Terms of Service

1. The Services

NetworkCP lets consumer brands describe their supply chain needs, see recommended partners and a network map, message our team, and, once live, monitor operations. Recommendations, distances, freight estimates and costs shown in NetworkCP are estimates for planning only; partner quotes and signed agreements control.

2. Accounts

• You must give accurate information and keep it current.
• You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping access to your email secure, since sign-in links are sent there.
• You must be authorized to act for the company you register.
• We may suspend or close accounts that violate these terms.

3. Your content

You keep ownership of the information and files you submit ("Your Content"). You grant NetworkCPG a license to use Your Content to provide the Services, including sharing your requirements with prospective partners as described in our Privacy Policy and with your consent. You confirm you have the rights to submit Your Content and that it does not violate anyone else's rights.

4. Partner information and non-circumvention

Partner identities, contacts, pricing and other partner information we share with you are NetworkCPG confidential information. You agree to use them only to evaluate and work with partners through NetworkCPG and, for 12 months after we introduce a partner, not to bypass NetworkCPG to contract directly with that partner for the same scope without our written consent.

5. Paid services and referral fees

Network Design, Network Build, Integration & Deployment, and Network Operating Management are provided under a separate proposal or order form, which sets the scope, fees and payment terms. When we place volume with a partner, we may earn a referral fee from that partner; we disclose this in our proposals.

NetworkCP deposit. To activate a network build in NetworkCP, a brand pays a one-time deposit of $500 (USD) through PayPal. The deposit is non-refundable, including if you stop using the Services, and is credited in full toward the fee to release your network build under your proposal or order form. Payments are processed by PayPal under PayPal’s terms; NetworkCPG does not receive or store your card or bank details.

6. Partners are independent

Manufacturers, packaging suppliers, 3PLs, carriers and other partners are independent businesses. NetworkCPG does not manufacture, store or transport products and is not responsible for partners' performance, products, certifications or compliance. Your agreements with partners are between you and them.

7. Acceptable use

• Do not misuse the Services, try to access another company's data, probe or bypass security, or interfere with the Services.
• Do not upload unlawful content, malware, or information you are not permitted to share.
• Do not copy, scrape or resell the Services or our partner network.

8. Intellectual property

The Services, including NetworkCP, the partner network database, software, designs and content (excluding Your Content), are owned by NetworkCPG and protected by law. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Services for your internal business purposes while your account is active.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NETWORKCPG DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ESTIMATES OR MATCHES WILL BE ACCURATE OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NETWORKCPG WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE OR DATA. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE FEES YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR $100.

11. Indemnity

You will defend and indemnify NetworkCPG against third-party claims arising from Your Content, your products, or your breach of these terms.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Services and ask us to close your account at any time. We may suspend or end access if you breach these terms. Sections on partner information, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity and governing law survive termination.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The state and federal courts in Cook County, Illinois have exclusive jurisdiction.

14. Changes

We may update these terms. We will post the new version here and update the date above; material changes take effect 30 days after posting or when you accept them, whichever is earlier. Continued use means you accept the updated terms.
