Terms of Service

DealLens is an educational analysis and screening tool for prospective small-business buyers. We accept business listing data, run deterministic financial calculations on it, and generate AI-assisted screening output (a deal memo, red-flag list, learner explanations, and chat-based research).

DealLens is not an investment, legal, tax, accounting, or financial advisor. We are not registered as a broker-dealer, investment adviser, business broker, attorney, accountant, lender, or any other licensed professional in any jurisdiction. Nothing on the Services is a recommendation to buy, sell, or take any other action with respect to any business, asset, or transaction. Use of the Services does not create a fiduciary, attorney-client, accountant-client, broker-client, or any other professional relationship between you and DealLens.

By using the Services, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for your acquisition decisions and that, before signing any letter of intent, purchase agreement, or financing document, you will conduct independent due diligence and consult with a licensed CPA, attorney, business broker, lender, and any other professional appropriate to your transaction.

1. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and the email used to sign in. We cannot be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to do so.
2. You must be a human. Accounts registered by bots or automated methods are not permitted.
3. You are responsible for all content posted under your account and all activity that occurs under your account.
4. You may not use the Services in any way that would reasonably subject DealLens to regulation as a broker-dealer, investment adviser, business broker, lender, or other licensed entity in any jurisdiction.

1. The free tier is genuinely free — no credit card required. It includes a limited number of analyses per calendar month.
2. Pro subscriptions are billed monthly through Stripe and renew automatically until you cancel. Pricing is shown on the upgrade screen at the time of purchase.
3. If you cancel before the end of your current paid month, the cancellation takes effect at the end of that billing period; we don’t prorate unused time.
4. All fees are exclusive of taxes. Where required by law we’ll collect and remit those taxes; otherwise you’re responsible for them.
5. If a charge is made in error, contact us within 30 days at support@deallens.fyi and we’ll work it out.

1. You may cancel your account at any time from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
2. Saved analyses become inaccessible immediately on account deletion. We purge content from active systems within 30 days and from backups within 60 days. We can’t recover content after that.
3. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account for any reason. We use this clause sparingly — to stop abuse, fraud, attempted regulatory violations, or any use that could expose other customers or DealLens to harm.
4. Verbal, written, or other abuse of any DealLens employee or contractor will result in immediate account termination.

1. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue any part of the Services, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice. We’ll do our best to give notice for material changes that affect saved analyses.
2. If we change pricing for existing customers, we’ll give at least 30 days notice via email.

1. Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. We provide them on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not offer formal service-level agreements.
2. We take reasonable measures to protect your data — TLS in transit, encryption at rest, row-level security on every database table, signed webhooks, and rate limiting. No system is perfectly secure; report suspected vulnerabilities to security@deallens.fyi.
3. You agree that DealLens may process your data as described in our Privacy Policy and for no other purpose. The Privacy Policy lists every third-party processor that handles your data, including the AI model providers used to generate analysis output.

A core part of the Services uses large language models and other automated systems to generate analytical output. You acknowledge and agree that:

• AI output can be plausible-sounding but incorrect (“hallucinations”), can reflect biases in training data, and may misinterpret or omit information from listings or your inputs.
• AI output is generated from the data you provide and from public sources at the time of generation; it may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong.
• You are responsible for evaluating AI-generated output before relying on it. Treat it as a starting point for analysis, never as a conclusion. Verify every figure against primary source documents (tax returns, financial statements, leases, contracts).
• Listing content and questions you submit are sent to our AI model providers as part of generating output. See the Privacy Policy for the current list of providers and their data-handling terms.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OUTPUT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR PURPOSES, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT DEALLENS, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND CONTRACTORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, LOST PROFITS, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES — EVEN IF DEALLENS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES — RESULTING FROM (i) THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES; (ii) ANY ACQUISITION OR INVESTMENT DECISION YOU MAKE WHETHER OR NOT INFORMED BY THE SERVICES; (iii) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR DATA; (iv) STATEMENTS OR CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICES; OR (v) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES.

IN ANY CASE, OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE FEES YOU PAID TO DEALLENS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

In plain English: choosing to use DealLens means you’re betting on screening analysis as one input among several to your acquisition decision. If the bet doesn’t work out, that’s on you — not us. We do our best to deserve your trust by being clear about what the tool is and is not, and by reminding you throughout the product to verify with licensed professionals.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DealLens from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Services, your acquisition decisions, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Delaware, or remotely if you request it. You and DealLens each waive any right to a jury trial and any right to participate in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court.

1. You retain ownership of the listing data and questions you submit. You grant DealLens a limited license to use that content to provide the Services to you.
2. DealLens or its licensors own all right, title, and interest in the Services, including all software, design, and prompts. You may not duplicate, copy, scrape, or reuse any portion of the Services without our written permission.
3. If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, send a notice meeting the requirements of the DMCA to legal@deallens.fyi.
