Users retain ownership of any content they submit (e.g., profiles, bios, project briefs). By submitting content, you grant OnDeck a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, host, display, and share it for the purpose of operating and promoting the platform.

You are responsible for ensuring your content complies with all applicable intellectual property laws.

By creating an account, you agree to receive administrative and transactional emails from OnDeck. You may opt out of non-essential communications at any time.

For certain users who opt in, we may also send text message notifications via third-party providers (e.g., Twilio). Standard message rates may apply.
