Terms of Use

DealFlow OS is a startup tracking and dealflow intelligence platform for VC firms, analysts, scouts, and investors.

The Services help approved users:

• monitor startups over time;
• track public traction signals such as hiring, funding, product updates, GitHub activity, and news;
• manage startup watchlists;
• organize startup interactions;
• generate AI-assisted research summaries from public evidence and user-submitted metadata;
• review public evidence, company profiles, and startup signals.

DealFlow OS provides research, organization, and workflow tools only. The Services are not financial, legal, tax, investment, or professional advice.

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services.

By using the Services, you represent that:

• you have legal capacity to agree to these Terms;
• you will comply with these Terms and applicable law;
• the information you provide is accurate and current;
• you are not prohibited from using the Services under applicable law.

Certain DealFlow OS features are available only to approved users or firms through an invite-only private workspace.

Private workspace access may include:

• private events;
• private startup interactions;
• private watchlists;
• saved notes;
• AI-generated summaries;
• private startup records;
• firm or team workspace features.

You may not attempt to bypass invite-only access controls, workspace permissions, authentication, rate limits, or security restrictions.

We may approve, deny, suspend, or revoke private workspace access at any time where we believe it is necessary to protect the Services, enforce these Terms, prevent abuse, or comply with law.

The private workspace is not intended to store highly sensitive, confidential, or regulated information. Users must keep private workspace notes metadata-only.

You must not submit, upload, store, or process:

• confidential deal terms;
• valuations;
• private diligence;
• full conversation transcripts;
• sensitive personal information;
• passwords;
• financial account information;
• government identification numbers;
• medical or health information;
• private founder/company secrets;
• unauthorized third-party data;
• information you do not have the legal right or consent to use.

Examples of acceptable metadata-only notes include:

• "Follow up next week"
• "Met founder at BC Web Summit"
• "Interested in AI infrastructure"
• "Send intro to partner"
• "Founder: John, Company: ExampleAI"
• "Asked for deck"

You are responsible for all information you submit to the Services.

DealFlow OS may display startup/company data, public evidence, source URLs, funding-related information, hiring information, GitHub activity, news, product updates, market signals, and other public or third-party information.

This information may be:

• incomplete;
• outdated;
• inaccurate;
• unavailable;
• based on third-party or public sources we do not control;
• generated or summarized by AI;
• subject to change without notice.

We do not guarantee that any startup data, score, signal, summary, public evidence, funding information, hiring information, company profile, or market data is complete, current, accurate, verified, reliable, or suitable for any particular purpose.

You are solely responsible for independently verifying all information before relying on it or making any business, investment, operational, or other decision.

DealFlow OS is provided for informational, research, and workflow purposes only.

Nothing in the Services constitutes:

• investment advice;
• financial advice;
• legal advice;
• tax advice;
• accounting advice;
• professional advice;
• a recommendation to buy, sell, invest in, fund, contact, or avoid any company or security.

We are not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, financial institution, law firm, accounting firm, or tax adviser.

You must make your own independent decisions and consult qualified professionals where appropriate.

DealFlow OS may provide AI-assisted features, including:

• startup research summaries;
• public evidence summaries;
• startup signal analysis;
• structured information extraction;
• AI-generated notes, drafts, or memos.

AI features may process user-submitted text when you explicitly click Generate, Extract, or a similar action.

AI outputs may be incomplete, outdated, inaccurate, misleading, or unsuitable for your purpose. You must review and verify all AI-generated outputs before relying on them.

You must not use AI features to generate or rely on investment, legal, tax, financial, or professional advice without independent verification.

You must not submit confidential deal terms, full transcripts, sensitive personal information, or unauthorized third-party information into AI features.

DealFlow OS may include browser-based recording or transcription workflows.

You are responsible for obtaining all required consent before recording, transcribing, summarizing, or submitting conversation content.

DealFlow OS does not intend to store raw audio or full live transcripts from the recording workflow on our servers. If you choose to submit text to an AI feature, that text may be processed by our AI provider to generate structured output, summaries, or notes.

You agree to:

• keep your login credentials confidential;

You may submit information, notes, prompts, summaries, feedback, or other content to the Services ("User Content").

You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant us a limited license to host, process, store, display, transmit, and use that User Content as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, maintain, improve, and operate the Services.

You represent that:

• you have the rights and permissions needed to submit the User Content;
• the User Content does not violate applicable law or third-party rights;
• the User Content does not contain prohibited sensitive or confidential information;
• the User Content complies with these Terms.

We may remove, restrict, or disable content that violates these Terms or creates risk for the Services. Private workspace content is used to provide the Services to your workspace — not as public content we sell, resell, or publish for unrelated purposes.

We own or license the Services, including software, design, source code, databases, functionality, text, graphics, logos, and other materials made available through the Services, excluding User Content and third-party/public source content.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for permitted internal business or personal use.

You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, license, reverse engineer, or exploit the Services except as permitted by law or with our written permission.

The Services may include third-party content, public source information, links, public evidence, APIs, and external websites.

We do not control third-party sources and are not responsible for their accuracy, availability, legality, policies, or content.

Your use of third-party websites or services is at your own risk and may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy: https://dealflowos.dev/legal/privacy. The Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information. We do not sell user personal information.

We respect intellectual property rights.

If you believe material available through the Services infringes your copyright, contact us at ved06.thakar@gmail.com and include:

• a description of the copyrighted work;
• the URL or location of the allegedly infringing material;
• your contact information;
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized;
• a statement that the information you provide is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

If you are unsure whether material infringes copyright, consider contacting an attorney before submitting a notice.

If you believe public startup/company data, public evidence, AI-generated content, or related information is inaccurate, outdated, or should be removed, contact us at ved06.thakar@gmail.com or use our data corrections page.

We may review and respond to correction or removal requests in accordance with applicable law and our operational capabilities.

We may change, update, suspend, discontinue, or modify the Services at any time.

We do not guarantee that the Services will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, current, or error-free.

We are not responsible for losses caused by downtime, errors, delays, data loss, interruptions, maintenance, or changes to the Services.

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect the Services.

Some private workspace metadata may be encrypted at rest to reduce database-breach exposure. This does not make the Services zero-risk or fully end-to-end encrypted unless we expressly state otherwise.

No method of transmission, processing, or storage is completely secure. You use the Services at your own risk.

The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, reliability, security, and completeness.

We do not warrant that:

• the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free;
• startup data or public evidence will be accurate, current, complete, or verified;
• AI outputs will be correct, current, complete, or reliable;
• defects or errors will be corrected;
• the Services will meet your requirements.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we and our officers, contractors, employees, agents, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, special, punitive, or similar damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, investment losses, missed opportunities, or reliance on inaccurate information.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim will be limited to the lesser of:

• the amount you paid us for the Services in the six months before the claim arose; or
• $50 USD.

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

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from:

• your use of the Services;
• your User Content;
• your violation of these Terms;
• your violation of applicable law;
• your violation of third-party rights;
• your submission of unauthorized, confidential, sensitive, or prohibited information;
• your reliance on unverified data, AI outputs, or startup signals;
• your failure to obtain required consent for submitted information or recorded/transcribed content.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time if we believe you violated these Terms, created security or legal risk, misused the Services, or if we discontinue the Services.

Upon termination, your right to use the Services will stop immediately.

Certain sections of these Terms will survive termination, including intellectual property, privacy, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution provisions.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Canada and the applicable laws of the Province of Ontario, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Before starting a formal dispute, you and DealFlow OS agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally by written notice and good-faith negotiations for at least 30 days.

If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, the dispute may be resolved through binding arbitration where permitted by applicable law.

The seat of arbitration will be Toronto, Canada. The arbitration language will be English. There will be one arbitrator.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief for intellectual property misuse, unauthorized access, privacy violations, security incidents, or misuse of the Services.

By using the Services or contacting us electronically, you consent to receive communications electronically.

Electronic communications may include emails, notices, policy updates, service messages, and other records related to the Services.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last updated" date.

If we make material changes, we may notify users by posting a notice, sending an email, or using another appropriate method.

Your continued use of the Services after updated Terms become effective means you accept the updated Terms.
