Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern access to the Payne Agentic Ventures (“PAV”) website and entrepreneurship platform.

1. No offer, contract, or guaranteed result

Viewing the website; submitting interest; receiving an invitation; completing an application, interview, assessment, or action test; or receiving an internal status does not create an offer, contract, payment obligation, employment relationship, legal partnership, agency, ownership interest, funding commitment, revenue participation, guaranteed future engagement, or guaranteed result.

PAV does not guarantee contact, acceptance, funding, income, profitability, business success, or any particular recommendation or outcome.

2. Eligibility and minor restriction

Users must provide accurate eligibility information and use the service lawfully. People under 18 may submit only the brief introduction. They may not proceed into later applicant workflows unless and until PAV adopts a minor-specific process.

3. Acceptable use and applicant responsibility

Users may not interfere with service security; attempt unauthorized access; impersonate another person; submit malware; misuse invitation, passwordless, or signed-access links; scrape protected records; or provide content they lack authority to submit. Applicants remain responsible for the accuracy of their responses, business decisions, legal compliance, professional advice, and independent verification.

4. Applications, interviews, files, and electronic signatures

Invited workflows may include structured questions, conditional routing, save-and-return access, deadlines, reminders, optional uploads, AI-assisted interviews, human review, assessments, verification, and action tests. PAV may request clarification, place a matter on hold, decline to proceed, or withdraw access consistent with applicable law and PAV policy.

A typed electronic signature and versioned confirmations may be required for final submission. PAV records the applicable confirmation versions, attribution information, timestamp, and submitted record.

5. AI-assisted processing and human control

AI tools may assist with interviews, evidence organization, missing information, verification suggestions, and applicant-specific follow-up questions. AI does not automatically accept, decline, route, rank, or make PAV’s final decision. Authorized human reviewers control consequential outcomes. The separate AI-Processing Disclosure describes the intended boundaries.

6. Engagement terms and compensation

Any paid engagement is optional and begins only after PAV and the client accept a separate written agreement. No website content, introduction, application, applicant status, assessment, interview, or internal label creates a payment obligation or paid engagement.

PAV's current client-engagement model uses only a fixed-fee structure approved in a separate written agreement. The current model has no revenue participation, revenue formula, expected return, equity interest, or continuing revenue obligation. Any future revenue-participation model requires a new explicit business decision, focused legal and tax review, and a separate written agreement.

7. Outside-scope ventures and resources

PAV supports only lawful ventures within PAV’s demonstrated competence. Scope decisions concern venture activity and risk, not applicant identity or protected characteristics. Borderline matters are placed on hold for Kyle’s manual review and legal review when appropriate; AI cannot automatically accept or decline them.

Any outside resources are publicly available, applicant-initiated, non-endorsed, free from referral fees, free from automated matching, and do not receive applicant data from PAV.

8. Intellectual property and feedback

Applicants retain rights they lawfully hold in their submitted materials. They grant PAV only the permissions reasonably necessary to operate, secure, review, and administer the requested workflow. PAV retains rights in its platform, questions, processes, brand, and internal materials. Any confidentiality, feedback, license, or work-product terms that apply to an engagement will be stated in the applicable written agreement.

9. Availability, security, and suspension

PAV may maintain, change, suspend, or discontinue platform access and may revoke compromised credentials or access links. The service may experience outages, provider failures, or security limitations. Users should retain their own copies of information they are legally entitled to keep and should not submit unnecessary sensitive material.

10. Disclaimers and liability

Warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and remedy provisions apply only to the extent permitted by law. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded, and nothing implies guaranteed results.

11. Governing law and disputes

Any dispute related to the website or platform will be handled under applicable law in a court with lawful jurisdiction unless a separate written agreement provides otherwise.

12. Contact and changes

Questions may be sent to sales@payneagenticventures.com. PAV may update these terms as its services or legal obligations change. Material changes will be versioned, and PAV will provide any notice required by applicable law. These terms were last updated August 5, 2026.
