Acquisition DeskAcquisition Desk Terms of Service
Last Updated: May 20, 2026
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of Acquisition Desk, a software platform operated by JCP Ventures LLC, a California limited liability company doing business as Acquisition Desk (“Acquisition Desk,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing or using Acquisition Desk, creating an account, starting a trial, purchasing a subscription, or using any of our tools, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use Acquisition Desk.
1. Overview of Acquisition Desk
Acquisition Desk provides software tools designed to help users organize, evaluate, and document potential small business acquisitions. The platform may include listing extraction, deal analysis, financial estimates, buyer profile tools, risk reviews, diligence checklists, acquisition memo generation, pipeline tracking, and other related features.
Acquisition Desk is intended to support your deal evaluation process. It does not replace professional advice or independent diligence.
2. No Professional Advice
Acquisition Desk is not a broker, lender, CPA, attorney, investment advisor, financial advisor, tax advisor, valuation firm, or due diligence provider.
Any information, scores, risk reviews, financing estimates, acquisition memos, diligence questions, projections, or other outputs generated by Acquisition Desk are provided for informational, educational, and organizational purposes only.
You are solely responsible for independently verifying all information and consulting qualified professionals, including attorneys, CPAs, lenders, brokers, insurance advisors, tax professionals, and other advisors before making any acquisition, investment, financing, legal, tax, or business decision.
3. No Recommendation to Buy or Sell
Acquisition Desk does not recommend whether you should buy, sell, invest in, finance, pursue, pass on, or submit an offer for any business.
Any “score,” “verdict,” “risk level,” “buy box fit,” “financial score,” “memo,” or similar output is an algorithmic or AI-assisted estimate based on information you provide or information extracted from listing materials. These outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or based on assumptions.
You remain solely responsible for all decisions and actions you take based on your use of the platform.
4. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and capable of entering into a legally binding agreement to use Acquisition Desk.
By using the platform on behalf of a company, entity, fund, buyer group, or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
5. Accounts and Security
You may need to create an account to use Acquisition Desk. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep your account information updated.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised or used without authorization.
We are not responsible for losses caused by unauthorized use of your account unless required by applicable law.
6. User Content
You may submit, upload, paste, enter, or otherwise provide information to Acquisition Desk, including business listings, financial information, deal notes, buyer profile information, diligence materials, URLs, documents, assumptions, and other content (“User Content”).
You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant Acquisition Desk a limited license to use, process, store, display, analyze, and generate outputs from that User Content solely to provide, maintain, improve, secure, and support the platform.
You represent and warrant that you have the right to provide your User Content and that doing so does not violate any law, agreement, confidentiality obligation, privacy right, intellectual property right, or other third-party right.
7. Confidential and Sensitive Deal Information
Acquisition Desk may be used to organize sensitive business acquisition information. You are responsible for deciding what information to upload or enter into the platform.
You should not submit information that you are legally or contractually prohibited from sharing, including information subject to nondisclosure agreements, broker restrictions, confidentiality agreements, seller restrictions, data room terms, or other third-party obligations, unless you have permission to do so.
You are responsible for using appropriate judgment before entering confidential, proprietary, personal, financial, medical, regulated, or sensitive information into the platform.
8. AI-Generated and Automated Outputs
Some Acquisition Desk features may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, algorithms, third-party APIs, or automated analysis to generate outputs.
AI-generated and automated outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or based on incorrect assumptions. You should review all outputs carefully and independently verify all important information.
You agree not to rely solely on Acquisition Desk outputs for any acquisition, legal, tax, financial, lending, investment, employment, operational, or business decision.
9. Listing Extraction and Third-Party Content
Acquisition Desk may allow you to paste, upload, or extract information from business listings, broker emails, public pages, or other third-party materials.
We do not guarantee that extracted information will be accurate, complete, or current. You are responsible for verifying all extracted information against original sources and source documents.
You are responsible for complying with any applicable website terms, broker rules, confidentiality restrictions, copyright laws, and third-party rights when using listing or third-party content.
10. Subscription Plans, Trials, and Billing
Acquisition Desk may offer free trials, paid subscriptions, usage-based limits, or plan-based access to certain features.
By purchasing a paid subscription or starting a paid plan, you authorize us and our payment processors to charge your selected payment method for applicable fees, taxes, and charges according to the plan you select.
Payments, subscriptions, invoices, receipts, and card statements may identify the merchant as JCP Ventures LLC, Acquisition Desk, or JCP Ventures LLC d/b/a Acquisition Desk, depending on the payment processor, bank, or billing system used.
Unless otherwise stated at checkout, subscriptions renew automatically until canceled.
11. Cancellations and Refunds
You may cancel your subscription according to the cancellation process provided in the platform or through the applicable billing provider.
Unless otherwise stated in writing, cancellation stops future renewals but does not automatically entitle you to a refund for prior charges, partial billing periods, unused features, unused usage limits, or unused subscription time.
We may offer refunds at our discretion or where required by law.
12. Usage Limits and Feature Access
Certain features may be subject to usage limits, plan restrictions, trial limits, rate limits, or availability restrictions.

We may change feature availability, plan limits, trial terms, or usage rules from time to time.
We may suspend, throttle, or restrict access if we believe your use violates these Terms, exceeds applicable limits, creates security or operational risk, or could harm the platform or other users.
