  2. Permitted Purpose. Recipient may use Confidential Information solely to evaluate a potential investment or commercial relationship with AOS (the “Purpose”). No other use is permitted.
  3. Non-Disclosure and No Sharing. Recipient will not disclose, copy, or distribute Confidential Information to any third party, except to Recipient’s employees, partners, or professional advisors who need to know for the Purpose, are informed of these Terms, and are bound by obligations no less protective. Recipient remains responsible for any breach by such persons.
  4. No Offer, No Advice and No Reliance. Confidential Information is informational, subject to change, and may be preliminary or unaudited. It is not an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any security and does not constitute investment, legal, accounting, or tax advice. Recipient should conduct independent diligence. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
  5. Handling & Security. Recipient will protect the Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, and no less than a reasonable standard of care. No removal of watermarks or access controls.
  6. Compelled Disclosure. If Recipient is required by law, regulation, or court/administrative order to disclose Confidential Information, Recipient may do so after providing prompt written notice to AOS (to the extent legally permitted) so that AOS may seek protective treatment. Recipient will disclose only the portion required and will use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment.
  7. Return/Destruction. Upon AOS' request, Recipient will promptly cease using and either destroy or return Confidential Information (including copies, notes, and extracts). Recipient may retain one archival copy as required by law or compliance policy, which remains subject to these Terms.
  8. No License and Ownership. All rights in the Confidential Information remain with AOS. No license or other rights are granted by disclosure, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.
  9. Feedback. Any suggestions or feedback provided by Recipient are non-confidential and may be used by AOS without restriction or attribution.
  10. Monitoring & Revocation. Recipient consents to AOS’s use of access controls and activity logs (e.g., DocSend analytics). AOS may revoke or modify access at any time in its sole discretion.
  11. Eligibility & Sanctions. Recipient represents it is legally permitted to receive private-placement materials in its jurisdiction and is not subject to applicable sanctions or prohibited-party restrictions.
  12. Personal Data & Privacy. AOS may process personal data provided in connection with the Purpose (contact details, role, firm, jurisdiction, and access logs) in accordance with its Privacy Notice, including secure cross-border transfers and retention consistent with compliance requirements. For EEA/UK data subjects, AOS relies on legitimate interests (pre-contract evaluation) and may use appropriate safeguards for international transfers. Contact: privacy@ancoraoak.studio.
  13. Remedies. Unauthorized use or disclosure may cause irreparable harm. AOS may seek injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable remedies in addition to any legal remedies.
  14. Term and Survival. These Terms take effect upon acceptance and continue for two (2) years, except that obligations regarding trade secrets and DocSend security controls survive indefinitely to the extent permitted by law.
  15. Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada without regard to conflicts‑of‑law principles. The Parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Toronto, Ontario and waive any objection to venue or forum non conveniens.
