Terms of Service

Effective Date: January 1, 2026  ·  Last Updated: January 1, 2026
Important: FranchiseDealBreaker is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Our reports are AI-powered information synthesis for educational purposes only. Always consult a licensed franchise attorney before signing any franchise agreement or making any investment decision.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of franchisedealbreaker.com and all related services (collectively, the "Service") operated by FranchiseDealBreaker ("we," "us," or "our"). By using our Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. Description of Service

FranchiseDealBreaker provides AI-powered analysis of Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs) for informational and educational purposes. Our reports synthesize information from submitted documents and provide plain-English summaries of FDD contents. We are an information service, not a legal, financial, or investment advisory service.

2. Not Legal Advice

Our reports do not constitute legal advice, legal opinions, or recommendations to make or refrain from making any investment. FranchiseDealBreaker is not a law firm. Our analysis is generated by artificial intelligence and has not been reviewed by a licensed attorney. You should not rely on our reports as a substitute for advice from a qualified franchise attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.

We strongly recommend consulting a licensed franchise attorney before signing any franchise agreement, making any payment to a franchisor, or committing to any franchise investment.

3. Accuracy and Limitations

Our analysis is based solely on the document you submit and the capabilities of AI language models. We make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of our reports. AI systems can make errors, miss nuances, and misinterpret complex legal language. Our reports are starting points for further investigation, not definitive assessments.

4. Purchases and Refunds

All purchases are final. Because our service involves the immediate processing of your submitted document, we do not offer refunds once analysis has begun. If you experience a technical failure that prevents delivery of your report, contact us at hello@franchisedealbreaker.com and we will work to resolve the issue or issue a credit at our discretion.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree to use our Service only for lawful purposes. You may not:

6. Intellectual Property

Our website content, brand, design, and report formats are owned by FranchiseDealBreaker and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. The analysis report we deliver to you is licensed for your personal use only. The underlying FDD you submit remains the property of the relevant franchisor.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, FranchiseDealBreaker shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our Service or reliance on our reports, including but not limited to investment losses, franchise business losses, or decisions made in reliance on our analysis. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid for the specific report giving rise to the claim.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless FranchiseDealBreaker from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of our Service, your violation of these Terms, or your reliance on our reports in connection with any investment or business decision.

9. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Marion County, Indiana.

10. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms periodically. Continued use of our Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
