General Terms

Welcome to VegaVend, a suite of optional Vendor services including Selling on VegaVend, Fulfilment by VegaVend, Sponsored Ads and Selling Partner API.

THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT GOVERN YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES THROUGH A PARTICULAR ACCOUNT OR ACCOUNTS AND IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU OR THE BUSINESS YOU REPRESENT (“YOU”) AND VEGAVEND LTD (THE “AGREEMENT”). BY REGISTERING FOR OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU (ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE BUSINESS YOU REPRESENT) AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE SERVICE TERMS AND PROGRAMME POLICIES FOR EACH SERVICE YOU REGISTER FOR OR USE IN CONNECTION WITH A PARTICULAR VEGAVEND SITE.

As used in this Agreement, “we,” “us,” and “VegaVend” means the VegaVend company named in the applicable Service Terms and “you” means the applicant (if registering for or using a Service as an individual), or the business the applicant is employed by or represents (if registering for or using a Service as a business). Capitalised terms have the meanings listed in the Definitions below. If there is any conflict between these General Terms and the applicable Service Terms and Programme Policies, the General Terms will govern and the applicable Service Terms will prevail over the Programme Policies.

1. Enrolment

To begin the enrolment process, you must complete the registration process for one or more of the Services. By registering for or using the Services you confirm that you did not rely on any oral or written representations made by employees of VegaVend and/or any of its affiliates and that you chose the service based on your own due diligence and consideration. Use of the Services is limited to parties that can lawfully enter into and form contracts under applicable law (for example, a particular VegaVend Site Country may not allow minors to use the Services). As part of the application, you must provide us with your (or your business’) legal name, Primary Place of Business address, phone number and e-mail address, as well as any other information we may request. Any personal data you provide to us will be handled in accordance with VegaVend’s Privacy Notice.

2. Service Fee Payments

Fee details are described fully in the applicable Service Terms and Programme Policies. You are responsible for all of your expenses in connection with this Agreement, unless this Agreement or the applicable Service Terms provide otherwise. To use a Service, you must provide VegaVend Stripe Payments (“VSP”) with your valid bank details and VegaVend Payments UK (“VPUK”) with valid credit card information from a credit card or credit cards accepted by VegaVend ( “Your Credit Card”). You will use only a name you are authorised to use in connection with a Service and will update all of the preceding information as necessary to ensure that it at all times remains accurate and complete. You authorise VSP or VPUK (and will provide us documentation evidencing your authorisation upon our request) to verify your information (including any updated information), to obtain credit reports about you from time to time, to obtain credit authorisations from the issuer of Your Credit Card, and to charge Your Credit Card or debit any of your payment account(s) held with VSP and/or VPUK, where applicable, for any sums payable by you to us (in reimbursement or otherwise). All payments to you will be made in accordance with the VSP User Agreement. If you have received an VPUK Account Confirmation Notice, all payments to you in relation to the UK VegaVend Site will be made in accordance with the VPUK User Agreement and all payments to you in relation to the DE VegaVend Site, the ES VegaVend Site, the FR VegaVend Site, the IT VegaVend Site, the NL VegaVend Site and/or the SE VegaVend Site will be made in accordance with the VSP User Agreement. In addition to charging payable sums to Your Credit Card, you authorise VSP or VPUK to choose instead to either (a) offset any amounts that are payable by you to us (in reimbursement or otherwise) against any payments we may make to you, or (b) invoice you for amounts due to us, in which case you will pay the invoiced amounts upon receipt. Except as provided otherwise, all amounts contemplated in this Agreement will be expressed and displayed in the Local Currency, and all payments contemplated by this Agreement will be made in the Local Currency.

3. Term and Termination

The term of this Agreement will start on the date of your completed registration for use of a Selling Service and continue until terminated by us or you as provided below. You may at any time terminate your use of any Selling Service immediately on notice to us via Your Vendor Dashboard, email, the Contact Us Form, or similar means. We may terminate your use of any Services or terminate this Agreement for convenience with 30 days’ advance notice. We may suspend or terminate your use of any Services immediately if we determine that (a) you have materially breached the Agreement and failed to cure within 7 days of a cure notice unless your breach exposes us to liability towards a third party, in which case we are entitled to reduce, or waive, the aforementioned cure period at our reasonable discretion; (b) your account has been, or our controls identify that it may be used for deceptive or fraudulent or illegal activity; or (c) your use of the Services has harmed or our controls identify that it might harm other Vendors, customers, or VegaVend’s legitimate interest. We will promptly notify you of any such termination or suspension via email or similar means sent to you individually, and on Your Vendor Dashboard, indicating the reason and any options to appeal, except where we have reason to believe that providing this information will hinder the investigation or prevention of deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or will enable you to circumvent our safeguards. Any suspension will last until you have provided satisfactory evidence that you have cured its cause and implemented the necessary changes except in case of suspension based under (b) or (c) above where we terminate or may not reinstate in light of the initially deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity or harm. On termination of this Agreement, all related rights and obligations under this Agreement immediately terminate, except that (d) you will remain responsible for performing all of your obligations in connection with transactions entered into before termination and for any liabilities that accrued before or as a result of termination, and (e) Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 15 and 17 of these General Terms survive.

Each party represents and warrants that: (a) if it is a business, it is duly organised, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the territory in which the business is registered; (b) it has all requisite right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations and grant the rights, licences and authorisations its grants hereunder; (c) any information provided or made available by one party to the other party or its affiliates is accurate and complete, and it will promptly update such information as necessary to ensure it at all times remains accurate and complete, (d) it is not subject to sanctions or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties or owned or controlled by such a party, including but not limited to the lists maintained by the United Nations Security Council, the UK Government, the European Union or its member states, or other applicable government authority and (e) it will comply with all applicable Laws in performance of its obligations and exercise of its rights under this Agreement.

6. Indemnification

6.3 Process. If any indemnified Claim might adversely affect us, we may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, voluntarily intervene in the proceedings at our expense. No party may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of an indemnified Claim without the prior written consent of the other party, which may not be unreasonably withheld; except that a party may settle any claim that is exclusively directed at and exclusively affects that party.

7. Limitation of Liability

In case of minor negligence, the parties are only liable for (a) injury to life, body, or health; or (b) foreseeable typically occurring damages resulting from the breach of a fundamental contractual obligation.

As between the parties, you will be responsible for the collection, reporting, and payment of any and all of Your Taxes, except to the extent that (i) VegaVend automatically calculates, collects, or remits taxes on your behalf according to applicable law; or (ii) VegaVend expressly agrees to receive taxes or other transaction-based charges on your behalf in connection with tax calculation services made available by VegaVend and used by you. You agree to and will comply with the tax policies listed under the Programme Policies. All fees and payments payable by you to VegaVend under this Agreement or the applicable Service Terms are exclusive of any applicable taxes, deductions or withholding (including but not limited to cross-border withholding taxes), and you will be responsible for paying VegaVend any of Your Taxes imposed on such fees and any deduction or withholding required on any payment.

You agree to accept electronic invoices from VegaVend in a format and method of delivery as determined by us.

10. Self-billing

Self-billed invoices will contain any information that we determine is required to issue a VAT-compliant invoice under the applicable Law.

The foregoing sentence does not restrict your right to share Confidential Information with a governmental entity that has jurisdiction over you, provided that you limit the disclosure to the minimum necessary and explicitly indicate the confidential nature of the shared information to the governmental entity. You may not issue any press release related to the Services, or use our name, trademarks or logo in any way (including in promotional material) without our advance written permission, or misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us in any way. You may only use the “Available at VegaVend” Badge as defined in and according to the Trademark Usage Guidelines available in Your Vendor Dashboard; you may not use our name, trademarks, or logos in any way (including in promotional material) not covered by the Trademark Usage Guidelines without our advance written permission.

You are controllers of the customer personal data that are strictly necessary to fulfil orders and may not use any such customer personal data (including contact information) for any purpose other than fulfilling orders or providing customer service in connection with a Service. Generally, you may not use such data in any way inconsistent with applicable law.

12. Force Majeure.

We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any of our obligations under this Agreement by reasons, events or other matters beyond our reasonable control.

13. Relationship of Parties

You and we are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between the parties. VegaVend is not an auctioneer, neither is it an intermediary between the buyer and the Vendor. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your site or otherwise, that would contradict anything in this section. This Agreement will not create an exclusive relationship between you and us. Nothing expressed or mentioned in or implied from this Agreement is intended or will be construed to give to any Person other than the parties hereto any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or in respect to this Agreement. This Agreement and all of the representations, warranties, covenants, conditions, and provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and are for the sole and exclusive benefit of VegaVend, you, and relying customers or Vendors. As between you and us, you will be solely responsible for all obligations associated with the use of any third party service or feature that you permit us to use on your behalf, including compliance with any applicable terms of use.

14. Suggestions and Other Information

If you or any of your affiliates elect to provide or make available suggestions, comments, ideas, improvements, or other feedback or materials to us in connection with or related to any VegaVend Site or Service (including any related Technology), you will, to the extent necessary and authorised by law, irrevocably grant to us, a royalty-free and worldwide license on all right, title, and interest in and to the suggestions for the duration of protection of the underlying rights. In order to cooperate with governmental requests, to protect our systems and customers, or to ensure the integrity and operation of our business and systems, we may access and disclose any information we consider necessary or appropriate, including but not limited to user contact details, IP addresses and traffic information, usage history and posted content.

15. Modification

We will provide at least 15 days’ advance notice in accordance with Section 17 for changes to the Agreement.

However, we may change or modify the Agreement at any time with immediate effect (a) for legal, regulatory, fraud and abuse prevention, or security reasons; (b) to change existing features or add additional features to the Services (where this does not materially adversely affect your use of the Services); or (c) to restrict products or activities that we deem unsafe, inappropriate, or offensive. We will notify you about any change or modification in accordance with Section 17.

Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any change to this Agreement in accordance with this Section 15 will constitute your acceptance of that change. If any change is unacceptable to you, you agree not to use the Services and to end the Agreement as described in Section 3.

16. Password Security

Any password we provide to you may be used only during the Term to access Your Vendor Dashboard (or other tools we provide) to use the Services, electronically accept Your Transactions, and review your completed Transactions. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your password. You may not disclose your password to any third party (other than third parties authorised by you to use your account or Your Vendor Dashboard in accordance with this Agreement) and are solely responsible for any use of or action taken under your password. If your password is compromised, you must immediately change your password.

17. Miscellaneous

The laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg govern this Agreement and all of its terms and conditions, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Any dispute relating in any way to your use of the Services or this Agreement will be adjudicated in the courts of the district of Luxembourg City, Luxembourg non-exclusively. You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Any attempt to assign or otherwise transfer in violation of this section is void provided, however, that upon notice to VegaVend, you may assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any of your Affiliates as long as you remain liable for your obligations that arose prior to the effective date of the assignment or transfer under this Agreement. You agree that we may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under this Agreement: (a) in connection with a merger, consolidation, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or similar transaction;, or (b) to any Affiliate or as part of a corporate reorganisation; and effective upon such assignment, the assignee is deemed substituted for VegaVend as the party to this Agreement. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to, and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

VegaVend retains the right to immediately halt any Transaction, prevent or restrict access to the Services or take any other action to restrict access to or availability of any inaccurate listing, any inappropriately categorised items, any unlawful items, or any items otherwise prohibited by the applicable Programme Policies.

You must send all notices and other communications relating to VegaVend to our Selling Partner Support team via Your Vendor Dashboard, email, the Contact Us form, or similar means.

You may change your e-mail addresses by updating your information in Your Vendor Dashboard. You will update your e-mail addresses (as well as your legal name, address and phone number) as often as necessary to ensure that they are accurate.

If any provision of this Agreement is deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these terms and conditions and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. This Agreement, together with the VSP User Agreement and the VPUK User Agreement, represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Services and related subject matter described herein and supersedes any previous or contemporaneous oral or written agreements and understandings.

Selling Partner API Terms

API-1 Description of the Selling Partner APIs

The “Selling Partner APIs” enable your systems to interface with certain features or functionality we make available to you. These Selling Partner API Terms concern and apply only to your use of the Selling Partner APIs unless specifically provided otherwise. Under the Selling Partner API Terms, you may authorise parties who (a) develop Applications to support you using the Selling Partner APIs or the API Materials, (b) have registered with us as Developers, and (c) who have agreed to the Marketplace Developer Agreement (“Developers”) to access Confidential Information and Your Materials via the Selling Partner APIs provided in each case that where Confidential Information is disclosed to Developers you shall remain liable for the acts or omissions of such Developers as if such acts or omissions were your own. If you wish to use the Selling Partner APIs directly or develop software or a website that interfaces with the Selling Partner APIs or the API Materials (an “Application”), you must register as a Developer.

We may make available Selling Partner APIs (including the Marketplace Web Services APIs) and software, data, text, audio, video, images, or other content we make available in connection with the Selling Partner APIs, including related documentation, software libraries, and other supporting materials, regardless of format (collectively the “API Materials”) that permit your systems to interface with certain features or functionality available to you. You may authorise Developers to access Confidential Information and Your Materials via the Selling Partner APIs solely for the purpose of supporting your business on VegaVend and provided, in each case, that where Confidential Information is disclosed to Developers you shall remain liable for the acts or omissions of such Developers as if such acts or omissions were your own. All terms and conditions applicable to the Selling Partner APIs and the API Materials in this Agreement are solely between you and us. API Materials that are public or open source software (“Public Software”) may be provided to you under a separate license, in which case, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, that license will govern your use of those API Materials. For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent expressly prohibited by the license governing any API Materials that are Public Software, all of the non-license provisions of this Agreement will apply.

API-2 License and Related Requirements

API-2.1 Generally.

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non sub-licensable, non-transferable license during the term of the Agreement to allow Developers to access and use Confidential Information and Your Materials through the Selling Partner APIs and the API Materials solely in support of your use of the Services covered by this Agreement. As between you and us, we or our licensors own all right, title, and interest in and to the Confidential Information, the Selling Partner APIs, the API Materials, any technical and operational specifications, security protocols and other documentation or policies provided or made available by us with respect to the Selling Partner APIs or the API Materials (the “Selling Partner API Specifications”), and our internal data centre facilities, servers, networking equipment, and host software systems that are within our or their reasonable control and are used to provide the Selling Partner APIs or the API Materials (the “VegaVend Network”).

API-2.2 License Restrictions.

You may authorise Developers to access Confidential Information and Your Materials through the Selling Partner APIs and the API Materials only through APIs documented and communicated by us in accordance with any applicable Selling Partner API Specifications. You may not and may not authorise any other party to do any of the following with the Confidential Information, the Selling Partner APIs and the API Materials: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble them; (b) modify or create derivative works based upon them in whole or in part; (c) distribute copies of them; (d) remove any proprietary notices or labels on them; (e) use any Public Software in any manner that requires, pursuant to the license applicable to such Public Software, that the Confidential Information, the Selling Partner APIs and the API Materials be disclosed, licensed, distributed, or otherwise made available to anyone; (f) resell, lease, rent, transfer, sublicense, or otherwise transfer rights to them; (g) access or use them in a way intended to avoid incurring any applicable fees or exceeding usage limits or quotas; (h) access or use them for any purpose unrelated to your use of Services; or (i) access or use them for fraudulent or illegal activities or activities that violate our policies or are otherwise harmful to us or any third parties. The limitations regarding data use in Section 11 above apply to any information you disclose or receive by the direct or indirect use of the Selling Partner APIs.

API-2.3 No License for Direct Access.

For the avoidance of doubt, these Selling Partner API Terms do not provide you a license to directly access or use the Selling Partner APIs, or install, copy, use, or distribute API Materials. Direct use of the Selling Partner APIs may only be licensed to Developers.

API-2.4 Account Identifiers and Credentials.

You must use the account IDs and any unique public key/private key pair issued by us to provide access to your data via the Selling Partner APIs (“Account Identifiers and Credentials”) in accordance with these Selling Partner API Terms to authorise Developers to access the Selling Partner APIs on your behalf. You may only authorise access to Confidential Information and Your Materials via the Selling Partner APIs in the way that we prescribe. Your Account Identifiers and Credentials are for your personal use only and you must maintain their secrecy and security. You are solely responsible for all activities that occur using your Account Identifiers and Credentials, regardless of whether the activities are undertaken by you or a third party (including your employees, contractors, or agents). You will provide us with notice immediately if you believe an unauthorised third party may be using your Account Identifiers and Credentials or if your Account Identifiers and Credentials are lost or stolen. We are not responsible for unauthorised use of your Account Identifiers and Credentials.

API-2.5 Security of Your Materials and Confidential Information.

You are solely responsible for authorising others to access the Selling Partner APIs on your behalf and taking your own steps to maintain appropriate security, protection, and backup of the Confidential Information and Your Materials processed pursuant to your access to the Selling Partner APIs and the API Materials, including any Confidential Information you have disclosed to Developers in accordance with this Agreement. We are not responsible for any unauthorised access to, alteration of, or deletion, destruction, damage, loss, or failure to store any of Confidential Information or Your Materials in connection with the Selling Partner APIs (including as a result of your or any third party’s errors, acts, or omissions). If you believe (acting reasonably) that a personal data breach has occurred in relation to any customer personal data in your possession or otherwise under your control (including in the possession of a Developer), you shall immediately notify VegaVend of such personal data breach (in sufficient detail) for information purposes, and promptly take any actions (or require a Developer take such actions, if relevant) as applicable to you under data privacy Laws.
