Terms of Service

By accessing or using StartupHub.ai ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use our Service.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

Account Creation: You may need to create an account to access certain features. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration.

Account Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.

Account Termination: We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or engage in any conduct that we deem harmful to the Service or other users.

EACH SUBSCRIPTION SEAT IS LICENSED TO ONE NAMED INDIVIDUAL ("NAMED USER"). The number of seats associated with your account ("Subscribed Seats") is the maximum number of distinct individuals authorized to access StartupHub.ai using your subscription, including via the dashboard, the API, MCP servers, the Excel/Sheets connector, exported data files, or any other access mechanism.

SHARING IS PROHIBITED. You may not share, distribute, sublicense, transfer, or otherwise make available your account credentials, API keys, exported reports, or any other access mechanism to any individual outside the Subscribed Seats. This prohibition applies whether the additional users are employees, partners, contractors, advisors, family members, friends, or any other persons. The most common violation is a single subscription used across an entire venture capital firm, agency, or corporate team — this is a material breach of these Terms regardless of intent.

DETECTION. We continuously monitor account usage to detect unauthorized sharing using methods including but not limited to: concurrent session analysis (more than one active session from a single seat), device fingerprinting (browser, OS, hardware signatures), IP and geographic dispersion patterns (logins from multiple distinct cities or countries within short time windows), API request distribution patterns inconsistent with single-user behavior, audit of named-user logs supplied to us by you, and forensic analysis of exported content (which may contain user-identifying watermarks). You agree that the results of these methods are admissible evidence of breach.

REMEDIES — RETROACTIVE BILLING + LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Upon detection of unauthorized sharing, StartupHub.ai may, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, exercise any or all of the following remedies cumulatively:

(a) Suspend or terminate the account immediately;

(b) **CHARGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD ON FILE** at the published per-seat rate for each unauthorized user, retroactive to the start of the violation as determined by our records, plus liquidated damages of 1.5× that amount. The parties agree that actual damages from credential sharing are inherently difficult to quantify and that 1.5× liquidated damages constitute a reasonable approximation, not a penalty;

(c) Pursue civil litigation for additional damages, injunctive relief, and recovery of attorneys' fees and costs;

(d) Report the violation, including identifying details of the named subscriber and the firm or organization on whose behalf the sharing occurred, to industry compliance and credentialing bodies as appropriate.

PAYMENT MANDATE — EXPRESS AUTHORIZATION. By subscribing to StartupHub.ai, you expressly authorize us to charge your saved payment method (the payment method you provided at subscription, or any subsequent payment method you provide to us) for the amounts described in clause (b) above, on an off-session, merchant-initiated basis, without further authorization required at the time of charge. This authorization is given as part of an ongoing commercial relationship and constitutes a payment mandate under PSD2 / SCA / Stripe Off-Session rules. We will provide you with a written notice (by email to your registered address) at least seven (7) days prior to processing such a charge, identifying the basis for the violation and the amount to be charged, except in cases of egregious or repeat violation where we may charge immediately.

NEED MORE SEATS? If your team has grown or you need to authorize additional named users, contact [email protected]. Bulk pricing is significant — adding seats in good faith is dramatically less expensive than the consequences of unauthorized sharing.

SURVIVAL. This Section 2A survives termination of your subscription with respect to violations occurring during the subscription term.
