Terms of Service
1. The service
PitchDeck Autopsy provides written forensic feedback on startup pitch decks: narrative structure, clarity, and investor-readiness. By using this site or ordering a teardown, you agree to these terms.
2. Opinions, not guarantees
Our teardowns are professional opinions for informational purposes. We do not guarantee funding outcomes, investor interest, or business results of any kind. Fundraising depends on many factors beyond any single review.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to order a teardown.
4. Free pilot program
Our first 10 teardowns are free. Free teardowns are provided as-is, subject to availability, and we may decline any order or pause the program at our discretion.
5. Orders and payment
Paid tiers will be introduced in the future. When paid ordering launches, these terms will be updated with pricing, delivery timelines, and refund terms before any payment is collected.
6. What you submit
You confirm that you have the right to share any deck materials you submit. Your materials are treated as confidential and are never shared, published, or used beyond your teardown.
7. Deliverables and intellectual property
Your completed teardown is yours to use. The underlying deck remains entirely yours. We may retain anonymized excerpts to improve the service, unless you ask us not to. The PitchDeck Autopsy name, site design, and methodology remain our property.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the service, attempt to disrupt it, or resell teardowns as your own commercial offering without permission.
9. Disclaimers
The service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from the service is limited to the amount you paid us (currently $0 for free pilot orders). We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising from your misuse of the service or violation of these terms.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms; the updated version will be posted here with a revised effective date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
14. Contact
PitchDeck Autopsy is operated by an independent service provider. For questions about these terms, contact us through the form on this site. See also our Privacy Policy.
