Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern your use of the Stone & Co website at stoneadvisory.co.uk and the tools and content we make available on it. By using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you formally engage Stone & Co as an advisor on a transaction, that engagement will be governed by a separate engagement letter. These Terms do not apply to that work.

What this site is, and what it is not

This site provides general information about Stone & Co, our services, and the UK lower mid-market for M&A. It includes free diagnostic tools, the Exit Readiness Audit and the Valuation Calculator, and editorial content in our Newsroom.

The information and outputs on this site are provided for general guidance only. They are not, and should not be relied upon as, formal valuations, transaction advice, financial advice, legal advice, tax advice, or an offer or invitation to enter into any transaction.

The Exit Readiness Audit produces an indicative readiness score. The Valuation Calculator produces an indicative valuation range. Both rely entirely on the information you provide and on published benchmarks; neither produces a formal valuation or a binding view of any kind. Specific decisions about your business should be made only after taking proper professional advice tailored to your circumstances.

Using the site

When you use the site, you agree:

• To provide accurate information when you complete our forms or tools
• Not to use the site or its content in any way that is unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful
• Not to copy, reproduce, or republish substantial portions of our content for commercial purposes without our written permission
• Not to attempt to interfere with the site's operation or security

Intellectual property

The content on this site, including text, design, the Stone & Co name and logo, our editorial articles, and the methodology behind our tools, belongs to Stone & Co (Enablematic Consulting Agency Ltd). You may share short extracts with proper attribution and a link back to the source. You may not reproduce substantial sections without our written permission.

Limitation of liability

We take reasonable care to ensure the information and tools on this site are accurate and useful. However:

• The outputs of the site, including the Exit Readiness Audit and Valuation Calculator, are indicative only and may not reflect what your business is actually worth or how prepared it is for a transaction. Real transactions involve many factors no automated tool can capture.
• We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
• To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability for any loss or damage arising from your reliance on information or outputs from this site, except where caused by our fraud, our wilful misconduct, or where liability cannot be excluded by law (such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence).
• We will not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business, or loss of opportunity arising from your use of the site.

This does not affect any rights you may have as a consumer that cannot be excluded by law.

Privacy

Our use of your personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be flagged on the site. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
