Terms of Use

§ 1 Scope

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern access to and use of the Ixplor platform.

The platform is intended exclusively for companies, business users, and persons acting in a professional capacity, and not for consumers.

By accessing or using Ixplor, you agree to these Terms.

If you use Ixplor on behalf of a company or other organisation, you represent that you are authorised to bind that entity to these Terms.

§ 2 Platform Services

Ixplor provides a digital platform on which companies can create workspaces, publish products, manage structured trial requests, communicate with other companies, and use related platform features.

The specific scope of features, the availability of individual functions, and the technical configuration of the platform may change at any time.

Certain features may depend on third-party services and may only be available subject to their availability and technical compatibility.

Basic access may be offered free of charge. Paid or advanced features may be introduced, activated, changed, or withdrawn separately.

Ixplor operates independently and has no partnership, affiliation, or data connection with major search engines or their operators.

§ 3 Acceptable Use

1. You may not use Ixplor for unlawful, misleading, infringing, abusive, or fraudulent purposes.

2. You may not scrape, crawl, harvest, copy, reverse engineer, or automatically extract data from the platform except where this is expressly permitted by law or by Ixplor in writing.

3. You may not upload malware, interfere with security, attempt unauthorised access, impersonate others, or use the platform for spam or other disruptive conduct.

4. You may not misuse chats, uploads, product listings, trial requests, or any other platform features in a way that harms Ixplor, other users, or third parties.

5. You must comply with all applicable laws, export controls, sanctions rules, and industry-specific regulatory requirements relevant to your use of the platform.

§ 4 Accounts, Workspaces, and Security

1. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when registering or using a company workspace.

2. Each company is responsible for the users it invites, the roles and permissions it assigns, and the actions carried out through its workspace.

3. Login credentials must be kept confidential and may not be shared with unauthorised persons. You are responsible for all activities carried out through your account unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

4. Registration alone does not create any payment obligation unless expressly agreed otherwise through a separate order, subscription, or written offer.

5. Ixplor may verify, restrict, or require correction of account or workspace information where necessary for security, compliance, or platform integrity.

§ 5 User Content and Trial Requests

1. Users and registered companies are solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and completeness of the data, content, and trial-related information they provide.

2. Ixplor does not continuously review submissions but reserves the right to review, modify, restrict, or remove content that violates applicable law, third-party rights, these Terms, or platform policies.

3. Product data, prices, availability, performance claims, and trial conditions must be accurate, up to date, and not misleading.

4. You may only upload or use text, images, logos, videos, documents, and other materials if you hold the necessary rights, permissions, or licences.

5. By submitting content to Ixplor, you grant Ixplor a limited, non-exclusive right to host, process, reproduce, and display that content to the extent necessary to operate, secure, and improve the platform.

§ 6 Role of Ixplor

Ixplor acts solely as the operator of the platform.

Ixplor is not the seller, reseller, distributor, importer, exporter, logistics provider, escrow agent, or contracting party for agreements concluded between users or companies through the platform.

Trial arrangements, shipping, returns, confidentiality, commercial terms, warranties, regulatory compliance, and product suitability remain solely the responsibility of the participating parties.

§ 7 Intellectual Property and Licence

All rights in the platform software, design, trademarks, databases, and platform content, excluding user content, are owned by Ixplor or its licensors.

Subject to these Terms, Ixplor grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the platform for your internal business purposes.

Except where expressly permitted by law or by Ixplor in writing, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sublicense, commercially exploit, or create derivative works from the platform or its non-user content.

§ 8 Suspension and Termination

Ixplor may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to accounts, workspaces, or platform features with immediate effect if there is a breach of these Terms, suspected fraud or abuse, a security risk, unlawful conduct, a legal requirement, or a need to protect the platform, other users, or third parties.

Ixplor may also suspend or discontinue accounts or features for maintenance, operational, compliance, or technical reasons.

Provisions that by their nature are intended to survive termination remain effective after termination.

§ 9 Liability

1. Use of the Ixplor platform is at your own risk. The service is provided "as is" in its current technical state.

2. Any liability of Ixplor is excluded unless mandatory legal provisions require otherwise. Liability for intentional or grossly negligent conduct remains only to the extent that it cannot be legally excluded.

3. Liability for indirect or consequential damages, including loss of profit, data loss, business interruption, or reputational damage, is excluded.

4. Ixplor does not own, operate, or supply any physical devices or equipment. All devices, prototypes, or systems exchanged, tested, or connected between companies through the platform are the sole responsibility of the respective providers and operators. Ixplor assumes no liability for product defects, malfunctions, or damages arising from the use or integration of such external hardware, software, or third-party content.

5. Ixplor strives for high service availability but cannot exclude temporary interruptions or data delays. No guarantee is given for uninterrupted access, complete data integrity, or specific business results.

§ 10 Changes to the Platform and Terms

Ixplor may modify, expand, restrict, or discontinue the platform, individual features, or these Terms at any time.

Material changes will be communicated on the platform or by other appropriate means.

Continued use of the platform after such changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

§ 11 Data Protection

Ixplor processes personal data exclusively in accordance with applicable data protection law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to the extent required for operating the platform and related services. Further details are available in the Privacy Policy.

§ 12 Final Provisions

1. The law, venue, and any mandatory statutory protections applicable to these Terms depend on the legal region identified for your use of the Services and any binding commercial terms made available to you.

2. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights that cannot legally be excluded or restricted.

3. If any provision of these Terms is invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.

§ 13 Operator

Note: Ixplor is currently in the process of forming a registered company.

Platform content and functionality may continue to evolve as the service is expanded.
