8. REGISTRATION PROCESS, CONDITIONS AND FEES
8.1 Companies that desire to market and promote themselves and their products and/or services may choose to become a Registered Member. There are two types of Registered Members: Free Members and Premium Members. “Free Members” do not pay a fee to register and receive basic Member Benefits (as defined in Section 8.4 below). Paying members (known as “Premium Members”) pay a fee and receive basic and additional Member Benefits. The price of membership appears in the course of online registration of the Website, provided that B2Brazil may offer certain promotional discounts and benefits in its sole discretion. At any time, a Registered Member may elect to upgrade its account to one of the Premium Member Accounts. If a Registered Member selects and purchases Premium PLUS Membership, then the terms and conditions of any relevant agreement shall apply and be incorporated into, and be part of, this Agreement.
8.2 B2Brazil charges certain fees for online “add-ons” selected by its Registered Members, such as, by way of example, fees to purchase credits to access Leads Contacts and fees to become B2B Verified. The price of any such fees will appear in the course of promoting the relevant services and the final fee amounts shall be approved by the Registered Member at the time of payment. B2Brazil reserves the right to charge any service fees for other types of online transactions and services upon reasonable prior notification published on the Websites.
8.3 Registration and other fees are paid through a debit of a credit card (e.g., Visa, Master Card, etc.), through direct debit of a current account, through boleto bancário and through wire transfer (Swift). In each case, payments to B2Brazil are processed through a secured online facility provided on or through the Website.
8.4 B2Brazil provides Registered Members with various services, features and/or advantages, such as by way of example, developing and maintaining their Hotsite online area to promote themselves and their products and/or services, posting and accessing trade leads (with limits imposed depending on level of membership) and using online tools to facilitate commerce (collectively, 'Member Benefits'). Such Member Benefits (as applicable to each of Free Members and Premium Members) may be altered or terminated, and their pricing structure and payment conditions may be modified, at any time, without prior notice. Other functionalities or offers made available by B2Brazil on the Website, and their pricing structure and payment conditions, may also be changed or withdrawn by B2Brazil, from time to time, without prior notice. Any such alterations and/or additions are governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
8.5 Your registration shall become in effect at the date indicated on the receipt to be transmitted to you by B2Brazil confirming payment, subject to this section. As a pre-condition, Premium and Premium PLUS Members are required to undergo the B2B Verification process to verify the existence of the member-company and proper authorization for such membership. Such verification shall be decided in B2Brazil’s sole and reasonable discretion. You agree to provide documentation and identification reasonably requested by B2Brazil.Another pre-condition is that Premium and Premium PLUS Members are required to participate in an onboard session with our Customer Success team (preferably within 15 days) in order to optimize their seller profile and experience. Once the member has completed the onboarding session, the applicable benefits will be granted and the plan period will start.
8.6 B2Brazil does not refund membership fees and services fees except in cases involving fraudulent transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of verifying a member company requesting and paying for B2B Verified status, in the event B2Brazil is unable to verify the company according to its standard process applied to all verifications, then the member will not become B2B Verified and the member will not be refunded. B2Brazil will state to the member in writing the reasons for failing to receive B2B Verified status and the member may remedy such failure in order to become B2B Verified. B2Brazil spends time, resources and, in some cases, pays third parties to conduct and complete B2B Verification and you agree that B2Brazil’s retention of the fee is the compensation for this. Similarly, if your Premium or Premium PLUS Membership is denied due to the failure to receive B2B Verification, your payment will not be refunded.
8.7 You are fully responsible for maintaining your password and not to reveal or pass it on to any third party. If you are made aware of any unauthorized use of your password and/or log-in number or account, you shall immediately notify B2Brazil.
8.8 Your registration will be automatically renewed and the applicable period (e.g., monthly or annual) renewal fee debited from your account at the anniversary date of your registration or last renewal unless you notify us in writing that you wish to cancel your paid service. If your registration is not automatically renewed for any reason, then you will be given several notices prior to expiration advising you of the date of expiration and providing you with a simple means to renew. B2Brazil may erase all User Content you have posted on the Website that exceeds the benefits of Premium Membership if payment of the renewal fee is not validly made within thirty (30) days from the expiration of your membership.
8.9 As a Registered Member, you shall provide your email address to B2Brazil. However, your email address will not be published on the Website. Email messages to and from other Users shall transit through a form-generated email that will be accessed through the Account Management Area, and email messages to Premium Members will also be sent to their registered email address.
9. USERS TRADING AND BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
9.1 B2Brazil provides an online platform allowing for the exchange of key trade, business and service information between service and/or product suppliers/sellers and buyers. As such, B2Brazil only acts as a passive conduit for the exchange of User Content which further enables trade or business transactions between Users. B2Brazil is not involved in and does not monitor, control or otherwise endorse trade or business transactions between Users and shall not be held legally responsible, liable or accountable in any way whatsoever in relation thereto, namely but not restrictively, if the products/services are not available, not delivered on time, not of the quality represented, are defective, faulty, dangerous, counterfeit or otherwise not lawful or not satisfactory.
9.2 Users are hereby made aware that there may be risks of dealing with people acting under false pretenses. B2Brazil uses several techniques to verify the accuracy of certain information our paying Users provide us when they register for a paying membership service(s) (such as “B2B Verified” status). However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, B2Brazil cannot and does not confirm each User's purported identity (including, without limitation, “B2B Verified” Members). Although B2Brazil provides the 'B2B Verified' service to certain Users who pay for the verification and to Premium Members, whereby it verifies that the Registered Member’s company’s existence, such verification does not guarantee business credibility, lawful activity or honest transactions, and B2Brazil assumes no liability for the verification, the information presented and any transactions with such Members. It may be just one element in your overall due diligence. You are encouraged to use various means, as well as common sense, to evaluate with whom you are dealing, and are advised to review the 'B2B Safe Practices / Tips' and to conduct commercial reasonable due diligence in regards to each company that they may do business with.
9.3 Each User acknowledges that it is fully assuming the risks of conducting any purchase and sale transactions in connection with using the Websites, that it is solely and fully responsible with respect to all applicable terms and conditions pertaining to any trade or business transactions made in connection with using the Websites, and that it is fully assuming the risks of liability or harm of any kind in connection with subsequent activity of any kind relating to products or services that are the subject of transactions using the Websites. Such risks shall include, but are not limited to, mis-representation of products and services, fraudulent schemes, unsatisfactory quality, failure to meet specifications, defective or dangerous products, unlawful products, delay or default in delivery or payment, cost mis-calculations, breach of warranty, breach of contract and transportation accidents. Such risks also include the risks that the manufacture, importation, export, distribution, offer, display, purchase, sale and/or use of products or services offered or displayed on the Websites may violate or may be asserted to violate third party rights, and the risk that User may incur costs of defense or other costs in connection with third parties’ assertion of third party rights, or in connection with any claims by any party that they are entitled to defense or indemnification in relation to assertions of rights, demands or claims by third party rights claimants. Such risks also include the risks that consumers, other purchasers, end-users of products or others claiming to have suffered injuries or harms relating to products originally obtained by Users of the Websites as a result of purchase and sale transactions in connection with using the Websites may suffer harms and/or assert claims arising from their use of such products. All of the foregoing risks are hereafter referred to as 'Transaction Risks'. Each User agrees that B2Brazil shall not be liable or responsible for any damages, claims, liabilities, costs, harms, inconveniences, business disruptions or expenditures of any kind that may arise a result of or in connection with any Transaction Risks.
9.4 In the event of a dispute involving a User of this Agreement with respect to any trade or business transaction, such User hereby agrees to indemnify and hold B2Brazil harmless against any liability, loss, damage, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, (and any actual, special, incidental or consequential damages, as the case may be) arising out of or incurred in connection with any claim, request, action or proceeding made or brought against B2Brazil as a result of or in connection with such transaction and/or dispute.
9.5 B2Brazil’s Leads Central™ area allows buyers and sellers to post and respond to business leads (“Leads”). Certain Leads require a credit (a “Leads Credit”) in order to access the contact details of the poster of the lead or the sender of the lead. Depending on the type of membership, a Registered Member (even a free one) will be granted a certain number of free Leads Credits upon registration and every 12 months thereafter. The number of free Leads Credits granted to each type of Registered Member appears in the course of online registration of the Website, provided that B2Brazil may change or eliminate the number of free Leads Credits granted on each 12 month anniversary in its sole discretion. If you are a Registered Member, upon receiving a Lead, you will be able to see the date it was required and the requirement, and then you shall have the option of using one of your Leads Credits to access the contact information of the poster of the Lead. If you do not have any Leads Credits remaining, then you may purchase Leads Credits by upgrading your membership or by purchasing a Leads Credit or package of Leads Credits. You must review the requirement description carefully to determine the viability of the opportunity for your business before using a Lead Credit to access the contact details. B2Brazil is the intermediary between you and the Lead poster/sender, and therefore does not warrant or guarantee the viability of the Lead, although part of the reason why Registered Members receive a certain number of free Lead Credits is to offset any non-viable Leads. As stated in Section 8.6, B2Brazil does not refund services fees (including without limitation fees for Leads Credits) except in cases involving fraudulent transactions. As you use Leads Credits, they are deducted from your balance first from any Leads Credits purchased, then from your annual allotment depending on type of membership. Each anniversary of your membership, if your account balance of Lead Credits is less than the number of Leads Credits you are entitled to for your type of membership, then B2Brazil will increase your balance by granting a balance up to the number of Leads Credits that you are entitled to. If, at that time, your account balance of Leads Credits is greater than the number of Leads Credits you are entitled to for your type of membership, then your balance will continue unchanged and you will not receive any additional Leads Credits from B2Brazil for the coming 12 months period; provided, however, if you do not renew a Premium Membership and downgrade your membership to Free Membership, then your balance will be reduced by any unused Leads Credits that were part of your Premium Membership). If you renew your Premium Membership, then your balance will increase by the number of Leads credits that are part of the relevant Premium Membership benefits.
