Terms and Conditions

These terms govern your use of the Eurabelt Fuels Ltd agreements portal at https://agreements.eurabeltfuels.eu.

1. Who we are, and what this portal is

1.1 This portal is operated by Eurabelt Fuels Ltd ("we", "us", "the Company"), a company registered under number 16639303, whose registered office is at Flat 11 Clothier House, Kinveachy Gardens, SE7 8EF, London, United Kingdom. Our registry entry can be checked at Companies House.

1.2 The portal exists to issue, seal, transmit, verify and archive Introducer Agreements and Product Schedules, to receive registrations of introductions, and to publish the register of designated representatives. It is an instrument of corporate compliance and record-keeping. It is not a trading platform, an exchange, a marketplace, a brokerage or a payment service.

1.3 These terms are provided in accordance with the information requirements of the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002.

1.4 Precedence — read this first. A sealed Introducer Agreement or Product Schedule is a contract in its own right. Nothing on this website, and nothing in these terms, varies, waives, supplements or overrides any sealed instrument. Where these terms and a sealed instrument conflict, the sealed instrument prevails absolutely. These terms govern only your use of the website.

2. Acceptance and precedence

2.1 By accessing the portal you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use it.

2.2 If you access the portal on behalf of an organisation, you warrant that you are authorised to bind that organisation, and these terms bind you both.

2.3 We may amend these terms. The version in force is the one published here at the time of your use, and the date above records when it last changed. Material changes affecting a party to a sealed instrument will be notified by email to their address of record.

2.4 These terms are written for business users. Where any part of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 applies to you as a consumer, nothing here excludes or limits rights you have under it which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

3. Permitted use

3.1 You may use the portal to:

• read, verify and print instruments issued to you;
• record an electronic attestation where you are the named counterparty;
• register introductions under an attested Product Schedule;
• verify the authenticity of an instrument or a representative;
• read the published legal and policy pages.

3.2 Staff areas are restricted to authorised personnel of the Company and are protected by credentials. Access is logged.

4. Prohibited use

4.1 You must not:

1. access, or attempt to access, any part of the portal you are not authorised to use, or any account, token, link or record belonging to another person;
2. share, forward, publish or resell an attestation link issued to you — those links are single-use and personal;
3. probe, scan, penetration-test, reverse engineer or interfere with the portal or the servers on which it runs;
4. introduce any malware, or attempt to circumvent any security, rate-limiting or authentication measure;
5. scrape, harvest or systematically extract data, including by automated means, or reuse the register of representatives for any purpose other than verifying an individual you are actually dealing with;
6. alter, forge or reproduce any sealed instrument, seal digest, identification number or verification page, or present an altered document as genuine;
7. hold yourself out as a representative, custodian, director, of the Company unless you hold a current appointment recorded in the register of representatives;
8. use the portal or any document obtained from it to solicit funds, advance fees or payments from any person.

4.2 Conduct under 4.1(3), (4) and (6) may constitute an offence under the Computer Misuse Act 1990, and conduct under 4.1(6) and (7) may constitute fraud. We report suspected offences to the relevant authorities and cooperate fully with their investigation.

5. Accounts, links and credentials

5.1 Attestation links are single-use, time-limited and personal to the named counterparty. Anyone holding the link can act on it — treat it as you would a signing appointment. Do not forward it.

5.2 If you believe a link or credential has been disclosed, tell us at compliance@eurabeltfuels.eu at once. We will invalidate it and issue a replacement.

5.3 An attestation recorded through a link issued to you is binding on you. We record the declared name, the UTC timestamp, the originating IP address and the browser signature as evidence of the act.

6. Sealed instruments and electronic execution

6.1 The Company executes instruments by electronic seal applied in the name of the company, not by the signature of any individual. This follows the treatment of electronic seals of legal persons under Regulation (EU) 910/2014 (eIDAS), its retained UK equivalent, section 7 of the Electronic Communications Act 2000, and the approach to execution otherwise than by individual signature in the Companies Act 2006.

6.2 A counterparty executes by electronic attestation, which is an electronic signature for the purposes of Article 25 of eIDAS and section 7 of the Electronic Communications Act 2000.

6.3 You agree not to dispute the validity, admissibility or enforceability of any instrument solely on the ground that it was executed in electronic form.

6.4 Each sealed instrument carries a seal digest and a content hash. Any alteration to the text, the parties or the reference invalidates the seal and will be reported as such by the verification page.

7. Verification services

7.1 The verification pages confirm that an instrument exists on our register, that its recorded seal recomputes, and what its current status is. They confirm nothing else.

7.2 A confirmation is not a warranty as to the commercial merits of any transaction, the solvency or conduct of any party, or the outcome of any dealing. It confirms provenance and integrity only.

7.3 The register of representatives confirms a person's standing and the limits of their authority. It does not endorse them personally and does not extend their authority by so much as an inch beyond what is published there.

7.4 If a verification page reports that a seal does not verify, that an identifier is unknown, or that a representative has been withdrawn, do not act on the document. Contact compliance@eurabeltfuels.eu.

8. Uploads and content you submit

8.1 You warrant that anything you submit is accurate, is yours to submit, does not infringe any third-party right, contains no malware, and does not include personal data of others unless you have a lawful basis to provide it.

8.2 You grant us a licence to store, process, transmit and reproduce what you submit strictly for the purposes of operating the portal, performing the Agreement, meeting our compliance obligations and defending legal claims.

8.3 We may refuse, remove or quarantine any submission. Files are type-checked and fingerprinted on receipt; a file whose stored bytes later stop matching its recorded fingerprint is withheld and the event logged.

8.4 Do not submit price, volume, allocation, specification or other commercial terms through the registration forms. Those matters are outside an introducer's role under Clause 4.2 of the Agreement.

9. Intellectual property

9.1 The portal, its design, text, instruments, templates, the Eurabelt Custodial Order device and the Eurabelt Fuels Ltd name and marks are owned by or licensed to the Company and protected by the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and equivalent laws.

9.2 You may print or download an instrument issued to you for your own records and professional advice. You acquire no other right.

9.3 You must not use our name, marks or device in any marketing, solicitation, capital-raising, social media post, domain name, business name or public statement without prior written consent from the Office of Compliance.

10. Communications channel

10.1 Every named individual at the Company — custodian, representative, director, or advisor — writes from firstname.lastname@eurabeltfuels.com and from no other address. Compliance, legal and system-generated correspondence comes from the Company's other official domains.

10.2 We do not Verify or Onboard Counterparties over WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, WeChat or any other instant messaging service, and we do not publish telephone numbers. No message received through such a service constitutes notice, binds the Company, or evidences any authority, however it is presented. This is also a term of every sealed instrument, at Clause 20.

10.3 Correspondence from an address outside the table above is not from us, whatever signature, logo or document it carries.

11. Compliance, sanctions and financial crime

11.1 Use of this portal is subject to, and you must not cause us to breach, the Bribery Act 2010, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, the Criminal Finances Act 2017, the Modern Slavery Act 2015, the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, and equivalent law in any relevant jurisdiction.

11.2 You represent that neither you nor any of your owners, directors, officers or beneficial owners is designated by, owned or controlled by a designated person of, or ordinarily resident in a comprehensively sanctioned territory of, any sanctions authority — including those administered by HM Treasury — Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation and US Treasury — OFAC.

11.3 We screen counterparties and may suspend access, withhold any payment and report to competent authorities where we consider it necessary, without notice to you where the law so requires.

12. Availability and changes

12.1 We aim to keep the portal available but give no guarantee of uptime. It may be suspended for maintenance, security or legal reasons, with or without notice.

12.2 We may add, alter or withdraw features. Sealed instruments already issued are unaffected: their text and seal are fixed at the moment of sealing and do not change when the portal does.

13. Disclaimers and liability

13.1 The portal is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law we exclude all implied warranties, conditions and terms.

13.2 Nothing excluded that cannot be. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited — including under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977.

13.3 Subject to 13.2, we are not liable for loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, loss of anticipated compensation, loss of goodwill, loss or corruption of data, or any indirect or consequential loss, however arising.

13.4 Subject to 13.2, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with your use of the portal shall not exceed GBP 1,000. This limit is separate from, and does not affect, any limitation in a sealed instrument, which governs liability under that instrument.

13.5 No offer and no advice. Nothing on this portal is an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any commodity, security or financial instrument, nor is it investment, legal, tax, accounting or financial advice. Take your own professional advice before acting.

13.6 We are not responsible for the content, security or availability of any external site, including sites linked from our legal pages for reference.

14. Indemnity

14.1 You will indemnify us against all losses, liabilities, fines, penalties, claims and reasonable costs (including legal costs) arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the portal, any unauthorised representation you make about the Company, or any regulatory or sanctions consequence attributable to you.

15. Privacy and cookies

15.1 Our handling of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy, and our use of cookies in the Cookie Policy. Both form part of these terms.

16. Suspension and termination

16.1 We may suspend or withdraw your access at any time, without notice, where we reasonably suspect a breach of these terms, a compliance or sanctions concern, or a threat to the security or integrity of the portal.

16.2 Suspension of portal access does not by itself terminate any sealed instrument. Termination of an instrument is governed by its own Clause 19.

16.3 Clauses 4, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 17 and 18 survive.

17. General

17.1 Entire agreement. These terms, with the Privacy and Cookie Policies and the Legal Disclaimers, are the entire agreement between us as to your use of the portal, subject always to Clause 1.4.

17.2 Severance. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable it is severed or modified to the minimum extent necessary and the rest continues in force.

17.3 Waiver. No delay in enforcing a right waives it.

17.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights. We may assign to an affiliate or successor.

17.5 Third parties. No person other than you and us has any right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term.

17.6 Language. English governs. Any translation is for convenience.

18. Governing law and disputes

18.1 These terms and any non-contractual obligation arising out of them are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

18.2 Where you are a party to a sealed instrument, disputes are resolved under that instrument's dispute resolution clause — good-faith discussion, then arbitration under the LCIA Arbitration Rules, seat London, United Kingdom, one arbitrator, in English, subject to the Arbitration Act 1996.

18.3 Otherwise, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, save that we may seek urgent injunctive relief in any competent court.
