User-Generated Content and Contributions

You may have the opportunity to submit content to our website, such as comments on blogs, feedback on our Transportation Management Systems, testimonials, or inquiries via contact forms. By submitting user-generated content, you agree to the following:

  • License Grant: You grant 3SC Supply Chain a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, distribute, and display your content for any business purpose, such as featuring testimonials on our website, incorporating feedback into our services, or promoting our Events Calendar. This license includes the right to sublicense to third parties, such as marketing partners, and survives termination of your use of our services.
  • Ownership and Responsibility: You confirm that your content is original, does not infringe third-party rights (e.g., copyrights, trademarks, or privacy), and complies with applicable laws. You remain responsible for the accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of your content, including any liabilities arising from its use.
  • Content Standards: Your content must not be defamatory, obscene, abusive, harassing, or unlawful.

Third-Party Links and External Services

Our website may include links to third-party websites or services, such as partner pages in our Supply Chain Directory, external resources referenced in our blogs, or event registration platforms for our supply chain summits. These links are provided for your convenience and do not constitute an endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation by 3SC Supply Chain. Key points regarding third-party links include:

  • No Responsibility: We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, reliability, or practices of third-party websites, including their privacy policies, terms, or security measures. For example, linking to an event organizer’s site does not guarantee the event’s quality, accuracy, or safety.
  • Separate Terms: Third-party websites operate under their own terms and conditions, which you must review before engaging with their services. Your interactions with these sites, including data sharing or purchases, are at your own risk.
  • No Liability: We are not liable for any issues arising from your use of third-party services, such as data breaches, service disruptions, or financial losses. For instance, if you register for a summit via a third-party platform and encounter issues, you must resolve them directly with that provider.
  • Content Accuracy: We do not verify the accuracy or timeliness of third-party content linked from our website, such as partner profiles or external articles. Users should exercise due diligence and verify information before relying on it.

We periodically review third-party links to ensure relevance but cannot guarantee their ongoing availability or quality. If you encounter broken links or inappropriate content, please report them to contact@3scsupplychain.com. We encourage users to approach third-party services with caution, ensuring they align with your needs and comply with applicable laws.

Service Availability and Modifications

Our website and services, including access to our Delivery & Proof of Delivery Tracking Software, webinars, or premium content, are provided subject to availability. We strive to maintain consistent access but may suspend, modify, or discontinue services without prior notice for reasons including:

  • Technical Maintenance: Scheduled or emergency maintenance to improve performance, such as updating our servers or enhancing our Inventory & Stock Optimization Tool.
  • Unforeseen Circumstances: Events beyond our control, like power outages, cyber-attacks, or natural disasters affecting our infrastructure.
  • Business Decisions: Changes to our offerings, such as discontinuing a specific webinar series or updating features of our Supplier & Procurement Insights Tool.
  • Legal Requirements: Compliance with new regulations or court orders mandating service adjustments.

We are not liable for any inconvenience, losses, or damages caused by service interruptions, whether temporary or permanent. Users should plan for potential disruptions by maintaining backups of critical data, such as downloaded e-books, and checking our website for service status updates. We may also modify content, such as product descriptions, event schedules, or course materials, without notice, and users are responsible for verifying current information before relying on it. For service-related inquiries, contact contact@3scsupplychain.com to confirm availability or report issues.

No Warranties or Guarantees

3SC Supply Chain provides its website and services on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis, without any warranties, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee:

  • Uninterrupted Access: Our website, including pages for our Risk Monitoring & Simulation Engine or Events Calendar, may experience downtime due to maintenance or technical issues.
  • Error-Free Content: Content, such as product specifications for our Order Management Systems or webinar schedules, may contain errors or become outdated.
  • Security: While we implement security measures, we cannot guarantee freedom from viruses, malware, or other harmful components introduced by third parties.
  • Suitability: Our services, like the S&OP & Planning Platform, may not meet your specific business needs or expectations, and you are responsible for evaluating their suitability.
  • Performance: We do not warrant that our services will achieve specific outcomes, such as cost savings or efficiency gains, as results depend on user implementation and external factors.

No implied warranties, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement, apply unless required by applicable law. Users assume full responsibility for verifying information, ensuring compatibility, and mitigating risks associated with using our website or services. For example, before adopting our Real-Time Visibility Dashboard, you should conduct due diligence to confirm it aligns with your operational requirements. We encourage users to consult qualified professionals for tailored advice on implementing our solutions.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, 3SC Supply Chain, its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, and partners shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to:

  • Use or Inability to Use: Accessing or failing to access our website or services, such as downloading reports or using our Transportation Management Systems.
  • Content Issues: Errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in content, like outdated e-book details or incorrect event dates in our Supply Chain Directory.
  • Security Breaches: Unauthorized access to your data, despite our reasonable security measures, as outlined in our Privacy Policy.
  • Reliance on Content: Actions taken based on our content, such as implementing strategies from our webinars without professional consultation.
  • Third-Party Interactions: Issues arising from third-party services linked from our website, like event registration platforms or partner websites.
  • Service Interruptions: Downtime or disruptions affecting access to our Fleet Management Tools or other services.

Our total liability, if any, is limited to the amount you paid for our services, if applicable, or the minimum amount required by law. This limitation applies regardless of the cause of action, including negligence, breach of contract, or tort. For example, if you experience losses due to a temporary outage of our Barcode/RFID Scanning Systems, we are not liable for resulting business impacts. This provision protects our organization from excessive claims while ensuring users understand the risks of using our services. Certain jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of certain liabilities, and in such cases, our liability will be limited to the extent permitted by law.

Indemnification Obligations

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless 3SC Supply Chain, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and partners from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

  • Your Use or Misuse: Violating these terms, such as using our Inventory Control Systems for unlawful purposes or scraping content from our website.
  • User-Generated Content: Submitting content that infringes third-party rights, such as posting copyrighted material in blog comments, or causes harm, like defamatory feedback.
  • Third-Party Claims: Breaching third-party rights, such as using our Supply Chain Directory content without permission, leading to intellectual property disputes.
  • Legal Violations: Failing to comply with applicable laws, like data protection regulations, when submitting personal information via our forms.
  • Negligent Actions: Causing harm through negligent or intentional misuse, such as uploading malicious code via demo request forms.

We reserve the right to assume control of any defense, at your expense, and you agree to cooperate fully in defending claims. You must notify us promptly of any claims or potential liabilities at contact@3scsupplychain.com. This indemnification obligation survives termination of your use of our website or services, ensuring ongoing protection for our organization. For example, if your unauthorized use of our Production Scheduling Software results in a third-party lawsuit, you are responsible for covering associated costs.

Termination and Suspension of Access

We may terminate or suspend your access to our website, services, or accounts, including access to our Supplier Relationship Management Tools, without prior notice, for reasons including but not limited to:

  • Terms Violations: Breaching these terms, such as engaging in prohibited activities like hacking or distributing our content without permission.
  • Non-Payment: Failing to meet payment obligations for premium services, like subscriptions to our Logistics & Transportation Analytics System.
  • Legal Requirements: Complying with court orders, regulations, or law enforcement requests mandating suspension.
  • Security Threats: Protecting our systems or other users from harm, such as addressing accounts involved in cyber-attacks or fraud.
  • Inactivity: Accounts unused for an extended period, typically 12 months, may be deactivated to maintain system efficiency.

Upon termination or suspension:

  • Your right to access our services, including account-dependent features like personalized webinars, ceases immediately.
  • We may delete your data, including account information and user-generated content, subject to our Privacy Policy and legal retention requirements.
  • You remain liable for any obligations incurred prior to termination, such as unpaid fees or damages caused by misuse.
  • Any licenses granted to you, such as access to our e-books, are revoked, and you must cease using our content.

To appeal a suspension or termination, contact contact@3scsupplychain.com within 30 days, providing details of your case. We will review appeals fairly but are not obligated to reinstate access. Termination does not relieve you of responsibilities under these terms, such as indemnification or intellectual property obligations.

Payment Terms for Premium Services

Some services, such as subscriptions to our S&OP & Planning Platform, premium courses, or access to advanced analytics, may require payment. If you purchase services, you agree to:

  • Accurate Billing: Provide valid, current, and complete payment information, such as credit card details or bank account numbers, during checkout.
  • Authorization: Authorize us or our third-party payment processors to charge the specified fees, including taxes, in the currency indicated (e.g., USD).
  • Timely Payments: Pay all invoices on time, as specified during checkout or in your subscription agreement, typically within 30 days for invoiced clients.
  • Dispute Notification: Notify us of billing disputes within 30 days of the charge at contact@3scsupplychain.com. We will investigate and respond promptly, but undisputed amounts remain due.
  • Non-Refundable: All payments are non-refundable unless otherwise stated in a specific service agreement or required by law. For example, cancelling a webinar registration after attendance does not entitle you to a refund.
  • Fee Changes: We may adjust pricing for services with notice, typically 30 days in advance, effective at the next billing cycle or renewal.

We use secure third-party payment processors, such as Stripe or PayPal, to handle transactions, and your payment data is protected per our Privacy Policy. We are not liable for issues arising from payment processor errors, provided we have fulfilled our obligations. Non-payment may result in service suspension, account termination, or collection actions, including reasonable legal fees. Users in jurisdictions with consumer protection laws, like the EU, may have additional rights, such as limited refund periods, which we honor as required.

Subscription Services and Renewals

For subscription-based services, such as access to our Warehouse Management System or premium analytics, you agree to the following terms:

  • Recurring Payments: Authorize automatic recurring charges at the intervals specified (e.g., monthly, quarterly, annually) until cancellation.
  • Renewal Notifications: We will notify you via email before each renewal, typically 30 days in advance, with instructions to cancel or modify your subscription.
  • Cancellation Process: Cancel subscriptions through your account settings or by contacting contact@3scsupplychain.com at least 5 business days before the renewal date. Cancellations after this period may result in charges for the next billing cycle.
  • No Refunds for Partial Periods: Cancelling mid-cycle does not entitle you to a prorated refund for unused service periods, unless required by law.
  • Feature Changes: Subscription features, such as access to new modules in our Inventory & Stock Optimization Tool, may change with notice, and continued use implies acceptance.
  • Downgrades/Upgrades: Requests to downgrade or upgrade plans take effect at the next billing cycle, with adjusted fees applied accordingly.

Failure to cancel before renewal results in automatic charges, and we are not liable for charges incurred due to missed cancellations. Subscriptions provide access to specified features, which may evolve based on our business needs or user feedback. If a subscription service is discontinued, we will provide notice and, where feasible, offer alternative services or prorated refunds, subject to applicable laws.

Free Trials and Promotional Offers

We may offer free trials or promotional access to services, such as a 14-day trial of our Risk Monitoring & Simulation Engine or discounted webinar registrations. By participating, you agree to:

  • Trial Conditions: Comply with specific terms, such as usage limits (e.g., number of users) or duration, as outlined during sign-up.
  • Payment Information: Provide valid payment details for trials requiring it, with automatic charges applying post-trial unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the trial ends.
  • Cancellation: Cancel trials through your account or by contacting contact@3scsupplychain.com before the trial period expires to avoid charges.
  • Promotional Limits: Promotions, like one-time discounts on our courses, may be single-use, non-transferable, and subject to additional conditions, such as minimum purchase requirements.
  • Data Collection: Data collected during trials, such as usage metrics, is handled per our Privacy Policy and may be used to improve our services.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate trials or promotions at our discretion, without liability, with notice where practicable. Trial users are bound by these terms, and misuse, such as creating multiple accounts to extend trials, may result in termination. Contact us to clarify trial or promotional terms before participating to ensure alignment with your expectations.

Dispute Resolution Process

Any disputes arising from these terms, your use of our website, or our services shall be resolved through the following process:

  • Informal Negotiation: Contact us at contact@3scsupplychain.com within 30 days of the issue to initiate informal resolution. Provide details of your concern, and we will work in good faith to resolve the matter within 60 days. This step encourages amicable solutions and reduces the need for formal proceedings.
  • Binding Arbitration: If informal negotiation fails, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration under the rules of India. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, with each party bearing its own costs unless otherwise awarded. The arbitrator’s decision is final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  • Exceptions: Claims involving intellectual property infringement, such as unauthorized use of our Real-Time Visibility Dashboard, or requests for injunctive relief may be pursued in courts of [Insert Jurisdiction]. Additionally, small claims eligible under local law may be filed in appropriate small claims courts.
  • No Class Actions: You waive the right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, or representative actions, to the extent permitted by law. Disputes will be resolved on an individual basis, ensuring efficient and focused proceedings.
  • Costs and Fees: Each party is responsible for its legal fees and arbitration costs, unless the arbitrator awards otherwise based on merit or applicable law.

This dispute resolution process is designed to be fair, efficient, and cost-effective, minimizing the burden on both parties. Users in jurisdictions with mandatory consumer protection laws, like the EU, may have additional rights, such as access to local dispute resolution mechanisms, which we honor as required. Arbitration proceedings will be conducted in English, unless otherwise agreed, and all communications must be documented for clarity.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms & Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [Insert Jurisdiction, e.g., Delaware, USA], without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal actions not subject to arbitration, such as intellectual property disputes or injunctive relief, shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in [Insert Jurisdiction]. By using our website or services, you irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts. This provision ensures legal clarity and consistency in handling disputes related to our services, such as disagreements over our Supplier Relationship Management Tools. Users in other jurisdictions acknowledge that our services are provided from [Insert Jurisdiction], and local laws may not apply unless mandated. For example, EU users may have additional consumer rights, which we address as required by law.

Force Majeure Events

3SC Supply Chain is not liable for delays, failures, or interruptions in performing our obligations under these terms due to events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to:

  • Natural Disasters: Earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, or wildfires disrupting our operations or infrastructure.
  • Cyber Incidents: Cyber-attacks, such as ransomware or distributed denial-of-service attacks, affecting our servers or services.
  • Government Actions: New regulations, export controls, or court orders impacting our ability to provide services, like restrictions on data transfers.
  • Infrastructure Failures: Internet outages, power failures, or third-party service disruptions affecting access to our Events Calendar or other services.
  • Public Emergencies: Pandemics, civil unrest, or national emergencies that disrupt our operations or supply chain.

We will notify users of significant disruptions via our website or email, where feasible, and take reasonable steps to resume services as soon as possible. During force majeure events, your obligations, such as payment for subscriptions, remain in effect unless we agree otherwise. Users are not entitled to refunds, credits, or compensation for disruptions caused by force majeure, unless required by law. This provision ensures fairness by accounting for uncontrollable circumstances while maintaining our commitment to service continuity.

Google Ads and Advertising Compliance

As 3SC Supply Chain participates in Google Ads, our Terms & Conditions are crafted to align with Google’s advertising policies, ensuring transparency, user clarity, and compliance:

  • Transparent Terms: We clearly outline usage rules, limitations, and user responsibilities for our services, such as our Demand & Forecasting Tool, to avoid misleading expectations.
  • No Deceptive Claims: We avoid false or exaggerated statements about our services, ensuring ads for our Real-Time Visibility Dashboard reflect accurate capabilities.
  • User Responsibilities: Users are informed of their obligations, such as complying with these terms when engaging with ad-driven content, aligning with Google’s transparency requirements.
  • Consent for Advertising: Data collection for personalized ads, such as targeting promotions for our Warehouse Management System, is governed by our Cookies Policy and complies with Google’s EU User Consent Policy for GDPR regions.
  • Prohibited Activities: We prohibit actions that violate Google’s policies, such as using our website for fraudulent activities or misrepresenting ad content.

These measures ensure our website remains eligible for Google Ads, fostering trust with users and advertisers while maintaining campaign effectiveness. Users can manage ad preferences through our cookie consent tool or Google’s ad settings, as detailed in our Cookies Policy, ensuring compliance with privacy expectations.

Severability of Provisions

If any provision of these Terms & Conditions is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or competent authority, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. For example, if our arbitration clause is found unenforceable in a specific jurisdiction, other terms, such as intellectual property protections or liability limitations, continue to apply. The invalid provision will be modified or replaced to the extent necessary to achieve its intended purpose while complying with applicable law. This severability ensures that our terms remain robust and adaptable, protecting both parties despite legal changes or challenges.

Waiver and Non-Enforcement

Our failure to enforce any provision of these terms at any time does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce it later. For example, if we do not immediately address a user’s unauthorized sharing of our e-books, we retain the right to pursue action for future violations. Any waiver of a provision must be explicit, in writing, and signed by an authorized representative of 3SC Supply Chain. This provision ensures that our rights remain intact, providing flexibility in enforcement while maintaining legal protections.

Entire Agreement Clause

These Terms & Conditions, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy, Disclaimer, and any specific service agreements (e.g., subscription contracts), constitute the entire agreement between you and 3SC Supply Chain regarding your use of our website and services. This agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, agreements, or representations, whether oral or written, related to the subject matter. For instance, earlier discussions about our Logistics & Transportation Analytics System are replaced by these terms. Any additional terms for specific services, such as premium access to our S&OP & Planning Platform, will be provided in writing and incorporated by reference. In case of conflicts, specific service agreements prevail over these general terms to the extent of the conflict.

Assignment and Transfer

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate your rights or obligations under these terms to any third party without our prior written consent. For example, you cannot transfer your subscription to our Inventory & Stock Optimization Tool to another individual or entity without our approval. 3SC Supply Chain may assign or transfer our rights and obligations, in whole or in part, to affiliates, subsidiaries, or successors, such as in the event of a merger, acquisition, or business restructuring, without your consent. We will notify users of significant transfers, where required, to ensure transparency. This provision allows us to maintain operational flexibility while protecting your rights under these terms.

Notices and Communications

All notices and communications under these terms shall be in writing and delivered via email or posted on our website. Notices to 3SC Supply Chain should be sent to contact@3scsupplychain.com, with a subject line clearly indicating the purpose (e.g., “Terms Inquiry”). Notices to you will be sent to the email address provided in your account or posted prominently on our website for general updates. You agree to maintain an accurate and current email address in your account to receive notices. Notices are deemed delivered:

  • For emails: Upon sending, unless we receive a delivery failure notification.
  • For website postings: Upon posting, typically for general updates like terms revisions.

You are responsible for reviewing notices promptly and responding as required. Failure to receive notices due to outdated contact information does not relieve you of your obligations. This provision ensures clear and reliable communication between parties.

Relationship of Parties

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions establishes a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or franchise relationship between you and 3SC Supply Chain. You are an independent user of our website and services, and neither party has authority to bind the other without express written agreement. For example, your use of our Supply Chain Directory does not make you our agent or representative. This clarification prevents misunderstandings about the nature of our relationship and limits unintended liabilities.

Survival of Terms

Certain provisions of these terms, which by their nature should survive termination or expiration, will remain in effect after you cease using our website or services. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Intellectual Property Rights, protecting our content and trademarks.
  • User-Generated Content, governing our license to use your submissions.
  • Limitation of Liability, restricting our liability for past usage.
  • Indemnification, requiring you to cover claims arising from your actions.
  • Dispute Resolution, governing how disputes are handled post-termination.
  • Governing Law, specifying the applicable legal framework.

For example, if you terminate your account but later infringe our copyrights by republishing our webinars, these provisions still apply. This ensures ongoing protection for both parties after the relationship ends.

Updates to These Terms

We may revise these Terms & Conditions to reflect changes in laws, regulations, website functionality, or business practices. Updates may include:

  • Adding new sections, such as terms for emerging services like AI-driven analytics.
  • Clarifying existing provisions, like payment terms for subscriptions.
  • Complying with new legal requirements, such as updated data protection laws.
  • Adjusting operational rules, like account security requirements.

We encourage you to review this page regularly to stay informed. For questions about changes, contact contact@3scsupplychain.com. If you disagree with updated terms, you must discontinue use immediately to avoid being bound by them.
