TakeX Limited
Last updated: 11 June 2026

1. Who we are and how to contact us

The TakeX platform at takex.ai (the Platform), including the Ambrose AI assessment system, SIRA, and all related products and services, is operated by TakeX Limited (TakeX, we, us, our), a company incorporated in England and Wales under company number 17016645, with its registered office at 128 City Road, London EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom.

The Platform is also supported by other companies in the TakeX group from time to time, which may act as service providers or processors in delivering the Platform. References in these terms to TakeX include other companies in the TakeX group where the context permits (for example, for the licence you grant, the indemnity you give, and the entities entitled to enforce these terms).

To contact us: contact@takex.ai.

2. By using our Platform you accept these terms

By accessing or using the Platform, you confirm that you accept these Terms of Use and agree to comply with them. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform. We recommend you keep a copy of these terms for your records.

3. Other terms that apply to you

These Terms of Use refer to the following additional terms, which also apply to your use of the Platform:

  • Our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data.
  • Our Cookie Policy, which sets out information about cookies on the Platform.

When you register an account, you accept these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.

We may from time to time display supplemental terms in relation to specific products, services, or features. Where we do so, by proceeding to use that product after the supplemental terms are displayed to you, you agree to those supplemental terms in addition to these Terms of Use. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and any supplemental terms displayed for a specific product, the supplemental terms apply to that product.

4. You and your account

4.1 Business users only

The Platform is provided exclusively for business users. By registering, you warrant and represent that:

  • You are acting in the course of a trade, business, profession, or organisation;
  • You are at least 18 years old and have authority to bind the entity on whose behalf you are using the Platform;
  • You are registering using a professional or business email address; and
  • You are not a consumer for the purposes of UK or EU consumer protection law.

If you are using the Platform to upload, share, or assess materials relating to a third party (for example, a startup or founder), you warrant that you have the right and authority to share those materials with TakeX for the purposes of the Platform, including any necessary consents from the individuals concerned.

4.2 Compliance with laws

You warrant that you, and any entity on whose behalf you use the Platform, are not subject to sanctions imposed by the UK, EU, US, UN, or any other applicable jurisdiction, and are not located in or organised under the laws of any country or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions.

You will use the Platform in compliance with all applicable laws, including sanctions, export control, anti-bribery, anti-money-laundering, and data protection laws. You will notify TakeX promptly if any of the warranties in this section ceases to be true.

4.3 Account registration and security

To access certain features, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information at registration and to keep it accurate, current, and complete.

You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You must not share your credentials with any third party. You must notify us immediately at contact@takex.ai if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account.

We may, in our sole discretion, suspend or terminate your account or disable any credentials if you do not meet the eligibility criteria above or if we consider that you have failed to comply with these terms.

5. What the Platform does

The Platform is a portfolio of products and services offered by TakeX. Different products may be made available on the Platform from time to time (for example, Ambrose, our AI-powered platform for startup assessment and certification, SIRA, an AI companion tool for founders, and other products TakeX may launch).

Categories of services available on the Platform may include:

  • AI-powered startup assessment, scoring, and track allocation;
  • Certification and credentialing of startups;
  • Generation of reports and related materials;
  • AI tools and companion products for founders, investors, and other users;
  • Matching and introduction services between startups, investors, accelerators, corporates, mentors, co-founders, and other users;
  • Other services made available on the Platform from time to time.

The specific features, deliverables, eligibility requirements, content-sharing arrangements, fees, and any product-specific rules for each product are described on the Platform and, where applicable, in supplemental terms specific to that product. By using a particular product, you agree to the supplemental terms applicable to it (if any), in addition to these Terms of Use. In the event of any conflict between these Terms of Use and supplemental terms in relation to a specific product, the supplemental terms apply to that product.

5.1 What the Platform does not do

The Platform provides assessment, certification, and matching services only. TakeX does not provide investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, tax advice, or any other regulated or professional advice. Assessment results and certifications reflect the analysis of submitted materials at a point in time and do not constitute advice, recommendations, or guarantees of any kind.

5.2 Fees, payment, and refunds

Fees for paid services are displayed on the Platform at the time of purchase. Pricing, plans, and bundled offers may change from time to time; the price applicable to your purchase is the price displayed at the point of sale.

Payments are processed by our third-party payment provider, which may act as merchant of record and handle applicable taxes. By making a purchase, you also agree to the terms of the relevant payment provider. The identity of our payment provider may change from time to time.

All purchases are final and non-refundable, except where required by applicable law or as set out in the supplemental terms for a specific product. We may, at our discretion, refund accidental purchases, duplicate charges, or material service failures. To raise a refund request, contact us at contact@takex.ai. Where a refund is granted, it is processed via our payment provider and timing may depend on that provider’s processes.

Where you have entered into a custom, enterprise, or volume pricing arrangement, the refund and payment terms set out in that arrangement apply.

Service mechanics. Where a product includes specific service mechanics — such as re-evaluations, retries, revisions, usage limits, validity periods, or other features that affect what you receive for your fee — these are as displayed on the Platform at the time of purchase or as set out in the supplemental terms for the relevant product. TakeX may change these mechanics from time to time for future purchases.

6. Our rights to change and manage the Platform

6.1 Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time to reflect changes in law, in the Platform’s features, or in our business. The “Last updated” date at the top of this document indicates when these terms were last changed. Each time you wish to use the Platform, please check these terms to ensure you understand the version that applies.

If we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify you, such as by email or by posting a notice on the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

6.2 Changes to the Platform, suspension, and withdrawal

We may update, change, suspend, withdraw, or restrict the availability of all or any part of the Platform from time to time to reflect changes to our products, our users’ needs, or our business priorities. We do not guarantee that the Platform, or any content on it, will always be available or uninterrupted. Where reasonably practicable, we will give advance notice of significant changes.

6.3 Assignment and transfer

We may assign, transfer, novate, or sub-contract our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation, including any company within the TakeX group or any successor entity. We will notify you in writing if this happens and ensure that the assignment or transfer does not adversely affect your rights under these terms.

7. Your content

7.1 Your ownership

You retain ownership of all materials you submit to the Platform, including pitch decks, startup information, written submissions, and other materials (Your Content).

7.2 Licence you grant to TakeX

By submitting Your Content, you grant TakeX a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sub-licensable, and transferable licence to:

  • Host, store, index, transmit, display, process, and otherwise use Your Content to operate and deliver the Platform and its services to you;
  • Generate assessments, reports, scores, certifications, and other outputs from Your Content;
  • Share Your Content and outputs as described in How we share Your Content below;
  • Use Your Content and resulting outputs to develop, train, evaluate, and improve TakeX’s proprietary systems and technologies; and
  • Use de-identified or aggregated forms of Your Content for research, benchmarking, analytics, model improvement, and the development of new services.

We will not publicly disclose Your Content in identifiable form except as described in How we share Your Content below or with your consent.

7.3 How we use AI and third-party providers

The Platform uses artificial intelligence systems and third-party infrastructure providers (including cloud and AI providers) to deliver its services. Content submitted to the Platform may be processed by such third-party providers under their own terms, which generally restrict the use of submitted content (for example, by prohibiting the providers from training their own models on it). We select providers we consider appropriate for the security and confidentiality of submitted content.

7.4 How we share Your Content

What we share, and with whom, is set out below, on the Platform, and in any supplemental terms that may apply to the product you are using. By using a product, you consent to the sharing described for that product.

Sharing arrangements include:

  • Assessment and certification services for founders. Where a founder submits materials for assessment and obtains certification, the founder’s headline information, deck or summary materials, and certification result will be made available to investors and other evaluators on the Platform to enable them to review the opportunity. Full detailed reports remain private to the founder unless the founder chooses to share them.
  • Assessment services for investors and evaluators. Where an investor, accelerator, corporate, or other evaluator submits materials for assessment, the assessment is provided to that user and is not made available to other users without consent.
  • Programme, partner, or evaluator-facing services. Where a product involves a third-party programme, accelerator, corporate partner, or other evaluator, your submitted materials may be shared with that party in accordance with the rules of that product as set out on the Platform or in any applicable supplemental terms.

You are responsible for reviewing the sharing arrangements applicable to each product before submitting Your Content.

7.5 Matching and recommendation services

Where a product includes matching, ranking, recommendation, or introduction features, you consent to TakeX processing Your Content and your profile information using TakeX’s proprietary matching algorithms and related technology to identify and surface potential matches, recommendations, or introductions with other users.

You may withdraw your consent to future matching at any time by writing to contact@takex.ai or using any opt-out feature provided on the Platform. Withdrawal of consent:

  • Is not effective immediately and takes effect within a reasonable period after we have processed the request;
  • Applies only to matching, ranking, or recommendation activity carried out after the withdrawal takes effect; and
  • Does not unwind, reverse, or otherwise affect any matches, recommendations, or introductions already made, or any connections, communications, or arrangements arising from them.

7.6 Content restrictions

You agree that Your Content will not:

  • Infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party;
  • Be false, misleading, fraudulent, defamatory, or unlawful;
  • Contain viruses, malicious code, or other technologically harmful material; or
  • Be uploaded without the rights and consents necessary for TakeX to use it as set out in these terms.

We may, in our sole discretion, remove, suspend, or refuse to process any content that we consider to be in breach of these terms.

8. Security and use of Your Content

TakeX will:

  • Use Your Content only as permitted under these terms and any supplemental terms applicable to the product you are using;
  • Not disclose Your Content to anyone other than as described in How we share Your Content (which sets out the sharing arrangements you have agreed to);
  • Take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect Your Content against unauthorised access, use, or disclosure; and
  • Notify affected users without undue delay where required by law in the event of a security incident.

To the extent any unauthorised access, use, or disclosure of Your Content is caused by a third party acting against TakeX’s reasonable security measures (including by criminal hacking, social engineering, or denial-of-service attack), and not by TakeX’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, TakeX will not be in breach of these terms or of its obligations under this section.

You agree that you will protect any non-public elements of the Platform and any non-public information you receive about TakeX with at least a reasonable standard of care, use them only for the purposes of these terms, and not disclose them to any third party without TakeX’s consent.

The obligations in this section survive termination of these terms.

9. Our intellectual property

9.1 Ownership and trade marks

The Platform, including all TakeX products (including but not limited to Ambrose and SIRA, and other TakeX products from time to time), software, designs, text, graphics, branding, certifications, badges, and all related content provided by TakeX (together, the TakeX IP), is owned by TakeX or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws and the laws protecting confidential information and trade secrets.

You may not reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the TakeX IP. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from any of the TakeX IP without our express written consent, except to the limited extent strictly necessary to use the Platform as permitted by these terms (such as ordinary browser caching).

Your use of outputs you receive. Where you purchase or otherwise receive an output generated by the Platform that is provided specifically to you (such as an assessment report, certificate, or similar deliverable), TakeX grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sub-licensable, royalty-free licence to use, copy, store, and share that output for your own legitimate business purposes (for example, sharing your certified report with investors or advisors). You may not (a) modify or misrepresent the output, (b) remove or alter any TakeX branding, attribution, or notices, (c) resell or commercially distribute the output to third parties, or (d) use the output in any manner inconsistent with these terms.

TakeX, Ambrose, SIRA, and other product, service, and feature names, logos, and marks used on the Platform are trade marks of TakeX. You may not use them without our prior written approval, except as expressly permitted on the Platform or in any applicable supplemental terms (for example, certified users may display a certification badge in accordance with our guidelines).

9.2 Certifications and credentials

Where a product involves a certification, credential, badge, or similar status granted by TakeX, that certification is a credential issued by TakeX in accordance with the rules of the relevant product. Users may display the certification for legitimate business purposes in accordance with any guidelines we publish for that product.

We may revoke any certification or credential at any time, in our sole discretion, including (without limitation) where:

  • It was obtained on the basis of false, misleading, or incomplete information;
  • The user materially misrepresents the certification or its status;
  • The user breaches these terms or any applicable supplemental terms for the relevant product; or
  • We consider that continued certification is inappropriate.

Revoked certifications must be removed from the user’s materials promptly after notice.

9.3 No text or data mining, web scraping, or AI training on outputs

You may not conduct, authorise, or permit any text or data mining, web scraping, automated extraction, or similar activity in relation to the Platform, its content, or any outputs generated by the Platform (including assessments, reports, scores, and certifications). You may not use any output of the Platform to train, fine-tune, or otherwise develop any artificial intelligence model. This restriction does not apply to the extent we cannot exclude it by contract under applicable law.

9.4 Feedback

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Platform, you grant TakeX an unrestricted, perpetual, royalty-free right to use that feedback without obligation to you.

9.5 Use of your name and logo

You grant TakeX the right to identify you as a TakeX customer, and to use your company name and logo, on the TakeX website, in marketing materials, in pitch decks, and in similar promotional materials. You may withdraw this consent at any time by writing to contact@takex.ai, in which case TakeX will cease such use within a reasonable period (provided that TakeX is not required to recall or alter materials already distributed in good faith).

10. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to:

  • Use the Platform for any unlawful purpose;
  • Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information, or submit blank, spam, or manipulative content;
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Platform, its systems, or any other user’s account;
  • Interfere with, damage, or disrupt the Platform or any equipment or network on which it relies;
  • Use automated systems (bots, crawlers, scrapers) to access the Platform without our written permission;
  • Circumvent access restrictions, paywalls, or security measures;
  • Resell or redistribute Platform services without authorisation;
  • Harass, abuse, or harm other users; or
  • Introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code to the Platform.

Breach of this section may result, in our sole discretion, in suspension or termination of your account, and may also constitute a criminal offence (including under the Computer Misuse Act 1990 in the UK). We may report breaches to law enforcement and cooperate with any investigation.

11. AI outputs and disclaimers

11.1 AI outputs and Platform availability

Assessments, reports, scores, certifications, recommendations, and other outputs generated by the Platform (AI Outputs) are produced by artificial intelligence systems. The Platform, including all AI Outputs and content, is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all implied conditions, warranties, representations, and other terms that may otherwise apply to the Platform.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • AI Outputs may contain errors, inaccuracies, omissions, or biases, and are not independently verified by TakeX for accuracy;
  • AI Outputs reflect analysis at a point in time, based on the materials submitted, and do not account for subsequent changes in circumstances or new information;
  • AI Outputs are for informational purposes only and are not professional opinions, advice, recommendations, ratings, or guarantees of any kind.

11.2 No professional advice

TakeX is not a registered investment adviser, broker, dealer, financial institution, law firm, or professional services firm. Nothing on the Platform constitutes investment, financial, legal, tax, accounting, or other professional advice, nor a recommendation to invest or not invest in any startup, nor an endorsement of any startup, founder, or opportunity. If you require professional advice, you must consult appropriately qualified professionals.

11.3 No guarantee of results

TakeX makes no guarantee, warranty, or representation that any user will receive funding, investor interest, introductions, meetings, or investment; that any investor or evaluator will achieve any particular outcome; that assessment results will align with any user’s independent evaluation; that certification indicates investment-worthiness or the likelihood of any outcome; that introductions will result in transactions or any particular outcome; that the Platform will identify all risks, weaknesses, or issues with any startup; or that any startup will succeed. Past assessments, certifications, or introductions are not indicative of future results.

11.4 No reliance

You expressly acknowledge and agree that you will not rely solely on any AI Output, assessment, score, certification, or Platform content when making any decision; that you are solely responsible for your own due diligence and independent evaluation; that you assume all risk associated with your use of AI Outputs and Platform information; and that TakeX bears no responsibility for decisions you make based on Platform content.

12. Liability

Each party’s liability to the other under or in connection with these terms is limited as set out in this section.

12.1 Liabilities neither party excludes

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes either party’s liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

12.2 Losses neither party is liable for

Subject to Exceptions to the cap below, neither party will be liable to the other, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any: (a) loss of profits, sales, business, revenue, or anticipated savings; (b) loss of business opportunity, goodwill, or reputation; (c) business interruption; (d) loss of or damage to data; or (e) indirect, special, consequential, or punitive loss or damage.

In addition, TakeX will not be liable for loss arising from your reliance on any AI Output, assessment, certification, or other Platform content, or any decision (including any investment, business, or fundraising decision) made on the basis of Platform content, or any introduction or failure to obtain an introduction.

12.3 Aggregate cap

Subject to Exceptions to the cap below, each party’s total aggregate liability to the other for all claims arising out of or in connection with these terms is limited to the total amount paid by you to TakeX for the specific product or service giving rise to the claim in the twelve (12) months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim.

12.4 Exceptions to the cap

The aggregate cap does not apply to liability arising from:

  • A party’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct (including in relation to Security and use of Your Content or the obligation to protect TakeX’s non-public information);
  • Breach of Our intellectual property;
  • Breach of No text or data mining, web scraping, or AI training on outputs;
  • Breach of Prohibited conduct;
  • Breach of Compliance with laws;
  • Breach of the warranties regarding Your Content or your status as a business user;
  • Any obligation to pay fees, charges, or other amounts owed to TakeX under these terms;
  • The indemnities given under these terms.

12.5 Enterprise and negotiated agreements

Where TakeX enters into a separate enterprise, master services, or other individually negotiated agreement with a Customer, the liability, indemnity, and dispute resolution provisions of that agreement apply in place of the corresponding provisions of these terms to the extent of any conflict.

12.6 Essential basis of the bargain

The parties acknowledge that the limitations and exclusions in this section reflect the allocation of risk agreed between them, form an essential basis of the agreement, and that TakeX has set its prices in reliance on them.

13. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TakeX and its officers, directors, employees, agents, group companies, and licensors, on a full indemnity basis, from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or in connection with:

  • Your use of the Platform;

  • Your Content, including any content you upload relating to a third party;
  • Any decisions you make on the basis of AI Outputs or Platform content;
  • Any breach of the warranties or representations you make in these terms.

14. How we use your personal information

We use personal data only as set out in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these terms by reference.

15. Term and termination

These terms apply for as long as you use the Platform.

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting contact@takex.ai.

We may, in our sole discretion, suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, if we consider that you have breached these terms, that you no longer meet the eligibility criteria, or that suspension or termination is necessary to protect the Platform, other users, or TakeX.

On termination, your right to use the Platform ends. The following sections survive termination: Your content (clause 7), Security and use of Your Content (clause 8), Our intellectual property (clause 9), AI outputs and disclaimers (clause 11), Liability (clause 12), Indemnity (clause 13), and any other provision that by its nature should survive.

What happens to Your Content and outputs after termination. Following termination of your account:

  • Outputs we have already generated and provided to you (such as reports, certificates, and assessments) remain subject to the licence granted to you under clause 9.1, and you may continue to use them in accordance with these terms;
  • Any certification or credential previously granted may, in our sole discretion, be revoked, suspended, or maintained, in accordance with clause 9.2;
  • We will retain or delete Your Content and account data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and any applicable legal or regulatory retention obligations. Where we are required by law to retain data for a defined period, we will do so for that period only.

16. Force majeure

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these terms where it results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, internet or telecommunications failures, power outages, cyberattacks, pandemics, industrial action, or any other event or circumstance beyond our reasonable control (whether similar to the above or not). Our obligations are suspended during such an event and we will use reasonable efforts to resume normal operations as soon as practicable.

17. Governing law and disputes

These Terms of Use, their subject matter and formation (including any non-contractual disputes or claims), are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

You and TakeX agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales to resolve any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these terms.

Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights or prevent unauthorised access to or misuse of the Platform.

18. General

Entire agreement. These terms (together with the documents referred to in them) constitute the entire agreement between you and TakeX in relation to the Platform and supersede any prior agreements on the same subject matter.

Severability. If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.

Waiver. A failure or delay by us to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.

No assignment by you. You may not assign, transfer, or sub-contract your rights or obligations under these terms without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer ours as set out in Transfer of this agreement.

No third-party rights. A person who is not a party to these terms has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any of their provisions, except that any TakeX group company may enforce any provision intended to benefit it.

Notices. Notices to TakeX should be sent to contact@takex.ai. Notices to you may be sent to the email associated with your account or posted on the Platform.
