Terms of Use

Draft for counsel review. Items in [brackets] require a business or legal decision before publication. These terms govern visitors to this website only; use of the CASPOMA platform is governed by the License Agreement.

1. Agreement to these terms

This website is operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME — COUNSEL] (“CASPOMA”, “we”). By using caspoma.com you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

2. What this site is

caspoma.com is the marketing and editorial site for the CASPOMA platform — software that investment groups use to maintain a member-facing system of record. The site describes the product, publishes editorial content, and lets you contact us.

3. What CASPOMA is not

This section matters more than any other on this page, so it is written plainly:

• We do not sell casks. Nothing on this site is an offer to sell, or an invitation to buy, whisky casks or any other asset. Investment groups that use our software sell to and contract with their own members on their own terms; CASPOMA is not a party to those transactions.
• We do not give investment advice. Nothing on this site — including articles in our Insights section — constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Editorial content reflects the author’s views at the date of publication and may become outdated.
• We are not a regulated firm. CASPOMA is a software company. We are not authorised or regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority or any equivalent financial regulator, and nothing on this site should be read as suggesting otherwise.
• Casks are unregulated assets. If you are considering cask ownership through any investment group or merchant, be aware that whisky casks are generally not regulated investments, are typically not covered by statutory compensation schemes, and can fall in value as well as rise. Take independent advice before committing money.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the site: no attempts to gain unauthorised access, probe or disrupt it, scrape it at scale, submit unlawful or deceptive content through our forms, or use it to send unsolicited communications.

5. Our content

The content of this site — text, design, graphics, and the CASPOMA name and marks — belongs to us or our licensors. You may read, link to, and quote briefly from the site with attribution; you may not republish substantial parts of it commercially without our written permission.

6. Third-party sites

Links from this site — including links to investment groups that use the platform — are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for the content or practices of other sites.

7. No warranty; limitation of liability

The site is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, this website. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, [including — per governing law, e.g. death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud — COUNSEL].

8. Changes

These terms are versioned. Each published version carries a version number and an effective date, and every previous version remains permanently readable at its own address. The version in force is the one shown at /terms.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION — COUNSEL], and disputes are subject to [COURTS / ARBITRATION — COUNSEL].
