Terms of Service

1. The agreement

These terms govern your use of the ValuCap platform supplied by ValuCap (the trading style of ValuCap Limited, a company registered in England and Wales). By submitting an engagement you accept these terms.

2. What we provide

For each engagement we deliver a written valuation report aligned with IVSC IVS 105 methodology, signed by Abi Shitta (Principal Consultant — Business Valuations; ACCA, FMVA, MBA) on behalf of ValuCap Corporate Finance. Where the engagement purpose requires it, the report includes an HMRC-aligned annex (EMI, CGT, or IHT).

3. Scope and limitations

• The report relies on information you supply. You warrant that the documents and answers you provide are complete, accurate, and not misleading.
• The report is prepared on the basis of public market data, the information you supply, and methodology aligned with IVSC and HMRC guidance. HMRC is not bound by the report; a Post-Transaction Valuation Check (PTVC) is available informally and may be appropriate for tax-context engagements.
• The report reflects our reasonable judgment on the valuation date specified within it. Valuations are inherently uncertain and may move materially as market conditions or company facts change.
• Reports are addressed to you for the stated purpose. We accept no liability to any other party that reads or relies on the report without our prior written consent.

4. Fees and payment

The fee for each engagement is the price displayed on the pricing page at the time you submitted your intake. Payment is due on delivery of the draft report unless we agree otherwise in writing. We may decline to release the final signed PDF until payment clears.

5. Intellectual property

You retain ownership of the documents and information you upload. You grant us a licence to use them solely to perform the engagement and to retain them in your audit trail. We retain ownership of the platform, the valuation engine, our prompts, and the structure of the report; you receive a perpetual licence to use the delivered report for the stated purpose.

6. Confidentiality

We treat your information as confidential, save where disclosure is required by law or regulator. Our staff and contractors are bound by equivalent obligations.

7. Liability

Our aggregate liability for any claim arising from an engagement is limited to three times the fee paid for that engagement, save for liability that cannot lawfully be limited (death, personal injury, fraud). We exclude liability for indirect or consequential losses, including loss of profits, anticipated savings, or business opportunity.

8. Cancellation

You may cancel an engagement before extraction completes for a full refund. After extraction has run we charge a 25% fee to cover compute costs. Once the draft report has been delivered no refund is available save for material defect on our part.

9. Professional alignment

We operate in alignment with the ICAEW TECH 03/19 guidance for professional accountants performing valuations, the IVSC IVS 105 methodology framework, and the HMRC Shares & Assets Valuation Manual.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
