4. DRINKS LISTING AGREEMENTS

You warrant and represent that you have the legal right and authority to enter into Drinks Listing Agreements and to purchase the drinks or any other goods on the EzTenda Platform, and you will use all reasonable endeavours to fulfil your obligations under any Drinks Listing Agreement.

When you accept a bid via the EzTenda Platform, you must not:

  • have an existing Drinks Listing Agreement in place that would invalidate the accepted bid or any of its requirements, unless to legitimately procure additional goods;

  • seek to obtain fraudulent or illegally acquired goods;

  • seek to obtain any counterfeit goods or goods that infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights;

  • manipulate or influence the price of goods offered to you or another member of the EzTenda community; or

  • interfere with other venues’ activities on the EzTenda Platform, or bids by Brands on the EzTenda Platform.

You may amend or cancel a tender for a Drinks Listing Agreement, and you are not compelled to complete a Drinks Listing Agreement with a Brand.

When you create a tender for a Drinks Listing Agreement, you may make use of a feature on the EzTenda Platform to set pre-conditions or special terms that apply to that tender for a Drinks Listing Agreement (in addition to the drinks requirements), such as certain criteria a Brand must meet. You promise to use this feature in a way that is fair and non-discriminatory.

You acknowledge that your tender for a Drinks Listing Agreement may appear in some search results in different orders and that the sort order is not determined by you. The factors that may influence the sort order of your listing include, but are not limited to: your and/or the Brand’s location; the quantity and value of your listing/s; end date and/or time of the listing; browsing site history; your ratings; compliance with our policies, including these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy.


5. FEES AND PAYMENT

EzTenda Connect is free provided (a) you choose at least one winner per tender, or (b) if you do not choose a winner on a tender then you rate all the bids and close the tender within 7 days of the tender end date, or (c) you do not agree a listing agreement with a Brand who uses EzTenda outside of EzTenda for that product category and listing type as tendered for the period starting from the start of a tender until 1 month after the stared listing period start date. If your actions do not all within (a), (b) or (c), then we reserve the right to charge you £250 per tender as a hosting charge.

Eztenda Match is free to use by you.

Certain aspects of the EzTenda Platform may incur a fee. If you elect to use paid aspects of the EzTenda Platform, you agree to the pricing and payment listed by EzTenda, which we may update from time to time. We may add new services or features, or amend the Fees or charges for existing services, at any time at our sole discretion.

When you enter into a Drinks Listing Agreement (i.e. you procure drinks or other goods from a Brand directly or their wholesalers on the EzTenda Platform), you enter into a separate contract and/or arrangements for sale between you and the Brand or their wholesalers. EzTenda is not a party to that transaction and is not involved in any transaction between you and a Brand. Any contract for the sale of goods is directly between you and the Brand or their wholesalers.

A Brand may apply its standard contract for sale or other terms and conditions that it wishes to apply to a transaction by notifying this to you in writing to the Venue along with your tender (including by uploading a copy with its bid on the EzTenda Platform). By selecting a bid as a winning bid, you agree that those terms will apply to your transaction with the winning Brand and/or their wholesalers.
