Terms of Service

§1Eligibility and accounts

The Services are intended for use by businesses and professionals aged eighteen (18) or older. By registering for an account you represent that (a) you are at least eighteen (18); (b) you have full legal capacity to enter into these Terms; (c) the information you provide is accurate and complete; and (d) your use of the Services will comply with all laws applicable to you, including any sanctions, securities, anti-money-laundering, and export-control laws.

You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at security@buysidersgroup.com if you suspect unauthorised access. We may suspend or terminate accounts that we reasonably believe have been compromised or are being used in breach of these Terms.

§2Subscriptions, fees, and billing

Some Services are offered free of charge; others require a paid subscription. Fees, billing intervals, and any free-trial conditions are presented at the point of purchase. By subscribing you authorise us and our payment processors to charge the payment method you provide for all applicable fees, plus any taxes, on a recurring basis until you cancel.

Unless required by law, fees are non-refundable once charged, and partial billing periods are not prorated on cancellation. We may change pricing or introduce new fees with reasonable notice (no less than thirty (30) days for material price increases on existing subscriptions). Continuing to use a paid Service after the effective date of a price change constitutes acceptance of the new price.

§3License and ownership

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of any applicable fees, Buysiders grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your internal business or personal-professional purposes. This license does not transfer any ownership rights.

The Services, including all software, source code, designs, trademarks, logos, editorial content, datasets, compilations, and the look-and-feel of our properties, are owned by Buysiders or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, database-right, and other intellectual-property laws. The Buysiders name, the Buysiders wordmark, and all related marks are trademarks of Buysiders Group. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our trademarks without our prior written consent.

§4Acceptable use

You agree that you will not, and will not permit any third party to:

• Use the Services in violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right;
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of any part of the Services, except to the limited extent applicable law expressly permits this notwithstanding contractual restriction;
• Scrape, crawl, or systematically harvest content from the Services other than via interfaces we expressly designate for that purpose, and only in accordance with the documented rate limits;
• Re-distribute, re-sell, sub-license, or otherwise commercially exploit our editorial content, datasets, or any portion thereof, without our prior written authorisation;
• Use the Services to build or train competing datasets, machine-learning models, or services without our prior written authorisation;
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Services or breach any security or authentication measure;
• Use the Services to transmit malware, spam, or any content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, deceptive, or infringing;
• Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services or the data contained therein.

We may investigate suspected violations and cooperate with law enforcement to prosecute users who violate these Terms or applicable law.

§5User content

You retain ownership of any content you submit to the Services (“User Content”), including profile information, comments, drafts, and uploads. By submitting User Content, you grant Buysiders a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sub-licensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting and accessibility), display, and distribute that User Content solely as necessary to operate, secure, and improve the Services. You represent that you have all rights necessary to grant this license and that your User Content does not infringe any third-party right.

We may, but are not obliged to, review User Content and may remove or refuse to publish User Content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or applicable law.

§6Third-party data and content

The Services surface information sourced from publicly available filings and registries (including, without limitation, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings such as Form D and EDGAR, Y Combinator’s public company directory, and Wikidata), as well as content from third-party publishers, market-data vendors, and chart providers. We aggregate, normalise, and re-format such information for presentation, but we do not warrant its accuracy, completeness, currency, or fitness for any particular purpose. Use of third-party content may be subject to the licence terms of the original source.

The Services may contain links to third-party websites. Buysiders is not responsible for the content, practices, or policies of any third-party site and provides such links solely for convenience.

§7Beta features

From time to time we may offer features, products, or services identified as “beta,” “preview,” or otherwise pre-release (collectively, “Beta Features”). Beta Features are provided “as is” without any warranties, may be unstable or contain errors, may be modified or withdrawn at any time, and should not be used for production-critical workflows. Feedback you provide regarding Beta Features may be used by us without restriction or compensation.

§8Privacy

Our handling of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

§9No investment, legal, tax, or professional advice

The Services are an information and intelligence product, not a regulated financial advisory service. Buysiders is not registered as an investment adviser, broker-dealer, securities exchange, alternative trading system, fund manager, financial planner, or other regulated financial-services entity in any jurisdiction. Content available through the Services, including editorial articles, screeners, watchlists, charts, market data, company profiles, and any commentary published in the Workspace, is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.

Nothing on the Services should be construed as (a) investment, legal, tax, accounting, or other professional advice; (b) an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy, sell, hold, or transact in any security, derivative, digital asset, currency, commodity, or other instrument; (c) a forecast or guarantee of any investment outcome; or (d) an endorsement of any particular issuer, fund, or counterparty. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Markets are volatile and you may lose some or all of any amount invested. Before acting on any information obtained through the Services, you should consult your own qualified legal, tax, and investment advisers and conduct your own due diligence.

Where the Services display third-party content (analyst opinions, broker reports, social posts, embeds), such content reflects the views of its author, not of Buysiders, and is reproduced for informational purposes.

§10Disclaimers

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. BUYSIDERS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT THE INFORMATION DELIVERED THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT.

§11Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BUYSIDERS, ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY (A) INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; (B) LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS; OR (C) DAMAGES RESULTING FROM RELIANCE ON INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICES OR FROM INVESTMENT DECISIONS MADE BY YOU. OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, IN AGGREGATE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (I) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO BUYSIDERS FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (II) ONE HUNDRED SINGAPORE DOLLARS (S$100). THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF BUYSIDERS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW (FOR EXAMPLE, LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, FOR FRAUD, OR FOR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT MAY NOT BE EXCLUDED).

§12Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Buysiders, its affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your User Content, (b) your use of the Services in breach of these Terms or applicable law, or (c) your violation of any third-party right.

§13Suspension and termination

You may terminate your account at any time through the in-product settings or by writing to support@buysidersgroup.com. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services (with or without notice) if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms or applicable law, if continued provision of the Services to you would expose Buysiders to legal or regulatory risk, or if your account has been inactive for an extended period. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15) will survive.

§14Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Buysiders Group operates, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction for the resolution of any such dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buysiders may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.

Where you are a consumer resident in a jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer-protection laws would be violated by the foregoing, this clause applies to the maximum extent permitted by law and otherwise your local mandatory law governs.

§15General

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any order-specific terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and Buysiders regarding the Services and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject matter.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Notices. We may give notice through the Services, by email, or by posting on our website. You may give notice to us at legal@buysidersgroup.com.

Force majeure. Neither party will be liable for failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by events beyond its reasonable control.

§16Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make a material change, we will post the updated Terms with a new “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, provide notice by email or in-product banner. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Services.
