Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Agreement") govern the provision of the Semaverse platform by Semaverse Ltd, a company incorporated in England and Wales ("Semaverse", "we", "us", or "our"), to any business entity that executes an order form, subscription agreement, or similar ordering document referencing this Agreement by URL (each, an "Order Form", and the business entity, "Customer" or "you"). This Agreement is incorporated by reference into, and forms part of, each Order Form. This Agreement is effective, with respect to a given Customer, as of the effective date specified in the applicable Order Form (the "Effective Date"). Where the parties also execute a Data Processing Agreement ("DPA"), the DPA is incorporated into and forms part of this Agreement.

The specific features and capabilities available to you depend on your subscription plan.

  • Maintaining the security and confidentiality of your account credentials

  • All activity that occurs under your account

  • Promptly notifying us at support@semaverse.ai of any unauthorised access or security breach

3.1 Subscription Plans

The Service is available on monthly, annual, and usage-based (metered) subscription plans. The features, usage limits, and applicable pricing for your plan are set out in your order confirmation or communicated to you at the time of sign-up, and may be updated from time to time with notice to you.


3.2 Payment

All fees are charged in advance for the applicable billing period, except for usage-based charges which are billed in arrears. Payments are processed via our third-party payment processor. By providing payment details, you authorise us to charge you the applicable fees.


3.3 Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. Annual subscriptions will renew for a further twelve-month term unless cancelled at least 30 days before the renewal date.


3.4 Usage-Based Charges

If your plan includes metered or usage-based components, charges will be calculated based on your actual usage during the billing period as recorded by Semaverse's internal systems. We will provide visibility into your usage via the platform dashboard. In the event of any discrepancy between your own usage records and Semaverse's records, Semaverse's internal logs shall be the definitive source of truth for billing purposes, absent manifest error.


3.5 Price Changes

We may change our pricing with at least 30 days' prior written notice. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of a price change constitutes your acceptance of the new pricing.


3.6 Taxes

All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. You are responsible for paying all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities in connection with your use of the Service.

  1. Cancellation and Refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time via your account settings or by contacting support@semaverse.ai. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods, except:

  • Where required by applicable law

  • Where we have materially failed to provide the Service as described

On cancellation, your access to the Service will continue until the end of the paid period.ur access to the Service will continue until the end of the paid period.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful business purposes and in accordance with this Agreement. You must not:

  • Use the Service to engage in any activity that is illegal or violates applicable law, including securities laws and M&A regulations

  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service or its underlying infrastructure

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the Service

  • Use automated means to scrape, harvest, or extract data from the Service beyond what is permitted by your plan

  • Upload or transmit malicious code, viruses, or any material that could harm the Service or other users

  • Resell, sublicense, or make the Service available to third parties without our prior written consent

  • Use AI-generated outputs from the Service as the sole basis for making material financial or legal decisions without independent professional verification

  • Use bots, automated scripts, or systematic queries to run continuous, heavy research cycles that place an atypical load on our infrastructure

  • Share a single seat to avoid purchasing the appropriate number of user subscriptions for your team

To ensure service quality and platform stability for all users, if we detect activity that appears automated or creates extraordinary system demands, we reserve the right to temporarily limit your processing volume or pause account access while we reach out to help you transition to a subscription tier that fits your needs.

  1. AI-Generated Content, Limitations, and Regulatory Notice

The Service uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to generate analysis, summaries, and recommendations relating to M&A activity. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • AI-generated outputs are provided as a decision-support tool to assist qualified professional judgment — they are not a replacement for it. The Service is intended to augment, not substitute, the expertise of legal, financial, and compliance professionals.

  • AI models are probabilistic in nature and may produce outputs that are factually incorrect, incomplete, or misleading, including so-called "hallucinations" — content that appears plausible but is not grounded in fact. You are solely responsible for independently verifying all outputs before relying on them.

  • A qualified human professional must review all AI-generated outputs before they are used to inform, support, or influence any material business, financial, or legal decision.

  • Outputs do not constitute legal, financial, tax, investment, or regulated advice of any kind. Semaverse is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, or regulated financial advisor under any applicable law.

  • The Service is not intended for use in high-risk AI application categories as defined under applicable AI regulation, including the EU AI Act, where such regulation applies to you.

  • Semaverse makes no representation that outputs are complete, accurate, or suitable for any particular transaction, jurisdiction, or regulatory context.

  1. Your Data

7.1 Ownership

You retain all ownership rights in the data, documents, and other content you upload to or generate using the Service ("Customer Data"). By uploading Customer Data, you grant Semaverse a limited, non-exclusive licence to process it solely to provide the Service to you.


7.2 Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect Customer Data from unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.


7.3 AI Processing and Data Isolation

We process Customer Data using AI and machine learning technologies, including third-party AI service providers, solely to provide the Service to you. Your documents and generated templates are private to your account and are never used to serve, inform, or influence the experience of any other customer. We do not use Customer Data to train or fine-tune foundation AI models, or to improve the Service for other customers. We may use Customer Data to improve your own individual experience within the Service, such as personalising templates or outputs for your account.


7.4 Data Deletion

Upon termination or expiry of your subscription, we will delete or make inaccessible your Customer Data within 60 days, unless we are required by law to retain it for longer.

  1. Data Protection

To the extent Semaverse processes personal data (as defined under applicable data protection law, including UK GDPR and EU GDPR) on behalf of the Customer in connection with providing the Service, such processing is governed by Semaverse's Data Processing Agreement ("DPA"), available at https://www.semaverse.ai/dpa, which is incorporated into and forms part of this Agreement by reference.

By executing an Order Form that references this Agreement, the Customer agrees to the terms of the DPA. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the DPA with respect to the processing of personal data, the DPA shall prevail.

  1. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information disclosed by the other party in connection with this Agreement that is marked as confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential ("Confidential Information"). This obligation does not apply to information that is or becomes publicly known through no fault of the receiving party, or that the receiving party was already aware of independently.

  1. Intellectual Property

Semaverse retains all intellectual property rights in and to the Service, including all software, models, algorithms, interfaces, documentation, and related materials. Nothing in this Agreement transfers any ownership rights in the Service to you.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use the Service during your subscription term, solely for your internal business purposes in connection with M&A activity

  1. Availability and Support

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Service available. However, we do not guarantee any specific uptime or availability level. The Service may be unavailable from time to time due to:

  • Events beyond our reasonable control
