Welcome to BuyTheSell

These Terms and Conditions along with each Order Form represent the agreement (the “Agreement”) by and between the client as stated on the Order Form on behalf of itself and its affiliates (collectively, the “Client”) and BuyTheSell LLC ("BuyTheSell"). The Client and BuyTheSell are referred to as the “parties” and each is a “party”. Each Order Form shall become part of this Agreement when signed by both parties.

1. The Software, the Services and the Materials
1.1. BuyTheSell agrees to provide Client and those individual employees and contractors of Client authorized by Client (“Users”) access to the BuyTheSell software (“Software”), the BuyTheSell services (“Services”) and/or the BuyTheSell data, text, graphics or other materials (collectively, “Materials”) identified in each Order Form.
1.2. BuyTheSell grants to Client and its Users, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, a limited term, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the Software and Services, and to access, use, print, download and/or copy the Materials, all solely for Client’s internal business purposes (the “License”). The License is limited to the number of Users specified on the Order Form. All rights in and to the Software, the Services and the Materials not expressly granted to Client and the Users in this Agreement are reserved by BuyTheSell.
2. The Users
2.1. BuyTheSell will provide each User with a unique user name and password (“User ID”) to access the Software, the Services and the Materials. No User ID may be transferred from one individual to another individual without the express written permission of BuyTheSell.
2.2. Individuals who are not Users may not access or use the Software or the Services at any time. Users are not permitted to allow any other person or entity to share their User ID, or to allow unauthorized individuals to access or use the Software or the Services. Client and each User shall promptly notify BuyTheSell in writing of any unauthorized use of any User IDs, or any access to or use of the Software, the Services or the Materials, of which it may become aware.
2.3. Client shall provide BuyTheSell with notice of the termination of any User. Should Client wish to switch a User ID to a different individual, Client shall contact BuyTheSell, which may switch a current User ID, or BuyTheSell may terminate one User ID and establish a new User ID at BuyTheSell’s sole discretion.
2.4. BuyTheSell reserves the right to view, monitor and record User activity on the Software and through the Services and Materials, including without limitation User navigation, searching and use of Materials, calculation of new or revised data, solving of technical problems, and usage statistics. BuyTheSell may also use data it collects for editorial and feedback purposes, for BuyTheSell marketing and promotional purposes, for a statistical analysis of users’ behavior, for product development, for content improvement, or to customize the content and layout of the Software. Aggregated and anonymized data on Client and its Users activity may be used by BuyTheSell for its internal, marketing and other purposes.
2.5. Client is responsible for all activities that occur under each User ID allocated to Client and its Users. Client shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable local, state, federal, and foreign laws in using the Software, the Services and the Materials. Client shall not interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Software, Services or the Materials. Client shall not attempt to probe, scan, penetrate or test the vulnerability of the Software or any other BuyTheSell system or network, or BuyTheSell’s security or authentication measures, whether by passive or intrusive techniques, without BuyTheSell's prior written consent, which BuyTheSell may refuse in its sole discretion.
2.6. Client is solely responsible for (i) obtaining and maintaining any Client computer hardware, software, network infrastructure and ancillary services (collectively, the “Equipment”) to connect to, access or otherwise use the Software, the Services or any Materials; (ii) paying third-party access charges (e.g., kiosk, ISP, telecommunications) incurred while using the Software, the Services or any Materials; and (iii) ensuring that the Client’s Equipment is compatible with the Software, the Services or any Materials.
3. Term, Renewal and Termination
3.1. Each Service provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective on the Order Date stated on the applicable Order Form, and continues for a period of time set forth in the applicable Order Form, unless the Service or this Agreement is terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. For the ease of billing, where multiple Services are ordered through multiple Order Forms, BuyTheSell may pro-rate one or more Services so that multiple Services have termination and renewal dates on the same day.
3.2. The term of each Service may be renewed on an annual basis by mutual agreement of the parties. Payment of a renewal invoice for a Service shall be deemed to be an agreement between the parties to renew this Agreement for a term of one year. The initial term and any renewal terms shall be collectively referred to as the “Term.”
3.3. BuyTheSell may terminate this Agreement and access to the Software, the Services and the Materials if Client or any User breaches any provision of this Agreement, and fails to cure the breach within five (5) business days after BuyTheSell sends written notice of the breach to Client.
3.4. Either party, upon giving written notice to the other party, may terminate this Agreement (i) at any time in the event the other party terminates or suspends its business, becomes subject to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding under Federal or state statute, or becomes subject to direct control by a trustee or similar authority, or (ii) as of the expiration of the Term by providing the other party with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of non-renewal. In addition, any failure by Client to pay applicable fees for a Service for a particular term shall be deemed Client’s non-renewal of such Services.
3.5. Any termination, expiration or non-renewal of this Agreement or any Services under this Agreement shall not relieve Client of the duty to pay BuyTheSell for any Services provided prior to the effective date of termination.
3.6. The following provisions shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement: Sections 5 through 11; and, any other terms that, by their nature, ought to survive termination, will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
3.7. Upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement: (i) BuyTheSell shall immediately cease providing access to the Software, the Services and the Materials to Client and Users; (ii) Client’s License to use the Software, the Services and the Materials shall cease; (iii) any and all payment obligations of Client incurred in respect of periods prior to the date of termination shall immediately become due; and (iv) Client and Users shall promptly return the Materials to BuyTheSell along with any BuyTheSell Confidential Information, and all copies, derivative works, abstracts, and compilations of the Materials or Confidential Information in any medium.
4. Financial
4.1. Client shall pay all fees specified in all executed Order Forms, including any membership fees. Except as otherwise agreed in writing, all fees are quoted and due in United States dollars (USD) and are nonrefundable.
4.2. Any amounts due BuyTheSell that are not paid within thirty (30) days of the invoice date shall be subject to a late fee of one percent (1.0%) per month, or, if less, the maximum amount allowed by law, and may be charged on any past due amounts. Client shall pay any attorneys’ fees, court costs, or other costs incurred in collecting monies from Client.
4.3. If Client’s account is thirty (30) days or more overdue for any Service or Material, then, in addition to any of its other rights or remedies, BuyTheSell reserves the right to suspend the BuyTheSell Service provided to Client, without any liability to Client.
4.4. Unless otherwise stated in an Order Form, BuyTheSell’s fees do not include any local, state, federal or foreign taxes, levies or duties of any nature (“Taxes”). Client is responsible for paying all Taxes, excluding only taxes based on BuyTheSell’s income. If BuyTheSell has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Client is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Client, unless Client provides BuyTheSell with a valid Tax exemption certificate issued by the appropriate taxing authority.
5. Intellectual Property Rights
5.1. All rights, including copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patent rights and other rights in and to the Software, the Services and the Materials belong exclusively to BuyTheSell. Client agrees to use the same standards of care to protect the distribution of and access to the Software, the Services and the Materials as Client would normally exercise in the protection of its own proprietary or confidential information.
5.2. Users are permitted to print, download and/or copy reasonable portions of the Materials for internal use by Client. Client and each User agree not to use the Software, the Services or any Materials to provide any Services to or for the benefit of any third party. A User of Client may, on an occasional and irregular basis, disseminate an insubstantial portion of the Materials, without additional charge, in print or via secure electronic means, to a limited number of individuals within Client’s organization, provided Client includes proper attribution to BuyTheSell or the legend “Source: BuyTheSell Energy” as credit in a highly visible location on the Materials. An “insubstantial portion” means a quantity of material which would not prejudice or otherwise diminish BuyTheSell’s advantage in licensing the Services (or any separately marked subset or update thereof) for commercial gain.
5.3. Any usage of Materials external to Client (including, but not limited to, press releases, regulatory findings, presentations, analyses, memoranda or reports) and information contained therein, shall require prompt notice to and prior written approval of BuyTheSell, which permission BuyTheSell may grant or refuse in BuyTheSell's sole discretion. The parties agree and acknowledge that their obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
