Terms & Conditions

Welcome to DealWavv ("Platform", "we", "us", or "our"). DealWavv is a digital deal-flow platform that connects African startup founders ("Founders") with verified investors ("Investors") through short-form video pitches and structured deal documentation. By creating an account on DealWavv, you ("User") confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms") in their entirety. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform. These Terms apply to all users including Founders, Investors, and any other party accessing the Platform.

To use DealWavv, you must: • Be at least 18 years of age; • Have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts; • Not be prohibited from using the Platform under any applicable law; • For Investors: complete our verification process and be approved by DealWavv prior to accessing full deal documentation. DealWavv reserves the right to refuse, suspend, or terminate access to any user at its sole discretion.

Founders create profiles, submit pitch videos (up to 60 seconds), and upload supporting documentation including pitch decks, financial models, and other materials. Pitches are reviewed by DealWavv before going live. Investors who pass verification gain access to the full pitch feed and may unlock detailed founder documentation including pitch decks, financial models, and legal documents by spending platform points. Investors may communicate with Founders directly through the Platform's in-built messaging system. DealWavv is a deal facilitation platform, not a licensed investment adviser, broker-dealer, or financial institution. Nothing on the Platform constitutes investment advice, and DealWavv does not endorse any startup or investment opportunity.

By uploading any document to DealWavv — including but not limited to pitch decks, financial models, cap tables, and business plans — Founders explicitly acknowledge and consent that: • Verified Investors on the Platform may access and view those documents once unlocked using platform points; • DealWavv may store and display those documents to authorised users as part of normal Platform operation; • Founders are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and legality of documents they upload; • Founders should not upload any documents containing information they are not legally permitted to disclose. DealWavv implements reasonable security measures to protect uploaded content but cannot guarantee absolute security. Founders upload materials at their own risk.

This is one of the most important provisions in these Terms. Please read it carefully. 5.1 Prohibition Period Where a Founder and an Investor are introduced to each other through DealWavv — meaning either party first becomes aware of or makes contact with the other via the Platform — neither party may complete, execute, or close an investment deal, transaction, or funding arrangement outside of DealWavv for a period of six (6) months from the date of that introduction ("Restriction Period"). 5.2 What Counts as an Introduction An introduction occurs when: • An Investor views, unlocks, or interacts with a Founder's pitch on the Platform; or • A Founder and Investor exchange messages through the Platform's messaging system; or • DealWavv facilitates any direct connection between a Founder and an Investor in any form. 5.3 Off-Platform Breach Fee If a deal, investment, funding round, or any transaction involving the transfer of capital is completed outside of DealWavv between a Founder and an Investor who were introduced via the Platform within the Restriction Period, both parties shall be jointly and severally liable to pay DealWavv a breach fee of three percent (3%) of the total deal or investment amount closed, capped at USD $20,000 (twenty thousand US dollars) ("Breach Fee"). The Breach Fee is due within 30 days of DealWavv becoming aware of the completed off-platform transaction. DealWavv reserves the right to pursue recovery of the Breach Fee through legal means. 5.4 Permitted Communications For avoidance of doubt, Founders and Investors may communicate outside the Platform after the Restriction Period has lapsed. However, we strongly encourage all parties to keep communications on the Platform for security and record-keeping purposes. 5.5 Reporting If you become aware that a DealWavv-introduced counterparty is attempting to complete a deal off-platform within the Restriction Period, you may report this to us at legal@dealwavv.com.

6.1 Fee Structure DealWavv charges a success fee of three percent (3%) of the total amount raised on every successful funding round or investment closed between parties introduced through the Platform ("Success Fee"). This fee is payable by the Founder upon close of the funding round. 6.2 When It Applies The Success Fee applies to: • Any investment closed between a Founder and an Investor who were connected via DealWavv; • Both on-platform and off-platform closings where the introduction originated on DealWavv. 6.3 Invoicing DealWavv will issue an invoice to the Founder upon being notified of a successful raise. Founders are required to notify DealWavv within 14 days of closing a funding round where DealWavv facilitated the introduction. 6.4 Failure to Pay Failure to pay the Success Fee is a material breach of these Terms and may result in account suspension, legal action, and recovery of fees plus applicable interest.

DealWavv operates a points economy. Investors may purchase points to unlock pitch documentation and access premium features. Founders earn points through platform engagement and may use points to boost visibility. All points purchases are processed through third-party payment processors including Flutterwave. Points are non-refundable once purchased and have no cash value. DealWavv is not responsible for payment processor errors or failures. Points do not constitute a financial instrument, security, or investment product.

You agree not to: • Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information in your profile or pitch materials; • Impersonate any person or entity; • Use the Platform to conduct any unlawful activity; • Attempt to circumvent our platform fee structures; • Harass, abuse, or threaten other users; • Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract Platform data; • Upload content that infringes third-party intellectual property rights; • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Platform or its systems. DealWavv reserves the right to remove any content and terminate any account in breach of these rules.

The DealWavv platform, brand, design, code, and all original content created by DealWavv are the intellectual property of DealWavv and its licensors. Founders retain ownership of all materials they upload. By uploading materials, Founders grant DealWavv a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to store, display, and transmit those materials to authorised users on the Platform for the purpose of operating the service. Users must not reproduce, copy, or redistribute DealWavv's proprietary content without prior written permission.

DealWavv provides the Platform on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no representations or warranties, express or implied, about the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any content on the Platform. DealWavv is not responsible for: • The accuracy of founder pitch materials, financial projections, or claims; • Investment decisions made by Investors based on Platform content; • Losses arising from investments made through or facilitated by the Platform; • Platform downtime, data loss, or technical failures. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DealWavv's total liability to any user for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms shall not exceed the total amount paid by that user to DealWavv in the three (3) months preceding the claim.

DealWavv may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for any breach of these Terms or for any other reason at our discretion. Upon termination, your right to access the Platform ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including off-platform dealing obligations, fee obligations, and intellectual property rights — will continue to apply. You may terminate your account at any time by contacting support@dealwavv.com. Termination does not extinguish any outstanding fee obligations.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall first be subject to good-faith negotiation between the parties. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be referred to arbitration in Lagos, Nigeria under applicable arbitration rules. Nothing in this clause prevents DealWavv from seeking injunctive or other urgent relief in any competent court.

DealWavv reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. We will notify registered users of material changes via email or a notice on the Platform. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
