Terms of Service

Effective July 9, 2026 · Last updated July 9, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and the company operating ScoutWire ("ScoutWire", "we", "us", or "our") governing your access to and use of the ScoutWire platform, websites, and related services (the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" refers to that organization.

Beta notice. The Service is offered on an early-access / beta basis. It may change, be interrupted, or contain errors, and features may be added or removed at any time.

1. The Service

ScoutWire sources company and fund information from public and third-party sources, scores and researches leads, and helps you draft and track outreach. The Service is a tool that assists your sales process. It does not guarantee any outcome, meeting, response, or sale.

2. Eligibility & Accounts

You must be a business user and at least 18 years old. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

3. Subscriptions, Fees & Billing

4. Acceptable Use & Your Responsibilities for Outreach

You are solely responsible for all messages you send, and all contacts you target, using the Service. You agree that you will:

ScoutWire is a tool; it does not send communications on its own initiative. You determine who to contact and what to send. You act as the controller of any personal data you process through the Service and are responsible for related notices and consents.

5. Your Content

You retain ownership of the configuration, documents, and materials you submit ("Your Content"). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, process, and use Your Content solely to provide and improve the Service for you. You represent that you have the rights to submit Your Content and that it does not violate law or third-party rights.

6. Data Sourcing & Accuracy — "As Is"

Lead, company, fund, contact, and signal data is compiled from public records and third-party sources (including SEC EDGAR filings, public job boards, government portals, news, and enrichment vendors). Such data is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or fitness. Data may be outdated, incomplete, mis-attributed, or incorrect. You are responsible for independently verifying any information before relying on or acting upon it.

6a. Business Contact Information

The Service may surface business contact information — such as names, job titles, business email addresses, and professional profiles — sourced from public sources and third-party enrichment providers. To operate efficiently, ScoutWire may cache and reuse this business-contact data across the Service so that a company is enriched once and made available to relevant accounts. You agree that:

Contact data is provided "as is," may be inaccurate or out of date, and its availability may change or be withdrawn at any time. We may suppress, remove, or refuse to provide contact data at our discretion, including to honor a data subject's request or a provider's requirements.

7. AI-Generated Output

The Service uses artificial intelligence to generate research summaries, scores, and draft messages. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or fabricated ("hallucinated"). Scores and research are automated estimates, not statements of fact. You must review, edit, and verify all AI-generated content before sending or relying on it. You are solely responsible for anything you send.

8. No Professional Advice

The Service does not provide legal, financial, investment, tax, compliance, or other professional advice, and nothing in the Service constitutes such advice or an offer, solicitation, or recommendation regarding any security or investment. Consult qualified professionals for such matters.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates third-party providers (for example, authentication, hosting, database, AI, email, and payment providers) and may link to third-party sites. We are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of them is governed by their terms.

10. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, models, playbooks, scoring logic, and branding, is owned by ScoutWire and its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited right to use the Service under these Terms, no rights are granted to you.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service and all data and output are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, or that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. Your use of the Service is at your own risk.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ScoutWire and its affiliates, officers, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or relating to the Service, even if advised of the possibility. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to us for the Service in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

13. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ScoutWire and its affiliates from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) messages you send or contacts you target; (c) Your Content; (d) your violation of these Terms or applicable law (including anti-spam and data-protection laws); or (e) your violation of any third-party right.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, for any violation of these Terms, to protect the Service or others, or if we discontinue the Service. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases. Sections that by their nature should survive (including 5–13, 15) survive termination.

15. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in Texas will have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to their venue, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with an updated effective date and, where appropriate, notified to you. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

17. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
