Last Updated Date: November 18, 2025

Welcome and thank you for your interest in TradeEngage, Inc. (“TradeEngage,” “we,” us,” or our”). This Terms of Use Agreement (“Terms of Use,” and together with any applicable Supplemental Terms (as defined in Section 1.1(b) (Supplemental Terms)), the “User Agreement”) describes the terms and conditions that apply to your use of: (1) the website located at https://www.tradeengage.com/ and its subdomains (the “Website”); (2) any mobile application(s) that we offer subject to these Terms of Use (each, an “Application”), and (3) the products, services, content, and other resources available on or enabled via our Website and Application, including the services described in Section 1.1(a) (collectively, the “Service”).

If you are a Service Provider or an Authorized User (as each terms are defined in Section 1.1 below) that uses the Service pursuant to a separate enterprise services agreement between you (“Enterprise”) and TradeEngage (an “Enterprise Agreement”), then your access to any such Service is subject to the terms of such Enterprise Agreement as well as this User Agreement, and in the event of a conflict between the terms of this User Agreement and the terms of the Enterprise Agreement, the terms of the Enterprise Agreement shall prevail to the extent of such conflict.

Please read this User Agreement carefully. This User Agreement governs the use of the Service and applies to: (1) Service Providers (including Authorized Users); (2) Customers (as defined in Section 1.1 below); and (3) all other users that register on the Service, are provisioned an Account (as defined in Section 2.1 below) or otherwise visit or access the Service (collectively, the “Users”).

BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE IN ANY WAY, ACCEPTING THIS USER AGREEMENT BY CLICKING ON THE “I ACCEPT” BUTTON, SIGNING AN ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT THAT INCORPORATES THIS USER AGREEMENT, OR COMPLETING THE ACCOUNT REGISTRATION PROCESS, YOU REPRESENT THAT: (1) YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS USER AGREEMENT; (2) YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE AND STATUS TO FORM A BINDING CONTRACT WITH TRADEENGAGE; (3) YOU ARE NOT BARRED FROM USING THE SERVICE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, YOUR PLACE OF RESIDENCE, OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION; AND (4) YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THIS USER AGREEMENT PERSONALLY OR, IF YOU ARE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE ON BEHALF OF AN ENTITY, ON BEHALF OF THE ENTITY IDENTIFIED IN THE ACCOUNT REGISTRATION PROCESS.

Autorenewal

If you subscribe to any feature or functionality of the Service for a term (the “Initial Term”), then your Subscription (as defined in Section 9.2 below) will be automatically renewed for additional periods (each, a “Renewal Term”) of the same duration as the Initial Term at TradeEngage’s then-current Fee (as defined in Section 9.1 below) for such features and functionality unless you decline to renew your Subscription in accordance with Section 9.2(a) (Automatic Renewal) below.

Arbitration

Section 188 (Arbitration Agreement) contains provisions that govern how to resolve disputes between you and TradeEngage. Among other things, Section 188 (Arbitration Agreement) includes an agreement to arbitrate that requires, with limited exceptions, that all disputes between you and us shall be resolved by binding and final arbitration. Section 188 also contains a class action and jury trial waiver. Please read Section 188 (Arbitration Agreement) carefully. Unless you opt out of the Arbitration Agreement (as defined in Section 188) within thirty (30) days in accordance with Section 18.88 (30-day right to opt out): (1) you will only be permitted to pursue disputes or claims and seek relief against us on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding, and you waive your right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration; and (2) you are waiving your right to pursue disputes or claims and seek relief in a court of law and to have a jury trial.

User Agreement Changes

The User Agreement is subject to change by TradeEngage in its sole discretion at any time as set forth in Section 19.88 (User Agreement Updates).

  1. USE OF THE SERVICE. The Service, and the information and content available on the Service, are protected by applicable intellectual property (including copyright) laws. Unless subject to a separate license agreement between you and TradeEngage, your right to access and use the Service, in whole or in part, is subject to this User Agreement.
    1. Our Service Connects Service Providers and Customers. TradeEngage provides a marketplace and cross-promotion platform for the service provider, technician, and trades ecosystem. 
      1. Cross-Promotion Platform. The Service is primarily focused on facilitating introductions and cross-promotions among entities that offer and provide certain tradesperson services (“Service Providers”), including franchisees, employees, contractors, and agents designated or invited by Service Providers to access and use the Service pursuant to this User Agreement (“Authorized Users”). The Service also allows recipients of services from Service Providers (“Customers”) to receive offers for, accept and track the services provided by Service Providers (such services, “Jobs”). Accordingly, the Service facilitates introductions between Service Providers and between Service Providers and Customers. TradeEngage has no control over, and does not guarantee, the existence, quality, safety, or legality of services or conduct of any User, such as any Jobs offered or cross-promoted on the Service; the truth or accuracy of any Users’ content; the ability for Service Providers to provide Cross-Promotions (as defined in Section 10.1 below), Jobs and other services; or the ability for Customers to pay for Jobs or other services. 
      2. We are not a Party to User Transactions. Because our Service serves as a venue, we are not a party to any contracts or transactions between Service Providers with respect to any cross-promotion agreements, nor are we a party to any contracts between Service Providers, Authorized Users, and Customers with respect to any Job or provision of service. TradeEngage does not offer nor provide the services listed by Service Providers on the Service. While we may display pricing information and cross-promotion payment terms of Service Providers and recommendations of other Service Providers you may be interested in connecting with, such features are for informational purposes only. You understand and agree that TradeEngage does not represent, warrant, endorse, review, or otherwise approve of other Users on the Service. We do not have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any aspect whatsoever of any services provided by other Users, or of the integrity, responsibility, or any actions of any Users. Although we may choose in our discretion to conduct limited verification processes for certain Users, you understand and agree that our process is based on the information provided to us by such User, and we cannot confirm that all information provided to us is accurate and each User is who they claim to be. Outside of the limited verification stated in the foregoing sentence, you understand that we do not inquire into the backgrounds of our Users or attempt to verify the statements of our Users. TradeEngage makes no representations about the suitability, reliability, timeliness or accuracy in public, private or offline interactions or with respect to any User.
    2. Authorized Users. Authorized Users may have certain administrative capacities, as designated by the applicable Service Provider through the Service. If you are a Service Provider, you acknowledge and agree that you are directly responsible for the actions and omissions of your Authorized Users, whether or not such actions or omissions have been directed or authorized by you. In addition, if you are an Authorized User, you acknowledge that you are responsible to TradeEngage for your compliance with this User Agreement.
    3. Enterprise Affiliation. If you use the Service in connection with or subject to your relationship with an Enterprise, then (a) if you have questions about using any Service you should direct them to such Enterprise, and (b) such Enterprise may revoke or modify your access to the Service at any time. You further acknowledge and agree that any additional features you purchase or opt-in to on the Service directly with TradeEngage separate from your relationship with the Enterprise is solely between you and TradeEngage, and you are solely liable for any fees associated with such features, and this User Agreement governs your access or use of such features. 
    4. Supplemental Terms. Your use of, and participation in, certain features and functionality of the Service may be subject to additional terms (“Supplemental Terms”). Such Supplemental Terms either will be set forth in the applicable supplemental Service or will be presented to you for your acceptance when you sign up to use the supplemental Service. If these Terms of Use are inconsistent with the Supplemental Terms, then the Supplemental Terms control with respect to such supplemental Service. 
    5. TradeEngage Software. Use of any software and associated documentation that is made available via the Service (“Software”) is governed by the terms of the license agreement that accompanies or is included with the Software, or by the license agreement expressly stated on the Website page(s) accompanying the Software. These license terms may be posted with the Software downloads or at the Website page where the Software can be accessed. You shall not use, download or install any Software that is accompanied by or includes a license agreement unless you agree to the terms of such license agreement. At no time will TradeEngage provide you with any tangible copy of our Software. TradeEngage shall deliver access to the Software via electronic transfer or download and shall not use or deliver any tangible media in connection with the (a) delivery, installation, updating or problem resolution of any Software (including any new releases); or (b) delivery, correction or updating of documentation. For the purposes of this section tangible media shall include, but not be limited to, any tape disk, compact disk, card, flash drive, or any other comparable physical medium. Unless the accompanying license agreement expressly allows otherwise, any copying or redistribution of the Software is prohibited, including any copying or redistribution of the Software to any other server or location, or redistribution or use on a service bureau basis. If there is any conflict between the User Agreement and the license agreement, the license agreement shall take precedence in relation to that Software (except as provided in the following sentence). If the Software is a pre-release version, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary included within an accompanying license agreement, you are not permitted to use or otherwise rely on the Software for any commercial or production purposes. If no license agreement accompanies use of the Software, use of the Software will be governed by the User Agreement. Subject to your compliance with the User Agreement, TradeEngage grants you a non-assignable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable non-exclusive license to use the Software for the sole purpose of enabling you to use the Service in the manner permitted by the User Agreement. Some Software may be offered under an open source license that we will make available to you. There may be provisions in the open source license that expressly override some of these terms.
    6. Updates. You understand that the Service is evolving. You acknowledge and agree that TradeEngage may update the Service with or without notifying you. You may need to update third-party software from time to time in order to continue to use the Service. Any future release, update or other addition to the Service shall be subject to this User Agreement.
    7. Text Message Service. TradeEngage may offer one or more mobile message programs (collectively, the “Message Service”) that allows Users to receive SMS/MMS mobile messages by opting-in such as through online or application-based enrollment forms. Regardless of the opt-in method you use to enroll, you agree that your use of the Message Service is governed by this User Agreement. We do not charge for the Message Service, but you are responsible for all charges and fees associated with mobile messaging imposed by your wireless carrier and you acknowledge that your carrier may charge you or deduct usage credit from your Account when you text us or we send messages to you. Message and data rates may apply. By enrolling a telephone number in the Message Service, you authorize us to send recurring SMS and MMS mobile messages to the number you specify, and you represent that you are authorized to receive mobile messages at such number. The messages sent through the Message Service may include. You agree that these messages may be transmitted using an automatic telephone dialing system (“ATDS”), other automated systems for the selection or dialing of telephone numbers, or different technology. Your consent to receive mobile messages via an ATDS or other automated system for the selection or dialing of numbers is not required (directly or indirectly) as a condition of purchasing any services. While you consent to receive messages sent using an ATDS, the foregoing shall not be interpreted to suggest or imply that any or all of our messages are sent using such a system. Message frequency varies. If you do not wish to continue participating in a Message Service program we offer, you agree to reply STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT to any mobile message you receive from that program to opt out. You may receive an additional mobile message confirming your decision to opt out. You understand and agree that the foregoing options are the only reasonable methods of opting out. You acknowledge that our text message platform may not recognize and respond to unsubscribe requests that alter, change, or modify the STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE or QUIT keyword commands, such as the use of different spellings or the addition of other words or phrases to the command, and agree that that we and our service providers will have no liability for failing to honor such requests. You also understand and agree that any other method of opting out, including, but not limited to, texting words other than those keyword commands set forth above or verbally requesting one of our employees to remove you from our list, is not a reasonable means of opting out. To the extent you subscribe to more than one Message Service program that we operate, you must unsubscribe from each program separately. For Message Service support or assistance, text the HELP keyword in response to any message you receive through the Message Service or email us at support@tradeengage.com. Please note that the use of this email address is not an acceptable method of opting out of Message Service. Opt outs must be submitted in accordance with the procedures set forth above. We may change any short code or telephone number we use to operate the Message Service at any time with notice to you. You acknowledge that any messages, including any STOP or HELP requests, you send to a short code or telephone number we have changed may not be received and we are not responsible for honoring requests made in such messages. The Message Service may not be available in all areas or supported by all carriers or all devices. Check with your carrier for details. Delivery of mobile messages is subject to effective transmission from your wireless carrier/network operator and is outside of our control. We and the wireless carriers supported by the Message Service are not liable for any failed, delayed or undelivered messages. If you decide to change your mobile phone number, you agree to first opt out of each Message Service program in which your number is enrolled. For clarity, you acknowledge and agree that any disputes between you and us related to the Message Service will be governed by Section 18 (Arbitration Agreement). IF YOU ARE A SERVICE PROVIDER REGISTERING A CUSTOMER FOR THE MESSAGE SERVICE, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANTY THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE CUSTOMER’S CONSENT TO ENROLL THE CUSTOMER IN THE MESSAGE SERVICE.

You have the ability to disable the connection between your Account and your Third-Party Accounts at any time by accessing the “Settings” page of your Account.

TradeEngage does not approve, endorse or make any representations or warranties with respect to User Content. You use all User Content and interact with other Users at your own risk.
    3. Subverting the Service. It is a material breach of this User Agreement to cross-promote Jobs to, or to make Cross-Promotion Payments (as defined in Section 10.2 below) to, Service Providers outside the context of the Service for the purposes of circumventing the obligation to pay TradeEngage’s fee for Cross-Promotions or services purchased through the Service.
  3. FEES AND PAYMENT POLICY.
    1. Payments for Services. The fees that TradeEngage charges for using the Service are listed on our Platform Fees page, which is accessible at https://app.tradeengage.com/company/payments  (“Fee(s)”). We may change our Fees from time to time by posting the changes on the Service. The new Fee(s) will apply to purchases on the Service after the changes are posted to the Service. All payments made by Users to TradeEngage through the Service are processed by TradeEngage and its third-party payment services providers (“Payment Processors”). TradeEngage currently uses Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates as its Payment Processor for payment services (e.g., card acceptance, merchant settlement, and related services). TradeEngage may replace any of its Payment Processors without notice to you. By making use of some or all of the payment services on the Service, you agree to be bound by TradeEngage’s policies and the Payment Processor’s policies, user agreements, terms and conditions. Stripe’s terms and conditions are available at https://stripe.com/ssa, and its Privacy Policy is available at https://stripe.com/us/privacy.You hereby consent and authorize TradeEngage to share any information and payment instructions provided to TradeEngage with the applicable Payment Processor(s) to the extent required to provide the payment services to or from you and complete the applicable transactions. 
    2. Subscriptions. Parts of the Service offered may be provided to certain Users on a time-limited basis (a “Subscription”). The Fee for such Subscription (“Service Subscription Fee”) will be billed at the start of the Subscription (“Subscription Service Commencement Date”) and at regular intervals in accordance with your elections at the time of purchase. TradeEngage reserves the right to change the timing of our billing. TradeEngage reserves the right to change the Subscription pricing at any time in accordance with Section 19.88 (User Agreement Updates). If changes to the Subscription price occur that impact your Subscription, TradeEngage will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you, such as by sending an email to the email address associated with your Account. If you do not agree with such changes, you may cancel your Subscription as set forth in Section 9.2(a)(i) (Cancelling Subscriptions Purchased via TradeEngage). TradeEngage is not obligated to provide the Subscription service to you until TradeEngage accepts your order by a confirmatory email, SMS/MMS message, or other appropriate means of communication.
      1. Automatic Renewal. IF YOU ELECT TO PURCHASE A SUBSCRIPTION, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL CONTINUE AND AUTOMATICALLY RENEW ON THE COMMENCEMENT OF EACH APPLICABLE RENEWAL TERM(S) (EACH, A “RENEWAL COMMENCEMENT DATE”) AT TRADEENGAGE’S THEN-CURRENT PRICE FOR SUCH SUBSCRIPTION UNTIL TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS USER AGREEMENT. The frequency at which your Subscription renews (i.e., weekly, monthly, annually, etc.) and will be designated at the time that you sign up for the Subscription. Upon renewal of your Subscription, if TradeEngage does not receive payment, (i) you shall pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand; and/or (ii) you agree that TradeEngage may either terminate or suspend your Subscription without notice and continue to attempt to charge your designated payment method until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new Subscription Service Commencement Date will begin as of the day payment was received). 
        1. Cancelling Subscriptions Purchased via TradeEngage. If you do not wish your Account to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your Subscription, you must contact TradeEngage at support@tradeengage.com or log in and go to the “Change/Cancel Membership” page on your “Account Settings” page. Certain Subscriptions are offered as a twelve (12)‑month commitment that may be billed in monthly installments (an “Annual Plan”). By selecting an Annual Plan, you agree to a fixed, non‑cancelable commitment to pay the Annual Subscription Fee for the entire twelve (12)‑month term (the “Annual Term”), regardless of your payment schedule. For clarity, monthly billing is a payment option only; it does not make the Annual Plan a month‑to‑month agreement. You may cancel an Annual Plan at any time, but cancellation before the end of the Annual Term does not relieve you of your obligation to pay the full Annual Subscription Fee. Upon such cancellation (or any suspension or termination by TradeEngage for non‑payment or breach), the unpaid balance of the Annual Subscription Fee for the remainder of the Annual Term will become immediately due and payable (the “Accelerated Balance”). You authorize TradeEngage (or its Payment Processor) to store your payment method(s) on file and to automatically charge (i) each monthly installment when due, and (ii) the Accelerated Balance (together with any other amounts then due) to any payment method associated with your Account, including any card or account updated or replaced by your issuer or the card networks. You agree to maintain at least one valid payment method on file until all amounts owed under the Annual Plan are paid in full, and you consent to our making multiple charge attempts and in varying amounts up to the total due.
        2. Effect of Cancellation Annual Plans are non‑cancelable and non‑refundable. If you cancel your Subscription, you may use your Subscription until the end of your then-current Subscription term; your Subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the Service Subscription Fee paid for the then-current Subscription period. If you purchased an Annual Plan billed monthly, cancellation before the end of the Annual Term does not relieve you of the obligation to pay the Annual Subscription Fee for the remainder of the Annual Term; the remaining balance will be accelerated and charged to your payment method on file as described in Section 9.
      2. Upgrades and Downgrades. If you choose to upgrade your Subscription in the middle of a Subscription period, such upgrade will take effect immediately and any incremental fees associated with such upgrade will be charged in accordance with this User Agreement. In any future Renewal Term, the Fees will reflect any such upgrades. If you choose to downgrade a Subscription, the downgrade will take effect as of the first day of the next Renewal Term. Downgrading a Subscription may cause loss of content, features, or capacity of the Service as available, and TradeEngage does not accept any liability for such loss.
  1. Refunds. TradeEngage has no obligation to provide refunds or credits, but may grant them in extenuating circumstances, as a result of specific refund guarantee promotions, or to correct any errors made by TradeEngage, in each case at TradeEngage's sole discretion. Annual Plans are non‑cancelable and non‑refundable, except as expressly stated in this User Agreement. You waive any right of set‑off or deduction with respect to fees owed under an Annual Plan.
  2. Taxes. The Fees do not include any Sales Tax (defined below) that may be due in connection with the Service provided under this User Agreement. If TradeEngage determines it has a legal obligation to collect Sales Tax from you in connection with this User Agreement, TradeEngage shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the Fees. If any services or products, or payments for any services or products, under this User Agreement, are subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to TradeEngage, you shall be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you shall indemnify TradeEngage for any liability or expense TradeEngage may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon TradeEngage’s request, you will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” means any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.
  3. Withholding Taxes. You shall make all payments of Fees to TradeEngage free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. Any such taxes imposed on payments of Fees to TradeEngage shall be your sole responsibility, and you shall provide TradeEngage with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as we may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.
  1. CROSS-PROMOTION ON MARKETPLACE; CROSS-PROMOTION PAYMENTS.
    1. Cross-Promotion Process. Through the Service, Service Providers may make available cross-promotions of Jobs or Customers to other Service Providers (each a “Cross-Promotion”), which sometimes may result in a cross-promotion payment (“Cross-Promotion Payment”). In order for a Service Provider (“Promoting Provider”) to cross-promote a Job or Customer to any other Service Provider (“Receiving Provider”), the Promoting Provider and the Receiving Provider have agreed through the Service to receive Cross-Promotions from each other through the Service, including the following minimum terms: (1) the types of Jobs or locations of Customers that the Receiving Provider is willing to receive Cross-Promotions and (2) the Cross-Promotion Payment that shall be payable upon a successful Cross-Promotion.
    2. Cross-Promotion Payments. Cross-Promotion Payments are payable directly by the Receiving Provider to the Promoting Provider and its Authorized Users, and shall be paid through the Service in accordance with TradeEngage’s Cross-Promotion Payments Policy, which is accessible at www.tradeengage.com which TradeEngage may update at any time (such payments, “Cross-Promotion Payments”). All Cross-Promotion Payments must be made through the Service. As a Promoting Provider, you agree to be bound by the Payment Processor’s policies, user agreements, terms and conditions as set forth above in Section 9.1, and further agree to the Stripe Connect terms available at https://stripe.com/legal/connect. TradeEngage deducts a processing fee from the Cross-Promotion Payment paid by the Receiving Provider to the Promoting Provider. You understand and agree that TradeEngage itself does not process the transmission of funds and thus it is not a separate and discrete service that TradeEngage provides in addition to the Service. We may change our processing fees from time to time by posting the changes on the Service. TradeEngage or its Payment Processor will charge the authorized payment method the Receiving Provider specifies at the time of establishing an Account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information in order for TradeEngage or Payment Processor to receive, process, and disburse payments made through the Service. 
    3. Additional Onboarding Information. TradeEngage reserves the right, but has no obligation, to request additional information from Users to verify your identity in order to comply with laws and regulations governing payments, safeguard the integrity of the Service, and reduce the risk of fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, and the violation of trade sanctions. Information that TradeEngage may request, or seek to confirm, may include your full legal name, mailing address, phone number, date of birth, and a form of government-issued identification. 
    4. Appointment of TradeEngage as Limited Payments Agent. To the extent applicable, Promoting Provider hereby appoints TradeEngage as its limited payments agent for the sole purpose of receiving, holding, and settling Cross-Promotion Payments to Promoting Provider. TradeEngage, through its Payment Processor, will facilitate settlement of payments that are actually or constructively received by TradeEngage to the Promoting Provider, less any amounts owed to TradeEngage, including fees and other obligations, as set forth in this User Agreement. Promoting Provider agrees that a payment actually or constructively received by TradeEngage, on behalf of Promoting Provider, satisfies the Receiving Provider’s obligation to make payment to Promoting Provider for the Cross-Promotion Payment, regardless of whether TradeEngage or the Payment Processor actually settles such payment to Promoting Provider. If TradeEngage does not settle any such payments as described in this User Agreement to Promoting Provider, Promoting Provider will have recourse only against TradeEngage (or the Payment Processor, as applicable) and not the Receiving Provider, as payment is deemed made by the Receiving Provider to the Promoting Provider upon constructive or actual receipt of funds by TradeEngage. In accepting this appointment as the limited payments agent of Promoting Provider, Promoting Provider agrees that TradeEngage assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of Promoting Provider, and Promoting Provider understands that the obligation of TradeEngage or its Payment Processor to settle funds to Promoting Provider is subject to and conditional upon the Receiving Provider’s actual payment and the terms of this User Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.4 shall be construed to modify the limitations on the role of TradeEngage as described in Section 1. 
    5. Disbursement to Promoting Provider. TradeEngage or Payment Processor will disburse funds through the Payment Processor to Promoting Provider to the financial account based on the payout information designated by the Promoting Provider in its Account. If payment is made to Promoting Provider in error, or if Promoting Provider receives funds that Promoting Provider is not otherwise entitled to receive at the time of disbursement, TradeEngage has the right to recoup such amounts from the Promoting Provider, including without limitation by initiating a debit or charge to any account provided by Promoting Provider in connection with the Service. TradeEngage may also offset against funds pending settlement to Promoting Provider any sums due, or reasonably likely to become due, to TradeEngage pursuant to this User Agreement. In some cases, settlement of the Cross-Promotion Payment funds could be temporarily delayed by an issue at TradeEngage, the Payment Processor, or Promoting Provider’s designated financial institution. TradeEngage is not obligated to refund any Fees or reimburse any expenses due to delayed settlements. In addition, Promoting Provider’s designated financial institution’s settlement and account crediting procedures may at times cause delays in the crediting of funds to Promoting Provider’s linked bank account and TradeEngage does not have control over these delays.
  2. INDEMNIFICATION. You shall indemnify and hold TradeEngage, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, and licensors (each, a “TradeEngage Party” and collectively, the “TradeEngage Parties”) harmless from any losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of any and all of the following: (a) Your Content; (b) your use of, or inability to use, the Service; (c) your violation of this User Agreement, including any representations or warranties you made herein; (d) your violation of any rights of another party, including any User; or (e) your violation of any applicable laws, rules, or regulations. TradeEngage reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with TradeEngage in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to indemnify any of the TradeEngage Parties for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, or suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Service provided hereunder. You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your Account, this User Agreement and/or your access to the Service. 
  3. RELEASE. TradeEngage expressly disclaims any liability that may arise between Users of its Service. The Service is only a venue for connecting Users, and because TradeEngage is not a party to the actual transactions between Users, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more Users, you release the TradeEngage Parties, except to the extent any such TradeEngage Party is a User, from any and all claims, demands, or damages (actual or consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. 

If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, “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.” The foregoing release does not apply to any claims, demands, or any losses, damages, rights and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death or property damage for any unconscionable commercial practice by a TradeEngage Party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Service provided hereunder.

TRADEENGAGE MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE QUALITY OF ANY SUCH SERVICES OR JOBS, OR THE ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, TRUTHFULNESS, COMPLETENESS OR RELIABILITY OF ANY USER CONTENT OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICE.
    2. WE ARE NOT INVOLVED IN THE ACTUAL TRANSACTION BETWEEN CUSTOMERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. WE ARE NOT A PARTY TO ANY AGREEMENT BETWEEN PROMOTING PROVIDERS AND RECEIVING PROVIDERS. WHILE WE MAY IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION HELP FACILITATE THE RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES THROUGH VARIOUS PROGRAMS, WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER AND DO NOT GUARANTEE THE QUALITY, SAFETY OR LEGALITY OF SERVICES ADVERTISED OR CROSS-PROMOTED, THE TRUTH OR ACCURACY OF USERS’ CONTENT OR LISTINGS, THE ABILITY OF SERVICE PROVIDERS TO PROVIDE SERVICES, THE ABILITY OF CUSTOMERS OR SERVICE PROVIDERS TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES OR Cross-Promotions, OR THAT CUSTOMER OR SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL ACTUALLY COMPLETE A TRANSACTION OR JOB.
    3. AS A PART OF THE SERVICE, YOU MAY HAVE ACCESS TO MATERIALS THAT ARE HOSTED BY ANOTHER PARTY. YOU AGREE THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR TRADEENGAGE TO MONITOR SUCH MATERIALS AND THAT YOU ACCESS THESE MATERIALS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

  3. TERM AND TERMINATION.
    1. Term. The term of this User Agreement commences on the date when you accept this User Agreement (as described in the preamble above) and continues in full force and effect while you use the Service, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this User Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you hereby acknowledge and agree that the User Agreement commenced on the earlier to occur of (a) the date you first used or accessed the Service, or (b) the date you accepted the User Agreement, and that the User Agreement will remain in full force and effect while you use the Service, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the User Agreement. 
    2. Termination of Service by TradeEngage. If you have materially breached any provision of this User Agreement, or if TradeEngage is required to do so by law (e.g., where the provision of the Service is, or becomes, unlawful), TradeEngage has the right to, immediately and without notice, suspend or terminate any Service provided to you. TradeEngage reserves the right to terminate this User Agreement or your access to the Service at any time without cause upon notice to you. In the event we exercise this termination right, we will refund you for any pre-paid portion of your unused Subscription. You agree that all terminations for cause are made in TradeEngage’s sole discretion and that TradeEngage shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your Account. If you use the Service in connection with or subject to your relationship with an Enterprise or Service Provider, then upon termination or expiration of the Enterprise Agreement with such Enterprise, TradeEngage has the right to terminate your access and use of the Service. 
    3. Termination by You. If you want to terminate this User Agreement, you may do so by (a) closing your Account for the Service; and (b) ceasing use of the Service. If you are on an Annual Plan billed monthly and you terminate before the end of the Annual Term, you remain responsible for the Annual Subscription Fee for the entire Annual Term and authorize TradeEngage (or its Payment Processor) to charge your payment method on file for any unpaid amounts, including the Accelerated Balance. ANY SUCH TERMINATION WILL BE EFFECTIVE AT THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT TERM OF ANY AND ALL OF THE SUBSCRIPTIONS AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.2(a) (AUTOMATIC RENEWAL), WHICH WILL CONTINUE AT THE END OF EACH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCEDURE SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.2(a) (AUTOMATIC RENEWAL). 
    4. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of the Service or the applicable feature or functionality thereof, your right to use the Service or the applicable feature or functionality thereof will automatically terminate, and we may delete Your Content associated therewith from our live databases. If we terminate your Account for cause, we may also bar your further use or access to the Service. TradeEngage will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination, including for deletion of Your Content. All provisions of this User Agreement which by their nature should survive, will survive termination of Service, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, dispute resolution mechanisms, indemnification and limitations of liability. If you purchased an Annual Plan billed monthly, cancellation before the end of the Annual Term does not relieve you of the obligation to pay the Annual Subscription Fee for the remainder of the Annual Term; the remaining balance will be accelerated and charged to your payment method on file as described in Section 9.
    5. No Subsequent Registration. If this User Agreement is terminated for cause by TradeEngage or if your Account or ability to access the Service is discontinued by TradeEngage due to your violation of any portion of this User Agreement or for conduct otherwise deemed inappropriate, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access the Service through use of a different member name or otherwise.
  4. US-BASED USERS ONLY. The Service may be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to parts of the Service that are not available in your country. These references do not imply that TradeEngage intends to announce such Service in your country. The Service is controlled and offered by TradeEngage from its facilities in the United States of America. TradeEngage makes no representations that the Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Service from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.
  5. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. 
    1. Arbitration of Disputes. Subject to the terms of this agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”), you and TradeEngage agree that all disputes or claims between you and TradeEngage that arise out of or relate in any way to your use of or access to the Service or the Website, or to this User Agreement, including prior versions of this User Agreement, (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration. By entering into this Arbitration Agreement, ALL PARTIES ARE WAIVING THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted and includes, for example, Disputes brought under any legal theory or that arose before you first accepted any version of this User Agreement containing an arbitration provision. This Arbitration Agreement does not preclude any party from (1) bringing claims in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; or (2) seeking equitable relief in a court of appropriate jurisdiction for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).
    2. Informal Dispute Resolution. Before initiating any proceeding according to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, as a condition precedent to doing so, you and TradeEngage agree to try to first resolve Disputes informally by contacting the other party in writing (the “Notice of Dispute”). If the Dispute is not resolved within 45 days after submission of the Notice of Dispute, you or TradeEngage may commence arbitration or, in the limited circumstances described in this subsection above, an alternative legal proceeding. Any applicable statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in this informal Dispute resolution process. You and TradeEngage agree that any Dispute subject to arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement not resolved informally must be filed in arbitration within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
    3. No Role in Disputes Between Users or With Third Parties. Except where TradeEngage is expressly named as a party to a Dispute, TradeEngage is not a party to—and will have no responsibility, obligation, or role of any kind in—any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and any other user or third party. TradeEngage does not and will not act as an arbitrator, mediator, judge, or representative for any party in such disputes, will not provide dispute-resolution services for such disputes, and has no obligation to assist in their resolution, enforcement, or settlement, except to the limited extent required by applicable law. Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement or elsewhere in this User Agreement imposes on TradeEngage any duty to become involved in disputes in which it is not a party.
    4. Arbitration Procedures. The interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings initiated hereunder shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. The National Arbitration & Mediation (“NAM”) will administer the arbitration in accordance with the NAM Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedure (the “NAM Rules”) in effect at the time of arbitration, except as supplemented, where applicable, by the NAM Supplemental Rules for Mass Arbitration Filings (the “NAM Mass Filing Rules”) (both sets of rules are currently available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/), and as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues related to the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and the arbitrability of Disputes, except that only a court of competent jurisdiction may decide issues concerning the validity, enforceability, interpretation, and breach of subsection 18.6 below. The arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside or Miami, Florida, unless the parties agree to another location, or the Batch Arbitration process is triggered per subsection 18.7 below. The arbitrator shall issue a final, binding written award, which may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. 
    5. Confidentiality. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration will be kept confidential. 
    6. Arbitration Fees. The NAM Rules shall govern the payment of arbitration fees. The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the arbitrator finds that the Dispute was frivolous and/or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). 
    7. No Class or Representative Actions. You and TradeEngage agree that, by entering into this Arbitration Agreement, all parties MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, determines that this Arbitration Agreement is invalid or unenforceable as to any particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and TradeEngage agree that only that particular claim or request for relief shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware. 
    8. Batch Arbitration. Notwithstanding subsection 18.6 above, to increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and TradeEngage agree that, in the event there are ten (10) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature (i.e., Requests that arise out of or relate to the same or similar facts and raise the same or similar legal issues and requests for relief) filed against TradeEngage by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a ninety (90) day period, NAM shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (or, if between ten (10) and ninety-nine (99) individual Requests are filed, a single batch of all those Requests, and, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests remaining after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”). If there is any dispute about the applicability of these Batch Arbitration procedures, NAM shall appoint a single administrative arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by TradeEngage.
    9. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement.

By rejecting a future change, you remain bound to arbitrate any Dispute in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, as modified by any changes to the Arbitration Agreement you did not reject. TradeEngage will continue to honor any valid opt outs to the Arbitration Agreement, and you do not need to submit a rejection of future changes to this Arbitration Agreement if you properly opted out per the requirements in subsection 18.6 above.
