Terms of Use

1. Introduction and Acceptance of these Terms

Last Updated: 7 July 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website www.eutradenetwork.com, together with all related websites, subdomains, mobile versions, applications, services, business directory listings, digital products, communications, and features (collectively, the "Platform").

The Platform is owned and operated by EU Trade Network Ltd. ("EU Trade Network", "we", "our", or "us"). Throughout these Terms, references to "you" or "your" mean any individual, business, organisation, representative, visitor, customer, subscriber, or entity accessing or using the Platform.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and EU Trade Network Ltd. By accessing, browsing, registering for an account, purchasing a service, submitting a business listing, advertising, or otherwise using any part of the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and any additional policies or guidelines published on the Platform.

If you are using the Platform on behalf of a company, partnership, government body, charity, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind that organisation to these Terms. In such circumstances, references to "you" include both the individual acting on behalf of the organisation and the organisation itself.

If you do not agree with any provision of these Terms, you must immediately stop accessing and using the Platform. Continued use of the Platform constitutes your ongoing acceptance of these Terms and any future updates made in accordance with Section 13.

The Platform is intended primarily as a business-to-business (B2B) directory connecting companies, suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, service providers, buyers, and commercial organisations operating within Europe and international markets. Nothing on the Platform should be interpreted as legal, financial, tax, investment, procurement, or professional advice. Users remain solely responsible for conducting appropriate due diligence before entering into any commercial relationship with another business.

EU Trade Network Ltd. operates the Platform in accordance with applicable European Union legislation, including, where relevant, the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), the Digital Services Act (DSA), the eCommerce Directive, and other applicable national laws governing electronic commerce and online intermediary services. Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory rights granted under applicable European law.

2. Eligibility and Permitted Use

The Platform is intended primarily for business users and commercial organisations. By accessing or using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you satisfy all of the following requirements:

all information you provide to us is complete, accurate, current and not misleading;
your use of the Platform complies with all applicable local, national and European Union laws and regulations.

EU Trade Network is a business directory and commercial networking platform designed to help businesses discover suppliers, manufacturers, exporters, service providers and other commercial partners. The Platform is not intended for unlawful, fraudulent or personal activities unrelated to legitimate business purposes.

You agree to use the Platform only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of other users or restrict or interfere with anyone else's use and enjoyment of the Platform.

2.1 Business Accounts

Certain features of the Platform, including publishing company listings, responding to enquiries, purchasing promotional services and managing business profiles, require the creation of a registered account.

When creating an account, you agree to:

register using truthful and accurate business information;
maintain and promptly update your account information whenever changes occur;
protect the confidentiality of your username and password;
accept responsibility for all activities carried out under your account;
notify us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorised access or suspected security breach.

We reserve the right to request documentation verifying your identity, business registration, ownership or authority before activating or maintaining certain services. Failure to provide requested verification may result in suspension or removal of your account or listings.

you have previously been suspended or permanently removed from the Platform;
your account was terminated for violating these Terms;
your business is involved in illegal, fraudulent or deceptive activities;

you intend to use the Platform for spam, phishing, data harvesting, automated scraping, malware distribution or other abusive activities.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without prior notice where legally permitted, to refuse registration, reject account applications, suspend access or terminate accounts that fail to satisfy these eligibility requirements or otherwise pose a risk to the integrity, security or reputation of the Platform.

3. User Accounts, Business Listings and Verification

To access certain features of the Platform, including publishing a business listing, responding to enquiries, purchasing promotional services, or managing company information, you must create and maintain a registered account.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that all information submitted to the Platform is accurate, complete, current and lawful. Business listings should accurately represent the organisation, its products, services, certifications and contact information at all times.

3.1 Business Information

By submitting a listing or company profile, you represent and warrant that:

you own or are authorised to manage the business being listed;
all information submitted is truthful, accurate and not misleading;
your business complies with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions where it operates;
all licences, registrations, permits or certifications required for your business activities are valid and maintained;
you have the necessary rights to publish all logos, trademarks, photographs, videos, documents and other materials uploaded to the Platform.

3.2 Listing Content

You remain solely responsible for all content published through your account, including company descriptions, contact information, images, videos, product catalogues, pricing information, certifications, downloadable files and external links.

You agree that your listing will not contain content that:

is false, deceptive or misleading;
infringes any copyright, trademark, patent or other intellectual property rights;
contains defamatory, abusive, discriminatory, threatening or unlawful material;
promotes illegal products, counterfeit goods or prohibited services;
contains malicious software, viruses or harmful code;

3.3 Verification

EU Trade Network may, but is under no obligation to, verify businesses listed on the Platform. Verification may include confirmation of business registration, company ownership, VAT registration, website ownership, email verification or other supporting documentation.

Verification does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, guarantee or warranty regarding the quality, reliability, financial stability or legal compliance of any business. Users remain responsible for conducting their own independent due diligence before entering into commercial relationships.

3.4 Listing Approval and Moderation

All listings may be reviewed before publication or at any time after publication. We reserve the right, without prior notice where legally permitted, to:

approve or reject new listings;
edit formatting, categorisation or layout for consistency across the Platform;
request corrections or additional documentation;
temporarily suspend listings pending investigation;
remove listings that violate these Terms or applicable law.

We are not obligated to publish, retain or restore any content submitted by users and may remove content where reasonably necessary to protect other users, comply with legal requirements, enforce these Terms or maintain the integrity of the Platform.

3.5 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities occurring under your account. You must immediately notify us of any suspected unauthorised access, misuse or security breach.

We shall not be liable for losses arising from unauthorised use of your account where such use results from your failure to adequately protect your login credentials or otherwise comply with these Terms.

4. Paid Services, Memberships and Payments

EU Trade Network offers both free and paid services through the Platform. Paid services may include, but are not limited to, premium business listings, featured placements, advertising opportunities, lead generation services, promotional campaigns, subscription plans and other commercial products (collectively, the "Paid Services").

By purchasing any Paid Service, you agree to pay all applicable fees, taxes and charges associated with your order and to comply with these Terms.

4.1 Pricing

All prices displayed on the Platform are shown in the currency indicated at the time of purchase and may be exclusive or inclusive of applicable taxes, including VAT, as required by applicable law.

We reserve the right to modify pricing, features or subscription plans at any time. Price changes will not affect payments already completed but may apply to future purchases or subscription renewals following reasonable notice where required by law.

4.2 Payment Processing

Payments are processed through secure third-party payment providers. By submitting payment information, you authorise both EU Trade Network and its payment processors to charge the selected payment method for all applicable fees.

We do not store complete payment card information on our own servers. Payment data is handled by certified payment service providers in accordance with applicable security standards, including PCI DSS requirements where applicable.

4.3 Subscription Services

Certain Paid Services are offered on a recurring subscription basis. Unless otherwise stated during checkout, subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period until cancelled by you.

By purchasing a subscription, you authorise us to collect recurring payments using your chosen payment method until the subscription is cancelled in accordance with these Terms.

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account or by contacting our support team. Cancellation prevents future renewals but does not normally entitle you to a refund for the current billing period unless required under applicable law.

4.4 Refund Policy

Because Paid Services generally involve immediate publication, advertising, digital content or promotional exposure, payments are generally non-refundable once the service has commenced.

Refunds may only be provided where:

required by applicable European Union or national consumer protection law;
we are unable to provide the purchased service due to our own technical failure;
we expressly agree to issue a refund at our sole discretion.

Nothing in this section limits any mandatory statutory rights that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.

4.5 Failed or Overdue Payments

If payment cannot be successfully processed, we may:

suspend access to Paid Services;
remove premium features from your listing;
retry payment using your authorised payment method where permitted;
cancel your subscription or order;
recover outstanding amounts through lawful collection procedures where appropriate.

4.6 Promotions and Discounts

From time to time, promotional pricing, discount codes, free trials or limited-time offers may be made available. Such offers are subject to their own specific terms and may be withdrawn, modified or expired at any time without liability, except where otherwise required by applicable law.

4.7 Taxes

You are responsible for any taxes, duties, withholding obligations or governmental charges arising from your purchase or use of Paid Services, except where EU Trade Network is legally required to collect and remit such taxes on your behalf.

EU Trade Network operates as an online business directory and intermediary platform that enables businesses to publish information about their organisations, products and services and to connect with potential customers, suppliers and commercial partners.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the content published within business listings is provided directly by the respective businesses or other users and not by EU Trade Network Ltd.

7.1 Business Listings

Business profiles, product information, certifications, contact details, promotional materials, pricing and other listing content are submitted and maintained by the businesses themselves.

While we may perform limited moderation or verification procedures, we do not routinely verify every statement, claim or document submitted to the Platform. Accordingly, we do not guarantee that any listing is complete, accurate, current, reliable or suitable for your particular requirements.

Users are solely responsible for carrying out their own due diligence before entering into any commercial relationship, transaction or agreement with another business listed on the Platform.

7.2 No Endorsement

The appearance of a company, product, service or advertisement on the Platform does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, accreditation, certification or guarantee by EU Trade Network Ltd.

We are not a party to any negotiations, quotations, contracts, payments, deliveries, warranties, disputes or other commercial arrangements entered into between users.

Your use of any third-party website is governed exclusively by the terms and privacy policies of that third party.

7.5 Third-Party Services

The Platform may integrate with third-party technologies or service providers, including payment processors, analytics providers, communication services, mapping services, identity verification providers and other business tools.

While we endeavour to work with reputable providers, we do not warrant the availability, security or uninterrupted operation of any third-party service integrated with the Platform.

Before relying upon any listing, advertisement, certification, quotation or other information published through the Platform, you should independently verify all information that is material to your decision.

EU Trade Network Ltd. shall not be liable for any loss arising from reliance upon information supplied by third parties, including inaccuracies, omissions, misrepresentations or fraudulent conduct by users or listed businesses.
