These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Ascendibl Ventures website and our advisory services (together, the “Services”). By using our website or engaging us, you agree to these Terms. If you are accepting on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorised to bind that company.
The specific scope, deliverables, fees and duration of any advisory engagement are set out in a separate written engagement letter or order form (the “Engagement Letter”). Where these Terms conflict with a signed Engagement Letter, the Engagement Letter prevails.
Ascendibl Ventures is a fundraising advisory and go-to-market studio. Our Services may include positioning and narrative work, pitch and data-room preparation, go-to-market and traction support, investor research, and facilitating introductions to investors within and beyond our network.
We provide advisory and facilitation services only. We act as an adviser to you and do not act as your agent, broker, or representative unless expressly agreed in writing.
Fees, setup charges, any go-to-market add-ons, and any success fees are set out in your Engagement Letter. Unless stated otherwise, fees are exclusive of applicable taxes (including VAT) and are payable within the period stated on each invoice. Late payments may be subject to statutory interest. Fees already paid are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly agreed.
Each party may receive confidential information from the other. Both parties agree to keep such information confidential, to use it only to perform or receive the Services, and to protect it with reasonable care. This does not apply to information that is public through no breach, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law. We will treat your materials as confidential and share them with investors only as authorised by you.
You retain ownership of the materials and information you provide. Upon full payment, you own the final deliverables we prepare specifically for you under an engagement. We retain ownership of our own methods, templates, frameworks, know-how, and any pre-existing or general materials, and we may continue to use the skills and experience gained.
Where we introduce you to investors, partners, or other third parties, we do not endorse them and are not responsible for their actions, representations, diligence, or any agreement you enter into with them. You are responsible for your own evaluation and decisions, including all terms of any investment.
The website and Services are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and we do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted or error-free.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ascendibl Ventures shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, revenue, or business opportunities. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Services shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to us in the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
These Terms apply while you use the website or an engagement is in effect. Either party may terminate an engagement as set out in the Engagement Letter or, absent such terms, on reasonable written notice. Fees accrued up to termination remain payable. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability — will survive.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Poland, and the courts competent for the registered seat of Ascendibl Ventures sp. z o.o. shall have jurisdiction, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protections that may apply to you.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted here with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
