1. Who we are and these terms

Origination Vehicle (the "Service") is operated by HYKT PTE. LTD., a company incorporated in Singapore (UEN 202600265K) ("HYKT", "we", "us"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Service, including the website, the database, the analytics, and the AI connector.

By creating an account, signing in, generating an access key or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind it, and "you" includes that organisation. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. The Service

The Service is a deal-origination platform for professional users. It currently includes:

• a searchable directory of companies, investors and grant-funded organisations compiled from public and third-party sources (including the EU-Startups directory, the European Innovation Council portfolio, the European Union's CORDIS database and UK Research and Innovation / Innovate UK open data);
• market maps, sector analytics and investor-matching scores;
• a shared pipeline in which members of a workspace can save candidate companies;
• precedent-transaction tools and a deal library; and
• an AI connector that lets an AI assistant you use (for example Claude or ChatGPT) call the Service's tools on your behalf.

We may add, change, limit or remove features at any time. We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

3. Accounts and eligibility

• The Service is for business and professional use only. You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract.
• Give accurate registration details and keep them up to date. Each account is for one named individual. Do not share your login or let anyone else use your account.
• Access may require approval, a trial, or a paid subscription. We may decline, limit or withdraw access at our discretion, including to accounts that appear to be duplicates, automated or in breach of these Terms.
• You are responsible for everything done through your account and your access keys. Tell us immediately at hykt.partners@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorised use.

4. Trials, subscriptions and fees

Some or all of the Service may be offered on a free trial or paid subscription basis. Where we charge fees:

• the price, billing period, included usage and any trial length will be shown before you subscribe;
• subscriptions renew automatically for the same period unless you cancel before the renewal date; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period;
• at the end of a trial, access ends unless you subscribe;
• fees are non-refundable except where required by law or stated otherwise at purchase; and fees exclude taxes, which you are responsible for;
• we may change prices for future billing periods with at least 30 days' notice.

5. Your licence and acceptable use

Subject to these Terms and any applicable fees, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access the Service and use its content for your internal business purposes, such as identifying, researching and contacting potential targets, investors and buyers.

You must not, and must not help anyone else to:

• scrape, crawl, bulk-download, systematically copy or otherwise extract all or a substantial part of the database, whether by hand, script, bot, AI agent or any other means, or try to reconstruct it through repeated queries;
• exceed, circumvent or test the limits on the number of records or requests, for example by using multiple accounts or keys;
• sell, sublicense, publish, redistribute or provide the Service or its content to third parties, or use it to build or improve a competing product or dataset;
• share your access keys, or connect the AI connector to a tool or service used by people outside your own account;
• attempt to obtain the Service's internal instructions, research briefs, scoring logic, source code or underlying data structures other than through the normal operation of the tools, or reverse-engineer, decompile or probe the Service's security;
• use the Service for unlawful purposes, including sending unsolicited marketing in breach of applicable anti-spam or data protection laws, or contacting individuals in a way that is not relevant and proportionate to their professional role;
• upload or submit material that is unlawful, infringing, misleading or malicious.

Limited extracts (for example a shortlist of companies in a client memo or pitch) are permitted for your internal business purposes, provided you do not republish the database or a substantial part of it.

6. The AI connector

• Access keys. You can generate personal access keys to connect an AI assistant to the Service. Treat each key like a password. You can revoke a key at any time on the Precedents page, and we may revoke keys that are misused.
• Your AI provider. Your AI assistant is provided by a third party (such as Anthropic or OpenAI) under your own agreement with them. You are responsible for that agreement, for any fees it charges, and for the information you share with it. Information the Service returns to your AI assistant is processed by that provider under its terms.
• How it works. The Service provides your AI assistant with tools, research instructions and data. Web research is carried out by your AI assistant using your own account. The Service checks and formats what your assistant sends back and returns a report.
• What we keep. We log usage (which tool, when, request parameters such as the sector searched) to run the Service, enforce limits and prevent abuse. Precedent-transaction results that members submit through the connector are processed to produce your report and are not added to our deal library.
• Limits. Each request returns a limited number of records (currently up to 15) and daily allowances apply. We may change these limits.
• AI output. AI-generated content can be inaccurate or incomplete, including figures your assistant finds on the web. Section 7 applies to all such output.

7. Information only — no advice

• Data comes from public registers, third-party websites and AI-assisted research. It may be incomplete, out of date, wrongly matched between sources, or wrong. Sector tags, matches between lists, consultancy flags, investor-fit scores and confidence ratings are automated estimates.
• Transaction multiples are recomputed from disclosed figures where available, may rely on figures stated by third parties, and use approximate exchange rates.
• You must verify any information independently before relying on it, and you are solely responsible for your decisions and for how you use the information, including any outreach to companies or individuals.

8. Third-party sources and attributions

Parts of the database are derived from third-party and public-sector sources, each of which remains subject to its own terms. In particular:

• EU research and innovation project data: © European Union, CORDIS — reused under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0). The data has been processed and combined with other sources.
• Innovate UK grant data: contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
• European Innovation Council portfolio information: © European Union, reused in accordance with the European Commission's reuse policy.
• Company and investor directory information from EU-Startups and other publicly available sources.

Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for their content or availability. None of these sources endorses the Service.

9. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, compilation, selection, arrangement, enrichment and scoring of data, research instructions and reports, is owned by HYKT or its licensors and protected by copyright, database and other rights. Except for the licence in Section 5, no rights are granted to you. If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without obligation to you.

You keep any rights you have in content you add to the Service (such as pipeline notes). You grant us a licence to host and process that content to provide the Service to you and your workspace.

10. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and ask us to close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, or revoke access keys, immediately and without liability if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service, other users or third parties. Sections 5 (restrictions), 7, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 15 survive termination.

11. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service and all content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• HYKT is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill or data, arising out of or in connection with the Service, even if advised of the possibility;
• HYKT's total liability arising out of or in connection with the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the fees you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim and (b) SGD 100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, such as liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

13. Indemnity

You will indemnify HYKT against claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or your use of information obtained through the Service, including any outreach you make to companies or individuals.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and change the "last updated" date. For material changes we will give reasonable notice, for example by email or in the Service. Continuing to use the Service after the changes take effect means you accept them.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or the Service are governed by the laws of Singapore. The courts of Singapore have exclusive jurisdiction, except that we may seek urgent injunctive relief in any competent court.

16. General

If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganisation, merger or sale of the business. These Terms, together with any order or subscription terms shown at purchase and our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how HYKT PTE. LTD. (UEN 202600265K, Singapore) ("HYKT", "we", "us") collects and uses personal data in connection with Origination Vehicle (the "Service"). We are the organisation responsible for (the "controller" of) that personal data. We comply with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) and, where they apply, the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

Questions or requests: hykt.partners@gmail.com (please mark the subject "Data protection").

2. Whose data this covers

• Users — people who register for, sign in to or use the Service, including through the AI connector.
• People who appear in the database — mainly professional contact information of individuals linked to investors and companies (see Section 4).

3. Data we collect about users

Deal data that members submit through the AI connector is processed only to generate their report and is not stored in our deal library. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

4. People who appear in the database

The database focuses on companies, investors and grants. It can include personal data such as the names of individuals associated with a company or fund, and professional contact details (for example a work email address published by an investment firm). This information is collected from publicly available sources, including company and investor websites, the EU-Startups directory, the European Innovation Council portfolio, EU CORDIS open data and UK Research and Innovation open data.

• Purpose: to help professional users identify and contact relevant companies and investors about potential investment, financing and M&A opportunities.
• Legal basis (GDPR): our legitimate interests and those of our users in business-to-business deal origination, which we balance against your interests by limiting the data to professional information, restricting access (for example, investor contact emails are not shown to ordinary members), capping how many records can be viewed, and honouring objections. Under the PDPA, business contact information is largely outside the scope of the Act; where it is not, we rely on the applicable exceptions for publicly available data.
• Your choices: you can ask us to correct or remove information about you, or object to its use, at any time — see Section 9. We will act on valid requests promptly.

5. Legal bases (EU / UK users)

• Contract — to provide the Service you signed up for.
• Legitimate interests — to secure and improve the Service, prevent abuse, and operate the company database as described above.
• Legal obligation — to keep records required by law (for example tax records for paid subscriptions).
• Consent — where we ask for it, for example for optional marketing emails. You can withdraw consent at any time.

6. Who we share data with

We do not sell personal data. We share it only with:

• Service providers who process it on our behalf under contract: Supabase (database, authentication and server functions — data hosted in the Singapore region), Cloudflare (website hosting and delivery), the email service used to send account emails, and, when subscriptions are introduced, our payment provider (e.g. Stripe).
• Your AI provider — when you connect an AI assistant, the tool requests it makes and the results we return pass through that provider, under your agreement with it.
• Other members of your workspace — content in the shared pipeline is visible to them.
• Authorities and advisers — where required by law, to enforce our Terms, or to protect rights and safety; and professional advisers under confidentiality.
• A buyer or successor — if our business is reorganised, merged or sold, subject to this Policy.

7. International transfers

We are based in Singapore and our main database is hosted in Singapore. Our providers may process data in other countries. Where personal data of people in the EU or UK is transferred outside those regions, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK addendum) offered by our providers, and we require comparable protection to the PDPA for transfers out of Singapore.

8. How long we keep data

• Account data: while your account is active, and deleted within 90 days after closure, unless we must keep it longer by law or to resolve a dispute.
• Usage and connector logs: up to 24 months.
• Access-key records: until you revoke the key or your account is closed.
• Billing records: as long as required by tax and accounting law (generally 5–7 years).
• Database records about individuals: while the information remains relevant and publicly available, and removed promptly on a valid request.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you and receive a copy;
• have inaccurate data corrected;
• have data deleted, or its use restricted;
• object to processing based on legitimate interests, including the use of your details in the database;
• data portability, for data you provided to us;
• withdraw consent where we rely on it.

Email hykt.partners@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity. We aim to respond within 30 days. You can also complain to a regulator — in Singapore, the Personal Data Protection Commission; in the EU, your local data protection authority; in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office — although we would welcome the chance to address your concern first.

10. Security

We use measures appropriate to the risk, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords and access keys, row-level access controls in the database, per-user viewing limits, and restricting sensitive fields to authorised staff. No system is completely secure; if we become aware of a breach affecting your personal data we will notify you and the authorities where required.

11. Children

The Service is for professionals and is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Policy. We will post the new version here and change the "last updated" date, and for material changes we will give notice by email or in the Service.
