Terms of Service

Effective date: November 3, 2026. Last updated: November 3, 2026.

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and Ventureship (“Ventureship,” “we,” “us” or “our”), the operator of Eve, including the Eve website, web application, application programming interfaces, briefings, alerts, sourcing tools, revenue and payment tools and any related services (together, the “Service”).

By creating an account, clicking to accept these Terms, or accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” refers to that organization. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. The Service is intended for business and professional use. You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under applicable law, including sanctions and export-control laws, or if your account has previously been terminated by us for breach of these Terms.

2. Accounts

To use most features you must register for an account and provide accurate, current and complete information. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential, for all activity that occurs under your account and for promptly notifying us at legal@ventureship.xyz of any unauthorized access or security incident.

If you create a team or organization workspace, you are responsible for the users you invite, their compliance with these Terms and the permissions you assign to them. Account administrators may access, manage and remove content and users within the workspace they administer.

We may refuse registration, reclaim usernames, or require additional verification at our discretion, including to comply with law or to protect the Service and its users.

3. Plans, free tier and paid subscriptions

We offer a free tier and a range of paid plans. Features, usage limits and prices for each plan are described on our pricing page and in any order form you agree to, and may differ between plans.

Free tier. The free tier is provided at no charge, subject to the usage limits that apply to it. We may modify, limit or discontinue features of the free tier at any time. Free tier accounts that remain inactive for an extended period may be deactivated after notice.

Paid plans. Paid plans provide expanded features and usage limits for the fees stated at the time of purchase. Subscription plans are paid in advance and, unless otherwise agreed in writing, renew automatically for successive thirty (30) day terms until cancelled. One-time plans, such as a pass covering a fixed term of a subscription plan, are paid in full upfront, activate when payment is received and do not renew.

Revenue-share plans. Certain plans carry no upfront subscription fee and instead charge a fee calculated as a share of revenue routed through Eve, as described in Section 5.

Enterprise. Enterprise plans are governed by these Terms and by an order form or separate written agreement. If an order form conflicts with these Terms, the order form controls with respect to that conflict.

4. Billing, invoices and payment

Billing cycles. We bill four types of charges. (a) Subscription fees are charged in advance at the start of each thirty (30) day subscription term. (b) Usage charges for usage above the allowance included in your plan, including the free tier, are billed every thirty (30) days; on subscription plans they are added to your next renewal. (c) One-time plans are charged in full upfront, the plan activates when payment is received, and one-time payments are non-refundable except where required by law. (d) Revenue-share fees are invoiced in recurring five (5) day cycles, as described in Section 5. We issue an invoice or receipt for each charge.

Payment method. Invoices are payable by credit or debit card. By providing a card, you authorize us and our payment processors to charge the card for all amounts invoiced, including applicable taxes, when each invoice is issued or becomes due. You agree to keep your payment information current.

Partial payments. Any partial payment you make will be credited to your account and applied against your oldest outstanding invoice first. A partial payment does not cure a past-due balance. Your full outstanding balance must be paid to maintain access to paid features of the Service.

Past-due balances and suspension. If any invoice is not paid in full when due, your account becomes past due. While a balance is past due, we may suspend access to some or all paid features of the Service, including usage of analyst questions, alerts, sourcing tools, API access and revenue tools, until the full outstanding balance has been paid. Access will be restored promptly after the past-due balance is paid in full. Suspension does not relieve you of the obligation to pay amounts owed, and fees continue to accrue for any committed services during suspension unless we agree otherwise in writing.

Taxes. Fees are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for all sales, use, value-added, goods and services and similar taxes associated with your purchases, other than taxes based on our net income.

Price changes. We may change plan prices or introduce new fees with at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice. Changes take effect at the start of the next billing cycle after the notice period. If you do not agree to a change, you may cancel before it takes effect.

Disputes and refunds. If you believe an invoice is incorrect, you must notify us in writing at legal@ventureship.xyz within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Except where required by law or expressly stated in an order form, fees are non-refundable, including for partially used subscription terms, billing cycles and one-time plans.

Collections. We may charge interest on past-due amounts at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, and you agree to reimburse reasonable costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees, incurred to recover past-due amounts.

5. Revenue-share plan fees

If you select a revenue-share plan or use the Service’s revenue and payment features under such a plan, you agree to pay a fee equal to the percentage stated for your plan of the gross revenue routed through Eve, including payments collected through checkout links, invoices and other payment flows created or managed through the Service.

Revenue-share fees accrue when the underlying payment is collected and are invoiced in the recurring five (5) day revenue-share cycles described in Section 4. We may deduct revenue-share fees from amounts collected through the Service before remitting the balance to you, where your configuration allows. Refunds, chargebacks and reversals of underlying payments do not entitle you to a refund of revenue-share fees unless the applicable plan terms state otherwise.

You are solely responsible for your products, services, pricing, sales terms, customer relationships, tax obligations and compliance with laws applicable to your sales. You agree to provide accurate information about transactions routed through Eve and not to structure transactions to avoid revenue-share fees.

6. Cancellation and termination

You may cancel a paid plan at any time from your account settings. Cancellation of a subscription takes effect at the end of the current thirty (30) day term, and cancellation of a revenue-share plan takes effect at the end of the current five (5) day cycle. One-time plans do not renew and simply expire at the end of their term. In each case you remain responsible for all fees accrued through that date.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately if you materially breach these Terms, fail to pay amounts when due, use the Service in a manner that creates legal or security risk, or if required by law. Where reasonable, we will give you notice and an opportunity to cure.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. You may request an export of your content within thirty (30) days after termination, after which we may delete it in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including those on fees owed, intellectual property, confidentiality, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification and governing law.

7. AI outputs and market information

The Service includes features that generate analysis, briefings, answers, scenarios, risk scores and other content using automated and artificial intelligence techniques (“Outputs”), and displays market information such as prices, supply data and policy summaries (“Market Information”).

Not advice. Outputs and Market Information are provided for general informational purposes only. They do not constitute investment, financial, trading, legal, tax, accounting, regulatory, export-control compliance or other professional advice, and they are not an offer, solicitation or recommendation to buy or sell any commodity, security or other instrument.

Indicative prices. Prices shown in the Service are indicative only. They may not reflect actual transaction prices, may be delayed, estimated or incomplete, and are not quotes, bids or offers. Final prices and terms of any transaction are determined solely between the transacting parties.

Accuracy. Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated or inconsistent, and similar prompts may produce different Outputs. You are responsible for independently verifying Outputs and Market Information before relying on them and for all decisions you make. You should consult qualified professional advisers before making investment, commercial, legal or compliance decisions.

Your inputs. You are responsible for the content you submit to the Service, including prompts and files, and you must have all rights necessary to submit it. As between you and us, you own your inputs and, to the extent permitted by law, the Outputs generated for you, subject to our rights in the Service and these Terms.

8. Sourcing and counterparties

The Service may help you discover, contact and evaluate potential counterparties, post requests for quotation and manage opportunities. Ventureship is not a party to any transaction between users or between you and third parties, does not act as a broker, agent, dealer or fiduciary, and does not guarantee the identity, quality, legality, solvency or performance of any counterparty, material or transaction.

You are solely responsible for conducting your own due diligence, including know-your-customer, sanctions, export-control, anti-bribery, responsible-sourcing and quality checks, and for the terms of any agreement you enter into.

9. Acceptable use

Your use of the Service must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. Without limiting that policy, you agree not to:

  • violate any applicable law, including sanctions, export-control, anti-corruption, securities, competition and data protection laws;
  • copy, resell, redistribute, sublicense or commercially exploit the Service, Outputs or Market Information except as expressly permitted by your plan;
  • access the Service through automated means not provided by us, or scrape, harvest or bulk-extract data from it;
  • reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to derive the source code, models or underlying methods of the Service, except where such restriction is prohibited by law;
  • use the Service or Outputs to build a competing product or service;
  • interfere with or disrupt the integrity, security or performance of the Service, or attempt to bypass usage limits or access controls;
  • upload malicious code or content that is unlawful, infringing, deceptive or harmful;
  • misrepresent your identity, affiliation or the nature of materials or transactions offered through the Service.

10. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, data compilations, risk scores, briefings templates, trademarks and logos, is owned by Ventureship or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your internal business purposes during your subscription.

You may share individual briefings and Outputs internally and with your professional advisers, and may quote limited excerpts externally with attribution to Eve, provided you do not present them as your own independent research or redistribute Market Information in bulk.

If you provide feedback or suggestions about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use them without restriction or obligation to you.

“Eve,” “Eve Intelligence,” “VentureRails” and related names and logos are trademarks of Ventureship. You may not use them without our prior written permission.

11. Your content and data

You retain all rights in the content and data you submit to the Service (“Customer Data”). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit and display Customer Data solely as needed to provide, secure and improve the Service and as described in our Privacy Policy and, where applicable, our Data Processing Addendum.

We may generate aggregated and de-identified data from use of the Service that does not identify you or any individual, and use it to operate, analyze and improve the Service.

12. Confidentiality

Each party may receive non-public information from the other that is marked confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential (“Confidential Information”). Your Confidential Information includes your Customer Data. Our Confidential Information includes non-public features, pricing and terms offered to you and any non-public information about the Service.

The receiving party will use Confidential Information only to perform under or exercise rights under these Terms, will protect it using at least reasonable care, and will not disclose it except to its employees, contractors and advisers who need to know it and are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as these. Confidential Information does not include information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, was already known without restriction, is independently developed, or is lawfully received from a third party without restriction. A party may disclose Confidential Information if required by law, after giving reasonable notice where legally permitted.

13. Third-party services

The Service may interoperate with or link to third-party websites, payment services and other services that we do not control. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for them.

14. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE, OUTPUTS AND MARKET INFORMATION 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, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY AND QUIET ENJOYMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY OUTPUT OR MARKET INFORMATION WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE OR CURRENT.

15. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL VENTURESHIP OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, DATA OR TRADING LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).

These limitations apply to all theories of liability, including contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability and otherwise, and will apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

16. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Ventureship and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to your Customer Data, your use of the Service in violation of these Terms or applicable law, your transactions with any counterparty, or your products and services sold through the Service.

17. Governing law and disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Subject to any mandatory rights you may have under the law of your place of residence, the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction over any such dispute, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue there. Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or Confidential Information.

Before filing a claim, each party agrees to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting the other party and negotiating in good faith for at least thirty (30) days. Claims must be brought in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, to the extent permitted by law.

18. Export controls and sanctions

You will comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws in your use of the Service and in any transaction you pursue through it. You represent that you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in a comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction, and that you are not on any government restricted-party list.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email, through the Service or by posting a notice on our website at least fifteen (15) days before the changes take effect, unless changes are required sooner by law or relate to new features. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and may cancel your plan.

20. General

These Terms, together with the policies referenced in them and any order form, are the entire agreement between you and Ventureship regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements on that subject. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control. Notices to us must be sent to legal@ventureship.xyz.
