3. Eligibility and your account
You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract to use the Platform. You act either on your own behalf or as an authorised representative of the organisation you register.
You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information when registering and to keep it up to date. New accounts require email verification before they can sign in. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorised use.
4. The marketplace — our role
DealFlow provides a venue that connects Buyers, Businesses and Intermediaries. We are an intermediary platform only. We are not a party to, and take no responsibility for, any negotiation, agreement, non-disclosure agreement, or transaction between Users. We do not act as a broker, advisor, agent, or fiduciary, and we provide no investment, legal, tax, or financial advice. Any decision to enter into a transaction is yours alone, and you are responsible for conducting your own due diligence.
We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, quality, or legality of any Listing or other content provided by Users, nor that any transaction will be concluded.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- provide false, misleading, or fraudulent information, including misrepresenting a business's financials or your identity, mandate, or financial capacity;
- use the Platform for any unlawful purpose, including money laundering, fraud, or circumventing sanctions;
- misuse, scrape, harvest, or republish other Users' data or confidential information;
- upload malware, attempt to gain unauthorised access, or disrupt the Platform; or
- infringe the intellectual property or privacy rights of others.
6. Confidentiality, NDAs and documents
The Platform lets Users sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to unlock access to confidential documents. Any NDA is a contract between the relevant Users; DealFlow hosts it but is not a signatory and assumes no liability under it. You are solely responsible for the terms you agree to, for the documents you upload, and for how you handle confidential information you access.
You grant other Users access to your confidential materials at your own risk and must ensure you have the right to share anything you upload.
7. Verification and review
We may review and verify Buyer profiles and Listings before granting full access or publishing them. Review is at our discretion; we may approve, reject, request changes, suspend, or remove an account or Listing — for example where information appears inaccurate, where a User breaches these Terms, or to comply with the law. Administrative actions on the Platform are logged for security and audit purposes.
8. Your content
You retain ownership of the content you submit (Listings, documents, messages, profile data). You grant DealFlow a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, and display that content as necessary to operate and provide the Platform. You are responsible for ensuring your content is lawful and that you hold the rights needed to share it.
9. Intellectual property
The Platform, its software, design, and trademarks are owned by DealFlow or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property law. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the Platform in accordance with these Terms. No other rights are granted.
10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Dutch law, the Platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any outcome will be achieved.
To the extent permitted by law, DealFlow is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, lost opportunities, or for the acts, omissions, content, or breaches of any User. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory law, including statutory rights you may have as a consumer.
11. Suspension and termination
You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Platform or other Users. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) continue to apply.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will publish the updated version with a new version number and effective date. For material changes we will notify you and, where appropriate, ask you to accept the updated Terms before continuing to use the Platform.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands. Unless mandatory law provides otherwise, any dispute will be submitted to the competent court in Haarlem, the Netherlands. Consumers retain the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of their country of residence.
