DealVue Terms of Service: User Rights & Responsibilities

Last updated: September 21, 2026

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the DealVue platform, the AI Strategy Engine, or any related services (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and DealVue Inc., including its predecessors, subsidiaries, and associated platforms operating under the names AVANTVUE LLC and DataVue (collectively, "DealVue," "we," "us," or "our").

2. Definitions

"Services" means the DealVue website, the Intelligent Deal Room platform (including any legacy systems operated under the DataVue brand), the AI Strategy Engine, and any related applications provided by DealVue.
"AI Strategy Engine" means DealVue's proprietary, in-house artificial intelligence technology that analyzes User Content to generate insights, including the Deal Readiness Score.
"User Content" means any pitch decks, financial models, legal documents, text, or data you upload, store, or process via the Services.
"Deal Readiness Score" means the quantifiable metric generated by the AI Strategy Engine assessing the completeness and quality of your data room.

3. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, DealVue grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services solely for your internal business purposes (e.g., fundraising preparation, due diligence management) during your Subscription Term.

4. User Accounts

Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access.
Authority: You agree to provide accurate and current information during registration and represent that you have the authority to bind your organization to these Terms.

5. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

To ensure the security, integrity, and strict confidentiality of the Services for all users, you agree not to, and not to permit any third party to, engage in any of the following prohibited activities:

AI Manipulation, Adversarial Attacks & Prompt Injections: You may not attempt to circumvent, subvert, or probe the security boundaries, system prompts, guardrails, or isolation mechanisms of Clara AI or any underlying AI models. Specifically, you may not submit, upload, or embed any text, files, metadata, instructions, or adversarial inputs ("prompt injections," "jailbreaks," or indirect injection attacks) intended to cause Clara AI to leak system instructions, access unauthorized data, extract confidential documents belonging to other users or data rooms, or behave outside its intended operational scope. Any attempt to induce cross-tenant data leakage or exfiltrate another organization's proprietary information is strictly prohibited and constitutes a material breach of these Terms.
Unauthorized Auditing & Testing: You may not perform unauthorized vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, security probing, load testing, or otherwise attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Services, AI endpoints, or DealVue's underlying infrastructure without our express prior written consent.
Reverse Engineering: You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, system prompts, embeddings, internal training weights, AI architectures, or underlying structures of the Services.
Malicious Activity & Weaponized Files: You may not upload, transmit, or distribute any viruses, malware, ransomware, weaponized documents, hidden payload files, or any other code designed to compromise, disrupt, or exploit the platform or other users.
Data Abuse & Scraping: You may not use automated systems (e.g., bots, spiders, scrapers, or programmatic query scripts) to extract data from the Services, nor use the Services to store or transmit highly restricted data (e.g., protected health information or unredacted consumer financial data) unless explicitly supported and authorized by the platform.
Illegal, Fraudulent & Infringing Acts: You may not use the Services for any fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal purpose, or to upload User Content that infringes upon the intellectual property, trade secret, or privacy rights of any third party.

6. Right to Monitor and Enforcement

DealVue respects the strict confidentiality of your User Content. We do not actively monitor or review User Content as a standard practice. However, to comply with legal obligations, maintain multi-tenant isolation, and defend against adversarial security threats, DealVue reserves the right, but not the obligation, to:

Deploy automated threat detection and input filtering systems to identify and block prompt injections, adversarial document payloads, and anomalous system activity.
Investigate any suspected violation of these Terms or anomalous/nefarious activity detected by our security systems.
Review, restrict access to, or permanently remove any User Content that we reasonably determine violates Section 5 (Acceptable Use) or poses a material legal, operational, or security risk to DealVue or its users.
Immediately suspend or terminate accounts, revoke data room links, preserve forensic logs, and, where appropriate, report malicious intrusion or cross-tenant exfiltration attempts to relevant law enforcement authorities and civil regulatory bodies.

7. User Content and Data Rights

Ownership: You retain all rights and ownership of your User Content.
License to Host & Process: By uploading User Content, you grant DealVue a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, host, store, and display User Content solely as necessary to provide the Services to you. This includes processing your documents through trusted enterprise vendors (such as for Optical Character Recognition) who are contractually bound by strict confidentiality agreements and prohibited from using your data to train their external models.
AI Training Rights & Opt-Out: You acknowledge that our in-house AI models rely on data to generate insights and industry benchmarks. By using the Services, you grant DealVue the right to de-identify, anonymize, and aggregate your User Content to train our internal algorithms. All users have the right to opt out of this AI training usage (paid subscribers via account settings, and free Launchpad users by contacting privacy@dealvue.io). If you exercise this opt-out, DealVue will not use your User Content for future model training. DealVue retains all rights to any anonymized and aggregated data generated prior to an opt-out request.

8. Fees and Payment

Subscriptions: DealVue offers both free and paid tiers. Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis.
No Refunds: Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or explicitly stated in our Refund Policy.
Taxes: You are responsible for paying all applicable taxes, including digital services taxes (e.g., sales tax on SaaS), associated with your purchase.

9. Intellectual Property

DealVue retains all rights, title, and interest in the Services, including the AI Strategy Engine, the "Deal Readiness Score" methodology, our brand, legacy brands (including DataVue), and our underlying code. Nothing in these Terms grants you a right to use our intellectual property except as explicitly permitted by the license granted in Section 3.

10. Suspension and Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, if we determine in our sole discretion that you have breached these Terms (including engaging in any Prohibited Conduct outlined in Section 5), violated applicable laws, or pose a security threat to DealVue or other users. In the event of termination for cause, you will not be entitled to any refund of prepaid fees.

11. Disclaimers

No Professional Advice: The "Deal Readiness Score," "Readiness Report," and AI recommendations are for informational purposes only. They do not constitute legal, financial, investment, or tax advice. DealVue does not warrant that a high score will result in funding, successful due diligence, or specific valuations.
"As Is" Service: The Services are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

12. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL DEALVUE'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE INCIDENT. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, OR FAILED FUNDRAISING EFFORTS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DealVue against any third-party claims, damages, or expenses arising from (a) your User Content (e.g., claims that it infringes third-party intellectual property or contains illegal material); or (b) your violation of these Terms.

14. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Cincinnati, Ohio, except for claims seeking injunctive relief regarding intellectual property, data breaches, or violations of acceptable use, which may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION AGAINST DEALVUE.

15. Survival

Sections pertaining to Intellectual Property, Indemnification, Limitation of Liability, Governing Law, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive termination, shall survive the termination or expiration of these Terms.
