These terms govern the use of AlignedIn. They will be reviewed by counsel before launch and will name the operating company. By creating an account you agree to them and to the privacy notice and the no‑show policy.
What AlignedIn is
A business network where members declare what they are here to do, open a diary for 30‑minute video calls, and connect only after they have spoken. We are not a party to any agreement you reach with another member; we record what you both log and charge commission as set out below.
Your account
- One person, one account, used in your own name with a work email you control. You may act in selling and buying mode under the same identity.
- What you declare — intents, offerings, secret sauce, Need cards — must be true and yours to declare. Company facts marked as self‑reported are your responsibility.
- No unsolicited prospecting, no feed, no advertising. Requests are made against a declared intent or a published need; messaging exists only between people who have spoken, with the seller limited to two unanswered messages in a row.
Calls and connections
Both sides must accept a call. Missing a confirmed call without cancelling at least two hours before counts as a no‑show and reduces your visibility for 14 days, as described in the no‑show policy. After a call both sides record whether the other showed up, a private rating and an outcome. Either side may sever a connection; severing is final and revokes any access the two of you opened for each other.
Deals and commission
When both parties to a call log the same deal and both sign it, AlignedIn charges the seller a commission of the published rate (currently 5%) on the first‑12‑month value logged, invoiced 30 days after the second signature and payable within 14 days. Nothing is charged on a one‑sided claim. Disputes about a logged deal must be raised within 14 days of signature.
Intellectual property and originality records
You keep all rights in what you publish. Publishing a public or stealth secret sauce is a disclosure to people outside your company; if you intend to patent something, speak to a patent attorney first. An originality record is a dated, hashed statement of what you claimed and what we found when we searched; it is evidence of priority on this platform and nothing more. It is not a patent, a copyright registration or a legal opinion, and the watermark on a shared document is not a non‑disclosure agreement. Anyone may challenge a record with an earlier source.
Private documents
Documents you attach are stored privately and opened only to people you grant access to, in an in‑app viewer, watermarked, with every view logged for you. You must not copy, download or share a document another member opened to you beyond what they permitted.
Suspension and termination
We may suspend an account for false declarations, unsolicited prospecting, repeated no‑shows, harassment, or misuse of another member's documents. You may close your account at any time; records another member relies on (messages, signed deals) are retained as described in the privacy notice.
Liability
The service is provided as is. We do not guarantee that any call leads to business, that any member is who they say they are beyond the signals we show (domain verification, show‑up rate, originality records), or that the service is uninterrupted. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
