Terms of Use

Updated November 6, 2026

These terms govern use of the Birch & Lake Partners LLC website and Deal Library. By using them, you agree to these terms.

Permitted Use

You may view the site and use its tools for lawful business and research purposes. You may download Deal Library data where the site offers a download. Do not misrepresent the source, interfere with site operation, or use the site in a way that violates another person’s rights. Any reuse of third-party material remains subject to its owner’s rights.

Content and Ownership

Unless otherwise identified, the site’s original text, design, and software belong to Birch & Lake Partners LLC or its licensors. Deal descriptions and other source material may belong to third parties. Names and marks of other organizations are their owners’ property. Access to the site does not transfer ownership of any content or mark.

Deal Library Information

Deal Library compiles information from public sources and applies classification and calculation rules. Figures, coverage, dates, labels, and comparability judgments may be incomplete, estimated, revised, or mistaken. You are responsible for checking primary sources and deciding whether a comparison fits your purpose. See the Disclaimer for important limits on the data and the License Price Builder.

No Advisory Relationship Through Site Use

Using this site, sending an inquiry, or using Deal Library does not create a client, fiduciary, or other advisory relationship with Birch & Lake Partners LLC. An engagement requires a separate written agreement.

Availability and Outside Links

We may change, suspend, or remove site content or features. Links to outside sites are provided for convenience; their content and practices are outside our control.

Limits

The site is provided as available, without a promise that it is uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for a particular decision. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Birch & Lake Partners LLC is not responsible for losses arising from reliance on site content or inability to use the site. Nothing in these terms excludes a right or responsibility that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

Changes and Contact
