Terms of Service

1. About the Website and Our Services

We provide middle-market mergers and acquisitions advisory and related services. The Website is provided for general informational purposes only. It describes our services and perspectives but does not itself constitute the provision of those services.

Any engagement of M&A is governed exclusively by a separate written engagement letter executed by you and M&A. Nothing on the Website creates an engagement, and no engagement exists unless and until such an agreement is signed.

2. No Offer or Solicitation of Securities

This does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities and may not be used or relied upon in connection with any offer or sale of securities. An offer or solicitation can be made only through the delivery of a final private placement offering memorandum and subscription agreement and will be subject to the terms and conditions and risks delivered in such documents.

Nothing on the Website is intended to be, and nothing should be construed as, an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or to engage in any transaction.

3. No Investment, Legal, Tax, or Accounting Advice

The information on the Website is not, and should not be relied upon as, investment, financial, legal, tax, accounting, or other professional advice. Transactions described or referenced are illustrative and do not represent a prediction of results. You should consult your own professional advisors before making any decision.

4. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship

Your use of the Website, including submitting an inquiry or contact form, does not create an advisory, fiduciary, agency, or confidential relationship between you and M&A. Such a relationship arises only under a signed engagement letter.

5. Eligibility

The Website is intended for business owners, executives, investors, and professionals. By using it, you represent that you are at least 18 years old and have the authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of yourself or the entity you represent.

6. Confidentiality of Submissions

We treat the non-public business information you submit through the Website with discretion and will use it consistent with our Privacy Policy. However, please do not transmit information you consider highly sensitive or subject to confidentiality obligations through unsecured web forms or email. A binding obligation of confidentiality applies only upon execution of a confidentiality agreement or engagement letter.

7. Forward-Looking Statements and No Guarantee of Outcomes

Any statements regarding strategy, market conditions, valuations, or potential outcomes are forward-looking and inherently uncertain. Past results are not indicative of future results, and we make no representation or warranty that any particular outcome, valuation, price, or timeline will be achieved.

8. Intellectual Property

The Website and its content — including text, graphics, logos, and design — are owned by or licensed to M&A and are protected by intellectual-property laws. You may view and use the content for your own informational, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works without our prior written consent.

10. Third-Party Content and Links

The Website may reference or link to third-party websites, content, or services. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, and the inclusion of any link does not imply our endorsement. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY CONTENT IS ACCURATE OR COMPLETE.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, M&A AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE WEBSITE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless M&A and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Website or your violation of these Terms.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Website will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date, and your continued use of the Website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and M&A regarding your use of the Website.
