Terms of Service

Last updated: May 2026

These are lightweight site-use terms for a pre-launch marketing page. The product is not yet generally available. This is not a SaaS subscription agreement, master services agreement (MSA), or order form. The full subscription/commercial terms will be published separately at launch. See "What Changes at Launch."

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Foothold website (the "Site"). The Site is operated by Ellis Intelligence LLC, a Colorado limited liability company ("Ellis Intelligence," "we," "us," or "our"). Foothold is a brand/product of Ellis Intelligence LLC and is not a separate legal entity.

By accessing the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1. Pre-Launch Status; No Service Yet

Foothold is in development and not yet generally available. The Site is an informational, pre-launch page that lets you learn about Foothold. We are not currently offering, selling, or providing the Foothold product, and nothing on the Site is an offer to sell or a binding commitment to provide any product or service. Features, availability, pricing, and timing described on the Site are subject to change or cancellation without notice. The Site does not collect an email address or any other personal information from you; if you want to reach us, you may send an email at your own initiative to the address in "Contact" below.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) and able to form a binding contract to use the Site. The Site is not directed to children.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

use the Site for any unlawful, harmful, or fraudulent purpose;
attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers, or related systems;
probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site, or breach security or authentication measures;
interfere with or disrupt the Site (e.g., denial-of-service, excessive automated requests, scraping in violation of these Terms); or
reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from the Site's content except as expressly permitted.

We may suspend or block access to the Site for any violation of these Terms.

4. Intellectual Property

The Site and its contents — including text, graphics, logos, the Foothold name and marks, design, and underlying code — are owned by or licensed to Ellis Intelligence LLC and are protected by intellectual-property laws. The Foothold name and logo are trademarks of Ellis Intelligence LLC (claimed as common-law/™ marks; not registered ® at this time). Except for the limited right to view the Site for your personal, non-commercial information, no license or right is granted to you.

5. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party sites or their content, and links do not imply endorsement.

6. Disclaimers

THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any product will be released or released on any timeline.

Foothold is standard SaaS — no special disclaimer beyond the base.

7. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ELLIS INTELLIGENCE LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ellis Intelligence LLC from claims and expenses arising out of your misuse of the Site or violation of these Terms.

9. Governing Law; Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in / Colorado.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above, and material changes will be posted on the Site. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

11. What Changes at Launch (Forward-Looking)

At launch, when Foothold becomes generally available, these site-use Terms will be supplemented or replaced by full commercial terms, which are expected to include: a subscription/SaaS agreement or MSA, an order form / pricing terms, payment and billing terms (via Stripe), acceptable-use and service-level provisions, customer-data and confidentiality terms, a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) and sub-processor list, and updated warranty, indemnity, and liability provisions appropriate to a paid service. Until then, only these pre-launch site-use Terms apply.
