Terms of Service.

These terms govern your use of DealFilter. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, don’t use DealFilter.

We’ve kept these as short and direct as we can. If anything is unclear, email hello@dealfilter.io.

1. Who can use DealFilter

DealFilter is a tool for professional investors. To use it you must be at least 18, legally able to enter a contract, and using it for legitimate investment-firm activities. If you’re signing up on behalf of a firm, you represent that you have the authority to bind that firm to these terms.

2. Your account

• ▸You’re responsible for keeping your credentials secure. Don’t share them.
• ▸You’re responsible for the content you put into DealFilter and the actions taken from your account.
• ▸You must tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.

3. What you can do

Subject to these terms and your payment of applicable fees, we grant your firm a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use DealFilter for its internal deal-flow operations.

4. What you can’t do

• ▸Use DealFilter for anything illegal, abusive, or designed to harm someone else.
• ▸Resell, sublicense, or expose DealFilter as a service to third parties without our written consent.
• ▸Reverse-engineer the service or attempt to extract underlying models, prompts, or infrastructure details.
• ▸Send us content you don’t have the right to send, or use DealFilter to violate the rights of any founder, fund, or third party.
• ▸Probe for vulnerabilities or interfere with the service’s availability for other firms.

5. Email and inbox connections

When you connect a Gmail or Microsoft 365 mailbox, you authorize DealFilter to read messages on your behalf via the provider’s OAuth scopes. We use that access only as described in our Privacy Policy. You can revoke access at any time from Settings → Connections or from your email provider’s security settings.

6. Fees

DealFilter may be offered free of charge during early access. We reserve the right to introduce paid plans on at least 30 days’ notice via email. Once billing is enabled, fees are due in advance for each billing cycle. We don’t provide refunds for partial periods except where required by law.

7. AI output

DealFilter uses large language models to classify, score, and summarize pitches. AI output is probabilistic — it can be wrong, miss nuance, or produce content that looks confident but isn’t. Treat scores and briefings as a triage signal, not as investment advice. You are solely responsible for the investment decisions you make.

8. Confidentiality

Each side will keep the other’s confidential information confidential and use it only to perform under these terms. This includes the contents of your inbox, your firm’s thesis, and any pre-release product information we share with you.

9. Intellectual property

You retain ownership of all data you put into DealFilter, and all AI output generated about your firm’s deal flow. We retain ownership of DealFilter itself — the code, models, prompts, design, and infrastructure. We grant you a limited license to use it during your subscription; you grant us a limited license to process your data as needed to run the service.

10. Termination

• ▸You can cancel any time from Settings → Account, or by emailing us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle.
• ▸We can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, pose a security risk, or fail to pay. Where practical we’ll give notice first.
• ▸On termination we’ll delete your data within 30 days, unless retention is legally required.

11. Disclaimers

DealFilter is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI scoring will surface every relevant pitch. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability under these terms is capped at the greater of (a) the fees you paid in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost deals, or lost data — even if we were advised of the possibility.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of your misuse of the service, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any third-party right.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts of Delaware.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we’ll update the “last updated” date at the top and, for changes that meaningfully affect your rights, send a notice to the email on your account. Continued use after the change means you accept the updated terms.
