Terms of Use

Introduction

Welcome to www.buildc.com (the “Site”). Build Collective™ (“Build Collective”) is the brand used to describe, and consists of, a collection of investment fund and other entities with common (but not necessarily identical) principal ownership. This Site is maintained and operated by BC Mgmt, Inc., which provides administrative and other services to such entities. In accordance with industry practice, the Site sometimes uses terminology that may be interpreted to suggest that our firm is actually a single entity. However, there is no such single entity and all of the entities that comprise our firm have their own separate legal existence. In accordance with industry custom, certain individuals associated with our firm may have titles that include the words “partner” or “general partner.” Those titles are not intended to imply that any such individual is actually a “partner” of any partnership or that any specific partnership exists.

Please read these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, which governs our data collection and use of personal information, and is incorporated into and is a part of this Terms of Use by this reference, before using our Site. By using our Site, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth herein, which govern your use of the Site and our privacy practices.
