Founders are responsible for their own compliance with applicable securities laws, including but not limited to Regulation D and Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, and any equivalent laws in their jurisdiction.

The Platform's design, branding, code, and original content are owned by Deckroom. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from our intellectual property without written permission.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Deckroom shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Platform. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
