01Not Professional Advice

Bootstrap Your Business does not give legal, tax, accounting, money, investment, insurance, medical, employment, or other licensed professional advice.

Do not use Bootstrap Your Business in place of advice from a trained professional who knows your situation.

It is up to you to decide when you need professional advice.

02AI-Generated Information

Some Bootstrap Your Business features use artificial intelligence (AI).

Information made by AI may be incomplete, wrong, out of date, or not right for your situation.

Check important information before you rely on it.

AI suggestions, summaries, research, drafts, advice and explanations are meant to help your own judgment, not replace it.

You, the founder, are still responsible for final decisions and actions.

03Business Decisions and Results

Starting and running a business is uncertain and risky.

Bootstrap Your Business may help you:

• organize information;
• weigh your options;
• spot guesses you are making;
• look at proof;
• prepare business materials;
• understand possible next steps; and
• make better-informed decisions.

But Freedom Compass Ventures does not promise:

• business success;
• getting customers;
• sales or profit;
• loans or investment;
• grant money;
• that people will want to buy;
• that a business idea is proven;
• a certain income;
• a certain business result; or
• that you won't lose money or fail.

Your results depend on your decisions, how you carry them out, the market, your customers, competitors, what you have to work with, timing, and other things we can't control.

04Research and External Information

Bootstrap Your Business may include or use information from public sources, websites, research tools, outside companies, or other sources.

Outside information may:

• have mistakes;
• go out of date;
• be incomplete;
• change without warning; or
• mean different things in different situations.

Check information yourself when getting it right matters for a decision about the law, money, taxes, rules, contracts, or anything else important.

05Founder Responsibility

Bootstrap Your Business is built to help founders build their own understanding and judgment.

You are still responsible for:

• deciding whether a suggestion is right for you;
• checking important information;
• deciding whether you have enough proof;
• choosing whether and how to act;
• following the laws and rules that apply to you; and
• getting professional advice when you need it.

Bootstrap Your Business never quietly makes final business decisions for you.

06Estimates, Forecasts, and Scenarios

Any estimates, forecasts, money scenarios, pricing examples, market sizes, or similar math in Bootstrap Your Business are examples only, unless we clearly say otherwise.

They may be based on guesses that don't fit your situation.

Real results may be very different.

07Templates, Documents, and Generated Materials

Bootstrap Your Business may give you templates, draft documents, suggested wording, checklists, worksheets and AI-made materials.

These are starting points.

We don't promise that they:

• meet legal requirements;
• fit the rules where you live;
• cover every issue that matters;
• are complete; or
• fit your business.

It is up to you to review and change them before you use them.

08Third-Party Products and Services

Bootstrap Your Business may mention, link to, or connect with products, services, websites, software or companies run by others.

Unless we clearly say otherwise, mentioning another company does not mean we promise, recommend or partner with it, or that it is right for your needs.

Other companies' services follow their own terms and policies.

09Changes in Laws, Markets, and Technology

Laws, rules, platform rules, markets, prices, technology, AI and business practices can change fast.

Information that was right when it was written may later go out of date.

It is up to you to check today's requirements when they matter to your decision.

10Use at Your Own Judgment

You use Bootstrap Your Business, and its information, tools, suggestions and materials, based on your own judgment and choice.

Nothing in this Disclaimer takes away rights or protections that the law says can't be taken away.
