Terms of service

These terms cover your use of TOntoN. By signing up or using the service you agree to them. We've tried to keep them plain.

Who you are contracting with

TOntoN is operated by TeOnto, the registered commercial name of Pooyan Ramezani Besheli. The enterprise is a Belgian sole trader, not a company, so your counterparty under these terms is that person trading as TeOnto. Enterprise number 1035.444.514, VAT BE 1035.444.514. The full registration details are set out at the foot of this page and appear on every invoice.

What TOntoN is

TOntoN is an analysis platform. It crawls or accepts public-source material about a company, runs a Vision-ontology pipeline over that material, and produces scored evidence-backed reports. The outputs are intended to support — not replace — your own judgement.

Your account

You are responsible for keeping your credentials safe and for what happens under your account. Don't share your password. If you think someone else has access, reset it from the login screen.

Business customers only

TOntoN is offered to businesses, professionals and organisations acting for purposes relating to their trade or profession. It is not offered to consumers, and by subscribing you confirm you are contracting in that capacity.

Acceptable use

Your use of the service is governed by our acceptable use policy at /acceptable-use, which forms part of these terms and covers what you may point the crawler at, what you may upload, and what you may do with the reports. Breaching it is a material breach of these terms.

Subscriptions, tiers and caps

Paid tiers are licensed per workspace, priced in EUR excluding VAT, and carry a stated monthly cap on analyses and a stated number of seats. An analysis is one completed Vision run against one company. Caps are per calendar month and do not roll over; the platform enforces them and we do not bill overage without your agreement. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you give notice before the end of the current period. We will not reduce the entitlements of a paid tier during a period you have paid for.

The free tier

The free tier is provided at our sole discretion. We decide its duration and every entitlement attaching to it — the number of analyses, the number of seats, the features available — and we may vary, suspend or withdraw any of them at any time, for an individual user or generally. Access to it is a permission, not an entitlement: nothing accrues, nothing rolls over, and no refund or compensation is payable on any change or withdrawal. Where we withdraw access other than for breach or abuse, we will keep the export route open for a period we specify of at least 7 days. This section does not apply to paid pilots.

Arrangements outside the published tiers

Anything that is not one of our published tiers — platform-scale deals, API access, data partnerships, reseller or white-label arrangements, bespoke pilots — is governed by its own separately negotiated and signed agreement, whose commercial terms prevail over these. We are free to agree different pricing, entitlements and terms on a customer-by-customer basis, and a term agreed with one customer creates no entitlement or expectation for any other.

Payment, price changes and suspension

Fees are exclusive of VAT and any other applicable tax. Where you are a business established in another EU member state and give us a VAT number that validates at the time of supply, we invoice without VAT and the reverse charge applies. We may change fees or these terms on 60 days' notice, effective at your next renewal; if a change is materially adverse to you, you may terminate at that date without penalty. Where an invoice is more than 14 days overdue we may suspend access after 7 days' written notice and an opportunity to pay. Suspension does not stop fees accruing and does not affect your right to export your data.

Who owns what

The service, the software, the Vision ontology — its structure, weights and rubric anchors — and the report templates remain ours, and nothing here transfers any right in them. Material you submit remains yours. On payment of the fees for the period in which a report was generated, you get a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to use, copy and internally distribute that report for your own business purposes, including sharing it with your investors, portfolio companies and professional advisers under a duty of confidence. You may not resell reports, publish them as a standalone product, use them to build or train a competing service, or strip the source attribution and scoring provenance from them.

Your data

We do not sell your data, and we do not use your account contents or your analysis outputs to train our own models or permit our providers to train on them. You can export your data at any time during your subscription and for 30 days after it ends. Where the material you bring in includes personal data you are responsible for, our data processing agreement at /dpa applies and prevails over these terms on any question of personal data.

Share links

A share link is a signed, expiring, revocable URL that lets someone without an account view one report. Anyone holding an active link can open it, so issuing, circulating and revoking links is your responsibility, as is how the recipient uses what they see.

AI-assisted analysis

TOntoN uses large language models to extract and score evidence from the sources you select. LLM output can be wrong, incomplete, or biased; every Vision report is intended to be reviewed by a human reader. Do not rely on a TOntoN report as the sole basis for investment, employment, or other consequential decisions.

Beta service

TOntoN is in beta. Features may change, break, or be removed. We may rate-limit, suspend, or roll back individual analyses while we stabilise the pipeline. We try to notify active users before disruptive changes; we don't always manage to.

Not advice

Reports are decision support. They are not investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, a credit assessment, an employment recommendation or a due-diligence opinion, and they are not a personal recommendation to you concerning any transaction. TeOnto is not a regulated financial-services provider and does not hold itself out as one. The analysis applies the same ontology and the same scoring method to every subject, for every customer.

Warranties and what we do not promise

We will provide the service with reasonable skill and care and in accordance with these terms. Beyond that, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided "as is": we do not warrant that outputs will be accurate, complete, current or fit for any particular purpose, that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any source we analyse is itself accurate. You accept that the service produces machine-generated assessments from public material and that these require human review.

Liability

Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or for anything that cannot lawfully be limited. Subject to that, neither party is liable for loss of profit, revenue, anticipated savings, business or goodwill, or for indirect or consequential loss; and our total liability in any twelve-month period is limited to the fees you paid in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. The free tier is provided without warranty and with no liability on our side beyond the first sentence of this section.

Termination

You can stop using TOntoN at any time and request account deletion. Either party may terminate on 30 days' notice of a material breach that is not cured in that period, or immediately on the other's insolvency. We may suspend immediately where continued access presents a security risk, is unlawful, or materially breaches the acceptable use policy. On termination your export rights and our deletion commitments continue to apply.

Changes, assignment and notices

We may change these terms on 60 days' notice, effective at your next renewal. Neither party may assign without consent, except that we may assign to a successor of the business or to an entity under common control — including on incorporation of the enterprise. Notices are given in writing by email to the addresses on the account. We will not name you as a customer without your written consent.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Belgium, where the enterprise is registered and established, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes are resolved in the courts of the judicial district of Brussels.
