In consideration for information on businesses offered for sale by MMJ I understand and agree as follows:

I acknowledge that Information (as defined herein) provided by MMJ in respect of businesses for sale is sensitive and confidential and its disclosure to others would be damaging to the businesses and to the Broker’s relationship with the Seller.

  1. I will not disclose any Information regarding these businesses to any other person who has not also entered into this Agreement except to my professional advisor, in which case I agree to obtain their consent to maintain such confidentiality. “Information” shall include the fact that the business is for sale together with other related data. Information does not include any information that is, or becomes, generally available to the public or is already in my possession or information which I am required to disclose by law. All Information provided to me will be returned to MMJ without retaining copies, summaries, analyses or extracts thereof in the event that I do not proceed with the purchase of the business.
  2. I will be responsible for any breach of any of the terms of this letter by myself or by any of my professional advisers.

Prior to finalising an agreement to purchase a business, it is my responsibility to make an independent verification of all Information. I agree that MMJ is not responsible for the accuracy of any Information I receive and I agree to indemnify and hold MMJ harmless from any claims or damages resulting from its use. I will look only to the Seller and to my own investigation for all information regarding any business offered by MMJ on behalf of a Seller.
  5. I acknowledge that MMJ does not give tax, accounting, legal or financial advice.

Should I enter into an agreement to purchase a business MMJ offers for sale, I grant to the Seller the right to obtain through standard reporting agencies, financial and credit information concerning me or the companies or other parties I represent and understand that this information will be held confidential by the Seller and MMJ and will only be used for the purpose of confirming my ability to pay the consideration for such business and the Seller extending credit to me should an agreement to do so arise.
  7. I confirm that I shall promptly provide sufficient evidence of identity and proof of sufficient funds to MMJ upon request.
  8. All correspondence, inquiries, offers to purchase, and negotiations relating to the purchase or lease of any business presented to me, or companies, which I represent, will be conducted exclusively through MMJ.
