Terms and Conditions

DevNoun LLC, doing business as HookVerb. Last updated .

The terms under which DevNoun LLC, doing business as HookVerb, offers hookverb.com, its wiki and Learning Center, its MCP server and APIs, and the information published there.

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and DevNoun LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, doing business as “HookVerb” (“DevNoun,” “HookVerb,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of (a) the HookVerb website located at https://hookverb.com and any related webpages, including the HookVerb wiki, the HookVerb Learning Center, and any forms, feeds, and machine-readable representations of them; (b) the HookVerb hosted Model Context Protocol (“MCP”) server, APIs, and any account or authorization features; and (c) related content, tools, and communications (collectively, the “Site”). “You” means you and, if you use the Site or accept an Engagement Agreement on behalf of a company or other entity, that entity as well.

IMPORTANT: The Site publishes general information about securities offerings, their rules, and their marketing. It is not legal, financial, investment, tax, accounting, or securities advice, it is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, and reading it creates no client, advisory, or fiduciary relationship. Content may also reach you through third-party artificial intelligence (“AI”) systems that summarize it inaccurately. You are responsible for how you use the Site and anything you take from it.

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

1. Company Information

The Site is offered by DevNoun LLC d/b/a HookVerb, a Nevada limited liability company, based in Las Vegas, Nevada (Clark County), USA.

Contact (Support / Legal): hi@hookverb.com
Mailing Address: 7465 W Lake Mead Blvd Ste 100, Las Vegas, NV 89128, USA (Clark County)

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to access or use the Site.

By using the Site, you represent and warrant that:

  • you are 18 years of age or older, or you have been declared emancipated under applicable law and have full legal capacity to enter into these Terms; and
  • you have the legal authority to enter into and be bound by these Terms, including on behalf of any company you represent; and
  • your use of the Site complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

We do not knowingly permit use of the Site by individuals under 18. If we learn that a person under 18 has created an account or is using the Site, we may suspend or terminate access and take steps we deem appropriate consistent with applicable law.

3. Changes to the Site and the Terms

3.1 Site Changes

We may modify, replace, suspend, limit, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time, including:

  • content, pages, and feature availability;
  • the APIs, the MCP server, and the machine-readable representations of content;
  • usage limits, rate limits, throttling, or quotas;
  • access to integrations or third-party services;
  • eligibility for free reviews, evaluations, promotions, or offers.

We have no obligation to provide any specific feature or maintain backward compatibility.

3.2 Terms Changes

We may update these Terms at any time. If changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice (e.g., via the website or email). Your continued use of the Site after changes become effective means you accept the updated Terms. For an engagement that incorporates these Terms, Section 5.1 says which version applies.

4. Accounts, Authorizations, and Security

Some features, such as checkout, purchase history, or account settings, may require an account, and you may be able to create one yourself. Staff accounts are issued by us. If you hold an account, you agree to:

  • provide accurate and current information;
  • keep your credentials, your email account, and any sign-in links we send you confidential; and
  • promptly notify us of unauthorized use.

You are responsible for all activity on your account, whether or not you authorized it.

Authorized applications. You may be able to connect a third-party application (for example, an MCP client) to the Site with your account. Applications register themselves and describe themselves; we do not verify them. You are responsible for any application you authorize and for everything it does as you. We may limit or revoke an application’s access at any time.

5. Professional Services, Reviews, and Proposals

5.1 Services Are Governed by a Separate Agreement

Consulting and other professional services are provided only under a written agreement for the engagement that you accept, whether a proposal, a statement of work, a services agreement, or a similar document (an “Engagement Agreement”). These Terms govern the Site; an Engagement Agreement governs the engagement. An Engagement Agreement may incorporate these Terms and our Privacy Policy by reference, and when it does, they apply to the engagement as well. If an Engagement Agreement and these Terms conflict, the Engagement Agreement controls for that engagement. Unless the Engagement Agreement says otherwise, the version of these Terms in effect on the date you accept the Engagement Agreement governs that engagement.

5.2 No Offer of Services on Particular Terms

Nothing on the Site is an offer to provide services on any particular terms. A proposal, quote, estimate, review, or conversation is not binding until it is accepted in the manner it specifies. Acceptance may be by electronic signature, or by checking a box or clicking a button on a web form that indicates acceptance, and either is as binding as a handwritten signature (see Section 20). Where a proposal says it must be countersigned by DevNoun, it is not binding until it is. Purchases made through the Site are governed by Section 13.

5.3 Free Reviews and Evaluations

Requesting a raise review or any other free evaluation does not create an engagement, a client relationship, or any duty of care. We may decline any request for any reason. Any review we provide is general commentary based on public information and the information you supply, is provided as-is, and is not a promise of results or a substitute for advice from your own counsel and intermediary.

5.4 Results Are Not Guaranteed

Amounts raised, statistics, case studies, testimonials, and other results described on the Site describe past work by specific companies in specific circumstances. They are not typical, are not guaranteed, and are not a promise about your offering. Outcomes depend on factors outside our control, including the issuer, its offering and disclosures, the market, regulators, and the intermediary.

5.5 No Securities Activity

HookVerb is a marketing and technology consultancy. HookVerb does not offer, sell, solicit, recommend, or handle securities or investor funds and does not act as a broker-dealer, funding portal, investment adviser, promoter, finder, or law firm. Any engagement is limited to marketing and technology services and remains subject to the issuer’s own compliance obligations, its counsel, and its intermediary.

6. Content, No Advice, and Machine Access

6.1 Informational Content Only

The Site publishes articles, glossary entries, posts, and other content, and may make suggestions, checklists, or other outputs available (“Content”). Content:

  • may be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date, or misleading;
  • may not reflect current rules, which change and vary by jurisdiction; and
  • is provided for general informational purposes only.

You are solely responsible for:

  • verifying Content before relying on it; and
  • decisions and actions you take based on Content.

6.2 No Professional Advice

The Site does not provide legal, financial, investment, tax, accounting, securities, or other professional advice. Do not use the Site as a substitute for professional guidance. Confirm anything you rely on with a licensed attorney or other qualified professional before acting.

6.3 No Offer and No Client Relationship

Nothing on the Site is an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, an endorsement of any issuer, offering, or intermediary, or a recommendation to invest. Reading the Site, contacting us, or requesting a review does not make you a client of DevNoun or create any advisory or fiduciary relationship.

6.4 Machine-Readable Content and Content Policy

We make Content available to software through feeds, markdown representations, structured data, APIs, and the MCP server. Subject to these Terms, you may read, index, search, summarize, and quote Content with attribution and a link to the source page, and use it for personal or internal business reference. Without our prior written consent, you may not:

  • use Content to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or otherwise develop machine learning or AI models;
  • copy Content in bulk, mirror it, or scrape it beyond the published rate limits;
  • republish, sell, or redistribute Content, or present it as your own; or
  • remove or alter attribution, notices, or links.

Our machine-readable signals (for example, robots.txt, content-signal headers, and the MCP server’s instructions) state these permissions and are part of these Terms. Access to the APIs and the MCP server is subject to rate limits and may be suspended or revoked at any time.

6.5 AI Summaries

Content reached through a third-party AI system, search engine, or other intermediary may be summarized incorrectly or out of context. The page on the Site is the authoritative version. We are not responsible for how third-party systems present Content.

7. User Content

7.1 Your Content

You may submit or input content such as inquiries, messages, documents, links, materials you send us for a review, or, if you hold an account, pages and other materials (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content.

7.2 License to Us

You grant DevNoun a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, use, publish, and display your User Content as described in our Privacy Policy and Section 7.5 and to:

  • operate, maintain, and improve the Site;
  • respond to your inquiry, evaluate and prepare proposals, and deliver services;
  • provide customer support;
  • prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
  • comply with legal obligations; and
  • enforce these Terms.

Materials you provide under an Engagement Agreement are governed by that agreement’s intellectual property, confidentiality, and publicity terms where it has them; otherwise this Section 7 applies.

7.3 You Must Have Rights

You represent and warrant that you have all rights needed to provide your User Content and that providing it does not violate any law or any third-party rights.

7.4 No Confidential or Material Non-Public Information

Do not send us confidential information, trade secrets, or material non-public information about a company or an offering through the Site unless an Engagement Agreement or a written confidentiality agreement with DevNoun covers it. Absent such an agreement, information you submit through the Site is not received in confidence, and we may use it as these Terms and our Privacy Policy allow.

7.5 Publication and Publicity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may publish, display, quote, and use User Content, and your name, title, likeness, company name, logo, and trademarks, in connection with the Site and our marketing, including in testimonials, case studies, client lists, and the public spaces of the Site, and we may edit published material and retain it in the Site’s revision history. Published material is subject to Section 6.4. If you do not want to be identified in our marketing, tell us at hi@hookverb.com; an Engagement Agreement may set other terms for an engagement.

8. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to, and not to help others to:

  1. Use the Site for any illegal, harmful, or abusive purpose.
  2. Harass, threaten, defame, or exploit others.
  3. Upload or transmit malware, spyware, or other harmful code.
  4. Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site or related systems, or circumvent rate limits, access controls, or authorization.
  5. Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to discover source code, except where prohibited by law.
  6. Scrape, harvest, or collect data from the Site except as expressly permitted by Section 6.4 or by us in writing.

9. Intellectual Property

The Site, including software, designs, text, graphics, logos, and all related intellectual property, is owned by DevNoun or its licensors and is protected by applicable laws.

HookVerb, DevNoun, and related names, logos, and marks are owned by DevNoun or its licensors. No rights are granted except as expressly stated in these Terms. Names and logos of other companies shown on the Site belong to their owners, identify the companies referred to, and do not imply their endorsement of HookVerb or HookVerb’s endorsement of them.

9.1 Limited License to You

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site for your personal or internal business reference use (unless we expressly allow otherwise in writing).

10. Feedback

If you provide suggestions, ideas, or feedback (“Feedback”), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the Feedback for any purpose without compensation or attribution.

11. Marketing Communications and Measurement

By submitting a form, providing contact information, or using the Site, you agree we may contact you regarding:

  • account and transactional messages (e.g., security, account, sign-in links, and updates); and
  • your inquiry, and marketing and promotional messages, to the extent permitted by law and subject to your choices and consents.

We may contact you through any channel you provide or enable, using manual or automated means, including:

  • email;
  • SMS/MMS text messages;
  • phone calls, including calls placed with an automatic telephone dialing system and calls using a prerecorded or artificial voice;
  • voicemail, including ringless voicemail drops;
  • messaging platforms and video meetings; and
  • in-product messages and any other channel that becomes available.

Opt-Out: You can opt out of marketing communications:

  • Email: via “unsubscribe” links or by contacting us at hi@hookverb.com.
  • SMS: by replying STOP (or any other reasonable opt-out method we support).
  • Calls and voicemail: by telling us on the call or contacting us at hi@hookverb.com.

Account and transactional messages may still be sent when necessary.

By providing a phone number to us, you expressly consent to receive calls, voicemail (including ringless voicemail drops), and SMS/MMS text messages at that number from DevNoun and those acting on its behalf, including marketing messages, placed or sent with an automatic telephone dialing system, a prerecorded or artificial voice, or other automated technology. Your consent is not a condition of any purchase. You may revoke it at any time as described in Section 11.1. You represent that you own or control the number you provide and agree to tell us if it changes.

Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies.

11.3 Marketing Measurement and Analytics

You agree that we may measure marketing performance and user engagement across the Site using technologies such as:

  • cookies, pixels, tags, and similar tracking tools;
  • analytics events and identifiers;
  • attribution tools, conversion APIs, and aggregated reporting; and
  • A/B testing and experimentation.

We may link data across devices and sessions to understand performance, prevent fraud, and improve the Site. Your choices may be managed via device settings, cookie controls, and preferences described in our Privacy Policy.

The Site may integrate with or link to third-party services (e.g., analytics, CRM, hosting, AI systems and assistants, funding portals, offering pages, and social networks). We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for them. Your use of third-party services is governed by their terms and policies.

13. Purchases, Payments, and Self-Service Checkout

You may be able to purchase services, packages, or subscriptions through the Site (“Purchases”), including through a self-service checkout. Purchases are subject to these Terms, any Engagement Agreement, and any terms shown at checkout, which control for that Purchase.

13.1 Authorization to Charge

By making a Purchase, you authorize DevNoun and its payment processor to charge the payment method you provide for the amount shown, plus applicable taxes and fees. You agree to provide accurate billing information and to keep it current. Payment details are collected by our payment processor; we do not store your full payment card number.

13.2 Prices, Renewals, and Cancellation

Prices may change at any time; a change applies to Purchases made after it. Where a Purchase renews or bills in installments, it continues until canceled by the method provided at purchase, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current period unless the checkout terms say otherwise. Stopping use of the Site does not cancel a Purchase.

13.3 Refunds, Non-Payment, and Disputes

Fees are non-refundable except as stated at checkout or required by applicable law. We may suspend work, access, or deliverables for non-payment. Unpaid amounts may accrue interest and reasonable collection costs to the extent permitted by law. You are responsible for chargeback or dispute fees for disputes resolved in our favor, and a chargeback of a fee you agreed to pay is a breach of these Terms.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT:

  • THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE;
  • CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, RELIABLE, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR PURPOSES;
  • ANY REVIEW, EVALUATION, OR SUGGESTION WILL PRODUCE ANY RESULT; OR
  • DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND ANY CONTENT.

15. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

  1. NO INDIRECT DAMAGES. DEVNOUN WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, CAPITAL RAISED, INVESTORS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SITE OR ANY CONTENT.
  2. CAP ON LIABILITY. DEVNOUN’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE, THESE TERMS, OR AN ENGAGEMENT THAT INCORPORATES THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO DEVNOUN IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $100. IF AN ENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT STATES A DIFFERENT LIMIT, THAT LIMIT CONTROLS FOR THAT ENGAGEMENT.
  3. BASIS OF BARGAIN. YOU AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS IN THESE TERMS ARE A FUNDAMENTAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND DEVNOUN.

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

16. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DevNoun and its officers, members, managers, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:

  • your use of the Site or any Content;
  • your User Content;
  • any securities offering, investment decision, or communication with investors that you make or that relies on the Site;
  • your violation of these Terms; or
  • your violation of any law or any third-party rights.

We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate.

17. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you violated these Terms or pose a risk to the Site or others.

You may stop using the Site at any time. Termination of access to the Site does not by itself terminate an Engagement Agreement, which ends according to its own terms, and does not cancel a Purchase, which you must cancel as described in Section 13.

Upon termination, your right to use the Site stops immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive (including IP, content policy, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, and dispute provisions).

18. Governing Law and Exclusive Venue (No Arbitration)

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Site are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to conflict of law rules.

Exclusive Venue: Except where prohibited by applicable law, you agree that any legal action or proceeding must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts and waive any objection (including forum non conveniens).

If a court finds the “exclusive venue” portion unenforceable for a particular claim or user, then the parties agree that venue will be in the courts determined by that court to be proper, and the remainder of these Terms remains in effect.

19. Class Action Waiver

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND DEVNOUN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

If a court rules this waiver is unenforceable for a particular claim, then that claim must proceed in court, but only for that claim, and the rest of the waiver remains in effect to the extent permitted.

20. Electronic Communications and Notices

You consent to receive communications from us electronically, including by email and by notices posted on the Site. You agree that agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing. You agree that your electronic signature, and your checking a box or clicking a button that indicates acceptance, is binding and has the same effect as a handwritten signature, and that we may keep an electronic record of it. Notices to DevNoun must be sent to hi@hookverb.com or to the mailing address in Section 1.

21. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms and our rights/obligations at any time.

22. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

23. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

24. Entire Agreement

These Terms (and any policies referenced, including the Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and DevNoun regarding the Site and supersede any prior agreements or understandings regarding the Site. An Engagement Agreement is not superseded by these Terms; where it incorporates them, the two are read together and the Engagement Agreement controls in a conflict.

25. Contact Us
