Effective Date: May 28, 2025
Welcome to DealDaddy! These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of DealDaddy (the “Service”), an AI-powered assistant designed to support deal discovery and workflow optimization by analyzing inbound communications and related content. Please read these Terms carefully, because by using the Service you agree to them. If you do not agree, you must not use DealDaddy.
Throughout these Terms, “DealDaddy,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operators of the Service (DealDaddy, Inc., a U.S.-based company), and “you,” “your,” or “User” refers to you, the individual or entity using our Service. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service, globally. We emphasize compliance with U.S. law and regulations, but strive to meet applicable global standards as well.
Remember that your use of DealDaddy is also subject to our Privacy Policy (which explains how we handle your data). By agreeing to these Terms, you also consent to the Privacy Policy.
Eligibility: You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use DealDaddy. By using our Service, you represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using DealDaddy on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, in which case “you” will refer to that entity.
Account Registration: While many users will connect using their Google account via OAuth, DealDaddy may also offer alternative sign-in methods. Regardless of authentication method, you agree to provide accurate, current information and keep it up-to-date. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately at support@dealdaddy.io if you suspect any unauthorized access to your DealDaddy account.
Google Integration: By linking your Gmail inbox, you grant DealDaddy permission to access your Gmail data as described in our Privacy Policy. DealDaddy requests access that includes permissions beyond read-only, such as the ability to modify labels. However, we currently use this access only to read emails, their attachments, and to manage labels for organizational purposes. These broader permissions are required by Google’s API system to enable basic functionality like label creation and future user-initiated features; we do not use this access to modify message content or send email without your explicit consent. No email content is altered, and no outbound messages are sent unless and until you opt in to future features that support those actions. You can revoke our access at any time via your Google security settings or by contacting support (see Section 7 on Termination). You agree to only connect email accounts that you own or are authorized to use. You must not use the Service to access anyone else’s Gmail data without proper authorization.
Email Access Controls: DealDaddy does not permit human access to your email content, including email from services such as Gmail, except in limited cases where necessary for technical support, investigating abuse, or where required by law. In all such cases, access is limited to authorized personnel, logged, and only granted under strict confidentiality controls.
Service Functionality: DealDaddy will scan and analyze your authorized email content to extract insights, summaries, and recommendations related to investment opportunities. You understand and agree that the Service’s outputs (e.g. identified deals, email highlights, AI-generated summaries) are provided for informational purposes. DealDaddy is not an investment advisor and does not provide financial, legal, or professional advice. You should independently evaluate any investment opportunities identified by the Service. We do not guarantee that our analysis is complete, accurate, or suitable for your needs, and you assume all risk for any decisions you make based on the Service’s information.
Your Content: In using DealDaddy, you will be providing us access to your emails, documents, and other content from your email account(s) (“User Content”). You retain full ownership of all User Content. To support continuous improvement and feature development, DealDaddy may also utilize publicly available or publicly referenced information found within or linked from User Content, such as content in pitch decks, websites, or investor materials, provided such information is not subject to confidentiality obligations and is reasonably understood to be public domain material. We do not claim any ownership rights in your emails or files. These Terms do not grant us any ownership over your content; rather, you grant us a limited license to access and use it solely to operate the Service.
To support continuous improvement of the Service, DealDaddy may analyze anonymized and aggregated metadata derived from User Content. This information helps us enhance product features, performance, and usability without exposing or using the underlying content or personal data. Such analysis never involves human review of private email content, and results are not used for external marketing, resale, or model training unrelated to DealDaddy.
By using the Service, you grant DealDaddy and our subcontractors a worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable license to host, copy, parse, and display your User Content only as needed to provide the Service’s functionality to you. This includes, for example, scanning your emails for keywords, reading attachment text to summarize it for you, labeling emails, and similar processing. We will never use your content for any other purposes. Specifically, we will not use your email data to train machine learning models outside of the DealDaddy Service, and we will not share your content with third parties except as allowed in these Terms or our Privacy Policy.
DealDaddy Enhancements: Our Service may generate certain outputs or enhancements based on your User Content – such as AI-generated summaries, analytic reports, tags, or other results (“Enhancements”). You may use these Enhancements for your own internal purposes (for example, to inform your investment decisions or to share insights with your team). DealDaddy retains ownership of the underlying software, algorithms, and any proprietary methods used to create Enhancements, but we do not claim ownership of the facts or insights derived from your data. For clarity: you own your original email content; DealDaddy owns the tools and software that produce any analysis; and you have a right to use the analysis results for your personal or business purposes. You agree not to redistribute or resell DealDaddy’s analysis or software outputs in a manner that would compete with our Service or violate any applicable laws.
If you provide us with feedback or suggestions on the Service (for example, ideas to improve features or reports of bugs), you acknowledge that we may use and incorporate your feedback without obligation to you. Such feedback, while appreciated, is entirely voluntary and we may use it royalty-free and without restriction.
We expect users to use DealDaddy responsibly and in accordance with the law. By using the Service, you agree to the following acceptable use guidelines and agree NOT to:
Compliance: You agree to comply with all applicable Google policies when using DealDaddy in connection with Gmail. For example, you must not use the Service in a way that causes Google to suspect a violation of their API rules (such as using the Service to download Gmail data in bulk for unauthorized purposes). We reserve the right to monitor usage for compliance (in accordance with our Privacy Policy) and to suspend any account engaging in prohibited behavior.
DealDaddy integrates with or relies on certain third-party services to function properly. It is important to understand that we do not have full control over these external services, and we are not liable for their performance.
No Endorsement or Affiliation: The mention of third-party products or services (such as Google, Stripe, or Zapier) in our Terms or on our site is for informational purposes. This does not mean that DealDaddy is endorsed by, directly partnered with, or an agent of those companies. Google and Gmail are trademarks of Google LLC; Stripe is a trademark of Stripe, Inc.; Zapier is a trademark of Zapier, Inc. DealDaddy is an independent platform. While we use and comply with these external services, they do not guarantee or assume responsibility for our Service. Likewise, we disclaim liability for any issues caused by third-party providers, outages, or data breaches on their side.
Service Uptime: We strive to keep DealDaddy available 24/7, but we do not guarantee 100% uptime or uninterrupted service. There may be occasions when the Service is unavailable due to scheduled maintenance, updates, or technical problems beyond our control (such as cloud infrastructure downtime or network failures). We will attempt to schedule maintenance during low-usage hours and, when possible, notify you in advance of significant downtime. However, in all cases, DealDaddy shall not be liable for any losses or inconveniences caused by Service unavailability or slowdowns. While we strive for high availability, DealDaddy does not provide any service level agreement (SLA), and no specific uptime guarantees are offered. The Service is provided on a best-effort basis.
Right to Modify or Discontinue: We reserve the right to add, remove, or change features of the Service at any time. DealDaddy is constantly evolving – we may introduce new functionalities, improve existing ones, or discontinue parts of the Service. For example, we may decide to change how our AI summarizes attachments or we might integrate a new third-party dataset to enhance our analysis. We also reserve the right to discontinue the Service entirely, though we have no plans to do so and would provide ample notice if that were to happen. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, price change, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service. If you are on a paid plan and a discontinuation materially affects you, we will strive to offer a prorated refund for any unused portion of your subscription. That said, we aim to evolve DealDaddy in ways that improve your experience, not disrupt it. Any major changes will be made with user impact in mind, and we strive to provide continuity or transition support where possible.
Updates and Software: If we deploy client-side software or extensions as part of the Service (for example, a browser extension or mobile app in the future), those software components may update automatically on your device once a new version is available, subject to your device or app store settings. These Terms apply to any such software or extension provided by DealDaddy. You agree not to prevent or hinder these updates as they are often crucial for security and functionality.
Beta Features: From time to time, we may release beta features or pilot programs to gather feedback. These will be identified as beta or pilot. Such features are provided “as-is” and without any warranties and may be even less stable than the rest of the Service. We may discontinue a beta feature or decide not to launch it broadly. Nonetheless, your use of beta features is subject to these same Terms.
By accessing or using Beta Features, you acknowledge and accept that they may contain bugs, errors, or other issues that could result in data loss, performance degradation, or unexpected behavior. You waive any claims related to the performance or availability of Beta Features and understand that DealDaddy is not liable for any damages arising from your use of them. We may collect feedback or telemetry from your usage to improve the Service, and such data will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
By You (User Termination): You are free to stop using DealDaddy at any time. You can disconnect DealDaddy’s access to your Gmail through your Google account settings, and/or delete your DealDaddy account as described in the Privacy Policy. If you wish to terminate your whole account, you may simply stop using the Service and, if desired, contact us to request deletion of your data (as detailed in the Privacy Policy). Termination of your account will result in deactivation or deletion of your access and the deletion of data associated with your account (except for any data we are required to retain for legal compliance or internal business purposes). Keep in mind that revoking Google access or deleting your account will disable core functionalities of the Service.
By Us (DealDaddy Termination): We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service (or certain features of the Service) at our discretion. While we strive to provide notice whenever reasonably possible, if we reasonably believe: (a) you have violated these Terms or any applicable law; (b) you pose a security, compliance, or legal risk to us, to the Service, or to other users (for example, engaging in scraping, fraud, or unauthorized use of data); or (c) you haven’t accessed your account for an extended period (for instance, an inactive account for over a year may be deactivated). We will typically attempt to warn you and resolve the issue (e.g., ask you to stop a certain misuse) before termination, but we are not obligated to do so.
Effect of Termination: Upon termination by either party, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. You should understand that we may immediately deactivate your account and bar any further access to your emails through our platform. We are not liable for any loss of data or opportunities resulting from termination. It is your responsibility to retain any information you wish to keep (for example, any reports or insights you exported) prior to termination. However, termination does not relieve either party of any obligations incurred prior to the termination date. Any provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination (such as indemnification, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law) will remain in effect.
Upon termination, DealDaddy will delete your user data from its active systems within a commercially reasonable time, unless retention is required by law, to resolve disputes, or to enforce our agreements. Backup copies may persist for a limited time but will be securely deleted on a rolling basis.
The following provisions shall survive termination of these Terms: Sections relating to ownership, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and general provisions.
If your account is terminated by us for a violation, you are not entitled to any refunds of fees (if applicable), and you may not create a new account to circumvent the termination without our permission.
DealDaddy is provided as a productivity and informational tool for investors, but there are some important disclaimers we need to make:
Use “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”: DealDaddy is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. While we aim for a high-quality service, we do not warrant that the Service will meet all of your expectations or be error-free. Specifically, we cannot guarantee that our AI will correctly identify every investment opportunity or that it will never misidentify content. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or free from bugs, viruses, or harmful components. You use DealDaddy at your own risk.
No Guarantee of Accuracy or Outcomes: DealDaddy’s AI analysis and results are for informational purposes only. While our AI is designed to identify and surface potentially relevant insights to support your decision-making, we do not guarantee the completeness or accuracy of any output. For example, a summary may omit key context or a classification may misinterpret a message. You should not rely solely on DealDaddy for critical decisions—always use professional judgment and consider additional sources or advisors where appropriate. We expressly disclaim any liability for decisions you make based on the Service’s outputs.
No Professional Advice: No content or output from DealDaddy constitutes legal, financial, investment, or other professional advice. DealDaddy is not a registered broker-dealer, financial advisor, or investment platform. We do not advise on the merits of any investment, nor do we endorse or verify any opportunities found in your emails. Any actions you take in the investment realm are solely your responsibility. If you need professional advice, you should seek it from qualified professionals.
General Warranties Disclaimer: To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DealDaddy disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, regarding the Service. This includes, but is not limited to, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, or non-infringement. We also do not warrant that any errors or defects in the Service will be corrected, although we aim to fix issues promptly when identified.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above disclaimers may not fully apply to you. In such cases, our warranties will be limited to the minimum extent required by applicable law.
Use at Your Own Risk: To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will DealDaddy or its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages whatsoever. This includes, without limitation, damages for lost profits, lost opportunities, lost data, business interruption, or any other intangible losses arising from or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Cap on Liability: To the extent we are found liable for any claim, our total cumulative liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the amount you paid to DealDaddy in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the events giving rise to the claim (or $100 USD if you have not had any payment obligations to us). This limitation applies collectively to all types of claims you may bring (e.g., contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise).
Third-Party Causes: DealDaddy will not be responsible for any damage, loss, or injury resulting from hacking, tampering, or other unauthorized access or use of the Service or your account or the information contained therein. Additionally, we are not liable for issues attributable to third-party services (like Google or Stripe outages, as discussed earlier in Section 4). For example, if a Gmail outage causes you to miss a critical email, or if Zapier malfunctions and doesn’t deliver an alert, those are outside our control and we assume no liability.
Exceptions: Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you fully. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
You acknowledge and agree that the warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability in these Terms are material, bargained-for bases of this agreement, and they have been taken into account in determining the pricing (if any) and willingness to offer you the Service.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DealDaddy and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) that arise out of or relate to: (a) your violation of these Terms or of any law or regulation; (b) your misuse of the Service or your User Content (including any actions that infringe or violate any third-party rights or do harm to a third party); or (c) any dispute between you and a third party (such as an investor or business partner) relating to an opportunity or content surfaced via DealDaddy. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you (in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense of that claim). This indemnity obligation will survive the termination of your relationship with DealDaddy.
Unless expressly authorized in writing by DealDaddy, you may not:
Permitted Uses: You may share outputs created by the Service—such as summaries or highlights—in newsletters, reports, or communications distributed through the DealDaddy platform, or in limited, non-commercial communications with your internal team, investors, or advisors, provided such sharing does not constitute resale, redistribution at scale, or use as a paid product.
Governing Law: These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or the Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict of law principles, except where overridden by applicable mandatory law (such as local consumer protection laws). If you are a consumer residing outside the U.S., you may be entitled to the protection of the mandatory consumer protection provisions of your local jurisdiction.
Dispute Resolution: In the interest of resolving disputes in a cost-effective manner, you and DealDaddy agree that any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service will be resolved through amicable negotiations whenever possible. If we are unable to reach an agreement, we each reserve the right to seek relief through the courts. (At this time, we are not mandating arbitration, but we may mutually agree to arbitration or mediation for a specific dispute.) You agree that any lawsuit or legal proceeding must be brought in the federal or state courts located in Delaware, USA, unless applicable law requires otherwise. You consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waive any objection that it is an inconvenient forum. If you reside outside of the United States, this choice of forum does not deprive you of any statutory protections of your home country that are applicable.
In the interest of resolving disputes in a cost-effective and timely manner, you and DealDaddy agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute or claim related to these Terms or the Service through good faith negotiations.
No Class Actions: To the extent permitted by law, you and DealDaddy agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action. Class arbitrations or actions, collective arbitrations or actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed.
Entire Agreement: These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms or policies we reference herein) constitute the entire agreement between you and DealDaddy regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements or understandings (whether oral or written) between us regarding the subject matter. Any waiver of any provision of the Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by the waiving party.
Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision.
Assignment: You may not assign or transfer these Terms (or any of your rights or obligations hereunder) without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or by operation of law. These Terms shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.
Changes to Terms: DealDaddy may update or modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email (to the address associated with your account) or by prominent notice on our website or within the Service, prior to the change becoming effective. The notice will designate a reasonable period after which the new Terms will take effect. If you disagree with the revised Terms, you may terminate your account before the effective date. Your continued use of the Service after the new Terms become effective constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
Force Majeure: DealDaddy shall not be held liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under these Terms if such failure or delay is caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, supply chain disruptions, power or internet outages, governmental actions, or the failure of third-party service providers. In such cases, DealDaddy’s obligations will be suspended for the duration of the event, and we will make reasonable efforts to resume service as soon as possible.
Contact Information: If you have any questions about these Terms or the Service, please contact us at legal@dealdaddy.io. We value open communication and will do our best to address your inquiries and resolve any issues.
Legal Notices: Legal notices must be sent to DealDaddy, Inc. by email at legal@dealdaddy.io or by mail to our official address listed below. Notices are deemed received 72 hours after mailing or immediately upon email confirmation of receipt.
