Last updated: 27.01.2025
1.0 Terms of Site Use
This page (together with the documents referred to on it) tells you the terms of use on which you may make use of our website, www.maritimeintelx.com (the “Site”), whether as a guest or as a registered user. Please read these Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Site. By using our Site, you indicate that you accept these Terms of Use and that you agree to abide by them. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, please refrain from using our Site.
2.0 Information About Us
maritimeintelx.com is a site operated by Maritime IntelX Limited (“Maritime IntelX,” “we,” or “us”). We are registered in [England and Wales] under company number 10229926 and have our registered office at 108 Cannon Street, London, EC4N 6EU, GBR.
Maritime IntelX provides a website platform for facilitating the supply of marine fuel between platform users and fuel suppliers.
3.0 How Maritime IntelX Works
Maritime IntelX is a platform that introduces individuals or entities who wish to purchase marine fuel for their vessels (“Customers”) to suppliers that specialize in the supply of marine fuel on that basis (“Suppliers”). We make it easy for Customers to find Suppliers that can fulfill their marine fuel requirements and to utilize our trading system to obtain competitive prices. If the Customer agrees, the Customer and Supplier will enter into a supply agreement directly. Such supply agreements are made exclusively between Customers and Suppliers. Maritime IntelX collects a fixed, pre-agreed commission from the Supplier for the introduction.
Customers and Suppliers share the responsibility for ensuring that transactions made on the Site are completed without complications. They are entirely and solely responsible for the accuracy of the Terms and Conditions registered by their respective companies. Maritime IntelX accepts no liability for these transactions and acts only as a facilitator. All claims relating to a transaction will be resolved between the Customer and the Supplier.
Customers and Suppliers are responsible for complying with all laws and regulations applicable to the sale and shipment of marine fuel. Maritime IntelX’s obligation is limited to bringing the parties together for the purpose of entering into a supply agreement. Maritime IntelX disclaims all liability arising from or related to any supply agreement to the fullest extent permitted by law.
4.0 Suppliers and Fees
Maritime IntelX is not responsible for the conduct of any prospective Customer during the negotiation of any supply agreement.
Suppliers accept that any decision to provide a service to a particular Customer is made solely by the Supplier without any representation, warranty, or statement made to them by Maritime IntelX.
If you are a Supplier, you make an offer via Maritime IntelX to a Customer who will either accept or reject the offer via the Site. If the offer is accepted, the Supplier and the Customer will enter into a supply agreement under specific terms negotiated between both parties.
By joining Maritime IntelX, Suppliers agree to pay a pre-agreed fixed fee in USD per metric tonne of marine fuel supplied to Customers that have been introduced via Maritime IntelX. Payment is due 30 calendar days after issuance of the invoice unless otherwise stated.
Suppliers are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with our Site, services, and tools by the due date. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms, including retaining collection agencies or legal counsel. Additionally, we may suspend or restrict your use of our Site, services, and tools until full payment is made.
We may choose to temporarily change the fee for our services during promotional events or for new services. Such changes are effective when posted on the Site or within our applications. Suppliers will be notified of any fee changes in advance.
5.0 Trading Commitment
Both Customers and Suppliers are responsible for reading the full marine fuel listing, including any additional terms provided by either party, before:
5.1 The Customer accepts an offer made by the Supplier.
5.2 The Supplier accepts a “Firm Counter” or “Target Price” made by the Customer.
Unless otherwise stated, the scenarios in Clauses 5.1 and 5.2 commit Customers to purchase the fuel from the Supplier, and commit Suppliers to supply the fuel to the Customer under the stated Terms and Conditions.
If you make a commitment under Clauses 5.1 or 5.2, you enter into a legally binding contract with the other party, obligating you to purchase or supply the marine fuel, respectively. If the marine fuel is not purchased due to the Customer’s fault, cancellation fees may apply as per the Supplier’s Terms and Conditions. Maritime IntelX assumes no liability in any dispute. If the marine fuel purchase is not finalized due to the Supplier’s fault, Maritime IntelX also assumes no liability for any disputes or claims. Maritime IntelX may attempt to assist in resolving disputes or claims but carries no liability whatsoever.
Both the Customer and Supplier agree that the final settlement of the payment for the marine fuel will be conducted directly between them, without the involvement of Maritime IntelX, since Maritime IntelX is merely a facilitator.
Suppliers submit offers under the Terms and Conditions declared during the offer process. Any change to those Terms and Conditions after the Customer’s confirmation is considered invalid.
By using Maritime IntelX to access the database of Suppliers and obtain offers, Customers agree not to accept offers from these Suppliers outside of the Site without prior written agreement from Maritime IntelX.
Customers and Suppliers are responsible for arranging their own insurance coverage for their property and for the marine fuel purchase and supply, as normally required by industry practices. If you have any doubt about the insurance required, you should consult your insurer or insurance broker.
Customers must ensure the requested marine fuel grade and quantity meet their requirements. Maritime IntelX does not warrant that marine fuel is fit for a Customer’s purposes or free from any defect.
Suppliers are responsible for the legality, accuracy, and completeness of their posted offers and related terms. Maritime IntelX disclaims liability for any inaccuracies in offers submitted by Suppliers or for any proposed contract that fails to complete for any reason.
6.0 General Terms
Maritime IntelX does not provide, nor claim to provide, advice or advisory services (including but not limited to commercial, financial, or legal advice) to Customers, Suppliers, or any third parties in relation to any supply agreement. Maritime IntelX’s role is limited solely to that of a facilitator.
Maritime IntelX reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to remove from the Site any content that is illegal, inaccurate, or misleading, including anything that may be injurious to Maritime IntelX’s goodwill or the goodwill attaching to the Site, without notice.
Maritime IntelX makes no warranty as to any particular outcome being achieved or obtained from the use of the Site or the introduction of any prospective Customer to a Supplier.
