• The transfer of your information to our qualified third-party M&A advisory partners in Portugal
• Communication from both Marujo Partners and our partner firms regarding your inquiry

All third-party partners are carefully vetted and required to maintain appropriate data protection standards in compliance with GDPR and Portuguese law. However, once your information is transferred to a third-party partner, their own terms of service and privacy policies will also apply.

4. Confidentiality and Data Protection

We are committed to protecting your personal and business data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Portuguese data protection laws (Lei n.º 58/2019).

5. Valuation Services Disclaimer

The company valuation tool provided on our website offers preliminary estimates based on the information you provide. These estimates are for informational and referral purposes only and do not constitute a formal business valuation, professional advice, or a binding offer. A comprehensive valuation requires detailed analysis by qualified M&A professionals, which will be provided by our third-party advisory partners.

6. No Professional Advisory Relationship

Marujo Partners does not provide legal, financial, tax, or M&A advisory services. We are a referral service only. The information provided on our website is for general informational purposes and should not be considered professional advice.

Any professional advisory relationship will be established directly between you and our third-party partner firms. We recommend reviewing their terms of service, credentials, and qualifications before engaging their services.

7. Referral Fees and Compensation

Marujo Partners may receive referral fees or other compensation from third-party M&A advisory firms when we refer clients to them. This compensation does not affect the services you receive or the fees charged by the advisory firms. All partner firms are selected based on their qualifications and expertise.

8. Limitation of Liability

Marujo Partners acts solely as an intermediary and referral service. We make no representations or warranties regarding:

• The quality, accuracy, or completeness of services provided by third-party advisory firms

• The accuracy of preliminary valuations or estimates provided through our website

Marujo Partners shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of our referral services, website, or any services provided by third-party partners.
