Terms of service

1. The service

Pre-Mortem Insights is intended to provide a structured, human-reviewed diagnostic that helps identify evidence consistent with known startup failure patterns and prepares intervention-ready recommendations. It is decision support, not a prediction or professional advice.

2. Eligibility and accounts

Users must provide accurate registration information, protect account access, use the service only for authorised organisations and companies, and promptly report suspected compromise. Reviewer, senior reviewer, and administrator roles cannot be self-registered.

3. User responsibilities

• Submit information you are authorised to provide and that is reasonably accurate to your knowledge.
• Do not upload malicious, unlawful, irrelevant, or third-party confidential material without permission.
• Do not attempt to access another user’s data, reverse engineer confidential methodology, bypass controls, or misuse reports.
• Review reports in context and obtain appropriate legal, accounting, tax, financial, or investment advice where needed.

4. Diagnostic limitations

Findings depend on the evidence supplied, its quality, available historical context, and reviewer judgement. Evidence may be incomplete, conflicting, or insufficient. Recommendations do not guarantee success, prevent failure, or establish causation.

5. Reports and permitted use

Reports are confidential to the authorised recipient and may include limitations on distribution. Draft reports are not client deliverables. Only an immutable released version approved by an authorised senior reviewer is an official report.

6. Intellectual property

The service, diagnostic framework, rules, mappings, calculations, internal terminology, report structures, software, and research methodology remain the rights of their respective owner or licensor. Users retain rights in material they submit and grant only the permissions required to provide the agreed service; final licence wording requires counsel.

7. Fees, pilots, and cancellation

Fees are not currently collected through the website. Any pilot or paid engagement will be governed by an approved order, programme agreement, or pricing schedule covering scope, timing, participant limits, payment, cancellation, and refund terms.

8. Availability and changes

The service may change, pause, or undergo maintenance. Material changes to published terms or privacy practices will be versioned and communicated as legally required.

9. Suspension and termination

Access may be restricted for security, unlawful use, material breach, non-payment under a future agreement, or risk to other users. The final terms must define notice, appeal, export, retention, and termination effects.

10. Liability, law, and disputes

Warranty disclaimers, liability limitations, indemnities, governing law, dispute procedures, and consumer rights must be drafted and approved by qualified counsel for the launch entity and jurisdictions. No placeholder in this draft should be relied upon.
