Terms of Service

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

Welcome to MindLab. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a binding architectural agreement between you ("Institution" or "you") and MindLab ("we," "us," or "our"). We provide an autonomous intelligence layer designed for high-conviction capital firms. By accessing our platform, you agree to operate within these parameters.

1. Acceptance of Mandate

By deploying MindLab, you acknowledge that you are entering into a strategic partnership governed by these Terms. This platform is engineered for institutional use; consumer-grade expectations do not apply. We reserve the right to refine these parameters to maintain the integrity of our sovereign network.

2. The Intelligence Layer

MindLab provides a sovereign, AI-driven platform for industrialized diligence ("The Service"). This includes the Orchestrator and the Proving Ground. The Service is provided as a deterministic tool for decision support, not as a replacement for fiduciary judgment.

3. Institutional Responsibilities

  • Sovereign Credentials: You are responsible for maintaining the security of your institutional access keys. Any activity occurring within your sovereign boundary is your responsibility.
  • Strategic Alignment: You agree to use the Service solely for legitimate investment, diligence, and operational purposes. Use for reverse engineering or competitive intelligence gathering is strictly prohibited.
  • Data Stewardship: You retain full ownership and liability for the proprietary deal flow and documents you ingest into the system.

4. Commercial Parameters

  • Subscription Mandates: Access is granted via AUM-tiered subscriptions (Essentials, Analyst+, Sovereign). Specific terms are detailed in your Order Form.
  • Billing Cycles: Fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. Failure to settle invoices may result in the suspension of your instance.
  • Cancellation: You may terminate your mandate at any time with 30 days' written notice, subject to the terms of your specific agreement.

5. Intellectual Property & Sovereignty

  • Our Architecture: MindLab retains all rights to the platform code and the Orchestrator logic.
  • Your Intelligence: You retain exclusive ownership of all data you upload ("Ingested Data") and all analytical outputs generated by the system ("The Artifacts" or "The Memorandums").
  • Zero-Retention Covenant: We grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use the generated Artifacts for your internal business purposes. We do not claim ownership of, nor do we train our models on, your Ingested Data.

6. Compliance & Security

We adhere to rigorous institutional standards, including SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 frameworks. However, you acknowledge that no system is immutable. You agree to promptly report any suspected security anomalies to our architectural team.

7. Disclaimers of Warranties

  • Asymmetric Risk: The Service is provided "as is." While we strive for forensic accuracy, we do not warrant that every output will be error-free. The system is a force multiplier, not a guarantor of alpha.
  • No Financial Advice: MindLab is a technology provider. We are not an investment advisor, broker-dealer, or law firm. Our outputs should be verified before capital deployment.

8. Termination of Service

We reserve the right to suspend access if we detect activity that threatens the integrity or security of the sovereign network. Upon termination, we provide a 30-day window for the extraction of your proprietary data before it is cryptographically purged.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction specified in your Order Form, prioritizing the legal frameworks of major financial centers (e.g., Delaware, Singapore, London).
