Terms of Service

These Terms are between you and DealStratum (the “Company,” “we,” “us”). They are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States. By accessing or using DealStratum (the “Service”) you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

DealStratum is a software platform for business acquisition: a CRM, AI deal-analysis tools, broker outreach, off-market sourcing, and a searchable directory of business brokers and advisors (the “Directory”). Features, limits, and pricing may change over time.

2. Accounts

You must provide accurate information and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account. You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

3. Subscriptions, Credits & Billing

Paid plans and usage-based credits (e.g., contact lookups and physical mail) are billed through our payment processor, Stripe. Subscriptions renew until cancelled. Except where required by law, fees and consumed credits are non-refundable. You authorize us and Stripe to charge your payment method for all amounts due.

4. The Broker Directory — Aggregated Third-Party Information

The Directory is compiled from publicly available information aggregated from public web sources, business marketplaces, brokerage and professional-association websites, and similar sources. Directory entries consist of factual business-contact information (such as name, firm, location, public website, and area of practice).

We do not claim ownership of, and make no representations about, third-party information in the Directory. Listings and broker entries are provided “as is” for informational purposes. Inclusion in the Directory does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement by the listed broker or any source. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any third-party marketplace or broker. Where applicable we link back to the original source rather than reproduce its content.

If you are a broker or advisor and wish to be removed from the Directory, use our removal request page. We honor verified removal requests promptly.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• use the Service to violate any law or any third party’s rights;
• send unsolicited communications in violation of anti-spam laws (e.g., CAN-SPAM) — you are solely responsible for outreach you send through your own connected email account;
• scrape, resell, or bulk-export the Directory or other Service data except as expressly permitted;
• attempt to circumvent security, rate limits, or access controls;
• misuse confidential deal information obtained through the Service.

6. Your Content & Connected Accounts

You retain ownership of content and data you submit. You grant us a limited license to host and process it to operate the Service. If you connect an email mailbox (e.g., via Google), you authorize us to send and read messages on your behalf solely to provide outreach and reply features. You are responsible for your communications and compliance with applicable laws.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service’s software, design, and original content are owned by the Company and protected by law. Factual data is not owned by us. You may not copy or create derivative works of the Service itself without permission.

8. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates third parties (e.g., Stripe, Google, data and mail providers). Your use of those services is subject to their terms, and we are not responsible for them.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL DIRECTORY AND DEAL INFORMATION ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that information is accurate, current, or complete, or that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. Nothing here is legal, financial, tax, or investment advice.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS OR DATA. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $100.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its operators from any claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your content or communications, or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for any violation of these Terms.

Cancelling your subscription takes effect immediately: your access ends at once with no refund for any unused portion of your billing period, and your workspace data is permanently and irreversibly deleted. You may export your uploaded documents before confirming. We retain only limited, anonymized billing records as described in our Privacy Policy (Section 6). Sections that by their nature should survive (e.g., disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification) survive termination.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
