When requested, you must timely provide us with complete information about yourself and your business, which includes, but is not limited to, providing official government or legal documents. During verification some Platform account features may be temporarily limited.
   • Customer Ratings.  Advertiser acknowledges that the Platform is intended to refer Customers only to those Advertisers who maintain the highest standards of professionalism and quality of service. Advertiser acknowledges that Customers may rate and review an Advertiser at any time.

   • Equipment Listings. All Equipment listings on the Platform are the sole responsibility of the Advertiser, and ECR specifically disclaims any and all liability arising from the alleged accuracy of the listings, reviews, or any alleged breaches of contract on a Customer’s part. 
   • License and Rights Granted to ECR.
     • By submitting or authorizing Advertiser contributed User Contributions, Advertiser grants to ECR and its affiliates a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, unrestricted, non-exclusive, royalty-free and fully paid-up license to use, copy, license, sublicense (through multiple tiers), adapt, distribute, display, publicly perform, reproduce, transmit, modify, edit and otherwise exploit the copy, the photographs and the likenesses (if any) of any of Advertiser’s User Contributions, in connection with ECR’s business or the business of its affiliates.  
     • Advertiser further grants ECR and its affiliates the ability to copyright and protect the User Contributions, including the images, copy, and content available via any Advertiser’s listing, from the unauthorized use by unaffiliated third parties who may, from time to time, attempt to pirate such information via electronic or other means.  This includes, but is not limited to, the right to file suit to seek injunctive relief to protect such material.  You further agree to assist ECR, at ECR’s expense and control, to protect such copyrighted material from unauthorized redistribution.
     • Advertiser agrees that ECR may sublicense all the rights granted to it under these Terms and Conditions to one or more third parties ECR may contract with to display all or part of the Advertiser’s Equipment listing or otherwise provide promotional or other services related to ECR’s business.  Further, Advertiser agrees that ECR may reproduce in whole or in part any photographic material supplied by Advertiser in the promotion of the Equipment or the promotion of the Platform.  In the event that it is determined that Advertiser retains any rights of attribution, integrity or any other moral rights in any User Contributions, Advertiser hereby declares that it does not require that any personally identifying information be used in connection with the User Contributions or any derivative works thereof and that Advertiser has no objection to the publication, use, modification, deletion or exploitation of the User Contributions by ECR or its affiliates. 
   • Limitations on Communications and Use of Customer’s Information.
     • Advertiser agrees that, with respect to Customer’s personal information that Advertiser obtains directly or indirectly from or through the Platform or through any Platform-related communication or transaction, ECR grants to Advertiser a license to use such information only for: (a) Platform related communications that are not unsolicited commercial messages, (b) using services offered through the Platform, and (c) inquiring about or otherwise facilitating a financial transaction between Advertiser and the Customer related to the purpose of the Platform. Any other purpose will require express permission from the Customer.  Advertiser may not use any such information for any unlawful purpose or with any unlawful intent.

            (2) In all cases, Advertisers must give Customers an opportunity to remove their information from the Advertiser address book or database or other records and a chance to review what information Advertiser has collected about them. In addition, under no circumstances, except as defined in this section, may Advertiser disclose personal information about a Customer to any third party without both ECR’s consent and the consent of the Customer. Further, Advertiser agrees that it will protect Customer’s personal information with the same degree of care that it protects its own confidential information (using at minimum a reasonable standard of care), and Advertiser assumes all liability for the misuse, loss, or unauthorized transfer of such information.

• Fees, Payment Terms.
  • Subscription Fees. Advertiser shall pay ECR the fees and expenses set forth in the applicable order between Advertiser and ECR.  Payment will be as set forth in the applicable order form, generally by major credit card or debit card, Stripe, Paypal, e-check or similar, on an annual automatic and recurring basis. A valid credit card must remain on file at all times.
  • Automatic Renewal of Subscriptions. For any subscription paid for by credit card, such subscription shall automatically renew at the expiration of the then-current term for an additional term of the same duration (as the previous term) and at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate.  Automatic renewal applies to all subscriptions purchased by credit card or e-check.  The automatic renewal feature allows your service to remain uninterrupted at the expiration of your then-current term. If Advertiser wishes to turn off auto-renewal, Advertiser must log on to its account and manually turn off auto-renewal, prior to expiration of the then-current term. Requests received via email, voicemail, or other correspondence do not constitute a valid opt-out. Upon any such turning off auto-renewal, your subscription will remain active through the expiration of your then-current subscription term, however your subscription will not be automatically renewed upon the expiration of your then current term. If the subscription does not auto-renew or expires at the end of the then current subscription term and Advertiser desires to renew the subscription, Advertiser will be required to pay the then-current non-promotional subscription rate to renew the subscription or to activate a new subscription. If Advertiser does not turn off auto-renewal, Advertiser re-affirms and authorizes ECR to charge the credit card at the end of each subscription term for an additional term of the same duration as the initial term and at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate for the same product or service.  ECR intends to send reminder emails, prior to the expiration of the term, with regard to the subscription end date and automatic renewal.
  • Non-Subscription Listings.  If ECR enables Advertiser to list or promote Equipment on a basis other than by subscription, Advertiser agrees to pay the fees, if any, as described in the sign-up process.  The sign-up process and additional notices Advertiser may receive from ECR may also provide additional terms and conditions for such listings.
• Representations, Warranties and Disclaimers. In addition to any other representations in this Agreement, Advertiser represents and warrants to ECR that: (a) Advertiser has the full right, power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations and grant the rights, licenses, consents and authorizations it grants or is required to grant under the Agreement; (b) the Agreement will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against Advertiser in accordance with its terms; and (c) ECR will at all times comply with all applicable laws.
