Welcome to DSTIL — a platform designed to empower Business Owners through a more accessible, transparent, and intelligent SME transfer process. By accessing or using the DSTIL platform (the “Platform”) as a Business Owner, you agree to comply with the following Terms & Conditions (“T&C”). Please review them carefully.
Acceptance of Terms
By clicking “I Agree,” “Accept,” or using the Platform in any manner, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these T&C, including our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Platform.
Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age and have the legal authority to act on behalf of the SME you are registering. By accessing the Platform, you confirm that you meet these requirements.
Business Owner Account & Information Integrity
Account Setup: To use DSTIL as a Business Owner, you are required to create an account and provide current, accurate, and complete information about yourself and your business. You are responsible for all activity under your account.
Information Accuracy: You confirm that all information submitted — including business descriptions, financials, operational data, and legal documentation — is truthful, accurate, and not misleading. You must promptly update this information as necessary. Providing false or misleading data may result in suspension or termination of your account.
Use and Protection of Data
Internal Use: Data shared by Business Owners is used internally to facilitate intelligent matching with potential buyers, deliver personalized tools (e.g., valuation estimates, Deal Readiness Score), and enhance platform services.
Confidential Matching: Your business profile will be anonymized during initial exposure to potential buyers. Detailed information will only be shared after mutual consent for an introduction.
Data Protection Compliance: DSTIL adheres to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable French data laws (e.g., Loi Informatique et Libertés). For full transparency, see our Privacy Policy.
DSTIL’s Role & Disclaimers
Marketplace Only: DSTIL acts solely as a facilitator of initial introductions between Business Owners and buyers. We do not represent either party as an agent or broker.
Indicative Tools Only: All tools, recommendations, and insights (e.g., Deal Readiness Score, valuations) are indicative and algorithm-driven. They do not replace professional financial, legal, or tax advice.
No Transaction Guarantees: We do not guarantee business matches, transaction success, or any particular valuation outcome.
Due Diligence: Business Owners and buyers are solely responsible for conducting due diligence and obtaining professional advice before entering into any agreements.
Confidentiality
You agree to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information received about potential buyers through the Platform, unless legally required to disclose such information.
