Using the Venture Insights platform.

Document version: terms.v2.1-direct-engagement-2026 · Effective date: 2026-05-18

These Terms govern your use of the Venture Insights platform (the "Platform"). By creating an account or submitting a brief you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Notice.

---

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or submitting a brief you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Notice. If you accept on behalf of an organisation you represent that you are authorised to do so.

---

2. Eligibility

The Platform is intended for organisations operating in or targeting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region. Account access is invite-only at the discretion of VI; accounts may be suspended for breach of these Terms or the NDA.

---

3. The methodology is ours

Venture Insights retains all right, title and interest in the VI methodology, scorecards, gap-detection matrix, opportunity vectors, prompt architecture and the Platform itself. The client receives a licence to the consensus outputs delivered under its engagement; the client does not receive a licence to the methodology.

---

4. Your content

You retain ownership of all material you submit. You grant VI a limited licence to process your material for qualification, intake, AI consensus, dispatch and delivery — strictly per the executed NDA. We do not use your content to train AI models, and we do not share it with marketplace partners except as part of a brief you have authorised to dispatch.

---

5. AI outputs

AI consensus outputs are generated by third-party large language models against the VI methodology. They are decision-support, not professional advice. VI reviews and signs off every output before client release; nonetheless, the client remains responsible for the legal, financial and operational decisions it makes with the outputs.

---

6. Marketplace — VI as introducer

When you dispatch a brief to the VI Marketplace, vetted partners ("Vendors") may submit bids per the published methodology. The contract for execution of any awarded workstream is directly between you and the awarded Vendor, governed by a per-match Client–Vendor Engagement Letter co-signed in-platform. VI is not a party to that execution contract.

VI's role under each awarded workstream is limited to: (a) introduction of the Vendor through the vetted Marketplace, (b) custodianship of the underlying VI methodology and playbook from which the workstream is derived, and (c) acceptance sign-off authority on the Vendor's final delivery against the published methodology.

VI Finder's Fee. VI takes a flat 15% of the Vendor's gross fee on each award. This fee is paid by the Vendor to VI under the Vendor's Partner Master Agreement with VI — it is not deducted from any payment you make to the Vendor, and the Client owes nothing further to VI on the Vendor's fee. (Your separate VI engagement fee under your Master SOW remains payable to VI as set out there.)

VAT. The Vendor issues you ZATCA-compliant tax invoices for the Vendor Fee and VAT; VI issues the Vendor a separate tax invoice for the Finder's Fee.

VI's liability in connection with any Marketplace workstream is limited to the VI Finder's Fee actually received by VI for that workstream. VI is not liable for the Vendor's performance, breach, or delivery quality, except in respect of VI's own sign-off review under (c) above.

Non-circumvention. Each per-match Engagement Letter contains a mutual non-circumvention obligation between you and the Vendor for 24 months after acceptance, with VI as the introducer party entitled to enforce.

---

7. Fees & tax

All fees are in Saudi Riyals (SAR). VAT (15%) is added at invoicing per ZATCA regulations. Marketplace partners are responsible for their own VAT registration, invoicing and tax filings. Total consideration, payment schedule and refund terms are set in the per-engagement Statement of Work (SOW).

---

8. Confidentiality

The executed NDA governs disclosure and treatment of brief content, consensus outputs and partner-side material. The NDA survives termination of these Terms.

---

9. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, VI's aggregate liability under these Terms is limited to fees paid by you to VI in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. We exclude liability for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, including lost profits and lost opportunities.

---

10. Termination

Either party may terminate the engagement on written notice. Termination does not affect the parties' rights or obligations accrued before termination, the NDA, or fees payable for work performed up to the termination date. Refund terms are governed by the SOW.

---

11. Anti-bribery & compliance

Both Parties shall comply with the KSA Anti-Bribery Law (Royal Decree No. M/36 dated 29/12/1412H), the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, and all applicable anti-money-laundering and sanctions laws.

---

12. Governing law & dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration (SCCA) in accordance with its rules then in force. The seat shall be Riyadh and the language Arabic. In the event of conflict between the two versions, the Arabic version prevails.
