Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Ivoro Ventures platform at platform.ivoro.ventures (the “Platform”), operated by Ivoro Ventures (“Ivoro”, “we”, “us”). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms.

1. The service

The Platform helps research teams prepare and submit deep-tech projects for evaluation, and helps the Ivoro team review them and decide whether to proceed toward a possible spin-off. Features include an evaluation form, document upload, an AI-assisted assessment and research assistant, messaging, and meeting scheduling.

2. Eligibility and accounts

Access is by invitation and is intended for users aged 18 or over. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials and one-time links confidential and for activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• access projects, accounts, or data you are not authorized to access;
• upload unlawful content or content that infringes others’ rights;
• attempt to disrupt, reverse-engineer, or circumvent the security of the Platform; or
• use the Platform to violate any applicable law.

4. Your content

You retain ownership of the information and documents you submit (“Your Content”). You grant Ivoro a limited license to host, process, and display Your Content as needed to provide the Platform and to carry out the project evaluation, including processing by the service providers described in our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for having the rights necessary to submit Your Content.

5. Confidentiality

Project submissions are treated as confidential and are shared only with the Ivoro team and the providers needed to operate the service. The Ivoro team’s assessments and internal documents are likewise confidential to Ivoro.

6. Intellectual property

The Platform itself, including its software, design, and content (other than Your Content), is owned by Ivoro and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights in the Platform other than the right to use it as permitted here.

7. Third-party services

The Platform integrates third-party services (for example Google Calendar, used by Ivoro team members who connect their account). Your use of those services is also subject to their own terms.

8. Disclaimers

The Platform is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. An AI-generated assessment is a decision-support aid, not a guarantee of any outcome; the decision to advance a project rests with the Ivoro team. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted or error-free.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ivoro will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Platform.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access if these Terms are breached or to protect the Platform or its users. You may stop using the Platform at any time and request deletion of your data as described in the Privacy Policy.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Spain, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts of Spain will have jurisdiction, unless mandatory local law provides otherwise.

12. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above; continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
