Terms of Service
Last updated: 13 November 2026
1. Scope
These terms govern your use of eustartup.news (“EU Startup News”, “we”), operated by Michel Charly Ompendoguelet Fanguinoveny, Prinzenstr. 37, 12105 Berlin, Germany. By using the website you accept these terms. Separate written agreements (e.g. for advertising or sponsored content) take precedence.
2. Our service
EU Startup News provides free news, analysis and newsletters on European startups, founders, funding rounds, accelerators, policy and innovation ecosystems. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the service at any time. There is no entitlement to availability.
3. No advice
All content is general information and journalism. It is not investment, financial, legal or tax advice, not investment research and not a personal recommendation. Decisions you make based on our content are at your own risk. Past performance and funding announcements do not indicate future results.
4. Intellectual property
Articles, graphics, logos and the site design are protected by copyright and trademark law. You may read, share links to and quote short excerpts with attribution and a link. Any other reproduction, systematic scraping, text-and-data mining (we reserve this right under § 44b UrhG) or commercial reuse requires our prior written consent.
5. Submissions and press releases
If you submit a press release, quote, image or other material, you confirm you hold the necessary rights and that the content is accurate and lawful, and you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to publish, edit for length and format, and distribute it across our network. We may decline or remove submissions at our discretion. You indemnify us against third-party claims arising from material you supplied.
6. Sponsored content and advertising
Sponsored articles and advertising are labelled. Commercial terms for paid placements are agreed separately. Sponsorship does not influence our independent reporting.
7. Acceptable use
no unlawful, defamatory or infringing content;
no attempts to disrupt, overload or gain unauthorised access to the website;
no automated bulk access without permission;
no impersonation or misleading use of our brand.
8. Third-party links
We link to external websites for reference. We are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.
9. Liability
We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under the German Product Liability Act. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of essential obligations (obligations whose fulfilment makes proper use possible and on which you may rely), limited to typical, foreseeable damage. Otherwise our liability is excluded. Since the service is provided free of charge, the statutory liability privileges for gratuitous services also apply.
10. Newsletter
Newsletter subscriptions are free and can be cancelled at any time via the unsubscribe link in every email. See our Privacy Policy.
11. Changes
We may update these terms; the version published on this page applies. Material changes will be indicated by the date above.
12. Governing law and jurisdiction
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of your country of residence remain unaffected. For merchants, the place of jurisdiction is Berlin, Germany.
13. Severability
If any provision is invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
