Members may voluntarily publish commercial details, including company profiles, product catalogs, certificates, manufacturing capacities, contact/factory details, sustainability information, and marketing materials. It is the Member’s responsibility to determine which information is disclosed publicly.

10.5 Confidential Information

Members may share confidential commercial information through the Platform. Each Member agrees to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information received from other Members and to utilize it solely for legitimate commercial purposes. Confidential Information does not encompass information that becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party, was lawfully known prior to disclosure, was independently developed without reference to the disclosed information, or was lawfully acquired from another source without confidentiality obligations.

10.6 Security Measures

Texylon implements commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect Platform data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission, cloud storage, or internet communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Information that the Member is not legally authorized to disclose must not be uploaded to the Platform.

10.8 Cross-Border Data Transfer

Platform information may be processed or stored in multiple countries by Texylon or its authorized service providers. Appropriate safeguards required by applicable law are implemented for the international transfer of personal data.

SECTION 11 – SUSPENSION, TERMINATION, AND SURVIVAL

11.1 Suspension of Services

Texylon may temporarily suspend or restrict access to the Platform, without prior notice where reasonably necessary, in the event of a Member’s breach of these Terms, failure to fulfill payment obligations, detection of fraudulent/suspicious activity, failure to meet verification requirements, provision of false/misleading information, compromise of Platform security or integrity, or where required by law/competent authorities. Suspension may apply to the entire Account or specific features.

11.2 Termination by Member

Members may terminate their Account at any time via the Platform or by submitting a written request to Texylon. Termination shall not affect accrued payment obligations, outstanding invoices, legal/confidentiality obligations, intellectual property rights, or provisions that by their nature are intended to survive. Upon cancellation of a paid Subscription, access to paid features shall continue until the end of the current billing period, unless law requires otherwise.

11.3 Automatic Renewal of Supplier Memberships

Unless canceled prior to the expiration of the current Subscription term, all paid Supplier Memberships shall automatically renew for an additional term at the pricing and terms in effect at the time of renewal. By purchasing a paid Supplier Membership, the Member expressly authorizes Texylon and its authorized payment processor to process recurring payments until the Subscription is canceled. Cancellation prevents future renewals and does not confer a right to a refund for the current period, unless mandatory law requires otherwise.

11.4 Termination by Texylon

Texylon may immediately terminate an Account in the event of fraudulent behavior, illegal activity, payment fraud, repeated violations of the Terms, intellectual property infringement, sanctions/export control restrictions, or if the Member causes serious harm to the reputation, security, or operation of the Platform. Accounts that have remained inactive for an extended period may also be terminated after reasonable notice, where appropriate.

11.5 Consequences of Termination

Upon termination, Platform access may be immediately revoked, published listings may be removed, verification status may be rescinded, messaging functionalities may be disabled, and unused features may become inaccessible. Termination shall not affect legally accrued rights and obligations.

11.6 Post-Termination Data

Texylon may retain Account data post-termination as reasonably necessary for legal compliance, tax/accounting obligations, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, Platform security, and enforcement of the Terms. Personal data deletion requests are processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable data protection legislation.
