Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing the Global Sourcing Engine ("GSE," "we," "our," or "us") website, submitting an inquiry, requesting a quote, or using our services, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the website or submit a request.

These terms apply to website use and preliminary inquiries. Any signed quotation, purchase order, statement of work, supply agreement, or other written agreement between you and GSE will control if it conflicts with these website terms.

2. Service Description

GSE provides business sourcing, procurement support, supplier identification, quotation coordination, logistics coordination, and related commercial support across categories including construction materials, raw materials, clean energy solutions, hospitality sector goods, automotive parts, consumables, and other commercially requested products.

Unless a written agreement states otherwise, the website is informational and does not itself create a binding supply contract, purchase obligation, exclusivity arrangement, agency relationship, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship.

3. User Responsibilities

Users are responsible for:

• providing accurate, complete, and current inquiry information;
• confirming product specifications, quantities, standards, certifications, import requirements, and delivery requirements before purchase;
• using the website and services only for lawful business purposes;
• complying with applicable import, export, sanctions, customs, anti-bribery, anti-corruption, tax, product safety, and procurement laws;
• not submitting requests involving illegal, counterfeit, stolen, restricted, unsafe, sanctioned, or otherwise prohibited goods or transactions.

4. Quotes, Pricing, and Availability

Website content, product categories, example goods, estimated timelines, and other information are provided for general informational purposes only. They do not guarantee availability, suitability, pricing, delivery, or supplier acceptance.

Quotes are based on information available at the time they are prepared and may change due to supplier availability, market conditions, shipping costs, duties, taxes, currency changes, compliance checks, or updated specifications. Payment terms, deposits, cancellation rules, and delivery terms will be stated in the relevant quote or written agreement.

5. Suppliers, Products, and Due Diligence

GSE may work with third-party suppliers, manufacturers, logistics providers, inspection providers, consultants, or other commercial partners. Unless a written agreement states otherwise, third-party goods and services remain the responsibility of the relevant third party.

You are responsible for reviewing product samples, specifications, certifications, standards, warranties, insurance, permits, and legal requirements before placing an order. GSE may assist with coordination, but we do not guarantee that a product is suitable for a particular purpose unless expressly agreed in writing.

6. Compliance and Restricted Requests

We may decline, suspend, or cancel any inquiry or transaction that we believe may violate applicable law, sanctions, export controls, supplier policies, platform policies, ethical standards, or these terms. You agree not to use GSE services to obtain goods for unlawful resale, diversion, restricted end use, or prohibited end users.

You are responsible for providing accurate end-use, destination, importer, consignee, and compliance information when requested.

7. Website Forms and Security

Our website uses contact and quote forms protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, server-side validation, honeypot fields, and rate limiting. You must not attempt to bypass, interfere with, test, overload, scrape, spam, or abuse the website, forms, hosting infrastructure, email delivery service, or security controls.

8. Intellectual Property

All website content, text, layouts, logos, graphics, designs, source code, and other materials are owned by or licensed to GSE and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may view and use the website for legitimate business inquiry purposes only. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, or exploit website content without written permission.

9. Third-Party Links and Services

The website may link to third-party websites, privacy policies, providers, suppliers, or services. We do not control third-party websites or services and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, terms, privacy practices, products, or performance.

10. Disclaimers

The website and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, GSE disclaims warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted availability, and error-free operation unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, GSE will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, business interruption, loss of data, procurement delays, supplier failures, customs delays, or reputational harm arising from website use or preliminary inquiries.

Nothing in these terms limits liability where liability cannot legally be limited.

12. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GSE from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses arising from your breach of these terms, inaccurate information you provide, unlawful use of the services, or violation of applicable laws or third-party rights.

13. Privacy

Your use of the website and inquiry forms is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, share, retain, and protect personal information.

14. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Changes are effective when posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the website after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
