Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and [Legal entity name](“EvalLense,” “we,” “us”) governing your access to and use of the EvalLense website and service (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

EvalLense is a decision‑support tool for evaluating pitch decks. It collects submissions, runs AI‑assisted evaluation, and produces structured, advisory reports to help human reviewers compare and decide. EvalLense does not make funding, selection, or hiring decisions; those decisions remain with you.

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. You agree to provide accurate account information, to keep your credentials confidential, and to be responsible for activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

You retain ownership of the pitch decks, materials, and data you or your participants submit (“Customer Content”). You grant us a limited license to host, process, and display Customer Content solely to provide the Service to you.

You represent and warrant that:

• you have the rights and any necessary permissions to submit Customer Content and to have it evaluated;
• where you collect materials from participants, you have provided any legally required notices and obtained any required consent; and
• your use of the Service complies with applicable laws and these Terms.

You agree not to:

• use the Service for unlawful, infringing, or harmful purposes;
• submit content that violates third‑party rights or that you are not authorized to share;
• attempt to manipulate, bias, or subvert the evaluation (including embedding hidden instructions or adversarial content in submissions);
• probe, scrape, overload, or interfere with the Service, or circumvent its security; or
• reverse engineer or copy the Service except as permitted by law.

Evaluation reports, scores, and other AI outputs are generated automatically, are advisory, and may contain errors or omissions. They are not professional, legal, financial, or investment advice, and they do not guarantee any outcome. You are responsible for reviewing outputs and for any decision you make. The final decision is always yours.

The Service, including its software, design, and content (excluding Customer Content), is owned by EvalLense and its licensors and is protected by intellectual‑property laws. We grant you a limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable right to use the Service per these Terms. If you send us feedback, you grant us a perpetual, royalty‑free license to use it to improve the Service.

The Service relies on third‑party providers (for example, hosting, authentication, and AI infrastructure). Your use may be subject to those providers’ terms. We are not responsible for third‑party services we do not control.

Paid plans are [not currently offered / to be defined]. If we introduce fees, we will present pricing and payment terms before you incur a charge, and those terms will form part of this agreement.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,”without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non‑infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error‑free, or that outputs will be accurate or reliable. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, EvalLense and its suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed [the greater of amounts paid in the prior 12 months or US$100]. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless EvalLense from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your Customer Content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms or of applicable law.

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms or to protect the Service or its users. On termination, your right to use the Service ends; sections that by their nature should survive (such as content licenses to feedback, disclaimers, liability limits, and indemnities) will survive.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict‑of‑laws rules. You and EvalLense agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California for any dispute not subject to an alternative dispute‑resolution process that the parties separately agree to in writing. [Arbitration / venue specifics to be confirmed.]

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will revise the “Last updated” date and, for material changes, provide reasonable notice. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
