Last Updated: January 2026

1. Introduction

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Dealdrive virtual data room platform (the "Service") provided by Dealdrive AS, a Norwegian limited company with organization number 934 150 937, with registered address at Arbins gate 2, 0253 Oslo, Norway ("Dealdrive," "we," "us," or "our").

By creating an account, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the Service.

2. Scope and Relationship to Other Agreements

These Terms apply to all users of the Service. Depending on your role, additional agreements may apply:

(a) Customers: If you or your organization purchases the Service, the Terms of Service at dealdrive.co/legal/terms-of-service governs that commercial relationship. Customers and their personnel remain bound by these Terms of Use.

(b) Invited Users: If you access Data Rooms at the invitation of another party, your access is governed by these Terms. Your relationship with the party who invited you—including any confidentiality obligations regarding content—is a matter between you and them, not with Dealdrive.

Our processing of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy at dealdrive.co/legal/privacy.

3. Account Registration and Security

3.1 Account Creation

To use the Service, you must register for an account using accurate and complete information. You agree to keep your account information current.

3.2 Security Obligations

You are responsible for:

(a) Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials;

(b) Using a strong, unique password and enabling two-factor authentication where available;

(d) Immediately notifying Dealdrive at [email protected] if you become aware of any unauthorized access.

You must not share your account credentials with any other person.

4. Data Room Access

4.1 Access Rights

You may access Data Rooms as authorized by the party who controls them (the "Controlling Party"). Your access permissions—including whether you may view, download, or print content—are determined by the Controlling Party, not by Dealdrive.

4.2 Content Ownership and Confidentiality

Dealdrive provides the platform; we do not control who is invited to Data Rooms or what content is shared. Content in Data Rooms belongs to whoever uploaded it or holds rights to it under applicable law. Any confidentiality obligations regarding such content arise from your agreements with the relevant parties, not from these Terms.

Certain content may be designated as private to you or accessible only within your team, side, or user group and not visible to other parties in the Data Room ("Private Content"). Dealdrive will not disclose your Private Content to users outside the group with whom it was shared.

4.3 Monitoring

Your activities within the Service may be logged, including documents viewed, downloaded, and printed. Audit trails may be provided to the Controlling Party. Certain features designated as private (such as personal notes) may be excluded from such monitoring where indicated in the Service.

4.4 Data Processing for Uploaded Content

Where you upload content containing Personal Data (as defined in the General Data Protection Regulation) to the Service:

(a) You (or the party on whose behalf you act) are the data controller for such Personal Data.

(b) By uploading content containing Personal Data, you instruct Dealdrive to process it to provide the Service. Dealdrive shall process this data in accordance with the Data Processing Agreement at dealdrive.co/legal/dpa, which applies to your uploaded content as if you were a party to it.

(c) You represent and warrant that you have a lawful basis to upload and share any Personal Data, have provided required notices to data subjects, and comply with applicable data protection laws.

(d) If Dealdrive receives a data subject request regarding Personal Data you uploaded, Dealdrive will notify you (where permitted by law) and provide reasonable assistance. You are responsible for responding.

If AI-powered features are available to you, they are assistive tools only. AI outputs may contain errors and do not constitute professional advice. AI features do not replace professional judgment, legal review, or due diligence. You are responsible for verifying any AI-generated information before relying on it.

7.4 No Advisory Relationship

Dealdrive does not provide legal, financial, tax, or other professional advice. Your use of the Service does not create any advisory relationship.

Dealdrive may also suspend your access temporarily if we reasonably believe there has been unauthorized access to your account or your account poses a security risk to the Service or other users.

10.2 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to access the Service ends immediately. Sections 5 through 9 and Section 11 survive termination.
