20. DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION 

1. INTRODUCTION

These terms and conditions (we refer to them as the "Conditions") and the other documents that we refer to below and on The Hub together set out the legally binding agreement (we refer to this as the "Agreement") between you ("you"), when you sell goods, services or digital content via the Site, and Notonthehighstreet Enterprises Limited ("we", "us", “Not On The High Street”). 

It is important that you read and understand these Conditions before agreeing to them.

A. We may update the Agreement from time to time. We will notify you of any proposed changes via The Hub and/or by email. Except in the limited situations described in Clause 1.C. below, the proposed changes will not apply until at least 15 (fifteen) days from and including the date on which we notify you about them (and we will set out the date that the changes will apply from in the relevant notification). If a proposed change(s) means that you then need to make technical or commercial adjustments in order to comply with it, we will always give you a longer notice period before the change(s) apply. 

B. Whenever we notify you of a proposed change to the Agreement, you will have the right to terminate the Agreement before expiry of the applicable notice period. If you do wish to terminate and let us know during that period, termination will then take effect 15 (fifteen) days from your receipt of the notification. You may also choose to give up your right to terminate by either letting us know in writing, or by taking a clear affirmative action. For example, submitting new Products during the notice period will be considered by us as clear affirmative action that you wish to give up your termination right, except though where the notice period is longer because the changes to the Agreement require you to make significant technical or commercial adjustments. Please see Clause 2.D below for more information on the effects of termination.

C. The minimum 15 (fifteen) day notice period in Clause 1.A above will not apply though where:

    i. we are subject to a legal or regulatory obligation which requires us to change the Agreement in a way which does not allow us to give you that length of notice period; and

    ii. we need to change the Agreement to address an unforeseen and imminent danger that relates to defending the Service, the Site, Customers or Sellers from fraud, malware, spam, data breaches or other cybersecurity risks.

2. TERM AND TERMINATION

The Agreement will start after you have confirmed acceptance to these Conditions and all related Policies (including the Seller Privacy Policy) and continues until terminated in accordance with the Agreement (the “Term”)

A. Mutual right to terminate. We both have the right to terminate the Agreement by simply giving the other party at least 30 (thirty) days' written notice. 

B. Restriction, suspension or termination by us. 

We may restrict, suspend or terminate our provision of the Service (or any part of it), or terminate the Agreement if: 

i. you significantly breach the Agreement (including a significant breach of any of the Policies); 

ii. we have the right to as set out in the rest of the Agreement, and we validly exercise that right; 

iii. you fail to pay any Charges payable to us within 7 (seven) days of their due date for payment; 

iv. if you don’t have enough money to pay your debts when they fall due, or you enter into a legal process or an arrangement relating to being unable to pay your debts; 

v. in our sole discretion, we determine that your eligibility or suitability to be listed on the Site, or to receive the Service, changes. 

For further information on how we make decisions around breaches, suspending and terminating, please see our Restriction, Suspension and Termination Policy. 

C. Exercising our right to restrict, suspend or terminate. 

i. If we restrict or suspend our provision of the Service (or any part of it), we will provide you with a clear explanation of our reasons for doing so (including referencing any specific relevant facts and circumstances, along with the applicable grounds we're relying on to do so) by email on or before the date on which the restriction or suspension becomes effective, in order to give you the opportunity to clarify the facts and circumstances. 

ii. If we terminate the provision of the Service to you or the Agreement, we will provide you with a statement setting out our reasons for that decision (including referencing any specific relevant facts and circumstances, along with the applicable grounds we're relying on to do so) by email at least 30 (thirty) days' before termination takes effect, except where: 

a. we are obliged by a legal or regulatory obligation to terminate the provision of the Service or the Agreement; or 

b. you have repeatedly infringed your obligations under the Agreement, 

in which case we will provide you with reasonable notice in the circumstances (if we can) and the statement of reasons for that decision by email as soon as reasonably possible).

You may clarify the facts that led to any restriction, suspension or termination using our Complaints Handling Process. 

D. What happens when the Service or Agreement is suspended or terminated. If the Service or our Agreement is suspended or terminated: 

i. you must pay us all Charges due up to and including the date of suspension or termination; 

ii. you will remain liable to pay any outstanding refunds to Customers and associated Refund Fees (as detailed below) following suspension or termination; 

iii. we will not access copies of any information provided or generated by you following termination of the Agreement unless necessary. If you need access to information you have generated, you are responsible for keeping your own copies and we suggest that you should download such information during any notice period prior to suspension or termination. For information on how we handle your personal data, please see the Seller Privacy Policy; 

iv. where the Service is terminated, you will continue to have access to the CMS for 30 days in order to pay any outstanding Charges and download information in accordance with Clause 2.E.iii above; and 

v. termination of this Agreement doesn't affect any of our or your rights or liabilities, and doesn't affect any provision set out in the Agreement which is expressly or by implication intended to come into force or continue in force after termination. 

3. THE SERVICE PROVIDED BY US 

A. Following the start of the Term, we will: 

i. provide you with a URL to the CMS so that you can set up your Storefront and, once we've made the functions available to you, update the Storefront; 

ii. provide the Service with reasonable skill and care; and 

iii. use reasonable efforts to restore any faults in the Service as soon as reasonably possible. As you will appreciate, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure, there is always a risk that communications by electronic means may not reach their intended destination, or may do so much later than intended, for reasons outside of our control, and that it is technically impossible to provide the Service entirely free of fault at all times. 

B. We reserve the right to revise or alter the Service. Any variation in the Service will be subject to these Conditions. 

C. The Site provides a platform to allow you to offer and sell your Products directly to Customers. In doing so, you authorise and appoint us as your commercial agent to directly negotiate and/or conclude the sale and/or purchase of Products between you and Customers via our Service and we accept this appointment in accordance with these Conditions. As part of this process: 

i. any contract to sell and buy Products is made only between you and the Customer concerned and we are not a party to any such contract; 

ii. we facilitate the negotiation of the sale of Products between you and Customers through the use of the CMS and e-mail communication services operated and managed by us, together with our Service, which contribute to increasing your goodwill, promote your Products and generally encourage Customers to place orders with you; and 

iii. products offered for sale through the Site are neither owned by us nor come into our possession at any time. 

D. We use a third party service provider to provide Customer Feedback (the "Customer Feedback Agent”). By using the Site and the Service you agree that: 

i. we and/or the Customer Feedback Agent may, at our/their discretion, post on your relevant Product Page and on the Customer Feedback Agent's website any and all Customer Feedback relating to a transaction after we and/or the Customer Feedback Agent receives that Customer Feedback; 

ii. following the provision of any Customer Feedback, we will make the Customer Feedback available to you via the CMS. You may submit a response to any negative Customer Feedback via the facility provided by us on the CMS within 5 days of receipt of the negative Customer Feedback, and we and any Customer Feedback Agent will display your response to Customer Feedback with reasonable prominence and proximity to the corresponding Customer Feedback, which may be posted on the Product Page and on the Customer Feedback Agent's website after 5 days have passed following receipt of the negative Customer Feedback. You agree that you will not contact any Customer directly, whether via the CMS through an order or product enquiry or otherwise in response to any Customer Feedback. 

iii. You agree that you will ensure that your response to Customer Feedback is true and accurate and not misleading in any way, and does not contain any material that may be construed as offensive, defamatory or unlawful. 

iv. We may, in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of any Third Party, elect to amend, or not to post, your response to Customer Feedback that we and/or the Third Party consider, in our/their sole discretion, to be offensive, defamatory, unlawful or otherwise inappropriate. 

E. We may from time to time introduce you to third parties with whom special terms have been arranged unique to Sellers. Any contract entered into between you and any such third party is concluded directly between you and the third party concerned and, except as expressly set out in these Terms, we cannot be involved in the fulfilment or liability for any such contracts. We will let you know if we benefit from any special terms with such third parties. 

4. YOUR OBLIGATIONS – WHAT YOU PROMISE 

A. YOUR ACCOUNT 

i. You promise that: 

a. your business is incorporated and/or established (whether as a company, partnership, unincorporated association, or sole trader) in the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland; 

b. where your business is established as a limited or public limited company, you are listed as a director on Companies House and all other information held on Companies House reflects the information you provide to us (e.g. company registration number, director(s) name(s), trading address, company name); 

c. you are at least 18 years old; and

d. you have a trading (operating) address in the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland. 

ii. Once your Application Form has been approved by us, you promise to provide the following identification details and confirm that they are accurate:

c. telephone and email address of the main account holder and any additional users of the account. 

Please see our Seller Privacy Policy for more information on how we handle this information. 

iii. If you are VAT registered and have an alternative address registered to this, you agree to confirm what this address relates to and provide documentation showing this address. 

iv. If you want to change the details we hold about your business you agree to provide us with a screenshot PDF of a bank statement showing new account details whenever you want to make changes. This must include: name (both the new Seller's name and, where applicable, their company name), address, sort code and account number. When updating your details all payments from us will be suspended until the details are verified to our satisfaction. 

v. You agree to keep your account details up-to-date on the CMS throughout your use of the Service. HMRC legislation means that we have a responsibility to ensure your VAT compliance. You agree that you are aware of and compliant with all of your obligations to HMRC (including applicable laws and regulations).  If we believe you are not compliant, we retain the right to suspend your Storefront until your account information has been updated. 

B. TECHNICAL 

i. You agree to: 

a. ensure that at all times all computer hardware and software you use to access and interoperate with the Site is equipped and functions with up-to-date software (including up-to-date internet browser software) and up-to-date protection against Viruses; and 

b. ensure that all information you supply electronically to us and to the Site is submitted free from Viruses. 

ii. The responsibility for the provision, support and maintenance of any of your hardware or software used to provide you with access to the internet or the Site, or any related hardware or software (including any IP router, proxy server, firewall or anti-Virus software) remains exclusively with you. 

C. SECURITY 

i. You:

a) are responsible for the security and proper use of all passwords, or other security devices used in connection with the provision of the Service and access to the Storefront (which includes changing passwords on a regular basis); 

b) will take all necessary steps to ensure that passwords and other security devices remain confidential, secure, used properly and not disclosed to unauthorised third parties; 

c) will inform us immediately if there is any reason to believe that a password or any other security device has or is likely to become known to someone not authorised to use it, or is being or is likely to be used in an unauthorised way; 

d) will inform us immediately if you forget or lose a password and must satisfy such security checks as we may operate in order to obtain a new password; and 

e) will ensure that the CMS and its content remains entirely confidential, and that no other person beside those in your employment has sight of the CMS or any of its content, subject but not limited to the terms of the Data Sharing Policy. 

ii. We reserve the right: 

a) to suspend access to the Service if at any time we consider that there is or is likely to be a breach of security, in which event we will notify you of any steps to be taken by you as soon as possible; and 

b) to require you to change (or to ourselves change, and then notify you) any or all of the passwords used by you in connection with the provision of the Service and access to the Storefront, in which event we will notify you of the requirement to change passwords and any further steps to be taken by you as soon as possible. 

D. YOUR STOREFRONT 

i. We have absolute discretion as to: 

a) the look, feel and content of the Site (including all Storefronts); 

b) the inclusion, positioning, content, location and all other presentation of Seller Information (including in our sole discretion the right to remove any Seller Information from the Site at any time during the Term); and 

c) the Product set live on the Site (including in our sole discretion the right to remove any Product from the Site in line with one or more of our Policies (such as the Inventory Management Policy), or not allow a Product to be set live for sale on the Site). 

ii. You agree at all times to comply with all Policies and the Product Submission Process as updated by us from time to time. 

iii. Although you may request Customer Feedback in good faith, you agree not to review, nor engage any third party to review, Products appearing on your Storefront. This prohibition includes, without limitation, paying for reviews or any other means of artificially increasing the number of reviews of Products on your Storefront. 

iv. You may apply for multiple Storefronts, but please note that each request for an additional Storefront must be made using an Application Form and the application will be subject to our approval, to be confirmed by us in writing at our sole discretion. Any Charges for additional Storefronts will also be at our sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply to all of Your Storefronts.

v. Any transfer of Storefront ownership (including any transfer of ownership of your business e.g. a sale of more than 50% of the shares in your business or a sale of substantially all the assets of your business) must be agreed with us in writing at least 30 days beforehand, and you agree to provide us with the information set out in Clause 4.A.ii above in relation to the new Seller or new owner of your business. We will suspend the Storefront while we verify the new Seller's or new owner's details, which shall include checking their eligibility and suitability to be listed on the Site. Where applicable, we will only provide access to the Service to a new Seller once they have agreed to enter into an agreement incorporating these Conditions. The Storefront will be suspended until all payments owed to you, the outgoing Seller, have been cleared. If protocol is not followed, we retain the right to suspend a Storefront until new ownership has been verified and identification provided. We reserve the right to terminate our agreement if, in our sole discretion, we determine that the change of ownership of the Storefront or of your business renders your Storefront or business no longer eligible or suitable to be listed on the Site. We will comply with the provisions of Clause 2.D where this applies. 

vi. When you close your Storefront: 

a) we agree to ensure that that all payments we determine to be owing to you have been paid before closing your Storefront; 

b) you will delete or deal with any Shared Personal Data in accordance with the Data Sharing Policy; and 

c) you agree to ensure that negative balances are paid to us in full prior to closing your Storefront and agree to remain liable to pay any valid requests for refunds and associated Refund Fees which are received following such closure. 

vii. If your Storefront goes into a negative balance, you agree: 

a. to pay the outstanding balance to us within 7 (seven) days of going into negative balance. If the debt is not settled within 7 (seven) days of going into negative balance, we may terminate our Agreement with you and we may instruct a third party to collect the debt; 

b. that we may withhold future payments to offset against the outstanding debt or pay at a later date once the debt has been settled, whichever arises first; 

c. that we may, where you have multiple Storefronts with us, offset the sums due from you to us against payments due by us to you in relation to those other Storefronts, pursuant to Clause 16.A.v.c; and

d. that, we retain the right to suspend your Storefront immediately if your account goes into a negative balance. Your Storefront will not be reactivated until your negative balance has been paid, or we have reached an agreement with you in writing for its repayment. 

E. Quality of Presentation 

i. You agree to:

a. ensure that your Storefront maintains a high standard of presentation and at all times accords with any applicable guidelines notified to you from time to time by us, including in relation to the form and content of copy and product imagery; and

b. comply with reasonable instructions from us concerning your Storefront. 

ii. Any failure to maintain suitably high standards of page presentation may result in the de-activation of the relevant Product Page(s) in the first instance. We reserve the right to de-activate your Storefront until standards have been improved. Please see our Restriction, Suspension and Termination Policy for more information about our rights to restrict, suspend and terminate the Agreement and how we exercise those rights. 

F. Seller and Product Information 

i. You agree to ensure that all Seller Information provided about you and the Products on your Storefront is and remains true, accurate, current and complete. 

ii. Without undermining your obligation to comply with any Policies, you commit to ensure that none of your Seller Information nor any of your activities (including your personal conduct outside of being a Seller including, for example, on social media accounts) or use of the Site (including your use of your Storefront), will: 

a) be false, inaccurate or misleading; 

b) be offensive, indecent, obscene, pornographic, menacing, abusive or defamatory; 

c) be in breach of any applicable law or regulation; 

d) adversely affect our reputation or the Not On The High Street brand; 

e) create, or be likely to create, liability for us or cause us to lose (in whole or in part) the services of our internet service or other suppliers; 

f) contain any Virus; and 

g) cause the Site or the CMS or their functionality to be interrupted, damaged or impaired in any way. 

iii. You agree to: 

a) where applicable, state clearly on the relevant Product page that a Product is a personalised or specially-made Product, and/or that such Product requires Customer approval of proof prior to its production by you, and will display the relevant corresponding delivery times; 

b) if a Product is a Non-Cancellable Product, state clearly on the relevant Product page that such product cannot be cancelled by the Customer unless the Product is faulty; and 

c) display your expected delivery times and postage and packing costs on the appropriate areas of your Storefront. 

iv. Unless required to do so by law, you will not include the following within your Storefront, on the CMS, any other place on the Site, on your packaging or product, or in any other means of communication with the Customer (including via social media):

a. any direct or indirect link to other websites including your own website; 

b. your email address; or 

c. any other means by which a Customer could communicate directly with you, other than through the CMS.

G. Stock Information 

i. You agree to accurately display stock availability for all Products and to update such stock availability regularly using the 'out of stock' and 'is available' options on the CMS.

iii. You agree to suspend Products from your Storefront that are awaiting stock for more than four weeks until they become available again.

iv. If the final piece of stock of any Product has been sold and will no longer be available, you must mark that item as discontinued on your Storefront.

v. If a Customer places an order for an item which is in fact out of stock and has not been displayed as such and the Customer consequently requires a refund, then we will charge you the Refund Fee on that order. 

H. Pricing 

i. Your prices must be fully inclusive of all taxes and additional charges (including any VAT that may be chargeable by us if sales are deemed for VAT purposes to be made by us, and not by you, even if you are not VAT registered). The only exception to this is (i) customs duties and (ii) postage and packing which, if such postage and packaging charges apply in accordance with our Delivery and Fulfilment Policy, you must show these separately. 

ii. If you are VAT registered, you agree to set the VAT rate at the appropriate level which is currently applicable with respect to your Products. 

iii. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you fully comply with your current VAT registrations and accounting for VAT correctly in any country that you sell to. 

iv. You have complete discretion over how you wish to price your Products. 

I. VAT Information 

i. You agree to:

a) promptly provide us with any information that we may request from time to time in respect of the Products in order for us to properly account for VAT where applicable. When you become aware that such information is no longer accurate, you will promptly provide us with updated information. We will use this information as the basis for our understanding of the VAT obligations we have in respect of any sales, so it is important that such information is accurate; 

b) where relevant, provide to the delivery service in the prescribed format any required information (including our Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) number) (which will be available in the order summary section of the CMS for all applicable orders) in respect of any consignment of Products in order to, where possible, remove the need for any import VAT to be paid by a Customer in respect of any Products; and 

c) not misuse any of our VAT details (including but not limited to our IOSS number) 

ii. Any Seller who is not based in the UK should consider if it is required to register for VAT in the UK where the Products being sold to UK Customers are physically located in the UK at the point of sale. You must immediately provide us with your VAT registration number where this applies to you. 

iii. Any Seller who makes sales to Customers in the EU should consider its VAT obligations in respect of such sales, including but not limited to whether or not the Seller must register for VAT in the EU. You must immediately provide us with your VAT registration number where this applies to you. 

iv. You will compensate us in full for any loss, cost, expense, damages or penalty arising from any errors or omissions in the information provided to us, or any failure to promptly update such information, or any failure to comply with this Clause 4.I. 

J. Product listing and categorisation 

i. You agree to upload your Product range and work cooperatively with our onboarding team so that we are able to set your Storefront live on the Site within three (3) months of receipt of your CMS login details. 

ii. If you fail to comply with Clause 4Ji, we may suspend or terminate this Agreement. We will retain sole discretion as to whether to accept any request from you for re-activation. 

iii. The Service allows you to offer your Products on the Site as part of an 'always on' detailed electronic catalogue containing categories and sub-categories, so that you may display each Product in at least one appropriate category, and with Product information and images uploaded by you. 

iv. You may apply for a Product to be featured in one or more online categories, and we will retain absolute discretion as to which category is the most appropriate for a given Product. 

v. We may, in our absolute discretion and where relevant and appropriate, select a Product for inclusion in a curated category. 

vi. You will ensure that a single Product may appear only once on your Storefront. Variations of a Product such as colour or size do not constitute separate Products and should not be listed as such.

vii. You will ensure that each of your Product listings contains all the information required by a Customer to make a purchase, and that such information is wholly accurate. 'Dummy' box filling to circumnavigate required fields is not permitted. 

viii. You will not use keyword spamming (the use or placement of inappropriate keywords in a title or description to gain attention or divert users to another page) or similar techniques in Product listings. 

ix. Subject to paragraph J of this Clause, if you wish to promote the same Product(s) on the Site as another Seller, it will be solely yours and the relevant Sellers' responsibility to resolve between yourselves any conflict, whether with regard to Intellectual Property Rights or otherwise, that arises in this respect. We will have no liability for any such scenario or any issues arising from it. 

K. COMPLIANCE WITH OUR INSTRUCTIONS AND LAWS 

i. You agree to comply at all times with our reasonable instructions and all applicable laws and regulations including: 

a) UK and EU competition laws;

d) the Restricted Products Policy; and 

e) all applicable bribery legislation.

iii. In relation to compliance with all applicable bribery legislation, you agree to: 

iv. not engage in any activity, practice or conduct anywhere in the world which would constitute an offence under the UK bribery legislation if such activity, practice or conduct had been carried out in the UK; 

v. maintain in place throughout the Term (and enforce where appropriate) your own policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the UK bribery legislation; 

vi. promptly report to us any request or demand for any undue financial or other advantage of any kind received by you in connection with the performance of these Conditions; and

Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the Agreement was entered into, both parties knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during on-boarding. We will notify you in writing as soon as possible after becoming aware of the claim. 

xi. You agree to maintain at all times, at your own expense and with reputable insurers appropriate insurance in relation to your business.

ii. The applicable foreign exchange rate is accessible to you at any time via the CMS and we suggest that you check the CMS to keep updated of the exchange rate applicable at any given time. 

H. HOW PAYMENT IS MADE TO YOU 

i. As part of your appointing us as your commercial agent (as set out in Clause 6.A of these Conditions), you agree that we also act as your exclusive agent for the purpose of accepting, refunding and/or otherwise processing payment(s) related to the sale of Product(s) by you via the Site (or any other sales channel which we may offer to you from time to time). In respect of Not On The High Street gift vouchers, this paragraph is modified by Clause 16.H.v. 

ii. Both you and we acknowledge and agree that except as otherwise provided in these Conditions (and in acknowledgement that both parties are businesses), that the duties of an agent implied under the common law are expressly excluded. For the avoidance of doubt, we, acting as your commercial agent, are neither the buyer nor the seller of the Product(s) and are not a party to the contract of sale of Product(s) between you and the Customer.

iii. Payments for Product(s) will be made directly by a Customer to us (acting as your commercial agent), following you confirming your acceptance of the order to us using your CMS and the relevant transaction being recorded on your designated CMS. You must check the CMS daily for alert of new orders. You agree that the Customer’s obligation to pay you for Product(s) is satisfied when the Customer validly pays us for the applicable Product(s), or where pursuant to Clause 16.H.v., following a request by a Customer to redeem a gift voucher, we apply the Gift Voucher Funds against the purchase price. You further agree that you will not seek recourse (legal or otherwise) against a Customer or any third party (including, but not limited to any payment service provider or gateway) for payment of a Product if the Customer has validly paid us in the manner referred to in this Clause or we have credited funds to you in recognition of a voucher pursuant to Clause 16.H.v. 

iv. Payment for Product(s) by Customers through the Site will be through payment methods made available from time to time, using our current online payment processing system. 

v. We may offer gift vouchers to Customers that are available for redemption against Not On The High Street (whether by the original Customer purchaser or their nominated Customer beneficiary). You acknowledge and agree that: (i) any purchase and redemption of a Not On The High Street gift voucher is as between the Customer and us; (ii) you will not accept any gift vouchers as a means of payment or value; and (iii) where we accept redemption of a gift voucher we do so as principal and not as your agent. If a Customer redeems a gift voucher, we will then apply an equivalent sum to the relevant purchase from our Gift Voucher Funds in settlement of the amount due to you. Any shortfall will be paid for by the Customer using our current online payment processing system. 

vi. We agree to pay you for the relevant transaction less the Single Commission Fee weekly, 15-21 days in arrears following acceptance of an order by you through the CMS. Unless we otherwise agree with you, any payments we make to you will be in the domestic currency of the region where your bank account nominated to receive such payments is held and which may also be subject to the Currency Conversion Fee. 

vii. From time to time we may retain a portion of the payment due to you in order to provide for refunds due or expected to be due to a Customer in the ensuing period. If refunds exceed your sales in a particular period, any future payments will be used to clear your negative balance and the difference leftover will be paid when the next payment is due. We have the right to retain a payment for up to 8 weeks, for any refunds expected to be due. 

viii. You agree to provide such of your banking details as are required or requested by us, in order that payment may be processed to you in respect of any Products sold.

ix. You agree to ensure the banking details referred to in Clause 16.H.viii are kept up-to-date, and you agree to notify us of any changes on the next Working Day. You agree to be responsible for paying any banking charges or other administrative expenses incurred by us as a result of any inaccuracies in any such information. 

x. Where we are deemed for VAT purposes to be the supplier of Products to a Customer, and believe that we are responsible for accounting for that VAT to the relevant tax authority, you agree that we will be entitled to deduct from the sums due to you an amount equal to the VAT that we reasonably believe is due in respect of the sale (based upon the information provided to us detailed in Clause 4.I), and will account for such VAT to the relevant tax authority. If such amount is found to be insufficient, you agree to pay to us an amount equal to any shortfall. 

17. CONFIDENTIALITY

A. The parties agree that they will keep in confidence any Confidential Information and, except in accordance with these Conditions, will not disclose that Confidential Information to any person (other than their employees, professional advisers or suppliers who need to know the information) without the written consent of the other party. For the avoidance of doubt, you authorise us (including our employees, agents and contractors) to hold and process Seller Information. 

B. The obligations of confidentiality under the Conditions will not extend to any matter which either party can show: 

i. is in or has become part of the public domain, other than through a breach of the Conditions or other confidentiality obligations; 

ii. was lawfully in the possession of the recipient before the disclosure under the Conditions took place; 

iii. was independently disclosed to it by a third party entitled to disclose the same; 

iv. was disclosed in accordance with Clause 11.D; or 

v. is required to be disclosed under any applicable law, or by order of a court or governmental body, or by authority of competent jurisdiction.

A. Nothing in these Conditions excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law. 

B. Subject to Clause 18.A, our total liability to you if we fail to comply with the Agreement will be limited in aggregate to a maximum of £10,000. 

Subject to Clause 18.A, we will not be liable to you for any loss of profit or other economic loss, foreseeable losses (as explained at Clause 4.K.x above), costs, expenses or other claims for foreseeable compensation or loss or damage that arise in connection with the Conditions, or for any liability incurred by you to a Customer, or to any other person, whether arising from the provision of the Service or otherwise. 

19. GENERAL 

A. You will not be entitled to charge (e.g. by way of a mortgage), subcontract or transfer this Agreement or any part of it without our prior written consent. For example, and this does not in any way constitute an exhaustive list, if you wish to subcontract your obligations under this Agreement to a third party service provider, or you wish to sell all or part of your assets to a third party, our prior written consent will be required in order to do so. You must also comply with the requirements set out at Clause 4.D.vi with respect to changes of ownership of your Storefront or business. 

B. We may charge, subcontract or transfer this Agreement or any part of it to any person.

Except with respect to the persons referred to in Clause 6.C.i, no term of these Conditions will be enforceable by any third party (which includes for these purposes any third party: employee, officer, agent, representative or sub-contractor of either party). Nothing in this Clause excludes our rights when acting as your payment agent. 

D. We reserve the right to suspend or to cancel our obligations under these Conditions in whole or in part (without liability) if we are prevented from or delayed in the carrying on of our business and our obligations under the Conditions due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, fire, flood, lightning, epidemic, pandemic, severe weather conditions, war, revolution, acts of terrorism, IT or internet outage, industrial disputes (whether of our own employees or others) or acts of local or central government (including the imposition of legal or regulatory restrictions). If any such event beyond our reasonable control continues for a continuous period of more than 30 days, either party will be entitled to give notice in writing to the other to terminate the Agreement. 

E. If either party does not make a claim in respect of any breach of the Conditions, or delay in enforcing any breach, this will not prevent the subsequent enforcement of that breach and the relevant party will not be deemed to have given up the right to enforce any subsequent breach of that or any other provision. 

F. If at any time any one or more of these Conditions (or any part of one or more of these Conditions) is held to be or becomes void or otherwise unenforceable, for any reason under any applicable law, the same will be deemed omitted from the Conditions and the validity and/or enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Conditions will not in any way be affected or impaired as a result of that omission. 

G. Notices given under the Conditions must be in writing and may be:

i. in the case of notices from you to us, validly served by raising a support enquiry on the CMS; or

ii. in the case of notices from us to you,validly served by email, such email to be sent to the email address provided by you on the CMS. 

H. Except as set out in Clauses 3.C and 6.A, nothing in the Conditions will render us (nor our personnel) as an employee, worker, any other form of agent, or partner of yours or of any Customer's. Except where an express provision in these Conditions states to the contrary or at our reasonable discretion, neither party will have any right or authority to, and will not do or say anything on behalf of the other party or bind the party in any way. 

I. The Agreement, and any documents referred to in it, constitute the entire agreement between us and supersede and extinguish all previous drafts, arrangements, understandings or agreements between us, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter of the Agreement. 

J. Each party acknowledges that in entering into the Agreement it does not rely on, and will have no remedies in respect of, any representation or promise (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in the Agreement. Each party agrees that its only liability in respect of those representations and promises that are set out in the Agreement (whether made innocently or negligently) will be for breach of contract. 

K. Nothing in this Clause will limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

L. The Agreement and any non-contractual obligations relating to or arising under these Conditions will be governed by English law, and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts in respect of any dispute relating to or arising under it. 

M. Complaints. Please review our Complaints Handling Process for more information. 

N. Mediation. Mediation is a process where a neutral third party facilitates negotiations between the parties to a dispute to help them come to an outcome that they can all agree on. We work with the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution ("CEDR"), who we are willing to engage with to attempt to reach an agreement with you on the settlement, out of court, of any disputes we may have with you arising out of the Agreement, including complaints that could not be resolved by means of our Complaints Handling Process. Although mediation is a voluntary process, you and we both agree to engage in good faith throughout any mediation attempts, and to also do so in accordance with the CEDR Model Mediation Procedure. 

O. You and we both agree to notify the other in writing if one of us wishes to submit a dispute to mediation. Unless you and we agree otherwise within 14 (fourteen) days of that notice, the mediator will be nominated by CEDR. We will bear a reasonable proportion of the total costs of mediation. Any attempt to reach an agreement through mediation on the settlement of a dispute will not affect your or our right to initiate court proceedings at any time before, during or after the mediation process. Let us know if you need any further information of the functioning and effectiveness of mediation.
