Terms and Conditions

01 Introduction

These Terms and Conditions govern access to and use of CEVEW Global Business Directory, available at businesses.cevew.com. The platform is a business discovery directory intended to help visitors find and learn about businesses, manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, shops, and service providers across different industries and locations.

Users must use the website lawfully and responsibly. Additional terms may apply to specific services if those services are introduced later and are clearly presented at that time.

02 Acceptance of These Terms

By accessing or using the website, users agree to comply with these Terms and applicable law. Users who do not agree should discontinue use of the website.

Submitting a business listing, creating an account, or using a particular feature may involve additional instructions or terms where applicable. Browsing the website does not automatically create a paid contract or subscription.

03 About CEVEW

CEVEW is a platform designed to facilitate discovery of businesses and business-related information. The directory may display information submitted by business owners, authorized representatives, permitted data providers, and other lawful sources.

CEVEW is not automatically a party to transactions or contracts between users and listed businesses. Any agreement made between a user and a business is subject to the terms agreed between those parties.

04 Eligibility and Authority

Users must have the legal capacity required to use the website and comply with applicable law. Anyone submitting information on behalf of a business must be authorized to do so.

Users must not impersonate a business owner, employee, representative, or another person. Where applicable law imposes age or consent requirements, users must comply with them.

05 Website Access and Permitted Use

Users may browse public listings and use available website functions for legitimate business discovery and other lawful purposes. Permitted activities may include:

• Searching for businesses and suppliers.
• Viewing public business profiles.
• Exploring categories and industries.
• Contacting businesses through available contact methods.
• Submitting accurate listing information through supported forms.
• Requesting corrections to inaccurate information.
• Reporting suspected misuse or misleading listings.

Users must not interfere with website operations or access information in ways that violate applicable law, third-party rights, or these terms.

06 Business Listings and Directory Information

Listings may contain business names, descriptions, categories, industries, locations, websites, contact details, products, services, and other business-related information. Some information may be submitted by business owners or representatives, while other information may come from sources whose use is permitted.

CEVEW may organize, format, categorize, display, update, or remove listing information where appropriate. A listing does not automatically constitute an endorsement, recommendation, certification, partnership, or guarantee by CEVEW.

Listing information may become outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate. Visitors should independently confirm important details directly with the business before relying on them.

07 User-Submitted Content

Users may be able to submit descriptions, business details, product information, images, links, reviews, inquiries, or other content depending on the features available. Users are responsible for ensuring that submitted content is:

• Accurate to the best of their knowledge.
• Lawful and not misleading.
• Relevant to the business or purpose of the submission.
• Submitted with the necessary rights and permissions.
• Free from malicious code and harmful files.
• Respectful of privacy, confidentiality, and third-party rights.

Users must not submit content that unlawfully discloses personal information or confidential business information. Where appropriate, CEVEW may review, edit for formatting, restrict, or remove content that violates these terms or applicable law.

08 Business Owner Responsibilities

Business owners and authorized representatives are responsible for maintaining accurate business information. Responsibilities may include:

• Providing truthful business names and descriptions.
• Using correct contact information.
• Selecting appropriate categories and industries.
• Ensuring they are authorized to represent the listed business.
• Updating information when material details change.
• Obtaining permission to publish photographs, logos, trademarks, and other assets.
• Responding professionally to inquiries received through supported features.
• Avoiding deceptive claims, impersonation, and misleading product descriptions.

Owners should promptly report duplicate, outdated, unauthorized, or incorrect listings. Submitting a listing does not guarantee publication, ranking, verification, or a particular number of leads.

09 Listing Review, Changes, and Removal

CEVEW may review listing submissions and requests where appropriate. The platform may reject, correct, restrict, label, unpublish, or remove content that appears inaccurate, duplicated, unlawful, misleading, unauthorized, abusive, or inconsistent with platform policies.

CEVEW may request reasonable information to establish a requester's authority to claim or change a business listing. To report a problem, users can contact contact@cevew.com.

Removal from CEVEW may not immediately remove information from independent search engines, caches, archives, or third-party websites. Specific processing times should be confirmed only where the platform has an established service standard.

10 Prohibited Activities

Users must not:

• Submit false, fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading business information.
• Create fake listings or impersonate legitimate businesses.
• Claim affiliation with a business without authorization.
• Use the platform to conduct fraud, scams, phishing, or unlawful solicitation.
• Upload viruses, malware, malicious scripts, or harmful files.
• Attempt unauthorized access to accounts, servers, databases, or administrative systems.
• Interfere with website performance, security, or availability.

Violations may result in content removal, restrictions, account suspension, or other lawful action. Automatic penalty systems should be described only if they have been implemented.

11 Intellectual Property

The CEVEW website design, original written content, branding, graphics, software, and other platform materials may be protected by intellectual property laws. Users may access and use public pages for legitimate personal or business research, subject to these terms.

Users must not reproduce, republish, sell, redistribute, or commercially exploit protected CEVEW content beyond what applicable law or express permission allows. Business names, logos, photographs, trademarks, and materials belonging to third parties remain subject to their respective rights.

Users submitting content must own it or have permission to provide and authorize its intended use. Suspected intellectual property infringement can be reported to contact@cevew.com. CEVEW does not claim ownership over trademarks, logos, or content that belongs to other businesses.

12 Third-Party Websites and Businesses

Business listings may contain links to external websites, online stores, social media profiles, supplier catalogues, and other third-party services. CEVEW generally does not control third-party content, product quality, pricing, availability, fulfilment, policies, security, or business conduct.

A link or listing does not automatically imply that CEVEW endorses or has verified the linked business. Users should independently review third-party terms, privacy policies, credentials, product details, and transaction conditions before engaging.

13 Business Inquiries and Marketplace Features

The platform may provide contact methods or, where available, inquiry and quotation-request features to help users communicate with businesses. CEVEW does not automatically act as the buyer, seller, manufacturer, supplier, broker, payment processor, shipping provider, or guarantor in transactions between independent businesses.

Users are responsible for evaluating counterparties, confirming product specifications, checking prices and delivery conditions, and agreeing on applicable transaction terms. Unless a specific service is expressly offered under separate terms, CEVEW does not guarantee:

• The legitimacy of every business.
• The accuracy of every product description.
• Product quality or authenticity.
• Supplier stock or delivery times.
• Payment, refund, warranty, or fulfilment outcomes.
• Successful negotiations or completed transactions.

If payment processing, paid listings, subscriptions, escrow, or dispute-resolution features are introduced, appropriate service-specific terms should be added before making those features available.

14 No Guarantee of Business Results

CEVEW provides discovery and informational tools intended to help people find businesses. The platform does not guarantee:

• Sales or revenue.
• Leads or inquiries.
• Search-engine rankings.
• Listing visibility.
• Customer traffic.
• Business partnerships.
• Supplier reliability.
• Successful negotiations.
• Specific business outcomes.

Results depend on factors outside CEVEW's control, including listing quality, user behavior, market conditions, competition, and external search engines. Directory inclusion should not be interpreted as a certification of quality, solvency, legal status, or professional competence.

15 Privacy and Personal Information

The handling of personal information is described in the CEVEW Privacy Policy, available at businesses.cevew.com/privacy-policy/. Users should review the Privacy Policy before submitting personal or business contact information.

Users must not submit personal information about other people without a lawful basis or necessary authorization.

16 Website Availability and Security

CEVEW aims to provide a useful and accessible service but does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or continuously available operation. Maintenance, technical failures, hosting issues, security incidents, updates, and circumstances outside the platform's control may affect access.

Users must not attempt to compromise the website's security or availability. CEVEW may take reasonable steps to investigate technical problems, respond to security concerns, and maintain service integrity. Specific uptime percentages, recovery times, or security certifications should not be promised unless independently established.

17 Disclaimers

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided on an available and informational basis without guarantees that all information is complete, current, accurate, uninterrupted, or suitable for every purpose.

Implied warranties or statutory rights may not be excluded where applicable law prohibits their exclusion. CEVEW does not automatically endorse listed businesses or independently certify every claim.

Users are encouraged to verify important business details directly and exercise appropriate judgment before making financial or commercial decisions.

18 Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, CEVEW is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses arising from use of the website or reliance on third-party listing information. Examples may include lost profits, lost business opportunities, lost data, or disputes between independent users and listed businesses, where such exclusions are lawful.

CEVEW does not automatically assume responsibility for a business's products, services, representations, fulfilment, payment arrangements, or conduct. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited, including rights or liabilities protected by mandatory applicable law.

Specific monetary liability caps, blanket waivers, or jurisdiction-specific legal rules should be added only after review by a qualified legal professional.

19 Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, a user may be responsible for losses, claims, liabilities, and reasonable expenses arising from the user's unlawful conduct, material breach of these terms, infringement of third-party rights, or unauthorized submissions.

This provision should apply only where legally enforceable and should not attempt to remove non-waivable consumer protections or other mandatory rights. An excessively broad statement that automatically makes users liable for every claim connected with the website should be avoided.

20 Suspension and Termination

CEVEW may restrict access to content or features, remove listings, or suspend accounts where reasonably necessary to address suspected fraud, unlawful activity, security threats, serious policy violations, or legal requirements.

Where appropriate and lawful, CEVEW may provide an explanation or allow a user to submit a correction or appeal. Users may stop using the website at any time. Removing an account or listing may not automatically remove records that must be retained under applicable law or information already copied by third parties.

21 Changes to the Website and These Terms

CEVEW may modify website features, listing processes, content, and these terms as the service develops. The current version of the Terms and Conditions will be available on this page.

Where legally required, CEVEW should provide notice or obtain consent for material changes. Users who continue using the website after a change may be subject to the revised terms to the extent allowed by applicable law.

22 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Because the website may serve users internationally, governing law and dispute procedures must be determined according to the platform operator's actual legal status, location, and applicable law.

Disputes should first be raised through contact@cevew.com so the parties can attempt to resolve them informally where appropriate.

Users do not lose mandatory consumer rights or legal protections available in their jurisdiction because of this section.

23 Severability and General Provisions

If a provision is found unlawful or unenforceable, it should be applied to the extent legally permitted and the remaining provisions should continue where the law allows. A failure to enforce a provision immediately does not automatically mean it has been permanently waived.

These terms and any valid additional service-specific terms govern the relevant use of the website. Users may not transfer rights or obligations where prohibited by these terms or applicable law. No clause in these terms should be interpreted to override mandatory legal protections.
