Terms and Conditions

Last updated 04 November 2024

Introduction

Welcome to Multiples, a subscription-based valuation multiples database platform provided by Flow Partners (London) Ltd. ("Multiples", "we", "us", or "our"). These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our products, software, services, and website (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Service from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms from time to time. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date of these Terms, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms to stay informed of updates. You will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Terms by your continued use of the Service after the date such revised Terms are posted.

Using Multiples

By signing up for the Service and in accordance with this Agreement, Multiples grants you a limited (valid for the duration of this Agreement), non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Service and Data strictly for your internal business activities. The Data is licensed to you for internal business use only. This does not prevent you from generating analyses based on the Data or utilizing the Data as a basis for your own service offerings.

By executing or agreeing to this Agreement, you affirm your authority to commit yourself to this Agreement.

Unless otherwise specified, each User is required to have their own account to access the Service. Access credentials are provided to individual Users, and the Service cannot be accessed by anyone other than the User for whom Multiples has authorized access (sharing of access is not permitted).

Under the terms of this Agreement, you are not allowed to alter, decode, reverse-engineer, acquire the source code, or transfer, assign, sublicense, or distribute the Service or any of its components.

Changes to Multiples

We may, from time to time, modify and/or update the Service or a part thereof. We shall notify you of all such changes. This Agreement will automatically apply to all updates, modifications or amendments to the Service.

WThere may be information on the Service that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including descriptions, pricing, availability, and various other information. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update the information on the Service at any time, without prior notice.

Subscriptions

We offer a variety of subscription plans, each with its own set of features and restrictions. You can find details about these plans and their pricing on our website. We hold the right to change, cancel, or update our subscription offerings.

By choosing a paid subscription, you agree to pay the subscription fee as listed in Multiples' most recent price list, in return for access to the Service.

You must make payments according to the terms set by Multiples. All fees paid are considered final and non-refundable, unless otherwise explicitly stated.

The prices we quote do not include VAT or any other applicable sales taxes, which will be added to your invoice if necessary.

Your subscription will continue and automatically renew unless canceled. You consent to our charging your payment method on a recurring basis without requiring your prior approval for each recurring charge, until such time as you cancel the applicable order. The length of your billing cycle will depend on the type of subscription plan you choose when you subscribed to the Service.

You can cancel your subscription at any time by logging into your account. Your cancellation will take effect at the end of the current paid term. If you have any questions or are unsatisfied with our Service, please email us at hi@multiples.vc.

We reserve the right to modify the prices for the Service at any time. Multiples will inform the Customer of any pricing changes in writing at least one (1) month before such changes are implemented. Should the Customer disagree with the new pricing, they have the option to end this Agreement by cancelling before the next billing date. Any price list changes shall not apply to ongoing subscription terms that have already been paid for by the Customer, but they shall be applied to any renewals of such Service subscription terms. If the Customer does not cancel before the next billing date, the changes in pricing will be considered accepted by the Customer.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made via the Service. You further agree to promptly update account and payment information, including email address, payment method, and payment card expiration date, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.

Exceptions to Limitations of Use

As stated above, unless explicitly stated otherwise in this Agreement, you agree not to copy, transfer, distribute, reproduce, reverse engineer, decrypt, decompile, disassemble, create derivative works from, or share any portion of the Multiples Data with others.

Multiples reserves the right to require you to stop using the Multiples Data immediately if it believes that your usage exceeds what is considered a small portion.

Ownership

The ownership and all intellectual property rights in the Service and the Data remain exclusively with Multiples and/or applicable third parties.

Furthermore, this Agreement does not grant you any intellectual property rights, including but not limited to patents, copyrights, rights in databases, trade secrets, business names, trademarks (whether they are registered or not), or any other rights or licenses related to the Service, any software that is part of the Service, or any accompanying documentation.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
