Welcome to Scrapfoam.com Inc. This Agreement describes the terms
and conditions applicable to your use of our services at Scrapfoam.com Inc.
(hereinafter "Scrapfoam.com"). Scrapfoam.com may amend this Agreement at any
time by posting the amended terms on our website. Except as stated below, all
amended terms shall automatically be effective 30 days after they are initially
posted on our site. This Agreement may not be otherwise amended. This agreement
was last revised on July 17, 2000. This site is solely dedicated to and for the
use of Buyers and Sellers of commercial scrap foam in truckload quantities
1. Purpose: Our service is offered only to individuals who can form legally binding
contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, our services are not
available to minors. If you do not qualify, please do not use our services.
2. Fees and Services: Scrapfoam.com offers a website auction service for Buyers and
Sellers of scrap foam as follows:
A. Sellers simply submit to Scrapfoam.com a personalized description of their scrap
foam product (herein the "Auction Lot") for Auction by the Seller
(i.e., price, description, quality, quantity, etc.). The Seller's Auction Lot is submitted
to Scrapfoam.com's Auction for Buyer's to bid on the Auction Lot (herein the "Forward Auction").
A Seller selects its own period of time (24 hours, 48 hours, 3 days, etc.) to accept bids for
the Auction Lot (herein the "Commitment Period"). Sellers also agree and warrant that the Auction
Lot submitted by the Seller is actually owned by the Seller and is available for sale on Scrapfoam.com's
Auction website until the Commitment Period has expired. Sellers who retract their Auction Lot before the
Commitment Period has expired will be in direct breach and violation of the Terms and Conditions imposed
herein by Scrapfoam.com. Once the Commitment Period has expired and the Seller has not sold its Auction Lot,
then Seller has the option to either resubmit the Auction Lot for sale on Scrapfoam.com or Seller can remove
the Auction Lot and sell to any other party.
B. Buyers can also utilize Scrapfoam.com web-site by listing the description of scrap foam
products (herein "Buyer's Request"- i.e., type of scrap foam price, description, quality,
quantity, etc.) that Buyers are seeking. The Buyer's Request is submitted to Scrapfoam.com's
Auction for Sellers to bid on the Buyer's Request (herein the "Reverse Auction"). A Buyer selects
its own period of time (24 hours, 48 hours, 3 days, etc.) for Sellers to make bids on Buyer's Request
(herein the "Commitment Period"). Upon receipt of Buyer's Request, Scrapfoam.com instantly e-mails
the Buyer's Request to Scrapfoam.com's Exclusive List. This Exclusive List advises all Sellers of that
certain material of the Buyer's Request. All interested Sellers can then make offers/bids on Buyer's
Request during the Commitment Period. When a Buyer's bid is accepted by a Seller, the Seller agrees to
and is instantly legally obligating itself to sell to the Buyer at the agreed to terms. Seller's bidding
on Buyer's requests is referred to as a Reverse Auction.
C. Scrapfoam.com's Fees are only earned when the final winning bid is accepted during the Commitment
Period of a Seller's Forward Auction or a Buyer's Reverse Auction. At the time of acceptance of the final
winning bid in each referenced Auction the Seller agrees to make an immediate payment of
$.01/# (one cent per pound of scrap foam shipped/sold) for the accepted
bid (herein the "Transaction Fee"). Scrapfoam.com may change its Transaction Fee and Service Policy from
time to time. Changes to the Transaction Fee Policy are effective after we provide you with at least fourteen
(14) days notice of the changes by posting the changes on the announcement board. Unless otherwise stated,
all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying Scrapfoam.com's Transaction Fees upon receipt
of Scrapfoam.com's invoice.
