Terms of Service.

Last updated: [EFFECTIVE DATE]

These terms form an agreement between you and Safqos Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Safqos", "we", "us") covering the Safqos mobile application, the safqos.com website, and related services (the "Service"). Creating an account or using the Service means you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.

1. Definitions

• Member. A person or entity admitted to the Service with an active account.
• Deal Information. Anything a member submits or shares about a business, raise, or transaction, including profile fields, financial figures, documents, and messages.
• NDA. Any non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement entered into between members through the Service, including supplements and amendments.
• Vault. The gated area where documents sit until an NDA is accepted.
• SafPass. The unique code that lets another member find your profile directly.
• Signals. Fit Score, Risk Signals and the itemized findings behind them, profile completeness, and similar computed indicators.

2. Who can use Safqos

You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter into contracts. Membership is by application, and admission is at our discretion. Accounts are personal to you. Do not share credentials and do not let anyone else use your account. Where you use the Service on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorised to bind it.

3. What Safqos is

Safqos is a private marketplace that helps investors, startup founders, and business owners find each other and begin a conversation. We surface counterparties, compute Signals from what members submit, gate sensitive material behind mutual NDAs, and provide a place to talk.

4. What Safqos is not

Using the Service creates no advisory, brokerage, fiduciary, agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between you and Safqos. Negotiation, diligence, legal documentation, and the movement of money happen directly between you and the other party, outside the Service.

5. Nothing here is advice

Nothing in the Service is investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice. Every decision you make is yours. Take your own professional advice before you commit to anything.

AI call notes summarize what was said on a call. They are not advice, a recommendation or an evaluation, and they are not a record of any agreement between members.

6. Your representations

Each time you use the Service you represent that the information in your profile is accurate and current, that you have the right to share anything you upload, and that sharing it breaches no confidentiality obligation you owe to anyone else.

If you participate as an investor, you further represent that you are permitted under the laws that apply to you to receive information about private investment opportunities, and that you meet any investor qualification standard that applies to a specific opportunity you pursue. We do not verify these representations, and responsibility for them rests with you.

7. We do not validate or endorse member information

Deal Information comes from members. We do not audit it, confirm it, or control it, and we accept no responsibility for it. A profile appearing on the Service is not a statement by us that anything in it is true.

We may ask you to substantiate something you have submitted. Respond promptly and accurately if we do. We may remove or restrict content we believe to be false, misleading, or in breach of these terms, and we are not obliged to look for such content.

8. Fit Score, Risk Signals, and other signals

Signals are computed from information members submit about themselves. They are not credit scores, securities ratings, actuarial assessments, audits, or verification of any underlying fact.

A high Fit Score or favorable Risk Signals are a starting point for your own diligence and never a substitute for it. We may change how Signals are calculated at any time, and a change may alter how deals appear to you.

The order deals appear in is not a ranking of merit and is not a recommendation. It is computed from Signals together with a profile quality measure, recency of activity, stated timeline, and any paid visibility boost a member has bought. A member may pay to appear higher in other members’ feeds.

9. Verification and what it means

Identity, revenue, and investor verification are not available during the TestFlight beta; phone verification is the only check currently in the product. When verification is available, a verified badge will mean documents were provided and checked at a point in time. It is not a warranty about that member's honesty, solvency, competence, authority, or ability to complete a transaction, and it is not an endorsement. Do your own diligence on anyone you deal with.

10. Your content

You keep ownership of everything you upload, including your profile, documents, financials, and messages. You grant us a non-exclusive licence to host, store, display, and process that material as needed to run the Service, which includes producing AI summaries where you use those features, and sharing it with counterparties you choose.

The licence lasts as long as we hold the content and ends when it is deleted, except where we must retain a copy under law.

11. NDAs between members

When two members accept a mutual NDA through the Service, they form a binding contract with each other. Safqos is not a party to it.

We provide the mechanism, record acceptance, and timestamp it. We do not enforce an NDA on your behalf and we are not liable for another member's breach of one. Your remedy for a breach is against the member who breached it. On request, and where legally appropriate, we can provide records showing who accepted what and when.

Gating controls who can open a document. Once a counterparty has properly opened one, they have seen it, and watermarking discourages onward sharing rather than preventing it. What counts as confidential, how long the duty runs, and which exceptions apply are governed by the NDA you accepted, so read it before accepting.

12. Using another member's information

Deal Information you receive through the Service is for evaluating and negotiating that opportunity, and for nothing else.

Pitch room recordings, transcripts and AI call notes are member information for the purposes of this section and of any NDA between you.

Unless the disclosing member agrees otherwise in writing, you may not pass it to any third party, except to your own advisers and co-investors who need it for that evaluation and who are bound to keep it confidential. You may not use it to compete with the disclosing member, to solicit their employees or customers, or to approach their counterparties. You may not scrape, copy, or redistribute member information or platform data, or use it to build a competing product or database.

13. Acceptable use

Do not use the Service to:

• Misrepresent who you are, what you do, or the state of your business.
• Publicly offer or advertise securities, or conduct a general solicitation.
• Contact members for anything outside the purpose of the marketplace, including unsolicited sales, recruiting, or fundraising for unrelated ventures.
• Circumvent NDA gating, or attempt to access material you have not been granted.
• Record, photograph or capture a pitch room call by any means other than the Service's own recording, which requires both participants' agreement, unless the other participant has agreed.
• Reverse engineer the Service, or interfere with its operation, integrity, or security.
• Upload malware, or anything unlawful, defamatory, or infringing.

14. Fees

Core use of the Service is free. Optional paid features are available during the TestFlight beta, including subscription tiers and Safqos Credits, a virtual currency used to buy boosts, Direct Pitches, and similar features. Credits have no cash value and are non-transferable. Subscriptions and credit purchases are billed through the app store you bought them in and are governed by that store's rules, including its refund policy. We will tell you before you are charged for anything, and we take no fee on any transaction between members.

15. Beta software

The Service is pre-release. It may change, break, or lose data. Keep your own copies of anything that matters to you.

16. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and ask us to delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these terms, that we reasonably believe presents a risk to other members or to Safqos, or where we are legally required to. Where it is practical and lawful to do so, we will tell you why.

17. Survival

Sections 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23 survive termination, along with any NDA you accepted, which continues on its own terms.

18. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent the law allows, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, error-free, or secure, that any member is who they claim to be, that any information on the Service is accurate, or that any introduction will produce a transaction or any particular outcome.

19. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Safqos is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, nor for lost profits, lost opportunities, lost goodwill, lost data, or any loss arising from a transaction or dealing between you and another member, including a member's breach of an NDA.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of one hundred dollars ($100) or the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, and in those places these limits apply only so far as permitted.

20. Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold Safqos harmless against claims, losses, and reasonable legal costs arising from your use of the Service, your content, your dealings with other members, or your breach of these terms.

21. Dispute resolution and arbitration

Talk to us first. Email support@safqos.com with the details, and we will try to resolve it informally within 30 days.

If that fails, any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its rules, seated in [VENUE]. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you and Safqos each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to bring or participate in a class, collective, or representative action. Some states, including California and Georgia, do not permit a pre-dispute jury waiver, and this waiver does not apply where it is prohibited. Either party may still bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or confidential information.

This section does not apply to disputes between members. Those are governed by whatever the members agreed between themselves, including any NDA.

Sexual assault and sexual harassment claims. This section does not require arbitration of a sexual assault dispute or a sexual harassment dispute. Under the federal Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act, 9 U.S.C. sections 401 and 402, if you allege conduct constituting such a dispute, you may choose whether it goes to arbitration. If you choose not to arbitrate, neither the agreement to arbitrate nor the waiver of class, collective, or representative actions in this section applies to that dispute, and you may bring it in court. In accordance with the federal Speak Out Act, 136 Stat. 2290, nothing in these terms is intended to prohibit disclosure relating to such a dispute.

22. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.

23. General provisions

These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Safqos about the Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest stays in force and the unenforceable provision is narrowed only as far as needed. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or to an acquirer of the business. Neither party is liable for failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control. We may give you notice in the app, by email, or on this website.

24. Changes

We may update these terms. Where a change is material, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect and update the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the updated terms.
