Terms of Use

1. What OnlyCEO is

OnlyCEO is a private, verified membership community for chief executives and senior leaders. It includes, among other features: Signals (member posts), Chambers (topic spaces containing Threads), Events (gatherings created by OnlyCEO or by members, online, in person, or as webinars, containing Ideas and Questions), News (editorial articles), The Butler (a concierge request service), Privileges (partner arrangements for members), Messages (private member-to-member communication), and Saved items.

Chambers and Events each exist in three access tiers. Public (Public Chambers, Public Events): open to every member, searchable, shareable by link. Private (Private Chambers, Private Events): searchable and shareable, but gated; entry is by request or by invitation from the owner, and non-members see only a guarded preview. Invite-only: Rooms (Boardrooms) for Chambers and VIP Events for Events; these are hidden from search, have no share links, and are joined only by invitation from the owner, with invitees seeing a guarded preview until they accept.

2. Eligibility and verification

2.1. Membership is open only to individuals who are at least 18 years old and hold a chief-executive or senior leadership role that we can verify.

2.2. Verification is mandatory. Every account must complete identity verification (currently provided through Stripe Identity) and pass manual review by OnlyCEO before activation. We may verify your role against public and corporate registry information. We may decline any application at our sole discretion and are not obliged to state reasons.

2.3. You must keep your identity and role information accurate. If your role materially changes, you must inform us. Misrepresentation of identity or title is grounds for immediate termination.

2.4. Accounts are personal and non-transferable. You may not share credentials or allow anyone else, including assistants, to operate your account unless we have expressly permitted it.

3. Membership and fees

3.1. Membership may be subject to fees, published at the time of application or renewal. Founding members may have fees waived by invitation; a waiver is a courtesy, not a right, and its scope is stated at the time it is granted.

3.2. Fees are non-refundable except where mandatory law provides otherwise. If your membership is terminated for breach of these Terms or the Code of Conduct, no fees are refunded.

3.3. Prices may change; changes apply from your next renewal and will be notified in advance.

3.4. How fees are billed. Membership fees, where they apply, are invoiced by Atlas Lejon AB outside the mobile applications: by invoice (faktura) to you or your company, or through a payment link delivered by email after your application is approved. The mobile applications do not offer, process, or complete any purchase, subscription, or payment, and no feature of the mobile applications is unlocked by an in-app transaction.

4. The Code of Conduct and objectionable content

4.1. The Code of Conduct applies to all use of the Platform. In particular, there is zero tolerance for objectionable content, including: nudity or sexual content; violence or gore; any content involving or endangering minors; hate speech or incitement; harassment or abuse; illegal content; impersonation; and spam. Such content or behavior results in content removal and may result in immediate termination, without prior warning.

4.2. Every content surface on the Platform provides tools to report content and to block other members. We review reports promptly and act on objectionable content within 24 hours of a report, and faster where severity demands.

4.3. Private spaces. We do not proactively read or monitor Messages, Rooms, or VIP Events. In private spaces we act only on reports made by a participant, and when reviewing a report we access only the reported item, not the surrounding conversation. Where the law requires it (for example, content involving minors), we report to the competent authorities.

4.4. Reports outlive deletion. When content is reported, a copy of the reported item is preserved at the moment of the report, solely for review and legal compliance. This preserved copy survives later deletion of the content, the space it was posted in, or the reporting or reported account.

4.5. Ephemeral spaces. Some spaces (for example temporary Rooms) permanently self-destruct at expiry. Destruction is real: expired content is deleted and is not retained, with one exception: individual items under an open report, which are preserved for review as described in 4.4. In ephemeral spaces you may also report the space itself, which preserves the content then visible to you. Participation records (who was a member of which space, without content) are retained for safety and enforcement purposes.

4.6. We may remove any content, restrict any feature, suspend or terminate any membership where we reasonably believe these Terms or the Code of Conduct have been breached, or where required by law. Where reasonable, we tell you what rule was applied. You may appeal an enforcement decision once, in writing, to conduct@onlyceo.app.

5. Discretion

The Platform is built on confidentiality among members. You agree not to disclose, publish, screenshot, or attribute content shared by other members without their explicit consent. This obligation survives the end of your membership. Breach of this section is a material breach of these Terms.

6. Your content

6.1. You retain ownership of the content you post (Signals, Threads, Ideas, comments, messages, and similar).

6.2. You grant OnlyCEO a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, display, and distribute your content within the Platform, solely as needed to operate the service (including showing your Signals to the audiences you select, and delivering Messages to their recipients). We do not sell your content, use it for advertising, or publish it outside the Platform without your consent.

6.3. Anonymous publishing hides your identity from other members, not from OnlyCEO. You remain responsible for anonymous content.

6.4. You warrant that your content does not infringe third-party rights, breach confidentiality obligations you owe (including to your company or its board), or violate law, including market-abuse and insider-dealing rules. You are solely responsible for what you share.

7. The Butler

7.1. The Butler is a concierge request service. OnlyCEO acts as an intermediary: bookings, purchases, and services requested through the Butler are fulfilled by independent third-party providers (“Partners”), who contract with you directly and are responsible for the delivery, quality, and terms of their services.

7.2. Prices, availability, cancellation terms, and refunds for Partner services are set by the Partner and communicated to you before you confirm a request. OnlyCEO may receive commissions from Partners; this never increases the price offered to you.

7.3. Payment for Partner services is arranged between you and the Partner: by the Partner's own payment link, by card through the Partner's payment provider, or by invoice to you or your company. The payment terms communicated to you at confirmation apply, and invoiced amounts are due within the stated term. No payment for Partner services is offered, processed, or completed within the mobile applications.

7.4. OnlyCEO is not liable for Partner performance, but we take service failures seriously: report any failure to the Butler desk and we will pursue it with the Partner on your behalf.

8. Privileges

Privileges are preferential arrangements extended to members by Partners. They are subject to availability, may change or be withdrawn without notice, and are provided by the Partner, not by OnlyCEO. Privileges are for members' personal use and may not be resold or transferred. Partners do not pay for placement; nothing in Privileges is advertising.

9. Events

9.1. Member-created events. Members may create and host events, online, in person, or as webinars, in any access tier (Public, Private, or VIP). The member who creates an event is its organizer and is solely responsible for it: its content, its conduct, its venue, its compliance with local law, and any costs or obligations toward attendees. OnlyCEO provides the tools to publish and manage events but is not the organizer of member-created events and assumes no responsibility for their conduct or outcome, except where an event is expressly stated to be hosted by OnlyCEO.

9.2. The Code of Conduct applies inside every event, online and in person, exactly as it applies on the Platform. Organizers are expected to uphold it in their events; failure to do so is attributable to the organizer.

9.3. VIP Events are visible only to invited members, are excluded from search, and have no share links. Their existence, attendee lists, and content are covered by the discretion obligation in Section 5.

9.4. Attendance information (who attended what) is treated as confidential and is never published by OnlyCEO. Organizers may see the attendee list of their own event and must treat it with the same discretion.

9.5. Events may not be used for ticket resale, paid promotion, or commercial solicitation of attendees unless expressly agreed with OnlyCEO in advance.

10. Intellectual property

The Platform, its design, names, marks (including “OnlyCEO”, “Signals”, “Chambers”, “The Butler”), and editorial content in News belong to Atlas Lejon AB or its licensors. You may not copy, scrape, reverse-engineer, or reuse them except as allowed by law.

11. Acceptable use of the service

You may not: use the Platform for unlawful purposes; probe or disrupt its security; scrape or harvest member data; use automated agents to post or extract content; or use membership primarily as a marketing, recruiting, or lead-generation channel.

12. Availability and changes

The Platform is provided “as is” and evolves continuously. We may add, change, or retire features. We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may make non-material changes to these Terms at any time; material changes will be notified at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

13. Termination

13.1. You may end your membership at any time via Settings or by writing to legal@onlyceo.app.

13.2. We may suspend or terminate membership as described in Section 4, or with 30 days' notice without cause.

13.3. On termination, your access ends. Section 5 (Discretion), Section 6.4, and Sections 14 to 16 survive. Data handling after termination is described in the Privacy Policy.

14. Liability

14.1. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under mandatory law, including liability for intent or gross negligence.

14.2. Subject to 14.1, OnlyCEO's total liability under these Terms in any 12-month period is limited to the membership fees you paid for that period (or, where fees were waived, to SEK 5,000).

14.3. OnlyCEO is not liable for: decisions you make based on content from other members or from News; Partner services (see 7.4); or indirect losses such as loss of profit, business, or reputation.

14.4. Content on the Platform, including anything shared by members or published in News, is not legal, financial, tax, or investment advice.

15. Indemnity

You will indemnify OnlyCEO against third-party claims arising from your content or your breach of these Terms, to the extent permitted by law.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by Swedish law. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Swedish courts, with Stockholms tingsrätt as first instance, except that if you use the Platform as a consumer, you retain any mandatory rights and venues afforded to you by the law of your country of residence. Consumers in the EU may also use the European Commission's ODR platform.
