2. SCOPE OF PLATFORM

2.1 Our Platform connects businesses which wish to buy, lease or sell goods and/or services in the construction & marine industry respectively. We do not supply such goods and/or services to you, and all goods and/or services are sold or leased directly from the party supplying the goods and/or services (the “Supplier”) to the party purchasing or leasing the same (the “Customer”). By submitting a purchase order in response to a listing for supply or leasing of goods and/or services on the Platform by a Supplier (a “Listing”), the Customer is entering into a contract directly with the Supplier on the terms and conditions set out on the Listing and any other terms as may be mutually agreed between the Supplier and the Customer (a “Contract”)

2.2 All Customers and Suppliers remain solely responsible for the proper performance of their obligations under a Contract. In the event of any dispute or complaint arising between Customers and Suppliers, parties are responsible for seeking recourse directly against the relevant parties to the Contract. We are not obliged at any time to adjudicate on any such matter, and shall not have any obligation to be involved in any disputes arising out of the terms or any Contract or any communications between Customers and Suppliers via the Platform.
