Terms of Service

1. The Platform and these terms

Davis.one is operated by House Davis LLC ("House Davis", "we", "us"). These terms govern the Platform: davis.one, every hostname beneath it, and every site, service, environment or application that House Davis operates and that links to these terms, now or in future (together, the "Platform"). The Platform has two parts, and these terms treat them differently.

• The public site is open to anyone. It describes the outlook and activities of a private family office, requires no account, and asks nothing of a visitor beyond ordinary browsing.
• The member area is private. It is entered only with a seat issued by House Davis, and it holds whatever House Davis chooses to place there for the people it seats: a directory of members, their profiles, the family's genealogy and records, reports on the family office, and private environments in which members meet and work.

A member is a person who holds a seat. By using any part of the Platform you agree to these terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use it.

2. Financial information: informational only

House Davis is a private family office that owns and manages only its own capital. Anything on the Platform that touches money, companies, markets or technology, whether on the public site or in the member area, is published for information and for the family's own record. It is not:

• an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security, interest, token or other instrument, anywhere;
• investment, financial, tax, legal or accounting advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold anything;
• a research report, a rating, or an analysis prepared for anyone else's use;
• a prediction or guarantee that any company, security, technology or market will perform in any way.

House Davis LLC is not registered as an investment adviser, broker-dealer or investment company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or with any state or foreign authority, and does not act as one. Where the Platform mentions a company the House holds, it says so; that disclosure is transparency, not a recommendation. The House may buy, sell or hold any security it discusses at any time without notice, and its positions and views change.

Forward-looking statements. Statements on the Platform that are not historical fact, including statements about what the House expects, intends, plans, believes, anticipates or projects concerning companies, technologies, markets, the economy, or the House's own activities, capital, structure and plans, are forward-looking. They rest on assumptions that may prove wrong and are subject to risks and uncertainties, many outside the House's control; actual events and results may differ materially from anything expressed or implied. Such statements speak only as of the date they are made. House Davis undertakes no obligation to update or correct any of them, and any figures, models, estimates or financial information on the Platform are unaudited unless expressly stated otherwise. Any use of or reliance on such information is at your own risk.

3. No relationship; the Platform makes no offer

Use of the Platform does not create a client, advisory, partnership, joint-venture, employment or fiduciary relationship with House Davis LLC or with Ultraevum LLC, which are separate entities. House Davis manages its own capital; it does not manage capital for the public, does not advise the public, sells nothing on the Platform, and charges no fee for a seat. Nothing on the Platform, public or private, is an offer of, or a solicitation to acquire, any interest in House Davis, in any affiliate, trust, vehicle or holding, or in anything the Platform describes.

Gifts, bequests and support. House Davis is a family office built to steward the family's capital across generations and gratefully receives gifts, bequests and other support made to the family's benefit. Any gift, bequest, contribution or investment to or in House Davis or any vehicle it establishes is arranged directly with the office, by separate written agreement or instrument, with persons House Davis chooses and in the manner the law allows, and never through the Platform. The Platform may inform members about the office and its stewardship; it does not make, and nothing on it may be read as, an offer. No unsolicited proposal sent to House Davis creates any obligation.

4. Seats

There is no public sign-up. A seat is issued by House Davis, at its sole discretion and by invitation, to a specific person: a member of the family or household, a relative of any degree or branch of the line whom House Davis recognises as part of the greater House, a person House Davis chooses to admit, or a person who serves the family office, such as counsel, an adviser, or staff. Each seat carries only the permissions House Davis assigns to it, and the Platform shows a seat only what that seat may see.

The greater House. House Davis may, as it decides, extend to members benefits, gatherings, communications, and participation in the family's shared philanthropic and civic activities. A seat, and anything extended with it, is a courtesy of the House: it is not an ownership interest in House Davis or in anything it holds, carries no right to any distribution, return, vote or say in the House's affairs, and may be changed or withdrawn at any time. Nothing in these terms, and nothing offered to members, is an interest in any entity, trust, vehicle or holding.

• A seat for a child of the family is issued only with the consent of, and remains under the control of, a parent of the child who is a member, or of House Davis; that parent is responsible for the child's use of it.
• A seat for a person who serves the family office is scoped to that service, is held in addition to, and not in place of, the confidentiality and other duties of that person's engagement, and ends with it.

Seats are personal and may not be shared, transferred or lent. A seat signs in with a passkey held on the member's own device; the member is responsible for keeping that device and its unlock secure, and for telling House Davis promptly at the address below if a device is lost or a seat is used without authority. House Davis may suspend or revoke a seat, or change what it may see or do, at any time and for any reason, including at the member's own request, and may verify a member's identity, age or relationship to the family before issuing or continuing a seat.

5. What you contribute becomes part of the family record

A member may add to their own profile a portrait, links to their own web pages and public profiles, and personal details such as their name, date of birth, sex and current address, and may contribute information, photographs and documents to the family records. An administrator may enter or correct any of these on a member's behalf, and may enter information about members of the family, including its children, into the family records.

Understand what a contribution is. Everything a member enters, uploads or contributes to the member area is given to House Davis as archival information about the family, for the family's own permanent record. By contributing it, the member assigns to House Davis LLC all right, title and interest in the contribution that the member is able to assign, and, to the extent any right cannot be assigned, grants House Davis a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to hold, copy, display, adapt, correct, combine, and use it within the Platform and the family record, and to retain it for as long as House Davis chooses. A contribution cannot be withdrawn, and this grant cannot be revoked, by the member or by anyone claiming through them, for any reason, including a later change of mind; it survives the end of the seat and continues after the member's death. A member may later update their own entries, but every version is kept, House Davis may restore any earlier version, and House Davis alone decides what the record holds. By contributing, you confirm that the information is accurate, that you are entitled to provide it and to make this grant, and that any image or other content you upload is one you have the right to use and to give. Do not enter anything you do not want other members to see: the member area is private to seats, but everything in it is visible to every seat that can see the page.

6. Confidentiality of the member area

Everything in the member area is confidential to House Davis and its members. A member may not copy, capture, screenshot, record, export, publish, forward or otherwise disclose anything from the member area to any person who is not a member, or use it for any purpose other than the family's own, without House Davis's written permission. This obligation applies to the directory, profiles, the family records, the reports, and anything said or done in the member area's environments; it survives the end of a seat; and it is in addition to any duty a person owes under an engagement with the family office.

7. Reports and financial information in the member area

House Davis may publish in the member area periodic reports on the family office: its structure, capital, holdings, activities, plans and outlook, in a form of its choosing, and communications to the people it seats about the office and its stewardship. These are private family documents prepared by the House for the people it seats. They are unaudited unless stated otherwise, may contain estimates, models and forward-looking statements to which section 2 applies in full, and are not offering documents: no interest in House Davis, in any affiliate, in any trust, vehicle, property or holding of the family, or in anything the reports describe, is offered or sold to anyone by their publication; any gift, contribution or investment is arranged only as section 3 provides; and nothing in them is advice to any member. A member reads them under section 6.

8. The family record and the genealogy

The genealogy, the family records and members' profiles are one archive: the private property and private family history of House Davis LLC, compiled from its own research, from records, photographs and documents it has acquired, made, scanned or received, from information it already held, and from what members and relatives contribute. It may include genetic ancestry information that relatives have voluntarily provided to the family, or to a genealogy service on the family's account, and results as that service refines them, which House Davis holds in accordance with the terms under which it was provided and the law that applies to it. The archive is kept for the family's own permanent use. It is not a public registry, is not warranted complete or free of error, and is corrected as research improves.

What the archive holds, shows, corrects, restores or removes is decided by House Davis alone, acting through its manager. Being named in it, or having contributed to it, gives no one a right to have anything in it altered or removed. A member may propose a correction to their own entry through the address below, and may update their own profile; every version is kept, and House Davis may restore any record to what it should hold. Entries about living members of the family, whether entered by House Davis from what it knows or by a member, are the family's own record and stand at House Davis's decision. No one acquires any right in, over, or against the archive by being named in it, by contributing to it, or by holding a seat, and no member may delete, damage, falsify or degrade it; an attempt to do so is a breach of these terms, and House Davis will restore the record.

9. Children of the family

Anyone, including a child of the family, may read the public site; it requires no account and collects nothing from any visitor beyond ordinary server logs. The member area is different: a child of the family enters it only through a seat issued under section 4, with the consent and under the control of a parent who is a member, and anything a child enters there is entered under that parent's direction. House Davis may provide, within the member area, things for the children of the family to use, and may use age-appropriate settings and verification in doing so. Records about the children of the family, whether entered by a parent, by House Davis, or by a child under a parent's direction, are the family's own, made and kept in the exercise of the family's own parental and family rights, and House Davis may hold and use them within the member area to the fullest extent the law allows. Only House Davis decides what is kept about a child of the family; no other person acquires any right under these terms to inspect, add to, alter or remove such records.

10. Private environments

House Davis may operate, within the member area, private environments in which members are present together: rooms, worlds and spaces in which they meet, talk, play and work. These environments are House Davis's own, are entered only with a seat, and may be run on hostnames or services other than davis.one that House Davis operates or designates. Inside them: a member conducts themselves as section 13 requires; House Davis may moderate, record, log and keep what happens there as part of the family's own record, as the Privacy Policy describes, and members should expect that presence, movement, speech and text in a House environment are visible to the House; anything a member makes there is contributed to the family record under section 5; and House Davis may connect its environments with others, or not, entirely as it decides. Nothing about an environment that has not been made available is promised by these terms.

11. Non-members

These terms are an agreement between House Davis and the people who use the Platform. They confer no rights on anyone else. A person who does not hold a seat, whatever their relationship to a member or to a person named in the family records, has no right under these terms to access the member area, to obtain, inspect, correct or remove anything in it, or to require House Davis to do or refrain from doing anything. There are no third-party beneficiaries of these terms.

12. Legal process

House Davis does not act on requests or demands concerning the member area, the family records, or any member from any person who is not a member, or from any governmental body, agency or official, in any country, except as compelled by valid and enforceable legal process directed to House Davis LLC and served in accordance with law. Where such process is served, House Davis will assert every privilege and objection available to it and to the members concerned, will contest the process where there are grounds to do so, will notify the affected members unless prohibited by law, and will disclose or act only to the minimum the process actually compels. Nothing is disclosed, altered or removed voluntarily at the instance of anyone outside the family. House Davis preserves its records as it sees fit.

13. Acceptable use

You may not use the Platform to harass, impersonate, or harm anyone; attempt to access a seat, a page, an environment or data you are not permitted to see; circumvent or probe the sign-in, the permissions or any other control; copy, scrape, capture or redistribute the member area or the family records; use automated means to access the Platform without permission; reverse-engineer it; interfere with its operation; or use it for any unlawful purpose. House Davis keeps a record of every sign-in and administrative action, and acts on misuse, including by revoking the seat and by legal action.

14. Intellectual property

The House Davis name, coat of arms, text, design, software, environments, and the compiled genealogy, family record and reports are the property of House Davis LLC and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade-secret and other laws. What a member contributes to the member area is assigned or licensed to House Davis under section 5. What a member makes inside a private environment is contributed on the same terms. You may not reproduce the Platform's content without written permission, except for brief quotation from the public site with attribution.

15. Third-party links and services

Links on the Platform, including links members add to their own profiles, take you to services governed by their own terms and privacy policies; House Davis is not responsible for their content or practices. The Platform runs on hosting, database and other services provided by third parties, named in the Privacy Policy. Where members use a third-party service alongside the Platform, that use is governed by that service's terms, not these.

16. Changes to the Platform

The Platform evolves. House Davis may add, change, suspend or withdraw any part of it, any feature, any environment, and any content at any time, may offer features as experimental, and may move any part of it to a different hostname or provider, all without notice and without liability. Nothing in these terms obliges House Davis to build, keep or provide anything.

17. Disclaimer, limitation of liability, indemnity

The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, House Davis LLC, its members, managers, affiliates and the persons who serve it are not liable for any loss or damage arising from use of, reliance on, or inability to use the Platform or anything in it, including the family records, the reports and the environments, and their total liability for any claim relating to the Platform is limited to one hundred US dollars. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law. You will indemnify House Davis against any claim, loss or cost arising from your breach of these terms or your misuse of the Platform.

18. Governing law, venue, and use from outside the United States

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and any dispute arising from them or from the Platform is heard exclusively in the state or federal courts sitting in Mercer County, Ohio, to whose jurisdiction you submit; House Davis may also seek relief in any court with jurisdiction to protect its records, its property or its members. The Platform is operated from the United States. If you use it from elsewhere, you do so on your own initiative, you are responsible for compliance with your local law, and you consent to your information being processed in the United States as the Privacy Policy describes. House Davis may operate the Platform from, and be established in, any country it chooses, and reserves, and does not waive, every right, privilege and protection available to it and to its members under the law of any jurisdiction.

19. General

These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and House Davis about the Platform and replace any earlier terms. House Davis may update them by posting a revised version here with a new effective date; continued use after that date is acceptance. House Davis may assign these terms, and the Platform, to any successor, affiliate or entity it designates; you may not assign them. No failure to enforce a term is a waiver of it. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in force. Sections 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 17, 18 and 19 survive the end of any seat and any use of the Platform. Notices to House Davis go to the address below; notices to a member go to the member's seat or to any address the member has given.
