Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure

This agreement is between the founder filing a record and NEXUM ANALYTICS LTD, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17440513), registered office 66 Paul Street, London, EC2A 4NA, United Kingdom ("Nexum", "the house").

NDA v3 · 7 October 2026

Effective date: 20 October 2026 · Last updated: 20 October 2026

Confidentiality is structural to the house: founders file what they would not publish, analysts read it, seat-holders read what founders choose to show, and identities move only by consent. This page sets out the three undertakings that make that work. The record is read by the assigned analyst and the independent second reviewer, held under the confidentiality terms of the Privacy Policy, and published only on the founder's consent. Parts A and B form part of the Terms of Service and are governed, as the Terms are, by the law of England and Wales. Part C is a courtesy template for parties who meet through the register; it is not part of any agreement with Nexum.

Part A · The house's undertaking to founders

This is what Nexum promises about what you file.

A.1 Scope. "Filed material" means everything you submit for examination — your model, reasoning, figures, documents, and self-reported updates — and everything the examination produces about it: findings, keystone analysis, summaries, notes, and the record.

A.2 Confidential by default. Filed material is confidential between you and the house. We use it only to perform the examination, maintain your entry, and operate the register in the mode you chose. We do not sell it, license it to third parties, or use it to compete with you.

A.3 Who may see it inside the house. Analysts assigned to your case, the independent second reviewer, and staff administering the Platform — each bound by written confidentiality obligations to Nexum at least as strict as this Part. Processors (hosting, email, AI model providers) act under contracts that prohibit any use beyond our instructions; AI providers are contractually barred from training on your material. The Privacy Policy lists them.

A.4 What leaves the house, and only by your choice. Nothing is published, and no identity is revealed, except as you elect on the Platform: publication to the register in named or blind mode, openness to introductions, and — per request — acceptance that reveals your identity to one Fellow. Each election is recorded, changeable going forward, and enforced by the Platform (blind entries are served from a field allowlist that excludes identity, checked automatically).

A.5 Exceptions. We may disclose filed material where the law compels it (a court order, a regulator's lawful demand), giving you notice where we are permitted to; to our professional advisers under confidentiality; or where it has become public through no fault of ours.

A.6 Duration. This undertaking lasts while you have an entry and for as long as we retain filed material afterwards (see the Privacy Policy's retention periods).

Part B · The reader's undertaking

Every Member and Fellow accepts this Part when taking a seat. Every founder whose examination includes access to the register accepts it on first opening the register. It exists for the founders' benefit, and founders may rely on it.

B.1 What is confidential. Everything you read through your seat or your register access: register entries, findings, keystone analyses, summaries, questions and answers on the record, working-session content, and any information that would let you identify a blind entry's founder. Public entries — those a founder has chosen to make visible to anyone — are not confidential, but their examinations may be if published to readers of the register only.

B.2 What you may do. Read it. Use it to inform your own judgment. Where your seat carries them, ask questions on the record and request an introduction through the Platform. Discuss what you have read with your own advisers who are bound to keep it confidential.

B.3 What you may not do. Reproduce, share, or publish register content outside the Platform, in any form, including summaries. Scrape, export, or systematically copy the register. Contact a founder by any route other than the introduction mechanism until an introduction has been accepted. Attempt to identify a blind entry's founder by inference, search, or any other means. Use what you read to compete with, front-run, or disadvantage a founder. Trade on or otherwise exploit register information in breach of any law.

B.4 After an introduction. Once a founder has accepted your request, what passes between you is outside the Platform and outside this undertaking — except that register content itself remains confidential, and your permanent recusal from evaluating that founder's work anywhere in the house applies from that moment.

B.5 Consequences. Breach forfeits the seat or the register access without refund, may be disclosed to affected founders, and may be pursued by Nexum or the founder in law. A founder harmed by a breach of this Part may enforce it directly against you as a third-party beneficiary.

B.6 Duration. This undertaking survives the end of your seat or your register access indefinitely for anything you read while holding it.

Part C · Courtesy template — mutual NDA between introduced parties

Provided for convenience to parties who meet through the register. Nexum is not a party to it, does not administer it, and does not give legal advice; take your own advice before signing anything. Fill the bracketed fields.
