INVESTMENT DISCLAIMERS

The investments and strategies discussed throughout the Site may not be suitable for all investors and are not obligations of or guaranteed by S2G or any of its affiliates. Nothing on the Site is to be construed as a solicitation to offer investment advice or services. By using the Site, you agree that S2G is not liable for any action you take or decision you make in reliance on any Site content.

Testimonials of partners/portfolio company executives are provided to demonstrate the benefits of working with the S2G team. They are not provided to solicit investors in a S2G fund. Some partners/executives featured in the testimonials have an interest in a S2G fund; such partner’s/executive’s testimonial is not offered on the basis of being an investor in a S2G fund but rather as a partner/executive who works with the S2G team.

Portfolio companies described on the Site and testimonial videos do not purport to represent all portfolio company investments made by S2G. Not all of our portfolio investments had the characteristics, prospects or projected successes highlighted. Past results are not indicative, nor a guarantee, of future results, which may vary.

As determined appropriate and in its sole discretion, S2G takes certain ESG-considerations into account in the selection, management and investment decisions related to portfolio investments; however, the types of considerations and the weight given to such considerations may vary from investment to investment and remains subject to S2G’s discretion, fund investment objectives/constraints and any underlying fiduciary duties. Any discussion of ESG issues or results contained on a Site is subject to the foregoing limitations.

MISCELLANEOUS

You may not assign or otherwise transfer these Terms of Use or your rights or obligations under it without S2G’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment or other transfer in violation of this provision shall be void ab initio. S2G may assign these Terms of Use or any rights under these Terms of Use without your consent and without notice to you. Nothing in these Terms of Use may be used to construe you and S2G as joint venturers, co-employers, partners, or agents of each other, and neither you nor S2G has the power to obligate or bind the other in any way whatsoever. Should any term or other provision hereof be deemed invalid, void, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, either in its entirety or in a particular application, the remainder of these Terms of Use shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, void, illegal or unenforceable, such term or other provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law in such jurisdiction. The failure of S2G at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect its right at a later time to enforce the same unless the same is waived in writing. These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provisions or rules (whether of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the applications of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of Delaware. Any legal proceeding, controversy, claim, action or dispute arising out of, relating to or based upon these Terms of Use against or relating to S2G or any indemnified party under these Terms of Use shall be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America or the courts of the State of Illinois, and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such proceeding or dispute. Service of process, summons, notice or other document by mail to your address shall be effective service of process for any proceeding brought in any such court. Additionally, you irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any proceeding in such courts and you irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The terms and conditions set forth in these Terms of Use and any agreements included or referred to in these Terms of Use constitute the final, complete and exclusive agreement with respect to the Site and may not be contradicted, explained or supplemented by evidence of any prior agreement, any contemporaneous oral agreement or any consistent additional terms.

Headings and captions throughout these Terms of Use are for convenience only and should not be considered part of these Terms of Use. The word “including” means “including without limitation.”
