1. About These Terms

These Website Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of [insert website URL] and any other GCG website that links to these Terms (collectively, the “Website”).

Please read these Terms carefully. By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood them and agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, you should not use the Website.

These Terms apply only to your use of the Website. They do not govern a separate acquisition, investment, employment, advisory, supplier, operating, or other commercial relationship with GCG. Any such relationship will be governed by the definitive written agreements entered into by the relevant parties.

Additional terms may apply to particular services, materials, portals, events, or opportunities. If there is a conflict between these Terms and a signed written agreement with GCG, the signed agreement will govern the subject matter it addresses.

2. Corporate and Informational Purpose

The Website provides general corporate information about GCG, including its approach to building, acquiring, operating, and developing consumer companies.

Unless GCG expressly states otherwise in a separate authorised communication, the Website is provided for general informational purposes only.

The Website is not intended to provide a complete description of GCG, any GCG affiliate, any portfolio company, any transaction, or any business or investment opportunity. Information on the Website should not be treated as the sole basis for a commercial, financial, legal, tax, employment, acquisition, or investment decision.

3. No Offer or Solicitation

Nothing on the Website constitutes or should be interpreted as:

• An offer to sell or issue any security, investment, financial product, or ownership interest;

• A solicitation of an offer to buy any security, investment, financial product, or ownership interest;

• An invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity;

• A public offering, private-placement memorandum, prospectus, or offering document;

• An offer to buy or sell a company, business, asset, or intellectual-property right;

• A commitment to enter into any transaction or business relationship; or

• A representation that any investment, acquisition, partnership, employment, or other opportunity is currently available.

Any offer, solicitation, or transaction involving GCG, an affiliate, or a portfolio company will be made only through authorised representatives and, where required, appropriate confidential documentation, definitive agreements, and applicable eligibility or suitability procedures.

No person may rely on the Website as creating a legally binding offer. GCG may begin, suspend, modify, or discontinue discussions concerning a potential opportunity at any time, subject to any binding written agreement that states otherwise.

[Regulatory review required: confirm that the Website contains no investment-return claims, fundraising invitation, downloadable offering document, “invest now” functionality, or other content capable of being treated as a financial promotion or securities solicitation.]

4. No Financial, Investment, Legal, or Tax Advice

The Website does not provide and should not be relied upon as:

• Investment advice;

• A personal recommendation;

• Financial planning or portfolio-management advice;

• Legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory advice;

• Valuation or transaction advice;

• A recommendation to acquire or dispose of an investment, company, asset, or security; or

• Advice concerning the suitability of any opportunity for a particular person or organisation.

GCG does not know the circumstances, objectives, financial position, risk tolerance, or legal obligations of each Website visitor. You are responsible for obtaining independent professional advice before making a decision based on subjects discussed on the Website.

Your use of the Website does not create an adviser-client, fiduciary, agency, partnership, joint-venture, employment, or other professional relationship between you and GCG.

5. Regulatory Status

[Select and approve one version with legal counsel. Delete the versions that do not apply.]

Version A — GCG Does Not Conduct Regulated Investment Activity Through the Website

GCG does not use the Website to provide regulated investment services, execute securities transactions, accept investment subscriptions, or provide personalised investment recommendations.

No GCG entity should be treated as a broker, dealer, investment adviser, fund manager, placement agent, financial adviser, or other regulated financial-services provider solely because of the information on the Website.

Version B — A GCG Entity Has a Relevant Registration or Authorisation

Certain activities described on the Website may be undertaken by [full regulated entity name], which is [authorised, registered, licensed, or supervised] by [regulator] under reference number [number].

That authorisation or registration applies only to the activities, entities, jurisdictions, and clients within its scope. It should not be interpreted as an endorsement, guarantee, or approval of GCG, the Website, or any commercial or investment outcome.

Version C — Activities Are Conducted Through Third-Party Regulated Firms

Where a transaction requires regulated services, those services may be provided by appropriately authorised third-party firms under separate terms. GCG does not represent that it holds the authorisations of those third parties.

6. Intended Audience

The Website is primarily intended for business and professional audiences, including:

• Strategic acquirers;

• Private-equity firms;

• Family offices;

• Institutional and professional capital partners;

• Founders and company owners;

• Senior operators and executives;

• Professional advisers;

• Suppliers and commercial partners; and

• Other people evaluating a legitimate business relationship with GCG.

The Website is not designed as a retail investment platform and is not directed at any person in a jurisdiction where its distribution or use would violate applicable law.

You are responsible for determining whether your access to and use of the Website is lawful in your location.

7. Accuracy and Completeness of Information

GCG seeks to present information that is useful and accurate when published. However, the Website may contain:

• Summaries or simplified descriptions;

• Estimates and assumptions;

• Information prepared as of a particular date;

• Information supplied by third parties;

• Statements concerning businesses or projects that continue to develop;

• Typographical, technical, or factual errors; or

• Information that has become incomplete or outdated.

GCG does not promise that all Website content is accurate, complete, current, suitable, or available at all times.

GCG may correct, update, remove, or replace Website content without notice. GCG does not undertake a general obligation to update every statement after its publication date.

Before relying on information relating to GCG, an affiliate, a portfolio company, a transaction, or a commercial opportunity, you should obtain and review the relevant current information and definitive documentation.

8. Performance Information and Business Metrics

[Retain this section if the Website displays revenue, valuation, return, growth, assets-under-management, brand-count, exit, or other performance figures.]

Any financial, operational, portfolio, transaction, or performance information displayed on the Website must be read together with its stated methodology, period, source, definitions, qualifications, and “as of” date.

Unless expressly stated otherwise:

• Figures may be unaudited;

• Results may include estimates or information supplied by third parties;

• “Value created” may not equal realised proceeds, profit, or investment return;

• Assets under management may be calculated using a methodology that differs from another organisation’s methodology;

• Portfolio counts may include companies or brands that were built, backed, advised, operated, acquired, or previously exited under different arrangements;

• Illustrative examples may not represent the experience of every GCG company or partner; and

• Historical results do not guarantee future results.

No visitor should assume that GCG, a portfolio company, a partner, or a future transaction will achieve results comparable to those described on the Website.

[For every displayed statistic, add its definition, measurement period, source, and “as of” date. Obtain documentary support before publication.]

9. Forward-Looking Statements

The Website may contain statements about future plans, objectives, strategies, market opportunities, portfolio development, acquisitions, growth, profitability, exits, or other future events.

These statements are forward-looking and reflect expectations, assumptions, and judgments available when the statements are made. They are not guarantees.

Actual events and results may differ materially because of factors including:

• Changes in market or economic conditions;

• Consumer demand and behaviour;

• Competition;

• Product, supply-chain, and distribution performance;

• Customer-acquisition costs;

• Availability and cost of capital;

• Legal and regulatory developments;

• Management and personnel changes;

• Technology, cybersecurity, and operational risks;

• Transaction timing and execution;

• The performance of counterparties and service providers; and

• Events outside GCG’s reasonable control.

GCG is not obliged to update a forward-looking statement solely because circumstances or expectations later change, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

10. Portfolio Companies and Third Parties

References to a company, brand, founder, investor, adviser, acquirer, operator, supplier, or other organisation do not necessarily mean that the referenced party:

• Is currently affiliated with GCG;

• Is owned or controlled by GCG;

• Has endorsed GCG or the Website;

• Has authorised every statement made about it;

• Is currently available for acquisition, investment, or partnership; or

• Has agreed to enter into a future transaction.

GCG portfolio companies and other affiliated businesses may be separate legal entities with their own management, obligations, websites, policies, products, and services.

Unless expressly stated in a binding written agreement, GCG is not responsible for the acts, omissions, products, services, contracts, debts, or liabilities of a separately incorporated portfolio company or third party.

Logos, trade names, and trademarks belonging to third parties remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance on the Website does not, by itself, imply sponsorship, endorsement, or an ongoing commercial relationship.

11. Testimonials, Case Studies, and Endorsements

Testimonials and case studies reflect the experience or opinion of the identified person or organisation at the relevant time.

They may not represent the experience of every company, founder, operator, buyer, investor, or partner. They are not guarantees of performance, value creation, transaction completion, or any other result.

GCG will not materially alter a quotation and continue to attribute it to the speaker without appropriate approval.

[Confirm written permission for every name, photograph, quotation, company logo, and case study before publication.]

12. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise identified, the Website and its contents are owned by or licensed to GCG. This includes:

• The GCG name and logo;

• Website design and layout;

• Written copy;

• Graphics, illustrations, and animations;

• Photographs and videos;

• Research and reports;

• Presentations and downloadable materials;

• Software and code; and

• Other original content.

These materials may be protected by copyright, trademark, database, trade-dress, and other intellectual-property laws.

GCG grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Website for lawful personal, professional, or internal business-information purposes.

Unless GCG gives prior written permission, you may not:

• Copy, reproduce, republish, or commercially exploit a material part of the Website;

• Modify, translate, or create derivative works from Website content;

• Remove copyright, trademark, attribution, or proprietary notices;

• Use GCG branding in a way that suggests sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation;

• Frame or mirror a material part of the Website;

• Use Website content to train, develop, or improve a commercial artificial-intelligence or machine-learning system;

• Sell, license, distribute, or make Website content available as part of another product or service; or

• Use the Website or its content in a misleading, unlawful, or reputationally harmful manner.

You may share an ordinary link to a publicly available Website page, provided that the link does not falsely imply an endorsement, affiliation, or partnership.

No right or licence is granted except as expressly stated in these Terms.

13. Acceptable Use

You must not use the Website to:

• Break any applicable law or regulation;

• Infringe another person’s rights;

• Submit false, misleading, fraudulent, defamatory, or unlawful information;

• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity, authority, or affiliation;

• Introduce malware, malicious code, or harmful material;

• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its infrastructure, or connected systems;

• Interfere with the Website’s security, integrity, availability, or performance;

• Circumvent an access control or technical restriction;

• Scrape, harvest, crawl, or extract Website data at a scale that burdens the Website or violates applicable law;

• Test the Website for vulnerabilities without written permission;

• Send spam, unsolicited promotions, or automated submissions through a Website form; or

• Use information obtained through the Website to harass, threaten, discriminate against, or harm another person.

GCG may restrict or block access where it reasonably believes the Website is being misused.

14. Enquiries and Submitted Information

The Website may allow you to submit an enquiry concerning a potential acquisition, partnership, operating role, capital relationship, supplier relationship, or other opportunity.

Submitting an enquiry does not:

• Require GCG to respond;

• Require GCG to evaluate or pursue the opportunity;

• Create a confidential, fiduciary, advisory, employment, agency, partnership, or contractual relationship;

• Prevent GCG from evaluating a similar opportunity;

• Grant exclusivity;

• Create a commitment to invest, acquire, sell, employ, engage, or transact; or

• Replace the need for a signed confidentiality or other definitive agreement.

Unless GCG has already signed an applicable confidentiality agreement, you should not submit:

• Trade secrets;

• Highly sensitive commercial information;

• Detailed non-public financial information;

• Proprietary product designs or formulas;

• Personal data about another person without authority;

• Legally privileged material; or

• Information subject to another party’s confidentiality restrictions.

GCG will handle personal data as described in its Privacy Policy. However, a Privacy Policy does not automatically create a commercial nondisclosure obligation.

If an opportunity requires confidential discussion, the parties should first determine whether an appropriate nondisclosure agreement is needed.

15. Unsolicited Ideas and Proposals

GCG may already be developing or evaluating products, brands, strategies, business models, or opportunities similar to an unsolicited idea submitted through the Website.

Unless GCG has agreed otherwise in writing before receiving it:

• GCG is not required to review an unsolicited proposal;

• Submission does not create an obligation of confidentiality beyond obligations imposed by applicable privacy law;

• Submission does not create exclusivity, compensation rights, or ownership rights in favour of the sender; and

• GCG may continue independently developing or evaluating similar concepts.

This section does not transfer ownership of intellectual property that you already own. It is intended to prevent an unsolicited submission from creating obligations that GCG did not knowingly accept.

16. Recruitment and Operating Opportunities

[Retain this section only if the Website advertises employment, advisory, founder-in-residence, executive, or portfolio-company operating roles.]

A description of a role or opportunity on the Website is informational and may be changed or withdrawn at any time.

Submitting a résumé, profile, or expression of interest does not guarantee:

• An interview;

• An assessment;

• Employment or engagement;

• A particular compensation arrangement;

• Placement with a portfolio company; or

• A response within a particular period.

Employment or engagement will arise only under definitive documentation issued or signed by the responsible legal entity.

GCG is committed to applying applicable equal-opportunity and non-discrimination requirements. [Insert jurisdiction-specific equal-opportunity language only after legal review.]

17. Privacy and Cookies

GCG’s collection and use of personal data through the Website are described in the GCG Privacy Policy.

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies as described in the Privacy Policy and, where provided, the Cookie Policy or cookie-preference tool.

The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference for informational consistency, but privacy rights and obligations will be determined by applicable law.

Privacy Policy: [Insert link]
Cookie Policy or Privacy Choices: [Insert link, if applicable]

18. Third-Party Websites

The Website may link to third-party websites, platforms, publications, social networks, service providers, portfolio companies, or other external resources.

These links are provided for convenience or reference. Unless expressly stated, GCG does not control, maintain, endorse, or assume responsibility for third-party content, availability, security, privacy practices, products, services, or representations.

Your use of a third-party website is governed by that third party’s terms and policies. You should review them before providing personal data, purchasing a product, or relying on information.

19. Website Availability and Security

GCG may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the Website without notice.

GCG does not guarantee that the Website will:

• Always be available;

• Operate without interruption or error;

• Be compatible with every device or browser;

• Be free from vulnerabilities, viruses, or harmful components; or

• Preserve information submitted during an interruption or technical failure.

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate device security, software updates, backups, and protective measures.

GCG may investigate suspected misuse or security incidents and may cooperate with service providers or lawful authorities where reasonably necessary.

20. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Website and its contents are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

GCG disclaims warranties, representations, and conditions concerning the Website, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of:

• Accuracy;

• Completeness;

• Currency;

• Availability;

• Merchantability;

• Fitness for a particular purpose;

• Non-infringement;

• Security; and

• Achievement of a particular commercial, operational, financial, employment, or investment result.

Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or obligation that cannot lawfully be excluded.

21. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, GCG and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential loss arising from or connected with:

• Access to or use of the Website;

• Inability to access or use the Website;

• Reliance on Website content;

• A decision made using Website information;

• A third-party website or service;

• A security incident outside GCG’s reasonable control;

• Loss of data, opportunity, revenue, profit, goodwill, or anticipated savings; or

• Unauthorised access to or alteration of a transmission or submission.

[Choose an appropriate direct-liability provision after counsel reviews the governing law:]

• Option A: GCG’s aggregate liability arising from use of the Website will not exceed [insert amount and currency].

• Option B: GCG will not be liable for direct loss arising solely from use of this free informational Website, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

• Option C: Delete a monetary cap and use a jurisdiction-specific limitation approved by counsel.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, deliberate misconduct, or another category that applicable law does not permit a party to exclude.

22. Responsibility for Misuse

[Optional—retain only if approved under the governing law.]

You are responsible for loss directly resulting from your unlawful use of the Website, intentional interference with its operation, infringement of GCG’s intellectual-property rights, or unauthorised submission of another person’s confidential information or personal data.

GCG reserves the right to pursue appropriate remedies in response to misuse.

23. Changes to the Website or These Terms

GCG may update the Website and these Terms periodically.

When these Terms are updated, the “Last Updated” date will be revised. Material changes may also be communicated through an additional Website notice where appropriate.

The updated Terms apply prospectively from their stated effective date. Your continued use of the Website after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by law.

24. Suspension and Termination

GCG may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Website where it reasonably believes that:

• You have breached these Terms;

• Your activity creates a security or legal risk;

• Your activity interferes with other users or the Website;

• Access must be restricted to comply with law or a lawful request; or

• The Website or relevant functionality is being discontinued.

Provisions that are intended by their nature to continue—including intellectual-property, disclaimer, liability, governing-law, and dispute provisions—will survive termination of access.

25. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any non-contractual obligations connected with them are governed by the laws of [insert country and, where applicable, state or region], without giving effect to conflict-of-law principles that would require the application of another jurisdiction’s laws.

The courts of [insert city, state or region, and country] will have [exclusive/non-exclusive] jurisdiction over disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Website.

[If arbitration is preferred, replace this section with a complete arbitration provision identifying the institution, rules, seat, language, number of arbitrators, and availability of interim court relief. Do not add a generic arbitration sentence without those details.]

Nothing in this section prevents GCG from seeking urgent injunctive or protective relief in a court with appropriate jurisdiction to protect intellectual property, confidential information, systems, or security.

If applicable consumer law gives you mandatory rights or permits you to bring proceedings elsewhere, those mandatory rights are not affected.

26. Severability

If a provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable where legally permitted.

If it cannot be preserved, it will be severed, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.

27. No Waiver

If GCG does not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not waive its right to enforce the provision later.

A waiver is effective only if it is made in writing by an authorised GCG representative.

28. Entire Understanding Concerning Website Use

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy where applicable, and any other terms expressly presented for a particular Website feature, form the entire understanding between you and GCG concerning ordinary use of the Website.

They do not replace or amend a confidentiality agreement, transaction agreement, employment agreement, supplier agreement, or other contract separately entered into by you and GCG.
