or legal advice; nothing in the Services 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 via the Services is presented on an “as is” basis without any warranty, express or implied, of any kind.

Certain statements made or other information disseminated via the Services by individual Defined personnel may constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. To the extent any information made available via the Services 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. Defined 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 via the Services are subject to change without notice and may differ from opinions expressed by others.

Past results of Defined’s managed investment funds or other investment vehicles are not necessarily indicative of future results.

Additional important information about Defined, including any applicable regulatory filings, may be available through relevant securities regulatory authorities.

Third-Party Websites

The Services may include content created, prepared or otherwise made available by third parties or a link to or integration with websites operated by third parties. Defined 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 Defined harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party content, website or service.
