Terms of Service

The agreement between you and DealLift: what the service does, what it does not promise, and what each of us is responsible for.

Last updated 31 July 2026

Read this first. These terms are a plain-English template written to match how DealLift actually works today. They have not been reviewed by a lawyer, and the highlighted blanks below — including the governing law — still need to be filled in by the operator. If you run DealLift, have counsel review this document before scaling beyond early users.

The short version

  • DealLift reads a brand offer you give it, prices the rights the brand is asking for, and drafts a counteroffer. It is a tool, not your agent, manager, or lawyer.
  • Every number it produces is an estimate from our own configurable multipliers — not market data, and not a promise about what you will be paid.
  • Nothing is emailed to a brand until you approve the exact wording. What you approve is what goes out, and you are responsible for it.
  • The fee model is uplift-only: a share of additional value negotiated above your original offer, never a cut of the original offer. Billing is not implemented, so no fee is charged today.
  • Only submit offers that were sent to you, and only submit what you are allowed to share.

What DealLift does

You give DealLift a brand offer — pasted into the form, or forwarded to the private address we generate for your account. DealLift then:

  • works out whether it is a real sponsorship offer at all, and stops if it is not;
  • extracts the deliverables, usage rights, exclusivity, revisions, timelines, and payment terms it can find in the text;
  • estimates what the uncompensated parts are worth, and flags the terms that deserve a human look — perpetual rights, AI likeness and voice rights, unclear exclusivity;
  • drafts a counteroffer email for you to read, edit, and approve;
  • sends that email — after your approval — from a DealLift address, with you CC'd and replies routed back to your private address so the negotiation continues in your dashboard.

Because the message goes from a DealLift address and says so in the body, the brand will know you are using a negotiation tool.

Estimates are not guarantees

The values DealLift shows you are produced two ways, and neither is a market quote:

  • Heuristics we set ourselves. Usage rights, exclusivity windows, whitelisting, raw footage, rush delivery, and extra revisions are priced with configurable multipliers of the base creation fee. These are our transparent rules of thumb, not survey data, not a rate card, and not scraped from real deals.
  • An AI model reading your email. Extraction and analysis run on a language model. It can misread a clause, miss a term entirely, or misjudge scope — especially when the offer is vague, unusual, or written in a language or format it handles poorly.

We do not guarantee that using DealLift will increase your compensation, that a brand will respond, that a brand will not withdraw an offer, or that any figure shown to you reflects what the market would actually pay.

Ranges are shown as ranges on purpose. Read the original offer yourself, check the extracted terms against it, and use your own judgment before you approve anything.

Your approval, your responsibility

DealLift never sends a message to a brand on its own. Every outbound negotiation email requires your explicit approval of the exact subject and body, and the system verifies that: at approval we fingerprint the text, and before sending we re-check that the draft is still approved, still unsent, and still matches that fingerprint. Any mismatch aborts the send and flags the deal.

Once you approve a message, you are responsible for its contents — the commitments it makes, the numbers it quotes, and the tone it takes.

Read drafts before approving them, and edit anything that is wrong. A sent email cannot be recalled. DealLift is not a party to any agreement you reach with a brand: the deal is between you and them, and accepting, rejecting, or walking away is entirely your decision.

Acceptable use

Using DealLift, you agree that you will:

  • Only submit offers you received.Do not submit someone else's correspondence, forged emails, or messages you obtained without permission.
  • Only submit what you are allowed to share. If an offer is covered by an NDA or a confidentiality clause, deciding whether to submit it is your call and your risk. See the Privacy Policy for where submitted content goes.
  • Not automate or abuse the service.No scripted or bulk submissions, no scraping, no attempts to work around the rate limits on the free analysis endpoint, and no using the endpoint to run someone else's workload. Limits exist because every analysis costs us model usage, and we may change them at any time.
  • Not attack the service.No attempting to read other people's data, bypass access controls, guess analysis tokens, probe for vulnerabilities without permission, or interfere with availability.
  • Not use DealLift for anything unlawful, deceptive, harassing, or designed to defraud a brand.
  • Not resell or re-expose the service — no reselling analyses as your own product, and no using outputs to build a competing model or dataset.

We may rate-limit, suspend, or terminate accounts that break these rules, and we may refuse to process a specific submission.

Fees — uplift only

Billing is not implemented yet. DealLift does not collect a payment method and does not charge any fee today.

The fee model we intend to run, and describe on our marketing pages:

  • The fee is a percentage of the additional value negotiated above the offer you started with. The rate published on our pricing section today is 20% of that additional value. OPERATOR: confirm the rate before charging
  • It is never a cut of your original offer. Whatever the brand already put on the table is yours, fee-free.
  • If nothing improves, you owe nothing. No retainer, no subscription, no exclusivity, no minimum.

Before any fee is ever charged we will publish the exact rate, how “additional value” is measured (including how non-cash terms are treated), when an invoice is raised, and what happens if a deal falls through after it is agreed — and we will ask for your agreement to those terms. Continuing to use a free product never creates a payment obligation.

To be completed before billing goes live: the fee rate; precisely how additional value is calculated and evidenced; the treatment of non-cash uplift such as reduced exclusivity or removed perpetual rights; invoicing and payment timing; refunds and disputes; and what happens if a brand does not pay you. [BILLING TERMS — TODO]

Your content

The offers you submit and everything you write stay yours. You give us the limited permission we need to run the service: to store your content, send it to the processors listed in the Privacy Policy, analyze it, and generate drafts from it — and nothing beyond that.

We do not train models on your data. Your offer text is processed by Anthropic's API under Anthropic's commercial terms; we have no separate arrangement that changes them.

Accounts and eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, and able to enter contracts on your own behalf. OPERATOR: confirm the minimum ageKeep your login details secure and your account email accurate — negotiation messages are CC'd to it. One person per account; do not share access.

Availability and changes

DealLift is an early-stage product. Features can change, be added, or be removed, and parts of the interface describe behavior that is not finished yet — the export and delete buttons in Settings and the billing flow are the current examples.

The service depends on Supabase, Anthropic, Resend, Inngest, and our host. When one of them is down or rate-limits us, analyses can be delayed or fail. We do not offer an uptime commitment or a service level agreement.

No warranty

DealLift is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied — including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted operation.

We do not warrant that the analysis is correct or complete, that negotiation drafts are appropriate for your situation, or that any outcome will improve.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent the law allows, DealLift and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost deals, lost revenue, lost data, or reputational harm — including where a negotiation fails, an offer is withdrawn, an estimate is wrong, or a message is delayed or not delivered.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the greater of the fees you actually paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or [CAP AMOUNT — e.g. USD 100]. Since no fees are charged today, that first figure is currently zero.

Nothing here excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded, such as liability for fraud.

What you are responsible for

You are responsible for the content you submit and the messages you approve. If a third party brings a claim against us because you submitted material you had no right to share — for example an offer covered by an NDA — or because of a message you approved, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of dealing with that claim.

Counsel to confirm: the scope of this indemnity, whether it is appropriate for a consumer-facing product in the operating jurisdiction, and whether it needs to be mutual.

Termination

You can stop using DealLift at any time. There is no contract term, no notice period, and no exit fee. To delete your account and its contents, email privacy@deallift.com from your account address.

We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these terms, if we are required to by law, or if continuing to serve an account would put other users or the service at risk. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will tell you first and give you a chance to retrieve your data.

Ending your account does not unsend messages that already went out, and does not affect an agreement you have already made with a brand.

Governing law and disputes

TODO — the operator must complete this clause. These terms currently name no governing law and no forum for disputes. Before launch, counsel must specify: the governing law [GOVERNING LAW — JURISDICTION]; the courts or arbitration forum that hears disputes [VENUE / DISPUTE RESOLUTION]; and whether consumer-protection rules in the places your users live override that choice. Do not ship this page with this clause unfilled.

Changes to these terms

We will update the “last updated” date at the top when these terms change, and we will email account holders before a change that materially affects your rights or introduces a fee takes effect. If you do not agree to a change, stop using the service and ask us to delete your account.

Contact and entity

DealLift is operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], of [BUSINESS ADDRESS]. Questions about these terms: legal@deallift.com. Privacy and data requests: privacy@deallift.com. Both addresses are placeholders and must be replaced with monitored inboxes before launch.
