The Platform Manager reserves the right to:

review Listings before publication;
edit formatting, layout, or presentation for consistency or compliance;
request supporting documentation;
reject or remove Listings;

or require amendments to Listing content,

at its sole discretion.

The Platform Manager is under no obligation to publish or continue publishing any Listing.

The Platform Manager may undertake marketing or promotional activities relating to a Listing, including:

email campaigns;
social media promotion;
digital advertising;
podcast promotion;
database distribution;
platform featuring;
content syndication;
or related exposure activities.

The nature, frequency, timing, duration, and extent of marketing activities are determined by:

the selected package;
campaign strategy;
available resources;
and the Platform Manager's operational discretion.

Marketing activities may vary between campaigns and between Advertisers.

The Platform Manager has sole discretion over the form, content, headlines, imagery, branding references, offer details, and creative elements of advertising published across third-party platforms (including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google, YouTube, podcast platforms, podcast advertising networks, and email distribution platforms).

The Advertiser acknowledges that:

third-party platforms impose policies, restrictions, and requirements that may affect the form and content of advertising (including restrictions on identifying brands, businesses, offers, financial terms, or returns in certain ad formats);
the Platform Manager may, without notice, modify, omit, generalise, or remove any creative element to ensure compliance with third-party platform policies or to optimise campaign performance;
the Advertiser may not direct or require the Platform Manager to publish creative content that would, in the Platform Manager's reasonable opinion, breach a third-party platform's policies; and
variations in creative approach across different channels do not constitute a breach of these Terms or a failure to deliver services.

2.5 Third-Party Platforms & Services

The Platform Manager may utilise third-party platforms, software providers, advertising networks, social media platforms, CRM systems, payment processors, or communication tools in connection with Advertising Services.

The Platform Manager:

does not control third-party platforms;
does not guarantee uptime, reach, performance, or availability of third-party services;
and is not liable for interruptions, policy changes, account restrictions, algorithm changes, advertising restrictions, or failures caused by third-party providers.

2.6 No Exclusivity

Unless expressly agreed in writing, the Advertiser acknowledges that:

Listings are non-exclusive;
the Platform Manager may advertise competing businesses, projects, opportunities, or properties;
and the Platform Manager may provide similar services to other advertisers, including competitors of the Advertiser.

2.7 Independent Decision Making

The Advertiser retains sole responsibility for:

all commercial decisions;
negotiations;
transaction terms;
investor communications;
due diligence processes;
compliance obligations;
and decisions relating to any sale, funding, investment, or transaction.

The Advertiser must obtain their own:

legal advice;
accounting advice;
taxation advice;
financial advice;
and licensing advice,

where appropriate.

2.8 Service Modifications

The Platform Manager may modify, improve, suspend, replace, or discontinue parts of the Platform or Advertising Services at any time, including:

software functionality;
marketing systems;
communication tools;
campaign structures;
pricing models;
and service inclusions.

Such changes do not entitle the Advertiser to refunds or compensation unless required by law.

2.9 Trial Periods

Where the Platform Manager offers a trial period in connection with any subscription, software access, or service (including but not limited to a 30-day trial of the Founders Unlimited subscription):

the trial period commences on the date the Advertiser is granted access to the relevant service;
the duration of the trial period is as specified at the time of sign-up or in any accepted Proposal;
the Advertiser may cancel the subscription at any time during the trial period by providing written notice to the Platform Manager at support@bizdealroom.com or via the cancellation mechanism made available on the Platform;
cancellation must be received before the conclusion of the trial period to avoid the first paid billing cycle;
if the subscription is not cancelled before the conclusion of the trial period, the subscription automatically converts to a paid evergreen subscription and the Advertiser's nominated payment method will be charged the applicable Subscription Fee;
the Advertiser authorises the Platform Manager to charge the nominated payment method immediately upon conclusion of the trial period;
trial periods are non-transferable, may be limited to one per Advertiser, and may be modified, shortened, extended, or withdrawn by the Platform Manager at its discretion;
where the Advertiser has accessed any premium feature, managed service, or content during the trial period, the Platform Manager may charge reasonable fees for that access if the Advertiser cancels during the trial in a manner inconsistent with good faith use; and
the Platform Manager reserves the right to refuse trial access where it reasonably suspects abuse of trial offers (including multiple sign-ups by the same person or entity).

The Advertiser acknowledges that the trial period is a promotional offer and that all other terms of this Agreement (including obligations relating to content, conduct, and Listings) apply during the trial period.

2.10 Founders Unlimited Subscription as Foundation Service

The Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that the Founders Unlimited subscription (or any successor base subscription as notified by the Platform Manager from time to time):

is a mandatory base service and a condition precedent to all other Advertising Services, Marketing Services, managed service packages, software access, CRM access, sub-account provisioning, and related services;
is an ongoing, evergreen subscription that continues indefinitely until cancelled in accordance with clause 2.9, clause 4.2, and clause 8.1;
is not provided on a fixed-term basis and does not expire automatically;
and underpins access to all other services purchased by the Advertiser, including any one-off, fixed-term, or campaign-based managed service packages (such as Essential, Premium, Platinum, or Platinum Plus tiers).

The Advertiser further acknowledges and agrees that:

cancellation, suspension, or termination of the Founders Unlimited subscription for any reason (including non-payment) entitles the Platform Manager, at its sole discretion, to immediately suspend or terminate any related managed service, campaign, Listing, or software access;
no refund or pro-rata adjustment is payable in respect of any managed service, campaign, or fixed-term package that is suspended or terminated as a consequence of Founders Unlimited cancellation, suspension, or termination;
and any trial period offered in connection with Founders Unlimited (including but not limited to a 30-day trial) is a promotional courtesy and does not alter the evergreen nature of the subscription once the trial period concludes and paid services commence.

Where the Advertiser cancels the Founders Unlimited subscription while a managed service or fixed-term package remains in effect, the Advertiser remains liable for all outstanding amounts payable under that managed service or package, which become immediately due and payable upon such cancellation.

3. NO GUARANTEE OF RESULTS, INVESTORS OR TRANSACTIONS

3.1 No Guarantee of Commercial Outcomes

The Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that the Platform Manager provides advertising, promotional, marketplace exposure, and lead generation services only.

The Platform Manager does not guarantee:

investors;
buyers;
purchasers;
funding;
capital raising success;
business sales;
transaction completion;
commercial outcomes;
profitability;
valuations;
meeting attendance;
responses from Leads;
transaction readiness;
investor suitability;
investor sophistication;
buyer legitimacy;
or any financial or commercial outcome whatsoever.

3.2 No Guarantee of Lead Quality or Suitability

The Platform Manager does not guarantee:

the quality of any Lead;
the seriousness of any Lead;
the legitimacy of any Lead;
the identity of any Lead;
the responsiveness of any Lead;
the financial capacity of any Lead;
the authority of any Lead;
or the likelihood that any Lead will proceed beyond an initial enquiry.

The Advertiser acknowledges that:

Leads may be preliminary, exploratory, anonymous, incomplete, non-responsive, or speculative in nature;
not all Leads will respond or engage further;
and many Leads may never proceed to a transaction.

3.3 No Verification or Qualification of Leads

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, the Platform Manager:

does not verify, qualify, vet, endorse, or approve Leads;
does not assess whether a Lead is sophisticated, wholesale, professional, accredited, qualified, genuine, suitable, or transaction-ready;
and does not warrant the identity, intentions, legitimacy, authority, or financial position of any Lead.

Any references to:

investor networks;
subscribers;
database size;
investor exposure;
investor matching;
professional contacts;
or related descriptions,

are descriptive only and do not constitute representations regarding the legitimacy, sophistication, verification status, financial capacity, or transaction readiness of any person.

3.4 Lead Generation Is Inherently Speculative

The Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that:

advertising and lead generation services are inherently speculative;
commercial outcomes vary significantly between campaigns;
conversion rates are unpredictable;
market conditions may impact campaign performance;
and outcomes depend on numerous factors outside the Platform Manager's control.

These factors may include:

pricing;
business quality;
investor appetite;
market conditions;
economic conditions;
documentation quality;
responsiveness of the Advertiser;
transaction structure;
management capability;
regulatory matters;
and third-party conduct.

3.5 No Reliance on Indicative Statements

The Advertiser acknowledges that they have not relied upon:

verbal statements;
indicative comments;
estimated campaign outcomes;
estimated enquiry volumes;
examples of prior campaigns;
estimated investor interest;
or discussions regarding possible transaction outcomes,

as guarantees of future performance or commercial success.

Any examples, statistics, case studies, indicative results, or historical campaign references are illustrative only and do not guarantee future outcomes.

3.6 No Fiduciary or Advisory Relationship

The Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that:

no fiduciary relationship exists between the Advertiser and the Platform Manager;
the Platform Manager does not provide financial product advice, investment advice, legal advice, taxation advice, or brokerage services;
and the Advertiser remains solely responsible for all commercial and transaction decisions.

The Advertiser must obtain independent professional advice where appropriate.

3.7 Separate Lead Guarantee Schedules

Where the Platform Manager offers any form of lead guarantee, enquiry campaign, exposure commitment, or promotional undertaking:

such arrangements apply only where expressly documented in a separate written agreement or campaign schedule;
all conditions and exclusions contained in that separate document apply;
and the sole remedy for any failure to meet such commitments will be limited to additional exposure, extended campaign duration, or additional marketing activities as determined by the Platform Manager.

For the avoidance of doubt, refunds are not the remedy for unmet lead generation targets unless expressly required by law or separately agreed in writing.

3.8 Historical and Descriptive References

Any references in marketing materials, press articles, podcasts, advertisements, sales communications, websites, social media, or other communications to:

the Platform Manager's history, founding, or track record;
transaction volume or aggregate transaction values facilitated through the Platform;
media features, awards, or recognition;
partnerships, affiliations, or past commercial relationships;
founder background, qualifications, or prior business history;
investor network size, database size, or subscriber numbers;
or past campaign results, case studies, or testimonials,

are descriptive and historical only.

Such references do not constitute representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding:

future outcomes;
current capabilities;
likely campaign performance for the Advertiser;
the size, composition, sophistication, or activity level of any current network or database;
or any specific result the Advertiser may achieve.

The Advertiser acknowledges that they have not entered into these Terms in reliance upon any such historical or descriptive reference.

4. FEES, PAYMENTS & INSTALMENT PLANS

4.1 Fees

The Advertiser agrees to pay all:

Subscription Fees;
Custom Fees;
Instalment Plan amounts;
marketing upgrade fees;
software access fees;
advertising fees;
and other charges,

specified in any Proposal, invoice, quote, campaign agreement, payment plan, or accepted service arrangement.

All fees are payable in Australian Dollars (AUD) unless otherwise stated.

4.2 Subscription Fees & Auto-Renewal

Subscription Fees:

are payable in advance;
apply for the selected Agreement Period (which may be monthly, annual, or otherwise as agreed);
and are non-refundable except where required by law.

Unless cancelled in accordance with this clause, Subscription Fees automatically renew at the end of each Agreement Period at the then-current rate published by the Platform Manager. The Advertiser acknowledges that the renewal rate may differ from the original Subscription Fee.

To cancel auto-renewal, the Advertiser must:

provide written notice to the Platform Manager at support@bizdealroom.com, or cancel through the Platform's account or billing settings; and
ensure the cancellation notice is received by the Platform Manager at least 24 hours before the scheduled renewal date.

Cancellation requests received less than 24 hours before renewal may not take effect until the following renewal cycle, and the upcoming renewal payment will be processed in the ordinary course.

The Advertiser authorises the Platform Manager or its payment processor to charge recurring Subscription Fees using the payment method provided.

4.3 Custom Fees

Custom Fees may apply for:

managed campaigns;
upgraded exposure;
enhanced marketing;
podcast production;
strategic support;
document preparation;
CRM onboarding;
software setup;
social media advertising;
content creation;
and specialised services.

Custom Fees may be:

invoiced separately;
included within a Proposal;
or incorporated into an Instalment Plan.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Custom Fees are payable within 7 days of invoice.

4.4 Instalment Plans

Where an Instalment Plan is approved:

the total amount payable;
payment dates;
instalment amounts;
and payment method

will be confirmed in writing or within the Proposal.

The Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that an Instalment Plan is a payment arrangement offered as a convenience to the Advertiser, allowing the total fees for services to be paid over multiple scheduled payments. The Advertiser further acknowledges and agrees that:

significant operational, marketing, platform, staff, and third-party costs are incurred by the Platform Manager at or shortly after the commencement of services, regardless of the instalment schedule;
the instalment schedule reflects when payments are due, and does not reflect when value is delivered, when work is performed, or when costs are incurred by the Platform Manager;
services, exposure, marketing activities, and platform access may be substantially or fully delivered well in advance of the final instalment becoming due; and
the Instalment Plan does not entitle the Advertiser to suspend, reduce, withhold, or renegotiate payments on the basis that work has not been performed proportionally with the payment schedule.

Failure to pay any instalment when due constitutes a material breach of these Terms.

4.5 Default Under Instalment Plans

If any payment remains unpaid for more than 7 days after its due date, the Platform Manager may, without limitation:

suspend or terminate services;
remove Listings;
suspend access to CRM systems or marketing tools;
pause campaigns;
declare all remaining instalments immediately due and payable;
engage debt recovery services;
commence legal proceedings;
or report payment defaults to credit reporting agencies where permitted by law.

The Advertiser remains liable for:

all outstanding amounts;
recovery costs;
merchant fees;
legal costs;
collection agency fees;
and administrative expenses reasonably incurred by the Platform Manager.

4.6 Automatic Payments, Stored Payment Methods & Payment Security

The Advertiser authorises the Platform Manager and its payment processors to:

store payment methods, including credit and debit card details;
process recurring payments;
process Instalment Plan payments;
retry failed payments;
and charge outstanding amounts due under these Terms.

The Platform Manager may, at its sole discretion, require any of the following as a condition of providing services, accepting an Instalment Plan, or continuing services following a payment default:

a valid credit or debit card held on file for automatic payment;
a signed direct debit authorisation;
updated or alternative payment details where the existing method has failed; or
such other reasonable security as the Platform Manager may require.

The Advertiser is responsible for ensuring valid payment details remain current at all times. Failure to maintain valid payment details constitutes a breach of these Terms and may result in suspension or termination of services.

4.7 GST

Unless otherwise stated:

fees payable by Australian Advertisers include GST;
tax invoices will be issued where applicable;
and GST will be applied in accordance with Australian tax law.

International Advertisers may remain responsible for:

local taxes;
duties;
currency conversion fees;
bank fees;
or international transaction charges applicable in their jurisdiction.

4.8 Overdue Amounts

The Platform Manager may charge interest on overdue amounts at a rate of 10% per annum, calculated daily.

Acceptance of late or partial payments does not waive the Platform Manager's rights under these Terms.

4.9 Fee Disputes

Any dispute regarding fees or invoices must:

be submitted in writing within 7 days of the invoice date or issue arising;
specify the nature of the dispute;
and include supporting details.

The Advertiser must pay all undisputed amounts while any dispute is being reviewed.

Failure to pay undisputed amounts may result in service suspension or termination.

4.10 No Set-Off

The Advertiser may not:

withhold payment;
deduct amounts;
apply set-offs;
or reduce fees,

due to disputes, claims, transaction outcomes, campaign dissatisfaction, or alleged service issues unless required by law or agreed in writing by the Platform Manager.

4.11 No Success Fees or Transaction Commissions

The Platform Manager does not charge success fees, brokerage commissions, transaction commissions, or completion-based fees in relation to transactions involving the Advertiser's business, property, capital raise, or Listing.

All fees payable under these Terms relate solely to advertising, promotional, software, marketing, exposure, and related services.

Where the Advertiser is accepted into the Platinum Plus tier under a separate Platinum Plus Campaign & Advertising Services Agreement, an additional Campaign Marketing Fee may apply. The Campaign Marketing Fee is a fee for marketing, platform and campaign services calculated by reference to capital raised or transaction value generated during the engagement period. For the avoidance of doubt, the Campaign Marketing Fee is not a success fee, brokerage commission, transaction commission, or completion-based fee, and the Platform Manager does not act as a broker, agent, financial adviser, or transaction intermediary in connection with any such fee. Full terms relating to the Campaign Marketing Fee are set out in the separate Platinum Plus Campaign & Advertising Services Agreement.

4.12 Debt Acknowledgement

By accepting these Terms, entering into any Instalment Plan, or accepting any invoice for Subscription Fees or Custom Fees, the Advertiser:

acknowledges and agrees that all amounts payable to the Platform Manager under these Terms constitute a liquidated debt;
agrees that these Terms, together with any accepted Proposal, invoice, Instalment Plan, or payment arrangement, constitute a debt agreement enforceable in the courts of Queensland and elsewhere;
acknowledges that the Platform Manager may pursue all legal remedies available for the recovery of liquidated debts, including summary judgment proceedings;
and authorises the Platform Manager to report payment defaults to credit reporting bodies where permitted by law.

This clause constitutes acknowledgment by the Advertiser that amounts payable under accepted Proposals, invoices, Subscription Fees, Custom Fees, and Instalment Plans are due and payable debts enforceable in accordance with applicable law. This clause survives termination of these Terms.

5. REFUNDS, DISPUTES & CHARGEBACKS

5.1 No Refunds

lack of transaction completion;
failure to secure funding;
failure to sell a business or property;

market conditions;
delays in transactions;
non-responsive Leads;
third-party conduct;

The Advertiser acknowledges that advertising and lead generation services do not guarantee commercial outcomes.

Services are deemed commenced immediately upon any of the following occurring:

acceptance of a Proposal;
payment being processed;
onboarding commencing;
Listing preparation commencing;
campaign setup commencing;
CRM access being issued;

Once services have commenced, fees become non-refundable except where required by law.

for services already commenced or delivered.

Where a chargeback or payment reversal is initiated, the Platform Manager may:

immediately suspend services;

and pursue debt recovery or legal action.

The Advertiser remains liable for:

and legal expenses reasonably incurred by the Platform Manager.

5.5 Evidence of Service Delivery

The Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that the Platform Manager may rely upon and provide the following as evidence of contractual acceptance and service delivery:

accepted Proposals;
digital acceptance records;
timestamps;
IP addresses;
browser and device information;
login records;
CRM activity;
Listing activity;
communication records;
onboarding records;
campaign records;
payment records;
email correspondence;
marketing activity;
and usage logs.

Such records may be provided to:

payment processors;
financial institutions;
debt recovery agencies;
legal representatives;
courts;
or regulatory authorities,

where reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms or respond to disputes.

5.6 Dispute Resolution Procedure

If the Advertiser disputes any service or fee, the Advertiser must:

notify the Platform Manager in writing within 7 days of the issue arising;
provide full details of the dispute;
provide any supporting documentation reasonably requested;
and allow the Platform Manager a reasonable opportunity to investigate and respond.

The parties agree to attempt to resolve disputes in good faith before commencing formal legal proceedings.

The Platform Manager will, where reasonably practicable, attempt to address legitimate disputes in good faith within 14 days of receiving a written notice of dispute, before commencing formal debt recovery, legal proceedings, or credit reporting action. This does not extend the Advertiser's obligation to pay undisputed amounts during the dispute period.

5.7 Ongoing Payment Obligations During Disputes

The existence of a dispute does not relieve the Advertiser from paying:

undisputed amounts;
recurring subscription fees;
or instalment payments,

while the dispute is being reviewed.

Failure to continue making required payments may result in suspension or termination of services.

5.8 Sole Remedies

To the maximum extent permitted by law, where the Platform Manager agrees that a service issue has occurred, the Platform Manager may, at its discretion:

provide additional campaign exposure;
extend campaign duration;
provide additional marketing activities;
reissue promotional activity;
or supply services again.

Refunds are not the default remedy unless required by law or expressly agreed in writing by the Platform Manager.

such arrangements do not increase the Advertiser's fees payable to the Platform Manager;
such arrangements do not increase the fees the Advertiser pays to the third-party provider, which remain a matter for direct negotiation between the Advertiser and that provider;
and the Advertiser remains solely responsible for negotiating and agreeing any third-party fees directly with the relevant provider.

Disclosure of referral fee arrangements is made in these Terms and the Advertiser is taken to have consented to such arrangements by accepting these Terms.

13.7 No Authority to Bind

No third-party provider introduced through the Platform has authority to:

bind the Platform Manager;
make guarantees on behalf of the Platform Manager;
vary these Terms;
or represent that the Platform Manager guarantees transaction outcomes.
