Terms of Use

Effective November 15, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of fairbeez.com and related services ("Fairbeez," "we," "us"). By using Fairbeez, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

1. What Fairbeez is

Fairbeez is an informational marketplace that shows small businesses in the Dallas–Fort Worth area together with automated value estimates. Most businesses shown are not for sale; a business is shown as for sale only when its owner or broker lists it on Fairbeez. Fairbeez is not a business broker, lender, appraiser, investment adviser or party to any transaction.

2. Estimates are informational opinions

Fairbeez Estimates, price checks, financing calculators and reports ("Estimates") are automated, informational opinions generated from limited data, including public records, industry averages and figures stated by owners or sellers. They may be inaccurate, sometimes significantly. Estimates for off-market businesses are modeled, not reported by those businesses, and are not statements of fact about any business's actual finances, health or performance. A business shown on Fairbeez is not for sale unless its owner says so. See How estimates work.

3. No appraisal or professional advice

Estimates are not appraisals, valuations under any professional standard, or investment, tax, legal, accounting or lending advice, and they are not loan offers, approvals or commitments. You are responsible for your own decisions. Before buying or selling a business, do your own due diligence and consult a qualified appraiser, accountant, attorney and lender.

4. No lender or broker relationship unless you ask

Using Fairbeez does not create any relationship between you and a lender, broker or other partner. We share your information with lenders, brokers or other partners only when you ask us to by submitting a request and checking the consent box on that form. Partners make their own decisions and are solely responsible for their services. Fairbeez may be paid by partners for introductions you request.

5. Your conduct

You agree not to:

• use Fairbeez for any unlawful purpose, or to harass, defame or contact a business owner in a way that violates law or their stated wishes;
• misrepresent that a business is for sale, or that an Estimate is an appraisal or a statement of a business's actual finances;
• submit false information, or claim a business you don't own or aren't authorized to represent;
• scrape, crawl, copy or resell site content or Estimates in bulk, or interfere with the site's operation or security;
• reverse-engineer, or attempt to access non-public areas or systems.

We may suspend or restrict access for anyone who violates these Terms.

6. Business owners: claim, correct or remove

If you own or are authorized to represent a business shown on Fairbeez, you may ask us to correct its information or remove it using the owner request form or by emailing fairbeez.team@fairbeez.com. We'll take reasonable steps to verify that you're authorized before making changes. We aim to act on verified removal requests promptly, generally within 10 business days, and to keep a removed business from reappearing from later data updates.

7. Intellectual property

The Fairbeez name, logo, site design, software, Estimate methodology and original content are owned by Fairbeez or its licensors and protected by law. You may view and share individual pages for personal, non-commercial use. Any other use requires our written permission. Listing content belongs to the broker or owner who listed it. Fairbeez shows a business as for sale only when its broker or owner lists it on Fairbeez and confirms they're the listing broker, have the seller's permission, or own the business; we don't copy listings from other websites. A broker or owner who lists a business gives Fairbeez permission to show that listing, including its text and photos, on Fairbeez for as long as it's listed. If you believe content on Fairbeez infringes your rights, contact us.

8. Third-party content and links

Fairbeez displays information from third parties, including government records and map services such as Google Maps. We don't control and aren't responsible for third-party content, services or sites, and their own terms apply.

Payments, subscriptions and refunds

Paid products are sold by Fairbeez LLC, a Texas limited liability company. Payments are processed by Stripe; Fairbeez does not see or store your full card number. Prices are shown in U.S. dollars before any sales tax, which is added at checkout where it applies.

• Founding members get Buyer Membership free until 6 months after the first listing goes live on Fairbeez (the exact date is shown on the Pricing page once that happens; we may announce a later date, never an earlier one), limited to the number of founding spots shown. After that, a founding member can renew at the founding price ($99 a year) for life, even after a gap; we don't raise a founding member's renewal price. The free period isn't a subscription and nothing is charged unless you choose to renew. Founding owner listings (the first listings shown on the Pricing page) are free for 6 months, then $199 to renew.
• Buyer Membership ($99, or the regular price shown on the Pricing page once it applies) is a one-time payment for 12 months of access. It does not renew automatically; we email you before it ends. You can get a full refund within 7 days of paying if you haven't opened a full deal & SBA report or contacted a broker or owner (including meeting and financials requests) since paying. After that it isn't refundable. Membership doesn't guarantee that a broker or owner will reply or share information.
• Owner listings ($199) are a one-time payment for 6 months on Fairbeez, including the valuation report for your business. They don't renew automatically. They're refundable in full until the listing goes live; once it's live, they aren't refundable. Fairbeez may unpublish a listing that breaks these Terms (for example contact details in the description, or a business you aren't authorized to sell) without a refund for the remaining time.
• Subscriptions renew automatically (Broker Pro and Broker Team monthly) until you cancel. Cancel anytime in your account under My Fairbeez > Account > Manage billing, which opens Stripe's secure billing page. Cancelling stops the next renewal; your plan stays active through the period you've already paid for, and partial periods are not refunded. A free trial converts to a paid plan at the price shown at signup unless you cancel before the trial ends.
• Featured listings run for 30 days from payment and are not refundable once the placement has started.
• Services delivered by a person (Price-Check memos, calls, Seller Readiness, owner letters) are refundable in full if we haven't started the work. Once delivered, they are not refundable unless we made an error we can't correct.
• The Full Fairbeez Report is not for sale during the founding period. Free accounts see a preview. The full report can be earned with report credits: a verified owner claim earns the report for that owner's own business plus credits for other businesses (once per business), a verified sale price and an accepted set of photos also earn credits. Credits belong to the account that earned them, can't be transferred or exchanged for cash, and may be removed if a claim, sale price or photo turns out to be false. The price shown for after the founding period is the price we plan to charge then; we'll show the price before any purchase. Reports are screening analyses, not appraisals or lending decisions.
• We may change prices for future purchases and renewals; we'll tell subscribers by email at least 14 days before a renewal at a new price.

Sharing a sale price

When you share a sale price ("Share a real sale price"), you confirm that you're allowed to share it (for example, you were the buyer, seller, broker or lender, and no confidentiality agreement stops you) and that it's accurate to the best of your knowledge. You give Fairbeez permission to use it to improve estimates. Fairbeez never shows an individual sale price publicly: verified prices are used only in aggregate, such as medians and totals across five or more sales, and never with the business's name. We check prices against public SBA loan records or review them by hand, and may decline any price. We don't accept prices for businesses we're required to keep confidential. Any proof you upload is kept private and seen only by Fairbeez staff.

Community photos

You must be signed in and 18 or older to add photos. You may add only outside photos of a business, taken yourself with your phone's camera, the same day, from a public place such as the sidewalk. Don't go inside, block entrances, or disturb the owner, staff or customers, don't photograph people up close, and don't include close-up faces or readable license plates. If anyone asks you to stop, stop and leave.

Fairbeez's discretion. Fairbeez decides, at its sole discretion, whether to accept, reject, show, hide or remove any photo, and whether to grant, hold or take back any report credit, with or without giving a reason. Automatic checks are a guide, not a promise: passing them doesn't guarantee a photo is accepted or shown, or that a credit is granted. Fairbeez may change or end the photo program and its credit rules at any time.

License. You keep the copyright in your photos. By sending them you give Fairbeez a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display them on Fairbeez (the website, its app and its business pages), with the credit you choose ("Photo by" your display name, or "Community photo"). Fairbeez may resize them and may remove them at any time.

Report credits. An accepted photo set may earn one Full Fairbeez Report credit, linked to your account, with no cash value. If another person's photos of the same business are accepted while you're taking yours, Fairbeez may still grant your credit without showing your photos. For 72 hours it can be taken back if the business's verified owner removes the photos, two other people report them, or Fairbeez removes them; if you already used it, your account can't earn more photo credits. Limits apply (for example, 5 credit-earning sets per day and one per business). Photos taken somewhere else, copied, edited to mislead, or of people or the inside of a business aren't allowed and can lead to removal of your photos and credits.

Display names. Choose a nickname or your first name and last initial. Names that use a business or brand name, "Fairbeez", "official", "admin", contact details, links or offensive words aren't allowed. You can switch to anonymous at any time. Brokers who add photos confirm they represent the business or have the owner's permission.

Copyright complaints (DMCA)

Fairbeez respects copyright. If you believe something on Fairbeez, such as a photo, copies your work without permission, send a notice to our designated agent with: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) the work you believe was copied; (3) where it appears on Fairbeez (the page link); (4) your name, address, phone number and email; (5) a statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorized by you, your agent or the law; and (6) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you're the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Designated agent: Copyright Agent, Fairbeez LLC, 5900 Balcones Drive, Ste 100, Austin, TX 78731, fairbeez.team@fairbeez.com.

If we remove something because of a notice, we'll tell the person who posted it. They can send a counter-notice if they believe it was removed by mistake. Accounts that repeatedly post others' work without permission will be closed.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FAIRBEEZ AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES AND PARTNERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON FAIRBEEZ OR ANY ESTIMATE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR $100.
