Terms of Service

1. Use of the Website

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

You agree not to:

• Use the Website for fraudulent, unlawful, misleading, abusive, or harmful purposes
• Submit false, inaccurate, or unauthorized information or listings
• Interfere with the operation, security, or performance of the Website
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system, account, database, or server
• Scrape, harvest, or bulk-copy listings or data except as permitted by our robots rules
• Upload malware, spam, or harmful code
• Impersonate another person, business, or organization
• Violate the rights of any third party
• Use the Website in a way that could damage our reputation, business, users, partners, or service providers

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the Website at any time if we believe these Terms have been violated.

2. Website Content

The Website may include business listings, articles and guides, calculators, images, contact details, financial figures, estimates, and other content.

Website content is provided for general informational purposes only.

We make reasonable efforts to keep content accurate and updated, but we do not guarantee that all information is complete, current, accurate, reliable, or error-free.

You should verify important details directly with the relevant seller, broker, or qualified professional before making decisions.

3. Not Financial, Legal, Tax, or Business Advice

The listings, calculators, guides, and any other content are provided for general information only.

This information is not financial, investment, legal, tax, accounting, or business-brokerage advice, and nothing on the Website is an offer to buy or sell any business.

Always confirm any business's numbers with your own advisors — including your attorney, accountant, and lender — and conduct independent due diligence before making a decision. You are solely responsible for your own buying and selling choices.

4. Listings, Figures, and Estimates

Listings are provided by sellers, brokers, and external sources. Asking prices, revenue, cash flow, expenses, equipment details, and other figures are supplied by the seller or source and are not verified by us.

SudsList does not own, inspect, appraise, audit, or guarantee any listed business. Inclusion in the directory is not an endorsement, certification, or guarantee, and a listing does not guarantee that a business is accurately described, available, profitable, or suitable for your needs.

You are responsible for verifying all listing details and conducting your own independent due diligence before purchasing any business.

5. Marketplace and Third-Party Sellers and Brokers

The Website connects buyers with third-party sellers, brokers, and external listing sources. Some listings may link to their original external source, where we do not represent the seller.

Your dealings with any seller, broker, or business — including negotiations, due diligence, contracts, financing, and closing — are solely between you and that party.

We are not a party to any transaction and are not responsible for the acts, omissions, statements, listings, pricing, disputes, or conduct of any seller, broker, or user.

6. Calculators and Estimates

The Website may include calculators and other tools that produce estimates based on the inputs and assumptions you provide.

All such results are for general reference only, are illustrative, and are not a guaranteed valuation, price, return, or commitment. They should not be used as the sole basis for any purchase, financing, or valuation decision.

7. Buyer Inquiries and Contact Requests

The Website may allow you to submit inquiries, contact requests, saved searches, waitlist requests, or other messages.

By submitting a form, you authorize us to process the information submitted and to route the request as appropriate, which may include sending the information to a seller, broker, listing source, internal team member, software tool, or partner.

Submitting a form does not guarantee a response, appointment, offer, sale, or business relationship. You are responsible for ensuring that any information you submit is accurate and that you have the right to submit it.

8. Accounts

Some features require an account. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity under your account.

You agree to provide accurate information, keep it up to date, and notify us of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or are used for abuse.

9. Seller Submissions and Listing Plans

If you submit a listing, you confirm that you are authorized to do so and that your information is accurate and not misleading, and you agree that we may review, edit, decline, or remove listings and submissions at our discretion.

Basic listings may be offered free of charge, and we may offer optional paid listing or advertising plans. Unless otherwise stated in writing:

• Paid placement does not guarantee inquiries, buyers, a sale, traffic, or rankings
• We may reject, edit, suspend, or remove listings or advertising at our discretion
• Fees are due according to the terms presented at purchase or invoice
• Subscription or timed listings may expire or renew according to the applicable terms

Any refund, cancellation, or billing terms will be provided at the time of purchase or in a separate written agreement if applicable. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or stated otherwise.

10. Payments and Billing

If payments are accepted through the Website, they may be processed by third-party payment processors.

You agree to provide accurate payment and billing information and authorize charges for purchased listings, subscriptions, advertising, or other paid offerings.

We are not responsible for payment processor errors, delays, declines, account holds, chargebacks, or third-party processing issues.

11. User-Submitted Content

You may be able to submit content, including listings, business descriptions, images, messages, or other materials. By submitting content, you represent that:

• You own the content or have permission to use it
• The content is accurate to the best of your knowledge
• The content does not violate the rights of others
• The content is not unlawful, defamatory, misleading, abusive, obscene, infringing, or harmful
• The content does not contain malware, spam, or unauthorized advertising

You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, display, reproduce, edit, format, publish, distribute, and promote submitted content in connection with the Website. We may edit, reject, remove, or disable content at our discretion.

12. Intellectual Property

The Website, including its design, layout, text, graphics, logos, code, images, icons, components, branding, and other materials, is owned by us or our licensors unless otherwise stated.

You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, lease, scrape, republish, or exploit Website content without prior written permission. Content you submit remains yours, subject to the license described above.

Third-party names, logos, trademarks, images, or content remain the property of their respective owners.

13. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may link to third-party websites, external listing sources, seller or broker sites, advertisers, social media pages, payment processors, embedded tools, or other external services.

Your use of third-party websites and services is at your own risk and may be governed by separate terms and privacy policies.
