Company is not an employee, agent, lawyer, doctor, manager, therapist, public relations or business manager, registered dietician, financial analyst, psychotherapist, or accountant. Client understands that Company has not promised, shall not be obligated to, and will not: (1) procure or attempt to procure business opportunities, employment, or sales for Client; (2) perform any business acquisition or management functions including but not limited to accounting, tax, or investment consulting, or advice with regard thereto; (3) act as a therapist providing psychoanalysis, psychological counseling, or behavioral therapy; (4) act as a public relations manager; (5) act as a publicist to procure any publicity, interviews, write-ups, features, television, print, or digital media exposure for Client; or (6) introduce Client to Company’s full network of contacts, media partners, or business partners. Client understands that a relationship does not exist between the parties after the conclusion of the Program. If the parties continue their relationship, a separate agreement will be entered into.

Client acknowledges and agrees that business acquisitions involve substantial financial risk, including the risk of total loss of invested capital. Nothing in the Program, community forum, tools, or any communications from Company or its coaches, staff, or other Participants constitutes investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, or a recommendation to purchase any specific business. Client is solely responsible for independently evaluating any acquisition opportunity and must consult their own licensed legal, financial, and tax advisors before making any acquisition decision. Company expressly disclaims any liability arising from Client’s reliance on any information obtained through the Program or community forum.

Fees

The fee for the Program consists of a one-time onboarding and training fee as published on the Company’s website at the time of purchase, plus any applicable subscription or membership fees for continued forum access. All fees are due at the time of purchase. Subscriptions or memberships, if applicable, will automatically renew unless cancelled in accordance with the cancellation procedures posted on the Company’s website. Late payments may accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate allowed by applicable law.

Refund Policy

We want you to be satisfied with your purchase, but we also want you to give your best effort to apply some of the game-changing strategies and insights you’ll learn in the Program. We offer a 30-day refund period for purchases.

Client Responsibility; Non-Solicitation

The Program is developed for strictly educational purposes only. Client accepts and agrees that Client is 100% responsible for their progress and results from the Program. Company makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees verbally or in writing. Client understands that because of the nature of the Programs and extent, the results experienced by each client may significantly vary. Client acknowledges that as with any business endeavor, there is an inherent risk of loss of capital and there is no guarantee that Client will reach their goals as a result of participation in the Program. Program education and information is intended for a general audience and does not purport to be, nor should it be construed as, specific advice tailored to any individual. Company assumes no responsibility for errors or omissions that may appear in any program materials.

Client will not specifically solicit for hire or other business dealings (without the written consent of the CEO of Acquisition Lab) Company’s employees, agents, consultants, advisors, independent contractors, partners, coaches, directors, or anyone otherwise having an interest in employment or a business relationship; provided that nothing herein shall restrict or preclude the Client from doing, or hiring on the basis of, any of the following: (A) making generalized searches for employees by use of advertisements in the media (including trade media) or an independent employment agency (so long as it is not directed to solicit such persons), or (B) continuing ordinary course hiring practices that are not targeted specifically at anyone working at the Programs.

In the event of a dispute between Client and Company, Client agrees not to engage in any conduct or communications, public or private, designed to disparage the Programs or any associated individuals or entities.

COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM OR TOOLS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR CONTINUOUSLY AVAILABLE.

Severability / Waiver

If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force. The failure of either party to exercise any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of that right or any further rights hereunder.

Limitation of Liability

Client agrees they used Company’s services and Programs at their own risk and that Programs are only an educational service being provided. Client releases Company, its officers, employees, directors, subsidiaries, principals, agents, heirs, coaches, executors, administrators, successors, assigns, instructors, guides, staff, Participants, and related entities, as well as the venue where the Programs are being held (if applicable) and any of its owners, executives, agents, or staff (hereinafter “Releases”) from any and all damages that may result from any claims arising from any agreements, all actions, causes of action, contracts, claims, suits, costs, demands, and damages of whatever nature or kind in law or in equity arising from my participation in the Programs.

This cap applies in aggregate to all claims.

YOU CAN’T RECOVER ANY OTHER DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, LOST PROFITS, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE.

These limitations and exclusions apply if this remedy doesn’t fully compensate you for any losses or fails of its essential purpose, or if we knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages. To the maximum extent permitted by law, these limitations and exclusions apply to anything related to this Agreement, such as, without limitation, loss of content; any virus affecting your use of the Program; delays or failures in starting or completing transmissions or transactions; claims for breach of contract, warranty, guarantee, or condition; strict liability, negligence, misrepresentation, or omission; trespass, or other tort; violation of statute or regulation; or unjust enrichment. Some or all of these limitations or exclusions may not apply to you if your state, province, or country doesn’t allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential, or other damages.

IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILED ACQUISITION, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR SAVINGS, OR ANY SIMILAR ECONOMIC LOSS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR WHETHER COMPANY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR STRICT LIABILITY) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED.

Termination; Non-Disparagement

Company is committed to providing all clients in the Program with a positive Program experience. By purchasing a Program, Client agrees that the Company may, at its sole discretion and without cause, terminate this Agreement and limit, suspend, or terminate Client’s participation in the Program or community forum at any time, with or without notice and without refund, for any reason in our discretion, including but not limited to: Client becoming disruptive to Company or other Participants; Client failing to follow Program or community guidelines; Client engaging in conduct harmful to the Program, other Participants, or the integrity of the community forum; or any violation of these Terms as determined by Company in its sole and absolute discretion.
