GENERAL PROVISIONS
Company Communication
Company utilizes email as a vital and primary communication
channel with customers. As a registered user, Customer hereby
acknowledges
and grants Company permission to communicate with customer
via email (as well as other communication channels such as
phone and fax) for any purpose Company determines to be relevant
including, but not limited to, system messages, product updates,
service announcements and other marketing messages. Company
will use best efforts to honor Customer’s request to
opt out of marketing messages, but under no circumstances
will Company have any liability for sending any email to
its registered
users/customers. Customer acknowledges and agrees that certain
Customer information (specifically Customer name, company,
telephone number, and email address) shall be provided to
and shared with other Customers pursuant to the Service provided
by Company. Company assures customers that under no circumstances
will it knowingly share any Customer information with any
non-registered
third party.
Customer Privileges
Customer privileges are granted by Company to individuals exclusively
and are granted specifically to the registered member only. Individual
user rights cannot be assigned, sublicensed, distributed, shared,
viewed, accessed, or otherwise transferred to anyone without
the express written permission of Company. Company requires that
each registered user maintain a valid email address or Member
ID and a password, which shall be utilized for logging on to
the Company system. Customers are not permitted to share their
individual logon information with others. Company has the right
to refuse service to any member that refuses to abide by the
terms and conditions herein or abuses their rights related to
the Company service.
Submission and Administration of Listings
Customer agrees not to submit any business descriptions, financial,
contact or other information contained in each business's
data to Company unless Customer has received all necessary
rights
and authorizations. The Company may, in its sole discretion
but without any obligation to search for such, remove a
business listing ("Business" or "Listing")
that is alleged to have been submitted in violation of this
provision.
In addition, the Company may require additional evidence
of compliance
with this provision from Customers who are alleged to have
submitted businesses or other information in violation
of this Agreement.
Each listing purchased by Customer from Company is permitted
for one business for sale opportunity/entity, and may not
be changed or edited in an attempt to sell a different business
entity. The Company will, in its sole discretion, terminate
the accounts of, and refuse service to, any Customer who
repeatedly
or knowingly violates this Agreement. Additionally, the
Customer agrees to allow the Listing, or any part of it,
to be searched,
displayed, accessed, downloaded, copied, and otherwise
referred to by the Company websites. The Company shall have
the sole
authority
to choose the manner in which any Business will be searched,
displayed, accessed, downloaded, copied, and otherwise
used on the Company websites and Company shall have the right
to
modify
the business listing in the exercise of its rights under
this Agreement. Customer (a) represents and warrants that
all Businesses
and associated information provided by Customer will be
accurate; (b) agrees that Customer will not permit the posting
of a business
on the Company system under a name other than the named
licensed business agents that have been engaged by the business
owner
to market the business under the terms of a duly executed
listing agreement with the owner; (c) agrees to administer
the Listings
provided by Customer and maintain their accuracy at all
times. Company reserves, in a manner consistent with reasonable
commercial
business practices, the right to remove all or any part
of the Listings posted on the Company websites. Company accepts
no responsibility
for checking the accuracy of reports or data files submitted
by Customer. While Company shall take all reasonable efforts
for data backup and business resumption, Customer will
be solely
responsible for retaining back-up copies of all information
and other materials it provides to the Company.
Use of Information
Customer agrees to treat all information obtained from the
Service, including business listings, business broker
directory, valuation
reports, and any other information otherwise made available
to Customer in the Service (individually and collectively,
the “Content”)
as proprietary to Company. Customer agrees that Content
reserved for members will be maintained as confidential
and shall be
protected as a trade secret of Company. Company does
not ensure the accuracy
of, endorse or recommend any Content and Customer uses
such Content at the Customer's own risk. Customer may
access the
Content solely
to obtain initial information from which further evaluation
and investigation may commence. Customer shall limit
access to and
use of Content to personal and internal use, and shall
not use Content obtained from the Service for further
distribution, publication,
public display, or preparation of derivative works or
facilitate any of these activities in any way. Customer
shall not
use
or reproduce Content obtained from the Service for or
in connection with any other listing service or device.
