1. Overview
Dealide connects founders and investors via a swipe-matching experience. We provide introductions and discovery tools; we do not participate in or guarantee any investment, and we are not a broker‑dealer, investment adviser, or crowdfunding portal.
2. Definitions
- “Service” means the Dealide websites, mobile apps, DealQuizz competitions, APIs, and related services.
- “User” means any person or entity that creates an account or uses the Service, including Founders and Investors.
- “Content” means information you upload or provide, including profiles, metrics, messages, and quiz responses.
2. Eligibility & Accounts
You must be legally able to form a binding contract and, if using Dealide as an investor, satisfy applicable accreditation/eligibility requirements under your jurisdiction. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and any activity under your account.
3. Acceptable Use
- No harassment, discrimination, fraud, doxxing, scraping, or reverse engineering.
- No posting unlawful, infringing, or misleading content or metrics.
- No attempts to bypass rate limits or abuse the matching experience.
4. Verification; Screening
We may (but are not required to) request identity or eligibility verification to reduce fraud and maintain platform integrity. Failure to complete verification may limit or suspend access.

You retain ownership of your content. You grant Dealide a worldwide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free license to host, display, and transmit your content as necessary to provide the service. You represent that you have rights to the content you submit.
6. Matches & Communications
Matches occur when both parties express interest. After a match, investors initiate the first message on‑platform. Parties may choose to communicate off‑platform, but Dealide is not responsible for communications or outcomes between users.
7. No Investment Advice; No Guarantees
Dealide is an information and matching platform only. We do not provide investment advice or recommendations and do not guarantee any funding, outcome, valuation, or investor availability. All due diligence is the responsibility of each party.
8. Due Diligence & Risk
Users are solely responsible for verifying identities, performing independent due diligence, and complying with applicable laws (including securities laws). Dealide is not a party to any agreements between users and disclaims liability relating to deals, negotiations, or communications.
9. Subscriptions, Billing, and Auto‑Renew
Paid features may be offered via mobile app stores and will auto‑renew unless cancelled according to the platform’s policies. Prices are subject to change with notice as required by law and applicable platforms.
10. Cancellations & Refunds
Refunds for purchases made through app stores are handled by the app store. For purchases made directly with Dealide (if any), our refund policy will apply.
11. DealQuizz: Competitions & Prizes
- DealQuizz is a skill‑based competition; no purchase is necessary unless explicitly stated. Void where prohibited.
- Prizes may include equity‑free cash awards. We reserve the right to disqualify entries or cancel awards for suspected cheating, fraud, automation, or policy violations.
