overridesigned agreement

Public material is informational. Preview material is gated. Signed agreements override these terms.

These terms govern your use of blackmenta.com and any preview surfaces. They are drafted negatively around financial-promotion rules, scoped narrowly to a holding-company website, and written so the boundary between public information, gated preview and signed agreement is unambiguous. If a signed agreement with BlackMenta Ltd conflicts with these terms, the signed agreement governs.

// EX.X · TERMS PERIMETER What these terms are not.
not the signed agreement where a signed agreement covers the same relationship, the signed agreement governs — not these terms.
not financial promotion nothing on this site is an offer, prospectus, token sale, securities promotion or solicitation.
not legal advice terms are drafted plainly so they can be read; interpretation belongs to qualified counsel, not this page.
not a service guarantee website provided “as is” and “as available”. uptime is a target, not a contractual promise.
not a click-through trick no surprise terms, no buried arbitration. the boundary between public and gated is stated, not hidden.
not a training licence access does not grant rights to scrape, train, fine-tune, vector-index or commercialise BlackMenta material.
// acceptance & conflict

Four rules before the rest of the page.

acceptance · public · preview · conflict
AC.01
acceptance

By access or use

By accessing or using blackmenta.com, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site. Acceptance is by conduct.

See scope
AC.02
public materials

Informational only

Public pages, diagrams, thesis material, legal notices, security routes and AI page content are provided for general information only. Read · link · reference.

See no-offer rule
AC.03
preview materials

Conditional and gated

Gated materials may be subject to additional conditions, confidentiality terms, reviewer rules or separate agreements. Sheet 04 sets the preview perimeter.

See preview rules
AC.04
conflict rule

Signed agreement governs

If a signed agreement with BlackMenta Ltd conflicts with these terms, the signed agreement governs for that relationship. These terms are the floor, not the ceiling.

Open legal route
// SHEET 02 OF 08 · SCOPE

The website is informational.

REF 02.X · 4 ROWS · PUBLIC SURFACE

Four rows fix the scope before anything else: what acceptance means, what counts as public, what counts as gated, and what happens when a signed agreement contradicts these terms.

02.1 acceptance By accessing or using blackmenta.com, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site. term

// SHEET 03 OF 08 · NO OFFER / NO ADVICE

No public solicitation, no reliance.

REF 03.X · FSMA / MICA · 3 BOUNDARIES

The website is drafted negatively around financial-promotion and advisory rules. Three statements set the perimeter so the boundary cannot be argued out of by a clever reading.

03.1
// no offer

Not an offer

The website is not an offer, invitation, prospectus, token sale, securities promotion, crypto-asset offer or solicitation to buy, sell, subscribe for or invest in anything.

FSMA s.21 · MiCA Art. 3
03.2
// no advice

Not advice

Nothing on the site is legal, tax, financial, investment, accounting, compliance, technical, cyber-security or professional advice. Information ≠ advice.

qualified counsel only
03.3
// no reliance

No reliance

Do not rely on public website material to make legal, financial, operational, investment, security or commercial decisions. Verify against primary sources.

verify, then act
// SHEET 04 OF 08 · PREVIEW ACCESS

Invitation-only means conditional.

REF 04.X · REVIEWER / GATED · 4 RULES

Preview access exists for verified reviewers under explicit conditions. Four rows mark the perimeter so the difference between permission and redistribution stays unambiguous.

ref area term status
04.1 access Preview access may be granted, refused, limited, suspended or revoked at BlackMenta’s discretion. conditional
04.2 identity BlackMenta may ask reviewers to identify themselves, their role, organisation, jurisdiction and reason for requesting access. route
04.3 gated content Preview materials may include drafts, counsel-sensitive materials, private filings, diligence notes or documents not suitable for redistribution. restricted
04.4 no redistribution Unless expressly permitted in writing, do not copy, publish, forward, scrape, index, train on, resell, repackage or externally quote gated materials. restricted
Reading rule: if a piece of preview material is being shared outside its intended audience, that is a 04.4 violation regardless of intent. The redistribution rule applies even when no commercial value is involved.
// SHEET 05 OF 08 · ACCEPTABLE USE

Use is allowed; abuse is not.

REF 05.X · CONDUCT · PUBLIC / GATED

Two columns. The left side describes normal use of the public site. The right side describes conduct that crosses the line — the same line that matters for the security page’s safe-harbor doctrine.

05.A · ALLOWED

LEFT: normal use, no permission needed RIGHT: prohibited use, may be reported via security@ EITHER SIDE: BlackMenta retains all rights to seek legal remedy where conduct crosses the line.
// SHEET 06 OF 08 · AI / MENTA

The assistant is bounded.

REF 06.X · VOICE · LIMITED CORPUS

The assistant page (/voice) describes the doctrine in detail. Four rows here state the contractual boundary that applies when you use it: nature, accuracy, what not to submit, and how to escalate.

ref area term status
06.1 nature Any BlackMenta assistant is a beta informational interface to a limited public or approved corpus — not a person, adviser, lawyer, financial promoter or support guarantee. beta
06.2 accuracy AI output may be incomplete, outdated or wrong. Verify critical information against official pages, contracts, counsel, Companies House or primary sources. verify
06.3 confidential input Do not submit secrets, private keys, credentials, personal data, confidential reviewer materials or legal instructions to a public assistant surface. do not submit
06.4 escalation For legal, security, privacy or preview matters, use the named inboxes rather than relying on assistant output. The assistant routes; humans answer. route
// SHEET 07 OF 08 · IP / DISCLAIMERS / LIABILITY

You may read it; you may not take it.

REF 07.X · IP · AS-IS · E&W LAW

Six cells. IP perimeter, third-party links, “as-is” disclaimer, liability limitation, governing law, jurisdiction. Together they fix the legal frame in plain English — nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

IP.01

As-is, as-available

The website is provided “as is” and “as available”.

LB.01
// liability / law

Limitation · E&W law

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, BlackMenta Ltd excludes liability for losses arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on the website, public materials, preview surfaces or AI output. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. These terms and non-contractual obligations arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

STATUS: E&W law · E&W courts

Reviewer-side terms are separate.

These public terms cover the website. Preview-pack terms, NDA, IP licence, diligence-room rules and reviewer-side conditions are released through auth.blackmenta.com — under separate signed agreements that override these terms for the relationship in question.
