8. Marketplace disclaimer
fl1p is not a party to any transaction between Users.
The Marketplace is a venue where Users can discover, discuss, and negotiate the sale, acquisition, or collaboration on online businesses and digital assets. fl1p does not:
- Participate in, guarantee, insure, or facilitate the completion of any transaction.
- Verify the accuracy of Listings, financial data, traffic claims, or other representations made by Users — except where explicitly stated through features like TrustMRR (see Section 8.2).
- Provide escrow, payment processing, or funds transfer services for Marketplace transactions.
- Offer legal, financial, tax, accounting, or investment advice.

8.1 User responsibility
All negotiations, due diligence, contracting, payment, and post-sale obligations are the sole responsibility of the participating Users. You acknowledge that:
- You must conduct your own independent due diligence before entering any transaction.
- fl1p does not guarantee the identity, creditworthiness, or legitimacy of any User or Listing.
- Any financial loss, contractual dispute, or legal claim arising from a Marketplace transaction is between the transacting parties and does not involve fl1p.
- You should engage qualified legal and financial professionals before completing any business acquisition.
8.2 TrustMRR and verified metrics
TrustMRR displays revenue data pulled directly from a User’s connected payment processor (e.g., Stripe). While this data originates from a third-party source, fl1p does not independently audit, validate, or guarantee its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. TrustMRR data is provided for informational purposes only and should not be the sole basis for any business decision.

By purchasing any Paid Service, you agree to Creem’s Buyer Terms of Service in addition to these Terms. Creem handles payment collection, sales tax, VAT, and other applicable indirect taxes.
9.2 Subscriptions
Paid Services may be offered on a recurring subscription basis. Unless stated otherwise:
- Subscriptions renew automatically at the start of each billing period.
- You may cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — no partial-period refunds unless otherwise specified.
