Terms of Service



Welcome to the Terms of Service Agreement ("Agreement").

ICBin provides the services ("Services") offered through ICBin.com (the "Site") to You as a registered subscriber or authorized user, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In this Agreement, "Member," "You," "Your," and "Yourself" refers to an individual accessing the Site, regardless of any particular ICBin product or Services purchased or licensed. To the extent applicable, "Member," "You," and "Your" also includes the company or organization, if any, on whose behalf an individual is accessing the Site.

By accessing the Site, You expressly acknowledge acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Agreement will continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to Section 5 (Termination). This Agreement is not a transfer of any of ICBin's property, rights or interests nor a license of any of ICBin's intellectual property.

  1. Modification

    ICBin reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to modify or discontinue the Site, or modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement, without notice or reason given to You. All modified terms and conditions of this Agreement will be effective 45 days after they are initially posted on the Site. If a modification is unacceptable, You may terminate this Agreement by giving notice of termination to ICBin and following the procedures in Section 5 (Termination). If You do not give ICBin notice of termination within 15 days of such modification(s), Your continued use of the Site signifies Your acceptance and agreement to be bound by the modification(s) to this Agreement.

  2. Conditions for Membership

    ICBin accepts only those Members that meet ICBin's strict membership criteria. Accordingly, ICBin, in its sole and exclusive discretion, accepts only Members who are actively engaged in the computer parts industry as resellers, dealers, brokers, service centers, manufacturers, integrators, or variations of the preceding under certain conditions. In the sole and absolute discretion of ICBin, free trials and memberships will not be granted to competitors of ICBin, including, but not limited to, IT parts listing services, sourcing service websites, IT brokering websites, or any company or individual that is a parent, subsidiary, division, or affiliate of any company or organization that competes with ICBin. Competitors or their affiliates approved for membership by standard, erroneous, or fraudulent means are in violation of this Agreement and the law, will be immediately terminated from Service, and may be prosecuted by ICBin to the fullest extent of the law.

  3. Membership

    1. Company Membership

      To join the Site as a trial or subscribing company, logon to ICBin.com, choose the appropriate link, and fill out the required information. All information submitted to ICBin about Yourself and Your company must be valid, current, and accurate to the best of Your knowledge, or denial, termination, or suspension of membership may occur. After filling out and submitting the required information, a ICBin representative will review Your application, during which time You may be eligible for a free trial membership ("Free Trial"). During the Free Trial period, Your company will have access to ICBin's Platinum Service level. The individual who enrolled Your company will be appointed the company administrator ("Administrator") by default. A ICBin representative will then e-mail Your Administrator a password ("Password") and login ("Login"). All Logins and Passwords are considered property of ICBin and are to be used only by the intended person, the Administrator. Violation of this requirement may cause company suspension or termination of its membership and the Services. The Administrator is responsible for approving individuals within Your company to access the Site as Members ("Members"), and is responsible for managing such Members, their actions, and the security levels for such Members. The security levels may be changed by the Administrator or a ICBin representative, in its sole and exclusive discretion. After Your Free Trial period expires, Your company may elect to continue Services. At such time, credit card or other payment information will be required after Your Administrator selects Your service level. The aforementioned rules regarding Administrator, Members, Login, and Password requirements shall continue after Your Free Trial period expires, and the fee for Services membership commences. Company membership may be suspended or terminated at any time without notice or reason in the sole and absolute discretion of ICBin.

    2. Member of a Subscribing Company

      To join as a Member of a Free Trial or subscribing company, visit ICBin.com, choose the appropriate link, and fill out the required information. All information submitted to ICBin about Yourself must be valid, current, and accurate to the best of Your knowledge, or denial, termination, or suspension of membership and the Services may occur. After filling out the required information, a ICBin representative may, in its sole and exclusive discretion, grant You access by sending You a Login and Password via e-mail, provided Your company is currently subscribed as a Free Trial or a paying Member, and your application is approved by Your Administrator. All Logins and Passwords are considered property of ICBin and are to be used only by the intended person, the Member. Violation of this may cause company suspension or termination of Services. If You cannot find Your company while signing up, contact Your company Administrator.

  4. Billing

    Your ICBin Service is billed either on a semi-annual or an annual basis unless a custom plan is implemented at ICBin's sole discretion. The minimum length of subscription for the ICBin Service is twelve (12) months. Other ICBin products such as BrokerBox services, custom memberships, or other services are billed annually with a minimum commitment of one (1) year, which services are also subject to this Agreement. Your subscription fees are payable in advance and are not refundable in whole or part.

You waive and agree to release ICBin from all liabilities and claims of loss resulting from any billing discrepancy or error that is not reported to ICBin within 90 days of its publication in Your account.

    4. Billing Changes

      ICBin reserves the right, at any time, to change its fees and billing methods, including the addition of supplemental fees or separate charges for online areas, content, or Services provided by ICBin, which will be effective 45 days after posting such changes on the Site (the "Effective Date"). ICBin may also elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to supplement such notice of billing changes through pop-ups, e-mail, or U.S. Mail to the address provided by Your Administrator. If any such change is unacceptable to You, You may terminate Your membership as provided in Section 5 (Termination).

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Creating Legally Compliant Listing
For Items You Offer For Sale

All of Us have an interest in confirming that the products advertised through the site are not counterfeit or in any other way infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. If You are a ICBin member that lists products for sale, You are solely responsible for the description of the item and for the authenticity of that item. If Your listing or product violates any ICBin policy, any regulation, rule or law, or is reported to Us by an owner of the intellectual property rights of the product or listing that the product or listing violates any rights of the intellectual property owner, the listing may be removed by Us and We may terminate Your membership. If a complaint is made against You alleging that You have sold counterfeit product or have otherwise violated the Intellectual Property rights of others, we will allow you to explain Your version of the facts giving rise to the complaint made against You. To help verify that the product and listing does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of the owner, ICBin has created an Intellectual Property Rights Owners Protection (I PROP) Program for any alleged violations of the property rights of others (See IPROP page 3 for reporting suspected violations). Even if You are not the owner of the intellectual property rights, but believe there may be a violation, please report any potential violations. This Policy does not replace or supersede any other obligations You have as a Member of ICBin.

ICBin's General Guidelines on Creating Legally Compliant Listings

The following are only general guidelines to help You create listings that don't infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. Those are only general guidelines that are not legal advice and are not to be construed as such. If You have questions about whether Your product or listing infringes the intellectual property rights of others, You should contact the manufacturer of the product you are listing, or an intellectual property attorney.

Guidelines include:

  • Make sure what You are selling is authentic;
  • Your product must be authentic. You must list only parts or products that are authentic. You may not list any counterfeit products. Legally it is no excuse to say that You did not know Your product was not authentic. It is Your obligation to investigate Your source for the products You list and to ensure that all products You list are authentic;
  • It is Your responsibility as a Seller to make sure that products You list do not infringe the intellectual property rights of others. If You are not sure the product You are listing is authentic, contact the intellectual property rights owner/manufacturer with any questions;
  • Use brand names and images appropriately;
  • Create your own content;
  • Contact the owner of the intellectual property before You create Your listing if You have any questions.

Use Brand Names Appropriately

When selling a brand name product, You may mention the brand, and You may include photos that You have taken or that You have permission to use. Do not use the manufacturer's text, images or logo unless you are authorized to do so. Do not suggest You are an authorized dealer or re-seller if You are not.

Complaints

ICBin respects the intellectual property rights of others. If You think that a listing or product on the site is a violation of Your intellectual property rights, including copy rights, trademark or is a counterfeit product, please follow our Intellectual Property Rights Owners Procedure for making claims of infringement.

Notice and Procedure for Making Claims of Violations of Intellectual Property

ICBin investigates and responds promptly to any complaint alleging violations of intellectual property rights. If You believe that a listing or product on the site violates Your intellectual property rights, please follow the procedure immediately following this section to report an alleged violation. OVERVIEW OF I PROP PROGRAM ICBin created the I PROP program to help protect the intellectual property rights of Sellers and purchasing ICBin members. The owners of intellectual property rights are ultimately responsible for protecting their intellectual property and We are not experts in the intellectual property rights of others. We need your help in identifying those listings on products that You believe violate your intellectual property rights, or those of others.

Reporting a Listing to ICBin

If You believe that an item or listing infringes on your intellectual property rights, or those of someone else, please report the alleged infringement by completing and submitting an online notification form. You may instead submit a report in writing. In order to analyze Your complaint, please provide the following information:
  • A signature of the person making the complaint alleging violation of the intellectual property rights of the owner of the intellectual property in directing that the person signing the report is authorized to act on behalf of the intellectual property owner;
  • A description of the listing or product that you assert violates your intellectual property rights;
  • The mail address, phone number and email address for you;
  • Your statement that you have a good faith basis for asserting that there is a violation of the intellectual property rights of the owner.
