13. TRANSACTING AS A BUSINESS ENTITY

13.1 The Service Provider acknowledges that the use of the Site is not restricted to businesses or companies only and may be accessed by natural persons. However, for the purposes of any Transactions as defined in Clause 14.2 below, the Service Provider shall treat any User, Registered User or User who has subscribed to the Premium Service as a trade, business, company or other distinct separate legal entity ('Business Entity') and not as a natural person as set out by the Consumer Protection Act 2007, as amended, the Consumer Protection Code (and other similar consumer legislative provisions which exist outside of Ireland) ('Consumer Legislation'). This means that any User, Registered User or User who has subscribed to the Premium Service cannot rely on such Consumer Legislation, and any rights or protections afforded to a consumer as defined by the Consumer Legislation, do not apply.

13.2 If as a User, Registered User or User who has subscribed to the Premium Service, you are or represent a Business Entity, you warrant that (a) you have the authority to bind the Business Entity to the Terms; (b) the address you use when registering is the principal place of business of such a Business Entity; and (c) all other information submitted to the Service Provider during the registration process is true, accurate, current and complete. For the purposes of this provision, a branch or representative office will not be considered a separate entity and its principal place of business will be deemed to be that of its head office.

14. TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN BUYERS AND SUPPLIERS - THE TRADING FLOOR

14.1 Through the Site, one of the services provided by the Service Provider is an electronic web-based platform for exchanging information between Users who are buyers of products and services and Users who are suppliers of products and services (the 'Trading Floor'). The function of the Trading Floor is to act as a venue to allow Users to offer, seek, buy and sell mobile phones, cellular phones and all associated accessories, cellular network infrastructure (e.g. base stations, switches, antennas), and related items (the 'Products') to each other.

14.2 The Service Provider is not an auctioneer. The Service Provider merely provides a trading floor facility which operates by linking and matching Users and thereby facilitating trade in the Products between Users. Those Users listing Products for sale via the Trading Floor are referred to as the Sellers (the 'Sellers'), while those Users purchasing Products via the Trading Floor are referred to as the Buyers (the 'Buyers'). The trade in the Products may be by way of fixed price transaction or by bidding as part of an auction-style listing between Users (the 'Transactions'). The Service Provider does not possess the items offered through the Site and is not involved in Transactions between Users. Furthermore the Service Provider does not represent the Seller nor the Buyer in Transactions.

14.3 The Service Provider does not control and is not liable to or responsible for the accuracy or reliability of the listings and descriptions of Products included on the Trading Floor, any written or oral representations given by the Seller in relation to such Products, the quality, safety, lawfulness or availability of the Products offered for sale on the Trading Floor or the ability of the Sellers or Buyers to complete a proposed Transaction (and this Clause 14.3 also applies to those listings sent by email or communicated orally or otherwise to the Service Provider by Users and posted on the Trading Floor by the Service Provider on behalf of such Users).

14.4 There may be risks of dealing with people acting deceitfully or under false pretences. The Service Provider does not verify the identity of Users or the validity of the information which Users post on the Trading Floor. For this reason you should independently verify the identity of Users you trade with via this Trading Floor. We encourage you to use the various tools available on the Site, as well as common sense, to evaluate with whom you are dealing.

14.5 You acknowledge that you are fully assuming the risks of purchase and sale when using the Site to conduct Transactions. Such risks shall include, but are not limited to: misrepresentation of products and services, fraudulent schemes, unsatisfactory quality, failure to meet specifications or international standards, defective products, delay or default in delivery or payment, cost miscalculations, breach of warranty, breach of contract and transportation accidents ('Transaction Risks'). You agree that the Service Provider shall not be liable or responsible for any damages that may arise as a result of or in connection with any Transaction Risks.

14.6 The Service Provider is not responsible for ensuring that Buyers and Sellers actually complete a Transaction. The offer, sale, purchase, export or import of any Product is not valid and legally binding merely because it is listed on the Trading Floor, nor do we accept any obligation to protect you from unsafe Products listed for sale on the Trading Floor.

14.7 You are solely responsible for all of the terms and conditions of the Transactions conducted on, through or as a result of use of the Trading Floor, including, without limitation, terms regarding payment, returns, warranties, shipping, insurance, fees, taxes, title, licenses, fines, permits, handling, transportation and storage. You must not offer, sell, bid for, or buy any items which we do not permit on the Site, including but not restricted to, encryption software or hardware and any products subject to any export control policies in any of the countries where the Site is accessible.

14.8 When using this Site, you accept and agree that the Service Provider is not responsible for the acts or omissions of Users on the Site. In the event that any User has a dispute with any party to a Transaction, such User agrees to release and indemnify the Service Provider (and its agents, affiliates, directors, officers and employees) from all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, costs, expenses and damages (including without limitation any actual, special, incidental or consequential damages) arising out of or in connection with such Transaction and that any right, claim or action you have against any other User arising from that User's use of the Site, will be pursued independently of and without recourse to us.

15. RULES FOR BUYERS USING THE TRADING FLOOR

15.1 If you are a Buyer, you are legally obliged to conclude a Transaction with a Seller for a Product on the Trading Floor if you agree to purchase a Product listed on the Trading Floor from another User via the Trading Floor unless the Transaction is prohibited by these Terms or by local or international law.

15.2 You agree to be bound by the sale terms included or description of the Products when buying from a User or bidding against other Users unless such sale terms are in breach of these Terms or are otherwise unlawful.

15.3 Only in certain exceptional circumstances will you be permitted to cancel a Transaction or withdraw a bid. An example of such an instance includes where the Seller alters the price or description after a Transaction is agreed or a bid has been placed.

15.4 As a Buyer you are entitled to place purchase requests on the Trading Floor only if you are the intended buyer of the Products requested. Any form of brokering or agency arrangements whereby Users conduct or engage in Transactions or bids on the Trading Floor on behalf of third parties or with the intention of selling the Products on to third parties are strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated by the Service Provider. Any User found to be engaging in such brokering or agency practices will immediately have their access to and right to use the Site and, in particular, the Trading Floor, terminated.

16. RULES FOR SELLERS USING THE TRADING FLOOR

16.1 As a Seller, you must make certain you are legally entitled to sell the Product placed on the Site. In addition a Seller must ensure that it is lawful to sell and/or export such Product to the Buyer (taking into account the operative laws in the jurisdiction where the Buyer is located).

16.2 As a Seller you are entitled to respond to purchase requests and engage in Transactions on the Trading Floor only if you are the actual Seller of the Products listed. Any form of brokering or agency arrangements whereby a Seller is conducting Transactions on the Trading Floor on behalf of third parties or with the intention of selling the Products on behalf of third parties are strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated by the Service Provider. Any User found to be engaging in such brokering or agency practices will immediately have their access to and right to use the Site and, in particular, the Trading Floor, terminated.

16.3 You must carefully, accurately and honestly describe the Products being sold. At no point will the Service Provider be responsible for the description provided by a User acting as a Seller.

16.4 Where a Seller receives and accepts a bid in respect of any Product listed on the Site both the Buyer and the Seller must complete the Transaction unless the Buyer fails to meet the conditions of the Seller's listing.

16.5 You undertake not to engage in any practices that involve the manipulation of the price of any Product or interfering with another User's listing(s). Without limitation, you must not: (a) bid in a listing where you are the Seller, or arrange for any other person to do so on your behalf; (b) independently contact bidders in a listing where Products are listed for sale in order to offer similar items to the bidders in that listing; or (c) make bids or make any payment using a false User ID.

20.1 The Site has been created and is controlled by the Service Provider in Ireland. These Terms will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Ireland (excluding Northern Ireland). You hereby unconditionally and irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ireland (excluding Northern Ireland).

20.2 For disputes arising between a Buyer and Seller (the 'Parties') regarding transactions resulting from the Trading Floor, the Buyer and Seller shall attempt to have the dispute resolved by use of mediation or other alternative dispute resolution ('ADR') procedure as agreed between the Parties, each acting in good faith. Either the Buyer or the Seller may initiate the procedure by written notice to the other party. If the Parties are unable to agree a procedure they may seek assistance from the Dublin International Arbitration Centre, which is currently located at Distillery Building, 145-151 Church Street, Dublin 7, or such other similar body as may be agreed by the parties from time to time. Unless otherwise agreed, the Parties will share equally the costs of ADR, and the use of mediation or other ADR procedure will be without prejudice to the rights of the Parties in all respects if the mediation or other ADR procedure does not achieve an agreed resolution to the dispute. For the avoidance of doubt the Service Provider will have no involvement in any ADR procedure and the cost of such ADR procedure will be fully borne by the Parties and not by the Service Provider.

20.3 The country in which you are based and/or the country of any User you communicate or trade with on this Site may have laws which apply to Transactions with other Users. These laws may apply regardless of what you agree with that User or with the Service Provider and as a result there may be additional legal requirements. You agree to conform and comply with all applicable domestic and international laws and regulations regarding your use of the Site and the services provided hereon including the listing, bidding, purchasing and solicitation of Transactions.
