2. Data Protection
2.1 It's your data
Your personal and company data is sensitive and entitled to protection. All rights, titles and interests in your data held on the Caplist platform are 100% yours. Any personal, company and user-generated information will only be uploaded voluntarily by you and you confirm that you have obtained the necessary consent to upload any individual’s personal data to our platform. We’ll never share or make your data or information available to anyone without your explicit permission (other than being legally required such as a court order).
Your data is uploaded and downloaded over a secure connection, your credentials are encrypted and hashed. We don’t store (or even know) your password. Your company data and any Confidential Information you may upload to the platform is stored securely, and only people you’ve assigned as administrators can access your data, per the access permissions you assigned to those administrators. We expect you to ensure that your team, particularly those you give admin access to, have strong passwords.
2.2 Account Creation
If you establish an account on the Platform, you are responsible for all activities that occur under your user ID. You agree to: (i) log out from your account at the end of each session; and (ii) immediately notify us at post@caplist.no of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.
You are responsible for all content that you transmit or otherwise make available to our site and platform. Your access to and use of this platform may be monitored, including but not limited to, for the purpose of identifying illegal or unauthorized activities.
All personally identifiable information collected from you is governed by our Privacy Policy.
2.3 Data collection
Subject to the confidentiality obligations created under these Terms (see below), you agree that we have the right to collect and analyze specific data points and other information gained from your company profile, settings and including but not limited to interactions with our team on our chat support.
For more information about your data please view our Privacy Policy.
2.4 Granting ourselves access for customer support purposes
Occasionally you may contact us for customer support. It may be necessary for our team to access your company’s profile page for the purpose of assistance, to enable them to see what you are having an issue with or for them to inspect a document you have referred to. This will only happen with your implied consent to do so, such as during an active conversation between yourself and a team member on email.
2.5 Providing platform feedback
If you give us feedback on the Platform, for example recommendations for improvements or features, such feedback will be deemed non-confidential and non-proprietary and implementation of that feedback is owned by us and may become part of the Site or the Platform without compensation to you. We reserve all rights in and to the Platform unless we expressly state otherwise.
3. No Legal, Tax or Financial Advice
The Platform and related Services constitute an online portal that provides information and access to a mix of industry standard, open-source, third party and proprietary documents, guides, templated forms, analytics and data, team administration and networking functionality, and additional features to assist with the completion of tasks relating to company general meetings and general company and team administration.
As you navigate through our Services and build documents on the Platform you will be guided by our ‘hints’ that help you choose the required data and in some instances, whether to include or not include a particular term. Of course, these choices may change as you negotiate with other stakeholders. These hints have been created to help you understand different terms and commercial decisions. Whilst sourced from experts and reflecting industry best practice, they are provided for general information only. They are not intended to amount to advice on which you should rely. If at any point you are still uncertain about your selection, you should obtain professional or specialist advice before taking or refraining from any action on the basis of those hints.
Likewise, as you navigate the Platform and use our Services you can communicate with our team. From time to time you will have certain questions you would like to take some advice on. You may put your questions to our customer support team. We will try to provide you with an informed response based on our experience or direct you to a relevant resource. However, at no point does this advice qualify as legal, tax or financial advice. If you remain uncertain you must verify the information that we provide with a qualified professional such as a qualified and regulated legal professional in your jurisdiction. If you do not know of a qualified and regulated person or firm, we can suggest to you a number of partner firms and professionals we know in your jurisdiction.
For the avoidance of doubt, by using the Platform and our Services, you agree that:
Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information on the Platform, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content on our Platform is accurate, complete or up to date.
4. Modifications to our documents
You may want to include a custom term into a document that is not available on our Platform. We may, at our discretion provide a bespoke service to include the wording you request to achieve the custom term you desire. In the event this happens you must understand we are not assuming any of the legal risk for the inclusion of such a term and should there be any doubt over the validity or merits of the term you should seek professional legal advice.
5. Confidential information
Your relationship with us is not legally privileged in the way it would be if you were working with a regulated legal professional. Nevertheless, in the course of assisting you with one of our Services, both of us understand that the other party has disclosed or may disclose business, technical, financial or other confidential, sensitive or proprietary information relating to their business (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes non-public information regarding features, functionality and performance of the Service, non-public information data provided by you to us to enable the provision of our Services (company data, business plans, financials, pitch decks, investor interest information etc), and any other information that, based on the circumstances under which it was disclosed, a reasonable person would believe to be confidential. Both of us agree:
(i) to take reasonable precautions to protect such Confidential Information; and
(ii) not to use (except in the performance of the Services or as otherwise permitted herein) or divulge to any third person any such Confidential Information.
The foregoing provisions will not apply with respect to any information that any of us can prove:
(a) is or becomes generally available to the public;
(b) was in its possession or known by it prior to receipt from the other party;
(c) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party;
(d) was independently developed without use of any Confidential Information owned by the other party; or
(e) is required to be disclosed by law
6. Proprietary Rights
We own and retain all right, title and interest in and to (a) the Services and Platform, all improvements, enhancements or modifications thereto, (b) any software, applications, inventions or other technology developed in connection with our Services or support or the Platform, and (c) all intellectual property rights related to any of the foregoing, including but not limited to all text, published material, document creation “flow”, sound, graphics, user interfaces, visual interfaces, photographs, trademarks, logos, artwork and computer code, including but not limited to the design, structure, selection, coordination, expression, and “look and feel” of the Platform and any related Services. Those works are protected by copyright laws and treaties around the world. All such rights are reserved.
You will own all right, title and interest in and to your personal data and Confidential Information.
No rights or licenses are granted except as expressly set forth herein.
7. Payment of Fees

Once purchased, you will have unlimited access to that product for so long as you have a valid subscription to the relevant subscription package that the product relates to. Whether you use one or several of the features included in the product, you are nevertheless liable to pay us the Fees in full for that product.

8.2 Termination rights
Either party may terminate the agreement under these Terms upon thirty (30) days’ notice. For any material breaches of these Terms, we may terminate our agreement with you with immediate effect. You will pay in full for the Services that you contracted for. Upon any termination, your documents and data will be stored by us for a reasonable amount of time following non-renewal of your subscription so that you can continue where you left off once you choose to re-subscribe, but we do not guarantee that we will store this data forever and will not be held responsible or assume any liability for it’s deletion. As such, we recommend you download your documents and data before your decision not to renew your subscriptions so you have your own copy of that information should you need them outside of being a Caplist subscriber.

11. Miscellaneous
These Terms and our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy constitute the entire agreement with respect to access to and use of the Platform and related Services. Our obligations, if any, with regard to our Platform and Services are governed solely by the agreements pursuant to which they are provided and nothing on our Site, Platform or through discussions with our team should be construed to alter such agreements, unless we explicitly state we are acting or allowing you to act contrary to these Terms.
You agree that any violation by you of these Terms will constitute an unlawful and unfair business practice, and will cause irreparable harm to us, for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and you consent to us obtaining any injunctive or equitable relief that we deem necessary or appropriate in such circumstances. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies we may have at law or in equity. The failure by us to enforce any provision in these Terms will not constitute or be construed as a waiver of such provision or of the right to enforce it at a later time.
If any reference in these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
Our agreement under these Terms is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent. We may transfer and assign any of our rights and obligations under these Terms without consent. Our agreement under these Terms is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms, and that all waivers and modifications must be in writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein.
No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of our agreement under these Terms and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind us in any respect whatsoever. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under these Terms, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and legal fees.
All notices under these Terms will be deemed to have been duly given when received, or if transmitted by email, the day after it is sent.
Our agreement under these Terms will be governed by the laws of Norway and we both agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Norway.
