Terms of service
Effective 2026-09-10
These terms are the agreement between you and MasValor for the use of Dealflou. They are meant to be read: the sections that most affect you — what we do not promise, what we are liable for, and how disputes are resolved — are in plain language rather than buried.
1.Who you are contracting with, and acceptance
The Dealflou platform (the “Platform”) is operated by MasValor S.A.S. (“MasValor”, “we”), tax ID NIT 900681742-2, registered at Cra 11A # 99-25, Bogotá D.C., Colombia. By ticking the acceptance box, or by accessing or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”).
If you accept on behalf of a firm, you represent that you are authorised to bind it, and “you” means both you and that firm. If you do not have that authority, do not accept. The Platform is for business use by institutional participants; it is not offered to anyone under 18.
The Privacy Policy and, where your firm processes personal data through the Platform, the Data Processing Agreement form part of these Terms. Where a signed master agreement exists between your firm and us, that agreement prevails over these Terms to the extent of any conflict.
2.What Dealflou is — and is not
Dealflou is software: a venue where advisers publish mandates, counterparties execute NDAs, documents are hosted and analysed, and offers are submitted and recorded. We provide the infrastructure and the evidentiary record. We are not a party to any transaction conducted through it.
We are not a financial intermediary. MasValor is not a broker-dealer, comisionista de bolsa, investment adviser, placement agent or intermediary of securities in any jurisdiction, and does not carry on activities reserved to regulated entities. We do not introduce parties for a success fee, negotiate transaction terms, hold client funds or securities, or take custody of any asset.
Nothing here is an offer or advice. Mandates listed on the Platform are confidential information made available under NDA for evaluation. They are not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor a public offering under Colombian Law 964 of 2005 or any comparable regime. Nothing on the Platform — including valuation output, diligence findings and comparables — is investment, legal, tax or accounting advice, or a recommendation to enter any transaction.
We do not verify what users publish. Advisers are responsible for the accuracy, completeness and lawfulness of what they list and upload, and for holding the mandate they claim to hold. Investors must conduct their own due diligence and take their own professional advice. Each party is responsible for its own compliance with securities, competition, sanctions, anti-money-laundering and data-protection law.
3.Eligibility, accounts and security
Access is gated by a know-your-business intake. We approve firms based on regulatory standing, sanctions and AML screening, and the stated use case. Approval is discretionary; where we decline, we give the reason in the access-request decision unless we are legally prohibited from doing so. You must give accurate onboarding information and keep it current.
You are responsible for your credentials and for everything done under your account. Enable multi-factor authentication, do not share logins, and tell us at security@dealflou.com as soon as you suspect unauthorised access. Your firm’s admin controls membership and permissions and can remove your access.
We may not offer the Platform where doing so would breach sanctions or export-control law. You represent that you and your firm are not subject to such measures and will not make the Platform available to anyone who is.
4.Your content, and the licence you give us
Everything you upload — documents, financial information, notes, messages, signatures (“Your Content”) — remains yours or your client’s. We claim no ownership in it.
You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, transmit, display and process Your Content strictly to operate and secure the Platform, to provide the features you turn on, and to comply with law. That licence exists for no other purpose and ends when the content is deleted, except for copies retained in backups for their ordinary cycle or where the law requires retention.
We do not train models on Your Content, and our AI sub-processors are contractually prohibited from doing so. We may use aggregated, de-identified statistics that cannot reasonably identify you, your firm, your client or a transaction — for example, median processing time across the Platform — to operate and improve the service.
You warrant that you have the rights needed to upload Your Content and to grant this licence, and that doing so breaches no confidentiality obligation, intellectual property right or law.
5.Confidentiality and the data room
Documents in a workspace data room are confidential. Access is governed by the NDAs executed on the Platform and by the permissions the publishing firm sets; downloads are denied by default and must be granted explicitly; and every view is watermarked with the viewer’s identity and logged.
MasValor staff do not read customer content. Support staff obtain read access only when a firm admin explicitly grants it for a specific escalation, and every such access is recorded in the audit chain and visible to the firm. We will not disclose customer content to a third party except as set out in the Privacy Policy.
6.NDAs, offers and the audit chain
The Platform supports native, cryptographically sealed NDAs, indications of interest and formal offers. On each signature we record the signature image, the identity of the signer, the IP address, the timestamp and the user agent, and we hash the sealed PDF so that any later alteration is detectable. The Platform-generated record is intended to serve as evidence of execution, and Colombian Law 527 of 1999 gives electronic signatures and data messages probative value. Whether a given record is admissible and what weight it carries is for the relevant court or tribunal — we provide the record, not a guarantee of its outcome.
An NDA executed on the Platform is an agreement between the advising firm — acting on its client’s authority — and the counterparty. MasValor is not a party to it, does not draft it for you, and takes no position on its enforceability. Default templates are a starting point, not legal advice; have your counsel review any template before you rely on it.
7.AI features
AI diligence analyses documents a firm has explicitly marked as available for AI processing, and produces findings, scores and summaries with citations. Output is generated by a language model and can be incomplete or wrong — including confident-sounding statements that the cited source does not support.
Output is decision support, not a decision, and not professional advice. You must verify every finding against its citation before relying on it. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness or fitness of AI output, and you remain responsible for the due diligence you owe your own clients and counterparties.
8.Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Break the law — use the Platform to violate applicable law, including securities, competition, sanctions, anti-money-laundering and data-protection law.
- Misrepresent — list a mandate you do not hold, publish information you know to be false or misleading, or impersonate any person or firm.
- Circumvent controls — defeat access controls, watermarking, download restrictions or the audit chain, or access a workspace, deal or document you were not granted.
- Probe or attack — scan, penetration-test or stress the Platform outside the coordinated disclosure programme at security@dealflou.com, or introduce malicious code.
- Scrape or resell — extract data by automated means, or resell, sublicense or make the Platform available to a third party that is not an authorised user.
- Misuse confidential information — use information obtained under an NDA for any purpose other than evaluating the transaction, or breach the NDA you signed.
- Reverse engineer — decompile or disassemble the Platform, except to the extent that restriction is unenforceable under applicable law.
Report suspected misuse to legal@dealflou.com.
9.Plan, billing, taxes and refunds
Institutional plans are quoted on annual deal volume, team size and workspace count. Self-serve plans are published in-product at the rate shown on the billing screen before payment, are billed in advance for each period, and renew automatically until cancelled. The amount shown to you before payment is the amount charged.
Taxes. Applicable taxes, including Colombian IVA, are assessed at checkout from your billing address and shown before you pay; you may enter a tax ID for the invoice. Prices are exclusive of tax unless the checkout states otherwise.
Cancellation. You may cancel a self-serve subscription at any time from the billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid for and no further charge is made. Annual plans run out their term without proration.
Right of withdrawal (derecho de retracto). Where you qualify as a consumer under Colombian Law 1480 of 2011, article 47 gives you five (5) business days from the date of the contract to withdraw from a distance purchase, and we refund the full amount paid within thirty (30) calendar days of your notice. Purchases made by a firm for its own commercial activity fall outside that statute; the cancellation terms above apply instead. To exercise the right, write to billing@dealflou.com from the account email within the window — no justification is required.
Other refunds. Outside the withdrawal right above and any other refund mandated by law, amounts already charged for a period that has begun are non-refundable; cancelling stops future renewals rather than refunding the current period. We may still grant a discretionary refund — for example where a platform failure prevented use of a paid period. Billing questions and refund requests go to billing@dealflou.com; we respond within five (5) business days.
Price changes. We give at least thirty (30) days’ notice before a price change takes effect for your plan. If you do not accept it, cancel before the change applies.
Failed payments. If a renewal charge fails we retry and notify the billing contact. Access may be suspended if the balance is not settled; your data is retained per the Retention section of the Privacy Policy and is not deleted on suspension alone.
10.Our intellectual property
The Platform, its software, design system, documentation and trade marks are ours or our licensors’. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Platform for your firm’s internal business purposes for as long as your subscription lasts. No other rights are granted, expressly or by implication.
If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without restriction or obligation to you. We will not identify you as their source without your permission.
11.Availability and support
We aim to keep the Platform available continuously and will give advance notice of planned maintenance where practicable. Unless your firm has a signed service-level agreement, the Platform is provided without an uptime commitment. Support response targets are those stated for your plan.
12.Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”, and we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted or error-free, that AI output or valuation ranges will be accurate, or that information published by other users is true.
Nothing in this section excludes a warranty or guarantee that cannot lawfully be excluded — including the legal guarantee (garantía legal) owed to consumers under Colombian Law 1480 of 2011.
13.Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost business opportunity, or the failure or terms of any transaction, even if advised such damages were possible.
Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Platform in any 12-month period is limited to the fees you paid us for the Platform in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or USD 1,000 if you paid nothing.
These limits do not apply to: our wilful misconduct or gross negligence (dolo o culpa grave), which Colombian law does not permit to be excluded; death or personal injury caused by negligence; either party’s breach of its confidentiality obligations; your payment obligations; or any liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including a consumer’s statutory rights.
14.Indemnity
You will indemnify us against third-party claims, and the reasonable costs of defending them, arising from Your Content, from your breach of these Terms or of an NDA executed on the Platform, or from your violation of law or of a third party’s rights. We will notify you promptly of any such claim, let you control the defence of it, and cooperate reasonably at your expense. This indemnity does not apply to the extent the claim arises from our own breach or negligence.
15.Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Platform and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially breach these Terms and, where the breach can be cured, do not cure it within fifteen (15) days of notice; if we are legally required to; or immediately, without notice, where continued access poses a security risk or would place us in breach of sanctions or AML obligations. We give notice wherever it is practicable and lawful to do so.
On termination your licence ends and access stops. For thirty (30) days afterwards you may request an export of Your Content, which we will provide in a structured, commonly used format. After that period we delete or anonymise it on the schedule in the Privacy Policy, except where law requires retention. Sections 2, 4, 5, 10, 12–14 and 17–18 survive termination.
16.Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. For changes that materially affect your rights or obligations we give at least thirty (30) days’ notice by email or in the Platform, and we update the effective date above. If you do not accept a change, stop using the Platform and cancel before it takes effect; continued use after that date means you accept it. We will not apply a material change retroactively to a dispute that arose before it.
17.Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Colombia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute by direct negotiation for thirty (30) days after written notice. Failing that, disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Bogotá D.C., Colombia.
Consumers. If you contract as a consumer, nothing here deprives you of the protection of the mandatory law of your country of residence, or of your right to bring proceedings before the courts or the consumer authority there — in Colombia, the Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio.
18.General
- Entire agreement — these Terms, the Privacy Policy and the DPA are the whole agreement on their subject matter and replace any earlier understanding, except a signed master agreement.
- Severability — if a provision is unenforceable, it is limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stays in force.
- No waiver — not enforcing a right on one occasion does not waive it.
- Assignment — you may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger or sale of substantially all our assets, on notice to you.
- No partnership — nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship.
- Force majeure — neither party is liable for a failure caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, provided it takes reasonable steps to mitigate.
- Notices — we give notice to the email on your account; you give notice to legal@dealflou.com. Notice is effective on the business day after it is sent.
- Language — these Terms are published in English. If we issue a translation and the versions conflict, the Spanish version prevails for users domiciled in Colombia.
