Terms of Service

FINSTIG is operated by Finstig AB, registered in Sweden under company number 559544-2863 ("FINSTIG", "we", "us"). "You" means the person using the service, and where you use it on behalf of a company, that company.

FINSTIG is a founder intelligence platform. It guides you through structured conversations with an AI advisor, builds a knowledge base about your venture from your answers, and produces guidance, plans and suggested actions from it.

FINSTIG does not provide legal, financial, tax, accounting or investment advice. Everything the service produces is guidance and structure to help you think, not a professional opinion you can rely on. AI-generated output can be incomplete or wrong. Every decision about your business remains yours, and you are responsible for verifying anything material with a qualified professional before acting on it.

The service is in beta. Features may change, be added or be withdrawn, output quality will vary, and we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability or that data will never be lost. Export anything you cannot afford to lose.

• Accounts are personal. Do not share your credentials, and tell us immediately if you think someone else has access.
• Two-factor authentication is mandatory. You are responsible for keeping access to your authenticator device.
• You must give accurate account and profile information and keep it up to date.
• You must be at least 18 years old to use the service.
• When you invite co-founders or team members into a venture, you are responsible for who you give access to and at what level.

You must not:

• use the service for anything unlawful, or to plan or further unlawful activity
• upload content you have no right to share, including someone else's confidential or personal data
• attempt to access another venture's data, probe or circumvent our security, or interfere with the service
• reverse engineer, decompile, scrape or systematically extract the service, its prompts, its advisor design or its underlying method
• resell, sublicense or provide the service to third parties as your own
• use the service to build or train a competing product

If you breach these terms we may suspend or close your account. Where the breach is minor and fixable, we will normally contact you first.

You own your content. The information you enter, the answers you give and the business knowledge built from them belong to you. We claim no ownership over your business, your ideas or your plans.

We own the platform. FINSTIG, its software, its interfaces, its advisor design, prompts, question sets, task libraries, scoring models and the underlying method are our intellectual property and remain so. Nothing in these terms transfers any of it to you. Your access is a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the service for your own venture while your account is open.

Licence you give us. You grant us a licence to host, process and analyse your content solely to provide, secure and improve the service for you, and — if your venture takes part in the benchmark — to derive anonymous statistics from it as described in section 7. This licence ends when your content is deleted, other than for anonymous derived statistics, which by then cannot be linked back to you.

Participation in the FINSTIG benchmark is per venture, on by default and changeable in Settings at any time. While a venture participates, we record one row of anonymous numeric and categorical measures about it each month, as described in the Privacy Policy. No free text, no names and no workspace content are included.

The resulting aggregate dataset is our property. We may use, publish and license it as aggregate statistics, including commercially. Rows already recorded remain in the dataset if participation is later turned off or the venture is deleted, because they are anonymous and cannot be linked back to you. We will not publish statistics that identify an individual venture.

If your venture joins a programme run by an accelerator, incubator or investor, you choose which categories of information that programme's managers can see, and you can change that choice or leave the programme at any time. We are not responsible for what a programme does with information you choose to share with it; your relationship with that organisation is separate from these terms.

During beta the service is provided at no charge unless separately agreed in writing. If we introduce fees, we will give notice before they apply to you and you may close your account instead.

You may stop using the service and close your account at any time. You can delete a venture and its content yourself. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these terms, for legal reasons, or on 30 days' notice if we discontinue the service. Sections 6, 7, 11 and 12 survive termination.

If FINSTIG is sold, merged or its assets transferred, your account, your content, the consents you have given and the anonymous benchmark dataset may transfer to the acquirer. Any acquirer is bound by these terms and by the Privacy Policy as they stand at the time of transfer, including the restrictions on how the benchmark dataset may be used. If an acquirer wants to use your data in a materially different way, they must ask you first. We will notify you before any such transfer takes effect.

The service is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law we exclude implied warranties, including fitness for a particular purpose, and we are not liable for lost profits, lost revenue, lost business opportunity, lost data or indirect or consequential loss.

Our total liability to you in any twelve-month period is limited to the fees you paid us in that period. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death, personal injury or fraud. Where you use the service as a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.

We may update these terms. If a change is material we will tell you inside the product before it takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the updated terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of Sweden, and disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Stockholm, Sweden, without affecting any mandatory rights you have as a consumer in your country of residence.
