TrustClarity Inc. ("TrustClarity" or “we”) operates a website- and web application-based marketplace (the "Services"), which allows vendors ("Vendors") to build white-labeled pages ("Pages") from which such Vendors can sell their products ("Products") to third-party purchasers ("Purchasers"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to your access to and use of the Services. You may be using the Services in the capacity of a Vendor or Purchaser, and the terms applicable to Vendors or Purchasers will apply to you in your capacity as a Vendor or Purchaser. Unless otherwise set forth herein, "you" refers to both Vendors and Purchasers.
BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND ALL TERMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS IN THEIR ENTIRETY, DO NOT USE OUR SERVICES.
We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. If we make changes, we will provide you with notice of such changes, such as by sending an email, providing a notice through our Services or updating the date at the top of these Terms. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the amended Terms will be effective immediately, and your continued use of our Services after we provide such notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop using our Services.
If you have any questions about these Terms or our Services, please contact us at info@trustclarity.com.
The Services are a neutral marketplace that enables communication and transactions between Purchasers seeking to purchase, and Vendors seeking to offer, Products. As a provider of a neutral marketplace, TrustClarity does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Products. Vendors alone are responsible for their Products. When a Purchaser purchases Products, that Purchaser is entering into a contract directly with the Vendor, not TrustClarity, and TrustClarity is not and does not become a party to, or other participant in, any contractual relationship between Purchasers and Vendors. TrustClarity is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Purchaser or Vendor. Without limiting the foregoing, TrustClarity assumes no liability or responsibility for damages associated with the Products or resulting from any other transactions between Purchasers and Vendors.
We have no control over and do not guarantee (a) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Products, (b) the truth or accuracy of any Product descriptions, ratings, reviews, or Content (as defined below), or (c) the performance or conduct of any Vendor, Purchaser, or third party. TrustClarity does not endorse any Vendor, Purchaser, or Product. Any description of any Purchaser, Vendor, or Product is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by TrustClarity about any such Purchaser, Vendor, or Product. Any Content posted by a Vendor or about a Product is not an endorsement by TrustClarity of any Vendor or Product.

You are responsible for all activities that occur in connection with your account. We reserve the right to reclaim usernames, including on behalf of businesses or individuals that hold legal claim, including trademark rights, in those usernames. If we terminate or suspend your account in accordance with Section 18 of these Terms, you may not create additional accounts.

We may provide information about third-party products, services, activities or events, or we may allow third parties to make their content and information available on or through the Services (collectively, "Third-Party Content"). We provide Third-Party Content as a service to those interested in such content. Your dealings or correspondence with third parties and your use of or interaction with any Third-Party Content are solely between you and the third party. TrustClarity does not control or endorse, and makes no representations or warranties regarding, any Third-Party Content, and your access to and use of such Third-Party Content is at your own risk.

You agree to cooperate with the TrustClarity Parties in defending such Claims.
Your use of our Services is at your sole risk. Except as otherwise provided in a writing by us, our Services and any content therein are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. In addition, TrustClarity does not represent or warrant that our Services are accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, TrustClarity and the other TrustClarity Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, punitive or special damages or lost profits, even if TrustClarity or the other TrustClarity Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
The total liability of TrustClarity and the other TrustClarity Parties for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services, regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the amount paid by you to use our Services.
The limitations set forth in this Section 14 will not limit or exclude liability for the gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of TrustClarity or the other TrustClarity Parties or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release TrustClarity and the other TrustClarity Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to (a) disputes between you and a Purchaser or Vendor, as applicable, (b) the acts or omissions of Vendors and/or third parties, and/or (c) the provision of the Products.
If you are a consumer who resides in California, you hereby waive your rights under California Civil Code § 1542, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
In order for us to provide our Services, you agree that we may process, transfer and store information about you in the United States and other countries, where you may not have the same rights and protections as you do under local law.
Any dispute arising from these Terms and your use of the Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of Illinois or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts of the State of Illinois and the United States, respectively, sitting in Chicago, Illinois.
We reserve the right to modify our Services or to suspend or stop providing all or portions of our Services to you (including, without limitation, by suspending or terminating your account) at any time. You also have the right to stop using our Services at any time. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Services.
