Resourced is a Business to Business (B2B) exchange marketplace to allow user companies to offer and bid upon underutilised resources.
Resourced has no ownership or responsibility over the resources traded through Resourced, and is not involved in the actual transaction between Clients and Service Providers. The contract for the sale is directly between Client and Service Provider. Resourced is not a party to the transaction and is not a traditional auctioneer.
While we may provide guidance in the administration of the System, such guidance is solely informational and you may decide to follow it or not. While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes through various programmes, RESOURCED has no control over, and does not guarantee the existence, quality, safety or competence of, resources advertised; the truth or accuracy of users' capability, experience or feedback; the ability of Service Providers to sell their resources time; the ability of Clients to pay for the Resources manhours; or that a Client or Service Provider will actually form a Transaction.

In forming a Contract on the Resourced Platform all Users agree that you enter a binding agreement of Confidentiality between the Service Provider and Client on any particular agreement. All information loaded onto the Platform as part of the execution of a Service shall be considered “Confidential Information”. Within the Platform any user may be considered a “Discloser” or “Receiver” of Confidential Information. This excludes information:
a) at the time of disclosure to the Recipient, publicly available or subsequently becomes so, otherwise than as a result of any breach of this Agreement by the Recipient or its Related Persons or any other obligation of confidentiality owed by the Recipient or its Related Persons to the Discloser;
b) known to the Recipient before the date it is disclosed by the Discloser or its Related Persons or is lawfully obtained by the Recipient after that date, other than from the Discloser or any of its Related Persons and which, in either case, has not been obtained in violation of any obligation of confidentiality to the Discloser;
c) independently discovered after the date of this Agreement by the Recipient or its Related Persons without the aid, application or use of any Confidential Information; or
d) approved for release upon the prior written permission of the Discloser;
The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by an order of any court of competent jurisdiction or any competent judicial, governmental, regulatory, or supervisory body or by the rules of any listing authority or stock exchange or by the laws or regulations of any country with jurisdiction over the affairs of the Recipient or the Discloser. In such cases, the Recipient shall (to the extent permitted by law, regulation, order, or rule and reasonably practicable) inform the Discloser of the full circumstances and the information required to be disclosed and consult with the Discloser as to possible steps to avoid or limit disclosure.
If the Discloser so requests in writing, the Recipient shall return to the Discloser or destroy all original and copy documents containing Confidential Information and analyses, studies, compilations, and other materials derived from the Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the provisions contained in this paragraph, the Recipient shall be entitled to retain one copy of each item of Confidential Information solely for the purposes of its records.
No representation or warranty is made or given as to the accuracy or the completeness of the Confidential Information or as to the reasonableness of any assumptions on which any of the same is based, and the Recipient agrees, for itself and on behalf of its Related Persons, with the Discloser, for itself and for each of its Related Persons, that (without prejudice to any liability for fraud) neither the Discloser nor any of its Related Persons shall have any liability to the Recipient or to any of its Related Persons resulting from the use of Confidential Information.
This Agreement shall not be construed as evidencing any intent to contract and either party may choose not to enter into a business or contractual relationship with the other or may enter into similar discussions or contractual relationships with third parties regarding Confidential Information which it has disclosed under this Agreement.
Disclosure by one Company hereunder to the other of Confidential Information confers no proprietary rights on the other and is only for the purposes of this Agreement. In particular (without limitation) it is agreed that this Agreement does not require either Company to develop, announce or deliver any product and no licence is hereby granted directly or indirectly by either party to the other under any patent, trade mark, copyright or other intellectual property right now held by, or which may be obtained by, or which is or may be licensable by it.
The Recipient shall not use the Confidential Information or development based upon any Confidential Information (whether or not the obtaining of such was within the scope of Service) for applying for or gaining any registered intellectual property right in any country.
To the extent that the Recipient is in breach of its obligation in this paragraph, the Recipient shall hold any such right or application therefore on trust for the Discloser.
Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that any Company may have, the Recipient (for itself and on behalf of its Related Persons) acknowledges and agrees that damages alone would not be an adequate remedy for any breach by the Recipient or any of its Related Persons of the provisions of this Agreement, and that the remedies of injunction and specific performance as well as any other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of the provisions of this Agreement by the Recipient and/or any of its Related Persons would be more appropriate remedies and that no proof of special damages shall be necessary for the enforcement of this Agreement.
This Agreement or any provision thereof may be amended only with the mutual consent of the Companies hereto as set forth in a written instrument, signed by a duly authorized officer of each Company, and expressly stating the Companies intent to amend this Agreement.
No failure by either Company in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall constitute a waiver by such Company of any such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further exercise of any such right, power or privilege.
Resourced will sometimes release products and features that we’re still testing and evaluating (‘Beta Services’). Beta Services are labelled ‘alpha’, ‘beta’, ‘preview’, ‘early access’ or ‘evaluation’ (or with words or phrases with similar meanings) and may not be as reliable as Resourced’s other services.

Resourced only shares information about users with third parties if this is necessary for the provision of the Services or if Resourced is legally or contractually entitled to do so.
Upon expiry of this User Agreement, we will delete the information you provided, or which was generated through your use of the System from your Resourced account.

Resolution of Complaints
In this Clause “Damage” can be classified as:
a) Client costs associated with the correction of any mistake associated with the Services including engineering, cost of equipment, cost of installation;
b) Cascaded cost associated with delay such as any Liquidated Damage costs the Client may be subjected to due to the Services provided;
c) Client costs directly related to the remediation of any mistake in the Services;
d) Any legal costs or fines directly caused by the Services provided.
The following cannot be considered as Damages under the Terms of this agreement:
a) Reputational damage and any loss of earnings owing to the mistake of the Service Provider;
b) Cascaded damages including impact upon associated plant caused directly or indirectly by the mistake of the Service Provider;
c) Loss in production directly or indirectly caused by a mistake in the Service.
If a Client provides valid evidence that the Service Provider has not met the threshold of reasonable care in the execution of the Services and has led to Damage being caused to the Client the Client is responsible for, including consequential damages, ("Damage Claim"), the Client can notify RESOURCED and/or seek compensation through the Platform arbitration service (“Arbitration”). The Service Provider will be notified of the Damage Claim and given an opportunity to respond. If the Service Provider accepts the Damage Claim they agree to pay the value of the Damages.
If the Client and Service Provider cannot resolve directly or a Service Provider fails to pay a damage claim, either Party may notify RESOURCED via our Arbitration service. RESOURCED will review the Damage Claim and ask the Parties to provide any required evidence (e.g. through appropriate documents, invoices, or third-party experts) which substantiates the Damage Claim and the Damage Claim amount. The Service Provider will be given the opportunity to respond and provide any relevant counter evidence. If RESOURCED determines, under consideration of the evidence provided, these Terms, and applicable statutory rules on the burden of proof that the Service Provider is responsible for the Damage Claim, the Service Provider shall pay the Client for the accepted damages. Should the Damage Claim not be paid RESOURCED withhold the right to use all legal methods available to recover the cost of the Damage Claim on behalf of the Client. Any outstanding amount shall accrue an interest of 5% of the total value of the Damage Claim per week until fully resolved, payable to RESOURCED.
You agree to cooperate in good faith, provide any information RESOURCED requests, execute documents, and take further reasonable action, in connection with Damage Claims, Member complaints, claims under insurance policies, or other claims related to your provision or use of Services.
Any decisions made by RESOURCED in relation to a Damage Claim do not affect your contractual and statutory rights. Your right to take legal action before a court of law remains unaffected.

Although we use techniques that aim to verify the accuracy and truth of the information provided by our Users, User verification on the internet is difficult. Resourced cannot and does not confirm, and is not responsible for ensuring, the accuracy or truthfulness of Users' purported identities or the validity of the information which they provide to us or post on our sites.
Regardless of the previous paragraphs, if we are found to be liable, our liability to you or to any third party is limited to the total aggregated cost paid to Resourced by the affected party over 1 calendar year.

You and RESOURCED both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
In simple terms, "non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts" means that if you were able to bring a claim arising from or in connection with this User Agreement against us in court, an acceptable court would be a court located in England, but you may also elect to bring a claim in the court of another country instead. English law will apply in all cases.
If any provision of this User Agreement is held to be invalid, void or for any reason unenforceable, such provision shall be struck out and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
We may assign our rights and obligations under this User Agreement in accordance with the below (but without your prior express consent), provided that we assign the User Agreement on the same terms or terms that are no less advantageous to you.
Headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. We do not guarantee we will take action against all breaches of this User Agreement.
If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release us (and our affiliates and subsidiaries, and our and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
