1. Acceptance
By accessing or using Your Exit Path (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms. If you’re using the Service on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to bind that company. If you don’t agree, don’t use the Service.
2. What the Service is — and isn’t
Your Exit Path provides machine-calculated business-valuation estimates, exit-readiness scores, sellability grades, buyer-fit analyses, exit-planning content, a directory of M&A advisors and brokers, consultation booking, an owner dashboard for tracking progress, and a buyer deal room for transactions the owner opts to run through us.
Every number the Service produces is a machine-calculated estimate, not an appraisal. Valuations, readiness scores, sellability grades, buyer-fit scores, net-proceeds estimates, and every other engineered output are directional, based on industry norms and the inputs you provide. They are not a substitute for a professional business valuation, quality-of-earnings analysis, fairness opinion, or licensed advisor engagement. Actual transaction outcomes vary widely.
Before any real-world decision, an experienced M&A advisor will validate the numbers with a full document review. Book a consultation from any results page and the advisor will walk you through what applies to your business.
Nothing on the Service is legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice. Always work with licensed professionals for material decisions.
3. Accounts & automatic sign-in
When you submit a tool form, request matches, or book a consultation, we automatically create an account tied to the email you provide and sign you in on that device for 7 days (temporary session). We’ll also email you a magic link; clicking it verifies your mailbox and upgrades your session to the standard 30-day cookie. You are responsible for keeping the magic link and the device you signed in on secure. Notify us immediately at security@yourexitpath.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
You are responsible for the accuracy of everything you submit. Do not submit information you do not have the right to submit.
4. Third-party advisors, brokers, and buyers
The Service may introduce you to M&A advisors, business brokers, buyers, capital providers, and other third parties. We do not warrant their services. Any engagement, mandate, NDA, letter of intent, purchase agreement, or other relationship you form with a third party is separate from your relationship with Your Exit Path, and we are not responsible for the outcome of those relationships. Read every document before signing.
5. Share links — acceptable use
The matches page at /matches/<your-id> is password-protected once you set a password from the Share settings panel in your dashboard. When you share the link and password with a third party, you agree that:
- You will only share it with people you affirmatively want to see your matches (co-owner, spouse, accountant, attorney). Do not post the URL or password publicly.
- You are responsible for the recipients’ use of the information. Rotate the password immediately if a recipient no longer needs access — the previous unlock cookie will be invalidated.
- We may throttle or revoke share links that show signs of abuse (mass distribution, credential stuffing, automated access).
6. Deal room & NDAs
If your advisor invites you to a deal room, or you request buyer access to a listing, you agree to any NDA presented at that step. NDA acceptance is recorded with your name, email, company, and timestamp. Do not download, print, or share deal-room documents outside the scope of the NDA. Suspected NDA violations may result in immediate access revocation and, at our option, notification of the listing owner and the advisor.
7. Fees
The marketing pages, Exit Calculator, standalone tools, Get-Matched flow, and owner dashboard are free. Some features (deal room, buyer marketplace, advisor tools) are subscription-based; pricing is shown on the relevant page. We may modify pricing on 30 days’ notice.
8. Intellectual property
We retain all rights to the Service, including the software, content, methodology, valuation and readiness models, and design. You retain all rights to the data you submit. You grant us a limited license to use your data to provide the Service and, in aggregated / de-identified form, to improve our models — as described in our privacy policy.
9. Prohibited use
You will not:
- Scrape, harvest, crawl, or otherwise systematically extract data from the Service, including via headless browsers, automation frameworks, or reverse-proxied third-party tools. Reasonable rate limits apply to all endpoints; we reserve the right to block IPs or accounts that exceed them.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the valuation model, readiness model, matching engine, or any other proprietary component.
- Circumvent, disable, or interfere with access controls, including the share-link password gate, deal-room access controls, admin authentication, and rate limits.
- Use the Service to send unsolicited commercial communications or to distribute malware or phishing content.
- Upload content that infringes third-party rights, is unlawful, defamatory, or misrepresents your business.
- Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation.
- Submit machine-generated inputs (LLM-fabricated financials, fake company data) — the models don’t know they are fake and the resulting output is worthless.
10. Warranty disclaimer
The Service is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. In particular, we do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any machine-calculated output — valuation ranges, readiness scores, sellability grades, buyer-fit estimates, net-proceeds calculations, or match lists. These outputs are engineered estimates and must be validated by a qualified advisor before use.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Your Exit Path and its affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, goodwill, or data. Our aggregate liability for any claims arising out of or related to the Service will not exceed the fees you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim (or US$100, whichever is greater).
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Your Exit Path, its officers, employees, and affiliates against any claims arising out of your breach of these Terms, your submission of inaccurate or unauthorized information, or your misuse of the Service.
13. Suspension & termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time by emailing privacy@yourexitpath.com from your account address. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if:
- You breach these Terms.
- We reasonably believe your account is being used for fraud, scraping, credential stuffing, or other abuse.
- We are required to do so by law or a court order.
- We discontinue the Service in whole or in part (with reasonable notice for paid tiers).
Sections that by their nature survive termination — IP, warranty disclaimer, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, dispute resolution — continue to apply.
14. Governing law & dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidential information.
Before filing a lawsuit, the party with the claim will send a detailed written notice to the other party and give 60 days to resolve the dispute in good faith.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. For material changes, we’ll notify you by email and update the “last updated” date. Continued use after the update means you accept the revised Terms. If you don’t accept, stop using the Service and, if you like, email us to have your account deleted.
