Terms of use
Last updated 10 August 2026
These terms cover use of the Acquisition Engine website at acquisitionengine.uk. Use of the platform itself is governed by the written agreement between Chivvy Ltd and the client whose account you are using; where that agreement and these terms differ, that agreement wins.
Who we are
Acquisition Engine is a product of Chivvy Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, number 17040454.
Using this website
You may read this site and share links to it. You may not copy its content for use in a competing product, attempt to gain unauthorised access to the platform, or use automated tools to place unreasonable load on it.
Accounts
Platform accounts are issued to named individuals and must not be shared. Tell us straight away if you think an account has been compromised. We can suspend an account where we reasonably believe it is being misused or where it puts the confidentiality of a deal at risk.
What this site is not
Nothing on this site is legal, financial, tax or investment advice, and nothing on it is an offer to buy or sell a business or any interest in one. Deal information produced by the platform — scores, indicative values, estimated fee income — is an aid to judgement and not a valuation. Estimated figures are marked as estimates in the product and should be treated as such.
Availability
We aim to keep the platform available but do not guarantee uninterrupted service on this website. Planned maintenance affecting clients is notified under the relevant client agreement.
Liability
We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. Subject to that, and in relation to this website only, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, goodwill or data.
Law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
