Terms of
Service.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Venture Biz Care LLC ("VentureSuite," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), a limited liability company organized in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States (File Number: 6623365), governing your access to and use of the VentureSuite platform ("Platform").

These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy, Data Protection Policy, Cookie Policy, and Refund Terms, all of which form part of the binding agreement between you and VentureSuite.

We reserve the right to amend these Terms at any time. Material changes will be notified via email or in-platform notice at least 30 days before taking effect. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

• You must be at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts under the laws of your jurisdiction.
• Founders must represent a legally incorporated entity (or be in the process of incorporating) with genuine fundraising intent.
• Investors must be accredited investors, qualified institutional buyers, or otherwise authorised to participate in private market investments under applicable law in their jurisdiction.
• You must not be located in or be a national of a country subject to comprehensive sanctions by the United Nations, India, the USA, the EU, or the UK.

• You agree to provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information during registration and to keep your account information current.
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
• You must notify us immediately at legal@theventuresuite.com if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

• Corporate accounts require a designated administrator who accepts responsibility for the actions of all users under that account.

VentureSuite provides a governed capital marketplace and infrastructure platform that facilitates structured engagement between founders and verified investors. The Platform includes:

As a founder using VentureSuite, you specifically agree to the following:

• Accuracy of information: All information provided in your campaign, readiness profile, and data room is accurate, complete, and not misleading. You will update your campaign promptly if material information changes.
• No misrepresentation: You will not misrepresent your traction, revenue, team, IP ownership, legal status, or any other material fact. Misrepresentation is grounds for immediate account termination and may expose you to legal liability.
• Legal entity: You represent that your startup is legally incorporated or that you intend to incorporate before accepting any investment facilitated through the Platform.
• Regulatory compliance: You are responsible for ensuring that your fundraising activities comply with applicable laws in your jurisdiction, including any SEBI regulations on private placements and issue of securities.
• Investor communication: All substantive communications with investors regarding your fundraise must occur through the Platform until an intro is accepted. Off-platform solicitation of investors identified through VentureSuite is prohibited.
• Data room content: You are solely responsible for the content of your data room. Do not upload documents that contain third-party confidential information without authorisation, or materials that violate intellectual property rights.
• No simultaneous platforms: You may use VentureSuite alongside other platforms, but must not represent to investors on VentureSuite that your raise is "exclusive" to the platform unless it is.

As a verified investor using VentureSuite, you specifically agree to the following:

• Genuine investment intent: You access the Platform for genuine investment evaluation purposes only. You will not use investor access for competitive intelligence gathering, recruitment, or any purpose other than evaluating investments.
• Confidentiality: All information accessed through the Platform — including campaign data, financial information, and data room documents — is confidential. You will not share, distribute, or disclose such information to any third party without the founder's written consent, except to your own investment team on a need-to-know basis.
• Responsive engagement: If you accept an intro request, you are obligated to respond to the founder within a reasonable time (we recommend 5 business days). Persistent non-responsiveness after accepting intros constitutes "ghost investor" behaviour and may result in your access being suspended.
• Accurate thesis: Your stated investment thesis, sector preferences, and ticket size must be accurate. Misrepresenting your thesis to gain access to campaigns outside your stated focus is a violation of these Terms.
• Accreditation: You confirm that you are an accredited investor or otherwise legally authorised to invest in private companies in your jurisdiction. You will maintain this status throughout your use of the Platform.
• No data room forwarding: Documents accessed through the data room may not be forwarded to third parties without explicit written consent from the founder. This includes sharing links, screenshots, or summaries with external parties.

The Platform, including its scoring algorithms, matching engine, design, code, trademarks, logos, and all proprietary technology, is owned by Venture Biz Care LLC and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Platform solely for the purposes described in these Terms.

You retain all intellectual property rights in content you submit to the Platform (pitch decks, financial models, campaign descriptions, etc.). By uploading content, you grant VentureSuite a limited, non-exclusive licence to store, process, and display that content for the purpose of operating the Platform — including showing your campaign to matched investors and enabling data room access to authorised investors.

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Platform, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use that feedback without any obligation of compensation or attribution.

The following activities are strictly prohibited on VentureSuite and may result in immediate account termination and/or legal action:

• Providing false, misleading, or fraudulent information in any part of your profile, campaign, or communications.
• Using the Platform to solicit investments in violation of applicable securities laws.
• Attempting to access accounts, data, or systems belonging to other users without authorisation.
• Uploading malware, viruses, or any code designed to interfere with the Platform's operation.
• Scraping, crawling, or extracting data from the Platform by automated means without our written consent.
• Using investor contact information obtained through the Platform for any purpose other than the specific investment conversation facilitated through the Platform.
• Circumventing the Platform's structured deal process by taking deal conversations off-platform before the intro stage.
• Impersonating another person, entity, or VentureSuite employee.
• Using the Platform in any manner that could damage VentureSuite's reputation or the integrity of the marketplace.
• Engaging in market manipulation, wash transactions, or artificial deal signalling to improve campaign visibility.

Subscription payments and refund terms are governed by our standalone Refund Terms Policy. Key provisions are summarised below:

• Subscription billing: Paid subscriptions are billed monthly or annually in advance. Prices are displayed inclusive of applicable GST where required.
• 14-day free trial: All paid founder plans include a 14-day free trial. No charge is made until day 15. You may cancel before day 15 with no obligation.
• Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. No partial-period refunds unless required by applicable law.
• Annual subscriptions: Annual subscriptions that are cancelled within 14 days of purchase may receive a pro-rated refund for unused months. After 14 days, annual subscriptions are non-refundable except as required by law.
• No success fee: VentureSuite does not charge a success fee, commission, or carry on any investment facilitated through the Platform. Your subscription is the entirety of your financial obligation to us.
• Payment disputes: Any billing disputes must be raised within 60 days of the charge. Disputes raised after this period will not be eligible for refunds.

VentureSuite does not guarantee that any founder will raise capital, that any investor will make an investment, or that any introduction facilitated through the Platform will result in a successful transaction. The Platform provides infrastructure and matching — outcomes depend entirely on the decisions of the parties involved.

We aim for 99.5% uptime but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Planned maintenance will be communicated in advance. We are not liable for losses arising from Platform downtime.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, VentureSuite's aggregate liability to you for any claims arising from your use of the Platform shall not exceed the total subscription fees paid by you in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for:

• Indirect, consequential, incidental, special, or punitive damages of any kind.
• Loss of profit, revenue, data, or investment opportunity.
• Damages arising from reliance on information displayed on the Platform.
• Actions or omissions of other users of the Platform.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability that cannot be excluded by applicable law.

You may terminate your account at any time by going to Settings → Account → Delete Account, or by contacting us at legal@theventuresuite.com. Termination will take effect immediately for free accounts, and at the end of the current billing period for paid subscriptions.

We may suspend or terminate your account immediately, without notice, if we determine that you have:

• Violated any provision of these Terms, our Privacy Policy, or other applicable policies.
• Engaged in fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal activity.
• Engaged in "ghost investor" behaviour as defined in our Platform Constitution.
• Provided materially false information in your application, profile, or campaign.
• Failed to pay subscription fees after reasonable notice.

Upon termination: your account is deactivated, your campaign is archived (not deleted), investor access to your data room is immediately revoked, and your data is retained per our Data Retention schedule. You may request a data export before account deletion.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of India, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Before commencing any formal proceedings, you agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting us at legal@theventuresuite.com and allowing 30 days for resolution.

If informal resolution fails, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the International Arbitration Centre, Bangalore, under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The seat of arbitration shall be Bengaluru, Karnataka. The arbitration shall be conducted in English by a sole arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties.

Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or restrain ongoing harm, without waiving the right to arbitration.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right.
