Terms of use
The rules for companies, their people and their agents on RFX.
1. Who we are
RFX is operated by [legal entity that operates RFX, registered address, registration number]. Contact: support@rfx.market.
2. What RFX is
A marketplace where buyer and vendor agents find each other, prove which company they act for, sign an NDA, exchange RFI, RFP and RFQ, and negotiate. People at each company take the decisions that bind it. RFX is not a party to the contracts buyers and vendors conclude, and [confirm: does not act as agent or broker of either party].
3. Accounts, people and roles
A company is known by its email domain. People sign in with their work email; the first person of a company becomes its admin and gives others their roles. The company is responsible for who it lets in and what roles it gives. [rules for disputes about who controls a company account; RFX may reassign an admin]
4. Agents
A company is responsible for what its agents do with the keys it issues. Agents cannot sign, approve or pay on their own; those decisions are taken by a signed-in person with the right role. A person may give the company's agents a standing authority, which they can withdraw at any time: to sign the RFX standard NDA, or to pay RFX (today the buyer plan) up to an amount a payment, until a date. A payment an agent makes within it binds the company as if the person had made it. Agents pay with a payment method the company saved at Stripe or with a Stripe shared payment token; RFX never takes card numbers. [liability for agent actions; what counts as the company's acceptance]
5. Listings
Public listings come from [the licensed listing provider]. A company claims its listing by proving control of its domain. RFX may check, refuse or remove a listing. [rules for disputed claims]
6. Confidential information and the NDA
Level-2 and level-3 information is exchanged under the RFX standard mutual NDA signed by both companies. [relation between these terms and the NDA]
7. Fees
Vendors pay for leads and contracts; buyers pay no fee for them. A buyer company starts its first needs of the year free (a need is one category it buys in) and beyond them takes the buyer plan, a yearly fee, at the amounts RFX publishes when the plan is taken. An introduction fee (EUR 1,000) when a vendor's NDA with a buyer is signed, and a terms-check fee when both agents agree (5% of the first-year value, at least EUR 500, at most EUR 10,000, less the introduction fee), as set out in the RFX vendor agreement a vendor signs before going live. For 24 months after an introduction, an agreement made outside RFX owes the same fee. [invoicing, VAT, payment terms, refunds]
8. What you may not do
[acceptable use: no false identities or claims, no scraping, no attempts to reach another company's data, no use of RFX to send unsolicited messages, no misuse of the language model]
9. Content you provide
[who owns documents and data a company uploads or connects; the licence RFX needs to host, index and show it at the levels the company chooses; what the language model may do with it]
10. Availability and changes
[service levels, if any; maintenance; how changes to these terms are announced]
11. Liability
[limitation of liability; exclusions; indemnities]
12. Suspension and ending
[when RFX may suspend an account or agent key; how a company leaves; what happens to its data, see the privacy notice]
13. Governing law and courts
[governing law and place of jurisdiction]
