Terms of Use

Platform status
European Startup Hub is an independent commercial platform and is not an institution, body, office or agency of the European Union. References to EU programmes do not imply endorsement or affiliation.
Accounts
Users are responsible for providing accurate information, protecting credentials and using the platform lawfully. ESH may suspend access for fraud, security threats, illegal activity or serious breach of platform rules.
User submissions
Users must have the rights and authority needed to submit startup, founder, event, job, service or other content. Submitted information must not be knowingly false, unlawful, infringing or misleading.
Funding and investment
Investor discovery, startup scoring, funding matches and opportunity information are informational tools. ESH does not guarantee eligibility, funding, investment, returns or business outcomes. Regulated investment services must not be launched without appropriate legal analysis and authorisation where required.
Courses, memberships and paid services
Displayed launch prices may be changed for future purchases. Recurring memberships, where activated, renew according to the interval shown at checkout until cancelled in accordance with the final Terms of Sale and payment-provider workflow. Final Terms of Sale must define VAT treatment, payment methods, renewal/cancellation, refund rights, digital-content rules, course access, programme changes and consumer rights applicable to the relevant buyer and jurisdiction.
Marketplace
ESH may charge for job listings, provider subscriptions and clearly labelled featured placements. Payment does not guarantee publication, endorsement, ranking or investment quality. Marketplace submissions remain subject to review, and transactional third-party services must use the identity, traceability, transparency, reporting and redress controls required by applicable law. See the Marketplace Standard and Terms of Sale.
Intellectual property
ESH branding, software and original platform content remain protected by applicable intellectual-property rights. User content remains subject to the rights granted in the final contributor terms for hosting, displaying and promoting submitted material.
Liability
Production terms should contain enforceable jurisdiction-specific liability provisions. Nothing in these terms should exclude liability or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.
