Thanks for using the Grovara "B2B Global Marketplace" (including its website, and mobile and web-based applications, and any other tools, products, or services provided by Grovara Inc. that link to or reference these Terms) (collectively, the "Services"). The Services are provided by Grovara Inc. ("Grovara", "we," "our," or "us"), we can be contacted at 100 South Juniper, 3rd Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19107, USA.
By using our Services, you are agreeing to these Brand Terms of Service (together with any supplements, these "Terms"). Please read them carefully. Our Services are very diverse, so sometimes additional terms or product requirements (including age requirements) may apply. If additional terms or conditions are available with or applicable to the relevant Services, then those additional terms become part of your agreement with us if you use those Services. By accepting these terms, you acknowledge you have the authority to sign on your company's behalf and agree to the terms set forth in these Terms. You may wish to print or save a local copy of the Terms for your records.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE LIMIT OUR LIABILITY AND THAT YOU ARE RELEASING US FROM VARIOUS CLAIMS IN SECTION 18-19 BELOW. THESE TERMS ALSO CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION IN SECTION 23 THAT AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THESE TERMS WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES.
"Buyer" means a retailer or other buying partner with an account for placing orders on our Services. "Brand" means anyone manufacturing products ("Products") available for sale on our Services. If you are accessing the services on behalf of a Brand, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to agree to these Terms on its behalf. "You" or "Your" means you, together with the Brand you are acting on behalf of.
During the Term, You agree to use Grovara's B2B Global Marketplace as an online international businessto-business global marketplace for sale of Your Products. The period of these Terms shall begin on the date these Terms are executed or accepted by You and shall continue for one (1) year.
Your Terms will automatically renew for successive one year terms if neither party provides written notice to the other party at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of then then-current term. If for whatever reason you wish to remove your brand from our marketplace, you will need to provide written notice to the Brand Manager or VP of Brand Management & Operations with sixty (60) days. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to promptly remove your brand and Products from our marketplace.
Payment for Grovara's services and use of the marketplace is covered by the mark-up added to the "ExWorks" pricing provided by you and/or domestic delivered pricing (ie: port, consolidator etc.) when agreed upon. All labeling, logistics, tariffs, duties, taxes, customs and other fees will be the responsibility of the Buyer except for US export documents which will be supplied by You (see Section 5). The date of shipment shall be the date Products are picked up from Your facilities, as documented by a signed "Bill of Lading of Packing List."
In order to facilitate purchases from international Buyers, Grovara is your customer of record for purchases under these Terms. For the purpose of ensuring the timely flow of payments to Brands and Products to Buyers, Grovara requests that payments for all purchases under these Terms be due 30 days after the purchase ships or on another mutually agreeable due date. Grovara will pay You the purchase amount in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer in accordance with these Terms.
Pricing received by Grovara from You will be in effect from the date this document is executed and may be updated from time to time as further provided in this paragraph. Grovara will require a sixty (60) day written notification for all price changes. If a sixty (60) day notification is not possible, You agree to honor any pricing that was provided to a Buyer sixty (60) days before the price increase goes into effect.
Documentation is required for exporting, and it can vary from country to country. Documents like a Certificate of Free Sale (CFS), Certificate of Free Sale Apostilled, Certificate of Analysis (COA), etc. will carry a cost to have produced. The price may vary per document and per state of manufacturing, but it is your responsibility to provide these to the Buyers to complete their import registration. Grovara is happy to guide and assist you with procuring this documentation, but all fees associated with these documents will be covered by you.
Similarly to domestic sales, samples are a part of the selling process internationally. Buyers will request units and/or cases of products to be sent to their respective country for import registration or category reviews. It is the responsibility of the Brand to provide those items to the Buyers and ship samples internationally. The cost can vary per product (ie: ambient, frozen, chilled etc.) but it is a necessity for importation and is consideration for a sale. All Buyers are vetted in order to attempt to provide viable leads with favorable outcomes. The Grovara team will also provide You with available information on the Buyer, opportunity and market.
Grovara is happy to assist You with Your documentation and requirements for shipping samples to the applicable destination country, but You are responsible for the shipping costs and Grovara shall have no liability whatsoever in connection with Your documentation or shipping. As the Brand, You are not obligated to send samples, as You are able to decline any invitation to do so. However, this could limit broad reach of products into international markets.
You agree the Products prepared for shipment are in strict compliance with these Terms and the purchase terms between You and the buyer (the "Purchase Order"). Title and risk of loss will pass in accordance with the Incoterms applicable to the Purchase Order. You agree to comply with all policies and requirements of Grovara of which we have provided You notice prior to acceptance of the relevant Purchase Order, including policies relating to purchase orders, deliveries, invoices, bills of lading and pallet requirements. You agree to promptly notify the buyer or Grovara of any Product shortages, decreased availability or "out of stocks" impacting delivery under any Purchase Order, through the Services or by other industry-standard notification procedures. Your failure to adequately notify Grovara in accordance with industry-standard notification practices, may result in damages to Grovara that will be your responsibility.
You are solely responsible for all sales, use or other similar taxes levied by any governmental authority with respect to amounts payable to Grovara by You under these Terms, except for any taxes based upon Grovara's net income or unless You provide in writing documentation of an applicable exemption.
You must follow any policies made available to You within the Services.

("Apple"). The mobile app downloaded from Apple may only be used on Apple hardware products. Grovara, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and the content thereof. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the app. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be Grovara's sole responsibility. Grovara, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by You or any third party relating to the app or Your possession and/or use of the app, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. In the event of any third-party claim that the app or Your possession and use of the app infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Apple will have no responsibility for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim. You represent and warrant that (i) You are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) You are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of this agreement, and upon Your acceptance of the terms and conditions of the agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce the agreement against You as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
Without limiting Your waiver and release in Sections 18 and 19, You agree to the following:
Grovara has not been served by any governmental law enforcement or intelligence authority with any order to provide user information. To Grovara's knowledge, no searches or surveillance by a governmental law enforcement or intelligence authority have been performed on Grovara's systems.
During the term of the Agreement and thereafter, neither Brand nor any affiliated entity, directly or indirectly, may take any action that is intended, or would be reasonably be expected, to disparage or harm the reputation or business of Grovara or any of its affiliates, directors, officers, agents, or employees.
