Terms of Service

Effective: July 1, 2026 · Last updated: July 1, 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Aqvire (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Service. These Terms apply to all users, including visitors, registered users, and paying subscribers.

The Service is operated by Aqvire, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Aqvire,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

2. Description of Service

Aqvire is an AI-powered analysis platform that helps independent business buyers evaluate small and mid-sized business (SMB) acquisition opportunities. The Service analyzes uploaded documents — such as Confidential Information Memoranda (CIMs), P&L statements, and tax returns — and produces structured output including financial summaries, valuations, risk assessments, an AIQ score, and deal structure modeling.

3. Not Financial or Legal Advice

IMPORTANT: Aqvire is an analytical tool, not a licensed financial advisor, investment advisor, or M&A advisor. Nothing produced by the Service constitutes financial advice, investment advice, legal advice, or a recommendation to buy or not buy any business.

The AIQ score, valuation ranges, offer ranges, DSCR calculations, and risk flags produced by Aqvire are estimates based on the documents you provide. They may contain errors. They should not be the sole or primary basis for any acquisition decision. You should consult qualified professional advisors — including attorneys, accountants, and financial advisors — before making any acquisition decision.

4. User Accounts

  • You must be at least 18 years old to create an account.
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account.
  • You must provide accurate information when registering. You agree to update your information if it changes.
  • You may not share your account with others or use another person's account.

5. Document Uploads and Data Rights

  • Authorization: By uploading any document, you represent and warrant that you have the legal right to share that document for analysis. You are solely responsible for ensuring you are not violating any confidentiality agreement, NDA, or third-party rights.
  • No permanent storage: Uploaded documents are used only to generate your analysis and are not retained after processing is complete. Structured analysis output (scores, financials, risk flags) is stored in your account.
  • License: By uploading documents, you grant Aqvire a limited, non-exclusive license to process those documents solely to provide the Service to you.

6. Subscriptions and Payment

  • Aqvire offers paid subscription plans on a monthly basis. Pricing is listed at aqvire.ai/#pricing.
  • Subscriptions automatically renew each month until cancelled. You can cancel at any time from your account settings; your access continues until the end of the current billing period.
  • Payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing, you agree to Stripe's terms of service.
  • Refunds: If you experience a technical failure that prevents you from using the Service, contact us within 7 days for a pro-rated refund. We do not issue refunds for dissatisfaction with AI-generated output, as all analyses are produced and consumed immediately.
  • We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' notice. Price changes do not apply to your current billing period.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law
  • Upload documents you do not have the right to share
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer or extract the underlying AI models or prompts
  • Resell or redistribute Service output without written permission
  • Attempt to bypass usage limits or access controls

8. Intellectual Property

Aqvire owns all rights to the Service, including the software, design, AIQ scoring methodology, and analysis framework. The structured analysis output generated from your documents is yours to use for personal business evaluation purposes, subject to these Terms.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. AQVIRE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANALYSIS OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AQVIRE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR ANY ACQUISITION DECISION YOU MAKE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO AQVIRE IN THE 3 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Aqvire and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights in connection with uploaded documents.

12. Modifications

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by posting a notice in the Service. Continued use after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.
