1. SELLER REPRESENTATIONS
1.1 You represent and warrant to us that:
(a) you are at least 18 years of age;
(b) you possess the legal right and ability to enter into a legally binding agreement with ATEW and a User with respect to any Product or Voucher sold or offered by you on the Site; and
(c) you will use the Site in accordance with these Seller Terms and Conditions.
2. OUR RELATIONSHIP
2.1 ATEW provides a Site whereby you may advertise Products and Vouchers for sale to Users. Users may order and purchase those Products and Vouchers from you, as a Seller. Users do not purchase any Products or Vouchers from ATEW directly and ATEW simply acts as a limited agent for you and the User, for the following purposes only:
(a) facilitating the purchase of Products or Vouchers from you by Users;
(b) providing a payment gateway between the Users and you the Seller;
(c) deducting the Partner Fee payable to ATEW for use of the site; and
(d) providing the Support Services (as described below) in respect of issues arising between you and Users, in relation to the supply of Products or Vouchers.
3. ACCOUNTS AND APPLICATION FORMS
3.1 You agree that in order to offer Products or Vouchers for sale on the Site, you must have an online account with ATEW which is accessible via AllThingsEcoWise.com and will be established with you and ATEW (“Account”).
3.2 You will be responsible for all usage of your Account and the use of your Account by others (including your employees, officers or agents) or any unauthorised use. You must immediately advise us if you become aware of unauthorised use. Your user name and password for your Account are non-transferrable and must be kept confidential. You must ensure that your registration details are true and accurate at all times.
3.3 At the time an Account is set up, and at such other times as required by ATEW, Sellers must complete a seller application form containing the details of the Products and/or Vouchers that will be offered for sale on the Site, and certain other information as requested by ATEW from time to time on the form (“Seller Application Form”). Once you submit a Seller Application Form to ATEW, we will contact you to confirm if we accept the Seller Application Form, what changes or additions are required to be made to the Seller Application Form before we accept it, or if we have rejected the Seller Application Form. We may reject a Seller Application Form at any time in our sole and absolute discretion and prohibit you from creating an Account on the Site.
3.4 Once we accept a Seller Application Form, we will permit you to list your Products and Vouchers for sale to Users on the Site. If you are asked by us to complete a new Seller Application Form, then this will override any prior form completed by you.
3.5 Either at the time of completing a Seller Application Form or at such other time as notified to you by ATEW in our sole discretion, we will confirm to you our commission which we will deduct from all sales which you make through the Site (“Commission”). This will typically follow the displayed plans unless otherwise agreed. We may also update our Commission by written notice to you at any time. Any updated Commission will only apply to new orders of your Products and Vouchers, but not existing orders.
3.6 All Sellers must have a PayPal Business Account to use the Site and enable their Seller Application Form approved and be able to list Products on the Site. This is the primary form of payment distribution used by ATEW.
4. LISTINGS
4.1 When you list a Product or Voucher for sale on the Site, you must include all information as required by ATEW about you and the relevant Product or Voucher. Such information may include (without limitation):
(a) your name, address and contact details;
(b) the total price payable by the Users for the Product(s) and/or Voucher(s), including (but subject to clause 4.2) all delivery costs and charges (“Sale Price”);

4.2 If at the time of sale of a Product, the Seller is unable to determine the delivery charges to the User or provide an accurate estimate of the delivery charges (due solely to conflicting or inaccurate information supplied by the User), then the Seller may subsequently notify the User of new accurate delivery charges once an order is placed but before it is dispatched (“Delivery Fee”). If the User rejects the Delivery Fee then the sale will be cancelled and the User will receive a refund. If the User accepts the Delivery Fee then the sale will proceed, and the Sale Price will be deemed to include the Delivery Fee.
4.3 ATEW relies on information provided to it by each Seller in connection with the Products and Vouchers, and each Seller warrants that any information provided by it is accurate, current, complete, correct and complies with all applicable laws.
4.4 ATEW will not be liable for any mistake or misrepresentation made by you in connection with the Products and/or Vouchers or contained in a Seller Application Form, and you indemnify ATEW for and against any loss, cost (including legal fees on a full indemnity basis), damage, expense, or claim (including for negligence) suffered or incurred by ATEW in connection with your misrepresentation, mistake, infringement of any person’s rights (including in respect of intellectual property rights), or breach of law in connection with the sale of the Products and/or Vouchers.
