1. Our service and these terms
StockSOS is a business-to-business platform designed to help buyers discover inventory and suppliers, request quotations, and manage related orders. Supplier features may include business profiles, inventory listings, photos and videos, responses to sourcing requests, and business tools. Availability varies by account, location and feature. StockSOS Reach includes tools for sharing eligible public listings; automated distribution and advertising are offered only when expressly made available and separately authorized.
These Terms apply to visitors and users of StockSOS. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you act for a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that business. If you do not agree, do not use the service. Additional terms may apply to particular services and will be presented where applicable.
2. Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least [minimum age and applicable business eligibility, to be confirmed] and able to enter the relevant agreement. Provide accurate and current information, use an email address you can access, and protect your credentials. You are responsible for actions taken through your account, subject to applicable law. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. We may ask for email verification, business details or other appropriate information, and may approve, restrict or reject access when reasonably necessary to protect users, meet legal requirements or enforce these Terms. Review or approval is not a guarantee about a user or product.
Do not impersonate another person or business, use another person’s account without authorization, or supply false documents. You may not circumvent access controls, registration restrictions or technical limits.
3. Listings and marketplace conduct
Suppliers are responsible for their business details and listings, including product descriptions, photographs, video, ownership or permission to use content, condition, price, currency, quantity, location and availability. Suppliers must keep listings accurate and remove or update unavailable, unsafe, misleading, infringing or unlawful products. Buyers must provide accurate sourcing requirements and use quotation and enquiry features in good faith.
Do not list prohibited goods, infringe intellectual property, deceive users, harass others, scrape or overload the service, introduce malicious code, interfere with transactions, or use the service in violation of applicable law. StockSOS may remove or restrict content, investigate complaints and suspend access where reasonably necessary, subject to applicable law and any required notice or appeal.
4. Requests, quotations and orders
A buyer may create a sourcing request that is presented to matched suppliers. A supplier may submit an offer containing price, quantity, delivery availability and other details. A buyer can review and accept an offer; the service then creates an order record. The parties are responsible for confirming the terms, availability, delivery or pickup, applicable taxes, and any legal or regulatory obligations. [Counsel and owner to specify when a binding sale contract forms, the contracting parties, and StockSOS’s role in each market.]
StockSOS does not guarantee a match, a quotation, product quality, lawful sale, delivery time, supplier performance, or transaction completion. Location, inventory, matching and search results can be incomplete or inaccurate. Users should independently check important details before relying on them.
5. Prices, fees and payments
The applicable price, currency, delivery charges, taxes and any platform fees should be reviewed before an order is placed. [Specify who calculates and collects taxes, charges, invoicing and currency conversion.] Subscription prices and benefits, where offered, will be disclosed before purchase. Online checkout and subscription billing are currently paused in the reviewed code; do not assume payment is available until the service clearly enables it.
If payments are enabled, a third-party payment provider may process payment under its own terms. A redirect, screenshot or unverified message is not confirmation of payment. We do not promise escrow, stored value or a payout service unless separately disclosed and lawfully provided. Any paid advertising or recurring charge requires the applicable user authorization and disclosed terms.
6. Delivery, cancellations, returns and disputes
Buyers and suppliers are responsible for agreeing on delivery or pickup, inspecting goods where appropriate and promptly reporting problems. Estimates are not guaranteed unless the supplier expressly agrees otherwise. Cancellations, returns, refunds and dispute procedures depend on the order terms and applicable law. See [link to final refund and cancellation policy]. Nothing in these Terms removes mandatory consumer or other statutory rights. [Owner and counsel: specify deadlines, responsibilities, remedies and support process before launch.]
7. Search, voice and external channels
Search, voice recognition and automated interpretation help users prepare requests and find listings; they can make mistakes. Review recognized text, quantities, locations, results and order details before submitting or relying on them. Native speech recognition may be provided by your browser or device. Optional server transcription, if enabled and selected, uses a third-party service as described in the Privacy Policy.
Sharing a listing through another platform opens or uses that platform’s services and terms. StockSOS does not promise advertising placements, rankings, reach, leads or sales. Direct publishing, catalog synchronization and paid campaigns require separate availability, permissions, consent and any disclosed charges.
8. Content and intellectual property
You retain rights to content you submit. You grant StockSOS a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt for technical formatting, and distribute that content as needed to operate, secure and promote the service and the listings you choose to make public, subject to your settings and applicable law. Where you choose an external sharing or distribution feature, you authorize the relevant content to be shared as directed. This license lasts for the period needed for those purposes, including reasonable backups and legal retention. You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed to grant it. [Counsel: review scope and termination.]
StockSOS and its licensors retain rights in the service, branding and software. Except as permitted by law or authorized in writing, do not copy, resell, reverse engineer or misuse them. Third-party names and marks belong to their owners.
9. Suspension and termination
You may request account closure through [accessible contact method]. We may suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, nonpayment of valid charges, or a material breach, with notice and an opportunity to address the issue when appropriate and legally permitted. Closure does not necessarily delete records that must be retained for security, disputes, accounting or legal reasons. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination continue to apply.
10. Disclaimers and liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided on an “as available” basis. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free availability. Nothing excludes liability or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. [Counsel: select and draft enforceable warranty disclaimers, liability limitations, exclusions, caps and any indemnity, taking account of business and consumer laws in each market. Do not publish this placeholder.]
11. Changes, governing law and contact
We may update these Terms as the service or law changes. We will provide notice where required and state when changes take effect. [Counsel and owner: specify notice period, governing law, dispute-resolution procedure and courts, without overriding mandatory local rights.] For questions or complaints, contact [legal entity and accessible contact details]. The current in-app support form requires sign-in; provide a public contact method before publication.
