2.2.                  LISTING. The Partner's machines, that it decides to offer, through the Service must always be properly uploaded to the Platform - this means uploading the machine information to the Platform so that the respective machine can be offered through the Platform (“Listing”). The method of listing to the Platform always depends on the agreement between the Partner and EXAPRO. Listing can be done either manually by either Partner or EXAPRO, or automatically by EXAPRO (e.g. by scraping the Partner's website or by providing API access to the Partner's database).

2.3.                  CONNECTION WITH THE BUYER. If a potential buyer expresses interest in purchasing a Listed machine via the Platform, EXAPRO undertakes to inform the Partner about this connection via email and/or notifications to the Partner's information system (if the Partner provides the relevant API).

2.4.                  LIABILITY FOR THE LISTING. Whichever way the Listing is conducted, the Partner hereby agree that all information submitted through the Listing will be true, accurate, current, and complete, and that the Partner will maintain the accuracy of such information and promptly update such information as necessary. If the Partner provides any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, EXAPRO has the right to suspend the provision of the Service, until the information is corrected. 

2.5.                  CANCELATION OF THE LISTING. EXAPRO may decide to cancel the Listing of a Partner's machine - in particular, if the machine does not fit the portfolio of machines that are usually offered through the Platform by other users or if EXAPRO has any doubt whether and how the Partner will be able to meet its obligations to the potential buyer of the machine.

2.6.                  NO AGENCY. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties state that EXAPRO does not operate as a business agent. EXAPRO is not liable for whether and how the Partner will conduct negotiations on the final sale with a potential buyer who responds to its Listed machine.

3.6.                  USAGE PLAN UPGRADE. In case that during the Subscription Period the Partner decides to upgrade to Usage Plan with a longer Subscription Period or more listings per Subscription Period, then at the moment of the change of the Usage Plan the original subscription is cancelled and a new one starts.
