4. TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN BUYERS AND SUPPLIERS

4.1 Through the Sites, Izipart provides an electronic web-based platform for exchanging information and concluding sale and purchase transactions of products and services online between buyers and suppliers. Izipart reserves the right to limit certain features and functions of the platform to prescribed Members. Despite the provision of the platform through the Site, Izipart does not represent the seller or the buyer in specific transactions whether or not such transactions are made on or via the Site. Izipart does not control and is not liable to or responsible for the quality, safety, lawfulness or availability of the products or services offered for sale on the Site or the ability of the suppliers to complete a sale or the ability of buyers to complete a purchase.

4.2 Members are hereby made aware that there may be risks of dealing with people acting under false pretenses. Izipart uses several techniques to verify the accuracy of the information our users provide us when they register on the Site. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, Izipart cannot and does not confirm each free member’s purported identity shown on the Site. We encourage you to use the various tools available on the Site, as well as common sense, to evaluate with whom you are dealing.

4.3 Each Member acknowledges that it is fully assuming the risks of purchase and sale transactions when using the Site to conduct transactions. Such risks shall include, but are not limited to, misrepresentation of products and services, fraudulent schemes, unsatisfactory quality, failure to meet specifications, defective products, delay or default in delivery or payment, cost miscalculations, breach of warranty, breach of contract and transportation accidents (“Transaction Risks”). Each Member agrees that Izipart shall not be liable or responsible for any damages, liabilities, costs, harms, inconveniences, business disruptions or expenditures of any kind that may arise as a result of or in connection with any Transaction Risks.

4.4 Members are solely responsible for all of the terms and conditions of the transactions conducted on, through or as a result of use of the Site, including, without limitation, terms regarding payment, returns, warranties, shipping, insurance, fees, taxes, title, licenses, fines, permits, handling, transportation and storage.

4.5 Member agrees to provide all information and materials as may be reasonably required by Izipart in connection with its transactions made via the transactional platform on the Site.

5.2 Each Member acknowledges that all data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages or other materials (“content”), whether publicly posted or privately transmitted through a discussion board on the Site, are the sole responsibility of such Member from whom the content originated. This means that the posting Member, and not Izipart, is entirely responsible for all content that is uploaded or posted via our discussion boards or other form of communication on the Site. Izipart does not control the content posted via discussion boards or other form of communication on the Site and therefore does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such content.

Izipart may monitor posting activities of any Member who is in breach of this Agreement and may restrict their ability to post messages on the discussion boards on the Site. Under no circumstances will Izipart be liable in any way for any content, including (without limitation) any errors or omissions in any content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of the discussion boards by such Member. Each Member agrees to evaluate and bear all risks associated with the use of any content including any reliance on its accuracy or completeness. Each Member understands that by using the Izipart discussion boards/forum or exchanging any form of communication on the Site, such Member may be exposed to content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable.

5.4 Without prejudice to each Member’s responsibilities under Clause 3 of this Agreement, each Member agrees not to use the discussion boards on the Site to:

5.6 Each Member grants to Izipart a perpetual, world-wide, royalty-free irrevocable, non-exclusive license (including the right to sub-license through multiple tiers) to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display any content (in whole or part) such Member uploaded, posted or supplied to Izipart for posting on the Sites and/or to incorporate such content in other works in any form, media or technology now known or developed.

5.7 Each Member shall indemnify and hold Izipart and its subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, officers, agents or partners harmless from and against any direct or indirect loss or damage (including consequential loss and loss of profits, goodwill or business opportunities) arising from any third party claim in relation to any content such Member uploaded, posted or e-mailed on or through the discussion boards or other exchange or communication on the Site, such Member’s use of the discussion boards or exchange or communication on the Site, or such Member’s breach of the provisions set out in Clause 5.4.

5.8 On being made aware of any such breaches, Izipart may ban, delete or prohibit any content that relates to those breaches or that Izipart in its sole discretion consider to be harmful to the public or the rights of Izipart or any of its affiliates, licensors, partners or Members.

5.9 Izipart reserves the right to take whatever action it deems necessary to prevent a Member’s breach of Clause 5.4 including the following:

1. a) issue a warning letter to the relevant Member (where the breaches are deemed by Izipart to be minor); or

All incidents will be logged and Izipart’s decision shall be final in all such cases.

5.10 All information and/or other content posted on the Site by the Izipart service team or by Members or third party partners is supplied for information purposes only and shall not under any circumstances be construed as legal and/or business advice or a legal opinion.
