2. Professional use only
The Platform is intended for professional, business and investment-related use by selected participants. It is not a public marketplace, consumer service, mass teaser distribution tool or general company database.
You must not use the Platform if you are not acting in a professional or business capacity, if you are not authorised by your firm, or if your use would breach any law, contract, confidentiality obligation or professional duty.
3. Account access and approval
Access to the Platform may require registration, verification and approval. We may accept, reject, suspend or terminate accounts at our discretion, including where we believe that a user is unsuitable, unverified, inactive, inaccurate, in breach of these Terms, or may create confidentiality or compliance risk.
You must provide accurate, complete and current information during registration and throughout your use of the Platform. You are responsible for keeping login credentials confidential and for all activity under your account.
4. Buyer acquisition criteria
Buyers may submit acquisition criteria, including target sectors, geographies, size ranges, transaction preferences, strategic rationale and other relevant information.
You confirm that any buyer criteria you submit are accurate, authorised and provided for genuine professional interest. You must promptly update or withdraw criteria that are no longer current.
Submitting criteria does not guarantee that any opportunity, teaser, mandate, match or introduction will be made available.
5. Sell-side mandates
Advisors may submit sell-side mandate profiles and related information. You confirm that you have the right and authority to submit the mandate information and to participate in the process.
You must ensure that any mandate information is accurate, current, non-misleading and lawful to share. You must promptly notify us if a mandate is no longer active, if process status changes, or if disclosure restrictions apply.
Submitting a mandate does not guarantee buyer interest, teaser access, introduction, transaction success or any commercial outcome.
6. Matching and review
The Platform may use structured information, software-assisted logic, scoring, admin review and human judgment to identify potential matches. Matching is not a guarantee of transaction fit, valuation, financing, legal suitability or commercial outcome.
Matches may be reviewed, sequenced, withheld, released, revised or rejected at our discretion. We may require additional confirmation before releasing teaser access, buyer interest, seller identity, buyer identity or introduction details.
7. Blind profiles and controlled disclosure
The Platform is designed to support blind profiles and controlled disclosure. Sensitive information may be withheld until a relevant fit has been reviewed and the relevant process step is appropriate.
You must not attempt to identify a seller, buyer, company, advisor, mandate or counterparty through reverse engineering, circumvention, scraping, contacting suspected parties outside the approved process, or using Platform information in a way that undermines confidentiality.
9. Confidentiality
You must treat all non-public Platform information as confidential, including sell-side mandate information, teaser materials, buyer criteria, match information, user information, process notes and any other information that is not publicly available.
You must use confidential information only for the purpose for which it was provided through the Platform. You must not disclose confidential information to third parties except where authorised, required by law, or permitted by written agreement.
10. Non-circumvention
You must not use the Platform to bypass Oliver Kaposi & Company, another user, an advisor, a buyer, a seller or an approved process. You must not independently approach a counterparty identified or reasonably identifiable through the Platform except through the approved Platform process or with written permission.
This non-circumvention obligation applies during your use of the Platform and for [insert period] after the relevant match, teaser access, introduction request or disclosure event, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
11. User content
You retain ownership of information and materials you submit, subject to the rights granted in these Terms. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, process, structure, review, display internally, disclose in controlled form and otherwise use your submitted information as necessary to operate the Platform and provide the services.
You must not submit content that is unlawful, misleading, confidential without authority, infringing, defamatory, discriminatory, malicious, harmful, or inconsistent with the professional purpose of the Platform.
12. No public database or mass distribution
The Platform is not intended to operate as a public company database, public auction platform, broad teaser distribution tool or automated introduction engine. We may limit visibility, control access, review participants and sequence disclosure to preserve relevance and confidentiality.
13. Fees and success fees
Any platform fees, success fees, engagement terms, advisor fees or transaction-related fees will be set out in a separate agreement, engagement letter, order form or written confirmation where applicable.
Unless expressly agreed in writing, use of the Platform does not create a mandate, agency relationship, exclusivity arrangement, brokerage obligation or success-fee obligation.
14. No professional advice
The Platform and any information provided through it are not legal, tax, accounting, investment, financial, regulatory, valuation or transaction advice. Users must conduct their own due diligence and obtain independent professional advice before making decisions.
We do not verify all information submitted by users and do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, availability, valuation, legality, financing readiness or transaction readiness of any mandate, buyer, seller, advisor, teaser or match.
15. Regulatory position
The Platform is a private matching and workflow tool. It is not intended to provide regulated investment advice, securities brokerage, placement services, crowdfunding services, financing services, portfolio management or any other regulated activity unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement and permitted by law.
Users are responsible for ensuring that their own use of the Platform complies with applicable laws, licensing requirements, professional rules and confidentiality obligations.
16. Acceptable use
You must not:
- use the Platform unlawfully or dishonestly;
- submit false, misleading or unauthorised information;
- scrape, copy, harvest or reverse engineer Platform content;
- attempt to identify sell-side mandates outside the approved process;
- disclose confidential information without permission;
- interfere with Platform security or operation;
- upload malware or harmful code;
- impersonate another person or firm;
- use the Platform for spam, mass solicitation or public distribution;
- circumvent approved introduction or disclosure processes.
17. Intellectual property
The Platform, website, design, software, workflows, branding, text, graphics, logos, icons and other materials are owned by or licensed to Oliver Kaposi & Company and are protected by intellectual property laws.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, reverse engineer, reproduce or create derivative works from the Platform except as expressly permitted.
18. Third-party services
The Platform may rely on third-party hosting, analytics, authentication, communication, document storage, payment, security or other services. We are not responsible for third-party services except to the extent required by law.
19. Suspension and termination
We may suspend, restrict or terminate access to the Platform at any time if we believe that:
- you have breached these Terms;
- information is inaccurate or unauthorised;
- confidentiality or process integrity is at risk;
- your account is inactive or unsuitable;
- required by law, regulation or authority request;
- necessary to protect the Platform or other users.
You may stop using the Platform at any time. Certain obligations, including confidentiality, non-circumvention, payment obligations, intellectual property protections, disclaimers and liability limitations, survive termination.
20. Disclaimers
The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, availability of matches, transaction success, buyer interest, seller interest, teaser access, introduction approval or commercial outcome.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties not expressly stated in these Terms.
21. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Oliver Kaposi & Company will not be liable for indirect, consequential, special, punitive or loss-of-profit damages, loss of opportunity, loss of data, loss of goodwill, failed transactions, reliance on user-submitted information, or unauthorised disclosure caused by user breach or third-party conduct.
Our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Platform will be limited to [insert cap], unless liability cannot be limited by applicable law.
22. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold Oliver Kaposi & Company harmless from claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses arising from your breach of these Terms, unlawful use of the Platform, unauthorised disclosure, inaccurate information, breach of confidentiality, or infringement of third-party rights.
23. Data protection
Personal data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that personal data may be processed for account management, matching, review, security, communication, audit and compliance purposes.
24. Changes to the platform or terms
We may change the Platform and these Terms from time to time. The latest version will be published on our website. Continued use of the Platform after changes take effect means that you accept the updated Terms.
25. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of Hungary, unless mandatory applicable law requires otherwise.
The courts of Hungary will have jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms, unless a separate written agreement provides otherwise or mandatory law requires a different forum.
26. Protected opportunity access
Before a buyer can view a protected teaser or blind profile, the buyer must accept the Protected Opportunity Access Terms. By accepting, the buyer confirms that the opportunity is a protected opportunity and agrees to keep the information confidential under these Terms.
Protected opportunity information must be used only to evaluate potential acquisition interest through the platform workflow. The buyer must not disclose, copy, forward, or use the information outside the approved process, and must not attempt to identify the underlying company or counterparty.
27. Introduction request
When a buyer requests an introduction, the buyer accepts the Introduction Request Terms and confirms that the request is made on behalf of the company identified in the request. This is a significant step that may create fee and non-circumvention obligations.
A completed transaction arising from an introduction may be subject to applicable success fee terms. Non-circumvention terms apply to protect the platform-controlled introduction process.
These fee and non-circumvention obligations may extend to any affiliate, acquisition vehicle, nominee, shareholder, fund, group company, related party, or other connected party as defined in these Terms where a transaction is completed with or through such a party.
The buyer must not bypass or circumvent the platform-controlled introduction process, and confirms that the company details shown at the time of the request are accurate before submitting.
28. Sell-side introduction
After a buyer requests an introduction, the sell-side advisor must accept the Sell-side Introduction Terms before receiving buyer identity or contact details. By accepting, the advisor confirms that the mandate is still live and that they are authorised to manage buyer interest for the mandate.
The advisor agrees to treat buyer identity and contact details as confidential, not to bypass or circumvent the controlled introduction process, and acknowledges that any release of information remains subject to these Terms and the admin-controlled introduction process.
