Terms for using Pastlight.
These terms govern access to the invite-only Pastlight private pilot unless a participating organization and Pastlight agree to different written terms.
Authorized pilot access.
By accessing or using the pilot, you agree to these terms and represent that you are authorized to act for the organization associated with your workspace. If you use Pastlight for an employer, fund, sponsor, advisor, or other entity, “you” includes that entity where applicable.
The pilot is intended for a limited group of manually provisioned diligence professionals. Credentials and magic links must not be shared. You are responsible for actions taken through your account and for promptly reporting suspected unauthorized access.
You retain responsibility for what you provide.
You represent that you have the rights and authority needed to upload, paste, direct Pastlight to process, and share the submitted materials and target domains. You grant Pastlight and its service providers the limited permission needed to process that material to operate, secure, support, and evaluate the pilot.
Do not submit material in violation of an NDA, law, court order, contractual restriction, or third-party right. Avoid personal data and regulated information that are unnecessary for the review. You remain responsible for your source documents, backup obligations, and the people you authorize within your organization.
Evidence assistance is not a professional conclusion.
Pastlight helps organize claims, dated public records, changes, citations, and suggested diligence questions. Results may be incomplete, inaccurate, unavailable, or open to multiple interpretations. Archive capture times may differ from publication times, and absent evidence is not proof of absence.
You are responsible for reviewing sources, obtaining primary evidence, validating management responses, and deciding whether a finding is appropriate for an investment memo or other use. Pastlight does not provide investment, legal, accounting, tax, compliance, or investigative advice and does not determine objective truth, fraud, deception, or liability.
Use the service lawfully and proportionately.
You may not use Pastlight to violate law or third-party rights; bypass access controls; introduce malicious code; interfere with service operation; probe another organization’s data; scrape the application; resell access without permission; or present automated output as a verified accusation.
Historical research must concern organizations and sources you are authorized to investigate for a legitimate purpose. Pastlight may suspend access needed to protect users, providers, the service, or third parties.
Availability and changes.
The pilot may change, pause, fail, or end. Features, providers, limits, and retention controls may evolve as the product is tested. Pastlight does not promise that every domain, page, archive capture, document, or model request will be available or successfully processed.
Unless a written agreement says otherwise, the pilot is provided on an “as available” basis without warranties of uninterrupted operation, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement to the extent permitted by law.
Limitations and termination.
To the extent permitted by law and absent different written terms, Pastlight will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, deal value, data, goodwill, or business opportunity arising from pilot use. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so these limits apply only to the extent enforceable.
You may stop using the pilot and request deletion. Pastlight may terminate or suspend pilot access, including for misuse or security risk. Provisions that logically survive termination—including responsibility for submitted material, disclaimers, and limitations—continue to apply.
