These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Venet, a platform operated as part of Bluethenics ("Venet", "we", "us", or "our"). They govern your access to and use of the Venet website, applications, and services (together, the "Service"). By applying for membership, creating an account, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. Venet is a private, invitation-and-application-based community for founders. Membership is granted at our sole discretion and may be declined or revoked. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information in your application and profile, and to keep it up to date. One person may hold one account; you are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping your login secure.
Venet is a software and networking platform that helps vetted founders discover one another, communicate, collaborate, and document agreements using self-service tools and templates. Venet is not:
Nothing on the Service is an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security, or investment, legal, tax, or financial advice. Any templates, tooltips, or educational material are provided for convenience only and are not a substitute for professional advice.
Venet offers a free membership and paid tiers (currently "Venet Pro" and "Founding Member"). Prices, features, and availability are shown at the point of purchase and may change on a prospective basis. Paid tiers are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annual) until cancelled.
Payments are processed by Dodo Payments, which acts as our Merchant of Record and authorized reseller. Dodo Payments handles the transaction, billing, and applicable taxes, and your purchase is also subject to Dodo Payments' terms. We do not receive or store your full card details. By subscribing you authorize recurring charges to your chosen payment method. "Founding Member" pricing, where offered, is limited in number and, once granted, remains at the stated price for as long as the subscription stays active and uninterrupted.
You may cancel a paid subscription at any time from your account settings or the billing portal. When you cancel, your paid features remain active until the end of the period you have already paid for, after which your account reverts to the free tier and paid-only features (including any "raising" visibility and deal-room creation) are disabled. Except where required by law or expressly stated, payments are non-refundable and we do not provide partial or pro-rated refunds for unused time. Refund requests, where applicable, are handled together with Dodo Payments.
This section is important. Please read it carefully.
Venet may let members signal that they are raising or investing, connect, and use "deal room" tools and document templates (such as SAFEs, convertible notes, equity agreements, or simple pledges) to record understandings between themselves. These are tools you use at your own discretion and risk. You acknowledge and agree that:
You agree not to: misrepresent yourself, your company, or your track record; spam, harass, defraud, or abuse other members; post unlawful, infringing, or misleading content; solicit members for purposes unrelated to the community's purpose; scrape, harvest, or resell member data or content; attempt to bypass access controls, security, or membership gating; or use the Service to violate any law. We may remove content, and suspend or terminate accounts, that breach these Terms or harm the community.
You retain ownership of the content you submit (profile, business information, activity logs, documents, messages). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, display, and process that content solely to operate and improve the Service and to show it to other members according to your chosen visibility settings. You are responsible for your content and confirm you have the rights to share it.
The Service, including its software, design, text, and the Venet and Bluethenics names and logos, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by law. We grant you a limited, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works from the Service except as permitted by law.
The Service relies on third parties including Google Firebase (hosting, database, authentication), Dodo Payments (payments), and email and analytics providers. Your use of the Service also involves their processing of data as described in our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for third-party services' own acts, and links to external sites are provided for convenience only.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant any results from using the Service, including any connection, deal, funding, or business outcome.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or investment, arising out of or related to your use of the Service or any dealings with other members. To the extent we are found liable, our total aggregate liability will not exceed the amount you paid us for the Service in the three (3) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or ₹5,000, whichever is greater.
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your content, your transactions or dealings with other members, or your breach of these Terms or of any law.
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, create risk or legal exposure, or if we discontinue the Service. You may stop using the Service at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law) will survive.
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify you (for example, by email or an in-app notice). Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to any non-waivable rights you have, the competent courts of India will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service. Before starting formal proceedings, you agree to contact us in good faith to try to resolve the matter.

This Privacy Policy explains how Venet, a service operated as part of Bluethenics ("Venet", "we", "us"), collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal data when you use the Venet website, applications, and services (the "Service"). We act as the data fiduciary/controller for this data. This policy is intended to align with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (the "DPDP Act"); if you are outside India, additional rights may apply to you and we honour reasonable requests to exercise them.
Under the DPDP Act we process your personal data based on the consent you give when you apply and use the Service, and for certain "legitimate uses" permitted by law (such as providing a service you have requested and keeping it secure). You may withdraw consent at any time (see "Your rights"); withdrawing consent may mean we can no longer provide parts of the Service.
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only as follows:
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and measure and improve the Service. Analytics providers help us understand usage in aggregate. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work without them.
We keep your personal data for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service, then only as long as necessary for legitimate business or legal purposes (for example, tax and accounting records related to payments). When no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures — including authentication, access rules, and encrypted connections — to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a personal-data breach affects you, we will act in accordance with applicable law.
Subject to applicable law, you may: access the personal data we hold about you; correct or update inaccurate or incomplete data; request erasure of your data; withdraw consent; and nominate another person to exercise your rights in the event of death or incapacity (as provided under the DPDP Act). Much of this you can do directly in your account settings; for the rest, contact us using the details below. If you are in a region with additional rights (such as the EU/UK or California), we will honour reasonable requests to exercise those rights.
Our providers (such as Google Firebase and Dodo Payments) may store and process data on servers located outside your country, including outside India. Where we transfer data internationally, we rely on those providers' safeguards and applicable legal protections.
The Service is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a minor has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify you. The "Last updated" date above shows when it last changed.
For any questions, requests, or grievances about your personal data or this policy, contact our grievance point of contact at hello@bluethenics.com. We will respond within the timelines required by applicable law.
