16.6 At the request of the Member until the effective date of termination, the Content may be exported in a format and with financial terms to be agreed, where appropriate, between the Parties. After the effective date of termination, TRADEPRIVE reserves the right to delete the Content at any time, subject to the license granted on the Content pursuant to Article 14.

 

17 RESPONSIBILITIES

17.1 The Parties shall be liable for any harmful consequences arising from the performance or non-performance of their obligations under this Agreement. Each Party expressly agrees to be liable only for direct damages resulting from a failure to comply with these Terms of Use that are attributable to it.

17.2 TRADEPRIVE has only an obligation of "best efforts" (obligation of means) regarding the provision of the Platform and the Service. In addition, TRADEPRIVE, in its capacity as host of Content made available online by Members, accepts no liability for Content posted by Members through the Platform, as TRADEPRIVE does not carry out any prior check of this Content.

 

17.3 Except where proven fault may be attributable to TRADEPRIVE, TRADEPRIVE shall not be liable for any damage potentially suffered by a User due to the use or inability to use, in whole or in part, the Platform. TRADEPRIVE shall not be liable for any consequences that would have been caused by the Internet network or the User’s information system, such as a possible malfunction, failure or interruption of access to the electronic communications network, including the Internet.

 

17.4 Finally, the liability of TRADEPRIVE will not be incurred if the non-execution or late execution of any of its obligations is attributable to an event or circumstance that is outside the control of TRADEPRIVE and that could not have been be reasonably expected at the time these Terms of Use were accepted and the consequences of which could not have been avoided by taking appropriate measures (force majeure).

 

17.5 In any event, without prejudice to applicable legal provisions, TRADEPRIVE’s liability to Distributor in the event of breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement, for all causes and under any circumstances, shall not exceed the greater of:

 

• the total amount of commissions actually paid by the Member to TRADEPRIVE during the twelve (12) months preceding the event that caused the damage; or

 

• five hundred (600) euro VAT included.

 

17.6 TRADEPRIVE shall in no case be liable for any indirect damages suffered by the User, nor for any loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of expected savings, loss of goodwill, loss of customers, damage to reputation or loss of data.

 

17.7 Each User is invited to notify TRADEPRIVE of any breach of these Terms of Use, in particular if this User notices that the Products do not comply with the terms of these Terms of Use are offered for sale. You are invited to notify TRADEPRIVE via our contact form.

17.8 The Distributor will also be solely responsible for the execution of sales contracts entered into with Retailers through the Platform, as long as TRADEPRIVE’s liability for non-performance or misperformance of the sales contract is not proven by the Distributor. Accordingly, the Distributor undertakes to indemnify TRADEPRIVE and hold TRADEPRIVE harmless from any liability, claim, cause or proceeding brought against TRADEPRIVE by a User, a Member, a Reseller or a third party, or any administrative authority, in relation to the non-compliance of a Product with applicable regulations, the non-compliance with economic regulations, the use of the Products or the execution of the sales contract between the Distributor and any Reseller. The Distributor therefore undertakes to be directly liable or to reimburse TRADEPRIVE on request for payment of any sum, including the sums allocated to the court, the court fees, the legal fees and any other amount due for this purpose.

 

17.9 The Distributor is advised to take out civil and professional liability insurance with an insurance company known to be solvent, to cover the liability that the Distributor may incur, on any legal basis, for damages of any kind that the Distributor may cause in the context of the performance of these Terms of Use. The Distributor will provide TRADEPRIVE, upon request, with evidence to support the conclusion of such insurance.

 

19 ALLOCATION

19.1 No party may transfer, assign or otherwise dispose, in whole or in part, of its rights or obligations or the Terms of Use, with or without consideration, except with the prior written consent of the other party.

19.2 As an exception to the foregoing, TRADEPRIVE may freely transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of all or part of its rights or obligations or the Terms of Use, as part of a restructuring (including any merger, absorption, transfer or contribution of all or part of its assets, direct or indirect change of control).

 

20 GENERAL PROVISIONS

20.1 TRADEPRIVE has the right to subcontract all or part of its obligations to any third party subcontractor of its choice. TRADEPRIVE remains responsible for the actions and omissions of these subcontractors. It is expressly agreed between the parties that the payment service provider of TRADEPRIVE (namely Stripe) is an independent provider of TRADEPRIVE and that it does not act as a subcontractor of TRADEPRIVE. Therefore, TRADEPRIVE will not be liable to the Member for the actions or omissions of that payment service provider.

 

20.2 Unless expressly provided otherwise, these Terms of Use shall not be construed as constituting either the lawyer, agent or representative of the other party or as constituting memoranda and statutes. The will of the parties to be part of a company (affectio societatis) as well as any joint and several liability towards third parties or between the parties are expressly excluded. Therefore, each party undertakes not to do anything that would mislead a third party in this regard and not to make any commitment or provide any guarantee on behalf of the other party, unless otherwise expressly provided in this contract.

 

20.3 In the event of difficulties in interpreting one of the titles given to the articles of these Terms of Use and one of the provisions of these Terms of Use, the titles will be declared non-existent.

20.4 For the execution of all the terms contained herein and for any consequence deriving from them, the parties choose their respective domiciles as their domiciles. Any change to the address chosen by one party for the above purposes will be binding on the other party only if such change of address has been notified to that other party by email or through the Platform (if the option is available).

 

20.5 If any provision of these Terms of Use is deemed void, invalid or unenforceable by any court in a final decision, that provision shall be removed without the Terms of Use as a whole being void. The other provisions of the Terms of Use will remain unchanged and continue to apply.

 

20.6 No waiver, forgiveness or omission, regardless of duration and number, in claiming/claiming the existence or partial or total breach of any of the provisions of these Terms of Use shall constitute a modification, a cancellation of that provision or a waiver of the right to invoke a previous, contemporaneous or subsequent breach of that provision or other provisions. Such waiver shall have no effect unless expressed in a written document signed by the person duly authorised for that purpose.

 

20.7 TRADEPRIVE, on the one hand, and the Member, on the other, are independent parties, each acting in its own name and on its own account. Unless expressly provided otherwise, these Terms of Use do not create any obligation of obedience, mandate, partnership, joint venture, employee/independent employment relationship, principal/lawyer or franchisor/franchisee between TRADEPRIVE and each Member.

 

20.8 These Terms of Use are written in Italian. If these Terms of Use are translated into one or more other languages, the Italian version will prevail.

 

21 APPLICABLE LAW - JURISDICTION

21.1 These Terms of Use will be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Italy without giving effect to its rules on the choice of law.

 

21.2 Except as provided by law, any dispute relating to the validity, interpretation, execution or termination of all or part of the commercial relations shall be submitted to the court of Cagliari, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
