This agreement is between you and IBCIM.ORG. As a merchant, consumer, or any kind of visitor to the IBCIM.ORG site you agree to the following terms and conditions:
GENERAL GUIDELINES
IBCIM does not endorse any product or services provided by member companies.
Neither does IBCIM.ORG endorse the individual member companies. Participation
in the IBCIM.ORG program does not imply any association between IBCIM.ORG
and the member companies other than participation in the Merchant Certified
program and the established requirements of becoming a member.
MERCHANT CERTIFIED SEAL
It is illegal to use the Merchant Certified seal of approval without
membership or written authorization from IBCIM.ORG. Qualified and paying
members may display the Merchant Certified seal on their website providing
that they maintain IBCIM.ORG membership requirements. The seal will
assure consumers that IBCIM.ORG requirements are met and that the merchant
is dedicated to customer service. The only change allowed to the Merchant
Certified seal is resizing. Any other changes will only be allowed
with written approval. Please contact us in regards to approval.
BILLING
Membership fees will be billed annually until membership is cancelled
by the member by sigining into the member account on the IBCIM.ORG website
and cancelling the membership.
MEMBERSHIP
Membership is for one website only. Membership for multiple websites
must be made by establishing multiple accounts. IBCIM.ORG reserve the
right to change or add to the membership requirements at any time. IBCIM.ORG
will do a review of the merchant site at the time of applying for membership
to ensure that membership requirements are met but will not do continuous
monitoring and as such will not be responsible for any changes that
may take place after the time of membership. The merchant is responsible
for maintaining membership standards. Neither does IBCIM.ORG require
that the merchant is a registered company and will not do company registration
certifications. IBCIM.ORG reserve the right to deny any merchant membership
for any reason.
COMPLAINTS
Any consumer filing a complaint must first attempt to resolve the issue
with the merchant. Only after seeking resolution with the merchant may
a complaint be filed. All complaints filed must be reasonable and professional.
Any complaints containing foul language will automatically be disregarded
and not taken seriously. If a complaint is filed IBCIM.ORG will if requested
serve as an intermediate between the merchant and the consumer. By participating
in the Merchant Certified program the merchant's obligation is to respond
to such mediation. Any participation is voluntary. The merchant is under
no circumstances forced to comply with any demands from the consumer
and is ultimately responsible for the outcome of such mediations. Mediation
will only serve as a last resort of any conflict between a merchant
and a consumer. Merchants are strongly encouraged to abide by traditional
and reasonable internet business and refund practices. Furthermore,
member merchants are not obligated to follow any advice or suggestions
from either IBCIM.ORG or any consumer but are strongly urged to seek
resolution in any matter put forth to them.
INDEMNITY
Any merchant is responsible for their own business and business practices
including websites and customer service policies. You agree to indemnify
and not hold us responsible for any claims arising from the use of the
IBCIM.ORG membership. IBCIM.ORG will under no circumstance be liable
for any damages or losses incurred from the use of this website or from
information provided through this website.
TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
A merchant may terminate this agreement by sending an email to IBCIM.ORG
stating that membership is cancelled. IBCIM.ORG reserve the right to
terminate any membership at any moment and for any reason. After termination
of membership the member must with immediate effect remove the Merchant
Certified logo from their website.
OTHER
By using this website you further agree to any other information, including
rules and regulations, that are posted on this website but are not included
in this agreement.
