These are the IDD Exit Report terms and conditions. They set out the rules for using iddexitreport.com, what you can and can’t do with our content, and the limits of what we’re responsible for. By using the site, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.
We’ve kept the language plain on purpose. If anything here is unclear, email us at info@iddexitreport.com and we’ll explain it.
Terms at a glance
- Our articles are general information for owners of IDD services businesses. They aren’t legal, tax, financial or investment advice.
- Reading the site or contacting us doesn’t make you anyone’s client. That only happens under a signed engagement agreement.
- IDD Exit Report is published in partnership with Olympic M&A, a healthcare M&A advisory firm.
- You’re welcome to quote short excerpts with credit and a link. Copying whole articles isn’t allowed.
- These terms are governed by Kentucky law.
IDD Exit Report is operated by Olympic M&A, (“we,” “us” or “our”). It’s an independent publication covering mergers, acquisitions, valuations and exit planning for providers serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), such as group homes, day programs, supported living and ICF/IID facilities.
IDD Exit Report is published in partnership with Olympic M&A, a healthcare M&A advisory firm. When a reader asks to discuss a sale or a valuation, Olympic M&A’s IDD team responds. We disclose this so you can weigh our content with that relationship in mind, in line with the FTC’s guidance on disclosing material connections.
Our editorial content is researched and sourced independently, and we link to the data behind our figures so you can check it yourself. Where we mention Olympic M&A, it’s because it’s the advisory team we work with, not because a third party paid for the mention.
You must be at least 18 years old to use IDD Exit Report. The site is written for business owners, executives, board members and professionals who work with them. By using it, you confirm that you’re 18 or older and that you’ll follow these terms.
No. Everything on IDD Exit Report is general information for educational purposes. It isn’t legal, tax, accounting, financial, investment or valuation advice, and it isn’t a recommendation to buy or sell any business. Your situation is specific, so talk to a qualified attorney, tax adviser and M&A advisor before acting.
This matters more in IDD than in most industries. Licensing, change-of-ownership approvals and Medicaid rates differ from state to state, and they change. A rule that applies in Ohio may not apply in Texas. Valuation ranges and deal figures we report describe the market in general, not what your business is worth.
No. Reading our articles, subscribing to the newsletter, or sending an enquiry doesn’t create an advisory, fiduciary, attorney-client or any other professional relationship with us or with Olympic M&A. An advisory relationship exists only when you and Olympic M&A sign a written engagement agreement.
Until then, please don’t rely on anything we say as advice about your own business, and don’t send us information you’d only share with a professional under a confidentiality agreement. For how we handle what you do send, see our Privacy Policy.
Nothing on the site is an offer to buy or sell any business, company, security or interest in one, or a solicitation of such an offer. Any transaction happens only under separate written agreements between the parties involved, with their own advisers. We don’t act as a broker-dealer, and we don’t handle funds or securities.
We work hard to get it right. Our figures come from named sources, such as government agencies, regulations and published industry research, and we link to them. But markets, rules and rates change, sources can contain errors, and an article reflects the facts as of its publication or “updated” date. We don’t promise that any content is complete, current or error-free.
If you spot a mistake, please tell us at info@iddexitreport.com. We correct errors and note significant corrections on the page.
If you subscribe to the IDD Exit Report newsletter, you agree to receive emails from us about IDD M&A, valuations and related topics. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing takes effect right away. How we handle your email address is covered in our Privacy Policy.
When you send an enquiry, we share it with Olympic M&A’s IDD team so they can respond, as we explain on every form and in our Privacy Policy. We treat enquiries as confidential and don’t share them with buyers or other providers. Formal confidentiality obligations, such as a non-disclosure agreement, apply only once they’re signed.
Please don’t include names, health information or other details about the people your organization supports. We don’t need it, and we’ll delete it if it arrives.
Yes, within limits. You’re welcome to quote short excerpts, cite our figures, and share links to our articles, as long as you credit IDD Exit Report and link to the original page. You may not copy, republish, sell or repackage whole articles or substantial parts of them without our written permission.
All content on the site, including articles, tables, graphics, the IDD Exit Report name and logo, and the site design, belongs to Olympic M&A or its licensors and is protected by copyright and trademark law. Nothing in these terms gives you ownership of any of it.
Don’t misuse the site, its content or its forms. That means no bulk copying or scraping, no attempts to break into or overload the site, no false information or spam through our forms, no harmful code, and nothing unlawful. Specifically, you agree not to:
We may suspend or block access for anyone who breaks these rules.
Our articles link to other sites, including sources, regulators, research firms and Olympic M&A. We include those links because they’re useful, but we don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content, accuracy or privacy practices. A link isn’t an endorsement of everything on the linked site.
The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability and non-infringement. We don’t guarantee that the site will always be available, uninterrupted or free of errors or harmful components.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we and our partners, including Olympic M&A, aren’t liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost business value or lost data, arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. Our total liability for any claim relating to the site is limited to $100.
Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain limits on liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t legally be limited.
If you break these terms or the law while using the site, and that leads to a claim against us, you agree to cover our reasonable costs, including legal fees, arising from that claim.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute relating to the site or these terms will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Jefferson County, Kentucky, and you agree to those courts’ jurisdiction.
We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we’ll change the “last updated” date at the top. If a change is significant, we’ll flag it on the site or to newsletter subscribers. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. If we don’t enforce a term right away, we haven’t waived it. These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about using the site. We may transfer our rights under these terms, for example if the site changes hands. You may not transfer yours without our consent.
If you believe content on IDD Exit Report infringes your copyright, email info@iddexitreport.com with a description of the work, where it appears on our site, your contact details, and a statement that you believe in good faith the use isn’t authorized. We’ll review it promptly and remove infringing material.
Can I rely on IDD Exit Report articles to value or sell my business?
Use them to understand the market and prepare better questions, not as the basis for a decision. Our articles are general information, not advice about your business. Valuations depend on your earnings, state, staffing and licenses, so get a specific valuation and legal advice from qualified professionals before you act.
Is IDD Exit Report owned by Olympic M&A?
IDD Exit Report is operated by Olympic M&A and published in partnership with Olympic M&A, a healthcare M&A advisory firm. Olympic M&A’s IDD team responds to readers who ask to discuss a sale or valuation. We disclose the relationship on every article and in these terms.
Can I share IDD Exit Report articles with my board or my advisers?
Yes. Share links freely, and quote short excerpts with credit to IDD Exit Report and a link to the original article. Circulating a link or a short quote internally is fine. Republishing whole articles, or large parts of them, on another site or in a paid product needs our written permission first.
Which law applies to these terms?
Kentucky law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute about the site or these terms goes to the state or federal courts in Jefferson County, Kentucky. Some consumer protection laws where you live may still apply, and nothing in these terms takes away rights you can’t legally give up.
Questions about these terms and conditions are welcome.
