This Terms of Service agreement (the “ToS”) describes the terms and conditions applicable to your access and use of Brandboom.com and any tools, platforms, and applications offered therefrom (collectively, the” Site”) and the services offered through the Site (the “Services”). The ToS constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Brandboom and your use of the Site and/or the Services signifies that you agree to all of the terms and conditions set forth below.

If you are using the Site and/or the Services on behalf of a business entity, such as your employer, principal or client, you acknowledge and agree that you have the authority to bind such entity to the ToS.

THE TOS ARE INTENDED FOR ALL USERS OF THE SITE AND SERVICES, INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE SIMPLY NAVIGATING THE SITE OR THOSE WHO REGISTER AN ACCOUNT.

HOWEVER, DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE TOS AFFECT USERS DIFFERENTLY, SO PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY.

Amendments to the ToS: Brandboom may amend this ToS at any time by posting the amended ToS on the Site, and you agree that you will be bound by any changes to this ToS by accessing or using the Site or any of the Services after the amended ToS has been posted.

Overview of the Brandboom Services:

Brandboom provides an online information and sales platform whereby sellers of products (“Sellers”) can manage their own product offers and customer relationships and connect with, provide various information and materials about product offerings, and sell those products to buyers (“Buyers”). While Brandboom provides these and other services to Sellers and Buyers and may facilitate transactions between them, please note: Brandboom is not directly involved in or otherwise a party to any transactions that may take place between Sellers and Buyers. Brandboom has no control over the quality, safety, or legality of any aspect of Sellers’ offerings or any claims made by Sellers about the products they offer, the truth or accuracy of warranties or pricing supplied by Sellers (via customized presentation, promotional materials or otherwise), or the ability of Buyers to pay for or meet other obligations to Sellers.

Brandboom does not conduct background checks regarding any users of the Site or Services. Brandboom is not a broker, agent or insurer for any Sellers or Buyers. We encourage you to communicate directly with potential transaction partners through the tools available through the Site and Services. All transactions entered into between Sellers and Buyers are made at each party’s own risk.

1. Requirements

As a condition of your use of certain aspects of the Services, you must:

(a) agree to this ToS and the Privacy Policy (accessible via this link: www.brandboom.com/privacy), and

(b) register for an Account (defined below).

You are solely responsible for any internet connection fees that you incur when accessing the Services.

2. Accounts, Fees, and Security

2.1 Accounts.

There are two types of accounts available through the Services (each, an “Account”):

(a) “Buyer Accounts” which provides a user with buyer-only access to certain aspects of the Site and the Services free of charge; and

(b) “Seller Accounts” which permit access to seller-only features of the Services, such as the ability to upload Content (defined below) to the Services.

You must complete the Account registration process by providing current, complete and accurate information. If your contact and/or payment account information changes, you agree to promptly update the Account information to reflect those changes. Upon subscription to either Account, a User Account must be established to access these Accounts.

2.2 User Accounts.

“User Accounts” allow a user to access an established Seller Account and/or Buyer Account by providing certain requested information.

A Buyer Account can be created by providing an e-mail address and such users will be prompted to create a password for account protection.

While users who do not create a password for the account will be permitted to continue, such users are assuming the risk of unauthorized users accessing the account via that e-mail address. The registration of a Seller Account requires additional user information.

You may create only one (1) User Account. By establishing a User Account, you agree that only one user is permitted access to each User Account and the User Account may not be shared or accessed by others except for internal technical support purposes. Each User Account is permitted access to only a Buyer Account or Seller Account. User Accounts established for access to Buyer Accounts are free of charge and have access to all buyer-related Services.

User Accounts established for access to Seller Accounts fall under two categories: (a) “Free Users”, which allows limited access to certain aspects of seller-related Services free of charge; and (b) “Paid Users” which allows full access to all seller-related Services. A Free User may be converted to a Paid User at any time with the purchase of a Paid User subscription. A Paid User cannot be converted to a Free User. User Accounts may be added to a Seller Account at any time after you create your Seller Account.

2.3 Term.

There is no defined term for Buyer Account subscriptions or Seller Account subscriptions with only Free Users.
The term for a subscription to a Seller Account with one or more Paid Users (Paid Seller Account) may either be one (1) month or twelve (12) months as specified. This term begins when the first payment is made. All accounts are subject to termination or cancellation as set forth below.

2.4 Fees.

The initial subscription fee for each Paid Seller Account is based on the term of the subscription and the number of Paid Users you initially designate that will have access to the Seller Account. Additional subscriptions fees for Paid Users that you subsequently add will be prorated for the remainder of the subscription term in effect. When you submit an order for a subscription with Paid Users, you agree to pay all fees set forth in the subscription page and all applicable taxes. Each Seller Account is fully response for all charges incurred by any Paid Users associated with such account. All payments must be made in US Dollars. If you choose to be invoiced, payments are due thirty (30) days after the invoice date. If you choose to pay by credit card or debit card, the fees shall be charged to the account you provide us through the billing page. You agree that you will pay for all transactions you conduct through the Site or Services and that Brandboom may charge your credit card or payment account as provided by you when
registering for an account, including any taxes and late fees, as applicable, that may be accrued by or in connection with your account. You are responsible for the timely payment of all fees and for providing Brandboom with a valid credit card or payment account for payment of all fees at all times.

ALL PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, SUBJECT TO APPLICATION LAW.

2.6 Delinquent Payments.

Delinquent payments may accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month (or the maximum rate permitted by law, if less) from the date such payment was due until the date paid. Paid Account holders will be responsible for any costs incurred by Brandboom in collecting delinquent amounts. Brandboom may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, accelerate the payment obligations of a delinquent Paid Account so that such amounts are immediately due and payable, and suspend access to the Seller Account until such amounts are paid in full. Any account that has been suspended for a period longer than 30 days are subject to Account Termination as defined in section 2.8.

2.7 Account Security.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all of your Account usernames and passwords. You agree to notify Brandboom immediately if you believe that an Account has been compromised.

2.8 Cancellation by You.

You may cancel any Account registered to you at any time by following the instructions on the Site.

2.9 Effect of Account Termination or Cancellation.

If you voluntarily terminate an Account or allow that Account to lapse at the end of its term, you may reactivate that Account at any time through the account interface on the Site. Accounts terminated by Brandboom for any type of abuse, including without limitation a violation of this ToS, may not be reactivated. In the event that you cancel a Seller Account:

(a) you are responsible for the balance of all unpaid fees under that Seller Account, which shall become immediately due and payable on the date of cancellation; and

(b) Brandboom has no obligation to maintain the Content (defined in Section 4.1) you have uploaded to and created on the Services. All User Accounts associated with the terminated or canceled Account also terminate.
