d. Price,

f. currency of the Transaction,

without which it will not be possible to submit an Offer

1a. The obligation to provide the lowest price for a Product in the last 30 days of a promotion applies to the Users pursuant to their local (national) law. Notwithstanding the obligation deriving from legal norms, the Service Provider merXu encourages all Users to provide the lowest price of a Product in the last 30 days for the purpose of building customer trust and transparency in business.

2. As a Seller you make an Offer using a form or a special file. On your account you may publish up to 30 000 active Offers. You have the possibility to upload photos, videos and descriptions of the offered Product. You are responsible for the information provided in the Offer, therefore we expect you to be reliable (see more in “Copyright”). You can add the main photo and up to 8 additional photos, with a maximum size of 10MB each. Photos must be linked to the content of the Offer. The photos cannot violate copyright and industrial property rights (especially trademarks), contain watermarks or reflections. Additional photos are allowed to show the Product in use, close-ups of its important functionalities, packaging, accessories when taken out of the box, Product transformations.

3. The Offer must include a net sales price, unless you want to use other functionalities. Remember about your obligation to choose a currency for the Offer made. If you wish to offer Products for sale in different currencies, you will have to submit separate Offers.

4. If you wish to sell Product accessories, related services or products, you must prepare separate Offers for each Product. If this is not the case, the Service Provider reserves the right to revise and remove the Offer until doubts are clarified.

5. One of the functionalities of the merXu platform is an exchange rate calculator that will help you find out the price of Offers available on the merXu in other currencies. Prices in other currencies are calculated using the average exchange rate published by the European Central Bank on the last business day preceding a given day (e.g. the day of the Transaction or currency request). Please note that the conversion is of auxiliary nature and the prices shown in a foreign currency are for illustrative purposes only.

6. The legal nature of the Offer is also determined by the content of the Terms and Conditions, which contains the declarations of will made by the Users at the moment of concluding the agreement within the Transaction (i.e., both as a Seller when submitting an Offer and as a Buyer when accepting an Offer), in particular with regard to the manner of terminating the contractual relationship (condition subsequent) or with regard to rescission (with a Seller who has its habitual residence in Germany).

7. From the moment the Offer is published you are bound by its content. A modification is considered to be a new Offer (it will happen e.g. if you provide a personalization/customization service).

8. The Service Provider reserves the right to supplement the Seller’s Offers with additional parameters of Products. The supplementing is based on verified sources of information, in particular EAN or catalogues made available by Product manufacturers.

9. The main parameters determining positioning of Offers, i.e. providing certain visibility to Offers, are as follows:

a. purchase by the User's of a sponsored item in the product listing (applies to the first four items in the first product category);

b. name, basic attributes (manufacturer), description content - the sorting is based on the quality of the match between the text entered by the User and the text completed in the Offer;

c. description, photos, attributes - the sorting is carried out on the basis of meeting quality criteria, in particular matching the Product to a specific category, the length of description and the number of photos;

d. price - the price criterion has an influence on sorting in case of making such a request by the User.

10. The indication of the parameters as set forth in clause 9 above as the main parameters for the placement of Offers is determined by current technological factors and the desire to enable Users to accurately match search results to their specific request. Offers belonging by its nature to the Renewable Energy category and its subcategories are always displayed in preference to other offers with Products that are not related to this category. Such offers are considered as uncategorized. The Service Provider does not apply personalized sorting. You can read more about the guidelines that will help you get better visibility of your Offer in the Help Center ”How to create an attractive offer that will attract Buyers”: https://merxu.com/en/help/articles/how-to-create-an-attractive-offer-that-will-attract-buyers-179/

11. Displaying featured Offers on the merXu website in the “Most Popular” category is based on the parameter of interest, i.e. high number of Users' views of the given Offer.
