These Platform Terms and Conditions (Terms) governs your use of the Platform. These Terms form a binding contract between you and us, and shall be deemed to include the rules, guidelines, policies and other terms and conditions applicable to your use of the Platform and any products, services and features that you use or apply for on or through the Platform.

By your use of the Platform and/or by completing your sign-up and using an Olea account (“Account”), you confirm that you have carefully read, fully understood and agreed to each provision of these Terms, particularly those provisions that restrict or exempt liabilities. Any individual that creates an Account and accepts these Terms on your behalf declares, represents and warrants that (i) they have full legal authority to bind you to these Terms; (ii) they have read and understand these Terms; and (iii) they agree, on your behalf, to these Terms.  We may change these Terms (or any of the terms incorporated by reference) from time to time by updating these Terms on the Platform without prior notice to you (subject to Applicable Law) and those changes will apply to your use of the Platform from their effective date. However, if we propose to make any materially adverse changes to these Terms, we will provide 30 days’ advance notice to you via a notification on the Platform and the new Terms will apply to your use of the Platform from their effective date, unless we receive a written objection from you to such changes. If you object to any such material changes to which you have received notice, you should stop using the Platform. To the extent that this may affect any Transactions currently managed or processed using the Platform, the parties will enter into good faith negotiations to either allow your continued use of the Platform on the previous Terms for the purposes of those Transactions or to transition such Transactions away from being managed or processed using the Platform.

Additional terms may also apply to you depending on whether you are accessing the Platform as a Participant, Purchaser or Supplier.
