Using this website means that you accept these terms—by visiting this website you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree please do not use or access our site.

This Terms of Use Agreement applies to our services available under the domain and subdomains of tynax.com (the "Exchange"). For simplicity, we refer to Tynax Inc. as ‘Tynax’, ‘us’ or ‘we’. Similarly, this Agreement may refer to you as ‘you’, ‘member’, ‘user’, or ‘viewer’.

You must read, agree with and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this Terms of Use Agreement and the Privacy Policy, which include those terms and conditions expressly set out below and those incorporated by reference, before you may become a member or access the Exchange.

1—Over 18 Years of Age

The Exchange provides a public forum for members to exchange ideas and information. As such, children, or minors, using the Exchange can communicate with strangers, and may be exposed to inappropriate content. We therefore, restrict access to the Exchange to adults. Please do not use this website, or send any personal information to us, if you are under 18 years of age.

2—Privacy

Registration Data and certain other information about you is subject to our Privacy Policy.

3—Description of Service

The Exchange provides a venue to gather technology-oriented information, exchange ideas, information, to market technology assets and find technologies to license or acquire.

The Exchange provides you with access to a rich collection of resources, including, various communications tools, forums, personalized content and branded programming (the "Service"). You also understand and agree that the Service may include advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for us to provide the Service. You also understand and agree that the service may include certain communications from us, such as service announcements, administrative messages and newsletters, and that these communications are considered part of our membership and you will not be able to opt out of receiving them. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new properties, shall be subject to this Terms of Use Agreement.

You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that Tynax Inc. assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings. You are responsible for obtaining access to the Service and that access may involve third party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). You are responsible for those fees, including those fees associated with the display or delivery of advertisements. In addition, you must provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Service.

Tynax is not always involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. As a result, Tynax has little or no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the Listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to pay for items. We cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction. Consequently, we do not transfer legal ownership of items or technology assets from the seller to the buyer, and nothing in this Agreement shall modify the governing provisions of Ca. Com. Code § 2401(2) and Uniform Com. Code § 2-401(2), under which legal ownership of an item is transferred upon delivery of the item to the buyer by the seller.

4—No Agency

Tynax Inc. is not an auctioneer and does not act as your agent, partner or joint venturer. In some cases, you may simply use the Exchange to simply gather information. In other cases, your involvement may become more significant—you may become a broker (Listing technologies on the Exchange for your own clients) , a message board moderator, a professional service provider (Listing your services offerings on the Exchange) and/or you may enter into collaborative sales and marketing promotions with Tynax. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, and duly authorized by officers of Tynax Inc., you understand the no agency relationship exists between us. You are not allowed to represent us or make commitments on our behalf.

Although we offer services that may assist your company to raise funds and find appropriate M&A transactions, Tynax is not a securities broker and you agree to waive any rights that Tynax is licensed or registered in that regard.

5—Membership Eligibility

Our services are available only to, and may only be used by individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, our services are not available to children (persons under the age of 18) or to temporarily or indefinitely suspended members. If you do not qualify, please do not use our Exchange. Further, your Tynax account (including feedback) and User ID may not be transferred or sold to another party. If you are registering as a business entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind the entity to this Agreement.

6—Your Registration Obligations

You agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form (such information being the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).

7—Member Account, Password & Security

You will receive a password and account designation upon completing the Service's registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.

In order to help some users to collaborate with team members and clients in the creation of Listings, we provide a feature that allows Listing owners to appoint editors and give them the ability to amend Listings. You understand that if you appoint an editor, then that individual, or another individual with that username and password will be able to modify, and even delete, your Listings. We urge caution in the appointment of editors.

8—Member Conduct

You understand that all information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages or other materials ("Content"), whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from which such Content originated. This means that you, and not Tynax, are responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available via the Service.

You acknowledge that Tynax may not pre-screen Content, but that Tynax and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to remove any Content that is available via the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, Tynax and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates this Terms of Use Agreement or is otherwise objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Content. In this regard, you acknowledge that you may not rely on any Content created by Tynax or submitted to us, including, without limitation, information in Tynax Message Boards, and in all other parts of the Service.

You acknowledge, consent and agree that Tynax may access, preserve, and disclose your account information and Content if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce this Terms of Use Agreement; (c) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third-parties; (d) respond to your requests for customer service; or (e) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Tynax, its users and the public.

You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the Service, including your Content, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.

You understand that the Service and software embodied within the Service may include security components that permit digital materials to be protected, and use of these materials is subject to usage rules set by Tynax and/or content providers who provide content to the Service. You may not attempt to override or circumvent any of the usage rules embedded into the Service. Any unauthorized reproduction, publication, further distribution or public exhibition of the materials provided on the Service, in whole or in part, is strictly prohibited.

9—Content Submitted or Otherwise Made Available for Inclusion on the Service

You are solely responsible for the content of your information, and Tynax acts merely as a conduit for its distribution and publication. You agree to remove out-of-date and inaccurate Listings and content you have submitted to the Exchange.

We have the right, in our sole discretion, to accept or reject any technology Listing or posting at any time.

Tynax does not claim ownership of Content you submit or make available for inclusion on the Service. However, with respect to Content you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Service, you grant Tynax the following world-wide, royalty free and non-exclusive license(s), as applicable:

a. With respect to Content you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of Tynax Message Boards, the license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform and publicly display such Content on the Service solely for the purposes of providing and promoting the specific Tynax Group to which such Content was submitted or made available. This license exists only for as long as you elect to continue to include such Content on the Service and will terminate at the time you remove or Tynax removes such Content from the Service.
b. With respect to photos, graphics, audio or video you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible area of the Service, the license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform and publicly display such Content on the Service solely for the purpose for which such Content was submitted or made available. This license exists only for as long as you elect to continue to include such Content on the Service and will terminate at the time you remove or we remove such Content from the Service.
c. With respect to Content other than photos, graphics, audio or video you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Service other than Tynax Message Boards, the perpetual, irrevocable and fully sublicensable license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display such Content (in whole or in part) and to incorporate such Content into other works in any format or medium now known or later developed.

"Publicly accessible" areas of the Service are those areas of Tynax network of properties that are intended by Tynax to be available to the general public. By way of example, publicly accessible areas of the Service would include Message Boards.

10—Term of Listings

You agree to pay the applicable Listing Fees. Unless otherwise agreed, your Listing will be valid for one year from the date of posting. Of course, you may delist a technology Listing at any time to the extent that you have succeeded in licensing or otherwise transferring such technology.

11—Identity Verification

We use techniques to verify the accuracy of the information our users provide us when they register on the Exchange. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, Tynax cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity. You may also wish to consider using a third party escrow service or services that provide additional user verification.

12—Release

Because we are a venue, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release Tynax (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint venturers, shareholders, owners and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, or the business entity you represent is subject to California law, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

13—Acceptance of Risk

We do not control the information provided by other users that is made available through our system. You may find other user's information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution, common sense, and practice safe trading when using the Exchange. Please note that there are also risks of dealing with underage persons or people acting under false pretense. Additionally, there may also be risks dealing with international trade and foreign nationals. By using the Exchange, you agree to accept such risks and Tynax is not responsible for the acts or omissions of users on the Exchange.

14—Listings & Listing Fees

A Listing ("Listing") refers to any form of online advertisement posted on the Exchange. This includes postings of Technology For Sale and Technology Wanted advertisements.

You agree to pay a Listing Fee of $95 ("Listing Fee") for each Listing.

Listings that you post on the Exchange must be anonymous. Tynax has the right to remove any patent numbers, email addresses, website addresses, telephone numbers, company names, individual names, or product names from your Listings and to edit such Listings in any way Tynax deems appropriate to remove any content that allows a viewer to make contact with you or the owner of the Listing directly.

You must be legally able to sell or license the Listings that you post on the Exchange. Your Listing must describe your technology and all terms relevant to the sale or licensing thereof.

Your Listings may only include text descriptions, graphics, pictures and other content relevant to the sale of that item. All listed items must be listed in an appropriate category.

15—Requests for Information & Tynax Sales Leads

Visitors on the Exchange viewing your Listings may submit a "Tell Me More" form requesting further information. A Tynax Sales Lead ("Tynax Sales Lead") is the email address or contact information of a party that has expressed an interest in your Listing through a "Tell Me More" request or another channel.  Tynax will forward Tynax Sales Leads to you using the email address you submitted when you registered with Tynax. In addition to the Listing Fee and Transaction Commission, you agree to pay Tynax a fee of $95 for each Tynax Sales Lead you receive ("Tynax Sales Lead Fee").  

16—Transaction Commissions

In addition to the Listing Fees, and the Tynax Sales Lead Fee, you agree to pay Tynax a twenty five percent transaction commission (‘Commission’) on the Total Transaction Value of Transactions resulting from a Tynax Sales Lead.

Transaction (“Transaction”) is defined as an arrangement involving any form of technology transfers, development projects or licensing agreements involving your Listings on the Exchange. Transactions include patent sales, technology licensing agreements, technology acquisitions, research and development projects and company merger and acquisition agreements.

Total Transaction Value (“Total Transaction Value”) is defined as the sum of all financial benefits you generate from Transactions including, but not limited to cash, shares or equity in one or more of the buyer or licensees company’s, sale of one or more of your assets, debt assumption, debt forgiveness, OEM agreements, distribution agreements, technology licenses and royalties. Transactions are sometimes channeled through employment agreements—unusual agreements that involve the employee receiving compensation above and beyond the prevailing market rate. In this case, the difference between the compensation agreed in the employment and the prevailing market rate will contribute to the Total Transaction Value.

The Commission is payable when you receive the funds comprising the Total Transaction Value—if this consists of several partial payments, then pro-rata partial payments will be payable to Tynax. The Total Transaction Value may be in the form of cash or other currencies such as stock, stock options and warrants. You agree to pay Tynax the Commission in cash. A current cash market value will be placed on any non-cash component of the Total Transaction Value.

It may be difficult to calculate the value of a Transaction resulting from a Technology Wanted Listing.  Therefore, you agree to pay a minimum Commission of $20,000 (twenty thousand dollars) on each Transaction resulting from a Technology Wanted Listing.

Tynax reserves the right to change the above commission schedule at any time. All future Listings you create will be covered by the commission schedule in effect at the time of posting on the Exchange; however, the commission schedule applicable to a specific Listing will not be changed after the date of such Listing without your consent.

17—Transaction Status

At our request, you agree to provide us with names of any parties contacting you regarding technologies listed or technology needs posted with Tynax, other than parties contacted by you directly as a result of your own marketing efforts. Solely for the purposes of verifying the commissions due, you agree to notify Tynax periodically of the status of your technologies listed, technology needs or responses to others technology needs posted with Tynax including the status of any negotiations or transfers of your technologies or technologies responsive to your needs, the financial terms thereof and any value that has been received or to be paid by you. To confirm such data, Tynax may have your relevant books and records examined by an independent public accounting firm selected by Tynax from time to time (but not more than once with regard to any calendar year). If any such examination reveals that the payments due Tynax for any calendar year were more than 110% of the payments actually made for such year, you agree to pay for the reasonable cost of such examination.

18—Search Agents and Customized Information Services

We offer premium and customized search agents and information services. If you purchase such a service, you agree that you will not republish this information, or otherwise make it available, in whole or in part, to other individuals outside your organization. If this information service is provided under a separate agreement, please refer to that agreement for the binding terms and conditions of sale.

19—Termination

You agree that Tynax may, under certain circumstances and without prior notice, immediately terminate your account, and access to the Service. Cause for such termination shall include, but not be limited to, (a) breaches or violations of this Terms of Use Agreement or other incorporated agreements or guidelines, (b) requests by law enforcement or other government agencies, (c) a request by you (self-initiated account deletions), (d) discontinuance or material modification to the Service (or any part thereof), (e) unexpected technical or security issues or problems, and (f) extended periods of inactivity. Termination of your Tynax account includes (a) removal of access to all offerings within the Service, including but not limited to Message Boards and Alerts, (b) deletion of your password and all related information, files and content associated with or inside your account (or any part thereof), and (c) barring further use of the Service. Further, you agree that all terminations for cause shall be made in Tynax's sole discretion and that Tynax shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your account or access to the Service.

Without limiting any other remedies, Tynax may suspend or terminate your account if we suspect that you (by conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise) have engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with the Exchange.

You agree that we may remove the content you have posted, submitted or otherwise made available for inclusion on the Service if we decide it is harmful, misleading or otherwise inappropriate for our viewers.

20—Access and Service Interference

You agree that you will not: (i) take any action that imposes, or may impose in our sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; (ii) copy, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, distribute or publicly display any content (except for your information) from the Exchange without the prior written permission of Tynax and the appropriate third party, as applicable; (iii) interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Exchange or any activities conducted on the Exchange; or (iv) bypass any robot exclusion headers or other measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Exchange.

22—We do Not Guarantee Accuracy

Tynax is not responsible for the accuracy of Listing descriptions and other information you may find on the Exchange.
