OnlyCEO Terms of Use

Last updated: 14 August 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the OnlyCEO platform, applications, and services (the "Platform"), operated by Atlas Lejon AB, org. nr 559446-0015, Drottninggatan 15, 702 10 Örebro, Sweden ("OnlyCEO", "we", "us"). By applying for membership or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms, to the Code of Conduct (which is part of these Terms), and to the Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

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.

Messages are end-to-end encrypted, and Section 17 sets out what that means for you, for us, and for what happens if you lose your recovery phrase. Read it before you rely on it.

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 Access

3.1. Membership is subject to review and approval by OnlyCEO. Founding members may have access granted by invitation; an invitation is a courtesy, not a right, and its scope is stated at the time it is granted.

3.2. Accounts and access rights are managed directly between the member (or their organization) and Atlas Lejon AB.

3.3. If your membership is suspended or terminated for breach of these Terms or the Code of Conduct, your access to the Platform will be immediately revoked.

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.

Messages are end-to-end encrypted (Section 17), so in Messages this is not a restraint we impose on ourselves but a limit built into the service: we cannot read them at all. When you report a message or a conversation, your own device unlocks the last five messages and sends them with the report, and the app tells you so before you confirm. Reporting is therefore the only way we can see what was said to you, and the only way we can act on it.

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. For Messages, this licence covers only the sealed form: we store and deliver ciphertext, and we hold no key that would let us do anything else with it.

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. Partner services are independent arrangements between you and the respective Partner. All terms, administration, and fulfillment for these services are handled directly by the Partner. OnlyCEO does not manage or facilitate Partner transactions.

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, Section 17.5, 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.

17. Encryption, your devices, and your recovery phrase

17.1. Messages are end-to-end encrypted. They are sealed on your device before they leave it and can be opened only on devices you have approved. Our servers hold ciphertext and no key. We cannot read your Messages, and we cannot produce their contents to anyone: not to another member, not to a buyer of this company, and not to an authority presenting an order. What we can produce is what we actually hold, which is ciphertext and the fact that a conversation took place.

17.2. Not everything is end-to-end encrypted yet. Discussions in Chambers, Rooms, Events and VIP Events, and files and photographs you attach anywhere, are encrypted in transit and at rest but not end to end: technically we hold those keys, and Section 4.3 governs our conduct in respect of them. We are extending end-to-end encryption further and will update these Terms when we do, rather than claiming it before it is true.

17.3. Your devices. Each additional device is joined by your own approval, by comparing a short code shown on both screens. You are responsible for the devices you approve and for the security of each one. Remove any device you no longer control, from Settings, promptly. A device you have approved can read your correspondence for as long as it is approved.

17.4. Your recovery phrase. When you set up encryption you are shown a recovery phrase once. It is generated on your device. We never receive it, we do not store it, and we cannot reset, reissue, or recover it. Keep it somewhere you would keep a passport.

17.5. What is lost is lost. If you lose every approved device and your recovery phrase, your Message history becomes permanently unreadable, by you and by us. This is not a support matter and no request to us can retrieve it: there is no key for us to find. We accept this consequence deliberately, because the alternative is a key we hold, and a key we hold is a key that can be taken from us. Nothing in this section limits any liability that cannot be limited under mandatory law.

17.6. No circumvention. You may not attempt to defeat, weaken, or work around the encryption of the Platform, extract keys belonging to another member, or represent to anyone that OnlyCEO can read encrypted content.
