These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Banneker operations portal—including the public site at bannekerops.com and the Banneker operating partner and portfolio workspace application (the “Platform”) provided by Banneker Partners LLC (“Banneker,” “we,” or “us”). By using the Platform, you agree to these Terms. Banneker’s website terms and privacy practices for bannekerpartners.com and related services are described in our corporate policy, which applies to your general relationship with Banneker’s public sites and may supplement these Terms where relevant.
Eligibility and access
The Platform is offered only to individuals who have been granted access by Banneker or an authorized administrator, including through a valid invitation or firm-approved account. You must use the Platform in compliance with your employment or engagement obligations and your organization’s policies. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Platform.
Accounts and security
You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your account. You must provide accurate information and promptly notify your administrator of any unauthorized use or security incident you become aware of.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Access or attempt to access data, accounts, or systems you are not authorized to use;
- Interfere with or disrupt the Platform, circumvent security controls, or probe for vulnerabilities except as expressly authorized in writing;
- Use the Platform to violate applicable law, infringe others’ rights, or upload malware or harmful code;
- Scrape, resell, or commercially exploit the Platform outside the scope of your organization’s agreement with Banneker;
- Misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or use the service in any way that could harm Banneker, portfolio companies, or other users.
Confidentiality and portfolio information
Materials available through the Platform may include non-public, confidential, or proprietary information regarding Banneker, portfolio companies, and counterparties. You will treat such information in accordance with applicable agreements, nondisclosure obligations, and instructions from your organization. You may not disclose Platform content to third parties except as authorized.
Your content and license to operate
You retain your rights in content you submit. To the extent necessary to provide the Platform, you grant Banneker a non-exclusive license to host, process, copy, display, and create derivative works (for example, formatted reports or AI-assisted summaries) as reasonably required to operate, secure, and improve the service for you and your organization, consistent with your firm’s agreement with Banneker.
Third-party services
Optional features may rely on third parties (for example, Google or Microsoft sign-in or calendar). Those services are governed by their respective terms and privacy policies. Banneker is not responsible for third-party services you choose to enable.
AI-generated output
Where the Platform offers AI-assisted features, outputs may be incomplete or inaccurate. You are responsible for reviewing and validating any AI-generated content before relying on it for business, legal, or investment decisions. AI features are not a substitute for professional judgment or advice.
Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Platform is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Banneker disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, except where such disclaimers are not legally permitted. Nothing on the Platform is an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy securities.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, Banneker and its affiliates, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Platform. Banneker’s aggregate liability for claims arising out of these Terms or the Platform is limited to the greater of (a) the amounts you paid Banneker for the Platform in the twelve months before the claim or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars, if no fees apply—unless a separate written agreement between Banneker and your organization provides otherwise, in which case that agreement controls for enterprise customers.
Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the Platform for violation of these Terms, security risk, legal requirements, or at the direction of your organization. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including confidentiality, disclaimers, limitations, and dispute terms) will survive termination.
Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict-of-law rules, except where your organization’s master agreement with Banneker specifies a different governing law or venue for Platform-related disputes.
Changes
We may modify these Terms by posting an updated version and revising the “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance unless applicable law requires a different process.

Questions about these Terms or the Platform may be directed to your firm administrator or to admin@bannekerpartners.com.
