Last updated: June 8, 2026

Applies to: slidexchange.com, semlr.com, and all related Semlr services

Welcome

Welcome to Semlr! We build tools that help individuals and organizations create, organize, manage, and share content effectively.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a legally binding contract between you and Semlr US Limited, a Delaware C corporation ("Semlr," "we," "us," or "our"). Semlr US Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Semlr Limited, a Bermuda corporation (our "Parent Company"). These Terms govern your use of our entire technology platform, including:

  • slideXchange (slidexchange.com) — our public-facing platform for sharing presentations, documents, PDFs, and links with advanced engagement tracking and analytics.

  • Semlr Studio (semlr.com) — our enterprise content management, assembly, and reuse platform built for organizations.

  • Any related websites, applications, APIs, integrations, software, features, and services we provide now or in the future (collectively, the "Services").

By creating an account, accessing, or using any of the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Services.

1. Who May Use the Services

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of entering into a legally binding agreement to use the Services.

If you use the Services on behalf of a company, employer, nonprofit organization, government agency, or other entity, you represent and warrant that:

  • you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms; and

  • you accept these Terms on behalf of that entity.

In those situations, "you" refers to both you and the organization you represent.

You are also responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services complies with all applicable local, national, and international laws and regulations.

2. Our Services

The Semlr platform currently includes:

Semlr Studio — an enterprise content management, content assembly, and content reuse platform that enables organizations to organize, discover, remix, manage, and distribute content.

slideXchange — a platform for sharing presentations, documents, PDFs, and other content through web-based links, including engagement tracking and analytics features.

The Services may evolve over time. We may add, remove, modify, or discontinue features at any time.

3. Accounts and Security

When you create an account, you agree to:

  • provide accurate, up-to-date account information;

  • maintain the security of your passwords, credentials, and authentication methods; and

  • accept full responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account.

You must notify us immediately at legal@semlr.com if you believe your account has been compromised. You may not share credentials with unauthorized users, impersonate another person or organization, or create accounts through automated means without our prior written consent. A single account may provide access to multiple Semlr Services.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Services responsibly and lawfully. You may not use the Services to:

  • violate any applicable law or regulation;

  • infringe the intellectual property or other rights of others;

  • interfere with or disrupt the Services or any connected systems or networks;

  • access systems or data without authorization;

  • engage in fraud, phishing, or deceptive practices;

  • distribute malware, viruses, ransomware, or any other malicious code;

  • conduct security attacks against any system or network; or

  • harvest or collect information from other users without authorization.

5. User Representations and Warranties

By uploading, posting, or sharing content through the Services, you represent and warrant that:

  • you own or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to upload and share your content;

  • your content complies with all applicable laws and regulations;

  • your content does not violate these Terms;

  • your content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property, privacy, or other rights; and

  • you have obtained all necessary permissions and consents related to any personal data or third-party material included in your content.

You are solely responsible for your content and for all consequences arising from it.

6. User Content and License

A. Ownership

You retain full ownership of all text, presentations, graphics, PDFs, and other materials you create, upload, or share on the Services ("User Content"). Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of your content to Semlr.

B. License to Semlr

To operate the Services, you grant Semlr a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, reproduce, transmit, display, and distribute your User Content solely as necessary to provide, maintain, improve, secure, and support the Services. This license terminates when you delete your content or close your account, except to the extent copies have been retained in backups, preserved for law enforcement or dispute resolution purposes, or as required by law.

C. Responsibility

You — not Semlr — are responsible for the content you upload, store, publish, share, or distribute through the Services. Semlr does not endorse, verify, or guarantee the accuracy, legality, reliability, safety, quality, or completeness of any User Content. Users access and rely upon user-generated content entirely at their own risk.

7. Prohibited Content

The Services are intended for professional and business use. You may not upload, store, publish, transmit, distribute, link to, promote, facilitate, or otherwise make available content that falls within any of the following categories:

Child Exploitation: content that contains child sexual abuse material (CSAM), depicts or promotes the sexual exploitation of minors, or endangers minors in any way. Semlr maintains a zero-tolerance policy and will immediately report violations to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and law enforcement.

Illegal Activity: content that violates applicable law, facilitates criminal conduct, or promotes terrorism or violent extremism.

Harassment and Abuse: content that threatens violence, promotes targeted harassment or stalking, or incites unlawful violence against any person or group.

Hate Speech: content that promotes hatred or discrimination against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or similar characteristics.

Intellectual Property Violations: content that infringes any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other proprietary right.

Privacy Violations: content that discloses confidential information without authorization, violates privacy rights, or publishes personal information unlawfully.

Malicious Content: content that contains malware, viruses, ransomware, spyware, or code designed to disrupt, compromise, or gain unauthorized access to any system or network.

Fraudulent Content: content that impersonates others, contains deceptive or fraudulent schemes, or facilitates scams.

Sexually Explicit Material: pornography, commercial sexual content, or sexually explicit material inconsistent with the professional business purpose of the Services.

8. Our Role as a Platform

Semlr provides tools that allow users and organizations to create, upload, manage, and share content. We do not create most User Content. We do not endorse User Content. We do not guarantee the accuracy, legality, reliability, safety, quality, or completeness of User Content. We have no obligation to proactively monitor, review, screen, or verify User Content. However, we reserve the right to review, remove, disable access to, preserve, disclose, or investigate any content at our sole discretion, with or without notice, when we believe doing so is necessary to comply with law, enforce these Terms, protect users, protect third parties, or protect the integrity of the Services.

9. Content Moderation and Enforcement

We reserve the right at our sole discretion to:

  • remove or disable access to any content;

  • suspend or permanently terminate user accounts;

  • ban repeat copyright infringers in accordance with our DMCA policy;

  • preserve content and account information; and

  • cooperate fully with law enforcement and regulatory authorities.

We may take any of these actions with or without prior notice.

10. Copyright and DMCA

Semlr respects intellectual property rights and expects all users to do the same. We maintain a policy of terminating accounts of repeat copyright infringers in appropriate circumstances.

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied or used in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please submit a DMCA notice to our designated copyright agent at:

Semlr US Limited — Copyright Agent

Email: legal@semlr.com

Your notice must include: (i) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (iii) identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location on the Services; (iv) your contact information; (v) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized; and (vi) a statement made under penalty of perjury that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

Counter-notices and other DMCA-related communications will be processed in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512.

11. Enterprise Accounts

Organizations that subscribe to Semlr Studio or other enterprise offerings may administer multiple user accounts. Organization administrators may:

  • manage users and assign roles and permissions;

  • control content access within the organization;

  • disable or deactivate individual user accounts; and

  • access organizational content as permitted by the applicable enterprise agreement between Semlr and the organization.

Users associated with enterprise accounts acknowledge that their organization may exercise administrative control over their accounts, including the ability to access, modify, or remove content. Enterprise customers should review their enterprise agreement and applicable Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") for additional terms governing data handling, privacy, and compliance obligations (including GDPR and CCPA). Where an enterprise agreement conflicts with these Terms, the enterprise agreement controls with respect to that enterprise customer.

12. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information in connection with the Services. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Enterprise customers may be subject to a separate Data Processing Addendum in addition to the Privacy Policy.

13. Third-Party Services and Integrations

The Services may integrate with or link to third-party applications, platforms, and services (such as cloud storage providers or single sign-on providers). We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their availability, security, practices, terms, or content. Your use of any third-party service is governed solely by that third party's terms and policies. We recommend you review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party service before enabling an integration.

14. Service Availability

We strive to provide reliable Services but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may perform maintenance, modify or discontinue features, or suspend portions of the Services at any time. We will endeavor to provide reasonable advance notice of planned maintenance that significantly impacts availability.

15. Force Majeure

Semlr US Limited and its Parent Company shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance of the Services arising from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemic or epidemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government actions or regulations, power or internet outages, cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, or failures of third-party service providers. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume the Services as promptly as practicable.

16. International Users, Export Controls, and Sanctions

You are responsible for complying with all applicable local, national, and international laws in connection with your use of the Services, including laws governing the import and export of data and software. You may not use the Services if you are subject to comprehensive U.S. economic sanctions, appear on any U.S. Government restricted-party list (including the Treasury Department's SDN list or the Commerce Department's Entity List), or are located in a country that is subject to a comprehensive U.S. embargo.

You may not use the Services to export, re-export, transfer, or make available any content, software, or technology in violation of U.S. export control laws, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

17. Legal Protections for Semlr and Its Parent Company

Please read the following sections carefully. They define the legal basis on which we provide the Services and limit our mutual exposure to risk.

A. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SEMLR US LIMITED AND ITS PARENT COMPANY, SEMLR LIMITED (BERMUDA), AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL ALWAYS BE SECURE, ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR FREE OF CONTENT THAT VIOLATES THESE TERMS. YOU EXPLICITLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE DO NOT PRE-SCREEN USER-GENERATED CONTENT, AND WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES THAT ANY LINKS, DOCUMENTS, PRESENTATIONS, OR OTHER MATERIALS SHARED, UPLOADED, OR FACILITATED BY USERS OF THE PLATFORM ARE SAFE, SECURE, ACCURATE, LAWFUL, VERIFIED, OR FREE OF MALWARE, VIRUSES, OR PHISHING SCHEMES. YOUR ACCESS TO, RELIANCE UPON, AND INTERACTION WITH ANY USER-GENERATED CONTENT OR THIRD-PARTY LINKS DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE SERVICES IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

B. Limitation of Liability and Parent Company Insulation

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SEMLR US LIMITED, ITS PARENT COMPANY SEMLR LIMITED (BERMUDA), THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, THE SERVICES, OR ANY USER CONTENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

YOU EXPLICITLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP IS SOLELY WITH SEMLR US LIMITED (DELAWARE). YOU HEREBY WAIVE, RELEASE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE OUR PARENT COMPANY, SEMLR LIMITED (BERMUDA), FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, COSTS, OR DEMANDS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL COMBINED LIABILITY OF SEMLR US LIMITED AND ITS PARENT ENTITIES FOR ALL CLAIMS OF ANY KIND EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (I) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO SEMLR US LIMITED DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (II) USD $100.

Note for enterprise customers: the liability cap described above applies to claims by individual users. Enterprise customers should refer to their executed enterprise agreement, which may contain negotiated liability terms that supersede this cap with respect to that enterprise relationship.

C. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Semlr US Limited, its Parent Company Semlr Limited (Bermuda), and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (i) your User Content; (ii) your use of or access to the Services; (iii) your violation of these Terms; (iv) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; or (v) your infringement or violation of any third-party rights.

18. Resolving Disputes: Mandatory Arbitration, Class Action Waiver, and Jury Trial Waiver

A. Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute, you agree to contact us at legal@semlr.com and provide written notice describing the nature and basis of your claim. We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally within thirty (30) days of receiving notice.

B. Mandatory Binding Arbitration

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE INFORMALLY, YOU AND SEMLR US LIMITED AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SERVICES, OR THE PLATFORM WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN A COURT OF LAW.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect (or, for claims that qualify, the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules). The seat and place of arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware. The arbitrator's decision will be final, binding, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award, including injunctive or declaratory relief, but only on an individual basis.

Opt-Out Right: If you are an individual consumer (not a business or enterprise customer), you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@semlr.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, email address, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the courts specified in Section 18(E) below.

C. Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver

YOU AND SEMLR US LIMITED EXPLICITLY AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. YOU AND SEMLR EACH WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

D. Carve-Out for Intellectual Property and Emergency Relief

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights or confidential information, without first going through the informal resolution process or arbitration. The existence of such proceedings shall not waive or limit either party's right to arbitrate any underlying dispute.

E. Governing Law and Forum Selection

These Terms and any disputes arising out of them are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. To the extent any claim is not subject to arbitration (including small claims court matters or IP injunctions described above), both parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware.

19. Intended Third-Party Beneficiary

You acknowledge and agree that Semlr Limited (Bermuda), our Parent Company, is an intended third-party beneficiary of Section 17 (Legal Protections) and Section 18 (Dispute Resolution) of these Terms. Semlr Limited has the direct legal right to enforce the liability exclusions, indemnities, and arbitration obligations contained in those sections directly against you to protect its corporate assets and interests.

20. Suspension, Termination, and Survival

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law, or for any other reason in our sole discretion. We may permanently ban users who repeatedly violate these Terms. We may also remove any content at any time.

Upon termination, all rights and licenses granted to you under these Terms immediately cease. The following sections survive termination and remain in full force and effect: Section 5 (User Representations and Warranties), Section 6(C) (Responsibility for User Content), Section 10 (Copyright and DMCA), Section 17 (Legal Protections — Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification), Section 18 (Dispute Resolution), Section 19 (Third-Party Beneficiary), and Section 23 (General Terms).

21. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we may provide reasonable advance notice (such as by email or an in-platform notification) before the change takes effect. The updated Terms will be identified by a new effective date at the top of this document. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Services.

22. General Terms

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable enterprise agreement or DPA, constitute the entire agreement between you and Semlr regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, or representations on the same subject matter.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so in the future.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights hereunder without our prior written consent. Semlr may assign these Terms without restriction in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

Notices. Notices to Semlr must be sent to legal@semlr.com. We may send notices to you via the email address associated with your account or through the Services.

Relationship of the Parties. These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, or employment relationship between you and Semlr.
