Terms of Service

1. About Acquiral

Acquiral is an acquisition intelligence firm that provides market research, business quality assessments, competitive analysis, risk profiling, and strategic due diligence support to buyers evaluating acquisition opportunities. Acquiral is not a licensed financial advisor, investment advisor, or law firm.

2. Services

Our services include, but are not limited to, Acquisition Intelligence Reports, Due Diligence Support, Business Risk Assessments, Competitive Intelligence, Expansion Potential Reviews, Acquisition Scoring, and Strategic Advisory engagements.

All services are delivered on a project basis as described in a separate engagement agreement or proposal. Deliverables, timelines, and fees are confirmed before work commences.

3. Not Financial or Legal Advice

Acquiral's services constitute market research and strategic intelligence, not financial advice, investment advice, legal advice, or accounting advice. Our reports and analysis are intended to inform buyer decision-making and should be used alongside, not as a substitute for, professional legal, financial, and accounting due diligence conducted by qualified professionals. You are solely responsible for your acquisition decisions.

4. Fees and Payment

Fees for all services are agreed upon in writing before engagement. Payment terms are specified in the relevant proposal or invoice. We reserve the right to suspend work if payment obligations are not met on time.

5. Confidentiality

We maintain strict confidentiality over all client information, including details of acquisition targets and strategic intentions. In exchange, client information provided to Acquiral must be accurate and legally obtained. You must not share our proprietary reports or intelligence with third parties without prior written consent.

6. Intellectual Property

All intelligence reports, frameworks, methodologies, and materials produced by Acquiral are our intellectual property. Upon full payment, you receive a limited, non-transferable license to use the reports for your internal acquisition evaluation purposes only.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Acquiral shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our services or any acquisition decisions made based on our intelligence. Our total liability in any engagement shall not exceed the fees paid for that specific engagement.

8. Representations and Warranties

You represent that you are authorized to engage our services and that all information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge. We represent that we will provide services with professional care and diligence.

9. Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement with written notice. If you terminate without cause after work has commenced, fees for work completed will remain due. We may terminate if you breach these Terms or fail to provide necessary information.

10. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Acquiral is incorporated. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration or the courts of that jurisdiction.

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
