If you do not agree to these Terms, please stop using The dealroom immediately.

1.2 Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms occasionally. We’ll inform you of significant changes either by email or via a notification on The dealroom. If you continue using Caprete after these updates, it means you accept the new Terms.

If you are using Caprete as an investor, you may be required to verify that you are an Accredited Investor, which ensures you have the financial qualifications needed for certain types of business deals.

We want Caprete to be a professional, trustworthy space. By using our Platform, you agree to:

  • Provide truthful and accurate information in your profile and during interactions.
  • Avoid misleading or deceptive behavior.
  • Refrain from illegal activities, spamming, or inappropriate actions.
  • Respect intellectual property rights and not share content you don’t own or have permission to use.

  • Misrepresent your identity, qualifications, or involvement in any business dealings.

If you break these rules, we may suspend or terminate your account.

4. Fees and Payments

While Caprete offers free and paid memberships, certain services or transactions may incur a Success Fee when a deal closes. If this applies to your activity, we’ll make it clear.

4.2 Payment Terms

Any fees or payments owed to Caprete must be paid promptly, as outlined when applicable. Failure to pay may result in limited access to services or features on The dealroom.

5. Ownership and Content

5.1 Caprete’s Intellectual Property

Everything you see on Caprete, including text, graphics, logos, and software, is either owned by us or licensed to us. You are permitted to use The dealroom for its intended purpose, but you cannot copy, modify, distribute, or sell any content from The dealroom without our explicit permission.

5.2 User-Generated Content

Any content you upload or post on Caprete remains your property. However, by sharing content on The dealroom, you give Caprete a license to use, distribute, and display your content to operate and promote The dealroom.

6. Resolving Disputes

6.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Sweden, without reference to its conflict of law principles. By using Caprete, you agree that any disputes or claims arising from these Terms or your use of The dealroom will be governed by Swedish law.

6.2 Arbitration

If a dispute arises between us that cannot be resolved through mutual discussion, we agree to resolve it through binding arbitration instead of going to court.

  • Arbitration Location: Arbitration will take place in Stockholm, Sweden, and will be conducted in English.
  • Rules: The arbitration will follow the rules set by the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) or another recognized arbitration body.
  • Binding Outcome: The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding for both parties, and the ruling can be enforced by any court with jurisdiction.

By agreeing to these Terms, both you and Caprete commit to resolving disputes fairly and efficiently through arbitration, waiving the right to a jury trial or class-action lawsuits.

You can close your Caprete account at any time by contacting us. If you choose to leave, you will remain responsible for any fees or payments due prior to closing your account.

7.2 Caprete’s Right to Terminate

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or for other reasons. If we suspend or terminate your account, we’ll try to notify you, but in some cases, we may need to act immediately to protect The dealroom or other users.

If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
