Your Information

  2. You warrant that the information that you provide to us under clause 2 is accurate and up to date, and you agree to notify us if the information is no longer accurate or up to date.

  4. We do not guarantee or represent that we will refer any leads to you. We reserve the right to modify the basis on which our system matches suppliers with potential leads or the basis on which we refer leads to suppliers in any way we see fit, and you acknowledge that this may mean that no leads are referred to you at all.
