Terms of service

1. Intermediary only, venue only

TrustExits provides a venue only. It acts solely as an intermediary platform that facilitates introductions, communications, verified data, and escrow coordination between buyers and sellers. {siteName} is not a party to, and has no control over, any transaction, agreement, or contract between users, the content of listings, or the conduct of users. {siteName} does not act as a broker of record, agent, mandatary, fiduciary, or adviser for either side, and nothing in these terms or in the use of the platform creates an agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchise relationship between {siteName} and any user.

2. Scope of certification, data integrity posture

Our certification and transparency score cover exclusively the data read from the seller's connected platforms (financial flows and traffic). We do not verify accounting, tax, or social matters, and we do not detect hidden liabilities such as unpaid social contributions, tax debt, or a hidden search engine penalty.

TrustExits is a data integrity layer: we certify what the connected APIs report, at the point in time when they are read, not the soundness of the business. A verification is a summary reading of seller-connected data; it is not an audit, and it can become outdated the day after it is made. We are not a notary, not an auditor, and not a broker of record. We confirm that the documents are in order and the parties are identified. We do not confirm that the business is sound. All non-API information is seller-stated, and {siteName} bears no responsibility if data stated by the seller proves inaccurate. Buyers are solely responsible for their own due diligence and acknowledge they must request proof of the absence of social and tax liabilities before signing the APA (caveat emptor). {siteName} takes no responsibility for fraud, misstatement, hidden liabilities, or loss.

2b. Seller declarations

Before a listing goes live and inside the APA, the seller must declare on their honor the absence of social liabilities, tax debt, and pending litigation tied to the asset. These declarations are between seller and buyer and survive closing. They give the buyer written grounds to pursue the seller directly if a declaration proves false. TrustExits forces the declaration; it does not verify it and is never a party to it.

2c. No warranty, services provided as is

The platform, its verifications, scores, valuations, estimates, reports, and all content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including without limitation any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law. TrustExits does not warrant that any listing will sell, that any valuation or estimate reflects a price actually obtainable, or that the platform will be uninterrupted or error-free. Nothing on the platform is investment, legal, tax, or financial advice.

3. Deals close on the platform

Sellers remain free to list their business elsewhere: TrustExits is non-exclusive. However, any transaction concluded between a buyer and a seller who were introduced through {siteName}, whether on or off the platform, and whether concluded directly or through an interposed person or entity, owes the platform fee if it closes within 12 months of the introduction. Completing such a deal off-platform without prior written approval constitutes circumvention. Because the harm caused by circumvention is difficult to quantify, the parties agree that deliberate circumvention makes the circumventing user liable for liquidated damages equal to three times the platform fee that would have applied to the transaction, this being a genuine pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty, in addition to account suspension or termination. Attribution follows the first qualified lead per buyer and listing.

4. Escrow, deposits and transfer

Escrow is handled by Escrow.com, an independent, licensed escrow provider, under its own terms of service, which apply to every escrow transaction. TrustExits never holds, controls, or has access to funds held in escrow, including reservation deposits agreed inside a deal room, which also run through Escrow.com under the same rules. Escrow.com performs its own identity and anti-money-laundering checks. The transfer of assets after a sale is the sole responsibility of the buyer and seller. {siteName} does not mediate, arbitrate, or resolve disputes between users; escrow disputes follow Escrow.com's own process.

5. Legal templates and electronic signatures

Any LOI, NDA, or asset purchase agreement templates are provided as a convenience only, with no warranty as to legal sufficiency or enforceability. They are not legal advice. Consult your own counsel. By using the platform's signature tool, you consent to transact electronically and agree that your electronic signature is intended to bind you to the signed document, in accordance with the U.S. ESIGN Act and UETA. TrustExits provides the signature tool as a convenience; the signed documents bind the buyer and the seller only, and {siteName} does not warrant their enforceability between the parties.

5b. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Luminadeus LLC and its officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, opportunity, or data, arising out of or related to the platform or any transaction between users, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. The total aggregate liability of {entity} for all claims arising out of or related to the platform shall not exceed the greater of the total fees you paid to TrustExits in the 12 months preceding the claim, or 500 USD. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including liability for {entity}'s own fraud.

5c. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Luminadeus LLC and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: your listings and their content, your declarations, your breach of these terms, your violation of any law or the rights of a third party, or any transaction you enter into with another user.

6. Fees

One 8% closing fee is paid by the seller, all-in with an $800 minimum, taken inside escrow at closing; the Escrow.com fee is included and buyers pay TrustExits nothing. Founding offer: the first 50 listings close at 5% flat ($500 minimum), locked for the life of the listing. Listing tier purchases and add-ons (including the Featured placement) are one-time, non-refundable, and purchase visibility only: they are never a guarantee that a listing will sell, nor an endorsement of the listing by {siteName}.

7. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to first send a written description of the dispute to TrustExits and to attempt in good faith to resolve it informally for 30 days. Any dispute with {siteName} that is not resolved informally shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration; you and {siteName} each waive the right to a trial by jury and the right to participate in a class action. Any claim against {siteName} must be notified to {siteName} within one year of the event giving rise to it, after which it is waived to the extent permitted by law. Users are responsible for their own tax and legal obligations in their jurisdiction.
