1. Agreement

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you and Cross-Link Square LLP, LLPIN AAV-9425, registered office 1-GA-10, Jawahar Nagar, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302004, operating the brand Buy My Venture ("BMV", "we", "us").

By accessing buymyventure.com, creating an account, listing a business, unlocking a listing, or using any part of the Platform, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Platform.

These Terms incorporate by reference the Privacy Policy, Confidentiality Policy, Cookie Policy and Refund & Cancellation Policy.

This is an electronic record under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and does not require a physical or digital signature.

2. Definitions

• "Platform" — buymyventure.com and all associated portals, sub-domains and services.
• "Seller" — a person who lists, or seeks to list, a business, undertaking or asset for sale.
• "Buyer" — a person who browses, unlocks or negotiates for a listing.
• "Advisor" — an advisor, investor, investment banker, corporate intermediary or law firm registered on the Platform.
• "User" — any of the above, and any visitor to the Platform.
• "Listing" — a business, undertaking or asset published on the Platform.
• "Deal Pack" — the curated document prepared by BMV from a Seller's own submitted data.
• "Platform Fees" — the fees in Section 9.
• "Transaction" — any sale, slump sale, asset transfer, share transfer or business transfer between a Buyer and a Seller introduced through the Platform.

3. Eligibility

You represent that you are at least 18 years of age, are competent to contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, are not disqualified from contracting under any law, and — where you register on behalf of an entity — are duly authorised to bind that entity. You further represent that you are not a person barred from dealing in securities or business assets by any Indian regulator, court or tribunal.

4. Nature of the service — what BMV is and is not

4.1 BMV is a facilitation platform. We provide a venue where Sellers may present businesses for sale and Buyers may discover them. We prepare a Deal Pack from information the Seller supplies, and we facilitate introductions.

4.2 BMV is not a party to any Transaction. The Transaction is concluded directly between the Buyer and the Seller. We are not the seller, the buyer, the agent of either, an escrow agent, a guarantor, or a party to the definitive documents, unless we expressly agree in a separate signed writing.

4.3 BMV does not provide advice. Nothing on the Platform — including the valuation calculator, the Deal Pack, the net proceeds calculator, indicative values, market commentary, or any communication from our staff — constitutes investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, tax advice, accounting advice, a valuation report, a fairness opinion, a solicitation, or a recommendation to buy or sell. We are not registered with SEBI in any capacity. You must obtain your own independent professional advice before entering into any Transaction.

4.4 The valuation calculator is indicative only. It produces a broad indicative range from the inputs you supply, for a business or goodwill only, excluding movable and immovable assets. It is not a valuation, is not prepared by a registered valuer, does not comply with any valuation standard, and must not be relied on for any purpose other than preliminary orientation.

4.5 The Deal Pack presents the Seller's own data. BMV does not restate, adjust, audit or certify a Seller's numbers. The Deal Pack presents the Seller's own figures — TTM revenue, TTM profit, profit and loss statements and balance sheets as furnished by the Seller — together with industry context and commentary. Any verification we perform is limited, is not an audit or due diligence, and is not a warranty of accuracy. The Buyer remains solely responsible for its own due diligence.

4.6 No guarantee of outcome. We do not guarantee that a Listing will attract interest, that a Buyer will be found, that a Transaction will close, that any particular price will be achieved, or that any counterparty is solvent, genuine or capable of performing.

4.7 Intermediary status. In relation to information supplied by Users, BMV is an intermediary under Section 2(1)(w) of the Information Technology Act, 2000 and claims the protections available to intermediaries.

5. Account registration

You must provide accurate, current and complete information and keep it updated. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for the confidentiality of your credentials. One person or entity may hold only one account per role, unless we agree otherwise in writing. We may verify your identity, refuse registration, or suspend an account at our discretion where information appears false, incomplete or fraudulent.

6. Seller terms

6.1 You represent and warrant that you have full right, title, authority and capacity to offer the business or asset for sale, and that all consents required from partners, shareholders, lenders, landlords, licensors or regulators have been or will be obtained.

6.2 You represent that every statement, figure, statement of account, financial statement and document you upload is true, accurate, complete and not misleading, and that financial statements fairly present the position of the business. You will promptly correct any statement that becomes inaccurate.

6.3 Listing term and billing. A Listing sits in an "In Process" state until BMV has prepared and uploaded the Deal Pack; only then is the Listing verified and does it proceed to payment and publication. No listing fee is charged while a Listing is In Process.

The listing tenure is 12 (twelve) months from publication, billed monthly at ₹1,000 plus GST by recurring debit under the e-mandate at Clause 9.2A, and continuing month to month thereafter until you cancel the mandate.

You may pause a Listing at any time. While paused, the Listing is not visible to Buyers and monthly billing is suspended. You may reactivate it for the balance of the unexpired tenure, at which point billing resumes. Pausing does not extend the 12-month tenure beyond the unexpired balance, and does not entitle you to a refund of any month already debited.

6.4 You will respond to genuine Buyer enquiries within a reasonable time, will make yourself available for meetings as reasonably scheduled, and will not withhold material adverse information.

6.5 You grant BMV a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence, for the listing term and for a reasonable period afterwards, to host, reproduce, adapt, excerpt and display your submitted content for the purposes of preparing the Deal Pack, publishing the Listing, and marketing the Platform in anonymised form.

6.6 You will not list a business that you do not intend genuinely to sell, and will not use the Platform to conduct market research, price discovery, competitor intelligence or fundraising under the guise of a sale.

7. Buyer terms

7.1 You will provide accurate profile, budget and source-of-funds information, and will not misrepresent your identity, capacity or intention.

7.2 Access to identifying and financial detail of a Listing is granted only after you have completed profile verification, accepted the click-wrap NDA, and paid the applicable unlock fee. Access is personal to you and non-transferable.

7.2A Access window. Unlock access to a Listing is valid for 15 (fifteen) days from the date of unlock. Before the end of that window you must either:

(a) submit a Letter of Intent in respect of that Listing; or
(b) notify BMV in writing that you are not proceeding.

If you do neither, your access lapses automatically at the end of the fifteenth day, and a fresh unlock fee is payable to regain access. Lapse of access does not release you from your confidentiality, non-circumvention or non-solicitation obligations, which continue as set out in the Confidentiality Policy.

7.3 You are solely responsible for your own due diligence — commercial, financial, legal, tax, regulatory, technical and operational. You will not rely on BMV, the Deal Pack, or any BMV communication as a substitute for it.

7.4 You will not use information obtained from a Listing for any purpose other than evaluating that specific acquisition opportunity.

7.5 You will not contact a Seller's employees, customers, suppliers, lenders or landlords in connection with a Listing without BMV's prior written consent.

8. Advisor terms

Advisors registering on the Platform warrant that they hold the qualifications, registrations and licences they claim, will act in accordance with applicable professional conduct rules, and will not use the Platform to solicit Users away from it. BMV does not endorse, appoint, supervise or guarantee any Advisor, and is not responsible for any advice, service or omission of an Advisor. Any engagement between you and an Advisor is a direct contract between you and that Advisor.

9. Fees and payment

9.1 Fee schedule. All Platform Fees are exclusive of GST, which is charged additionally at the applicable rate.

9.2 Payment. Payments are collected through Razorpay. We do not store your full card, UPI or bank credentials. Payment is subject to the gateway's own terms.

9.2A NACH e-mandate for the listing fee. The listing fee is collected by monthly recurring debit under a NACH / UPI AutoPay e-mandate which the Seller registers at the time of publication.

(a) By registering the mandate, you authorise BMV — through Razorpay, NPCI and your bank — to debit ₹1,000 plus GST from your nominated account each month until the mandate is cancelled.
(b) You will receive a pre-debit notification at least 24 hours before each debit, in accordance with Reserve Bank of India directions on recurring transactions.
(c) The mandate continues until you cancel it. You may cancel at any time through Account → Billing, through your bank or UPI application, or by writing to admin@buymyventure.com. Cancellation must be effected at least 3 working days before the next debit date to stop that debit.
(d) Cancelling the mandate stops future billing only. It does not refund amounts already debited, does not discharge an accrued closing fee, and does not by itself delete your account or your data.
(e) If a debit fails, we will notify you and may re-present it in accordance with NPCI rules. If the fee remains unpaid for 7 days, your Listing may be unpublished until payment is made.
(f) You are responsible for any dishonour, mandate-failure or insufficient-funds charge levied by your bank.

9.3 Coupons. Promotional coupon codes may reduce a fee to a discounted amount. Coupons are single-use unless stated otherwise, are non-transferable, carry no cash value, and may be withdrawn at any time before use.

9.4 Taxes. You are responsible for your own tax position, including GST, TDS, stamp duty and capital gains arising from any Transaction. Where you are required to deduct tax at source, you must furnish the TDS certificate within the statutory timeline; failing which the deducted amount is payable to us.

9.5 Late payment. Undisputed amounts not paid when due carry interest at 1.5% per month or part thereof from the due date until payment, without prejudice to our other rights.

9.6 Refunds are governed exclusively by the Refund & Cancellation Policy.

10. Closing fee and non-circumvention

10.1 The closing fee is a Seller-side fee, earned on the completion of any Transaction between a Buyer and a Seller who were introduced through the Platform, regardless of whether the Transaction is structured as a slump sale, asset sale, share sale, business transfer, licence, joint venture, merger or any other form, and regardless of whether it is concluded on or off the Platform.

10.1A Rate and negotiation. The standard rate is 7% of the headline deal value. The rate is negotiable, and may be varied only by written agreement between BMV and the Seller recorded before or at the time the Seller is introduced to prospective Buyers. In the absence of a written variation, 7% applies. A variation agreed for one Transaction does not apply to any other.

10.2 Non-circumvention. For 24 months from the date of introduction, neither Buyer nor Seller shall, directly or indirectly, alone or through any affiliate, nominee, relative, trust or entity, conclude a Transaction in respect of the introduced business while avoiding or reducing the closing fee payable to BMV.

10.3 A breach of Clause 10.2 entitles BMV to recover the full closing fee that would have been payable, together with interest under Clause 9.5 and all costs of recovery, as a debt due. This is a genuine pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty.

10.4 Each party will promptly notify BMV of the signing and of the closing of any Transaction, and will furnish a copy of the executed definitive agreement sufficient to establish the deal value.

11. Confidentiality

Confidentiality obligations are set out in the Confidentiality Policy and, where executed, in the separate Buyer NDA, Seller NDA and click-wrap NDAs. Those documents survive termination of these Terms.

12. Consent to communications

By registering, you consent to receive transactional communications by email, SMS, RCS business messaging, in-app notification and voice call in connection with your account. Where you have separately opted in, you also consent to receive promotional communications through the same channels. You may withdraw marketing consent at any time as described in Section 5 of the Privacy Policy. You confirm that you are the lawful subscriber of the mobile number you register, and that your consent to be contacted at that number overrides any DND/NCPR registration to the extent permitted by the TRAI TCCCP Regulations, 2018.

13. Prohibited conduct

You will not:

1. post false, misleading, fabricated or plagiarised information, financials or documents;
2. impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation, authority or funding capacity;
3. use the Platform to launder money, to move unaccounted funds, or in breach of PMLA, FEMA or any sanctions regime;
4. scrape, crawl, harvest, index, mirror or bulk-download Platform content by automated means;
5. reverse-engineer, decompile, probe, penetration-test or attempt to bypass any access control, RLS policy, paywall or NDA gate;
6. circumvent the closing fee;
7. share, resell or republish a Deal Pack or any unlocked Listing content;
8. upload malware, or anything unlawful, obscene, defamatory, or infringing of third-party rights;
9. use the Platform to send unsolicited commercial communications to other Users;
10. interfere with the operation, security or availability of the Platform.

14. Intellectual property

The Platform, the "Buy My Venture" name and logo, the tagline "Innovate, Grow, Exit", the valuation and net proceeds calculators and their underlying logic, the Deal Pack format and template, all software, text, design, graphics and compilations, are owned by or licensed to Cross-Link Square LLP and are protected under the Copyright Act, 1957, the Trade Marks Act, 1999 and other laws. You receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Platform for its intended purpose. All other rights are reserved. You retain ownership of the content you submit, subject to the licence at Clause 6.5.

15. Third-party links and services

The Platform may link to third-party sites and integrate third-party services. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, security, availability, pricing or practices. Your dealings with them are solely between you and them.

16. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, the Platform, the Deal Pack, the calculators and all content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, title, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that any information supplied by another User is true.

17. Limitation of liability

17.1 Exclusion of indirect loss. BMV, its partners, employees, agents and service providers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive loss, or for any loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of opportunity, loss of anticipated savings, loss of goodwill, loss of data, or the cost of substitute services, however arising and whether or not foreseeable.

17.2 Aggregate liability cap. Notwithstanding anything else in these Terms, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of BMV to you — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, restitution or otherwise, and whether arising from a single claim or from a series of connected claims — shall not exceed the total of the Platform Fees actually paid by you to BMV, and actually received by BMV, through the online payment facility on buymyventure.com during the 12 (twelve) months immediately preceding the date on which the claim first arose (the "Capped Amount").

17.3 Amounts excluded from the Capped Amount. For the purpose of computing the Capped Amount, the following are expressly excluded and shall not be counted, whether paid, payable or waived:

(a) the closing fee under Section 10, in whole and in every case;
(b) travel, site-visit and other out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed at actuals;
(c) GST and any other tax, duty, cess, levy or statutory charge;
(d) any amount paid to a third party, including payment gateway charges, bank charges and any fee paid to an Advisor;
(e) any amount paid otherwise than through the online payment facility on the Platform, including by cheque, demand draft, NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, direct bank transfer, adjustment or cash; and
(f) any amount paid more than 12 months before the claim first arose.

17.4 No fee, no monetary liability. If no Platform Fee has been paid by you through the online payment facility on the Platform in the 12 months preceding the claim, BMV shall have no monetary liability to you whatsoever.

17.5 No liability for User conduct. We are not liable for the acts, omissions, defaults, misrepresentations, insolvency or fraud of any Buyer, Seller or Advisor; for the accuracy of any information furnished by a User; for the outcome, terms, performance or failure of any Transaction; or for any decision you take in reliance on the Platform.

17.6 The exclusions and limits in this Section apply regardless of the failure of any limited remedy, apply cumulatively across all claims, and survive termination.

17.7 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under Indian law, including liability for fraud or wilful misconduct.

17.8 One-way cap. For the avoidance of doubt, the caps and exclusions in this Section operate only in favour of BMV. They do not limit your liability to BMV or to any other User, including your liability for breach of confidentiality, breach of non-circumvention, misrepresentation, non-payment of the closing fee, or the indemnity at Section 18.

18. Indemnity

You will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Cross-Link Square LLP, its partners, employees and agents against all claims, demands, proceedings, losses, damages, fines, penalties, and reasonable legal and professional costs arising out of or in connection with: (a) your breach of these Terms or any policy incorporated into them; (b) any information, financial statement or document you furnish being false, inaccurate, incomplete or misleading; (c) any dispute between you and another User; (d) your violation of any law or of any third-party right; and (e) any tax, duty or levy payable in respect of a Transaction to which you are a party. This indemnity is uncapped and survives termination.

19. Suspension and termination

19.1 You may close your account at any time by writing to admin@buymyventure.com. Closure does not entitle you to a refund except as provided in the Refund & Cancellation Policy, and does not discharge accrued liabilities, including the closing fee.

19.2 We may suspend or terminate your access, remove a Listing, or withhold a Deal Pack, immediately and without refund, where we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, furnished false information, attempted to circumvent fees, compromised confidentiality, or exposed BMV or another User to legal or reputational risk.

19.3 Sections 4, 10, 11, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20 and 21 survive termination.

20. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for any failure or delay caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, including act of God, flood, fire, earthquake, epidemic or pandemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, strike, change in law, governmental order, failure of telecommunications, internet or power, or failure of a third-party hosting or payment provider.

21. Governing law, jurisdiction and grievance redressal

21.1 Governing law. These Terms and all disputes arising out of or in connection with them, including their existence, validity, breach and termination, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India.

21.2 Exclusive jurisdiction. The courts at Jaipur, Rajasthan shall have sole and exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes, claims and proceedings arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the Platform, or any relationship created through the Platform.

These Terms, together with the incorporated policies and any executed NDA or transaction document, constitute the entire agreement between you and BMV and supersede all prior understandings.
