Member User Agreement > Incorporated Terms - Product Syncing Terms

The terms below are incorporated into, and form an integral part of, the Solarek Studio Member User Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed them in the Member User Agreement. Any breach of the terms below will be deemed a material breach of the Member User Agreement.

1. Audience.
   The terms below apply to brands, distributors, vendors, or suppliers (hereafter referred to as "Supplier") that manage and share their products (hereafter referred to as "Synced Products") with other members (i.e. retailers, sales reps, etc.) via the Bridge Service. Synced Products are products that are managed by the supplier and shared with members on a permission basis.
2. Intent & Responsibility.
   The Supplier recognizes that members rely on these Synced Products, including for receiving orders, helping customers, and general business decisions. As such, the Supplier agrees to maintain the data with the same care it would data on its own website.
3. Initial Setup.
   Solarek Studio (hereafter referred to as "Bridge") agrees to provide Supplier with a Bridge account through which it can add, edit, and delete Synced Products.
   
   Supplier agrees to pay a one-time set up charge of $329.
4. Maintenance.
   Supplier agrees to maintain and update Synced Products in its account, including:
   • Product names
   • Retail and wholesale prices
   • Collection (pattern) organization and descriptions
   • Product and collection pictures
   • Dimensions (optional)
   • Stock (optional)
   • Other supported data (optional)
   For example, if a price change is needed for a Synced Product, Supplier will make this update. If a new item is released, Supplier will add this item and a picture for this product. Supplier may choose to upload product stock to its Bridge. This enables friended businesses, when logged in, to view stock levels for products.
5. Pricing.
   Supplier agrees to enter retail prices in Bridge that are consistent and not higher than normally listed on comparable websites. This 'favored nation' clause helps ensure that prices entered into Bridge are not more than on other non-Bridge sites and that Bridge members are not at a disadvantage.

6. Promotion.
   Bridge agrees that Supplier may promote your participation in Bridge. In turn, Supplier agrees that Bridge may promote Supplier's participation in the Bridge. Supplier agrees that Bridge may use its logo in materials used to promote Bridge.

7. Syncing Synced Products & Membership.
   Bridge agrees that Supplier decides with which business it may sync products and use Supplier's intellectual property (i.e. images). Bridge or Supplier may decide to not offer Bridge to a client for any reason.

8. Cost of Service to Receivers of Synced Products.
   Supplier agrees that Bridge sets the price it charges other businesses to share data and participate in the Bridge service.

9. Cost of Service to Supplier.
   Supplier agrees to pay monthly per brand for the Bridge Synced Product-syncing service. Sharing products with another business is referred to as 'syncing.' Pricing is charged by synced business.

   PRICING PER BRAND:
   Sync with up to 25 businesses: $35/month
   Sync with up to 75 businesses: $105/month
   Sync with up to 150 businesses: $210/month
   

   Please inquire about pricing for additional plans. If Bridge wishes to change pricing, it agrees to give Supplier a 30-day notice. To see features that accompany plans, see pricing page: http://www.shoplocal.org/pricing.cfm?brands

10. Intellectual Property.
    Supplier retains rights to the intellectual property entered by it into Bridge. Supplier gives Bridge permission to use its intellectual property for the purpose of Bridge's services, including for the purpose of sharing its content (products, news, etc).

11. Termination of Synced Products Service.
    Supplier agrees to give Bridge a 90-day notice before removing Synced Products with the purpose of termination. Supplier acknowledges that removing synced products before such time may negatively affect Bridge and its members and will harm their ability to conduct business.

12. Indemnity.
    Supplier agrees to not hold Bridge responsible for any mistakes that it makes in updating Supplier's data. Supplier agrees to 'proof' all data entered in Bridge either directly by Supplier or by Bridge on behalf of Supplier. Supplier agrees to indemnify Bridge for any mistake, including but not limited to pricing errors.
