This form is used to establish an agreement along with associated terms and conditions for a Vendor to access information and/or services from a Vendor Exchange.
The Hawaii Vendor Exchange Member Agreement is a comprehensive contract that outlines the terms and conditions between Hawaii Vendor Exchange (HAVE) and its members. This agreement serves as a binding legal document governing the relationship between HAVE and vendors who wish to participate in their platform. The Hawaii Vendor Exchange is a cutting-edge online marketplace that connects vendors from various industries with potential customers and buyers from Hawaii. By joining HAVE, vendors gain access to a broad customer base, allowing them to showcase their products or services in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The member agreement ensures that both HAVE and vendors understand their rights and obligations within the platform. It covers essential aspects such as vendor eligibility requirements, registration and account management, fee structure, liability and indemnification, intellectual property rights, and termination conditions. By joining the Hawaii Vendor Exchange, vendors are granted exclusive access to the platform, which includes a vendor dashboard enabling them to list and manage their products or services. The agreement specifies that vendors must meet certain criteria for eligibility, such as providing accurate information about their business and complying with all applicable laws and regulations. The agreement also includes details on the vendor registration process, highlighting the need for accurate and up-to-date information. Vendors are responsible for maintaining and securing their account details, including their login credentials, to ensure the security of their information and the integrity of the platform. To make use of the Hawaii Vendor Exchange platform, vendors must comply with the agreed-upon fee structure outlined in the member agreement. This may include membership fees, transaction fees, or any other applicable charges. The agreement clarifies the payment terms, frequency, and methods to avoid any confusion or disputes. To protect both HAVE and its vendors, the member agreement addresses liability and indemnification. It stipulates that vendors are solely responsible for their products or services, including any claims, damages, or losses resulting from their use or consumption. Vendors are also required to hold HAVE harmless from any disputes arising in connection with their offerings. Intellectual property rights are carefully outlined within the member agreement to safeguard the rights of vendors and HAVE. It establishes that vendors retain ownership of their intellectual property, while granting HAVE a limited license to display and promote their offerings on the platform. Lastly, the agreement includes provisions on termination, outlining the circumstances under which either party may terminate the agreement. This ensures that both HAVE and vendors have a clear understanding of the conditions that could lead to the discontinuation of their partnership. While the Hawaii Vendor Exchange Member Agreement is a standard contract applicable to all vendors on the platform, there may be specific agreements or addendums tailored for individual industries or sectors. For instance, if there are different categories of vendors, such as food and beverage, retail, or professional services, there might be industry-specific guidelines and regulations that apply to each type of vendor. Thus, customization and additional agreements may be required to address these unique requirements and ensure compliance within each sector.
