In order to remain current in its Service offerings, Company may make minor modifications from time to time to the Services.  If Company discontinues any Service in its entirety, Client may, at its option, receive a substitute Service, or obtain a pro rata refund of the prepaid fees for the discontinued Service.
  • Membership Types. A Member cannot register as both a Client and a Supplier or create separate tealbook® accounts as a Client and a Supplier, without Company’s written preapproval. Each Order Form shall specify the Service(s) purchased by Client (as detailed in the corresponding Service Description) and state the number of licensed Users permitted with each Service. If there is no User limit stated in an Order Form, then the license is an enterprise license, and User access will be administered by Client, who remains responsible for authorized User access and use of the Services.
  • Licensed Users. Client must designate named individuals for User access to the Services through the Site. User ID’s and passwords are for individual use only, and each User is required to create an account. Users are solely responsible for securing their login and password, which may not be shared with others. User registration is the responsibility of the Client’s administrator, and Client agrees to immediately notify Company of any actual or suspected unauthorized use.
  • Business Purpose. Client is responsible for any loss resulting from any unauthorized access or use for Users. The Site is for legitimate and legal business purposes as a platform for connecting Suppliers and Clients and for activities related thereto. This Site is not a personal, public, social networking website, or similar platform and is not intended for such personal, non-business use, and Client agrees that it shall not provide personal, non-business information to the Site.

To register for a Supplier account, you must represent a business entity in good standing, possessing all licenses, permits, registrations, certifications, rights, insurances, etc., legally required for you to offer and sell your goods and/or services, and you agree to maintain same for so long as you are a Supplier. You must also ensure that all Supplier Users are individuals at least 18 years of age and employed by, or acting under, your authority as a business entity. Each Supplier is responsible for ensuring that any Supplier User who is no longer eligible to have access to its Supplier account (e.g., because he or she no longer works for, or is authorized by the Supplier) is denied such access, by having the Supplier’s user administrator delete that person’s account or otherwise change administrative settings within the Supplier account. The first person to register a Supplier account will be designated as the Supplier’s user administrator, and that person may thereafter assign that role to another Supplier User. 

To register for a Client account, you must represent a business entity in good standing, possessing all licenses, permits, registrations, certifications, rights, insurances, etc., legally required for you to purchase goods and/or services from Suppliers, and you agree to maintain same for so long as you are a Member. You must also ensure that all Client Users are individuals at least 18 years of age and employed by, or acting under, your authority as a business entity. Each Client is responsible for ensuring that any Client User who is no longer eligible to have access to its Client account (e.g., because he or she no longer works for or is authorized by you) is denied such access, by having your user administrator delete that person’s account or otherwise change administrative settings within your account. The first person to register a Client account will be designated as the user administrator, and that person may thereafter assign that role to another Client User. 

Account registration requires you to provide certain information. It is a condition of your use of this Site and the Services that all the information you provide as part of registration and otherwise in connection with your tealbook account will be correct, current, and complete to the best of your knowledge. If we believe the information you provide is not correct, current, or complete, we have the right to refuse you access to this Site or any of its resources, to correct or remove your information, to suspend your access to the Services or registration as a Client (or Supplier) at any time until such information is corrected.

For example, you may not and may not authorize any other party to: (i) co-brand this Site, or (ii) frame this Site, or (iii) hyper-link to this Site, without the express prior written permission of an authorized representative of us. For purposes of these Terms of Service, ‘‘cobranding’’ means to display a name, logo, trade-mark, or other means of attribution or identification of us by another party in such a manner as is reasonably likely to give the impression that we are engaged in a cooperative commercial relationship, such as a joint venture, joint ownership, joint marketing, or sponsorship relationship with a third-party. 

4. CONFIDENTIALITY.

“Confidential Information” shall mean information relating to the processes, data, research, business, clients, customers and business practices of the party sharing the Confidential Information (the “Disclosing Party”) and shall include but not limited to advertising, marketing, operational, scientific, commercial, administrative, financial, business, technical, employees data or intellectual property nature or otherwise, whether disclosed in oral or written, relating to either party and any other information that is reasonably determined to be proprietary or confidential in nature. Confidential Information specifically excludes all Content, except for Spend Data (as defined below). 

The party receiving the Confidential Information, (the “Receiving Party”) agrees: (i) to maintain the 

Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in confidence; (ii) not to use any such Confidential Information for any other purpose except as agreed in these Terms of Service; and (iii) not to disclose such Confidential Information to any third parties.  Each Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party only to its employees, on a need-to-know basis who have a bona fide reason to know such Confidential Information and such employee shall be bound by the similar obligations of confidentiality which are not less stringent than those mentioned in these Terms of Service. The disclosure of such Confidential Information to any other third party shall be only with the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party. 

However, a Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information only to the extent required by any law or regulation; provided that the Party required to make such a disclosure uses efforts to give the other Party reasonable advance notice of such required disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, in order to enable the other Party to prevent or limit such disclosure. 

All Confidential Information remains the sole and exclusive property of the Disclosing Party.  Each Party acknowledges and agrees that except as expressly set out in these Terms of Service, no rights are otherwise granted to the Receiving Party, by way of license or otherwise, in or to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, or proprietary rights or any patent, trademarks, copyright or other intellectual property of the Disclosing Party, except as specified in these Terms of Service. Confidential Information will not include information which: 

  1. is now or thereafter becomes generally known or available to the public, through no default act or omission by the Receiving Party; or 
  2. was known to the Receiving Party prior to receiving such information from the Disclosing Party and without restriction as to use or disclosure; or 
  3. is rightfully acquired by the Receiving Party from any third party who has the right to disclose it and who provides it without restriction as to use or disclosure; or  
  4. is independently developed by or for the Receiving Party without any access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party 

Upon termination or expiration of an Order Form, or upon the Disclosing Party’s written request, the Receiving Party will promptly return or certify destruction thereof to the Disclosing Party all tangible items and embodiments containing or consisting of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and all copies

thereof (including electronic copies). However, a Party may retain a copy of Confidential Information as per applicable law to the extent required for maintaining of proper professional records. Such retained documentation will continue to be bound by the confidentiality obligations contained herein.

Use of the Services beyond the scope of authorized access hereunder immediately terminates this license. This limited license does not permit de-compilation or disassembly, reverse engineering or any attempts to discover source code(s) contained in the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, Client agrees not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit for any commercial purposes, any aspect of the Services. At the end of any term for Services (for any reason) listed in an Order Form, Client hereby agrees to delete such Services from all systems, including those of its Users.

Unless otherwise provided in a Service Description, Users may share, receive, or encounter information about global suppliers that is generally publicly accessible or available without restriction from third parties (collectively “Content”). All Content is subject to the Content Restrictions in the Terms of Service. As between each User, other Members, and the Company, each retains all of its rights, title, and interest in and to its own Content; use of the Services shall not be construed as a transfer of rights from one party to another in, or to its Content. Except for Client’s internal business purposes, any Content that Client receives or encounters through authorized use of the Services may not be copied, distributed, republished, uploaded, posted, used, or transmitted in any other way without the prior written consent of the Content owner. Except as expressly permitted herein, use of Content of another Member, User, or the Company is restricted. Some Content provided by Users may include information about identifiable individuals and may be considered Personal Information, which is subject to our Privacy Statement.
