1. Account Responsibilities

  • Accuracy: You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide. Misrepresenting your identity, company stage, or investment capacity is grounds for immediate termination.
  • Security: You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account. Do not share your login credentials or provide platform access to unauthorized third parties.

2. Acceptable Use & Intellectual Property

  • Ownership: You retain ownership of your content (pitch decks, financials, etc.). By sharing content on Pitch Black, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host and display it solely for the purpose of operating the platform and facilitating matches.
  • Funder Confidentiality: Users accessing materials as "Funders" agree to treat all Founder-uploaded documents as strictly confidential. You may not download, distribute, or share these materials with third parties without the Founder's explicit consent.
  • Prohibited Conduct: Do not use automated systems (bots/scrapers) to harvest user data. Do not post unlawful, misleading, or infringing content.

For clarity, while you grant Pitch Black a license to host and display your content to facilitate investor matching, user-submitted content and pitch decks are strictly confidential and are never utilized to train third-party public large language models.

3. Disclaimer & No Investment Advice

  • "As Is" Basis: Pitch Black is provided on an "as is" basis. We do not guarantee funding outcomes, the accuracy of founder claims, or the legitimacy of funder profiles.
  • No Broker-Dealer Services: Pitch Black is a matching platform operating exclusively within the United States. We do not provide investment, legal, or tax advice, and we are not a broker-dealer or a registered investment advisor under US securities laws. Any investment made as a result of a connection on Pitch Black is done at your own risk and must be conducted through independent legal channels.
  • Due Diligence: It is the sole responsibility of the users to perform their own due diligence before entering into any financial or legal agreements.

4. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, infringe on the intellectual property of others, or pose a reputational risk to the Pitch Black community.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pitch Black shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform. These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of Indiana, without regard to conflict of law principles.
