Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using TactMax (“the Platform”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and acknowledge that you have read and understood them. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform. These Terms constitute a binding contract between you and Kairo Ventures, a company registered in a free zone in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (“we,” “us,” “our”). We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email or by a prominent notice on the Platform at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. Description of Service

TactMax is a curated database of insights extracted from publicly available interviews, podcasts, and YouTube videos featuring indie SaaS and software founders. Our goal is to surface actionable business intelligence — revenue milestones, growth tactics, product decisions — drawn from what founders have said publicly, presented with full attribution so readers can verify every claim at its source.

Each insight on the Platform is:

• Sourced from publicly accessible content only — no paywalled material, private communications, or logged-in scraping. Every source was freely available to the public at the time of ingestion.
• Attributed in full — each insight carries the original publisher name, host or interviewer name, publication date, and a direct URL back to the source.
• Presented primarily as our own paraphrase (“claim text”) written in our own words. An optional supporting verbatim quote of 25 words or fewer may accompany the paraphrase; it is never the primary payload.
• Tagged with a revenue confidence label — one of Stripe-verified, reported, estimated, inferred, or unverified — so readers understand the evidentiary basis of any financial figure.

Some features of the Platform are available without a subscription. Full database access, search filters, and export features require a paid plan.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract to use the Platform. By creating an account, you represent that the information you provide is accurate, current, and complete, and that you are not prohibited from using the Platform under any applicable law. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

4. Account Responsibilities

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at hugues@topr.io if you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account. You may not share your account with any other person or transfer it to another party without our prior written consent. We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or attempt to circumvent access controls, with or without prior notice depending on the severity of the violation.

5. Subscriptions & Payments

5.1 Monthly Plan

The monthly subscription is priced at $39 per month, billed on a recurring basis via Stripe. You may cancel at any time; your access to paid features continues until the end of the current billing period, and no prorated refunds are issued for partial months. New monthly subscribers are eligible for a 7-day, no-questions refund on their first charge only. To request this refund, email us at hugues@topr.io within 7 calendar days of your initial charge. Subsequent monthly charges are non-refundable except where required by applicable law.

5.2 Lifetime Access

Lifetime Access is a $99 one-time payment that grants permanent access to the Platform for as long as it operates. Lifetime purchases are non-refundable except where required by applicable consumer protection law in your jurisdiction. “Lifetime” refers to the operational life of the Platform, not the subscriber’s lifetime; in the unlikely event we cease operations, we will provide at least 30 days’ notice.

5.3 Payment Processing

All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc., a PCI DSS-compliant payment processor. We do not store your full payment card details. By completing a purchase, you also agree to Stripe’s applicable terms of service. We reserve the right to adjust pricing at any time with at least 30 days’ notice to active monthly subscribers; price changes do not affect Lifetime Access purchasers.

5.4 Renewal & Cancellation

Monthly subscriptions renew automatically at the start of each billing period. To cancel, use the billing portal in your account settings or email us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period. We will send a reminder email before each renewal. If a payment fails, we will notify you and may suspend access until payment is resolved.

6. Fair Use & Aggregation Defense

TactMax is a curated factual aggregation service. Our primary intellectual output is original paraphrase text — editorial analysis written in our own words that synthesizes and contextualises what founders have said publicly. Where we include a verbatim supporting quote, it is limited to 25 words or fewer per insight and is used solely for the purpose of commentary, criticism, and factual verification. This design is intentional and legally grounded. Under US copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 107), fair use is assessed across four factors: the transformative character of the use (our paraphrase and analytical layer transforms the raw source into structured, searchable business intelligence); the factual nature of the underlying content (founders’ statements about their own businesses are largely factual in character); the minimal quantity extracted (25 words or fewer, a fraction of any interview or podcast episode); and the absence of market substitution (our database does not replace the original interviews, podcasts, or articles — it links readers back to them). Under EU Directive 2019/790 Article 17, the quotation exception explicitly permits use of short extracts from published works for the purposes of criticism, review, or illustration, provided attribution is given. Every insight on the Platform carries complete attribution.

Every insight includes a direct URL to the original source, together with the publisher name, host or interviewer name, and publication date. We do not reproduce, host, rebroadcast, or cache original audio, video, or full article text. We link to official embeds only. This attribution-first approach mirrors the practice of established data aggregation platforms: Crunchbase, for example, permits use of “insubstantial excerpts” with proper attribution for criticism, commentary, and research purposes. Our design goes further by making attribution an explicit, schema-enforced field on every record, not merely an encouraged practice.

We claim no ownership over the original source content. Original speakers, interviewers, and publishers retain all rights to their content. Our intellectual property rights extend exclusively to our own editorial layer: the paraphrase claim text, curation taxonomy, revenue confidence scoring system, entity resolution data, and Platform UI. If you are a founder or creator and you believe your content has been included incorrectly, or if you simply wish to opt out, please see Section 9 below. We honour all opt-out requests within 10 business days.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Our Assets

The Platform’s curation layer — including all paraphrase claim text, editorial annotations, revenue labels, confidence scores, taxonomy classifications, insight IDs, UI design, branding, and software — is owned by Kairo Ventures and protected by applicable intellectual property law. Unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or resale of our curation layer in whole or in part is prohibited.

7.2 Original Speaker and Publisher Rights

Verbatim quotes reproduced on the Platform remain the property of the original speaker and/or publisher. We do not claim any right to the underlying source content. Our license to reproduce brief quotations derives from fair use principles (17 U.S.C. § 107), the EU quotation exception (Directive 2019/790 Art. 17), and equivalent doctrines in other jurisdictions, with full attribution provided on every insight. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights in the original source content.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Scrape, crawl, spider, or use any automated tool, bot, or script to bulk-download, extract, or copy insight data from the Platform
• Resell, sublicense, redistribute, or commercialise Platform data as a standalone dataset or as part of a competing product or service
• Attempt to reconstruct full transcripts, full articles, or full audio/video content from aggregated insights
• Use the Platform or its data to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any machine learning or artificial intelligence model without our prior written consent
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any access-control, rate-limiting, authentication, or security features of the Platform
• Use the Platform in any manner that violates applicable laws, including data protection laws, or that infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party
• Represent Platform-sourced data as independently verified by you without conducting your own verification

Violation of any of the above may result in immediate account suspension or termination at our sole discretion.

We will retire all associated records within 10 business days of verifying the request. Once retired, those records will not be re-ingested unless the founder subsequently consents.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Platform and all content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, or non-infringement. Revenue figures and other financial data points are presented with explicit confidence labels indicating their evidentiary basis; we do not independently verify all reported figures and many are based solely on publicly stated founder claims. Readers should apply appropriate professional and investment judgment before relying on any data from the Platform. We do not warrant that the Platform will be available uninterrupted or error-free, or that defects will be corrected.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Kairo Ventures, its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Platform, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising from or related to these Terms or the Platform shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid to us in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD 100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including statutory consumer rights in your jurisdiction.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Arab Emirates. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Platform shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Dubai, UAE. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction whose laws prohibit exclusive foreign venue clauses or mandatory arbitration, your applicable statutory rights are not affected by this clause, and you may also bring proceedings in your local courts to the extent permitted by law.
