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 TROUVE or any of its affiliates. Nothing on the Site is to be construed as a solicitation to offer investment advice or services. Information about investing in TROUVE funds is only available in the form of private placement memoranda and other offering documents. These documents contain information to help investors evaluate TROUVE funds’ investment objectives, risks, fees and expenses, among other factors, before considering an investment.

Testimonials of partners/portfolio company executives are provided to demonstrate the benefits of working with the TROUVE team. They are not provided to solicit investors in a TROUVE fund. Some partners/executives featured in the testimonials have an interest in a TROUVE fund; such partner’s/executive’s testimonial is not offered on the basis of being an investor in a TROUVE fund but rather as a partner/executive who works with the TROUVE team.
Portfolio companies described in this Site and testimonial videos do not purport to represent all portfolio company investments made by TROUVE. 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.
Neither TROUVE nor the funds it manages are considered to be ESG-focused. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as determined appropriate and in its sole discretion, TROUVE takes certain ESG-considerations into account in the selection, management and investment decisions related to portfolio investments; however, the type of considerations and the weight given to such considerations may vary from investment to investment and remains subject to TROUVE’s discretion, fund investment objectives/constraints and any underlying fiduciary duties. Any discussion of ESG issues or results contained on this website 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 TROUVE’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment or other transfer in violation of this provision shall be void ab initio. TROUVE 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 TROUVE as joint venturers, co-employers, partners, or agents of each other, and neither you nor TROUVE 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 TROUVE 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 TROUVE 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.
The Site identifies a number of benefits inherent in TROUVE’s services and operations, although TROUVE is also subject to a number of material risks associated with these benefits, as further identified in each TROUVE fund’s definitive documents. Although TROUVE believes that it and its personnel will have competitive advantages in identifying, diligencing, monitoring, consulting, improving and/or ultimately selling investments on behalf of its funds, there can be no guarantee that TROUVE will be able to maintain such advantages over time, outperform third parties or the financial markets generally, or avoid losses. For additional information regarding risks and potential conflicts of interest regarding an investment in TROUVE funds, please see the risk factors in such fund’s private placement memorandum.
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.”
