Terms for Owner Listings
These terms apply when you create a business profile on AcqScout. Creating a profile means you accept them.
What AcqScout is
AcqScout is a free directory of online businesses. We are not a marketplace or a broker. We take no fee on any sale, hold no funds, handle no offers, and negotiate nothing. Any deal is between you and the other party.
AcqScout is a referral partner of Empire Flippers and may earn a referral fee from Empire Flippers when someone we refer uses its services. Profiles link to Empire Flippers. Empire Flippers decides which businesses it accepts, and a profile here does not mean it will accept yours.
Your profile
You may only list a business you own or are authorized to represent. You must be able to receive email at the address you give us.
What you submit must be accurate, and you must keep it accurate. You are responsible for it. Do not list anything illegal, misleading, adult, or prohibited, or anything that infringes someone else's rights.
You let us display, store, and share what you submit as part of running the directory, including in search results. Stealth mode hides your business name and URL on your public profile. Your other details and numbers can still appear.
Numbers and valuations
We do not verify self-reported numbers. They are shown as reported by owner.
Valuation ranges are estimates based on asking prices on live Empire Flippers listings. They are not appraisals, sale prices, offers, or financial advice.
Automated review and removal
Submissions are checked by automated systems, including AI review. No person reviews them. A profile can be held back, or changed back to unpublished, if it does not pass.
A profile can be hidden automatically when several people report it. We will email you if that happens. It comes back automatically if you confirm it through your edit link and it passes automated review again.
We can also remove any profile or refuse any submission.
Buyer inquiries
If you mark your business as open to selling, buyers can contact you through a form on your profile. We email their message to you and do not show your email address on the page. If you reply, the buyer will see your email address. We do not check buyers, and we are not part of any conversation you have with them.
Your data
We store your email address, your profile, and your numbers, and we use service providers to host data, send email, and run automated review. We use your email address to verify you, send your edit links, forward inquiries, and tell you about your profile, including when your numbers may qualify for Empire Flippers.
You can delete your profile at any time through your edit link. Deleting it permanently removes the profile, its numbers, and its buyer inquiries from the directory. If it was your last profile, your owner record is removed too. Emails already sent are not recalled.
No guarantees
The directory is provided as is. We do not promise that it will be available, that your profile will rank, or that anyone will contact you. To the extent the law allows, AcqScout is not liable for losses arising from your use of the directory or from any dealings with buyers.
Changes
We may change these terms. If you keep your profile up after a change, the new terms apply to it.
