I understand that PRB has a listing agreement or contract with the owner or their authorized agent, of the said business which provides for a fee for service payment. I understand that if I interfere in any way with the broker’s contract right to a fee from seller/lessor, I will be personally liable for the payment of that fee. I understand that should I become a manager or connected with any of the businesses listed or should I buy, lease, or rent the premises herein set forth, then fee will be due to PRB. I understand that a fee is due if negotiations have commenced or I have seen the business during the listing period even if the listing becomes inactive. It is agreed that if I make the purchase or lease through PRB office, I am not liable for the fee.  I also understand that PRB may send me new listings for me to review.

I AGREE TO KEEP ALL INFORMATION I RECEIVE ON ANY BUSINESS FROM PACIFIC RESTAURANT BROKERS IN COMPLETE CONFIDENCE, AND NOT RELEASE INFORMATION TO ANYONE OTHER THAN MY FINANCIAL AND LEGAL ADVISORS.
