Business-use agreement
Agreement and eligibility
These Terms of Service form a binding agreement between ImportersDeals Corp. ("ImporterDeals," "we," "us," or "our") and the person and organization using the platform.
By creating an account, accepting a deal term, or otherwise using the platform, you accept these terms for yourself and the organization you represent. If you lack authority to bind that organization, you may not use the platform on its behalf.
- You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter contracts.
- You must use the platform for legitimate business activity, not personal or household purchasing.
- You must comply with these terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, and deal-specific terms shown before commitment.
What the platform does
ImporterDeals provides software for publishing MOQ-based opportunities, pooling importer demand, recording commitments, and coordinating transaction status. Suppliers define their offers; importers decide whether to participate.
Our role is limited
We may review, moderate, verify, rank, suspend, or remove activity to protect the platform. Those actions do not constitute an endorsement, guarantee, inspection, or assumption of a participant's obligations.
Accounts and organizations
You must provide accurate account and organization information, keep it current, protect authentication methods, and notify us promptly of suspected unauthorized access. Your organization is responsible for activity performed through accounts it authorizes.
Workspace owners and administrators control membership and capabilities. We may request business records, beneficial ownership information, product documentation, or other evidence reasonably needed for verification, fraud prevention, sanctions screening, or platform safety.
Verification indicates only that specified checks were completed at a point in time. It is not a warranty of solvency, product quality, regulatory status, or future performance.
Deals, MOQ, and commitments
Each deal may state a product specification, supplier, MOQ target, pricing or tiers, currency, closing time, allocation method, cancellation rules, and other commercial conditions. Those deal-specific terms supplement these terms and control for that deal if there is a direct conflict.
- A displayed MOQ progress value is operational information and may change after validation, cancellation, payment failure, or moderation.
- A commitment may become binding when the interface identifies it as binding and you confirm it.
- Reaching an MOQ does not guarantee manufacturing, payment completion, regulatory clearance, delivery, or acceptance of goods.
- If a deal does not reach its required threshold by the stated deadline, the deal-specific cancellation or refund rule applies.
Suppliers are responsible for offer accuracy, available capacity, specifications, lead times, title, authenticity, and conformity. Importers are responsible for assessing suitability and completing their own commercial due diligence.
Payment authorizations and refunds
A deal may use a card authorization, prepayment, deposit, reserve, bank transfer, or another payment method disclosed before commitment. You authorize the displayed amount and timing when you submit the relevant payment instruction.
Payments may be processed or held by independent regulated providers under their own terms. ImporterDeals does not describe funds as escrow unless the applicable flow expressly identifies a qualified escrow arrangement and its provider.
Refund eligibility, timing, fees, foreign-exchange effects, and failed-payment consequences are governed by the deal and payment terms shown for the transaction. Bank, network, intermediary, and currency-conversion charges may be outside our control.
Trade and product responsibilities
Participants remain responsible for their own purchase and sale contracts, taxes, product classification, labeling, certifications, intellectual-property clearance, licenses, permits, end-use checks, recordkeeping, and other legal duties.
Importers must determine whether goods may lawfully enter and be sold in the destination market. Suppliers must have the right to offer the goods and must provide accurate commercial and compliance documentation required by the applicable deal.
Customs, shipping, and service agents
Participants arrange logistics
The platform may display independent carriers, warehouses, shipping companies, or other service agents. A participant contracts directly with the selected provider. Listing, messaging, or status tools do not make ImporterDeals a party to that service contract or responsible for loss, delay, storage, damage, or customs outcomes.
Sanctions, export controls, and prohibited trade
You may not use ImporterDeals in connection with a sanctioned person, prohibited destination, restricted end use, unlawful export, reexport, import, boycott, money laundering, bribery, or evasion scheme.
You are responsible for determining which United States and non-U.S. trade restrictions apply to you, your counterparties, goods, technology, destination, financing, and end use. We may block or report activity and request supporting records when risk indicators arise.
The Acceptable Use Policy identifies additional prohibited goods and conduct and is incorporated into these terms.
Content and intellectual property
You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, format, translate, display, transmit, and otherwise use that content only as reasonably needed to operate, secure, improve, and promote the platform and the relevant marketplace activity.
You represent that you have the necessary rights to submit the content and that it is accurate and lawful. Do not upload another party's confidential information, personal data, trademark, image, specification, or copyrighted material without authorization.
The platform software, design, branding, documentation, and non-user content belong to us or our licensors. Except for the limited right to use the service, no intellectual-property rights are transferred to you.
Moderation, suspension, and termination
We may investigate activity and restrict content, commitments, payments, messaging, organizations, or accounts when reasonably necessary to address legal requests, security threats, fraud, nonpayment, sanctions risk, policy violations, or harm to participants or the platform.
You may stop using the platform, but termination does not cancel accrued payment duties, binding commitments, dispute rights, or provisions that by their nature should survive. We may retain records as described in the Privacy Notice.
Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR TRADE USAGE.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, successful MOQ completion, counterparty performance, product quality, payment availability, regulatory approval, shipping time, or any commercial outcome. No information on the platform is legal, tax, customs, financial, insurance, or other professional advice.
Liability and indemnity
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither ImporterDeals nor its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, or providers will be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, business opportunity, or substitute procurement.
Our aggregate liability arising from the platform will not exceed the greater of the platform fees you paid us during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim or USD 100. This limit does not apply where liability cannot legally be limited.
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ImporterDeals and its personnel from third-party claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your goods, content, contracts, legal violations, misuse of the platform, or breach of these terms, except to the extent caused by our own unlawful conduct.
Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not govern these platform terms.
Before filing a claim, each party will make a good-faith effort for 30 days to resolve the dispute after written notice. Subject to any non-waivable law, state and federal courts located in Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these terms or the platform.
Deal counterparties may choose different law or dispute terms for their separate sale contract. Those choices do not change the law governing your relationship with ImporterDeals.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms to reflect product, legal, security, or operational changes. We will post the new version and effective date and, when required, provide additional notice. Material changes apply prospectively unless law requires otherwise.
Translations are provided for convenience. Unless applicable law prohibits it, the English version controls if translated versions conflict.
