Terms & Conditions

By accessing or using the BABEN website, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

You agree to use the BABEN website lawfully and respectfully. You may not misuse the site, interfere with its operation, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to its systems or information.

Content on the BABEN website — including text, graphics, logos, the BABEN name, and related branding — is owned by or licensed to BABEN | Bay Area Business Elevation Network. You may not copy, reproduce, or distribute our content without permission.

When you submit information through our forms or other features, you are responsible for the accuracy of what you provide and for ensuring you have the right to share it. You agree not to submit unlawful, misleading, or infringing content.

Our website may link to or reference third-party websites and resources. BABEN does not control and is not responsible for the content, practices, or availability of those external sites.

BABEN events, including speakers, schedules, locations, programming, and availability, are subject to change. We strive to share accurate details, but event specifics may be updated or adjusted at any time.

BABEN is a relationship-first community. We ask all participants to treat one another with respect. The following are not permitted within BABEN:

• Spam or unsolicited mass communication.
• Harassment or disrespectful behavior.
• Unauthorized solicitation.
• Contact harvesting or misuse of member information.
• Any conduct that undermines the relationship-first nature of the community.

We believe in relationships before transactions. Members are encouraged to add value and build genuine connections rather than treat the community as a lead-generation channel.

Introductions facilitated through BABEN are relationship-building opportunities. They are not endorsements, recommendations, or guarantees of any kind about a person, business, or opportunity.

You are responsible for conducting your own due diligence before entering any business, investment, professional, or financial relationship arising from BABEN interactions. BABEN does not verify or warrant the background, qualifications, or representations of any participant.

BABEN does not guarantee any business results, leads, referrals, partnerships, revenue, investment performance, or other outcomes. Participation in BABEN is an opportunity to build relationships and learn — not a guarantee of specific results.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BABEN | Bay Area Business Elevation Network and its affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from your use of the website or participation in BABEN activities. [Requires confirmation: This limitation-of-liability language should be reviewed by legal counsel before publication.]

These Terms do not currently include payment, cancellation, membership, refund, arbitration, governing-law, or venue provisions. [Requires confirmation: If any of these should apply to BABEN, please confirm with ownership or legal counsel so they can be added.]

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
