General Terms & Conditions

Our service exists to provide an unbiased and secure platform from which you are able to exchange trading experiences and share payment history information with others in your industry.  The service is operated on a ‘closed user group’ basis and the information that we collect and process from you remains within the group.  As a subscriber you should not pass information to any third party outside of the ‘closed user group’.
