These Terms of Service set out the rules for electronic services provided by Foundersi via foundersi.pl and the Foundersi mobile application (together: the “Service”). Using the Service means you have read and accepted these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

These Terms are available free of charge at foundersi.pl/terms before the contract is formed. You may save or print this page (for example as a PDF) to keep a copy.

Version 2026-09

The service provider (electronic services provider) is:

• Name: Foundersi Sp. z o.o. (in the process of being formed), Poland
• Form: a Polish limited company (sp. z o.o.) in formation. Entry in the KRS and tax IDs (NIP, REGON) are pending.
• Registered address: Poland
• NIP and KRS: pending registration - contact: kontakt@foundersi.pl
• Contact for the Service, complaints and the DSA point of contact: kontakt@foundersi.pl
• Child safety and reports of sexual exploitation of a child: dev@foundersi.pl

When the company is registered in the KRS it will become the service provider in place of the entity in formation. We will update these Terms and notify users who have an account.

Foundersi is a business-networking platform for adults. It lets you present a profile, browse other users’ profiles and get in touch to collaborate, co-found a venture or pursue other business relationships. Foundersi is not for private, social or dating relationships.

• The foundersi.pl website: information about the Service, the blog, the waitlist form, legal documents and support pages (including account deletion at foundersi.pl/delete-account).
• Website waitlist: you may submit your name, email, phone number and preferred platform (iOS or Android) so we can tell you when the app is available.
• Public documents: these Terms, the Website Privacy Policy (/privacy) and the App Privacy Policy (/privacy/app).
• The Foundersi mobile app (iOS and Android): account, profile, photo, roles and intent, profile feed, likes, matches, messages, blocks, reports, push notifications, news and events.
• Showing profiles and helping users with a similar business intent get in touch. Feed order comes from distance, filters and a match score - Foundersi does not hand-pick your counterpart.
• News: metadata from public third-party RSS feeds (headline, excerpt, link, date, source) and Foundersi’s own editorial content. Full articles are read on the publisher’s site.
• Business events shown in the App, including on a map on Android. Foundersi is not the organiser of third-party events unless we say so expressly.
• Optional device location or a chosen city, used to show an approximate distance in kilometres. Other users do not see your address or coordinates.
• User content: your profile (name, bio, photo, role, intent, links), messages, reports and other material you publish.
• The Service is informational and communicative. Foundersi does not broker contracts between users and is not a party to such contracts.
• Foundersi is not: a dating service, an employment agency, an investment intermediary, a crowdfunding platform, a legal, tax or investment adviser, the organiser of your offline meetings, or a party to NDAs, company agreements, loans or share transfers.

The Service, including the App, is currently entirely free. We do not sell subscriptions or in-app purchases. Usage limits (for example a daily like cap) may exist to prevent abuse and do not mean paid access. If we later introduce paid features, we will update these Terms in advance and we will not charge you retrospectively.

To use the Service you need:

• An Internet connection.
• A current web browser with JavaScript and essential cookies enabled.
• iOS app: a compatible Apple device and the iOS version required by the App Store.
• Android app: a compatible device and the Android version required by Google Play.
• To create an App account: a mobile number that can receive an SMS code.
• For matching, chat, reports and blocks: an active user account.

The contract for electronic services is formed when you accept these Terms and create an account (or, for public website content, when you start using the website). The contract is for an indefinite term.

• The Service is only for people aged 18 or over. By creating an account you confirm that you are at least 18. We do not provide the Service to minors.
• You provide true and up-to-date profile information. You must not create a profile of another person, a fictitious company or a non-existent investor.
• Phone verification (SMS) confirms access to that number. It is not verification of your name, company, role, wealth, authority to represent a company, or identity in a KYC sense.
• Google, Apple or LinkedIn sign-in is used to create and authenticate your account. It does not confirm that your business profile, job title or company is genuine.
• One person may have one account unless we agree otherwise in writing (email).
• You may terminate the contract at any time by deleting your account in the App (Profile → Settings → Delete account) or by emailing kontakt@foundersi.pl.
• You may also request deletion at foundersi.pl/delete-account.
• We may restrict, suspend or delete an account for breach of these Terms, the law or the legitimate safety of other users, including after repeated reports. We will notify you unless the law or safety requires otherwise.
• After account deletion you lose access to your profile, matches and correspondence in the Service. A copy of messages you sent may remain with the recipient in their conversation. We process personal data thereafter only as described in the App Privacy Policy.

You agree to use the Service in accordance with the law, good practice and these Terms. We have no tolerance for objectionable content, harassment or abuse. In particular you must not:

• Provide unlawful content (including threats, fraud, hate speech, sexual content involving minors, child sexual abuse material, or infringement of personality rights or copyright).
• Use the Service for private, social or sexual relationships, or for harassment, stalking or intimidation.
• Give false profile information, spam, run bots or automated mass actions.
• Impersonate another person, company, fund, investor, institution or Foundersi.
• Solicit money, data, code, equity or confidential information by deceit; make fake investment, job or partnership offers.
• Publish someone else’s trade secrets, third-party personal data or content you have no right to share.
• Breach Service security, gain unauthorised access, scrape profiles or messages, or circumvent limits.
• Act in a way that harms other users, minors or Foundersi’s reputation.

In short: Foundersi does not check who the other person really is. Meetings, contracts and money are solely at your own risk.

Under Article 6 of the Polish Act on Providing Services by Electronic Means we inform you of specific risks of the Service. Foundersi connects people who may not know each other. Other users may give false information, impersonate someone else, act in bad faith or break the law. Foundersi does not verify identity, skills, criminal history, financial standing or authority to represent a company.

• Identity. A phone number, photo, name, logo, company name or a Google/Apple/LinkedIn account does not mean someone is who they claim to be. Check independently before you trust them (KRS, a meeting in a public place, references).
• Offline meetings. Foundersi does not organise, supervise or insure meetings. You meet at your own risk. Do not meet in a private home with someone you do not know. Foundersi is not liable for personal injury, theft, assault, threats or other acts of other users - to the extent the law allows.
• Contracts between users. Co-founding, equity, NDAs, contractor agreements, investments and loans are made off-Service, in your own name. Foundersi is not a party, agent or guarantor of performance.
• Money and fraud. Do not send deposits, cryptocurrency or bank access to people you met in the App until you have verified them independently. Foundersi does not hold your funds and does not settle transactions between users.
• Ideas and secrets. Profile and chat are not a confidential channel as against Foundersi or the other party. Do not paste source code, a secret pitch deck or client data if you do not want to disclose it. You bear the risk of leakage.
• Third-party content and links. News articles, event pages, other people’s profiles and messages may lead outside Foundersi. We are not responsible for the content, safety or privacy practices of those sites.
• The feed is not a recommendation. Showing a profile, a high position or a match does not mean Foundersi has assessed that person as trustworthy, skilled or safe.

Foundersi helps people make business contacts. We do not pick a co-founder for you, we do not score “fit” beyond automatic filter scoring, and we do not guarantee that anyone will reply, meet you or keep a promise.

• We do not verify skills, intent, history, education, investment track record or the accuracy of profile information.
• We are not an intermediary to civil-law contracts between users, an employment agency or a crowdfunding platform.
• Before you collaborate, disclose IP or send money, carry out your own due diligence, including with a lawyer where appropriate.
• Card order in the feed: first approximate distance (when location is available), then match to your filters, then a score from profile fields. Details may change to limit abuse and improve usefulness.

You are responsible for content you publish in your profile and messages. Foundersi provides a hosting service under the Digital Services Act (DSA): we store information at your request and show profiles to other users. We apply the restrictions below diligently, objectively and proportionately, with due regard to fundamental rights, including freedom of expression.

• We are not liable for other users’ content unless we obtain actual knowledge of it and fail to act as required by law (DSA).
• We have no tolerance for objectionable content, harassment, threats, fraud, impersonation or child sexual abuse material. We remove such content and may close the account.
• Report content or a user in the App (report function) or by email to kontakt@foundersi.pl. You may also block a user in the App so they cannot contact you in the Service.
• In a report state: where the content is (profile, message, news), the reason (illegal or against these Terms), a short description and, where possible, the user identifier. This is the notice-and-action mechanism in Article 16 DSA.
• We acknowledge reports without undue delay. We review them within a reasonable time; manifestly illegal or safety-critical content is treated as a priority.
• Tools: user reports, blocks, limits (including likes), automated filters at the point of posting (rejected text is not delivered; you may edit and retry) and human review in the admin panel. We do not use automated decision-making within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR that would produce legal effects concerning you beyond those filters and abuse limits.
• Possible actions: remove or hide content, warning, account suspension (e.g. 7 days), permanent closure, blocking contact, reducing feed reach.
• We will inform you of a restriction of content or account, with reasons (type of action, facts, basis: law or these Terms), unless the law, an authority or safety requires otherwise - Article 17 DSA.
• You may appeal a moderation decision by emailing kontakt@foundersi.pl within 14 days (internal complaint-handling, Article 20 DSA where it applies). We will review appeals free of charge, in good faith, usually within 14 days, and where possible with a person who did not take the original decision.
• We have no general obligation to monitor all user content. The absence of a report does not mean the content is lawful or permitted by these Terms.

Rights in the website, App, the Foundersi name, layout, code and materials we publish belong to the provider or its licensors. You may not copy or use them beyond using the Service, except as mandatory law allows (e.g. permitted use / fair dealing).

We aim to keep the Service available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, a number of matches or the absence of bugs. There may be maintenance windows, limits (including daily like caps), notification delays and dependence on the Apple and Google stores and cloud providers. An outage or a lack of matches is not a lack of conformity of the free Service that would give a right to damages for lost business opportunity.

A consumer and any other user may stop using the free Service at any time by deleting the account - without giving a reason and at no cost. The effect is that we stop providing the Service to you. We do not currently provide a paid digital service, so the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for paid digital content does not apply. This does not limit rights that cannot be excluded (statutory conformity of the service with the contract, where it applies).

Complaints about the Service should be emailed to kontakt@foundersi.pl.

• Include your contact details, a description of the issue and, if possible, the date and the account concerned.
• We will reply within 14 days of receiving the complaint.
• Consumers retain the rights under the Polish Consumer Rights Act and the Act on Providing Services by Electronic Means. These Terms do not exclude those rights.

We provide the Service with due care. We do not guarantee business outcomes, a number of matches, that profiles are true, or that anyone will enter into a collaboration with you.

Processing of personal data is described in two separate notices: the website Privacy Policy (foundersi.pl, path /privacy) and the App Privacy Policy (foundersi.pl, path /privacy/app). Accepting these Terms does not replace the information and consents required by data-protection law.

We may change these Terms for valid reasons stated in advance: a change of law or case-law, a change of Service scope, security, correction of an obvious error, or a change of provider details (for example KRS registration). We publish the new version at foundersi.pl/terms with a new date. If a change materially affects your rights, we will email the address linked to your account at least 14 days before the changes take effect. If you do not agree, delete your account before the effective date - the contract then ends. If you do not delete the account by that date, the new version binds you from that day, unless mandatory law requires a separate consent.

These Terms are governed by Polish law. This does not deprive a consumer of the protection granted by the mandatory provisions of the country of their habitual residence.

We aim to resolve disputes amicably. A consumer may, among other things:

• lodge a complaint at kontakt@foundersi.pl,
• use out-of-court consumer dispute resolution (including the Trade Inspection and a permanent consumer arbitration court),
• use the European Commission’s ODR platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr,
• bring a claim before a common court - a consumer may also sue in the court of their place of residence.

We are not liable for non-performance or delay caused by circumstances reasonably beyond our control (including infrastructure failures of our providers, acts of authorities, natural disasters), to the extent the law allows. Towards consumers this does not exclude liability that cannot be excluded.

If any provision of these Terms is invalid, the remaining provisions stay in force. The invalid provision is replaced by the applicable law. Matters not covered are governed by Polish law, including the Act on Providing Services by Electronic Means, the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) and - for consumers - the Consumer Rights Act.
