Terms of Service

IMPORTANT: Succedence uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies to provide business analysis, market intelligence, due diligence assistance, and buyer compatibility scoring. These AI-powered tools are designed to assist and enhance your decision-making process but should never be your sole basis for investment decisions.

AI Accuracy and Limitations

• No Guarantee of Accuracy: AI-generated content, analysis, and recommendations may contain errors, inaccuracies, or incomplete information. The AI models are trained on historical data and may not reflect current market conditions or unique circumstances.
• Algorithmic Bias: AI systems may contain inherent biases based on training data and may not account for all relevant factors in business analysis.
• Rapidly Changing Information: AI analysis is based on available data at the time of generation and may not reflect real-time market changes or recent developments.
• Context Limitations: AI may not fully understand complex business relationships, regulatory changes, or industry-specific nuances that could significantly impact investment decisions.

Not Financial, Legal, or Investment Advice

Succedence and its AI-powered tools DO NOT provide financial, legal, or investment advice. All AI-generated insights, business analyses, market intelligence, and recommendations are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as:

• Investment recommendations or advice
• Financial planning or advisory services
• Legal advice or counsel
• Accounting or tax advice

By using Succedence, you acknowledge and agree that:
