Around Trade, Inc. — Terms of Service

Effective Date: October 15, 2025

1. Acceptance of These Terms

Welcome to Around Trade, a platform operated by Around Trade, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our”).
By creating an account, accessing, or using our services at around.trade (the “Platform”), you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”).
If you’re using the Platform on behalf of a company or organization, you’re agreeing to these Terms for that entity and confirming that you have authority to do so.

If you don’t agree, do not use the Platform.

2. Who We Are

Around Trade, Inc. is a Delaware corporation with its principal offices in San Mateo County, California, USA.
We build and operate a digital platform for companies to manage and share product, brand, and company information with their trading partners.

3. Definitions

In these Terms, “Downstream” refers to any other organization that receives product, company, or brand information through legitimate business sharing on the Platform — for example, buyers, importers, distributors, resellers, or their subsequent trading partners who access the information as part of normal supply-chain activity.

4. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Platform.
Each user account belongs to a person, but users may belong to or act on behalf of organizations (tenants).
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and passwords.

If your organization invites you to join its workspace, your use is also subject to its internal policies and permissions.

5. Multi-Tenant Organizations and Team Accounts

Each organization (“Company”) on the Platform has its own workspace that may include multiple user accounts.
The organization owns all data, uploads, and permissions within its workspace.
We are not responsible for disputes between organization members or administrators regarding data access, role changes, or ownership.

When you join a company workspace, your data and activity may be visible to other members of that company.

6. Content You Upload

You (or your company) own the intellectual property rights to the content you upload, including product data, images, packaging details, certifications, or other business materials (“Content”).

However, by uploading Content to Around Trade, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to:

host, store, reproduce, and display your Content on the Platform;
make it visible to other users and organizations with whom you or your authorized partners share it, including any Downstream organizations; and
use it as needed to operate, improve, or promote the Platform and to enable multi-level sharing across the supply chain.

You also grant us the right to share company information (such as company profiles, brand details, certifications, and logos) within the Platform and with Downstream organizations where appropriate for network visibility and collaboration.

We may remove or restrict Content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

7. Record Creation and Ownership Claims

Some company, brand, or product records on Around Trade may be created by organizations acting as importers, distributors, or other trading partners rather than by the original manufacturer or brand owner.
If the original manufacturer or brand owner later joins the Platform and claims ownership of a record, Around Trade may transfer administrative control of that record to the verified owner.

The organization that originally created the record retains rights to its own uploaded materials (such as images, specifications, or descriptions), but grants Around Trade a continuing license to maintain and display those materials as part of the record history and for the operation of the Platform.

Around Trade does not arbitrate ownership disputes beyond its verification and claim process.
If a dispute arises, we may restrict or remove access to affected records until it is resolved.

8. Use of the Platform

You agree to use the Platform only for lawful business purposes and in compliance with these Terms.
You may not:

access or attempt to access other users’ data without authorization,
upload malicious code or engage in activity that disrupts others, or
resell or commercially exploit the Platform without our permission.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts for misuse or violation of these Terms.

9. Data Rights and Privacy

Our Privacy Policy (available on our website) explains how we collect, use, and share personal data.
By using the Platform, you agree to those practices.

Where applicable (for users in the United States, Thailand, and Japan), we comply with relevant privacy and data protection laws and may transfer data internationally as needed to operate our services.

10. Service Availability and Changes

We aim to provide reliable service but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
We may update, modify, or discontinue parts of the Platform at any time.
We are not liable for loss or corruption of data due to outages, maintenance, or other service changes.

11. Intellectual Property

All software, interfaces, and content we create or provide (excluding your uploaded Content) remain the exclusive property of Around Trade, Inc.
You may not copy, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of our code or design without written permission.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Platform at any time.
We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or applicable law.
After termination, your organization’s data may remain available to its administrators or authorized users, but your individual access will end.

13. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Platform is provided “as-is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

In no event shall Around Trade, Inc. or its officers, employees, or affiliates be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including lost profits or data.

Some jurisdictions (including Thailand and Japan) may not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability will be limited to the maximum amount permitted by local law.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, excluding its conflict of law principles.
Any disputes will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Mateo County, California.
If you’re based in Thailand or Japan, you agree that any local claims must also be subject to this U.S. jurisdiction unless local law prohibits it.

15. International Use

We welcome users from around the world.
You’re responsible for complying with local laws in your country, including export control, data privacy, and trade regulations.
If any provision of these Terms is unenforceable under local law, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

16. Updates to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.
If we make material changes, we’ll notify you by email or in-app notice before they take effect.
By continuing to use the Platform, you accept the updated Terms.
