Terms of Service

Effective Date: June 9, 2025

I. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the MINERALS4.CASH website (the "Site") and the services offered by our company, American Basin Research, LLC ("M4C," "we," "us," or "our"), you, the user ("User," "you," or "your"), acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our accompanying Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Site or our Services. Your affirmative act of using this Site constitutes your electronic signature and your consent to enter into agreements with us electronically.

II. Description of M4C Services

M4C provides a specialized online platform designed to offer Texas mineral rights owners a streamlined and efficient method to liquidate their mineral assets for a cash payment. Our mission is to provide a fast, easy, and fair way for these owners to convert their mineral rights into immediate liquidity through a technology-driven process. It is important to understand that M4C acts as a direct purchaser of these mineral rights. We are "Buyers, not Brokers." This means we are not acting as your agent, a real estate broker, a financial advisor, an investment advisor, or a legal counsel. The Services are limited to facilitating the potential purchase of your mineral rights by us.

III. Offers, Purchase and Sale Agreements, and Closing

All preliminary valuations, estimates of value, expressions of interest, or preliminary offers communicated to you by M4C (whether through the Site, email, or other means) prior to the issuance of a formal Purchase and Sale Agreement ("PSA") are non-binding, indicative, and subject to change. You acknowledge that M4C may utilize automated systems or artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze data you provide for preliminary valuation purposes. Such automated analysis is for internal efficiency and is not infallible; it may contain errors or inaccuracies. For this reason, among others, any preliminary valuation is non-binding. A formal, binding offer is only made through a written PSA issued by us and is subject to adjustments and final approval by M4C management. A legally binding obligation for M4C to purchase, and for you to sell, your mineral rights is created ONLY upon the full execution of a formal, written PSA by both you and an authorized representative of M4C. The PSA, once executed, will supersede all prior discussions and understandings. Submitting your information to us does not obligate M4C to make an offer, nor does it obligate you to accept any offer.

IV. User Eligibility and Obligations

V. User Conduct and Prohibited Activities

You agree to use the Site and Services only for lawful purposes. You agree not to, and will not assist or encourage others to, use the Site or Services for any illegal purpose, provide any false or fraudulent information, engage in any activity that could interfere with or disrupt the Site, attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, or reverse engineer our platform. Violation of these rules may result in immediate termination of your access and may subject you to civil or criminal liability.

VI. Intellectual Property Rights

The Site and Services, including all text, graphics, trademarks, logos, and software (collectively, "Our Content"), are owned by M4C or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, M4C grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site and Services solely for your personal, non-commercial use in connection with evaluating the potential sale of your Texas mineral rights to us. You retain ownership of the personal information and documentation ("Your Content") that you submit to M4C. However, by submitting Your Content, you grant M4C a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, and transmit Your Content solely for the purpose of providing the Services to you, including evaluating your mineral rights and completing any resultant transaction.

VII. Third-Party Services and Links

M4C utilizes various third-party services to operate its Site and Services, including but not limited to services for web hosting, financial transaction processing, electronic document notarization, and customer communications. Your use of these third-party services may be subject to their respective terms and policies. We encourage you to review the terms of these third parties. M4C is not responsible for the actions, omissions, or content of these third-party providers. The Site may also contain links to other websites not controlled by us; we are not responsible for the content or practices of these sites.

VIII. Process of Selling Mineral Rights

The Services are designed to facilitate a streamlined process for you to potentially sell your Texas mineral rights to M4C. The general process includes your inquiry, submission of documentation (such as recent revenue statements), our internal title verification, a potential offer extension via a formal PSA, and, if accepted, a closing process involving remote online notarization and secure disbursement of funds. You are responsible for providing accurate and complete documentation. Any timelines provided are good-faith estimates and not guaranteed.

IX. Disclaimers and No Warranties

THE SITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. M4C DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE OR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. M4C DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE AN OFFER FOR YOUR MINERAL RIGHTS. THE CONTENT AND INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE SITE DO NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL, FINANCIAL, OR INVESTMENT ADVICE.

X. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE TEXAS LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL M4C OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, OR EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES. THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE M4C PARTIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES IS LIMITED TO ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00). LIABILITIES ARISING FROM A FULLY EXECUTED PSA WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE TERMS OF THAT SPECIFIC AGREEMENT.

XI. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless M4C and its affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the Site or Services, your submission of content, your violation of these Terms, or your misrepresentation of ownership or the status of your mineral rights.

XII. Termination

M4C reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend or terminate your access to the Site or Services at any time and for any reason without prior notice or liability. Upon termination, all licenses and rights granted to you in these Terms will immediately cease. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including, without limitation, intellectual property provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

XIII. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding not subject to arbitration shall be instituted exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Texas.

XIV. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration

  1. Binding Arbitration: If negotiation fails, any dispute arising from these Terms shall be resolved finally and exclusively by binding arbitration administered by a neutral arbitration service in Texas, in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding. THIS MEANS YOU AND M4C ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
  2. Class Action Waiver: All claims must be brought in an individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding.

XV. Electronic Communications, Records, and Signatures

You consent to receive communications from M4C electronically and agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Site and Services will involve electronic records and electronic signatures, and you agree that your electronic signature is the legal equivalent of your manual signature.

XVI. Modifications to Terms

M4C reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make changes, we will post the revised Terms on the Site and update the "Effective Date." Your continued use of the Site after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

XVII. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any fully executed PSA, constitute the entire agreement between you and M4C regarding your use of the Site. If any provision is held to be invalid, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our consent. We may assign our rights at any time. M4C shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control.
