Article 2. Account and use

1. Stocklinq is a B2B platform. Only businesses and their authorised contacts may use an account.
2. We may review an application before granting access. The User must keep account and company details accurate and current and keep login credentials confidential.
3. The platform is intended for trade inventory and collections in Home & Living.

Article 3. Listings, bids and deals

1. Sellers are responsible for accurate and complete listings and may not offer illegal, stolen or otherwise unlawful goods.
2. A Buyer’s bid is a binding offer. If the Seller accepts the bid, a purchase agreement is formed through the platform for the offered lot and price. The Buyer is then obliged to take delivery and pay; the Seller is obliged to deliver according to the deal arrangements. Stocklinq records bids and accepted bids to support fulfilment.
3. Stocklinq may make messages, deal information and practical details available to support careful fulfilment between the parties.

Article 4. Free start, subscriptions and commission

1. A user can start without a paid subscription. Stocklinq may also offer optional subscription tiers with additional functionality; changes are agreed with the user manually.
2. Stocklinq may charge a platform commission for a successful deal. The applicable commission and any subscription price are communicated in advance or with the relevant arrangement.

Article 5. Payment and delivery

1. Payment for goods and delivery are arranged between Buyer and Seller according to their chosen payment and delivery arrangements. Stocklinq does not process payments between them.
2. Where platform commission or subscription charges are due, Stocklinq invoices them separately according to the arrangement made.

Article 6. Permitted Use and Intellectual Property

1. The Seller may not offer goods that are illegal, stolen or otherwise unlawful.
2. The Seller remains the owner of all uploaded photos and product descriptions.
3. The Seller grants Stocklinq a free licence to use, reproduce and display this content for offering and operating the Platform.

Article 7. Role of Stocklinq

1. Stocklinq acts solely as an intermediary and facilitates the platform, bidding and deal workflow, communication and administrative support. Stocklinq is not the buyer, seller, commission agent or a party to the purchase agreement between Users.
2. Buyer and Seller remain fully responsible for their mutual arrangements, payment, delivery, product quality, product information, compliance with laws and regulations, and their handling of data received for a deal.
3. Stocklinq does not verify or guarantee the accuracy of listings, the quality or suitability of offered goods, or Users’ performance of their obligations.

Article 8. Liability

1. Because Stocklinq acts solely as an intermediary, Stocklinq is not liable for any damage arising from or related to the purchase agreement or other arrangements between Users, including but not limited to defects in goods, inaccurate or incomplete product information, non-delivery or late delivery, non-payment or late payment, or disputes between Buyer and Seller.
2. Stocklinq is not liable for the content of listings, messages or other information posted by Users, nor for Users’ acts or omissions.
3. To the extent Stocklinq would nevertheless be liable in connection with the Platform or Stocklinq’s own services, that liability is limited to the amount the User has paid to Stocklinq in the 6 months preceding the damage claim (subscription and/or commission). This limitation does not apply in case of intent or wilful recklessness by Stocklinq.
4. Stocklinq is not liable for indirect damage, consequential damage, lost profit, loss of turnover, or damage due to technical failures, interruptions or unavailability of the Platform.

Article 9. Applicable Law and Disputes

2. Disputes shall be submitted exclusively to the competent court in the Netherlands.
