Northvale Unified LLC is a private investment company. We invest our own capital in publicly traded securities and work with entrepreneurs to help them start and grow new businesses. Any engagement with a founder, partner, or other party is subject to its own separate written agreement and terms.
You agree not to:
Northvale Unified does not manage money for outside clients and is not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer. Nothing on this site is investment, financial, legal, or tax advice, a recommendation to buy or sell any security, or an offer or solicitation of any investment. Any discussion of markets, companies, or strategies is general information only. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Any relationship with a founder, partner, or other party is governed by a separate written agreement, which controls if there is any conflict with these Terms.
All content on this site — including text, graphics, logos, icons, images, videos, software, and the "Northvale Unified" name and marks — is owned by Northvale Unified LLC or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any content without our prior written permission.
If you submit feedback, suggestions, questions, or other information to us through the site (collectively, "Submissions"), you grant Northvale a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide right to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute those Submissions for any business purpose, without compensation to you.
The site may link to third-party websites, services, and tools — including email, scheduling, or analytics providers. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of those third parties. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms.
The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. Northvale does not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of errors.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Northvale Unified LLC, its members, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or goodwill — arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, this site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Northvale's total cumulative liability for any claim arising from or related to your use of the site shall not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100), or the amount you paid Northvale (if any) in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, whichever is greater.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Northvale Unified LLC and its members, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the site, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the site at any time, without notice, for any reason — including violation of these Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the site shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Howard County, Maryland, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Important: These Terms of Use are a starting template intended to give the site a baseline legal framework. They should be reviewed and customized by a Maryland-licensed attorney before publication, especially given the investment-related nature of the business, before Northvale enters any agreements with founders or partners or operates outside Maryland. The "Last updated" and "Effective" dates above must be filled in before this page is considered active.
