Welcome to Rivet, invitation-only communities of B2B SaaS revenue individuals and leaders!

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully. These Terms are a binding agreement between Rivet (“we,” “us,” or “our”) and you, whether you are a member, an applicant for membership, or simply visiting our website.

PLEASE NOTE: THESE TERMS REQUIRE THAT ANY DISPUTES BE RESOLVED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, MEANING NO CLASS ACTIONS OR GROUP CASES ARE PERMITTED.
