01Website operator and scope
This website, vdacq.com (the “Site”), is operated by GEA RE LLC (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a U.S. subsidiary of Van Dyke Acquisitions, a Nevis entity. GEA RE LLC is the contracting party for these Website Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”). References to Van Dyke, VDA, or the broader group describe the brand or group as context requires; they do not make every group company a party to these Terms.
These Terms govern the Site, its information, resources, inquiry facilities, and associated communications (collectively, the “Services”). Acquisitions, financing, consulting, investments, employment, and other commercial relationships require separate arrangements with the specifically identified legal entity. Each group company is a separate legal entity. A signed agreement controls its subject matter if it conflicts with these Terms.
02Using the Site
Please read these Terms before using the Services. By using the Services after being given notice of these Terms, you agree to them to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, please discontinue use. Where affirmative consent is legally required, publication of these Terms alone does not replace that consent.
The Services are intended for adults acting in a business or professional capacity. If you act for an organization, you represent that you have authority to provide its information and make the requests you submit. You are responsible for complying with laws applicable to your use and location.
03Information, not professional advice
Site content is general information, not individualized investment, financial, legal, tax, accounting, or other professional advice. Operating frameworks, educational materials, examples, and AI-assisted responses may not fit your circumstances. Assess information independently and consult appropriate advisers before acting. Accessing the Site or contacting us does not, by itself, establish an advisory, fiduciary, client, brokerage, or other professional relationship.
04Transactions and financing
Nothing on the Site constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy securities, a commitment to acquire a business, or a commitment to provide funding or services. Descriptions of financing products and example terms are for discussion only. Availability, eligibility, pricing, structure, and timing depend on diligence, underwriting, approvals, applicable law, and definitive documentation.
A submission, preliminary discussion, proposal, indication of interest, or automated response is not, by itself, an approval or binding transaction commitment. Any binding commitment must satisfy applicable law and the authorization and documentation requirements communicated for that transaction. These Terms do not override an otherwise valid agreement or an obligation imposed by law.
05Historical examples and forward-looking statements
Selected businesses, case studies, and historical outcomes illustrate experience and are not a complete account of every investment, engagement, or result. Involvement may have been through different entities or roles, as described. Revenue figures are not enterprise values, investment returns, or proceeds unless expressly identified as such. Past results do not guarantee future performance.
Statements about plans, objectives, opportunities, estimates, and expected results are forward-looking and involve uncertainty. Actual outcomes may differ materially. Information speaks as of its stated date or context and may change; we do not undertake to update every statement except as required by law.
06Inquiries and submitted information
Provide information that is accurate to your knowledge and that you are authorized to share. Do not submit trade secrets, highly sensitive personal information, bank credentials, or confidential deal materials through an ordinary inquiry form or unsolicited message. Arrange an appropriate confidentiality agreement and secure exchange method first. An inquiry alone does not create a nondisclosure agreement, exclusivity obligation, or duty to evaluate or pursue an opportunity.
You retain ownership of your submitted materials. You permit the Company to use and share them with personnel, service providers, and relevant group entities as reasonably necessary to evaluate and respond to your inquiry, subject to applicable law and any confidentiality agreement. This permission does not transfer ownership of your business, intellectual property, or transaction opportunity. Do not submit another party’s information in breach of your obligations to that party.
07Restricted information and access
Some portfolio information, documents, or tools may require approval or access credentials. Access is limited to the authorized recipient and permitted purpose. Protect credentials, do not share restricted materials without authorization, and notify us of suspected misuse. Access approval does not establish investor eligibility, endorse a transaction, or waive restrictions in a separate agreement. We may decline or revoke access where reasonably necessary to protect the Services or enforce applicable restrictions.
08Team, Employees, and AI Agents
References in these Terms to the Company’s “team,” “employees,” “staff,” “personnel,” representatives, or similar terms include full-time employees, part-time employees, contractors, consultants, and AI agents or systems engaged by the Company to perform tasks or services on its behalf.
The Company uses AI agents as part of an AI-forward operating model intended to accelerate the conduct of its business and the delivery of communications, responses, and services. Certain AI agents may interact with you under specific named identities as members of the Company’s team. Such interactions may occur via email, Microsoft Teams, Slack, telephone, SMS/text, Zoom or other video or audio meetings, and comparable channels.
You acknowledge that communications and interactions with the Company may be conducted by human personnel, AI agents, or a combination of both. The use of a name, title, or Company communication channel does not, by itself, represent that the correspondent is a natural person. AI agents are automated software systems deployed under the Company’s direction. To the extent they act within the authority granted by the Company, their communications, commitments, and actions are attributable to the Company, subject to these Terms, any applicable agreement, and applicable law. Nothing in this provision overrides an express representation concerning a particular individual, dispenses with legally required disclosures or consent, alters any person’s legal employment status, or excludes rights or liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.
09Electronic communications
We may respond to an inquiry using the contact details you provide. Electronic communications and signatures may have legal effect where the parties agree and applicable law permits. These Terms do not constitute blanket consent to marketing calls or texts, artificial or prerecorded voice calls, or recording of communications. Any legally required notice, consent, or opt-out process remains applicable.
AI systems can make mistakes. If a response is unclear, appears inaccurate, or concerns a material decision, request confirmation from an authorized human representative at deals@vdacq.com. This request mechanism does not limit the Company’s responsibility for communications attributable to it under these Terms or applicable law.
10Intellectual property and resources
The Site’s design, text, graphics, brands, and resources are owned by or licensed to their respective rights holders. Subject to these Terms and any resource-specific license, you may view the Site and download materials made available for that purpose for personal or internal business use. Preserve copyright and other ownership notices.
No ownership or trademark rights are transferred. Without permission or another legal basis, you may not republish, sell, materially reproduce, or commercially distribute Site materials, imply endorsement, or use our or another company’s branding. Rights expressly granted by a separate license, and uses permitted by law, are unaffected.
11Acceptable use
Do not use the Services for fraud, unlawful conduct, harassment, impersonation, infringement, or misleading submissions. Do not introduce malicious code, disrupt service, bypass access controls, probe systems without authorization, misuse credentials, or extract restricted or personal information without authority. Automated access must comply with applicable law, access controls, and published crawl instructions and must not unreasonably burden the Site. Ordinary lawful search-engine indexing of public pages is permitted.
12Other websites and businesses
Links may lead to portfolio businesses, affiliates, partners, or independent third parties. Their sites, products, services, privacy practices, and contractual terms are separate. A link or logo does not by itself create a guarantee, agency relationship, or endorsement of every statement or offering on the linked site. Verify the identity of the entity with which you are dealing and review its applicable terms.
13Careers
Job postings describe opportunities that may change or close. Submitting an application does not create an employment relationship or guarantee an interview or offer. Employment or engagement terms, including the identity of the hiring entity, are established separately. The terminology in the team and AI-agent section does not determine employment classification, benefits, or statutory rights.
14Information handling
Inquiries may include your name, organization, contact details, and information you choose to provide. We use that information to evaluate and respond to requests, administer the Services, protect our systems, and meet legal obligations. Information may be handled by authorized personnel, relevant group entities, and providers supporting those activities, subject to applicable law and any applicable agreement or additional privacy notice.
Do not use the Site to send information that requires protections not yet agreed with us. No internet transmission can be guaranteed secure. Questions about the handling of your information or requests concerning applicable privacy rights may be directed to deals@vdacq.com. These Terms do not waive privacy rights or replace any additional privacy disclosure or consent required by law.
15Availability and warranties
We may update, correct, suspend, or discontinue Site content or features. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site and general informational materials are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or noninfringement. We do not guarantee that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that general information will be complete or current for every purpose.
These limitations do not negate express contractual promises, excuse unlawful or misleading conduct, or limit warranties and protections that cannot lawfully be excluded.
16Limits of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or resulting lost profits, arising from use of or inability to use the Site, even if advised of their possibility. This limitation concerns the website Services; liability under a separate transaction or service agreement is governed by that agreement.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or any obligation or remedy that applicable law does not permit to be excluded or limited. Mandatory consumer protections and other nonwaivable rights remain in effect. Where a restriction is not permitted, it applies only to the extent lawful.
17Suspension and changes to these Terms
We may restrict access for a material breach of these Terms, a security concern, or a legal requirement, without limiting rights under a separate agreement. Provisions that by their nature should continue, including ownership, applicable restrictions, and dispute provisions, survive discontinuation of access.
We may revise these Terms prospectively by posting an updated version and effective date. We will provide additional notice or obtain consent where required by law. Revisions do not retroactively alter accrued rights or amend a separate signed agreement. Review the current Terms when using the Services.
18Florida law and disputes
These Terms and disputes arising from the website Services are governed by Florida law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, subject to applicable federal law and nonwaivable protections. Subject to any mandatory jurisdiction or venue rule, the parties submit to the jurisdiction of state courts in Florida and federal courts located in Florida that have jurisdiction over the dispute.
This provision does not alter a governing-law, forum, or dispute-resolution provision in a separate agreement or require waiver of rights that applicable law protects.
19General provisions
If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions continue in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms govern website use together with any expressly applicable additional terms; separate signed agreements govern their own subject matter. No third-party beneficiary rights are created except where expressly stated in an applicable agreement or required by law.
