Terms of use & privacy policy
This page covers both the terms on which you use this website and how we handle information about you. It applies to thenorthyard.com and any pages under it (the “Site”). It does not cover any separate agreement you may sign with us.
Terms of use
01Agreement
By using the Site you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
02What the Site is — and is not
The Site describes who we are and the kinds of software businesses we look to buy and operate. It is provided for general information only.
- Nothing on the Site is an offer, or a commitment, to buy or sell any business, or to enter into any transaction. Any acquisition we make is subject to separate, signed definitive agreements, and to our own diligence; a description of what we do creates no obligation on us or on you.
- Nothing on the Site is an offer of, or a solicitation to buy, any security, investment or financial product, and nothing on it should be read as investment, legal, tax or financial advice. Any discussion of financing a specific acquisition happens privately and under separate agreements, never through this Site.
- Figures, timelines and descriptions on the Site are general and illustrative, may change, and are not promises.
03Contacting us through the Site
If you send us a message (through a form, a “book a call” link, or by email), you are asking us to get in touch — you are not entering any agreement, and we are not obliged to respond or to proceed with anything. Please don’t send us confidential or sensitive information through the Site before we’ve agreed in writing how it will be handled.
04Our content
The text, design, logos, marks and other material on the Site are ours or our licensors’, and are protected by law. You may view and share the Site for your own, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, republish, or use our name, logo or content to suggest we endorse or are affiliated with you, without our written permission.
05Acceptable use
Please don’t use the Site to break the law, to infringe anyone’s rights, to introduce malicious code, to scrape or harvest it at scale, or to interfere with how it runs or with anyone else’s use of it.
06Links to other sites
The Site may link to third-party sites we don’t control. We’re not responsible for their content or their privacy practices; visiting them is at your own risk.
07“As is”; no warranties
The Site is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties about it — including that it will be accurate, complete, uninterrupted or error-free — and we disclaim all implied warranties.
08Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from your use of the Site, and our total liability in connection with the Site will not exceed USD 100. Nothing here limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.
09Changes
We may update the Site and these Terms from time to time. Changes take effect when we post them, and the “Last updated” date above will change. Your continued use after that means you accept the update.
10Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and the courts located in Delaware will have jurisdiction, subject to any right you have under the law of your own country of residence.
Privacy policy
We keep this short and true to what the Site actually does.
01What this covers
How we handle personal information in connection with the Site. The Site has no user accounts, takes no payments, and hosts no product — so we collect far less than a typical app.
02What we collect
- What you give us. When you contact us through a form, a “book a call” link, or by emailing agnij@thenorthyard.com, we receive what you send — typically your name, email address, and anything you choose to write (and, if you mention it, your business or website). If you book a call, the scheduling is handled by Calendly, which receives what you enter to book it, under its own privacy policy.
- What we collect automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical data — IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed and referring page — to keep the Site running and secure. As the Site grows we may also use privacy-conscious analytics to understand how it is used; if we do, we’ll reflect it here.
03How we use it
To reply to you and follow up on a conversation you started; to evaluate a possible business relationship where you’ve raised one; to operate, secure and improve the Site; and to meet legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information, and we don’t use it for third-party advertising.
04Legal bases (for visitors in the EEA / UK)
We rely on our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries and running the Site; on your consent where we ask for it; and on legal obligation where one applies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
05Who we share it with
Only with service providers who help us run the Site and communicate — for example our website host, email provider and Calendly — and only so they can perform that service for us. We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect our rights, or as part of a business transaction. We don’t otherwise share it.
06Cookies
The Site uses only the cookies necessary for it to work. We don’t currently use advertising or tracking cookies. You can control or clear cookies through your browser at any time.
07How long we keep it
We keep enquiry and correspondence data for as long as needed to handle your request and any resulting relationship, and then for a reasonable period for our records and legal needs; automatically-collected data is kept only as long as useful for the purposes above.
08Your rights
Depending on where you live (including under the EU/UK GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain uses, and — for California residents — to know what we collect and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We don’t sell personal information, so there’s nothing to opt out of on that front. To exercise any right, email agnij@thenorthyard.com and we’ll respond as the law requires. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.
09International transfers
The North Yard is being established in the United States, and we and our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where we transfer personal information across borders, we rely on appropriate safeguards where the law requires them.
10Security
We take reasonable measures to protect personal information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we can’t guarantee absolute security.
11Children
The Site is meant for a professional, adult audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent age in your country), and we don’t knowingly collect their personal information.
12Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy; the “Last updated” date will change when we do.
13Contact
