ACQUIRESHIP Website Terms of Use

The Site is intended for general informational and business-development purposes — to describe acquireship's financial and advisory services, to provide content and resources to founder-led businesses, and to allow visitors to contact us. It is not a client portal and does not itself deliver any services.

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. No Client Relationship Created by the Site

If you are using the Site on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms.

Subject to these Terms, acquireship grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Site for your own informational purposes. You agree not to:

Violate any applicable law or third party's rights, including intellectual property or privacy rights
Use the Site for any fraudulent, harmful, or deceptive purpose
Interfere with the normal functioning or security of the Site, including through malware, scraping, or overloading

All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, and underlying code — is owned by acquireship or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws. You may not use, copy, modify, or distribute Site content without our prior written permission, except as expressly permitted by these Terms.

If you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Site, you agree that we may use them without restriction or compensation to you.

5. No Professional, Investment, or Financial Advice

Content on the Site is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute accounting, tax, legal, financial, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon as such. Nothing on the Site constitutes an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security or investment interest, and any such offer, if made, will only be made through definitive investment documents provided directly to qualified prospective investors. You should consult your own professional advisors before making any financial, tax, legal, or investment decision.

6. Testimonials, Case Studies, and Founder Experience

The Site may include testimonials, case studies, client stories, deal summaries, hypothetical scenarios, and other illustrative examples (collectively, “Examples”). Examples are provided for general informational and illustrative purposes only. Each reflects the specific facts and circumstances of a particular situation, may not be representative of the experience of other founders or businesses, and is not a promise, prediction, or guarantee of any outcome. Testimonials reflect the individual views of the persons providing them and are not necessarily the views of acquireship. Where a person providing a testimonial has received compensation or has a material connection to acquireship, we will disclose it.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, references on the Site to transaction experience, deal history, transaction values, outcomes, or professional background describe the individual professional experience of acquireship’s founder, Jonathan Tipton, including experience gained in prior roles with other firms and organizations, before or independently of acquireship. Those references are not representations of the track record of acquireship as an entity. The firms, organizations, and counterparties referenced in connection with that experience have not endorsed, sponsored, or approved acquireship or the Site.

7. Past Performance; No Guarantee of Results

Past performance is not indicative of, and does not guarantee, future results. Any prior transactions, valuations, multiples, sale processes, or other outcomes described on the Site — whether involving acquireship, its founder, or any client or other third party — should not be taken as an indication of the results you or your business will achieve. Every business and transaction is different, and outcomes depend on many factors outside our control, including market conditions, buyer interest, availability of financing, and the performance of the business itself. Any projections, estimates, or other forward-looking statements on the Site are hypothetical, rest on assumptions that may prove incorrect, and are subject to change without notice.

8. Resources, Tools, and Downloadable Materials

The Site may make available articles, insights, guides, checklists, templates, calculators, financial models, spreadsheets (including Microsoft Excel files), PDFs, videos, webinars, and other resources and tools (collectively, “Materials”). Materials are provided for general educational and informational purposes only. They are generic in nature, are not tailored to your business or circumstances, and are not a substitute for advice from qualified professionals engaged to review your specific situation. Unless otherwise stated, Materials are licensed to you solely for your own internal use and may not be resold or redistributed.

MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. ACQUIRESHIP DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY MATERIALS ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT, THAT THEY ARE FREE OF ERRORS, FORMULA OR CALCULATION ERRORS, BUGS, OR OMISSIONS, OR THAT THEY WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT. MATERIALS MAY BECOME OUTDATED, AND WE HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO UPDATE OR CORRECT THEM.

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW YOU USE ANY MATERIALS OR OTHER SITE CONTENT, INCLUDING VERIFYING ALL INPUTS, FORMULAS, ASSUMPTIONS, AND OUTPUTS, AND FOR ANY DECISION YOU MAKE OR ACTION YOU TAKE (OR DECLINE TO TAKE) BASED ON THEM. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NONE OF THE ACQUIRESHIP PARTIES (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 12) SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR ACCESS TO, RELIANCE ON, MODIFICATION OF, OR USE OF ANY MATERIALS, INSIGHTS, OR OTHER SITE CONTENT, IN ANY WAY OR FOR ANY PURPOSE, INCLUDING ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THEM.
