Terms of Service

By accessing or using the North Texas Business Exchange website ("NTBX," "the Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should not use the Site.

NTBX reserves the right to update these terms at any time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page when changes are made.

NTBX provides business valuation estimates, market data, educational content, and advisory-related resources for business owners in the North Texas region. The Site includes an interactive valuation calculator, industry guides, market analysis, and contact forms for advisory inquiries.

The information and tools provided on this Site are designed to be informational and educational. They are intended to help business owners make more informed decisions — not to replace professional financial, legal, or tax advice.

The business valuation calculator provided on this Site generates estimated valuation ranges based on user-provided inputs, publicly available industry data, and general market observations. These estimates are informational only and do not constitute a formal business appraisal, certified valuation, or professional opinion of value.

Estimated ranges are based on general industry multiples and market patterns. They do not account for all factors that affect the value of a specific business, including but not limited to: customer concentration, lease terms, pending litigation, regulatory issues, asset condition, or local competitive dynamics.

No estimate provided by the calculator or the Site should be relied upon for transaction decisions, tax planning, legal proceedings, lending, or any other purpose that requires a certified valuation. For decisions of that nature, engage a qualified business appraiser, CPA, or attorney.

NTBX does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any valuation estimate or market data presented on the Site.

Market multiples, industry ranges, and statistical information presented on the Site are compiled from publicly available sources, observed market behavior, and general industry research. This data is provided for informational purposes and represents general ranges — not specific transaction values.

Market conditions change. Multiples fluctuate. The data presented on the Site reflects conditions at the time of publication and may not reflect current market reality. NTBX makes reasonable efforts to keep content current but does not warrant that all information is accurate or up-to-date at any given time.

Editorial content, guides, and market commentary represent the perspectives and analysis of NTBX and should not be construed as financial, legal, or tax advice.

Nothing on this Site constitutes professional financial advice, legal advice, tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any business or asset. The content is educational and informational in nature.

Business valuation, sale transactions, and exit planning involve complex financial, legal, and tax considerations that vary based on individual circumstances. You should consult qualified professionals — including CPAs, attorneys, and certified business appraisers — before making decisions based on information found on this Site.

NTBX is not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, certified public accountant, or attorney. Any advisory services offered are subject to separate engagement agreements with their own terms and conditions.

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of the Site shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Dallas County, Texas.

You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of these courts and waive any objection to venue in these courts.

If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
