In effect since August 8, 2026 -- version 2026-08-08.1
Terms of Use (DRAFT)
This is a structural draft, not yet reviewed by a licensed attorney. Nothing below should be treated as final legal text. It is scaffolding, not a legal opinion. This document is a SEPARATE instrument from the pt-BR Terms - it is not a translation, and it addresses a different legal context (a founder using this platform from a US-facing posture).
1. What this platform is
One Trinity Ventures is an educational venture-structuring tool: a cap table simulator, a readiness assessment (Venture Score), and validation evidence tracking. It does not provide legal, accounting, tax, or investment advisory services, and it is not a registered broker-dealer or investment adviser.
2. The cap table is a SIMULATION, never a legal record
This is not the legal record of ownership in your company. Every cap table scenario built here is a planning simulation. The legal record of equity ownership is defined by your company governing documents (certificate of incorporation, stock ledger, stockholder agreement) and, where applicable, the relevant state/federal authorities - never by this software.
3. Not advice
We never present an educational calculation as legal, tax, or securities advice. We never imply that an AI-generated score (Venture Score) predicts startup success. Decisions on venture acceptance, equity terms, and investment decisions require human review; this platform does not replace that review.
4. No securities offering, no broker-dealer activity
Nothing on this platform is, or should be construed as, an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. This platform does not facilitate introductions between founders and investors and does not receive transaction-based compensation tied to capital raised. [DRAFT: this clause is a placeholder pending lawyer review of Exchange Act SS3(a)(4) and SS15(a)(1) exposure - see ADR SS6, items L1/L2.]
5. Accounts and user responsibility
You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for the accuracy of the data you enter (holder names, amounts, instrument terms). The platform does not verify what you type.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to present a simulated scenario as an official corporate record to a third party (investor, bank, regulator), and not to misuse the share-link feature (/s/[token]) to expose a third party data without consent.
7. Termination and suspension
We may suspend or terminate an account for use that violates these terms. [DRAFT: notice process, cure period, and effect on already-recorded data to be defined with lawyer.]
8. Disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability
[DRAFT: to be defined with lawyer - governing state law TBD.]
9. Governing law and venue
[DRAFT: to be defined with lawyer - state of incorporation/operation TBD.]
10. Changes to these terms
A change to the substance of these terms is a new VERSION, never a silent edit of the previous one - the same versioning discipline used for the assessment rubric (see ADR, Onda 0). A recorded consent stores the version accepted.
