Terms of Use

Last updated: June 10, 2026

1. About These Terms

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of AsyncSig.com and the AsyncSig screening service.

AsyncSig is operated by:

Individual Entrepreneur Arman Kassym, operating under the business name "Edumart"
Republic of Kazakhstan, Almaty, Timiryazev st., 59/15
hello@asyncsig.com

By submitting a request, uploading startup materials, or otherwise using the AsyncSig service, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge the Privacy Policy.

If you use AsyncSig on behalf of an organization, fund, syndicate, accelerator, company, or other entity, you confirm that you are authorized to act on its behalf.

2. What AsyncSig Does

AsyncSig is an investor-facing early-stage startup screening service.

AsyncSig reviews startup materials and prepares a private AsyncSig Investor Screening Memo to support an investor's first-look decision before deeper diligence.

The Screening Memo may help an investor decide whether a startup deserves:

  • Pass;
  • Watch;
  • Second Look;
  • Deeper Diligence.

AsyncSig is designed to support investor judgment. It does not make automated investment decisions, provide a public startup score, or replace an investor's own review process.

3. What AsyncSig Does Not Provide

AsyncSig does not provide:

  • legal advice;
  • tax advice;
  • accounting advice;
  • regulated investment advice;
  • financial due diligence;
  • legal due diligence;
  • technical due diligence;
  • a guarantee of investment;
  • a guarantee of a meeting with an investor;
  • a guarantee of founder feedback;
  • a guarantee that any startup information is complete, accurate, or current.

A Screening Memo is a first-look decision-support document. It is not a full investment memo and does not replace deeper diligence where deeper diligence is appropriate.

4. Who May Use AsyncSig

AsyncSig is intended for professional and business-related use.

The primary users are investors and selection-side users with a real startup-screening workflow, including:

  • angel investors;
  • angel syndicates;
  • VC funds;
  • accelerators and incubators;
  • CVC and innovation teams;
  • venture studios;
  • other qualified screening-side users.

You must be at least 18 years old to use AsyncSig.

AsyncSig may approve, decline, or request clarification before activating access to the Free Test or processing a submission.

5. Investor Links

After approval, an investor may receive a personal AsyncSig investor link.

An investor may:

  • use the link to submit startup materials directly;
  • share the link with a founder or startup representative.

The investor link is intended for the associated investor workflow.

You must not:

  • publish the link publicly;
  • use the link for unrelated submissions;
  • attempt to identify another investor through the link;
  • interfere with the link;
  • bypass access controls;
  • use the link in a misleading or unauthorized manner.

If an investor link appears to be compromised, misused, invalid, or incorrectly shared, AsyncSig may replace, suspend, or deactivate it.

6. Founder Submissions

A founder or startup representative may submit startup materials only through an investor link shared by an investor.

Open public founder submissions are not part of the current AsyncSig service.

When submitting materials as a founder or startup representative, you acknowledge that:

  • the submission is made for investor screening;
  • the Screening Memo is prepared for the relevant investor;
  • the Screening Memo is not automatically shared with the founder;
  • submission does not guarantee feedback;
  • submission does not guarantee a meeting;
  • submission does not guarantee an investment decision;
  • submission does not create an obligation for the investor or AsyncSig to respond beyond any confirmation or clarification request.

Founder-facing feedback is not included unless separately agreed in writing.

7. Investor Submissions

An investor may submit startup materials directly through the associated investor link.

The investor may submit materials already received from a startup, provided that the investor is authorized to share those materials for screening.

The Screening Memo is delivered privately to the investor associated with the submission workflow.

8. Startup Materials

The standard submission package may include:

  • startup name;
  • pitch deck in PDF format;
  • stage;
  • sector or category;
  • primary geography;
  • business model;
  • website or product link;
  • company description;
  • traction snapshot;
  • fundraising round;
  • supporting links;
  • additional context;
  • internal investor note, where applicable.

The upload form accepts one PDF pitch deck with a maximum file size of 20 MB.

AsyncSig does not require a complete data room for first-look screening.

9. Authorization to Share Materials

By uploading startup materials, you confirm that:

  • you are authorized to share the materials for investor screening;
  • the materials do not violate the rights of another person or organization;
  • you are not knowingly submitting unlawful content;
  • you have not included unnecessary personal data;
  • you have not included information that you are prohibited from sharing.

You should redact information that is not necessary for screening, including sensitive customer details, personal identification documents, passwords, financial-account credentials, and unrelated personal data.

Do not upload sensitive personal data unless it is strictly necessary for the screening purpose and you are legally authorized to provide it.

10. Confidential Startup Materials

AsyncSig treats submitted startup materials as confidential screening inputs.

AsyncSig uses reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to reduce unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

Startup decks are stored using restricted-access storage. Public links using an "anyone with the link" setting are not used for startup decks.

Access is limited to the operator and explicitly authorized users who need access to deliver the service.

No online service can guarantee absolute security. Submit only the information reasonably necessary for first-look screening.

For more information about data handling, review the Privacy Policy.

11. Screening Memo Delivery

Each Screening Memo is reviewed by a person before delivery.

A Screening Memo may be delivered to the relevant investor:

  • as a PDF attachment;
  • through an access-controlled private link;
  • through another private delivery method agreed with the investor.

AsyncSig does not use public "anyone with the link" access for Screening Memos by default.

A founder does not automatically receive the Screening Memo.

12. Use of AI-Assisted Tools

AsyncSig may use AI-assisted tools internally to help organize, review, or draft parts of a Screening Memo.

AI-assisted processing does not replace human review.

AsyncSig does not use solely automated processing to make an investment decision.

The Privacy Policy provides additional information about data processing and service providers.

13. Free Test

Qualified investors may request a one-time Free Test.

The standard Free Test includes:

  • 2 private Screening Memos;
  • use on real startup submissions;
  • investor-side use;
  • validity for 60 days from activation.

The Free Test is intended to help an investor evaluate whether AsyncSig improves first-look screening.

It is not:

  • an unlimited free service;
  • an open public deck-review service;
  • a founder-feedback product;
  • a free institutional batch;
  • an open-ended consulting engagement.

AsyncSig may decline or limit a Free Test request if the request does not fit the intended investor-side screening workflow.

Unless separately agreed in writing, one Free Test is available per qualified investor or investor master record.

14. Memo Pack 5

After the Free Test, an investor may request:

Memo Pack 5 — a structured first-look process for 5 startup decisions for USD 199.

Memo Pack 5 includes:

  • 5 accepted startup submissions;
  • 5 private Screening Memos;
  • standard AsyncSig memo structure;
  • reasonable clarification requests where needed;
  • 60-day validity from confirmed payment.

Paid credits are linked to the relevant investor workflow.

Unused credits expire after the applicable validity period unless otherwise agreed in writing.

If an investor purchases an additional Memo Pack 5 before existing paid credits expire, the applicable validity period and remaining balance will be confirmed in the payment communication.

15. Credits and Submission Processing

Credits are managed manually during the current MVP stage.

A credit is normally used after a Screening Memo is delivered.

Submitting materials does not automatically guarantee that a submission will be accepted for review.

AsyncSig may place a submission on hold, request clarification, or decline the submission where:

  • the investor link is invalid;
  • the investor link cannot be associated with an approved investor workflow;
  • the investor has no active credit;
  • the submitted file does not meet the format requirements;
  • the materials are incomplete;
  • authorization to share the materials is unclear;
  • the submission creates a legal, confidentiality, or security concern;
  • the submission falls outside the intended AsyncSig scope.

If clarification is required, AsyncSig may request a limited number of decision-relevant details before preparing the Screening Memo.

16. Payments

Memo Pack 5 payments are arranged manually.

After a Memo Pack 5 request, AsyncSig may provide:

  • an invoice;
  • a hosted payment link;
  • another agreed payment method.

Any third-party payment provider may process payment information under its own terms and privacy policy.

AsyncSig may record payment status, payment date, amount, refund status, and related administrative information.

Any refund terms applicable to a Memo Pack will be stated in the invoice, payment confirmation, or other payment communication.

Nothing in these Terms limits any right that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

17. Ownership of Submitted Materials

You retain any ownership rights you have in the startup materials you submit.

By submitting materials, you grant AsyncSig a limited, non-exclusive right to:

  • store the materials;
  • access and review the materials;
  • process the materials for first-look screening;
  • prepare a Screening Memo;
  • deliver the Screening Memo to the relevant investor;
  • maintain limited operational records;
  • comply with legal and security obligations.

This permission is limited to the purposes described in these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

18. Ownership and Use of Screening Memos

AsyncSig retains its rights in:

  • the AsyncSig name;
  • methodology;
  • memo structure;
  • templates;
  • analytical framework;
  • workflows;
  • internal prompts;
  • quality-control processes;
  • service materials.

The relevant investor may use a Screening Memo for internal investment-screening purposes.

The investor may share the Screening Memo internally with colleagues, partners, investment-committee members, or professional advisers who need access for the same screening purpose and who are expected to keep the memo confidential.

Unless separately agreed in writing, you must not:

  • publish a Screening Memo publicly;
  • sell or resell a Screening Memo;
  • distribute a Screening Memo as a public report;
  • present a Screening Memo as founder-facing feedback;
  • remove AsyncSig attribution where attribution is included;
  • use the Screening Memo to imply that AsyncSig has made an investment decision;
  • use the Screening Memo to imply that an investment outcome is guaranteed.

19. Accuracy of Startup Information

AsyncSig relies on information submitted by investors, founders, startup representatives, and other sources used in the screening workflow.

AsyncSig does not independently guarantee that submitted information is complete, accurate, lawful, or current.

The investor remains responsible for deciding whether additional verification or deeper diligence is required.

20. Prohibited Use

You must not use AsyncSig to:

  • upload materials you are not authorized to share;
  • upload malicious files or harmful code;
  • submit false or misleading information intentionally;
  • interfere with website security;
  • attempt unauthorized access;
  • scrape, reverse engineer, or disrupt the service;
  • publish investor links publicly;
  • misuse confidential startup materials;
  • impersonate another person or organization;
  • use the service for unlawful purposes;
  • misrepresent a Screening Memo as an automated investment decision;
  • use the service as a public founder-feedback or fundraising-advice channel.

21. Suspension, Rejection, and Termination

AsyncSig may suspend access, replace an investor link, decline a submission, or stop providing the service where reasonably necessary to:

  • protect confidential information;
  • prevent misuse;
  • address a security concern;
  • comply with law;
  • respond to an invalid or unauthorized submission;
  • enforce these Terms;
  • protect the intended investor-side scope of the MVP.

Where appropriate, AsyncSig may provide a short explanation or request clarification.

22. Third-Party Services

AsyncSig may use third-party services for:

  • website hosting;
  • forms;
  • restricted file storage;
  • spreadsheets;
  • email;
  • analytics;
  • anti-spam protection;
  • payment processing;
  • AI-assisted workflow support.

Third-party services may have their own terms and privacy policies.

AsyncSig is not responsible for third-party services that are outside its reasonable control.

23. Privacy

Your use of AsyncSig is also subject to the Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy explains:

  • what information AsyncSig collects;
  • how information is used;
  • how startup materials are handled;
  • how service providers may be involved;
  • how analytics are configured;
  • how deletion requests may be made;
  • what rights may apply.

24. Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, AsyncSig is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

AsyncSig does not guarantee:

  • uninterrupted availability;
  • error-free operation;
  • a particular investor decision;
  • an investment outcome;
  • the accuracy of founder-provided information;
  • the completeness of submitted materials;
  • that a startup will receive feedback;
  • that a startup will receive a meeting;
  • that an investor will conduct deeper diligence.

A Screening Memo is one input into an investor's decision process.

25. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, AsyncSig is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or similar losses arising from:

  • an investor decision;
  • a missed investment opportunity;
  • reliance on incomplete or inaccurate startup information;
  • unauthorized submission by a user;
  • third-party service disruption;
  • loss of anticipated profit;
  • loss of business opportunity;
  • reputational harm.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.

26. Changes to These Terms

AsyncSig may update these Terms as the service, workflow, infrastructure, or legal requirements change.

The updated version will be posted on AsyncSig.com with a revised "Last updated" date.

Material changes may be communicated separately where appropriate.

27. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the AsyncSig service will be handled by the competent courts of Almaty, Republic of Kazakhstan, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
