Welcome to the Terms & Conditions of Bakersby, a website owned and operated by Indiewood Network Ltd. These Terms & Conditions define the legal relationship between our Vendors and our Website at https://www.bakersby.com, as well as any sub-domains, web-based or mobile applications associated with it.

We grant you permission to use the Software and Documentation only for the purpose of accessing and using the Service during the Term. This permission is non-transferable, and we reserve the right to terminate it at any time. Nothing in these Conditions grants you permission or any other right to use our other Intellectual Property Rights.
If we or our agents produce photographs or images of your Products, you may use them only for display on the Site or in printed material produced by us. You may be charged a license fee for using such photographs or images in violation of this clause.
You may not bid on the Site name, our brand or brand name, or variations of them, on Google or any other search engines.
 

24. Your intelectual property rights and statement

You also agree to make any necessary alterations, modifications, or adjustments to the Intellectual Property Rights to make them non-infringing.
If we become aware of any Intellectual Property Rights Infringement Claim by a third party, we will notify you immediately. We will be entitled to take sole conduct of the defence to any claim or action in respect of any Intellectual Property Rights Infringement Claim and may settle or compromise such claim or action at our sole discretion. You agree to provide us with reasonable assistance in the conduct of such defence, including with all court procedures and the provision of all relevant documents.

If we request it, you agree to take conduct of the defence to any claim or action in respect of any Intellectual Property Rights Infringement Claim.

25. Your data

By providing us with any information, data, comments, or images (including Vendor Information), you grant us permission to use, license, disclose, and distribute such content for any purpose. This includes disclosing your information to third-party service providers so that they can contact you directly about their products and/or services.

26. Data protection

We will both comply with all applicable requirements of the Data Protection Legislation. This is in addition to, and does not relieve, remove or replace, yours or our obligations under the Data Protection Legislation.
We both acknowledge that for the purposes of the Data Protection Legislation, we are the data controller and you are the data processor (where Data Controller and Data Processor have the meanings as defined in the Data Protection Legislation). You will process such Personal Data relating to a Customer as may be shared with you via the CMS when such Customer purchases a Product from you through the Site. You will carry out processing of Personal Data of such Customer solely to the extent, and for such period, as is necessary for the purposes of fulfilling the relevant order of the Product by the Customer.

Without affecting the general position set out above, you will, in relation to any Personal Data processed in connection with the performance by you of your obligations under this Agreement:
• process that Personal Data only on our written instructions unless you are required by the laws of any member of the European Union or by the laws of the European Union applicable to you to process Personal.

On becoming aware of any Personal Data Breach you agree to:
• notify us as soon as possible, and in any event no later than 72 hours from your establishing that a Personal Data Breach has occurred;
• provide timely information relating to the Personal Data Breach as it becomes known or as is reasonably requested by us; and

You agree to compensate us in full for any and all liabilities, costs, expenses, fines, damages and losses (including any foreseeable losses, as explained at Clause 4.J.vi above) we incur in connection with any claim arising out of, this clause or paid or agreed to be paid by us in settlement of the claim and all legal or other expenses incurred by us in or about the defence or settlement of the claim. We will notify you in writing as soon as possible after becoming aware of the claim. This clause will survive termination or expiry of these Conditions however they come to an end.
 

27. Marketing and campaigns

We may run promotions on the Site from time to time, in addition to any promotions you run in your Storefront. These promotions may include free delivery, discounts, or other promotional activities for some or all products on the Site. We will inform you of the nature and terms of any promotion, and you can choose whether or not to participate if you are required to bear the costs.
You need to cooperate with all the activities we undertake to promote, sell or market your products, whether directly through the Site, offline publications produced by us, or other websites or publications not produced, owned or operated by us.
We may provide other opportunities for you to market or distribute your products, such as through pop-up stores or specific marketing campaigns. We will give you more information about these opportunities when they arise, and the terms and conditions for each campaign will be shared with any participating Vendor.
 

28. Charges

You are responsible for paying all charges as notified to you by us in accordance with the agreement. Charges are subject to taxes and levies, which you will also be responsible for paying. If you do not pay any amount due to us by the due date, all sums owing to us will become due immediately. We may suspend our performance of obligations under the agreement until satisfactory payment arrangements are made. We may also charge you the cost of obtaining payment or judgment, including legal fees. If you have multiple Storefronts with us, we may offset the sums you owe us against payments due to you.
 

29. Charges explained

The Charges comprise, as relevant and applicable:
• The Subscription Fee;
• The Commission Fee;
• Transaction Fee

The Subscription fee:
We reserve the right to charge you a monthly or annual Subscription Fee inferior, equal or superior to the value stated upon signing up to use our services, depending on your current subscription plan. If we make any amendments to the cost of your subscription plan, we will give you a 30-day notice prior to implementing it. You can choose to close your account and terminate our agreement during this time if you wish to do so.

The Commission fee:
We reserve the right to charge you a Commission Fee equal or superior to the value stated upon signing up to use our services and every time you sell a product (on Commission Based plans). You will be able to see the cost of this fee, on a per product basis, upon creation of a new product on your storefront. This fee currently stands at 18%. If we make any amendments to the fee percentage, we will give you a 30-day notice prior to implementing it. You can choose to close your account and terminate our agreement during this time or to move to a subscription plan.

The Transaction fee:
We use Stripe as our payments processor. Stripe charges a 1.4% fee plus £0.20 on every transaction. This fee will be charged from the total price of your product, every time you sell a product. This fee is charged on all subscription plans.
 

30. How we pay you

As part of your appointing us as your commercial agent (as set out in Clause 6.A of these Conditions), you agree that we also act as your exclusive agent for the purpose of accepting, refunding and/or otherwise processing payment(s) related to the sale of Product(s) by you via the Site (or any other sales channel which we may offer to you from time to time).
Both you and we acknowledge and agree that except as otherwise provided in these Conditions (and in acknowledgement that both parties are businesses), that the duties of an agent implied under the common law are expressly excluded. For the avoidance of doubt, we, acting as your commercial agent, are neither the buyer nor the Vendor of the Product(s) and are not a party to the contract of sale of Product(s) between you and the Customer.
Payment for Product(s) by Customers through the Site will be through payment methods made available from time to time, using our current online payment processing system (Stripe).

You can opt between two payment models:

Bank Transfer:
• If you opt to be paid via bank transfer please provide your bank account details under your bakery manager > Settings > Payment tab.
• Due Payments via Bank Transfer will be made every 1st and every 15th of each calendar month. In order to make payments cleared and available to you, you, the Vendor, will have to fulfil pending order and mark them as delivered.

Stripe Connect:
• You can opt to create a Stripe Account and connect it to your storefront. You can do this under your bakery manager > Settings > Payment tab.
• Payments made this way will automatically be credited in your Stripe Account upon sale of one or more of your products. You are still obliged to fulfil your order and to treat your customer(s) with fairness as per your own terms & conditions, stated on your storefront.

From time to time we may retain a portion of the payment due to you in order to provide for refunds due or expected to be due to a Customer in the ensuing period. If refunds exceed your sales in a particular period, any future payments will be used to clear your negative balance and the difference leftover will be paid when the next payment is due.
You agree to ensure the banking details on your account are kept up-to-date, and you agree to notify us of any changes on the next Working Day. You agree to be responsible for paying any banking charges or other administrative expenses incurred by us as a result of any inaccuracies in any such information.
