Terms and Conditions.

Last updated: September 7, 2026.

These Terms and Conditions govern your use of tworldascend.com (the “Website”), operated by Ascend Business Advisors Inc., doing business as Transworld Ascend (“Transworld Ascend,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

Information, Not Professional Advice.

The Website provides general information about business sales, business valuation, exit planning, buyer financing, mergers and acquisitions, and related topics. It is provided for educational and informational purposes only. Website content is not legal, tax, accounting, investment, financing, or other professional advice and should not be treated as a substitute for advice from qualified professionals familiar with your circumstances.

No Client or Brokerage Relationship.

Using the Website, contacting us, or submitting an inquiry does not create a broker-client, advisory, fiduciary, attorney-client, or other professional relationship. A professional relationship is created only when the relevant parties sign a written engagement or brokerage agreement. We may decline an inquiry or determine that a proposed engagement is not suitable.

Valuations, Buyers, and Transaction Outcomes.

Any examples, valuation ranges, market observations, transaction timelines, financing information, or potential outcomes described on the Website are general illustrations. The value and marketability of a business depend on its financial performance, records, industry, assets, risks, buyer demand, financing availability, deal structure, and other factors. We do not guarantee a valuation, buyer, sale price, financing approval, closing date, or completed transaction.

Inquiries and Confidentiality.

You may use the Website’s inquiry form only if you are the owner of, or are authorized to represent, the business described. You agree that information you submit is accurate to the best of your knowledge and does not violate another person’s rights. We handle inquiry information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Although we use reasonable safeguards and treat seller inquiries as confidential, internet transmission cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure. Do not submit passwords, bank-account details, Social Security numbers, or other information that is not requested by the form.

Permitted Use.

You may access and use the Website for lawful, personal, or internal business purposes. You may not attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to the Website, introduce malicious code, scrape or copy substantial portions of the Website through automated means, misrepresent your identity or authority, use the Website to violate law or another person’s rights, or use our content or branding in a way that suggests endorsement or affiliation without written permission.

Intellectual Property.

Unless otherwise stated, the Website and its original text, design, graphics, logos, downloads, and other materials are owned by or licensed to Transworld Ascend and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may view, download, or print reasonable portions for your own non-commercial use, provided you retain any notices. No other reproduction, publication, modification, distribution, or commercial use is permitted without prior written consent. Third-party names and marks remain the property of their respective owners.

Third-Party Websites.

The Website links to third-party websites, including Transworld Business Advisors resources and services. Those websites are operated independently and may have different terms and privacy practices. Links are provided for convenience and do not make us responsible for third-party content, availability, products, security, or practices.

Independent Ownership.

Transworld Ascend is an independently owned and operated franchise of Transworld Business Advisors. Transworld Business Advisors and its affiliates are not parties to these Terms, do not operate this Website, and are not responsible for its content or for any services provided by Transworld Ascend. Transworld® and related names and marks are the property of their respective owners and are used under license.

Availability and Changes.

We may update, suspend, withdraw, or change Website content or functionality at any time. We aim to keep information useful and current but do not warrant that the Website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, complete, or error-free.

Disclaimer of Warranties.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Limitation of Liability.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Transworld Ascend and its owners, personnel, affiliates, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, loss of profits, loss of business opportunity, or loss of data arising from use of, or inability to use, the Website. This limitation does not apply where liability cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

Governing Law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute relating to the Website or these Terms will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in New Jersey, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Severability and Waiver.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not waive that provision or any other right.

Changes to These Terms.

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Website after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
