Terms and Conditions

1. Operator and Scope

HowToBuySaaS is owned and operated by Techlithic Solutions LLC.

In these Terms, "HowToBuySaaS", "HTBS", "Techlithic", "we", "us", and "our" refer to Techlithic Solutions LLC operating the HowToBuySaaS platform.

These Terms apply to the public website at https://www.howtobuysaas.com, HTBS accounts and web applications, and other services operated under the HowToBuySaaS brand.

2. Eligibility and Authority

You must be legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to purchase HTBS services, operate a marketplace account, submit a private deal opportunity, or access private investment or acquisition information.

Users participating in private marketplace, fundraising, investment, acquisition or paid commercial services must be at least 18 years old.

If you use HTBS on behalf of a company, fund, partnership, agency, organization or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

3. Accounts and Registration

Certain features require an HTBS account. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information when creating or maintaining an account.

• You are responsible for protecting your login credentials.
• You are responsible for activity performed through your account unless caused by an HTBS security failure.
• You must not impersonate another person, founder, company, investor, fund or authorized representative.
• You must not create accounts to evade restrictions, moderation, payment requirements or access controls.
• You must promptly notify HTBS if you reasonably believe your account has been compromised.

HTBS may request reasonable information to confirm account ownership, company authority or marketplace eligibility.

4. Public SaaS Listings and Product Profiles

HowToBuySaaS may publish public profiles for SaaS and software products. Profiles may include product descriptions, categories, features, pricing references, screenshots, logos, links, vendor-supplied information and HTBS-created content.

Submitting a SaaS

Users submitting products must have the right to provide the submitted information, branding and media.

Submission does not guarantee publication. HTBS may review, approve, decline, edit, categorize, update, suspend or remove a listing where reasonably necessary for quality, accuracy, policy compliance or platform operation.

Claiming a SaaS Profile

A founder, employee, agency or authorized representative may request control of an existing SaaS profile. HTBS may request reasonable evidence of authorization.

Product Information

SaaS pricing, features, availability, integrations and other details can change. Users should verify material purchasing information directly with the applicable vendor before making a purchase decision.

5. Private SaaS Marketplace and Deal Facilitation

HTBS operates private marketplace workflows for SaaS fundraising, investment and business acquisition opportunities.

Founder Submissions

Founders may submit information about a SaaS company or business for review. HTBS may request additional information or an introductory discussion before determining whether a submission is suitable for the marketplace.

Approval of a submission means only that HTBS has accepted it for the applicable marketplace workflow. Approval is not an audit, investment recommendation, valuation opinion, certification or guarantee of transaction quality.

Certain founder listings may require a paid plan or upgrade before the opportunity becomes live in the private marketplace.

Investor and Acquirer Access

Investors and acquirers may be asked to provide information about their investment or acquisition criteria during onboarding.

Access to private opportunities may require an applicable paid plan and remains subject to marketplace rules, account status and any opportunity-specific restrictions.

Introductions

HTBS may introduce relevant founders, investors and acquirers, coordinate meetings, provide internal messaging functionality, and assist parties in progressing conversations.

HTBS may participate in marketplace communications for administration, support, moderation or mediation.

HTBS Role

6. Confidentiality and Private Marketplace Conduct

Private marketplace information may include business metrics, founder information, financial information, product data, customer information, transaction expectations and other non-public material.

If you receive non-public information through HTBS, you agree to use it only for legitimate evaluation of the relevant opportunity and in accordance with any applicable NDA, marketplace rule or access condition.

• Do not republish or publicly distribute private marketplace information.
• Do not scrape, harvest or compile private marketplace data.
• Do not share confidential information with unauthorized third parties.
• Do not use private information for competitive intelligence unrelated to a genuine transaction evaluation.
• Do not contact a company's customers, employees or other stakeholders using private marketplace information unless authorized.
• Protect downloaded or received documents using reasonable security measures.

Access to private information may be revoked when HTBS reasonably believes confidentiality, marketplace rules or legitimate participant interests are at risk.

Additional confidentiality requirements may apply through an NDA or other agreement between marketplace participants.

7. NDA, Indication of Interest and LOI Workflows

HTBS may provide functionality that helps marketplace participants send, receive, accept, execute or manage NDAs, indications of interest, letters of intent or related transaction communications.

These features are provided as marketplace workflow tools. HTBS does not provide legal advice regarding whether a document is suitable, complete, enforceable or appropriate for your transaction.

Where a platform feature supports electronic acceptance or signature, users consent to using electronic records and signatures to the extent permitted by applicable law.

8. Paid Plans, Payments and Billing

HowToBuySaaS may offer free and paid products and services, including public listing upgrades, private marketplace plans, investor or acquirer access, software-selection services, advertising, sponsorships and other commercial offerings.

Prices and Orders

• Prices and package contents may change over time.
• The price applicable to your purchase will be the price shown or agreed when the order is confirmed.
• Taxes, payment-processing charges or currency conversion may apply where relevant.
• Payment terms may also be specified in a checkout page, invoice, proposal, insertion order, order form or separate agreement.

Renewals

If a subscription is described as recurring, it may renew according to the billing terms presented at purchase until cancelled in accordance with the applicable plan terms.

Refunds

Refund eligibility depends on the service purchased and any applicable checkout terms, proposal, invoice, order form, written agreement or service-specific refund policy.

Nothing in these Terms limits any refund or cancellation right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Payment Providers

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. Their own terms and privacy practices may apply to the payment transaction.

9. SaaS Growth, Advertising and Sponsored Services

HTBS may provide commercial services such as advertising, sponsored content, newsletter sponsorship, launch promotion, marketplace visibility and other SaaS growth services.

The scope, deliverables, placement, timing and price of a campaign may be specified on the relevant service page, proposal, invoice, order form or written agreement.

No Performance Guarantee

Unless expressly agreed in writing, HTBS does not guarantee a particular number of impressions, clicks, leads, conversions, sales, search rankings, organic traffic, funding opportunities or other commercial outcome.

Sponsored Content

Commercial content may be identified as sponsored, partner content, advertising or another appropriate disclosure.

Payment for a commercial service does not purchase a favorable independent editorial review, software ranking, comparison verdict or recommendation.

Paid outbound links may be qualified using appropriate sponsored or nofollow attributes under HTBS publishing policy.

10. Editorial Content, Reviews, Rankings and Affiliate Relationships

HowToBuySaaS publishes software reviews, comparisons, alternatives, buying guides, articles and other informational content.

Content may be based on independent research, publicly available information, vendor-supplied information, first-party testing where performed, editorial analysis, or a combination of these sources.

HTBS does not represent that every product profile or review has been personally tested unless the relevant content specifically states that testing occurred.

Affiliate Relationships

HTBS may earn commissions when users click certain links or purchase products from third parties. Where appropriate, affiliate or commercial relationships may be disclosed.

Commercial and Editorial Separation

A vendor's purchase of advertising, sponsored content or another commercial service does not automatically determine an independent editorial recommendation.

Additional details are available in our Editorial Policy.

11. User Content and Submitted Materials

You retain ownership of content you own and submit to HowToBuySaaS, subject to the limited licenses required to operate the applicable service.

Public Content

If you submit information intended for public publication, such as a public SaaS listing, company description, logo, screenshot, review, comment or contributed article, you grant Techlithic Solutions LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, format, display, publish and distribute that content as reasonably necessary to operate and promote the relevant HTBS service.

Private Marketplace Content

Information submitted specifically for a private marketplace workflow is not licensed to HTBS for unrestricted public publication.

Your Representations

You should review the applicable third-party terms and policies before purchasing or using a third-party service.

16. Privacy, Cookies and Data Protection

18. Disclaimers and No Warranties

22. Changes to These Terms

HTBS may update these Terms as our platform, services, business model or legal obligations change.

When we update these Terms, we will revise the "Last Updated" date displayed on this page.

Where a change is material and additional notice is appropriate or legally required, we may provide notice through the platform, account communications or email.

Continued use of HTBS after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms where permitted by applicable law.

23. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms and disputes arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except where mandatory law requires otherwise.

Before commencing formal proceedings, you and Techlithic Solutions LLC agree to make a reasonable good-faith effort to resolve the dispute through written communication.

Unless applicable mandatory law provides otherwise, disputes that cannot be resolved informally will be subject to the jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in Delaware, United States.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief where reasonably necessary to protect confidential information, intellectual property, platform security or other rights.

24. General Terms

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with applicable policies, service-specific terms, order forms, invoices and written agreements, constitute the applicable agreement between you and HTBS regarding the relevant services.

Service-Specific Terms

A particular paid service, campaign, marketplace plan or transaction workflow may be subject to additional terms. If service-specific written terms directly conflict with these general Terms, the more specific terms will control for that service.

Severability

If a provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

No Waiver

Failure by HTBS to enforce a provision does not waive our right to enforce that provision later.

Force Majeure

HTBS will not be responsible for delay or failure caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including major internet outages, hosting failures, natural disasters, government action, war, civil unrest, labor disruption or widespread infrastructure failure.
