Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and Tentt (“Tentt,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and govern your access to and use of the Tentt website at trytentt.com, our public deal directory and newsfeed, and our deal origination, outreach, research, and AI services performed for client firms (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a firm, entity, or client, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” refers to that organization.

Tentt is a technology-enabled deal origination firm. We work with private equity firms, M&A advisors, commercial lenders, investment banks, and other deal-focused firms (each a “Client”) to run origination engines, outreach programs, research workflows, and AI implementations on the Client’s behalf. We are a services firm — not a SaaS vendor — and most of our work is delivered under a separate engagement letter, statement of work, or order form (each an “Engagement”).

Separately, Tentt operates a public deal directory and newsfeed that tracks commercial transactions, deals, and market activity sourced from publicly available information. That directory is described in Section 6 below and is available to visitors without an Engagement.

In the event of a conflict between these Terms and an Engagement, the Engagement controls for the subject matter it covers.

Under an Engagement, Tentt may provide services including:

• Deal origination strategy, target universe building, and signal research;
• Outreach and communications sent under the Client’s brand, domain, and identity;
• AI implementations, workflow automations, and internal tools configured for the Client;
• Ongoing enrichment, list hygiene, and deliverability work on the Client’s behalf.

The specific scope, deliverables, ownership terms, and fees for each Engagement are set out in that Engagement.

Where Tentt sends outreach communications under a Client’s brand, domain, and identity, the Client is the sender of record for those communications. The Client is responsible for (a) ensuring it has a lawful basis to contact each recipient under applicable law, including the CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, U.S. state privacy laws, the UK/EU GDPR, Canada’s CASL, and any other jurisdiction that applies; (b) providing accurate sender identification and a functioning unsubscribe mechanism; (c) honoring suppression, opt-out, and deletion requests promptly; and (d) the content of any messages sent, including representations about the Client’s business, mandate, or capabilities.

Tentt will configure and operate outreach infrastructure in line with the Client’s instructions and commercially reasonable deliverability practices, but does not independently verify consent for each recipient and does not act as the sender of record.

You may not use the Services, and may not instruct Tentt to use the Services on your behalf, to send outreach that is unlawful, deceptive, harassing, or that impersonates a third party.

You agree not to, and not to permit any third party to:

• Scrape, crawl, or bulk-extract data from the public directory or newsfeed, except through interfaces or feeds we expressly provide for that purpose;
• Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the directory data as a standalone dataset or competing product;
• Use the Services to build a competing deal intelligence product or origination engine;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code of the Services except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law;
• Use the Services to transmit malware, conduct intrusion attempts, or interfere with the integrity or performance of the Services;
• Use the Services in violation of applicable law, including securities, privacy, export control, anti-spam, and sanctions laws;
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or send communications under the Tentt brand without authorization.

Journalistic, research, and fair-use citation of individual items from the directory is permitted with attribution to Tentt and a link to the source page.

Tentt publishes a public directory and newsfeed that compiles information about commercial transactions, deals, lenders, sponsors, advisors, and related market activity. The directory is built from information that is publicly available, including but not limited to public filings, press releases, trade press, regulatory disclosures, court records, company websites, and other openly accessible sources.

The directory is provided for informational purposes only. It does not constitute investment advice, legal advice, tax advice, or a recommendation to enter into any transaction. Entries may be incomplete, out of date, or contain errors. Tentt makes no representation that any entry reflects the full or current state of a transaction, party, or market.

Corrections and removal requests. If you believe an entry about you or your firm is inaccurate, outdated, or should not appear in the directory, please reach out to us with the URL of the entry, the specific item in dispute, and any supporting context. We will review requests in good faith and, where appropriate, correct, update, or remove the entry. We retain editorial discretion over the directory but will not knowingly publish information we have been shown to be inaccurate.

The Services — including the website, the directory and newsfeed as a compiled work, our software, research, written content, and trademarks — are owned by Tentt or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except as expressly granted in these Terms or an Engagement, no license is granted by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

For Engagements, deliverable ownership is determined by the applicable Engagement. Tentt retains ownership of its pre-existing materials, know-how, methodologies, workflows, and any general improvements to its underlying tools. A Client’s license to use delivered configurations, playbooks, and assets is scoped to that Client’s own business unless the Engagement says otherwise.

You retain ownership of the data, contacts, mandates, files, and other materials you provide to us (“Client Data”), including any contact lists used for outreach. You grant Tentt a limited license to access, process, and use Client Data solely to provide and improve the Services for you, and as otherwise permitted by an applicable Engagement or our privacy practices.

You represent that you have the rights necessary to provide Client Data to us and that our use of it as permitted under these Terms will not violate any third-party rights or applicable law. You are responsible for the lawfulness of any outreach lists you provide, including the basis on which each contact was collected.

Portions of the Services use large language models and other machine learning systems to generate suggestions, drafts, research summaries, outreach copy, directory entries, and workflow outputs (“AI Outputs”). AI Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or unsuitable for a specific purpose. You are responsible for reviewing AI Outputs before relying on them, especially for deal sourcing, financial analysis, legal, regulatory, investment, or outbound communication decisions.

Nothing in the Services constitutes investment advice, legal advice, tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or to enter into any transaction.

Fees for Engagements are set out in the applicable Engagement. Unless stated otherwise, fees are quoted in U.S. dollars, are non-refundable, and are due within the payment terms specified on the invoice. Late amounts may accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. You are responsible for any taxes other than taxes on Tentt’s net income. The public directory and newsfeed are provided free of charge unless otherwise indicated.

Each party may receive non-public information from the other that is marked or reasonably understood to be confidential (“Confidential Information”), including mandates, target lists, deal pipelines, and strategy. Each party will use the other’s Confidential Information only to perform under these Terms or an Engagement and will protect it with at least the same degree of care it uses for its own confidential information, and no less than a reasonable degree of care. Confidential Information does not include information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, was already known without restriction, or is independently developed.

The Services integrate with, link to, or incorporate information from third-party products, websites, data providers, and public sources. Tentt does not control those third parties, is not responsible for their content or practices, and makes no representations about them. Your use of any third-party service is governed by that service’s own terms.

The Services, including the public directory and newsfeed, are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tentt disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. Tentt does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any data, including AI Outputs or directory entries, will be accurate, complete, or reliable.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Tentt, its affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Tentt’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts paid by you to Tentt under the applicable Engagement in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tentt and its affiliates from and against any third-party claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of (a) your use of the Services in violation of these Terms, (b) Client Data or outreach instructions you provide, including any claim that an outreach recipient did not consent or that your lists were unlawfully obtained, or (c) your violation of applicable law or the rights of a third party.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time if you breach these Terms or if we reasonably believe your use poses a security, legal, reputational, or operational risk. Termination of an Engagement is governed by the Engagement itself. Sections intended by their nature to survive termination — including Intellectual property, Confidentiality, Disclaimers, Limitation of liability, Indemnification, and Governing law — will survive.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will be communicated by reasonable means, such as a notice on the Services or an email to Clients. Your continued use of the Services after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of law principles. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware for any dispute not subject to arbitration, and each party waives any objection to venue in those courts.

Questions about these Terms, and directory corrections or removal requests, can be directed to Tentt through the contact details published on our website.
