TERMS OF AGREEMENT
INTRODUCTION
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.
CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS
You may cancel your membership at any time. There will be no charges
for memberships within the free three month trial. No refunds will
be given after the three months have been reached.
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.
