1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using the DealForge AI platform, you agree to be fully bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement. If you do not agree to any of the terms, you must refrain from using the platform or its services.

We reserve the right to modify this agreement at any time. Any modifications will be effective upon posting on the platform. By continuing to use DealForge AI following the posting of a modification, you expressly agree to be bound by the updated terms. For this reason, we recommend that you review this agreement periodically to stay informed of any changes.

By using the platform, you represent and warrant that you have full legal capacity, power and authority to enter into this agreement and to perform your obligations hereunder. You further confirm that you are not subject to any legal, contractual or other restriction that limits or prevents your ability to accept these terms and conditions.

2. Notifications and Communications

By registering and using DealForge AI, you authorize Adaptive Research to send notifications and communications related to the operation, updates, maintenance, and use of the platform, as well as marketing communications and promotions via email and internal notifications. You can manage your notification preferences in your account settings and unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the "unsubscribe" option included in each message. Some essential operational or administrative notifications may continue to be sent while the account remains active, as they are necessary for the proper functioning of the service.

3. Registration and User Account

To access and use the features of DealForge AI, users must create an account on the platform. Registration can be completed by providing an email address and password or by using third-party credentials, such as a Google account.

By registering, users declare that the information provided is true, current, and complete, and agree to keep it up to date. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and for all activities carried out from their account, and agree to immediately notify Adaptive Research of any unauthorized use or security breach detected.

Each account is personal and non-transferable, and the user may not share their credentials or allow access to third parties. Adaptive Research reserves the right to suspend or cancel the account of any user who breaches these terms and conditions, uses the platform for illegal purposes, or engages in activities that affect its integrity, security, or operation.

4. Subscription Plans

DealForge AI offers access to its features through a free plan and two paid subscription plans called Professional and Firm, each with different features, benefits, and access levels. Additionally, a limited Founding Member lifetime access offer may be available during early access periods, granting permanent Firm-level access to qualifying purchasers.

By purchasing a subscription plan, the user authorizes automatic recurring billing to the payment method provided at the time of purchase. Payments are processed securely through a third-party payment provider, and the subscription will automatically renew at the start of each new billing cycle, unless the user cancels it before the renewal date.

The user can cancel their subscription at any time from their account, and it will remain active until the end of the current billing period. No refunds will be made for partial periods, charges already processed, or unused time.

Adaptive Research reserves the right to modify prices, billing conditions, or plan features, notifying users in advance through the contact information associated with their accounts. Continued use of the platform after such modifications will imply acceptance of the new applicable terms.

5. User Responsibilities

6. Accuracy and Limitations of AI Analysis

DealForge AI uses advanced artificial intelligence technologies and machine learning algorithms designed to analyze companies, identify investment opportunities, and generate strategic information. However, the user acknowledges and accepts that the results generated by the platform are the product of automated processes that may be subject to technical and interpretative limitations.

The analyses, reports, and assessments provided by DealForge AI should be understood as tools to support decision-making, and not as financial, legal, or professional advice.

In particular, the user accepts the following limitations:

  • Data sources: The analyses are based on information collected from public sources available on the Internet, which may be incomplete, inaccurate, out of date, or subject to human or technical errors beyond the control of DealForge AI
  • AI limitations: Artificial intelligence models may make mistakes, misinterpret information, or generate biased results due to the quality of the input data or the inherent limitations of the algorithms used
  • No guarantees: Adaptive Research does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of the analyses, reports, or projections generated by the platform, and assumes no responsibility for decisions made based on such results
  • Confidence levels: Some results may include statistical confidence indicators or levels, which are estimates and do not eliminate the possibility of errors or significant deviations in the results
  • Human review required: All analyses, recommendations, or reports generated by the platform must be reviewed and validated by qualified professionals before being used for commercial, financial, or investment purposes

The user assumes full responsibility for the use of the data and reports generated by DealForge AI and understands that the platform acts solely as a technological tool for automated analysis, not as a definitive or infallible source of information.

13. Termination

Both the user and DealForge AI acknowledge that failure to comply with these terms and conditions may result in termination of the agreement between both parties.

In case of non-compliance by the user:

If the user fails to comply with any of the terms set forth in these terms and conditions, DealForge AI reserves the right to unilaterally terminate the user's access to and use of the platform. DealForge AI may take this action without prior notice, and the User will automatically lose all rights to access and use the platform. Furthermore, DealForge AI shall not be liable for any loss of data or information associated with the user's account.

If DealForge AI fails to comply with its obligations under the agreed terms and conditions, the User shall be entitled to terminate the agreement and stop using the platform. The user shall notify DealForge AI in writing of the breach and allow a reasonable time for DealForge AI to remedy the situation. If DealForge AI does not remedy the breach within the set period, the user may proceed with the termination of the agreement.

Termination of the agreement shall not release either party from any obligations and liabilities that have arisen prior to the date of termination. Continued use of the platform after termination of the agreement by either party shall imply acceptance of the conditions set forth in the terms and conditions in effect at that time.

15. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute, claim or controversy arising between a user and DealForge AI in connection with these terms and conditions, the use of the platform or the services provided, shall be resolved exclusively through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, including mediation and arbitration, as detailed below.

Step 1: Informal Resolution

Both parties agree to use their best efforts to resolve any dispute informally. This includes direct communication between the parties involved to identify and address concerns or disagreements quickly and efficiently. Users may contact DealForge AI through designated support channels to raise any disputes. The company commits to respond within a reasonable period of time.

Step 2: Mediation

If the parties fail to resolve the dispute informally within thirty (30) days of initial notification of the dispute, the dispute will be submitted to mediation. The mediation shall be conducted before a neutral mediator selected by mutual agreement of the parties. The costs of the mediation shall be shared equally between the parties, and the mediation shall be conducted in English and at a mutually agreed location or through a virtual platform.

Step 3: Arbitration

If mediation does not result in a mutually satisfactory resolution, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or a similar internationally recognized body. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding on both parties. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the parties agree to waive any right to bring the dispute in court or to participate in a class action.

Note: By accepting these terms, users expressly waive any right to a jury trial and agree that all disputes will be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in this clause.
