Terms of Use
Last updated: May 24, 2026
These terms explain the basic rules for using ADE. They are written in plain English, but they still matter. If you use ADE, you agree to use it responsibly.
What ADE Is
Acquisition Decision Engine, or ADE, is decision-support software operated by Acquisition Analytics, LLC. ADE helps users organize deal information, run preliminary screens, save analyses, and generate related outputs.
ADE does not provide legal, tax, accounting, lending, investment, financial, valuation, or business advice. Outputs are informational and preliminary.
Accounts
You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for keeping your login credentials secure, and for activity that happens through your account.
Do not use ADE for someone else without permission, and do not upload information you are not allowed to use or share.
Payments and Subscriptions
Paid access, credits, subscriptions, and reviewed-deal services are billed through our payment provider. You are responsible for charges you authorize.
Subscription users may cancel future billing according to the checkout and account tools available at the time. Prices, packages, and features may change as Acquisition Analytics updates the service.
Acceptable Use
Do not misuse ADE, interfere with the service, attempt to bypass access controls, reverse engineer the software, scrape the service, or use ADE for unlawful activity.
Do not upload unlawful, infringing, malicious, or unauthorized materials. Do not use ADE to make automated decisions about third parties without proper review and compliance.
Your Decisions
You are responsible for your own diligence, judgment, advisors, and transaction decisions. ADE does not guarantee financing, acquisition success, lender approval, investment returns, or deal performance.
Before making acquisition, financing, tax, legal, or accounting decisions, work with qualified professional advisors.
Limits of Liability
ADE is provided as a software and decision-support service. To the fullest extent allowed by law, Acquisition Analytics is not responsible for losses from business decisions, failed transactions, financing outcomes, data you enter, third-party services, or reliance on preliminary outputs.
If a limitation cannot be fully enforced, liability will be limited to the greatest extent allowed by law.
