1. Access to the Website
1.1 By using this website you accept our terms of use which shall take effect immediately on your first use of this Website. If you do not agree to be legally bound by all the following terms please do not access and/or use this website.
1.2 Import.de may change parts of these terms of use at any time by posting changes online. Therefore users must review our terms of use regularly to ensure they are aware of any changes made. Your continued use of this website after changes are posted means you agree to be legally bound by these terms as updated and/or amended.
2. Service of the Website
2.1 Import.de provides its buying companies (Importers) access to a directory (database) containing worldwide suppliers (Exporters) and acts as the venue for users to locate companies to trade with. Importing companies are able to contact these Exporters directly or to send enquiries about a specific product via our Website. These enquiries will be forwarded to several suitable Exporters on a Pay-Per-Lead basis.
2.2 Advertisers (Exporters) whose application has been accepted will appear on any category to which they have applied. Advertisers who also signed up for the Pay-Per-Lead service pay a specific amount to receive an enquiry (lead). Advertisers may set a maximum number of leads they would like to receive each week during the subscription to this service. Import.de does forward enquiries to up to five advertising companies registered in the respective product category. Receiving an enquiry (lead) therefore does not automatically mean that an advertiser will close a contract with a buying company. The decision whether or not an Importer will trade with an Exporter is completely up to the enquiring companies.
2.3 Import.de is not involved in the actual transaction between trading partners and does not guarantee that an enquiring company will actually buy any goods. Import.de has no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items being traded, the truth or accuracy of the item listings or the ability of traders to fulfill their obligations in a trade agreement. Import.de cannot and does not control whether or not traders will complete their part of a trade.
