Terms & Conditions

The legal terms governing your use of CIM Amplify.

Terms and Conditions

Last updated May 18, 2026

Please be careful of any deal posted anywhere.  Proper and in-depth due diligence should be applied to all deals.  CIM Amplify does not and could not possibly verify the information posted as deals on our website.  If you have any suspicions about any deal posted on CIM Amplify, please contact us immediately via our contact form.  We will not tolerate any shenanigans.

1. Agreement to These Terms

CIM Amplify ("Company," "we," "us," "our") operates the website at https://cimamplify.com/ and the platform at https://app.cimamplify.com/ (together, the "Services"). These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you — whether as an individual or on behalf of an entity ("you") — and CIM Amplify, governing your access to and use of the Services.

By accessing or using the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Services.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects when the current version was published. Continued use of the Services after an update constitutes acceptance.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services. The Services are intended for use by M&A professionals — including advisors, brokers, investment bankers, private equity firms, family offices, independent sponsors, strategic acquirers, and similar parties — accessing the platform in a professional capacity.

You may not use the Services from any jurisdiction where access would be contrary to local law, nor in any manner that would violate Canadian or United States export, sanctions, or anti-money-laundering laws.

3. The Services

CIM Amplify is a marketplace that connects M&A advisors with prospective buyers for businesses being offered for sale:

  • Advisors post deal opportunities and select which matched buyers to invite.
  • Buyers create profiles with acquisition criteria and receive invitations to deals matched to those criteria.
  • CIM Amplify facilitates the match and tracks engagement; we are not a broker, dealer, investment advisor, or party to any transaction.

4. User Accounts

To use most features of the Services you must register. You agree that all information you provide is true, accurate, current, and complete, and that you will update it promptly as it changes. You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us via our contact form if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that provide false information, breach these Terms, or otherwise misuse the Services.

5. Advisor Obligations

If you post deals as an Advisor, you represent and warrant that:

  • You are duly authorized by the deal's seller to market the opportunity.
  • All deal information you post is accurate to the best of your knowledge and not misleading.
  • You will not include personally identifying information about the seller without consent, and you will protect confidential information appropriately.
  • You have the right to share any Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) or supporting materials that you make available through the Services.

6. Buyer Obligations

If you register as a Buyer, you represent and warrant that:

  • The acquisition criteria, capital availability, and other information in your profile are true and current.
  • You have the genuine capacity and intent to acquire businesses in the categories you select.
  • You will not use deal information received through the Services to contact sellers, customers, employees, vendors, or other parties associated with a posted deal outside the platform, except as expressly invited by the Advisor.
  • You will hold all deal information in strict confidence in accordance with Section 7.

7. Confidentiality

Deal information posted on the Services is non-public, sensitive business information. By accessing any deal listing or related materials, you agree:

  • To use the information solely for the purpose of evaluating a possible acquisition.
  • Not to disclose, copy, distribute, or publish the information to any third party other than your employees, professional advisors, and capital sources who have a need to know and who are bound by equivalent confidentiality obligations.
  • That breach of confidentiality may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages are inadequate, entitling the Advisor or the seller to seek injunctive relief in addition to any other remedies.

This obligation survives termination of these Terms and your use of the Services.

8. Success Fee

CIM Amplify charges a success fee of 0.5% of the enterprise value of any business acquired by a Buyer where the deal was sourced or facilitated through the Services, subject to a minimum success fee of US$60,000.

The success fee is payable by the Buyer upon closing. The fee survives for a period of 24 months following the date the Buyer was first invited to or first accessed information about the deal through the Services.

Specific fee terms — including any reward or rebate programs offered to Advisors — are set out in the CIM Amplify Fee Agreement available at https://app.cimamplify.com/buyer/masterfeeagreement and form part of these Terms by reference for Buyers who accept that agreement.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Services for any unlawful purpose or to harass, harm, defraud, or deceive any party.
  • Scrape, mine, copy, or otherwise collect data from the Services through automated means.
  • Misrepresent your identity, capacity, or intent in any profile or submission.
  • Interfere with the operation, security, or integrity of the Services.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Services.
  • Use the Services to compete with CIM Amplify or to build a competing marketplace.
  • Bypass any access controls or security features of the Services.

10. Submissions and User Content

Content you post or submit through the Services — including deal listings, profile information, messages, and feedback ("User Content") — remains your property or that of the relevant rights holder.

By submitting User Content, you grant CIM Amplify a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, transmit, and use the User Content as necessary to operate the Services and to fulfill the purpose for which the content was submitted (for example, matching deals to buyers).

You represent that you have all rights and consents required to submit the User Content, and that the User Content does not infringe any third party's rights, breach any obligation of confidentiality, or violate any law.

We are not responsible for User Content. We may, but are not obligated to, review, edit, or remove User Content at our discretion.

11. Intellectual Property

The Services — including all software, design, text, graphics, logos, and the CIM Amplify name and marks — are owned by or licensed to CIM Amplify and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services solely as permitted by these Terms.

You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of any portion of the Services except as expressly permitted.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CIM AMPLIFY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

CIM AMPLIFY DOES NOT VERIFY THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR LEGITIMACY OF DEAL LISTINGS, ADVISOR REPRESENTATIONS, OR BUYER PROFILES. ALL USERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE ENTERING INTO ANY TRANSACTION. CIM AMPLIFY IS NOT A BROKER, DEALER, INVESTMENT ADVISOR, OR PARTY TO ANY TRANSACTION FACILITATED THROUGH THE SERVICES.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CIM AMPLIFY AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION — ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY DEAL OR TRANSACTION RELATED TO THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) FEES PAID BY YOU TO CIM AMPLIFY IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) US$1,000.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CIM Amplify, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claim, loss, or liability — including reasonable legal fees — arising from (a) your use of the Services, (b) your breach of these Terms, (c) your User Content, or (d) your violation of any law or third-party rights.

15. Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time, and may close your account by contacting us via our contact form. We may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms or if we determine in good faith that suspension or termination is appropriate.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including confidentiality, success-fee obligations, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification — survive.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

Informal resolution. If a dispute arises, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve it informally by written notice for a period of at least 60 days before commencing any formal proceedings.

Arbitration. Any dispute not resolved through informal negotiation shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered in Calgary, Alberta, by a single arbitrator agreed to by both parties (or, failing agreement, appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Act (Alberta)). The language of arbitration is English. The parties waive any right to participate in a class action or consolidated proceeding.

Exceptions. Claims for injunctive relief and claims to protect intellectual property or confidentiality may be brought in the courts of Alberta, Canada, and you consent to that jurisdiction for those purposes.

17. Privacy

Your use of the Services is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

18. Electronic Communications

By using the Services, you consent to receive electronic communications from us — including via email, in-platform messages, and notifications — and you agree that such communications, and any agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we send electronically, satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing.

19. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and (for Buyers who accept it) the CIM Amplify Fee Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and CIM Amplify regarding the Services.

Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.

No waiver. Failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between you and CIM Amplify.
