Terms of Service
The authoritative text of this document is the Spanish version. This one is a reference translation. Read the Spanish version
Purpose
These Terms govern access to and use of the Xylence platform ("the Platform") by venture capital firms ("Client", "Firm", "you") to manage their firm's portal, capture their investment thesis and portfolio, review founder applications, and use AI-assisted tools to analyze submitted information (documents, decks, video and voice).
Definitions
"Firm" or "VC": the corporate entity that manages one or more investment funds and registers on the Platform. "User": any person authorized by the Firm to access the Platform on its behalf. "Client Data": all information the Firm or its Users capture, upload, or generate within their portal (thesis, portfolio, founder communications, internal notes).
Registration and verification
Access to the Platform requires completing the onboarding process, including verifying control over the Firm's corporate domain (by email or DNS record). Xylence may suspend accounts whose identity cannot be verified or that are detected as fraudulent.
Use of the Platform
The Client agrees to use the Platform only for lawful purposes related to its investment activity, not to share its access credentials, and to keep its Firm's contact information up to date.
Client Data ownership
Client Data remains the property of the Client. Xylence does not sell or share this data with competing firms; aggregated, anonymized data may be used to improve the Platform.
AI and third-party providers
The Platform uses AI models (proprietary and third-party) to analyze documents, transcribe and assess voice/video interviews, and enrich public information about founders and companies. These tools assist but do not replace the Client's investment judgment.
Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public information exchanged in connection with their use of the Platform, unless disclosure is required by law.
No scraping or resale of data
The Client and its Users agree NOT to use automated tools (scraping, bots, unauthorized bulk API extraction, or any means that circumvents the Platform's normal usage limits) to extract data about founders, startups, or other Firms available on the Platform. The Client may not resell, redistribute, sublicense, or otherwise make available to third parties — for a fee or free of charge — the data, analyses, or enrichments the Platform shows it, except within its own Firm and for the investment-evaluation purposes contemplated in these Terms. Xylence may immediately suspend any account where it detects an access pattern consistent with scraping or unauthorized extraction.
Liability
The Platform is provided "as is." Xylence does not guarantee the accuracy of AI-generated analyses, enrichments, or assessments, which are support tools only. Xylence is not liable for investment decisions made based on that information. Except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct, Xylence's total liability to the Client under these Terms will not exceed the amount paid by the Client to Xylence in the 12 months preceding the claim.
Term and termination
These Terms remain in effect while the Client maintains an active account. Either party may terminate the relationship with 30 days' written notice, or as set out in the applicable service agreement. After termination, Xylence retains Client Data for an additional 30 days so the Client can export it, after which it is deleted, unless a legal obligation requires longer retention.
Amendments
Xylence may amend these Terms, notifying the Client with reasonable advance notice. Continued use of the Platform after notification constitutes acceptance of the changes.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, where Xylence Analytics LLC is organized, without prejudice to the provisions of Mexico's LFPDPPP applicable to users in Mexico regarding personal data protection.

Any notice under these Terms may be sent to hello@xylence.ai or in writing to Xylence Analytics LLC, 3006 N Fry Rd Ste 200, Katy, TX 77449-6436, USA.
