1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to Slidemia. These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you" or "User") and Slidemia ("we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the website and services available at slidemia.com (collectively, the "Services").
Please read these Terms carefully before using the Services. By creating an account, accessing the Services, uploading any content, or otherwise using any feature of Slidemia, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy at slidemia.com/privacy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you must not access or use the Services.
If you are using the Services on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and that "you" refers to that entity as well as to you personally. If you do not have such authority, you may not use the Services on behalf of the entity.
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will notify you as described in Section 18. Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
2. Description of Services
Slidemia is an online platform designed to help individuals, teams, and organizations create more effective presentations and pitch decks. The Services currently include three main areas of functionality.
The first is educational content: Slidemia publishes written guides, tips, structured frameworks, and best-practice articles covering all aspects of presentation design, storytelling, investor communication, and slide structure. This content is available to all users and is intended to build lasting presentation skills.
The second is AI-powered document analysis: registered users may upload pitch decks, business presentations, investor materials, or other slide-based documents and receive automated analysis and recommendations. These recommendations may cover areas such as narrative structure, visual clarity, data presentation, tone, and persuasiveness. This feature is powered by third-party AI providers, as described in our Privacy Policy.
The third is AI-powered content generation: registered users may provide prompts, outlines, or source documents and receive AI-generated presentation content, including slide text, executive summaries, talking points, and structural suggestions. This feature is also powered by third-party AI providers.
We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature or aspect of the Services at any time. We will endeavor to give reasonable advance notice of significant changes where practicable, but we are not obligated to maintain any particular feature or level of service indefinitely.
3. Eligibility
To use the Services, you must be at least 16 years of age. By creating an account or using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet this minimum age requirement. If you are between 16 and 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction), you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
You must not use the Services if you are prohibited from doing so under applicable law or have previously had an account terminated by Slidemia for a violation of these Terms. The Services are not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly permit children under 16 to register or use any AI-powered features.
4. Account Registration and Security
Certain features of the Services require you to register for an account. When registering, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information, and to update that information promptly if it changes. Providing false, misleading, or incomplete information is a violation of these Terms and may result in suspension or termination of your account.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including your password. You must not share your login credentials with any third party or permit others to access the Services using your account. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not you authorized it. If you believe your account has been compromised or accessed without your authorization, you must notify us immediately at [email protected].
We reserve the right to disable or suspend any account at our discretion, including where we have reason to believe that account credentials have been compromised, that the account is being used in violation of these Terms, or that continued access poses a risk to other users or to the integrity of the Services.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these Terms. The following conduct is strictly prohibited when using the Services.
You must not upload, submit, transmit, or otherwise make available any content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, obscene, invasive of another person's privacy, or otherwise objectionable. You must not upload content that infringes the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other legal rights of any third party, including copyrighted materials you do not have the right to reproduce or distribute.
You must not use the Services to engage in, facilitate, or promote any illegal activity, including fraud, money laundering, phishing, or identity theft. You must not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Services, our servers, our databases, or any systems or networks connected to the Services. You must not introduce viruses, malware, or any other malicious or harmful code into the Services.
You must not use the Services to generate, distribute, or promote content that is discriminatory, hateful, or incites violence against any individual or group based on protected characteristics including but not limited to race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin. You must not use the AI-powered features to generate content intended to deceive, manipulate, or defraud others, including the generation of misleading investment materials or fraudulent financial claims.
You must not attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise derive the source code of the Services, nor attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Services or any related systems without our express written authorization. You must not use automated tools, bots, crawlers, or scrapers to access or collect content or data from the Services at scale without our prior written consent.
You must not use the Services to process personal data of third parties without appropriate legal basis for doing so. If you upload documents containing personal data about identifiable individuals — for example, client lists or employee records — you represent that you have the legal authority to process and share that data and that doing so complies with all applicable data protection laws.
6. Content You Submit
6.1 Ownership of Submitted Content
You retain all intellectual property rights in any documents, files, text, data, or other content you submit through the Services ("User Content"). These Terms do not transfer ownership of your User Content to us. By submitting User Content, you grant Slidemia a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to process, store, transmit, and display your User Content solely to the extent necessary to provide the Services to you. This license is limited in scope and terminates when you delete the content from the Services or close your account, subject to any legal retention obligations described in the Privacy Policy.
6.2 Your Representations Regarding Submitted Content
By submitting User Content, you represent and warrant that: you own the content or have all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to submit it and grant us the license described above; the content does not violate any applicable law, these Terms, or the rights of any third party; and, where the content contains personal data of third parties, you have a valid legal basis under applicable data protection law to process and share that data.
6.3 Sensitive and Confidential Information
You acknowledge that content you submit for AI-powered analysis or generation is transmitted to third-party AI providers as described in our Privacy Policy. You accept full responsibility for the decision to submit any particular content and for ensuring that doing so is appropriate given the sensitivity and confidentiality of the material. We strongly advise you not to submit content containing trade secrets, privileged legal communications, non-public financial information, passwords or credentials, personal data of third parties, or any information whose disclosure is restricted by a non-disclosure agreement or other legal obligation.
6.4 No Endorsement of User Content
We do not review, screen, or endorse User Content prior to its submission and are not responsible for any User Content submitted through the Services. The fact that we process your content in order to provide the Services does not imply any approval, endorsement, or verification of that content by Slidemia.
7. AI-Generated Content
7.1 Nature of AI Output
The analysis, recommendations, and content produced by Slidemia's AI-powered features ("AI Output") are generated by large language models and other AI systems. AI Output is probabilistic in nature: it is generated based on patterns in training data and the specific input you provide, and it does not reflect the exercise of professional judgment, independent verification, or human editorial review. AI Output may contain inaccuracies, omissions, outdated information, or outputs that are not suited to your specific context or goals.
7.2 Your Responsibility to Review AI Output
You are solely responsible for reviewing, evaluating, and deciding whether to use or rely on any AI Output generated through the Services. Before using AI Output in a presentation, pitch deck, or any other material you share with third parties, you should independently verify factual claims, assess the accuracy and appropriateness of the content for your specific situation, and apply your own professional judgment. Slidemia does not warrant that AI Output is accurate, complete, suitable for any particular purpose, or free from errors.
7.3 No Professional Advice
AI Output provided through the Services does not constitute financial, legal, investment, accounting, or any other form of professional advice. You should not treat AI-generated analysis of a pitch deck or AI-generated presentation content as a substitute for advice from qualified professionals. Any decisions you make in reliance on AI Output are made entirely at your own risk.
7.4 Ownership of AI Output
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, AI Output generated in response to your specific inputs is made available to you for your personal or commercial use. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of AI Output complies with applicable law, including intellectual property law. Because AI Output is generated by models trained on large datasets, we cannot guarantee that AI Output is wholly original or that it will not resemble content generated for other users or available elsewhere. We make no representations regarding the registrability of AI Output as intellectual property, and you should seek legal advice if originality is important to your intended use.
8. Intellectual Property Rights
8.1 Slidemia's Intellectual Property
All content, software, technology, trademarks, trade names, logos, design elements, and materials comprising or forming part of the Services — other than User Content — are owned by or licensed to Slidemia and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. This includes the visual design and user interface of the platform, the underlying software and algorithms, the educational content we publish, and any proprietary methodologies or frameworks we have developed.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for their intended purposes. This license does not include the right to copy, reproduce, redistribute, sublicense, sell, or create derivative works based on Slidemia's proprietary content or technology, except as expressly permitted in writing by us.
8.2 Feedback
If you provide us with feedback, suggestions, ideas, or comments about the Services ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, incorporate, and commercialize that Feedback without restriction or compensation to you. You represent that your Feedback does not contain confidential information belonging to a third party and that you have the right to provide it on these terms. We are under no obligation to act on any Feedback you provide.
8.3 Copyright Complaints
We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that content available through the Services infringes your copyright, please contact us at [email protected] with a description of the allegedly infringing material, the location of the material on the Services, your contact information, and a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized. We will investigate valid complaints and take appropriate action.
9. Third-Party Services and Links
The Services rely on third-party AI providers — including OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic — to deliver AI-powered features. Use of these features is subject to those providers' terms of service and privacy policies in addition to these Terms. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of our AI providers and make no representation that their services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or produce any particular result.
The Services may contain links to external websites and resources that are not operated or controlled by Slidemia. These links are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of the linked site or its content. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of service of any third-party website, and your use of any linked site is entirely at your own risk and subject to that site's own terms.
10. Fees, Subscriptions, and Payments
Some features of the Services may be offered on a paid subscription or pay-per-use basis. Where applicable, the fees, billing cycles, and payment terms for any paid features will be clearly presented to you before you are charged. By selecting a paid plan, you authorize us or our payment processor to charge the applicable fees to your designated payment method on a recurring basis (for subscriptions) or at the time of purchase (for one-time charges).
All fees are stated in the currency displayed at checkout and are exclusive of applicable taxes, which will be added where required by law. You are responsible for any taxes, duties, or levies applicable to your use of the Services in your jurisdiction.
If a payment fails or is declined, we reserve the right to suspend or limit access to paid features until payment is successfully completed. For subscriptions, you may cancel at any time, and cancellation will take effect at the end of the then-current billing period. Unless otherwise stated, fees paid for completed billing periods are non-refundable, except where required by applicable consumer protection law.
We reserve the right to change our pricing at any time. For existing subscribers, we will provide reasonable notice of any price change before it takes effect, and your continued use of a paid subscription following a price change constitutes your agreement to the new pricing.
11. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
11.1 Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SLIDEMIA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components. We do not warrant that any AI Output will be accurate, complete, current, or suitable for any particular purpose. We do not warrant that defects in the Services will be corrected or that the Services will meet your requirements or expectations.
11.2 Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SLIDEMIA, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL LOSS, EVEN IF SLIDEMIA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY LIABILITY OF SLIDEMIA IS NOT EXCLUDED BY THE ABOVE, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO SLIDEMIA IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED EUROS (€100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for certain types of damages, in which case the above exclusions and limitations will apply only to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in your jurisdiction.
11.3 Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Slidemia and its directors, officers, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or related to: your use of the Services; User Content you submit; your violation of these Terms; your violation of any applicable law; or your infringement of any third-party right, including intellectual property rights or privacy rights. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with our defense in such cases.
12. Suspension and Termination
12.1 Termination by You
You may terminate your account at any time by using the account deletion feature within the Services or by contacting us at [email protected]. Upon termination, your right to access the Services will cease immediately. If you have a paid subscription, termination will take effect at the end of the current billing period and no refund will be issued for any remaining period, except where required by applicable law.
12.2 Suspension or Termination by Slidemia
We reserve the right to suspend, limit, or permanently terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, if we determine in our reasonable judgment that you have violated these Terms, that your use of the Services poses a risk to other users or to the integrity of the platform, that we are required to do so by applicable law or a court or regulatory order, or that your account has been inactive for an extended period.
Where practicable and not prohibited by law, we will provide advance notice of termination and an opportunity to cure any remediable breach before taking action. In cases involving serious or repeated violations, illegal conduct, or an immediate risk to other users or the platform, we may act without prior notice.
12.3 Effect of Termination
Upon termination of your account for any reason, your license to use the Services immediately terminates. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 6, 7, 8, 11, 13, 14, and 15 — shall remain in full force and effect.
13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms and any dispute arising from or related to your use of the Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law, without regard to conflict of law principles. We aim to resolve disputes through direct communication first: if you have a concern, please contact us at [email protected] and we will work in good faith to reach a resolution.
If a dispute cannot be resolved through direct negotiation, both parties agree to attempt to resolve it through mediation before pursuing formal legal proceedings. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction where necessary to prevent irreparable harm.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any claim arising under these Terms must be brought within one year of the date on which you knew or should have known of the facts giving rise to the claim, after which such claim shall be permanently barred.
If you are located in the European Union, you may also have the right to access online dispute resolution platforms provided by the European Commission, available at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
14. Force Majeure
We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform our obligations under these Terms to the extent that such delay or failure is caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control. These circumstances include, without limitation, acts of God, natural disasters, war, civil unrest, terrorism, industrial action, power failures, internet outages, government actions or restrictions, or failures of third-party service providers including our AI provider partners.
15. Severability and Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed from these Terms if modification is not possible, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms on any occasion shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision or of our ability to enforce it on any future occasion.
16. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented to you in connection with specific features (such as subscription terms), constitute the entire agreement between you and Slidemia with respect to the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties, or understandings between you and Slidemia regarding the subject matter hereof. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any additional terms presented in connection with a specific feature, the additional terms shall govern with respect to that feature.
17. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, to any affiliate, successor, or acquirer in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, without your consent and without notice, provided that the assignee assumes all of our obligations under these Terms.
18. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in the Services, applicable law, or our business practices. When we do so, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.
For material changes — meaning changes that significantly affect your rights, obligations, or how the Services work — we will provide advance notice by email to the address associated with your account, by a notice displayed prominently within the Services, or both. We will give you a reasonable period, typically no less than 14 days, to review material changes before they take effect.
For non-material changes such as minor clarifications or editorial corrections, the updated Terms will take effect on the date shown. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you should stop using the Services and may request account deletion by contacting [email protected].
