Lantern

Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-07-24

The deal

By using Lantern (the web app at this domain and the Chrome extension that pairs with it), you agree to these terms. If you don't, don't use it.

What you can use Lantern for

Lantern is a tool for founders to organise their investor outreach. You may use it to:

  • Save investor profiles you find on LinkedIn into your campaigns.
  • Map mutual connections between investors and people you know.
  • Personalise outreach notes and export contact lists.
  • Run an email-finder agent against profiles you've saved.

What you can't use Lantern for

  • Mass scraping LinkedIn beyond your own practical use. We rate- limit per-account because LinkedIn rate-limits us back, and sustained automation against LinkedIn violates their terms.
  • Any activity that violates LinkedIn's User Agreement, including automated data collection at scale, evading LinkedIn's anti-bot measures, or misrepresenting your identity. You are responsible for staying within LinkedIn's rules; we do not provide a workaround.
  • Spam. The contact data you collect is for legitimate, human- reviewed outreach. Don't use Lantern to feed bulk-mail campaigns.
  • Reselling or redistributing scraped data to third parties.
  • Reverse-engineering, decompiling, or attacking the Lantern service or the systems it depends on.

Your account

You are responsible for keeping your password safe and for all activity under your account. Tell us right away if you suspect unauthorised access. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

Your data

See the Privacy Policy for what we collect, why, and how to delete it. You retain ownership of the data you put into Lantern. We grant ourselves no rights over your campaign data beyond what is needed to operate the service for you.

Service availability

Lantern is offered as-is during the closed beta. We make no guarantees about uptime, accuracy of scraped data, deliverability of email addresses returned by the agent, or compatibility with future LinkedIn DOM changes. We may update or change the product at any time without notice during beta.

Disclaimer of warranties

Lantern is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We disclaim all implied warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranty that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that data obtained through it will be accurate or reliable.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lantern and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the service. Our total cumulative liability for any claim related to Lantern will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim (which during the beta is zero).

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Lantern and its operators harmless from any claim arising out of your use of the service, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any third-party rights (including LinkedIn's terms or anti-spam laws).

Governing law

These terms and any dispute arising out of them or your use of Lantern are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and by applicable United States federal law (including the Federal Arbitration Act).

Dispute resolution & binding arbitration

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights, including your right to sue in court and to have a jury trial.

  • Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration, you agree to email us at jason@adamantventures.com and give us 30 days to try to resolve the dispute informally.
  • Binding arbitration. If we can't resolve it, any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or Lantern will be settled by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules then in effect, seated in California (or conducted by video/phone or on the documents where the rules allow). Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
  • Class-action waiver. Disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis. You and Lantern each waive any right to bring or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims.
  • Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to stop actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property or the service.
  • 30-day opt-out. You can opt out of this arbitration and class-waiver section by emailing jason@adamantventures.com within 30 days of first accepting these terms, stating your name and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these terms.

Venue for court proceedings

For any dispute not subject to arbitration (including small-claims and equitable-relief actions above), you and Lantern consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in California, and waive any objection to that venue.

General

  • Severability. If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, the rest stay in effect. If the class-action waiver above is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) is severed from arbitration and heard in court.
  • Entire agreement. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Lantern about the service and supersede any prior understanding.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be communicated to users by email. Continued use after a change means you accept the new terms.
