1. Agreement to these terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Zinit ("Zinit," "we," "us," or "our") and apply when you access or use zinit.com, a Zinit application, or any related service (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms.
If you use the Services for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization. If you or your organization has a separate order form, subscription agreement, master services agreement, or other signed contract with Zinit, that agreement controls to the extent of any conflict.
2. Eligibility and accounts
You may use the Services only if you have legal capacity to enter into these Terms and your use is permitted by applicable law.
- You must provide accurate, current, and complete account information.
- You are responsible for safeguarding credentials and for activity performed through your account.
- You must promptly notify Zinit if you believe an account or credential has been compromised.
- You may not transfer an account or allow unauthorized users to access the Services.
3. Acceptable use
You may use the Services only for lawful business purposes. You must not:
- violate applicable law, another person's rights, or contractual obligations;
- upload malicious code, interfere with security, disrupt the Services, or attempt unauthorized access;
- misrepresent your identity, authority, bids, sourcing events, products, services, or other material information;
- use the Services to harass, discriminate, defraud, exploit, or harm another person;
- copy, scrape, reverse engineer, resell, or commercially exploit the Services except as expressly permitted by law or a written agreement with Zinit; or
- use data obtained through the Services for an unrelated purpose or in a way that violates privacy, confidentiality, procurement, competition, or anti-corruption requirements.
We may investigate suspected misuse and may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect users, Zinit, or the Services.
4. Your data and content
You retain ownership of data, documents, bids, specifications, messages, and other content that you submit to the Services ("Customer Content"). You grant Zinit a limited right to host, process, transmit, display, and otherwise use Customer Content only as necessary to provide, secure, support, and improve the Services, comply with law, and fulfill our contractual obligations.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the rights, notices, and lawful basis needed to submit Customer Content. Our handling of personal data is also described in the Privacy Policy.
5. Zinit materials and intellectual property
The Services, including their software, interfaces, designs, documentation, trademarks, and other Zinit-provided materials, are owned by Zinit or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms and any applicable written agreement, Zinit grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Services for their intended purpose.
If you provide feedback, you allow Zinit to use it without restriction or compensation, provided we do not identify you publicly without permission.
6. Third-party services
The Services may link to or interoperate with third-party products, websites, identity providers, or platforms. Third parties govern their own services, terms, and privacy practices. Zinit is not responsible for third-party services that it does not control.
7. Fees and commercial terms
Fees, taxes, payment timing, subscription periods, renewal, and cancellation rights are set out in the applicable order form, plan, or other written agreement. Unless that agreement says otherwise, fees already due are non-refundable to the extent permitted by law.
8. Availability and changes
We may maintain, update, or change the Services over time. We do not guarantee that every feature will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free. Material service commitments, support levels, and remedies are governed by an applicable written agreement.
9. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except for express commitments in a signed agreement, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available." Zinit disclaims implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
Zinit provides technology that supports procurement and sourcing workflows. Users remain responsible for their sourcing decisions, supplier diligence, bids, awards, contracts, regulatory obligations, and transactions with other users.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Zinit will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity arising from or related to the Services.
Any additional liability limits, exclusions, or remedies in a signed agreement apply. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
11. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Services at any time, subject to any applicable subscription or written agreement. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially breach these Terms, create a security or legal risk, fail to pay amounts due, or use the Services in a way that could harm Zinit, another user, or a third party.
Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including provisions about ownership, confidentiality, disclaimers, liability, and disputes.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Services, law, or our operations. We will post the updated version on this page and change the "Last updated" date. If a change materially affects your rights, we will provide any additional notice required by law or an applicable agreement.
13. General
If a provision of these Terms is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without Zinit's written consent; Zinit may assign them as part of a merger, reorganization, sale of assets, or by operation of law.
Governing law, venue, and dispute-resolution terms in an applicable signed agreement control. If no separate agreement applies, these matters will be determined under applicable law.
