1. Any information provided by Barker Business Brokerage (The Agent) is on a confidential basis and we agree not to disclose it to any other parties.

3. We agree that Barker Business Brokerage has introduced us to the nominated businesses and we agree that we will not affect in any way the payment of commission to the Agent. We agree that any further businesses requested are subject to these conditions.
4. In the event we buy a business which the Agent has introduced (via this website or through other means) we undertake to make all deposit funds payable to the appropriate Barker Business Brokerage nominated Trust Account.
5. Should we request the agent to provide or research details on any other business for which an agency agreement has not yet been signed then we will ensure that the purchase price includes the agents commission at a figure agreed between the agent and the vendor, otherwise we will not proceed with the purchase.
6. In the event that we approach and purchase a business introduced to us through this website, without using the Agent, we hereby agree to pay the Agent the commission otherwise due to it by the Vendor. NB. All businesses viewed on this site are able to be matched to registered purchasers/vendors.
