Terms for using SellerInquiry.com.

1. U.S.-only service and eligible businesses

SellerInquiry is intended for users in the United States who are acting in a business or professional capacity. The opportunities sought through this website concern businesses principally located in Virginia or North Carolina. An owner or authorized business representative may live in another U.S. state and still use the site for a Virginia or North Carolina business.

Do not use the inquiry service if you are under 18, are not authorized to discuss the business, or are seeking services for a business outside Virginia or North Carolina.

2. Marketing and referral role

SellerInquiry provides marketing, lead-generation, referral, introductory and opportunity-analysis services. We may connect business owners or prospects with independent professionals or organizations that may be relevant to a business sale, acquisition, franchise opportunity, financing, advisory need or related transaction.

Unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement, SellerInquiry is not your attorney, accountant, investment adviser, securities broker-dealer, lender, real estate broker, fiduciary or valuation professional. A referral or introduction does not create an agency, fiduciary, partnership or joint-venture relationship between you and SellerInquiry.

3. Partner compensation and introductions

SellerInquiry may receive marketing, referral or transaction-based compensation from partners. That compensation may depend on an introduction, engagement or completed transaction. We may share information you submit with selected partners when reasonably necessary to evaluate or pursue the opportunity you requested.

Partners are independent parties unless a written agreement states otherwise. Their services, fees, licensing, privacy practices, diligence and transaction decisions are their own responsibility.

4. Franchise-related opportunities

This website is not a Franchise Disclosure Document and does not itself offer a specific franchise for sale. If a partner later presents a franchise opportunity, the franchisor or responsible franchise seller must provide any disclosures, registrations and offering materials required by applicable federal and state law. Under the federal Franchise Rule, a prospective franchisee generally must receive the current Franchise Disclosure Document at least 14 calendar days before signing a binding agreement or paying money to the franchisor or its affiliate. Franchises offered or sold in Virginia must be registered or qualify for an exemption, and some North Carolina business-opportunity structures may carry separate state filing or disclosure duties.

SellerInquiry does not authorize reliance on website content as an earnings claim, financial performance representation, franchise offering statement or promise that a franchise opportunity will be available, registered, profitable or appropriate for a particular person.

5. No promise of a deal, valuation or buyer

Submitting an inquiry does not create an obligation to buy or sell a business and does not guarantee a buyer, franchise opportunity, valuation, financing, introduction, closing date or transaction. Any valuation, diligence, financing, legal, tax or accounting issue should be reviewed with appropriately qualified professionals.

6. Your submissions

You represent that information you submit is reasonably accurate and that you have authority to provide it for the stated business purpose. Do not submit confidential information belonging to another person or company unless you are authorized to do so.

Do not send Social Security numbers, bank credentials, payment-card data, tax returns, customer lists, employee records, medical information, government identification numbers or other highly sensitive documents through the public inquiry form.

7. Contact permission

By submitting an inquiry, you request that SellerInquiry contact you by ordinary business email or telephone regarding that inquiry and that selected partners may contact you when an introduction is reasonably related to the requested opportunity. Submission does not constitute consent to automated marketing text messages or prerecorded marketing calls.

You may stop promotional email from SellerInquiry through the marketing opt-out page. A marketing opt-out does not prevent communications you separately request or communications reasonably necessary for an active transaction, contract or negotiation.

8. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, shared and retained. Our Privacy Choices & Requests page provides access, correction, deletion and opt-out options.

9. Accessibility

SellerInquiry is intended to be usable by people with disabilities. See our Accessibility Statement for the current accessibility baseline and a way to report an access barrier.

10. Acceptable use

You may not use this website to impersonate another person, submit information without authority, probe or interfere with the site, introduce malicious code, abuse the forms, or use the site in violation of law.

11. Site content and availability

Website content is general business information, not individualized legal, tax, accounting, investment or valuation advice. We may correct, update or remove content and may change or discontinue website features without guaranteeing uninterrupted availability.

12. Intellectual property

The SellerInquiry name, site design, original illustrations, text and other first-party site materials are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. You may view and use the site for its intended business purpose, but you may not copy or republish substantial site content as your own without permission.

13. Disclaimers and limits

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website is provided on an “as available” basis and SellerInquiry does not warrant that every opportunity, partner, statement or third-party service will meet a user's objectives. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits a right or remedy that applicable law does not permit to be waived.

14. Active transactions and later agreements

If you enter a separate agreement with SellerInquiry or an independent partner, that agreement governs the services, duties, fees, confidentiality, dispute terms and transaction-specific obligations it covers. A website privacy request or marketing opt-out does not itself cancel a separate contract or an active negotiation with an independent party.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms as the website or our operating model changes. The effective date at the top of this page identifies the current version.
