1. Agri Networking Tools

This Economic Agreement is an integral part of the User Agreement and it regulates the economic aspects relating to the service offered by Agri Networking Tools.

2. Posting an ad

After registering with a Professional Account, in accordance with the terms of the User Agreement, users can post purchase or sale ads in which they will specify- under their own full responsibility- the type of product they wish to purchase or sell through the platform.

The detailed characteristics that are required in each description are subject to a specific internal regulation [Advertisement Regulations] and are guided by the templates used to create the advertisements. Said Advertisement Regulations and the associated templates, may be amended by Agri Networking Tools in accordance with the needs that may arise in the performance of their activities and always with the aim of making the platform a safe, useful tool for bringing together demand and supply.

The advertiser undertakes to hold Agri Networking Tools harmless against any direct or indirect dispute relating to the advertisement.

3. Binding nature of the offer upon the advertiser

Once the ad creation procedure has been completed by the user, in accordance with article 2 above, the ad will be posted on the platform.

From the moment the ad is posted on the platform, it will become binding upon the advertiser who has created it, in accordance with the provisions of art. 1336 of the Italian Civil Code.

The advertiser expressly waives the possibility of revoking the offer for the entire period of validity of the ad.

However, the advertiser may ask the platform to remove the ad if proof of reasons beyond their control (force majeure) is provided.

In any case, Agri Networking Tools reserves the right to remove the ad in the event that it breaches the regulations of this platform.

4. Awarding a sale

The advertiser must specify the terms of sale/purchase in the ad [hereinafter, Sale/purchase terms and conditions].

The above Sale/purchase terms and conditions are the conditions at which the advertiser is willing to buy or sell the goods described in the ad.

However, higher bids could be submitted by users during the period of validity of the ad.

The user offering the best terms will be awarded the contract and will undertake to comply with the agreed terms and conditions set out in point 6, as well as with the payment of the fees specified in point 5.

5. Fees
The fees charged for using our services are indicated in the rules on Agri Networking Tools Fees.

Fees shall be owed to Agri Networking Tools irrespective of any exception or dispute arising subsequently between the seller and the buyer.

The fee schedule of the Agri Networking Tools platform includes the following types of fees:

1- "Debit Fee" or "DF": this fee is calculated in accordance with the schedule applicable to the type of product in the ad or the estimated value of a contract. This fee is always paid by the advertiser as charge for the ad, except in the event that a Service Fee is payable;

2- "Service Fee" or "SF": this fee is calculated in accordance with the schedule and is owed in equal measure by the advertiser and the awardee only if the sale is closed. The application of the SF shall always result in the removal of the DF, which is actually absorbed by the SF.

To clarify: if an advert does not result in a sale, the advertiser will only pay the Debit Fee. If negotiations are successful and the advert does result in a sale, a Debit Fee will not be charged, but the buyer and seller will each pay 50% of the Service Fee.

Agri Networking Tools may change the fees: any changes will be posted on the website or in the Messages section of "My Account", 14 days before the change is applied.

If a user does not accept the new fees, he or she is entitled to close the account without any consequences within 14 days from notification of the fee changes.

6. Award

Once an ad is closed, the buyer and seller shall agree on further aspects concerning the exchange of goods, undertaking to always adopt a fair conduct aimed at meeting their mutual interest.

Following the award, i.e. the closing of the contract, the buyer and seller shall pay Agri Networking Tools the "Service Fee", as described and regulated by point 5 herein.

The buyer shall ensure that the amount owed is received by the seller as a net sum; this means that any expenses, bank charges, withholding taxes and duties shall be borne by the buyer.

The buyer guarantees that he or she is not buying the lot as part of a false transaction, to enable the transfer of all or part of the purchase price and launder the money involved.

If the buyer does not pay the price agreed by the advertiser within the payment deadline, he or she will be considered automatically in default against the seller, without the need for a notice of non-compliance to be issued.

Likewise, if the fees owed to Agri Networking Tools by the advertiser or by both Parties are not paid in the way set out in point 5 herein, the Parties shall be considered automatically in default against Agri Networking Tools, once again without the need for a notice of non-compliance to be issued.

Calculation of the commercial interest owed by the awardee shall start on the date of default.

The advertiser shall specify the detailed method of delivery of the goods and indicate any additional costs in the ad.

The risk of damage, loss, deterioration or theft of the lots shall be borne by the seller up to the time the goods are received by the buyer.

The buyer must immediately report to the seller as well as to Agri Networking Tools any complaints regarding non conformity between the advertised goods and the purchased goods.

Agri Networking Tools shall not be liable for partial or total nonconformities: the seller is solely responsible for the fairness and truthfulness of the sale ads.

In any case, the buyer and seller can contact Agri Networking Tools, and appoint them as arbitrator, with the aim of solving any disputes regarding a purchase made through the Agri Networking Tools platform.

Agri Networking Tools shall act as an independent arbitrator, on an amicable and informal basis, to reach a solution of the dispute in accordance with the [Agri Networking Tools Arbitration Regulations].
