Users, before navigating the Site, are kindly asked to read the conditions indicated below with attention and, if they discover that they disagree with one or more of these conditions, they should refrain from making use of it. Visiting, remaining on and using any of the provided functions of the Site imply automatically consent to the below terms of use and the Privacy Policy.

For a user to make use of and take advantage of the services and functions offered on the Site, they must be at least sixteen years of age or older. By browsing the Site, the user makes clear and guarantees that they are or have exceeded at that moment the minimum age limit and have the capacity, rights and ability to agree and commit to the Terms of Service, on the basis of which the functioning of the Site is governed.

Creation, processing and deletion of your listing

The Site was created to promote businesses for sale to a wide audience of customers at any time by means of a specialized platform. By completing the necessary form and creating your listing on the Site, you are agreeing to the promotion of your business, and you obtain access to all of the services that we offer. The form for creating a listing is made up of certain necessary information fields (e.g., name, last name, telephone number, email, etc.) in which you are asked to fill in your personal data by your own free consent. The policy by which these data will be used is fully developed on the corresponding page of the Privacy Policy. The creation of your listing is the first step in promoting your business, and you can then put up the listing using the corresponding page “Create a Listing”.

In the case that the user wishes to modify their published data or data that is not shown to other users but only to the staff who manage the Site, they have the right to do so at any time they deem necessary. In order to change specific data, it will be necessary to communicate with us via email or by means of the contact form on the Site, explaining to us what information you believe needs to be changed. Additionally, you reserve the right to request the cancellation or deletion of your listing, along with the full deletion of all relevant data, following precisely the same process for modifying your listing. The processing procedure of cancellation or deletion of your listing will occur within a reasonable interval of time, unless there exists some specific reason that compels us to keep your data in our files, on the basis of some explicit legal provision or on the basis of the Principle regarding storage limitation (Article 5(1)(e)), according to which, when the purpose of the processing is fulfilled, those data within that category of data that concerns the particular processing in question must be deleted. E.g., regarding the deletion of customer data, after the customer relationship has come to an end, the legislation of the Tax Department must be followed, and with regard to the deletion of employee data, after the termination of labor relations, the legislation of the Department of Social Insurance Services, respectively. After the deletion of your account, you will be informed by email about the successful outcome of the process. There exists a possibility that your listing will appear to still be active on our servers or on servers of third parties for a small amount of time after the deletion of your account because of the nature of the internet.

The management of the Company reserves the right at any time to modify or delete your listing if it is found to contain illegal content, threats, slander, racism, libel, vulgarity, harassment or any other form of speech which is not related to the kind of information intended for the Site. In cases where deletion is deemed necessary, the user will be informed through an email message containing an appropriate explanation.

Material, Content and Information of your listing

The Site offers services related to buying and selling businesses through the publication of listings for businesses and relevant information on its pages. These listings are created, added to our database and published on the Site when the necessary information has been entered into the listing creation form by natural and legal persons. These persons must possess ownership of the business so that they are able to represent it or, otherwise, possess the proper authorization from the owner, otherwise they do not fulfil the appropriate prerequisites for the above-mentioned action. The Site reserves the right to ask the user who is submitting a listing to provide the necessary documents in order to verify and confirm the above information and prove ownership or suitable authorization. The material and information that comprise the listing and which the user submits are exclusively their own responsibility and are provided voluntarily. Material is defined as the content of a listing of all kinds such as personal information, financial statements and other details, pictures, graphics, sound, music, video, photographs, messages, location, operating system, comments and every other form of information that the user may submit and publish on the Site. The Site, the Company which manages it, and its employees are not responsible for the accuracy of this content and do not have the ability to fully examine the reliability of the information submitted by users; this is exclusively the responsibility of the users themselves. The simple act of promoting a business cannot be considered to be the giving of expert counsel on the part of the Company.

By using, navigating and submitting information to the Site, the user automatically agrees and consents to the utilization of the information in question by Business Interval in order to promote the listing of their company. However, all personal data will remain private and will be used exclusively by the Company for the purposes of communicating with the user, while with regard to any other information concerning the management of your data, you can visit the webpage containing the Privacy Policy. Moreover, the user agrees that (1) the material that they provide to the Company and promote is in accordance with and does not violate the Terms of Use which govern the use of this Site, (2) that they possess the right to use the material they provide to the Company to promote their business, either by ownership or by legal authorization, (3) that, to the best of your knowledge,  the content of the listing that you provide to us is complete and true and (4) that the material that you submit does not infringe upon or violate the rights of third parties. Business Interval is not liable in cases where material submitted is erroneous due to the actions of the user.

By using the Site, the user agrees to the present Terms of Use and to the fact that navigating and making use of its functions and offered services is done exclusively at your own risk.

The Site of Business Interval is governed by the present Terms of Use, with which users must be in agreement in order to take advantage of its services and content. These Terms of Use supersede any previous agreement or interpretation pertaining to the Content or Material of the Site as well as the services and products offered by it. In the case of a possible dispute or conflict arising connected to the smooth functioning of the Site and the present Terms of Use, the Terms are to keep their precedence, since they hold priority and express the Company which manages the Site. If, for any reason, a portion or part of the terms of use becomes inapplicable, invalid or illicit, then that particular part, and that alone, will be considered as an exception to be invalid, without this affecting the validity and applicability of the rest of the Terms of Use for the Site.

If, for any reason, Business Interval is unable to implement a part of the Terms of Use outlined here, in no case will this event carry with it the implication that the Company is giving up the rights in question or the right to impose these Terms in the future.
