ADE Disclaimer

Last updated: May 24, 2026

This disclaimer applies to ADE screens, saved deal records, lender memo outputs, and ADE Reviewed Deal services.

Decision-Support Only

ADE is decision-support software. It is designed to help users organize information, identify issues, and make a more disciplined preliminary review.

ADE outputs are informational and preliminary. They are not a substitute for diligence, professional judgment, or qualified advisors.

No Professional Advice

ADE does not provide legal, tax, accounting, lending, investment, financial, valuation, or business advice.

Do not treat ADE scores, memos, summaries, flags, or recommendations as professional opinions. Work with lawyers, accountants, lenders, tax advisors, valuation professionals, and other advisors as needed.

Is ADE an AI chatbot?

No. ADE is a rules-based acquisition screening and decision-support system. Smart Prefill, when enabled, is only an optional intake helper. It does not make the acquisition decision.

Can ADE import listing URLs?

ADE can try to import readable public page text when a site allows it. Some listing sites block server-side fetches even when the page is visible in your browser.

What if a listing site blocks URL import?

Copy the visible listing text from your browser and paste it into ADE using visible page text import. ADE does not store third-party usernames, passwords, cookies, or private site sessions.

Extracted text should be reviewed by the user before parsing, scoring, or relying on the output.

Does ADE store third-party login credentials?

No. ADE does not store third-party usernames, passwords, cookies, MFA tokens, or private site sessions.

Is ADE giving me lending, legal, tax, valuation, or investment advice?

No. ADE is decision-support software. Buyers still need their own diligence, lender review, legal review, accounting review, and operator judgment.

Can ADE replace a lender or QoE provider?

No. ADE helps identify pressure points before LOI. It does not approve financing, verify add-backs, or replace formal diligence.

No Guarantees

ADE does not guarantee financing, acquisition success, lender approval, investment returns, or deal performance.

A deal that looks attractive in ADE can still fail diligence, financing, legal review, tax review, operations review, or post-close execution.

User Responsibility

Users are responsible for their own diligence, assumptions, professional advisors, and decisions.

ADE relies on the information users enter or upload. Incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or misleading inputs can produce incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading outputs.

ADE Reviewed Deal

ADE Reviewed Deal is a human review and decision-support service. It is not a guarantee and is not a professional legal, accounting, tax, lending, valuation, investment, or credit opinion.

The reviewed-deal service can help identify questions and risks, but users remain responsible for final decisions and advisor review.
