2. About DoneDeal; Not a Law Firm
2.1. Nature of the Platform
DoneDeal provides a transaction operating system designed to facilitate the management, documentation, and workflow of small and middle-market mergers and acquisitions, asset purchases, and related business transactions.

Any information, documents, templates, explanations, or suggestions provided through the Platform are for informational and workflow purposes only and should not be relied upon as legal advice or as a substitute for consultation with qualified legal counsel.
You are solely responsible for determining whether the documents, terms, and transaction structures generated or facilitated by the Platform are appropriate for your specific transaction and comply with applicable law. You should consult with your own independent legal counsel before entering into any transaction or relying on any document generated through the Platform.
DoneDeal makes no representations or warranties regarding the legal sufficiency, enforceability, or appropriateness of any documents or information provided through the Platform for your particular circumstances.

11. Document Ownership and Release
11.1. Ownership of Generated Documents
As between you and DoneDeal, you own all rights, title, and interest in and to the transaction documents generated through the Platform using your User Content and deal data (the "Generated Documents"), subject to the payment and release provisions in Sections 12 and 13.
11.2. In-Platform Access and Collaboration
Prior to payment of all applicable fees, you may view, edit, collaborate on, and negotiate Generated Documents within the Platform interface. However, you may not download, export, print, or otherwise remove Generated Documents from the Platform until all applicable fees have been paid in full and the transaction has reached the requisite completion stage, as described in Section 13.
11.3. Release of Final Documents
Upon payment of all applicable Subscription Fees and Transaction Fees (as defined in Sections 12 and 13), and upon satisfaction of all closing conditions and completion of the closing checklist within the Platform, DoneDeal will release the Generated Documents to you in the form of a downloadable PDF closing binder. Once released, you may use, reproduce, and distribute the Generated Documents as you see fit in connection with your transaction.
11.4. DoneDeal's Retained Rights
Notwithstanding Section 11.1, DoneDeal retains the right to:
- Retain copies of Generated Documents and associated deal data on the Platform for your future reference and for Platform functionality (including version history, audit logs, deal archives, and deal metrics such as timing, timeline, deliverables, communications, uploads, cadence, and other workflow data)

- Access Generated Documents as necessary to provide the Platform, comply with legal obligations, or enforce these Terms
11.5. Archival and Historical Access

You may reference historical deal data for future transactions to the extent permitted by our data retention and deletion policies. DoneDeal may delete or archive User Content and Generated Documents in accordance with our data retention policies or upon termination of your account.
12. Subscription Fees and Deal Activation
12.1. Subscription Fee Structure
Use of certain Platform features requires payment of a monthly subscription fee (the "Subscription Fee"). The Subscription Fee structure is as follows:
- Primary User Subscription: The primary user on each side of a transaction (buyer-side and seller-side) is subject to a Subscription Fee per month per deal, as further set forth on DoneDeal's then current pricing page, commencing upon activation of that deal as described in Section 12.2.
- Additional User Subscription: Additional users may be added to a deal at a separate per month per user rate, subject to DoneDeal's then-current pricing structure.
- Multiple Deals: If you have multiple active deals, the Subscription Fee applies separately to each active deal. DoneDeal may offer volume discounts or bundled pricing for multiple concurrent deals at its discretion.
12.2. Deal Activation Fee
To activate a deal and unlock full Platform functionality for that deal, the deal owner (the user who created the deal) must pay a one-time deal activation fee (the "Activation Fee") of $500 per deal. The Activation Fee is due upon activation of the deal and is separate from and in addition to the Subscription Fee and Transaction Fee.
12.3. Functionality Prior to Activation
Prior to payment of the Activation Fee, you may access limited Platform functionality, including initial deal setup and document building. However, you may not:
- Send documents to counterparties
- Edit documents beyond the initial build stage
- Access advanced collaboration, negotiation, or signature routing features
- Download or export any documents
12.4. Functionality After Activation
Upon payment of the Activation Fee and commencement of Subscription Fee payments, you may access full Platform functionality for the activated deal, including document editing, counterparty collaboration, negotiation workflows, and all other Platform features, subject to the Transaction Fee and release provisions in Section 13.
12.5. Credit of Subscription Fees Against Transaction Fee
All Subscription Fees and Activation Fees paid by you for a particular deal will be credited against the Transaction Fee due at closing for that deal. Upon payment of the Transaction Fee, you will receive a credit equal to the total amount of Subscription Fees and Activation Fees previously paid for that deal, effectively reducing the net Transaction Fee owed.
12.6. Subscription Fee Changes
DoneDeal reserves the right to modify the Subscription Fee, Activation Fee, or pricing structure at any time upon notice to you, which may be provided by email or through the Platform. Fee changes will apply to new deals activated after the effective date of the change. For active subscriptions, fee changes will take effect upon your next billing cycle following notice, or as otherwise specified in the notice.
13. Transaction Fees and Payment Gating
13.1. Transaction Fee
Upon completion of a transaction facilitated through the Platform, you agree to pay DoneDeal a transaction fee (the "Transaction Fee") equal to 0.25% of the total purchase price of the transaction, with a minimum Transaction Fee of $10,000 per transaction, less any credits for Subscription Fees and Activation Fees paid as described in Section 12.5.
13.2. Transaction Fee Trigger
The Transaction Fee becomes due and payable when:
- All operative transaction documents have been moved to "Final Form" status within the Platform
- The closing checklist has been marked as fully complete
- The transaction is ready to proceed to signature and closing
13.3. Payment Gating and Document Release
DoneDeal will not release Generated Documents for download or export, and will not release executed signature pages or facilitate final closing, until the Transaction Fee has been paid in full. You may continue to view and work with documents within the Platform, but you may not remove documents from the Platform or finalize the transaction until payment is complete.
13.4. Buyer and Seller Responsibility; Fee Sponsorship
The Transaction Fee is the responsibility of the buyer in the transaction. DoneDeal may also charge a separate Transaction Fee to the seller, at the same rate and subject to the same terms. Either party may elect to sponsor or pay the other party's Transaction Fee, and DoneDeal will provide functionality to facilitate such arrangements.
In certain cases, legal counsel or business brokers involved in the transaction may pay the Transaction Fee on behalf of their clients and pass through the expense. Such arrangements must be coordinated through the Platform and are subject to DoneDeal's approval.
13.5. Transaction Fee Adjustments
DoneDeal reserves the right to implement dynamic or tiered pricing for Transaction Fees in the future, based on transaction size, complexity, or other factors. Any such changes will be communicated to you prior to the Transaction Fee becoming due for a particular transaction.
14. Payment Processing and Billing
14.1. Payment Methods
You agree to provide DoneDeal with valid and current payment information, including credit card or other payment account details. You authorize DoneDeal to charge all applicable fees to your designated payment method. Subscription Fees will be charged on a recurring monthly basis until you cancel your subscription or terminate your account.
14.2. Payment Processors
DoneDeal uses third-party payment processors to process payments. Your payment information will be subject to the terms and privacy policies of such payment processors. While DoneDeal will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of payment information, DoneDeal is not responsible for any unauthorized access to or disclosure of your payment information by third-party payment processors, and you agree to hold DoneDeal harmless for any damages resulting therefrom.
14.3. Billing Accuracy
You represent and warrant that all billing and payment information you provide is accurate, current, and complete. You agree to promptly update your payment information if it changes. Providing false or fraudulent payment information is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate termination of your account.
14.4. Failed Payments
If any payment is declined or fails for any reason, DoneDeal may suspend or restrict your access to the Platform until payment is received. DoneDeal reserves the right to charge late fees or interest on overdue amounts to the extent permitted by law.
14.5. No Refunds
All fees paid to DoneDeal are non-refundable, except as expressly provided in these Terms or as required by applicable law. This no-refund policy applies regardless of whether you terminate your account, DoneDeal terminates your access, or the Platform experiences disruptions or outages. DoneDeal may, in its sole discretion, offer refunds or credits on a case-by-case basis.
14.6. Taxes
All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, duties, and other governmental charges (collectively, "Taxes"). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with your use of the Platform, except for taxes based on DoneDeal's net income.

15.3. Benchmarking Features
The Platform may provide benchmarking features that allow you to compare your transaction terms, structures, and metrics against anonymized market data derived from other transactions facilitated through the Platform. Benchmarking data is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, financial, or business advice.

17.1. Third-Party Services
The Platform may integrate with or provide access to third-party services, applications, websites, or content ("Third-Party Services"), such as electronic signature providers, payment processors, data enrichment services, or other tools. Your use of Third-Party Services may be subject to separate terms and conditions and privacy policies imposed by the third-party providers.
17.2. No Endorsement; No Liability

18. Electronic Signatures and Execution
18.1. Electronic Signature Functionality
The Platform may provide functionality to route documents for electronic signature and to facilitate execution of transaction documents. DoneDeal may integrate with third-party electronic signature providers to enable this functionality.
18.2. Guest Signature Access
Certain documents or signature pages may be signed by individuals who do not have a Platform account ("Guest Signers"). Guest Signers will receive a unique document link that provides read-only access to the document and the ability to execute the signature page. Guest signature links will remain valid for seven (7) days from the date of issuance, unless extended by DoneDeal or the user who sent the link. If a Guest Signer wishes to edit or comment on a document, they must create a Platform account.
18.3. Legal Effect of Electronic Signatures
You acknowledge and agree that electronic signatures facilitated through the Platform are intended to have the same legal effect as handwritten signatures under applicable law, including the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). You are solely responsible for ensuring that electronic signatures are valid and enforceable for your particular transaction under applicable law.
18.4. No Guarantee of Enforceability
DoneDeal makes no representations or warranties regarding the legal validity, enforceability, or admissibility of any electronic signatures or executed documents facilitated through the Platform. You should consult with legal counsel regarding the enforceability of electronic signatures in your jurisdiction and for your specific transaction.
19. Affiliate Law Firm Services
19.1. Availability of Legal Services
DoneDeal may partner with or refer you to affiliated or third-party law firms that offer legal services at negotiated rates for DoneDeal users ("Affiliate Law Firms"). These legal services are entirely optional and are not required to use the Platform.
19.2. Independent Third Parties
Affiliate Law Firms are independent third parties and are not employees, agents, or representatives of DoneDeal. Any legal services provided by Affiliate Law Firms are provided directly by the law firm, not by DoneDeal. The attorney-client relationship, if any, is between you and the Affiliate Law Firm, not between you and DoneDeal.
19.3. No Endorsement; No Liability
DoneDeal does not endorse, guarantee, or assume any responsibility for the quality, competence, or performance of any Affiliate Law Firm or the legal services they provide. DoneDeal makes no representations or warranties regarding Affiliate Law Firms or their services.

19.4. Separate Engagement
If you choose to engage an Affiliate Law Firm, you will enter into a separate engagement agreement directly with the law firm. The terms of that engagement, including fees, scope of representation, and professional responsibilities, are governed by the engagement agreement and applicable rules of professional conduct, not by these Terms.
19.5. Conflicts of Interest and Ethics Compliance
Affiliate Law Firms are subject to applicable rules of professional conduct and ethics rules governing attorneys, including rules prohibiting conflicts of interest. An Affiliate Law Firm may not represent both the buyer and seller in the same transaction or otherwise undertake representation that would violate applicable ethics rules. DoneDeal is not responsible for ensuring compliance with ethics rules; that responsibility rests solely with the Affiliate Law Firm and the individual attorneys.
19.6. Referral Arrangements
DoneDeal may receive referral fees, revenue sharing, or other compensation from Affiliate Law Firms in connection with referrals made through the Platform, to the extent permitted by applicable law and rules of professional conduct.

25. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
25.1. Informal Dispute Resolution
Before initiating arbitration or litigation, you agree to first contact DoneDeal to attempt to resolve any dispute informally. You may contact DoneDeal at legal@itsadonedeal.ai. You must provide a written description of the dispute, your contact information, and the relief you seek. DoneDeal will attempt to resolve the dispute informally within thirty (30) days of receiving your notice.
25.2. Binding Arbitration
If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, you and DoneDeal agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform (collectively, "Disputes") will be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration administered by JAMS (Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services) in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, except as modified by this Section 25.
BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU AND DONEDEAL ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
25.3. Arbitration Procedures
The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitration will take place in Miami, Florida, unless the parties agree otherwise or the arbitrator determines that another location is more appropriate. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of written submissions, through a telephonic or video hearing, or by an in-person hearing.
The arbitrator will have the authority to grant any remedy or relief that would be available in court, provided that the arbitrator may not award relief beyond what is necessary to provide relief warranted by your individual claim. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
25.4. Arbitration Fees
Each party will bear its own costs and attorneys' fees in arbitration, except that DoneDeal will pay the arbitrator's fees and JAMS administrative fees for claims of $10,000 or less, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.
25.5. Class Action Waiver
YOU AND DONEDEAL AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION OR LEGAL PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Neither you nor DoneDeal may participate in a class action, private attorney general action, or consolidated or representative proceeding with respect to any Dispute. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.
If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration agreement will be null and void, and any Dispute will be resolved in court as provided in Section 25.8.
25.6. Exceptions to Arbitration
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may:
- Bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim qualifies
- Seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to prevent infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by providing written notice to DoneDeal legal@itsadonedeal.ai within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your opt-out notice must include your name, address, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration agreement.

25.8. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and any Disputes will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles. If the arbitration agreement in this Section 25 is found to be unenforceable or if you validly opt out, any Dispute will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum.
