TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT

THIS IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND ECOBLY LLC (“ECOBLY”) REGARDING THE TERMS UNDER WHICH YOU MAY USE THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY ECOBLY (COLLECTIVELY, THE “SERVICE”), INCLUDING THE ECOBLY WEBSITE AND THE ECOBLY COMPANY MEMBERSHIP (IF APPLICABLE).

BY USING THE SERVICE, YOU ARE INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, THAT YOU UNDERSTAND IT, AND THAT YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY PART OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SERVICE AND YOU SHOULD DISCONTINUE USE OF THE ECOBLY WEBSITE.

1. Service for Informational Use Only.

a. The Ecobly certification is intended to help provide information to consumers to assist them in finding local producers of goods and services. The Ecobly certification and company membership are based on a review of the company's business and business practices as a whole, rather than its individual products. Before granting certification to an applicant company, the Ecobly staff review and analyze the questionnaires submitted by the companies and may contact the company for more information. In some cases, Ecobly may also make its own investigation of certain claims made by the applicant company. The company must agree to the Ecobly Agreement with Member Companies.

b. Despite this process, please be aware that Ecobly cannot directly investigate, test and analyze all aspects of each member company (a “Member”). Ecobly also does not test or endorse particular products. An Ecobly certification cannot guarantee that a Member's products will perform well in all circumstances or that the products will suit your needs, and the Ecobly certification is not a substitute for your own review of products. YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE ORIGIN, PERFORMANCE, SAFETY, AND OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF ANY GOODS AND SERVICES THAT YOU BUY FROM ANY ECOBLY MEMBER COMPANIES TO ENSURE THEY MEET YOUR NEEDS AND REQUIREMENTS.

c. You should be aware that the Ecobly certification relates to a Member's entire business as a whole. Due to diverse ranges of products carried by some Members, it is possible that a Member may also sell some products that are not made locally in order for it to offer a complete product line to its customer. We encourage you to ask the Member where and how the particular products you are purchasing are produced.

d. If you do not think a Member is complying with the Ecobly Agreement with Member Companies, please send us an e-mail to let us know.
