Terms of Use

1. About these Terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and ACQUIREMAN PRIVATE LIMITED (CIN U66190UW2026PTC251071), registered office G-268, Beta-2, Alpha Greater Noida, Noida, Gautam Buddha Nagar – 201310, Uttar Pradesh, India (“Acquireman”, “we”, “us”). They govern your access to and use of www.acquireman.com, Acquireman AI, onboarding, KYC, NDA and data-room features and related services (the “Platform”).

By creating an account, clicking to accept, or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Cookie Policy and, if you use Acquireman AI, the Acquireman AI Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

If you use the Platform for a company, fund or other organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to accept these Terms on its behalf, and “you” includes that organisation.

These Terms are an electronic record under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the rules made under it, and are published in accordance with Rule 3(1) of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021. They do not require a physical or digital signature.

2. Definitions

• “Listing” means a business-sale, M&A, fundraising or early-investment opportunity presented on the Platform.
• “Lister” means a seller, founder or company (or its authorised representative) that provides a Listing.
• “Buyer” or “Investor” means a user who reviews Listings with a view to acquiring or investing.
• “Confidential Information” means non-public information made available through the Platform, including data-room documents, financials, customer and employee information and the identity of a Lister where it has not been made public.
• “Data Room” means the gated area in which a Lister shares documents with approved users.
• “User Content” means any information, documents or material you submit to the Platform.

3. What Acquireman is — and is not

Unless we have agreed otherwise in a separate written agreement, Acquireman does not:

• act as a broker, dealer, agent, merchant banker, underwriter or intermediary in any securities transaction;
• act as an investment adviser, research analyst, portfolio manager or registered valuer, or provide legal, tax, accounting, valuation or investment advice;
• make, solicit or arrange any public offer of securities. A Listing is not an offer, invitation or solicitation to buy or sell securities and is not a prospectus or private-placement offer letter;
• hold, custody, transfer or settle money, securities, tokens or virtual assets for anyone;
• operate as a virtual asset service provider, exchange, alternative investment fund or crowdfunding platform; or
• guarantee that any Listing is accurate, that any transaction will complete, or any return on investment.

You are responsible for making sure that any offer, investment or acquisition you make or receive complies with the laws that apply to you — including, where relevant, the Companies Act, 2013 (including private-placement rules), the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, SEBI regulations, competition law, and securities and anti-money-laundering laws in other jurisdictions. Some opportunities may be available only to investors who meet certain eligibility criteria.

4. Eligibility

• You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract.
• You must not be a person with whom dealings are prohibited by applicable sanctions laws, or use the Platform from a country where doing so would be unlawful.
• You must give accurate and complete information and keep it up to date.

5. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details confidential and for all activity under your account. Tell us immediately at contact@acquireman.com if you suspect unauthorised access. We may require you to reset your password or verify your identity to protect the Platform.

6. Verification, NDAs and access to deals

To protect Listers and their confidential information, access to certain Listings and Data Rooms may require identity verification (KYC), acceptance of a non-disclosure agreement (“NDA”) and approval by us or the Lister. We may approve, refuse, limit or withdraw access at our reasonable discretion, including for risk, compliance or integrity reasons.

Verification helps reduce risk but is not a guarantee of anyone’s identity, authority, financial capacity or intentions. You must carry out your own checks on any counterparty.

7. Listings and User Content

If you are a Lister

You confirm that:

• you own the business or are authorised by its owners and board to list it and share its information;
• your Listing and Data Room content is accurate, complete and not misleading, and you will promptly correct anything that changes;
• sharing the content does not breach any law, confidentiality obligation, data-protection law or third-party right; and
• you have a lawful basis, and have given any notices required, to share any personal data contained in your content (for example, employee or customer data). You should share personal data in a Data Room only where necessary and, where possible, anonymise it.

Licence to Acquireman

You keep ownership of your User Content. You give Acquireman a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, format, display and share your User Content to operate the Platform, market your Listing as you have agreed, and make introductions — and only with the audiences and access controls you have agreed. This licence ends when you remove the content, except for copies we must keep by law or for records of signed NDAs and agreements.

Our role

We are not responsible for User Content and do not verify every statement. We may (but are not obliged to) review, edit for format, decline or remove any Listing or content that we believe breaches these Terms or the law.

8. Confidentiality

If you receive Confidential Information through the Platform, you must:

• use it only to evaluate the specific opportunity it relates to;
• not disclose it to anyone except your own advisers, financiers and employees who need to know it and are bound by equivalent confidentiality duties;
• not contact a Lister’s employees, customers or suppliers about the opportunity without the Lister’s consent; and
• return or destroy it when asked or when you stop evaluating the opportunity.

Any NDA you sign for a specific Listing also applies and prevails over this section if it is stricter. These duties continue after you stop using the Platform.

9. Fair dealing and non-circumvention

If you have signed a listing, engagement or fee agreement with Acquireman, you must not use the Platform to identify a counterparty and then deliberately bypass Acquireman to avoid fees or obligations under that agreement. The terms of the relevant agreement apply.

10. Acquireman AI

Acquireman AI is an automated tool that provides general information. Its output can be wrong and is not professional advice. Your use of it is also governed by the Acquireman AI Terms, which form part of these Terms.

11. Advisory, incubation and other services

Advisory, incubation or other professional services offered by Acquireman are provided only under a separate written engagement, which will set out the scope, fees and terms. Where we introduce you to independent professionals (such as lawyers, accountants or valuers), they are not our agents and their services are provided under their own terms.

12. Prohibited conduct

You must not host, display, upload, share or transmit any information that:

1. belongs to another person and to which you have no right;
2. is obscene, pornographic, paedophilic, invasive of another’s privacy (including bodily privacy), insulting or harassing on the basis of gender, racially or ethnically objectionable, relates to or encourages money laundering or gambling, or promotes enmity between groups on grounds of religion or caste with intent to incite violence;
3. is harmful to children;
4. infringes any patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary right;
5. deceives or misleads about its origin, or knowingly and intentionally communicates misinformation or information that is patently false or misleading;
6. impersonates another person;
7. threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security or sovereignty of India, friendly relations with foreign States or public order, incites any cognisable offence, prevents investigation of any offence or insults another nation;
8. contains a software virus or any other code designed to interrupt, destroy or limit any computer resource;
9. is an online game, or an advertisement or promotion of one, that is not permitted under applicable law; or
10. violates any law for the time being in force.

You also must not:

• misrepresent your identity, authority, ownership of a business or financial capacity;
• post fraudulent, misleading or unlawful Listings or offers, or use the Platform for money laundering or sanctions evasion;
• bypass or attempt to bypass KYC, NDA, Data Room or other access controls, or share your access with others;
• scrape, copy, harvest or bulk-download Listings, user data or Data Room content, or use bots or automated tools without our written permission;
• probe, scan or test the Platform’s security, reverse engineer it, or interfere with its operation;
• use the Platform to send spam or unsolicited promotions to other users.

We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that breach this section, and report unlawful activity to the authorities.

13. Intellectual property

The Platform, including its software, design, text, graphics, logos, the “Acquireman” name and Acquireman AI, is owned by or licensed to Acquireman and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Platform for its intended purpose under these Terms. Any feedback you give us may be used freely without obligation to you.

14. Third-party services and links

The Platform uses or links to third-party services (for example Google sign-in, Calendly, Telegram and social networks). Your use of them is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them.

15. Fees

Browsing the Platform and using Acquireman AI are currently free. Fees for listing, success-based or advisory services (if any) are set out in a separate written agreement or order form, are exclusive of applicable taxes (including GST) unless stated otherwise, and, to the extent permitted by law, are non-refundable unless that agreement says otherwise.

16. Disclaimers

The Platform and all Listings, content and AI output are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Acquireman disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, or that any Listing is accurate or any transaction will complete. You must carry out your own independent due diligence and take your own professional advice.

17. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Acquireman and its directors, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or business opportunity, or for any loss arising from a transaction between users or from reliance on any Listing or AI output.

Our total liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Platform or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the fees you paid to Acquireman in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim and (b) INR 10,000.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for fraud, or your rights as a consumer where applicable.

18. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold Acquireman and its directors, employees and agents harmless from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from your User Content, your use of the Platform, any transaction you enter into, or your breach of these Terms, any NDA or the law.

19. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Platform and ask us to close your account at any time through our Data Deletion & Privacy Requests page.

We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, pose a risk to other users or to Acquireman, or if required by law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity and governing law) will survive.

20. Grievances and notices

If you have a complaint about the Platform, any content on it, or a breach of these Terms, contact our Grievance Officer:

We will acknowledge complaints within 24 hours and resolve them within 15 days of receipt. Requests to remove content that breaches the prohibited-content list above will be acted on as quickly as possible and, where the IT Rules, 2021 require, within 72 hours. Complaints about content that exposes a person’s private area, shows them in full or partial nudity or in a sexual act, or impersonates them (including morphed images) will be acted on within 24 hours.

Legal notices to Acquireman must be sent by email to contact@acquireman.com and by post to our registered office. We may send notices to you by email or through the Platform.

21. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India.

The parties will first try in good faith to resolve any dispute through discussion for 30 days. Any dispute not resolved will be finally settled by arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, by a sole arbitrator appointed by mutual agreement (or, failing agreement, in accordance with that Act). The seat and venue of arbitration will be New Delhi, and the proceedings will be in English.

Subject to the above, the courts at New Delhi will have exclusive jurisdiction, including for interim or urgent relief. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief to protect Confidential Information or intellectual property.

22. General

• Changes. We may update these Terms. We will show the new effective date on this page and, for material changes, notify you by email or on the Platform before they take effect. Continued use after that date means you accept the updated Terms.
• Entire agreement. These Terms, the policies referred to in them, and any NDA or separate agreement you sign with us are the entire agreement on their subject. If there is a conflict, the separately signed agreement prevails.
• Severability. If any provision is held invalid, the rest remains in effect.
• No waiver. A failure or delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of our business.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
