Terms of Use

Effective Date: February 16, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using deepstrategy.ai and any associated services, publications, or platforms operated by DeepStrategy.ai (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Services.

The Services include but are not limited to: the DeepStrategy.ai website; the BoardroomRadar, ScenarioWatch, and The Paranoidist newsletters; and any current or future products, platforms, programs, or services offered under the DeepStrategy.ai brand or its affiliated services, including ScenarioPlan.com and Human Masterminds (whether operated as subsidiaries, divisions, programs, or under other organizational structures as determined by DeepStrategy.ai).

These Terms apply to all users worldwide, regardless of location.

2. Informational Purpose Only

All content provided through the Services is for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing in our publications, on our website, or generated through our platforms constitutes legal, financial, investment, insurance, or professional advice. The content should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultation with qualified professionals in the relevant field.

DeepStrategy.ai provides strategic intelligence, scenario analysis, and risk perspectives. We do not provide personalized recommendations and are not responsible for any decisions made based on our content or platform outputs.

3. No Fiduciary Relationship

Your use of the Services does not create a fiduciary, advisory, or professional-client relationship between you and DeepStrategy.ai or its founder, Paul Morin. Our publications and platform outputs offer analysis and perspective, not advice tailored to your specific circumstances.

4. Intellectual Property

All content, frameworks, methodologies, analysis, platform outputs, and materials published or generated through the Services are the intellectual property of DeepStrategy.ai unless otherwise noted. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Newsletter content across all DeepStrategy.ai publications
  • Analytical frameworks and methodologies (including the ScenarioWatch six-category intelligence framework, dual-lens analysis approach, and scenario planning methodologies)
  • Platform-generated outputs, templates, scenario models, and analytical tools
  • Website design, copy, and structure
  • Brand names, logos, and trade dress

You may share links to our published content and quote brief excerpts with attribution. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without written permission.

5. Platform Services and User Data

Certain Services, including scenario planning platforms and analytical tools, may require you to submit business information, strategic context, company data, or other proprietary materials ("User-Submitted Data"). Regarding User-Submitted Data:

  • You retain ownership of the data and materials you submit to our platforms
  • You grant DeepStrategy.ai a limited license to process your data solely for the purpose of delivering the requested services
  • We will treat User-Submitted Data as confidential and will not share it with other clients or third parties except as necessary to deliver the service (for example, through AI processing services) or as required by law
  • Aggregated, anonymized insights derived from platform usage may be used to improve our services and methodologies, but no individually identifiable business data will be disclosed
  • You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to share any data you submit, and that such submission does not violate any obligations you may have to third parties

Specific terms for platform services (including data handling, retention, and confidentiality provisions) may be provided in supplemental agreements at the time those services are offered. See our Privacy Policy for details on data processing, storage, and international transfers.

6. AI Collaboration Disclosure

DeepStrategy.ai publications and platform services are developed in collaboration with AI tools, including Claude by Anthropic. All content and outputs undergo human editorial review and reflect the analysis and judgment of DeepStrategy.ai. The use of AI in our workflow does not diminish our editorial responsibility for quality.

When User-Submitted Data is processed through AI systems to generate scenario analyses or other platform outputs, that data may be transmitted to third-party AI service providers for processing. We select AI partners that maintain appropriate data handling and security standards. See our Privacy Policy for details.

7. Professional Services

DeepStrategy.ai may offer facilitated scenario planning engagements, consulting, mastermind group participation, or other professional services. These engagements will be governed by separate engagement agreements that specify scope, deliverables, fees, confidentiality obligations, and other terms. In the event of a conflict between these Terms of Use and a specific engagement agreement, the engagement agreement will prevail.

8. Newsletter Subscriptions

Our newsletters are distributed through Beehiiv, a third-party email platform. By subscribing to any DeepStrategy.ai newsletter, you also agree to Beehiiv's Terms of Use. You may unsubscribe from any newsletter at any time using the unsubscribe link provided in each email.

We reserve the right to modify newsletter frequency, format, pricing, and availability at any time. If we introduce paid tiers, existing free subscribers will continue to receive the free tier unless they choose to upgrade.

9. Accuracy and Timeliness

We strive for accuracy in all our publications, analyses, and platform outputs. However, we do not warrant that all content is complete, current, or free from error. Strategic intelligence and scenario planning inherently involve analysis of uncertain and evolving situations. Our analyses, risk assessments, scenario models, and strategic perspectives represent our best judgment at the time of creation and may be affected by subsequent events.

References to specific companies, securities, or financial instruments in our publications are for analytical purposes only and do not constitute endorsements or recommendations to buy, sell, or hold any investment.

Scenario planning outputs are analytical tools designed to support decision-making. They represent possible futures, not predictions. No scenario model can account for all variables, and actual outcomes may differ materially from modeled scenarios.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DeepStrategy.ai, its founder, contributors, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or reliance on the Services or any content, analysis, or outputs provided through them.

This includes, without limitation, damages arising from investment decisions, business strategies, governance actions, scenario planning outcomes, or any other decisions influenced by our content or platform outputs.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death, or personal injury caused by negligence.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

The Services may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or services. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party sites. The inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement.

12. User Conduct

You agree not to use the Services to:

  • Reproduce, redistribute, or commercially exploit our content without permission
  • Misrepresent your affiliation with DeepStrategy.ai
  • Use our content or platform outputs to train AI models or for automated data extraction
  • Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent data to our platforms
  • Attempt to access other users' data or accounts
  • Engage in any activity that disrupts or interferes with the Services
  • Use the Services in violation of any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DeepStrategy.ai, its founder, and its affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

14. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to any or all of the Services at our discretion, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties. Upon termination of platform services, provisions regarding data retention and return of User-Submitted Data will be handled as specified in any applicable supplemental agreement or, absent such agreement, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

15. Modifications

We may update these Terms of Use at any time. Material changes will be noted on this page with an updated effective date. For users of platform services, material changes to terms affecting data handling or service delivery will be communicated via email. Your continued use of the Services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Services shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation. If the dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days, either party may pursue resolution through binding arbitration administered in New York, New York, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

For users outside the United States: if mandatory provisions of your local law grant you rights that cannot be waived by contract, those rights remain unaffected by these Terms. In such cases, the applicable provisions of your local law will apply to the extent required.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms of Use, together with our Privacy Policy and any supplemental agreements for specific services, constitute the entire agreement between you and DeepStrategy.ai regarding use of the Services.
