Dr. Deal

Terms of Service

Effective date: 13 June 2026 · Version: 2026-06-13

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and the operator of Dr. Deal and govern your access to and use of the Dr. Deal service at https://dr-deal.tech and related subdomains (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who we are

Dr. Deal is operated by [operating entity — registration details to be completed] ("we", "us"). Dr. Deal is a conversational due-diligence workspace that lets you upload startup materials such as pitch decks, run an automated screening that extracts and structures information with source provenance, and review and share the results.

2. Eligibility and accounts

  • You must be at least 18 and able to enter a binding contract. The Service is intended for use in a professional capacity (for example, as an investor, analyst, or adviser).
  • You are responsible for the accuracy of your registration details, for keeping your credentials secure, and for all activity under your account. Tell us promptly of any unauthorised use.
  • Workspaces and sharing. The Service supports personal and shared (firm) workspaces and lets you grant others access to a deal or chat at viewer / editor / co-owner levels. You are responsible for whom you invite and for the access levels you grant; a workspace owner or administrator controls membership and may revoke access at any time.

3. Your content and uploads

  • "User Content" means everything you upload, enter, or generate in the Service, including pitch decks, documents, prompts, and the extracted or derived outputs.
  • You keep your rights. As between you and us, you (or your licensors) retain all ownership of your User Content.
  • Your warranties. You represent that you have all rights and permissions needed to upload and process the User Content through the Service — including any rights in third-party confidential information (for example, a startup's materials shared with you for evaluation) — and that doing so breaks no law or agreement.
  • Licence to operate the Service. You grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, copy, transmit, parse, analyse, and display the User Content solely to provide, secure, and maintain the Service for you and the people you share it with. This licence ends when the content is deleted, subject to §9 and routine backups.
  • No training on your content. We do not use your User Content to train models, and the providers we use are contractually bound not to either (see §5).

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to: upload unlawful, infringing, or malicious content, or content you have no right to process; attempt to access other tenants' data, probe or breach security, or circumvent access controls or usage limits; abuse, overload, or disrupt the Service, including by automated bulk use out of proportion to ordinary professional screening; or reverse engineer, scrape, or resell the Service except where that restriction is prohibited by law. We may suspend or limit access to protect the Service, its users, or third parties.

5. How your content is processed, and data minimisation

To analyse your documents the Service uses a small number of specialist third-party providers (for example, document parsing and AI models). We apply data minimisation: before your content is shared with these providers, we redact personal names and other direct identifiers so that the analysis operates on minimised data. We select these providers on the basis of their security and data-protection compliance, and we contract with them so that they do not retain your content beyond what is needed to return results, and do not use it to train their models or for any other purpose. Some providers may be located outside the EU/EEA; the providers we use, their locations, and the safeguards for any such transfer are listed in our Privacy Policy. If you cannot share particular material with such providers, do not upload it.

6. AI output — not advice, and not guaranteed accurate

  • The Service is an analytical tool, not an adviser. Outputs — including screenings, verdicts (such as proceed / conditional / stop), extracted variables, summaries, and any flagged risks — are automated, may be incomplete or wrong, and do not constitute investment, financial, legal, tax, or other professional advice. No fiduciary or advisory relationship is created.
  • AI systems can produce errors and fabricated content. We surface source provenance to help you verify, but you are solely responsible for independently verifying any output and for any decision you make. Do not rely on the Service as the sole basis for a material decision.
  • The Service is provided on an evolving, early-access basis; features and outputs may change.

7. Fees

The Service is currently provided free of charge during early access, and we may introduce paid plans on reasonable notice. The current release applies no per-user run quota; we reserve the right to introduce limits to protect the Service.

8. Our intellectual property

We and our licensors own the Service, its software, the models we provide, our branding, and all related intellectual property. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service under these Terms. No rights are granted except as expressly stated.

9. Term, termination, and deletion

  • You may stop using the Service and delete your content or account at any time.
  • We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms, where required by law, or to address a risk to the Service or others, with notice where practicable.
  • On account closure we delete or anonymise your User Content within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for routine backups, as described in the Privacy Policy. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including §§3, 5, 6, and 10–13) survive termination.

10. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or availability of the Service or its outputs.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or losses arising from decisions made using the Service. Our total aggregate liability under or in connection with the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and EUR 100. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

12. Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, losses, and costs arising from your User Content, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right (including third-party confidentiality or intellectual property rights in materials you upload).

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [governing law — Italy assumed pending confirmation], and the courts of [venue — e.g. Milan, Italy] have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory local-law protections that apply to you.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be notified (for example, in-app or by email) and, where appropriate, you will be asked to re-accept on next sign-in. The version and effective date above reflect the current Terms; continued use after a change takes effect means you accept it.
