2. Description of Service
SearcherList is a web-based platform that enables acquisition entrepreneurs to create professional, shareable online profiles for use in their business acquisition search. The platform may also include tools for profile generation, Personal Financial Statement review, and access to Acquisition Lab educational resources, programs, and networks, as available from time to time.
The platform is provided on an "as-is" basis. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature or the platform as a whole at any time, with or without notice.
No Investment or Legal Advice: SearcherList is a platform for information and networking only. Acquisition Lab does not render investment, legal, or tax advice. We are not a broker, dealer, finder, investment adviser, agent, or representative of any user. We do not participate in negotiations, structure transactions, escrow funds, or provide transaction advisory services as defined under securities laws. You are solely responsible for conducting your own due diligence and legal review of any business acquisition opportunity sourced or identified through the platform.
3. No Endorsement or Verification Guarantee.
Any ‘Verified’ designation, proof-of-funds review, or similar badge reflects only that certain information was reviewed at a point in time. Acquisition Lab does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or continued validity of any user’s financial capacity, representations, or intent. Other users must conduct their own independent diligence.
You acknowledge that business acquisitions involve substantial financial risk. You assume full responsibility for any decisions made based on information obtained through the platform.
We may revoke ‘Verified’ status at any time if we determine information was inaccurate, outdated, or misleading.”
