Legal
Terms and disclaimer
The important points about what this website is, and what it isn't.
Last updated: September 2026 (draft)
This website, upstreamacquisitions.com, is operated by Damian Adcock, trading as Upstream Marine Acquisitions. Upstream Marine Acquisitions is a trading name used by Damian Adcock; it is not a separate company. By using this site, you agree to these terms.
Not an offer
Nothing on this website is an offer to buy, or a commitment to buy, any business or asset. Any acquisition would happen only under a separate, signed written agreement, after due diligence, and on terms agreed at that time.
Not advice
The information on this site, including the guide and the letter, is general information only. It is not financial, legal, tax, accounting or investment advice. I am a buyer, not a broker or capital arranger, and I do not give advice to sellers. Please get independent professional advice before making decisions about your business.
Not an offer of securities
Nothing on this website is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security or investment. References to capital partners and deal structuring describe how acquisitions are funded; they are not an invitation to invest.
Intentions, not guarantees
This site describes how I intend to look after the businesses I buy, for example keeping teams together, keeping business names and respecting an owner's timing. These are sincere intentions and forward-looking statements, not guarantees. Actual outcomes depend on each business, the terms agreed in writing, and future circumstances.
Confidentiality
I treat conversations with business owners as private. A binding confidentiality obligation exists only under a signed confidentiality agreement (NDA). Please don't send detailed confidential documents through the website forms.
Accuracy and links
I try to keep this site accurate and up to date, but it is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. Links to other websites are provided for convenience; I am not responsible for their content.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Damian Adcock is not liable for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, this website.
Intellectual property
The content, name and compass mark on this site belong to Damian Adcock unless stated otherwise. Fonts are used under the SIL Open Font License.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of law rules. [attorney to confirm venue]
