DealLoupe — Terms of Service

Operated by Ameclarity LLC, a Florida limited liability company · Last updated: November 6, 2026

1. Who we are and what these Terms cover

DealLoupe ("DealLoupe", "Service") is operated by Ameclarity LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("Ameclarity", "we", "us", "our"). Our mailing address is 14025 Clear Water Ln, Fort Myers, FL 33907. You can reach us at ameclarity@gmail.com.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Ameclarity LLC. They apply to the DealLoupe website, the DealLoupe application, the reports we produce, and everything else we make available under the DealLoupe name.

By creating an account, uploading a document, or using any part of the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" means both you and that entity.

2. What DealLoupe is — and what it is not

What it is. DealLoupe is an automated pre-screen for a small-business acquisition. You answer a structured questionnaire about the deal and upload documents the seller or broker has given you. DealLoupe reads those documents, runs a fixed set of calculations, compares what it finds against a published methodology, and produces a report that identifies risk flags, tells you which of your conclusions the documents do and do not support, lists the documents that are still missing, and gives you specific questions to ask the seller and the specialists you hire.

DealLoupe is a first filter. Its purpose is to help you decide whether a deal is worth the cost of full professional due diligence.

The free Listing Screen. The Service also includes a free Listing Screen. You supply a broker listing — by pasting its text or, for supported platforms, by giving us its address so that we retrieve that one page at your request — and the Service extracts the facts the listing states, shows them to you for correction, and, once you have created an account, produces a short screen: the main risk, a small number of flags, and a personal list of documents to request from the seller. Every number in a listing screen comes from the listing itself — the seller's and broker's own claims — and none has been verified against any document. Everything in this Section 2 applies to a listing screen with the same force as to a paid report. Fair-use limits on free listing screens are stated in the application.

What it is not. You acknowledge and agree that the Service:

• is not legal advice, and we are not a law firm and do not provide legal services;
• is not accounting or audit services. We are not a certified public accounting firm. No part of the Service is an audit, review, compilation, examination, or any other attestation or assurance engagement performed under standards of the AICPA or any other professional body, and no report we produce is a Quality of Earnings report;
• is not tax advice;
• is not investment advice and is not a recommendation to buy, sell, hold, finance, or price any business, asset, security, or interest;
• is not business brokerage or M&A advisory. We do not represent buyers or sellers in transactions, do not negotiate on your behalf, and receive no compensation that depends on whether a transaction closes;
• is not offered by, through, or on behalf of any broker-dealer, and nothing in the Service constitutes an offer, solicitation, or recommendation with respect to any security;
• is not a consumer report or investigative consumer report, and Ameclarity is not a consumer reporting agency, under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act or any comparable state law. You may not use the Service or any report for any purpose regulated by those laws, including determining eligibility for credit, insurance, employment, housing, or government benefits, or for screening or background-checking any individual;
• is not a substitute for your own certified public accountant, attorney, lender, insurance broker, or a formal Quality of Earnings review; and
• does not verify, certify, audit, validate, endorse, or guarantee any business, seller, broker, document, or statement.

No professional relationship. DealLoupe is not your attorney, accountant, financial adviser, or fiduciary. No attorney-client or accountant-client relationship, and no professional privilege, is created by your use of the Service — including by anything you type into its interfaces or upload to it — and the Service owes you no fiduciary duty. Where a report suggests consulting a professional, and where you invite a professional into a workspace, that professional acts for you under your own engagement with them, not for us.

Your decision is yours. DealLoupe tells you what the documents you provided do and do not support, and what to ask next. Every decision to pursue, price, finance, renegotiate, or abandon a transaction is yours alone.

3. Eligibility and your account

To use the Service you must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. You agree to provide accurate registration information, to keep it current, and to keep your credentials confidential. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account.

We may refuse, suspend, or close an account at our discretion, including where we reasonably believe these Terms have been broken.

4. Deal workspaces and the people you invite

4.1 One workspace, one deal. The Service organizes work into deal workspaces. A workspace holds one deal — one business you are evaluating — together with its documents and every version of its report.

4.2 Roles, and what each may do. You may invite people into a workspace by email address at a defined access level:

Inviting people is free. We do not charge for participants, and the number of people in a workspace does not change the fee for the deal. The limits on partners and analysts exist so that responsibility for uploaded material stays traceable, not to sell additional access.

4.3 Everyone you invite accepts these Terms. When you invite someone, we send the invitation automatically by email to the address you name. It carries a personal link tied to that address and valid for fourteen (14) days. To accept, the person must prove control of that address with a one-time code or sign-in link we send to it, and accept the invitation within thirty (30) minutes of doing so. A person you invite must accept these Terms before they can view or upload anything. Their own use of the Service is governed by these Terms.

4.4 You remain responsible. You confirm that you are entitled to share the workspace contents with each person you invite, and that you have any consent required to give us their email address. You are responsible for material uploaded to your workspace by anyone you invite as if you had uploaded it yourself, including the representations in Section 5.3.

4.5 Removing someone. You may withdraw an invitation at any time. Documents already uploaded to the workspace remain part of that deal and remain subject to your instructions, not theirs.

5. Your documents and your rights in them

5.1 You keep ownership. You keep all right, title, and interest in the documents, answers, and other material you provide ("Your Content"). We claim no ownership of Your Content.

5.2 The limited license you give us. You grant Ameclarity a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit, display, and process Your Content solely to operate the Service for you and the people you invite — including passing document text to the third-party processors named in our Privacy Policy — and to keep backups. The license does not permit us to use Your Content to train AI models (Section 5.4), to provide services to any other customer, or to publish it. This license exists only so we can run the Service. It ends when Your Content is deleted, subject to backup cycles described in the Privacy Policy.

5.3 What you promise about what you upload. Deal documents usually belong to someone else. You represent and warrant that, for everything you upload, you have the right to upload it and to have it processed as described in these Terms, and that doing so does not breach any non-disclosure agreement, confidentiality obligation, license, or law that applies to you.

Do not upload material you are not permitted to share with a third-party service provider. If you are unsure whether an NDA with a seller or broker allows it, ask the counterparty or your attorney first.

5.4 We do not train AI models on Your Content. We do not use Your Content to train, fine-tune, or improve any artificial-intelligence model, and we do not permit our AI provider to do so. We use a single provider across the whole Service, on paid commercial terms under which data submitted through its interface is not used to train its models.

5.5 What we may learn from operating the Service. We may collect and use aggregated, de-identified statistics about how the Service performs — for example, how often a category of document fails to parse — provided that such statistics do not identify you, your deal, or any business you analyze, and are not derived from the substance of Your Content.

6. AI-generated output

Reports are generated by software, including artificial-intelligence models. You acknowledge that:

• a report is one input into your decision, not the sole basis for it;
• AI systems can be wrong, can miss material information, and can misread a document;
• a report reflects only the documents and answers actually provided, which may be incomplete, outdated, altered, or false;
• we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any output; and
• you should independently verify anything material before you act on it, including with the professionals a report tells you to consult.

Where a report states a numeric result, it also states the inputs used and the source of each input. Where it lacks an input, it says so rather than estimating. That design does not make an output a verified fact.

7. Fees, the founding round, and our satisfaction promise

7.1 What you buy, and the price. The unit we sell is a deal: one business you are evaluating. A DealLoupe pre-screen is $597 per deal, flat, and covers that deal however many documents you upload and however many people you invite. Fees are stated in US dollars and are exclusive of any applicable taxes, which you are responsible for.

Three deals bought together. You may instead buy a pack of three (3) pre-screens for $1,197, paid in full at the time of purchase, which works out at $399 per deal. A pack contains the same product on every deal: nothing that is included in a deal bought singly is excluded from a deal used out of a pack.

The deals in a pack are used one at a time. Each deal you start from a pack opens its own ninety-day period under Section 7.2, counted from the day you start that deal. You must start all three deals within twelve (12) months of the date of purchase. A pack is personal to the account that bought it: the deals in it are for businesses you are evaluating, may not be transferred to another person or account, and may not be resold.

The Listing Screen (Section 2) is free. It is not a pre-screen, it does not start the ninety-day period in Section 7.2, and it becomes a full pre-screen only when you purchase one under this Section.

7.2 How long a deal stays open. For ninety (90) days from the date you first request analysis of a deal, you may upload further documents about that deal and re-run the analysis, subject to the fair-use limits stated in the application at the time.

After ninety days we may make the deal read-only. You and everyone you invited keep access to every version of the report already produced and may export it, subject to the retention periods in our Privacy Policy, but no further documents may be added and no further analysis run for that deal.

7.3 Deal Room. Deal Room is a subscription we plan to offer. It is not on sale yet, and nothing in these Terms entitles you to it. Before it goes on sale we will publish its price and terms, and you will agree to them separately when you subscribe.

7.4 The founding round. During our founding round, while places remain among the first fifty (50), your first pre-screen is provided free of charge and no payment card is required. The free pre-screen does not depend on anything you do after it is delivered. You may buy further pre-screens under Section 7.1 once you have had your first.

Any further offer to founding-round participants is made personally, inside the participant's account, and its terms are stated there before you accept it. We do not publish your name or a quotation from you without your separate written permission; if you give it, we will identify you alongside the quotation as a founding-round participant.

We may end or change the founding round at any time. Ending it does not affect a pre-screen already accepted for processing.

7.5 Payment. The fee is charged when you buy, in full. A pre-screen you buy is held on your account, and one is used when you first run the analysis on a new deal. A pre-screen bought singly must also be started within twelve (12) months of purchase. If the law of your state gives you a longer period or other rights in a prepaid purchase, that law applies. Payment is taken through our payment processor, Stripe; we do not receive or store your full payment card details.

7.6 Price changes. We may change our prices. A change does not affect a pre-screen you have already paid for.

7.7 Our seven-day promise. If a report is not worth acting on, tell us at ameclarity@gmail.com within seven (7) days of delivery. We will re-run the analysis or correct the report — and if that does not satisfy you, or you would rather not wait, we will refund in full what you paid for that pre-screen, at your request.

If the report in question is the first one delivered from a pack bought under Section 7.1, that full refund is the fee for that first report ($399) plus the deals in that pack you have not yet started, at $399 each.

Refunds go back to the original payment method. This promise is about the quality of a report, and it is not a guarantee of any outcome in your transaction, of any financing decision, or of any result with a seller, lender, or advisor.

7.8 Free reports. A free pre-screen carries the same promise to re-run the analysis or correct the report, but there is no fee to refund.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service for any unlawful purpose, or for any purpose prohibited by Section 2 (including any FCRA-regulated purpose);
• upload material you have no right to upload, or that contains malware;
• upload documents concerning a business or individual where your purpose is to harass, defame, or harm them rather than to evaluate a transaction you are genuinely considering;
• resell, sublicense, or redistribute reports outside the deal they were produced for, or hold a report out as your own work product to a third party without saying it came from DealLoupe;
• attempt to reverse engineer, extract, or reconstruct our methodology, prompts, models, or knowledge base, or use the Service to build a competing product;
• probe, scan, or circumvent authentication, rate limits, or usage limits; or
• use automated means to access the Service other than as we expressly permit.

9. Our intellectual property

The Service, the DealLoupe name and marks, the software, the methodology, the knowledge base, the calculators, the report formats, and all related materials are owned by Ameclarity or its licensors. Except for the license in Section 10, nothing in these Terms transfers any right in them to you.

10. Your license to the reports

Subject to your payment of applicable fees and to these Terms, we grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the reports we deliver to you for your own evaluation of the transaction they concern — or, if you are a business broker, lender, accountant, attorney or other professional, for your work on that transaction for your client — including sharing them with your own professional advisors, your client, your lender, and your business partners in that transaction. That license does not permit publication, resale, or use in a different transaction.

The license is perpetual; access through the Service is not. A file you export is yours to keep indefinitely. Your ability to open a report inside the Service depends on your account remaining open and on the retention periods in our Privacy Policy, which are shorter. If you want a permanent copy, export it.

11. Confidentiality

We treat Your Content as confidential. We will not disclose it except as described in our Privacy Policy, as you direct, or as required by law. We limit access to personnel and processors who need it to operate the Service.

12. Third-party services

The Service depends on third-party providers for hosting, storage, payment processing, and AI processing. They are named in our Privacy Policy. Reports may also refer you to third-party professionals or reference public data sources. We do not control third parties, do not endorse any professional a report suggests you consult, and are not responsible for their acts, omissions, availability, or fees.

13. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE AND ALL REPORTS AND OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT ANY OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE, OR THAT ANY DEFECT WILL BE CORRECTED.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AMECLARITY AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOST DATA, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

IN PARTICULAR, AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE ABOVE, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS ARISING FROM A TRANSACTION YOU ENTER INTO, DECLINE, PRICE, OR ABANDON, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN RELIANCE ON A REPORT.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100).

Nothing in this section limits any right that cannot be limited by applicable law, including rights under applicable consumer-protection statutes. These limits apply to the fullest extent permitted by law. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

15. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Ameclarity and its members, managers, officers, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

• Your Content, including any claim that uploading or processing it breached a non-disclosure agreement, confidentiality obligation, privacy right, or intellectual-property right;
• your use of the Service or of any report, including any use prohibited by Section 2 or Section 8; or
• your breach of these Terms.

We will notify you of any claim we seek indemnification for and may participate in the defense with counsel of our choosing at our own expense. You may not settle a claim in a way that imposes an obligation or admission on us without our written consent.

16. Term, suspension, and termination

These Terms apply for as long as you use the Service. You may stop at any time and may ask us to close your account.

We may suspend or terminate access, with notice where practicable, if you breach these Terms, if we are required to by law, or if continuing would expose us or others to material risk.

On termination: Sections 2, 5.1, 5.3, 6, 9, 11, and 13 through 20 survive. Your data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy, including the retention period stated there.

17. Changes to the Service and to these Terms

We may change the Service. We may also change these Terms; if a change is material, we will give notice by email or in the application before it takes effect and will update the date at the top. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept it. If you do not accept it, stop using the Service and ask us to close your account.

Changes do not apply retroactively to a dispute that arose before the change.

18. Dispute resolution — arbitration and class-action waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects how disputes are resolved.

18.1 Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration, you agree to contact us at ameclarity@gmail.com and give us sixty (60) days to resolve the matter informally.

18.2 Binding arbitration. Except as stated below, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, before a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be seated in Florida or, at your election, in the county where you reside; it may be conducted by video or on documents alone. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

18.3 Exceptions. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property or confidential information.

18.4 Class-action waiver. Disputes will be brought only in an individual capacity. Neither party may bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding, and the arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any representative proceeding. If this waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim is severed and heard in court, and the remainder of this Section 18 continues to apply.

18.5 Your right to opt out. You may reject this Section 18 by emailing ameclarity@gmail.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

19. Governing law and venue

These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. For any matter not subject to arbitration, the state and federal courts located in Florida have exclusive jurisdiction, and both parties consent to that jurisdiction and venue.

20. General

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Ameclarity about the Service and replace any prior understanding.

Severability. If a provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.

No waiver. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including outages at a third-party provider.

Notices. We may give notice by email to the address on your account or by posting in the application. You give notice to us at ameclarity@gmail.com. Legal process may also be served on our registered agent, as listed in the records of the Florida Division of Corporations.

Relationship. These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship. An express no-professional-relationship clause also appears in Section 2.

Export and sanctions. You represent that you are not located in, and will not use the Service on behalf of anyone located in, a country or territory subject to comprehensive US sanctions, and that you are not on any US restricted-party list.
