4Intended Audience and Purpose of the Site

The Site is intended to provide general information about Rambam and its Services to scientific partners, prospective portfolio companies, investors and co-investors, business partners, and other visitors. The Site is not directed at the general public for the purpose of soliciting investment, and Content on the Site should not be relied upon for that or any other purpose. Rambam reserves the right to restrict, suspend, or condition access to all or part of the Site to particular categories of Users or jurisdictions, at its sole discretion.

5Restricted Jurisdictions

The Site and its Content are not directed at, and must not be relied upon by, any person in any jurisdiction where such use would be contrary to local law or regulation, including, without limitation, any person in the United States for the purposes of an offer or sale of securities absent an applicable exemption. By accessing the Site, you represent that your access is permitted under the laws of your jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with all applicable laws if you access the Site from outside Switzerland.

6No Investment, Medical, or Professional Advice

Content on the Site is provided for general informational purposes only. Without limiting the foregoing, no Content on the Site constitutes, and no Content should be construed or relied upon as:

  • An offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security, or an offer or invitation to invest in any fund, company, or program referred to on the Site;
  • Investment, financial, legal, tax, medical, or other professional advice, or a recommendation regarding any specific investment, program, or course of action;
  • A substitute for professional advice from a qualified advisor appropriate to your circumstances.

Past performance and the description of any program, partner, or co-investment referred to on the Site are not indicative of future results. Nothing on the Site is intended to, and nothing on the Site does, create an advisory or client relationship between you and Rambam. Your reliance on any Content is at your own risk.

7Regulatory Status

Rambam is not licensed or supervised by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and does not act as a manager of collective investment schemes, financial intermediary, or securities firm within the meaning of the Swiss Financial Institutions Act (FinIA), the Financial Services Act (FinSA), or the Collective Investment Schemes Act (CISA). Nothing on the Site constitutes a prospectus within the meaning of Article 35 et seq. FinSA or an offering document for any collective investment scheme. Any reference on the Site to co-investment, funding, or partner programs describes Rambam's business activities as a venture studio and does not constitute an offer of any regulated financial service or product.

8Intellectual Property

The Site and all Content, including the Rambam name, logo, and any related marks, are the property of Rambam or its licensors and are protected under applicable Swiss and international intellectual property laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Rambam grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and view the Content for your personal, non-commercial reference. Except as expressly permitted herein, no part of the Site or its Content may be reproduced, republished, distributed, modified, or otherwise exploited without Rambam's prior written consent.

9Third-Party Trademarks

Names, logos, and trademarks of universities, partners, co-investors, and other third parties displayed on the Site are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and informational purposes only, with permission where required. Their display does not imply any endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation beyond the specific relationship described on the Site.

10User Submissions

Any communication, inquiry, feedback, or other material that you submit to Rambam through the Site (“Submission”) will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary, other than Personal Data contained therein, which is handled in accordance with Section 14 of the Terms below. By making a Submission, you grant Rambam a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual right to use the non-personal content of such Submission for any legitimate business purpose, including improving the Site and our Services, without any obligation to compensate or credit you.

11Confidentiality

Submitting information, materials, or communications to Rambam through the Site – including through the contact form, and including any business plan, scientific data, or other proprietary material – does not create any confidentiality obligation, non-disclosure obligation, fiduciary duty, or other legal relationship between you and Rambam, and does not constitute or give rise to a non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement. Rambam is under no obligation to treat any such information as confidential unless and until you and Rambam have entered into a separate written confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement expressly covering that information. You should not submit information that you consider confidential or proprietary through the Site in the absence of such a separate agreement.

General information provided by Rambam through the Site, including in response to an inquiry submitted through the Site, is provided for general informational purposes only, does not constitute advice on which you may rely, and does not create any contractual, advisory, or other professional relationship between you and Rambam. Rambam accepts no liability for any action taken, or decision made, in reliance on such information in the absence of a separate written engagement between you and Rambam.

12Prohibited Use

14Personal Data and Cookies

Rambam processes Personal Data collected through the Site in two principal ways: (i) technical and usage data collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies as you browse the Site (such as IP address, device and browser information, and browsing behavior), which we process on the basis of our legitimate business interest in operating, securing, and improving the Site; and (ii) Personal Data that you voluntarily submit through the Site's contact form (such as your name, email address, and the content of your message), which we process for the purpose of responding to your inquiry and maintaining related business communication.

Under the FADP, the processing described in this Section does not, as a general rule, require your consent, provided that it is carried out lawfully, in good faith, proportionately, and for the purpose stated at the time of collection. By accessing the Site, you acknowledge and agree to the processing of your Personal Data as described in this Section; to the extent your consent is or becomes required under applicable law for any specific processing activity, accessing the Site or submitting the contact form, as applicable, constitutes such consent, and no additional or separate consent is required.

Where processing your Personal Data requires transferring it outside Switzerland, including to service providers located in the European Economic Area, the United States, or elsewhere, Rambam will ensure that such transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards as required under Articles 16–17 FADP (such as an adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses, or another legally recognized safeguard).

Subject to the conditions set out in the FADP, you have the right to request access to, rectification or deletion of, or restriction on the processing of your Personal Data, and to object to such processing, by contacting us at the address in Section 22 below. This Section constitutes Rambam's complete notice regarding the processing of Personal Data collected through the Site, and no separate privacy policy applies to the Site. You may disable cookies through your browser settings; certain features of the Site may not function properly if you do so.

16Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site and all Content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. Rambam does not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

17Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Rambam shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages of any kind arising out of or in connection with your access to, use of, or inability to use the Site, even if Rambam has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
