Terms of Service

Draft for legal review. This is working copy maintained by PE Dealroom for our design-partner phase. It is not a substitute for a signed order form or legal advice. A formal Terms of Service will replace this before general availability. Questions: legal@pe-dealroom.com.

Last updated below.

1. Acceptance

By creating an account, accessing, or using PE Dealroom ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself and, where applicable, your firm ("Customer"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Accounts and users

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity under your account.
Each user must have their own login. Shared credentials are prohibited.
You must be authorised by your firm to bind it to these Terms.
We may suspend or terminate an account that is used in violation of these Terms or that presents a security risk to the Service or other customers.

3. Acceptable use

You will not, and will not permit anyone else to:

Use the Service to violate any law, sanctions regime, or third-party right.
Attempt to circumvent access controls, reverse engineer the Service, or probe or scan its infrastructure without written permission.
Upload malware, unlawful content, or content you do not have the right to process.
Use the Service to build a competing product or benchmark it for a competitor.
Send bulk unsolicited email through the Service.

4. Customer data and ownership

You own your data. Deals, funds, LP records, documents, notes, portfolio data, and any other content you upload ("Customer Data") remain your property.
We process Customer Data solely to provide and improve the Service for you, under our Data Processing Agreement.
We do not sell Customer Data. We do not train third-party foundation models on your Customer Data.
Aggregated, de-identified metrics (for example, feature usage counts) may be used to operate and improve the Service.

5. Confidentiality

Each party will treat the other's non-public information as confidential and use it only to perform under these Terms. This obligation survives termination.

6. Security

We maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures, including row-level tenant isolation, encryption in transit and at rest, private document storage, per-workspace audit logs, and role-based access. Report suspected vulnerabilities to security@pe-dealroom.com.

7. Third-party services

The Service integrates with third-party providers for hosting, storage, email, and AI inference. Their use is governed by their own terms; we choose providers with appropriate security practices and list current subprocessors on request.

8. Fees

Fees, if any, are set out in your order form. Design-partner accounts may be provided free of charge or at a discount for a defined period. Taxes are additional and payable by Customer.

9. Warranties and disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" for the design-partner phase. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Nothing in the Service constitutes investment, legal, accounting, or tax advice.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill. Each party's aggregate liability arising out of or related to these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) fees paid by Customer in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) EUR 1,000. This limitation does not apply to a party's confidentiality obligations, indemnities, or liability that cannot be limited by law.

11. Term and termination

These Terms apply from account creation until terminated.
Either party may terminate for convenience with 30 days' notice.
Either party may terminate for material breach if the breach is not cured within 30 days of written notice.
On termination, you may export your data. We will delete Customer Data within 30 days of termination unless retention is required by law.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction stated in your order form. Absent an order form, they are governed by the laws of France, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Paris, France. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be notified at least 30 days in advance by email or in-product notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
