Acceptance
By using Sesamers you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site. Separate contracts apply when you buy event services, advertising, or Club membership - those terms prevail for that purchase.
Privacy policy explains how we handle personal data.
The site
Sesamers publishes news, analysis, directories and tools about European startups and the events around them. Editorial content is for information. It is not investment advice, legal advice or a solicitation to buy or sell securities.
We aim for accuracy and correct material errors when we find them. Databases and rankings change as new data arrives; they are not a warranty of completeness.
Accounts
- You must provide accurate information and keep login credentials secure.
- You are responsible for activity under your account.
- We may suspend or close accounts that abuse the service, impersonate others, or scrape the site in ways that harm performance or other users.
- Claimed organisation profiles must be submitted by someone authorised to represent that organisation.
Content & intellectual property
Sesamers and its licensors own the site design, branding, software and original editorial content unless otherwise labelled. You may link to our pages and quote briefly with attribution. You may not republish full articles, scrape the database for a competing product, or remove sponsorship / format labels.
User submissions (comments where enabled, tip emails, contributed pieces we accept) must be lawful and non-infringing. You grant us a licence to use accepted contributions as agreed when we commission or publish them.
Commercial products
Advertising, Startup Village, booth sales, Investor Day, competitions and similar products are sold under separate proposals or order forms. Sponsored content is labelled. Editorial and commercial calendars are kept separate - see our editorial standards.
The Investment Club has its own membership terms, fees and eligibility rules presented during application.
Conduct
Do not use the site to harass, defraud, distribute malware, attempt unauthorised access, or overload our infrastructure. Automated access is only allowed via our published APIs or feeds under their documented rate limits and attribution rules.
Liability
The site is provided as available. To the fullest extent permitted by law we exclude liability for indirect or consequential loss, and for decisions you make based on coverage or directory data. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under French law (including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud).
Governing law
These terms are governed by French law. Courts of Paris have jurisdiction, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live.
