Terms & Conditions

ScoutAcq aggregates publicly listed digital-business acquisition opportunities from third-party marketplaces (including Acquire.com, Flippa, TrustMRR, Empire Flippers, FE International, Quiet Light, Microns, and Investors.club), scores those listings against acquisition criteria you provide, and generates AI-assisted analysis (such as a summary, fit/risk assessment, price sanity check, and optional deep research) to help you evaluate deals. The Service is an informational and research tool only.

To operate and improve the Service, we use product analytics and session replay (via PostHog) that record on-screen interactions such as navigation, clicks, and scrolling. We use this solely to understand and improve your user experience, and for nothing else — not for advertising, profiling, or the sale of data — and sensitive fields such as passwords are masked. See our Privacy Policy for details.

You are solely responsible for your own acquisition decisions and for conducting your own independent due diligence (including, where appropriate, engaging qualified legal, financial, accounting, and tax professionals). Any reliance you place on the Service is strictly at your own risk.

• You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service.
• You register and authenticate through our identity provider (Supabase Auth), including via email and password or Google sign-in. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account.
• You agree to provide accurate information and to notify us promptly at laz@scoutacq.com of any unauthorized use of your account.

• The Service offers a Free plan and a paid Pro plan. Current pricing and plan features are described on our Pricing page and may change as described in Section 13.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. By purchasing a paid plan you authorize us (through Stripe) to charge your payment method on a recurring basis (e.g., monthly) until you cancel. We do not store full payment-card numbers.
• Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price until cancelled. You may cancel at any time through your account’s billing portal; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
• Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable and partial billing periods are not prorated or refunded.
• Usage of certain features may be metered or limited by plan (for example, monthly analyses or lifetime deep-research reports). We may modify these limits prospectively.

You agree not to:

• scrape, crawl, harvest, resell, redistribute, or create a competing dataset or product from the listings, scores, or analyses provided through the Service;
• access the Service through automated means except via interfaces we expressly provide, or circumvent rate limits, usage meters, or access controls;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code or underlying models, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law;
• use the Service to violate any law, infringe any third party’s rights, or transmit malware; or
• interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or its infrastructure.

Listing data is aggregated from independent third-party marketplaces. ScoutAcq is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by those marketplaces or sellers, and does not control, verify, guarantee, or assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, availability, or legality of any listing or seller. Listings may be inaccurate, stale, withdrawn, duplicated, or fraudulent. Your dealings with any marketplace or seller — including any transaction, payment, or transfer — are solely between you and that third party, and are subject to that third party’s own terms.

The Service uses automated systems and large language models to produce match scores, summaries, verdicts, risk flags, and research. This output is generated probabilistically, may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect (including “hallucinated” facts), and must not be relied upon as a statement of fact or as professional advice. You are responsible for independently verifying any information before acting on it.

• The Service, including its software, design, and our aggregated and AI-generated content, is owned by ScoutAcq or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your internal business or personal purposes.
• You retain ownership of the information you submit — such as your acquisition criteria, saved searches, and notes (“Your Content”). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, process, and use Your Content to operate, secure, and improve the Service.

Some features let you upload documents and files — for example confidential information memoranda (CIMs), profit-and-loss statements, spreadsheets, or screenshots (collectively, “Submitted Materials”) — which the Service processes (including via third-party AI providers) to produce deep-research analysis. This Section applies to Submitted Materials you upload; it does not apply to the public listing data or domain web research the Service performs automatically.

You are solely responsible for determining whether you may share a document before uploading it. If you are unsure whether an NDA or confidentiality agreement permits you to upload a document, do not upload it.

Our handling of Submitted Materials. We treat Submitted Materials as confidential and:

• use them only to provide the deep-research analysis you request, on your behalf;
• do not use them to train AI models or to build cross-user or aggregate datasets;
• limit access to those who need it to operate the Service; and
• delete them from our active systems within 30 days of completing the related analysis (residual copies may persist briefly in backups or logs), and you may remove them at any time through the Service.

In addition to the indemnity in Section 12, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless ScoutAcq for any claims arising from your Submitted Materials or from any breach of the representation above. We may refuse, remove, or decline to process any Submitted Materials at our discretion.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ScoutAcq and its owners, officers, and suppliers from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your acquisition decisions, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

We may modify the Service or these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 2, 9, and 10–16) will survive.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its applicable rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. The arbitration will be conducted in the State of Wyoming (or remotely as the arbitrator permits), and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver. You and ScoutAcq agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 15, the state and federal courts located in Wyoming will have exclusive jurisdiction over any matter not subject to arbitration.

Questions about these Terms can be sent to laz@scoutacq.com. The Service is operated by Creators Reach LLC (Wyoming, USA).
