4. User Responsibilities
By using the Service, you agree to:

- Verify All Findings: You must independently verify all findings with licensed professionals (CPAs, attorneys, business brokers) before making investment decisions.
- Conduct Full Due Diligence: This tool is a preliminary screening step, NOT a replacement for comprehensive due diligence, including Quality of Earnings (QoE) validation.
- Respect Confidentiality: If you have signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with a seller or broker, you are responsible for ensuring your use of this tool does not violate that agreement. We recommend using anonymized data (e.g., "Project Alpha" instead of actual business names).
- Understand the Risks: Business acquisitions carry substantial financial risk. You assume all liability for investment decisions made using or influenced by this Service.
