By using PETROFINDER, you accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement on behalf of yourself and your company. If you do not accept these terms and conditions or have any questions, please contact <A HREF="mailto:master@petrofinder.com"><U>master@petrofinder.com</U> </A>. This Agreement may not be otherwise amended except in writing, signed by both parties.</B> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align=center><BR> <textarea class='box-4' cols=110 rows=15> 1. Membership Registration. PETROFINDER 's services are available only to individuals, corporations or other business entities that have agreed to the terms of this Agreement and have provided the information requested on the Membership Registration Form and that are legally permitted to enter into contracts for the sale of goods or services under applicable law. Should additional information be required, PETROFINDER may at its discretion grant full membership, reject membership or approve membership subject to offer limits. PETROFINDER through its approval process makes no assertions regarding a member to other members. 2.Standard Terms and Fees. All members are subject to PETROFINDER 's standard terms included in this Agreement and the fees available on the PETROFINDER Web Site. Member will be eligible to receive terms and fees no less favorable than any other member. 3.Fees and Commissions. Upon registration member for PETROFINDER and Upon notification of winners of each successful auction or exchange, Members agree to pay the fees ("Fees") according to the Fee & Commission Structure available at https://www.petrofinder.com/term/fees.html and incorporated herein by this reference. PETROFINDER will notify Member of increases in fees at least seven (7) business days prior to the effective date of such change. Changes to fees or fee structure will apply only to new registrations or auctions initiated after the notification period. No fee changes will be applied retroactively to requests or bids already active. If PETROFINDER would be a representative or legal mandate for buyers or sellers, then sellers or buyers have to pay the commissions according to the contract commission structure. 4.PETROFINDER is Only a Venue. PETROFINDER acts as the venue for our members to conduct transactions or auctions and to bid on other members' offers or auctions. The actual transaction occurs between buyers and sellers. We have no control over and are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality or condition of the goods or services advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings (or associated uploaded files) or the ability or capacity of any buyer or seller to participate in the transactions. We cannot and do not control whether sellers will complete the sale of items on which they have post and bid or buyers will complete the purchase of items that they have posted. In addition, Member acknowledges that it is aware that it may face additional risks of dealing with foreign nationals or people acting under false pretense. PETROFINDER has established a rating system, discussion forum, quality checks and a feedback system to help members better evaluate the buyers and sellers on the PETROFINDER web site. However, such systems are not foolproof, so PETROFINDER encourages members to act with due care and to use the contact information provided to communicate directly with trading partners to assist in evaluating the parties to each transaction or auction. Member hereby agrees to release PETROFINDER (and its agents, employees, officers and directors) from claims, demands and damages of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with listings, bids, uncompleted or completed transactions, or items offered or actually sold through the web site. Although PETROFINDER is not responsible for the accuracy, legality or decency of information or content contained on, distributed through, or linked, downloaded or accessed from any of the services contained in this web site, PETROFINDER will use reasonable commercial efforts to require that Members act professionally and responsibly. We reserve the right to take down any information that we deem unprofessional or irresponsible. However, any reliance by Member on such information, content or other materials shall be at Member's sole risk. 5.Bidding and Selling. Members agree to negotiate in good faith towards agreement after completion of an auction or exchange at the price submitted in the trade zone and in the bid, subject to customary business and credit checks. PETROFINDER will send an e-mail to the seller and the winning bidder notifying each party that the auction has closed, along with a reminder that the winning bidder is responsible for contacting the seller within three (3) days. If the winning bidder fails to contact the seller within (3) business days after the close of the auction, the seller may decide to sell from the next highest bidder. PETROFINDER does not verify, warrant or guarantee the condition of any goods or services offered for sale by any member. All goods and services are sold as specified in the offered or auction description. Any complaints or problems with services should be addressed to the seller. PETROFINDER is not involved in these or other disputes between buyers and sellers other than to provide each party, upon request, with the contact information of the other party. Neither Member nor PETROFINDER will be responsible for any transactions or auctions "lost" due to technical problems or service interruptions beyond PETROFINDER 's reasonable control. Whenever Member chooses to bid or transact on an item, you are certifying that (i) Member has the legal right in its jurisdiction to sell those goods or services; (ii) the sale of such goods or services is not subject to any Nation or United Nations embargo or ban; and (iii) Member has disclosed all restrictions, laws or regulations regarding the sale of such item. Each transaction and auction is independent and subject to any additional terms and conditions established by the buyer and seller. Because buyers and sellers are free to control the qualifying criteria for contracts to participate in their transactions and auctions. 6.Listing and Buying. Listings are descriptions of goods or services requested in a trade zone and auction appearing on PETROFINDER 's web site supplied by a Member. Member is solely responsible for all goods and services requested and for the information posted by it regarding such goods or services. Member may not post false or misleading information regarding goods or services requested for purchase or offered for sale.

Whenever a buyer lists a request for purchase, that buyer certifies that (i) it has the legal right in its jurisdiction to purchase the goods or services listed; (ii) the purchase of such goods or services is not subject to any nation or United Nations embargo or ban; and (iii) it has disclosed all restrictions, laws or regulations regarding the purchase of such goods or services.

With respect to Company Information: 7.1 Member is solely responsible for all Company Information, and PETROFINDER acts as a passive conduit for online distribution and publication of Company Information. PETROFINDER may take reasonable remedial actions with respect to such information (including disclosure to third parties), if PETROFINDER is required by law or believes it is necessary to prevent damage to or loss of our service or liability with respect to other parties. 7.2 Information posted in requests shall not: (a) infringe any third party's proprietary or intellectual property rights; (b) violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation; (c) be defamatory, trade libelous, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing; (d) be obscene, pornographic or indecent; (e) contain any computer programming routines that may damage, interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information; or (f) link directly to or include descriptions of goods or services that: (i) are identical to other goods or services Member has up for transaction or auction on the PETROFINDER site; (ii) are concurrently listed for transaction or auction on a web site other than PETROFINDER's; or (iii) Member does not have a right to link to or include. 7.3 So that PETROFINDER may deliver the PETROFINDER services pursuant to this Agreement without violating any rights the Member might have in the Company Information, Member hereby grants PETROFINDER a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to the Company Information solely for the purpose of operating PETROFINDER 's Web Site to provide the PETROFINDER Services.
