Site Process

12. Buyers and Vendors
    
    All Vendors of services are herein referred to as "Vendors". All buyers of services are herein referred to as "Buyers." You are responsible for verifying the identity of Buyers or Vendors and for your decision to enter into a transaction with a Buyer or Vendor. We will have no obligation for and we undertake no obligation to verify the credit rating of, or other information with respect to, any Buyer or Vendor and we make no representation or warranty to you with respect to any Buyer or Vendor or their services.


13. Xbridge's role in the transaction
    
    Xbridge is not, with the exception of Business Insurance and Factoring/Invoice Discount requests, involved in the actual transaction between the buyers and vendors. As a result, Xbridge has no control over the quality, fitness for purpose or legality of the services advertised, the truthfulness, completeness or accuracy of the listings, the ability of the vendors to sell the services or the terms and conditions of any transaction between a buyer and vendor. We cannot ensure that a buyer and vendor will complete a transaction.


14. Xbridge's role in insurance transactions
    

    For Insurance requests Xbridge is involved with the transaction between the Buyer and insurer and operates a "delegated authority" with respect to the provision of specific types of business insurance.

    These types of insurance include, but are not limited to, small business insurance, self-employed insurance; residential landlords' insurance and professional indemnity insurance.

    For the types of insurance that we offer under this delegated authority we are subject to the regulation of the Financial Services Authority. Xbridge's FSA number is 313348. Please refer to www.fsa.gov.uk/register for up to date details of the extent of our authority.



15. Transaction
    
    The Site allows Buyers to prepare quotes for Vendors, who may respond to such quotes with a price quotation. For the avoidance of doubt, the provision of a price quotation on the Site shall not be binding on a Vendor and is not an offer to enter into a contract.

    In the event that a Buyer desires to purchase, Xbridge shall supply the contact details of the Buyer to the Vendor and the remainder of the sale process shall be completed in accordance with the arrangements made between the Buyer and the Vendor, and shall not be the responsibility of Xbridge.

    Xbridge is not a party to the actual transaction between the Vendors and Buyers and as a result, Xbridge has no control or responsibility for the ability of Vendors to sell, or Buyers to buy, services listed on the Site.



16. Delivery of and Payment for Services
    
    

    Buyers are responsible for paying amounts due and for accepting delivery of all services sold through the Site, and Vendors are responsible for invoicing and collecting amounts due (including all applicable taxes incurred in respect of services sold or purchased on the Site) and for delivering all services sold through the Site.

    Xbridge is not responsible for any breach by a Vendor or Buyer of the terms of any transaction or associated transaction-related activities. You agree to proceed solely against the applicable counterparty to collect or recover any amounts owing to you or to enforce any of your rights in connection with or as a result of transactions entered on the Site, and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release Xbridge from any and all such actions.

Provision of Personal Details

17. Your Password
    
    You will receive a user name and password upon completing the registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the user name and password, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your user name or password. You agree to (i) immediately notify Xbridge of any unauthorised use of your user name or password or any other breach of security, and (ii) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session.


18. Your Payment details
    
    Where Xbridge takes your bank account/credit card payment details for the payment of financial services/insurance, we only do so with your authorization. We use 128-bit encryption, as well SSL certificates, wherever we do this, in order to protect your data. However we are not responsible for misuse of your data if it has been provided to us as a result of your negligence, inaction or fraud.
