It is the responsibility of the User ‘Buyer’ and ‘Seller’ to agree on the terms on which the Goods and/or Services are to be provided and a Contract is formed directly between them in the normal way and in accordance with UK law.
You expressly acknowledge, agree, and understand that: (1) the Site is merely a venue where Users may act as Buyers and/or Suppliers; (2) Supply My Business is not a party to any Service Contracts between Users (3) Supply My Business will not have any liability or obligations under or related to Service Contracts or any acts or omissions by you or other Users; (4) Supply My Business has no control over Users or the User Services offered or rendered by Users; and (5) Supply My Business makes no representations as to the reliability, capability, or qualifications of any User or the quality, security, or legality of any User Services, and Supply My Business disclaims any and all liability relating thereto.

This Agreement will become effective upon your first visit to the Site and will remain in effect for the duration of your use of the Site. Either party – the User or Supply My Business - may terminate this Agreement at our sole discretion, at any time, without explanation, upon written notice to the other.
In the event you properly terminate this Agreement, your right to use the Site is automatically revoked, and your Account will be closed; however, you will continue to be obligated to pay any amounts due to Supply My Business within the terms of this agreement. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement, the termination of this Agreement for any reason will not release you or Supply My Business from any obligations incurred prior to termination of this Agreement or that thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to such termination. Those portions of the User Agreement necessary to implement the foregoing survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.
Without limiting other remedies of Supply My Business, we may temporarily suspend, indefinitely suspend, or permanently revoke your access to the Site and refuse to provide any or all Site Services to you if: (a) you breach the letter or spirit of any terms and conditions of this Agreement or other parts of the Terms of Service; (b) we suspect or become aware that you have provided false or misleading information to us; or (c) we believe, in our sole discretion, that your actions may cause legal liability for you, our Users, or Supply My Business or our Affiliates; may be contrary to the interests of the Site or the User community; or may involve illicit activity.

When your Account is closed for any reason, you will no longer have access to data, messages, files, and other material you keep on the Site. If practicable, Supply My Business will retain this information along with all your previous posts and proposals for a period of one year from the date of termination to give you ample time to institute an appeal of our decision through the process described in the subsection titled "Disputes with Supply My Business." If you appeal our decision through that process within one year, Supply My Business will retain your information until such dispute is resolved. If you fail to appeal our decision within one year, Supply My Business may delete your information including data, messages, files, and other material you keep on the Site.
Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we will notify you if we close your Account, unless we believe, in our sole judgment, that giving notice may cause damage. You acknowledge and agree that the value, reputation, and goodwill of the Site depend on transparency of User's Account status to all Users, including both yourself and other Users who have entered into Service Contracts with you. You therefore agree as follows: IF SUPPLY MY BUSINESS DECIDES TO SUSPEND OR CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT, SUPPLY MY BUSINESS HAS THE RIGHT BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION TO: (A) NOTIFY OTHER USERS THAT HAVE ENTERED INTO SERVICE CONTRACTS WITH YOU TO INFORM THEM OF YOUR SUSPENDED OR CLOSED ACCOUNT STATUS, AND (B) PROVIDE THOSE USERS WITH A SUMMARY OF THE REASONS FOR YOUR ACCOUNT SUSPENSION OR CLOSURE.
After this Agreement terminates, the terms of this Agreement that expressly or by their nature contemplate performance after the Agreement terminates or expires will survive and continue in full force and effect. For example, the provisions protecting Confidential Information, requiring arbitration, permitting audits, protecting intellectual property, requiring non-circumvention, indemnification, payment of fees, reimbursement and setting forth limitations of liability each, by their nature, contemplate performance or observance after this Agreement terminates.
This Agreement, together with the other Terms of Service and any other legal notices and agreements published by Supply My Business on the Site, sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between you and Supply My Business relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and cancels and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous discussions, agreements, representations, warranties, and other communications between you and us, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof and thereof. The section headings in this Agreement are included for ease of reference only and have no binding effect. Even though Supply My Business drafted this Agreement, you represent that you had ample time to review and decide whether to agree to the terms of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation of this Agreement arises, no presumption or burden of proof will arise favouring or disfavouring you or Supply My Business because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
User will not violate any applicable UK laws or third-party rights on or related to the Site. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, User agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
No modification or amendment to this Agreement will be binding upon Supply My Business unless in a written instrument signed by a duly authorised representative of Supply My Business. For the purposes of this subsection, a written instrument will expressly exclude electronic communications, such as email and electronic notices.
The failure or delay of either party to exercise or enforce any right or claim does not constitute a waiver of such right or claim and will in no way affect that party's right to later enforce or exercise it, unless such party issues an express written waiver, signed by a duly authorised representative of such party.
User may not assign this Agreement, or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of Supply My Business in the form of a written instrument signed by a duly authorised representative of Supply My Business (and, for the purposes of this subsection, a written instrument will expressly exclude electronic communications such as email and electronic notices). Supply My Business may freely assign this Agreement without User's consent. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this subsection will be null and void. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.
If and to the extent any provision of this Agreement is held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable law, such provision or such portion thereof will be ineffective as to the jurisdiction in which it is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable to the extent of its illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability and will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties. The illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of such provision in that jurisdiction will not in any way affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or of any other provision in any jurisdiction.
The parties to this Agreement will not be responsible for the failure to perform or any delay in performance of any obligation hereunder due to labour disturbances, accidents, fires, floods, telecommunications or Internet failures, strikes, wars, riots, rebellions, blockades, acts of government, governmental requirements and regulations or restrictions imposed by law or any other similar conditions beyond the reasonable control of such party. The time for performance of such party will be extended by the period of such delay. Irrespective of any extension of time, if an event of Force Majeure occurs and its effect continues for a period of 60 days, either the party may give to the other a 30-day notice of termination. If, at the end of the 30 day period, the effect of the Force Majeure continues, the Agreement will terminate.
