| Welcome to Merchant Portfolios.com, a service and wholly owned
subsidiary of GRASP Business Brokers, Inc., d/b/a GRASP Business
Associates. By using this website, you accept the terms of this
Visitor Agreement. This is a legally binding agreement between
you and Merchant Portfolios.com; please read it carefully.
1. General Provisions
Merchant Portfolios.com respects your privacy. Please take
a moment to review our privacy statement.
We invite you to bring to our attention any material on our
site that you believe to be inaccurate. Please forward a copy
of the material to our Customer Service Manager, along with an
explanation of your objection.
If you are an owner of intellectual property who believes your
intellectual property has been improperly posted or distributed
via this website, please notify us by sending email to info@merchantportfolios.com
or by sending a notice by U.S. Mail to: GRASP Business Brokers
Inc., Copyright Violations Department, PO Box 2218, Framingham,
MA 01703.
The Web is an evolving medium. Merchant Portfolios.com may
change the terms of this agreement from time to time. By continuing
to use this website following our posting of such changes, you
agree to be bound by this agreement, as modified. Merchant Portfolios.com
may change, restrict access to, suspend, or discontinue this
website, or any portion of this website, at any time.
The material that appears on Merchant Portfolios.com is for
informational purposes only. Despite our efforts to provide useful
and accurate information, errors may appear from time to time.
Before purchasing goods or services you've read about on Merchant
Portfolios.com, you should confirm with the vendor any information
that is important to your purchasing decision. Merchant Portfolios.com
is not responsible for, and does not guarantee the performance
of, any such goods or services.
2. Buying and Selling Portfolios, Residuals, and ISOs
Merchant Portfolios.com is a listing and information service
that brings together buyers and sellers in the electronic payments
and transaction industry. Information about a particular listing
is supplied by the seller, not by Merchant Portfolios.com. The
price and other terms of any sale remain subject to final negotiation
between the buyer and the seller. Though we hope that all who
come to Merchant Portfolios.com will act honorably and treat
each other fairly, we can't verify the information sellers supply
or guarantee the items they offer. Nor can we assure the seller
that the payment he/she gets from the buyer isn't going to bounce.
When using this website to find an item to buy, we urge you to
use the appropriate specialists such as accountants, appraisers,
and attorneys, that will help you in evaluating and consummating
a contemplated transaction. There is no substitute for healthy
skepticism and your own good judgment.
In connection with our efforts to combat Internet fraud, listings
are screened before being posted publicly. This process delays
the display of listings.
When you offer a portfolio, residual, or ISO for sale through
Merchant Portfolios.com, you must be prepared to sell that item
as you've described it. You must have possession of the actual
entity / item listed and the ability to transfer it. To list
a portfolio, residual or ISO for sale on Merchant Portfolios.com,
sellers are required to provide certain identifying and contact
information. The information must accurately identify the seller
and the method of contact must permit Merchant Portfolios.com
to communicate directly with the seller. You may not use our
website to promote, without our prior written permission, any
other website, product or service.
To find out more about listing and advertising opportunities
on Merchant Portfolios.com, contact us at info@merchantportfolios.com
or call us at 866.448.1885. Merchant Portfolios.com reserves
the right to deny use of this website to anyone who does not
comply with these requirements or who otherwise uses our website
in a manner we consider inappropriate.
Responsibility for the information contained in ads lies with
each seller. You alone are responsible for material you provide
to us and that is ultimately posted on the site. You are also
responsible for the content of all email messages transmitted
through Merchant Portfolios.com. Nothing will undermine a buyer’s
confidence in the portfolio, residual, or ISO you're looking
to sell faster than inaccurate statements or misleading representations.
And since any erosion of buyer confidence in you is likely to
be accompanied by erosion of user confidence in us, we care deeply
about making sure that the information you supply is accurate
and that, in all respects, you treat Merchant Portfolios.com
users fairly and honorably.
We may perform quality assurance tests to confirm that those
who offer portfolios, residuals and ISOs for sale over Merchant
Portfolios.com are prepared to sell them as they have listed
them. By using our service, you agree to cooperate in these quality
assurance tests. If our tests reveal, or we otherwise learn,
that a seller is engaging in "bait and switch" or other
unfair or deceptive practices, Merchant Portfolios.com reserves
the right to deny that seller use of our services.
Although Merchant Portfolios.com cannot monitor all the listings
posted to our website, we reserve the right (but assume no obligation)
to delete, move, or edit any ads or other postings that come
to our attention that we consider unacceptable or inappropriate,
whether for legal or other reasons. By using Merchant Portfolios.com
you agree not to post or transmit any defamatory, abusive, obscene,
threatening, misleading, or illegal material, or any other material
that infringes on the rights of others or interferes with the
ability of others to enjoy Merchant Portfolios.com. We retain
the right to deny access to anyone who we believe has violated
these terms or any other term of this agreement. We will not,
in the ordinary course of business, review the content of private
electronic messages that are not addressed to Merchant Portfolios.com.
However, we may occasionally release information concerning such
communications when release is appropriate to comply with law
(including disclosure in response to a request from a law enforcement
agency), to enforce our Visitor Agreement, or to protect the
rights, property or safety of visitors to our site, our advertisers,
the public or Merchant Portfolios.com.
By listing your portfolio, residual or ISO with our service,
you agree to pay the fees specified in your contract with Merchant
Portfolios.com
3. Links to Other Sites
For your convenience, we make available a variety of links
to other websites that we don't operate where you can obtain
automotive related products and services, including legal, financial
and appraisal services. Although we encourage you to consult
such websites, we cannot guarantee the prices, terms, quality,
reliability or performance of the products or services provided
by these vendors. Merchant Portfolios.com is not responsible
for the products or services these vendors provide. If you choose
to purchase anything through such a third-party website, remember
that an appraisal is not a guarantee of price. Although appraisals
can be of significant value in the sale of a portfolio, residual
or ISO, an appraisal is not a guarantee that items for sale will
sell at the appraised price. Before you purchase appraisal services,
you should confirm with the appraiser the location at which the
appraisal will be conducted, the scope and price of the appraisal,
and any other information you consider important to your decision.
You are responsible for coordinating and arranging for the appraisal.
You release Merchant Portfolios.com and its affiliates from any
damages that you may incur, and agree not to assert any claims
against them, arising from your purchase or use of third-party
supplied products and services.
