Terms of Service
Last updated October 5, 2026
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are an agreement between you and Autavio, LLC (“we,” “us”), which operates CollisionList. By creating an account, joining the waitlist, or otherwise using the platform, you agree to them. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind it.
1. What CollisionList is, and is not
CollisionList is a marketplace where owners of collision repair businesses can list a business confidentially and be introduced to vetted buyers. We provide the platform, review listings and buyer applications, and host the tools you use to communicate.
Nothing on the platform is an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities. Listings describe operating businesses and their assets; they are prepared by sellers, not by us.
2. Accounts and eligibility
You must be at least 18 and able to enter into a binding contract. You agree to give accurate information, keep it current, and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account.
Accounts require our approval. We may decline, suspend, or close any account at our discretion, including where we believe information is false or a user is misusing the platform.
3. Sellers and listings
Listing is free. When you submit a business, you tell us about it in two layers: an anonymized public layer (market, revenue band, bay count, and similar ranges) and a confidential layer (business name, address, financial records, and your contact details) that is disclosed only as described in section 5.
- You confirm you own the business or are authorized to offer it for sale, and that the information you provide is accurate and not misleading.
- We review listings before they go live and may edit, decline, or remove any listing.
- You approve the anonymized listing before publication, and you may withdraw it at any time at no cost. Withdrawal does not by itself end a success fee obligation that has already attached under section 6.
- You decide which buyers get access. You may deny any request without giving a reason.
4. Buyers and access
Buyers apply, are reviewed by us, and hold a paid subscription before they can request access to confidential listing information. Approval reflects our own review criteria only. It is not a recommendation, a credit reference, or a representation about any buyer’s ability to close.
As a buyer, you are responsible for your own diligence. Information in a listing comes from the seller. We do not audit or verify financial statements and make no representation about their accuracy.
5. Confidentiality and NDAs
A seller’s identity and confidential details are disclosed only after a buyer signs our non-disclosure agreement electronically and the seller approves that specific request. The NDA is a separate agreement between the buyer and the seller; we facilitate it but are not a party to it.
Information you receive through the platform about another user or their business is confidential. You may use it only to evaluate and negotiate a possible transaction, and you may not disclose it, use it to solicit that business’s employees, insurers, or customers, or share it with anyone who has not signed the applicable NDA. These obligations survive termination of your account.
6. Success fees
Listing, withdrawing, and using the platform cost a seller nothing. A success fee is payable only on a closed transaction.
Rate
Our published self-service rate is 5% of the total transaction value up to $1,000,000, plus 2.5% of any amount above that. The rate that applies to your listing is confirmed with you in writing before your listing goes live, and that written agreement controls if it differs from the published rate.
When a fee is owed
A success fee is earned when a transaction closes with a counterparty who was introduced to you through CollisionList, whether or not the transaction is structured as the one originally discussed. It applies to an asset sale, a stock or membership interest sale, a merger, or another transfer of ownership, and it applies if the transaction closes within 24 months after the introduction, even if your listing has been withdrawn or your account closed.
Total transaction value
Total transaction value means all consideration paid or payable for the business, including cash at closing, assumed debt, seller financing, earn-outs and other contingent payments when they become payable, the value of any real estate included in the sale, and amounts paid under consulting or non-compete agreements with the seller entered into as part of the transaction.
The fee is invoiced at closing and is due within 30 days, except for contingent consideration, which is invoiced as it is received. Fees are exclusive of taxes.
7. Buyer subscriptions
Buyer access is sold as a recurring subscription billed through Stripe. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period until cancelled. You may cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current period.
Fees already paid are not refunded except where required by law. We may change subscription pricing on notice, effective at your next renewal. Losing access, whether by cancellation or suspension, does not release you from the confidentiality obligations in section 5 or a success fee obligation under section 6.
8. Advisory services
We may offer hands-on advisory support on request. Advisory engagements are separately scoped and separately priced, are documented in their own agreement, and are offered only where we are permitted to offer them. Nothing in these Terms obliges us to provide advisory services.
9. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- misrepresent your identity, your finances, or your intent to transact;
- request listing access to gather competitive intelligence rather than to evaluate an acquisition;
- contact a seller outside the platform to circumvent the NDA, the approval process, or a success fee;
- scrape, copy, or republish listings, or use them to build a competing product or a marketing list;
- upload malicious code, probe our systems, or attempt to access data you are not authorized to see.
10. Your content
You keep ownership of everything you upload. You grant us a non-exclusive licence to host, store, reproduce, and display it as needed to operate the platform and provide it to the people you have authorized to see it. That licence ends when you delete the content, except for copies retained in backups or as records we are required to keep.
11. Disclaimers
The platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that information supplied by another user is accurate or complete.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost business opportunity, or lost data, even if advised of the possibility.
Our total liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the platform will not exceed the greater of the amounts you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred US dollars. These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law.
13. Indemnification
You will indemnify and hold harmless Autavio, LLC, its officers, employees, and agents from claims, damages, and reasonable legal fees arising out of your use of the platform, your breach of these Terms or an NDA, information you supplied, or a dispute between you and another user.
14. Term and termination
You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access at any time, with notice where practical, including for breach of these Terms. Sections 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 15 survive termination.
15. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the platform will be heard exclusively in the state courts located in Gregg County, Texas or, where federal jurisdiction exists, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, and the parties submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
Before filing, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute by discussing it for at least 30 days after written notice.
16. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms. If a change is material we will give notice by email or in the platform before it takes effect. Continuing to use the platform after that date means you accept the updated Terms. The version in force when a success fee obligation attached continues to govern that obligation.
