End User Agreement

ElevateVia Platform · End-User License Agreement and Terms of Service · Effective 29 September 2026 · Last updated 1 October 2026

These Terms of Service and End-User License Agreement (“Agreement” or “EULA”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User,” “you,” or “your”—whether as a Creator/founder or Elevator/investor, individually or on behalf of an entity) and ElevateVia L.L.C-FZ, operating the ElevateVia platform (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), accessible at elevatevia.com and related services (collectively, the “Platform” or “Service”).

By accessing, registering for, or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by this Agreement, our Privacy Policy, and any additional terms (including mutual NDAs generated on platform). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Description of the Service

ElevateVia is a trust-first, cross-border matchmaking platform that connects verified founders seeking capital (“Creators”) with investors (“Elevators”). Features include:

• Profile creation and listing (with sector, stage, geography, raise target, investment thesis, etc.).
• Document-based verification and proprietary Confidence Score (a structured measure of verified information and supporting documents provided by the founder; it is not investment advice or a recommendation).
• Thesis-driven discovery and matching based on criteria such as sector, stage, geography, and ticket size.
• Expression of interest, mutual acceptance, private Virtual Data Rooms, e-signed mutual NDAs, and diligence tools.
• The Platform facilitates introductions and secure information exchange. We do not broker, underwrite, advise on, rank, guarantee, or participate in any investment, securities transaction, or deal. All investment decisions and transactions occur solely between Users. We are not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, or equivalent under applicable securities laws.

2. Eligibility and Account Registration

• You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and have the legal capacity to enter contracts.
• Creators and Elevators must provide accurate information. Profiles require email verification; certain features require paid membership (see pricing page).
• You represent that all information and documents you submit are true, accurate, complete, and not misleading. False or incomplete information may result in suspension or termination.
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account.
• We reserve the right to refuse, suspend, or terminate accounts, including for verification failures or violations.

3. License Grant and Restrictions

Subject to this Agreement and payment of any applicable fees:

• We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Platform solely for its intended purposes (raising capital as a Creator or evaluating opportunities as an Elevator) in accordance with this Agreement.
• You may not: reverse-engineer, decompile, scrape, or copy the Platform or its technology (including the Confidence Score engine); use it for unlawful purposes; upload malware or harmful content; interfere with other Users or the Service; or use automated means without permission.
• All rights not expressly granted are reserved by us. The Platform, software, Confidence Score methodology, designs, trademarks (“ElevateVia,” etc.), and content (excluding User Content) are our intellectual property.

4. User Content, Verification, and Confidentiality

• You retain ownership of content and documents you upload (“User Content”). By uploading, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, process, display (as needed for the Service), and use it to operate the Platform (including generating Confidence Scores and facilitating matches/data rooms).
• Creators: Documents support the Confidence Score and remain locked until both parties e-sign a mutual NDA in a private data room. You control disclosure timing.
• Elevators: Access to sensitive materials is gated by mutual NDA acceptance.
• You are solely responsible for your User Content and ensuring you have rights to share it. Do not upload anything that infringes third-party rights or violates law.
• We perform document checks for listing but do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or investment merit of any profile or document. Confidence Scores measure verification extent only.
• Confidentiality obligations between Users are governed by the on-platform mutual NDA. We implement technical measures to keep documents private by default until conditions are met, but we are not liable for User breaches of NDAs or misuse of shared information.

5. Fees and Membership

• Certain features (listing, matching, data rooms) require paid membership. Fees are as stated on the pricing page and are non-refundable except as required by law or our explicit policy.
• We may change fees with notice. Failure to pay may result in suspension of features or account.

6. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the Platform for any illegal activity, including unregistered securities offerings, fraud, money laundering, or sanctions violations.
• Misrepresent your identity, credentials, company, raise, or investment capacity.
• Harass, spam, or solicit Users off-platform in violation of rules.
• Circumvent verification, NDA gates, or access controls.
• Share login credentials or allow unauthorized access.

We may investigate and take action (including content removal, account termination, or reporting to authorities) for violations.

7. Disclaimers

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY OF MATCHES/SCORES). We do not warrant uninterrupted, error-free, or secure service; successful fundraising or investments; or the reliability of any User, document, or opportunity. Investment involves risk of loss. Past or indicated activity is not indicative of future results. You should conduct your own due diligence and consult independent legal, financial, and tax advisors. Cross-border transactions may involve additional regulatory, currency, tax, and compliance requirements—Users are solely responsible for compliance.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE (AND OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, DATA LOSS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION), OR FOR ANY INVESTMENT LOSSES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE PLATFORM OR THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM (OR USD $100 IF GREATER/NO FEES PAID). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in such cases, liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the Platform, User Content, violation of this Agreement or law, or interactions/transactions with other Users.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access immediately for breach, inactivity, legal/regulatory reasons, or at our discretion. Upon termination, your license ends; provisions that by nature should survive (IP, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, governing law) will survive. Data retention follows our Privacy Policy.

11. Privacy and Data

Use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy. We process personal data and documents as needed to provide verification, matching, and data-room features. Cross-border data transfers may occur.

12. Modifications

We may update this Agreement at any time by posting the revised version on the Platform. Material changes will be notified (e.g., via email or in-app notice) where required. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you disagree, stop using the Service.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Emirate of Dubai, UAE, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute shall first be attempted to be resolved amicably. If unresolved, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Dubai under laws of UAE.
