4.4 Buyer agrees to pay the full transaction price listed for the Transaction to the Seller and/or Shipper. When using Blkcommodities.com to submit payment for an Online Transaction, payments are processed through one our affiliates and/or third-party transaction service providers. Sellers and Shippers agree that the Buyer’s full payment of the transaction price listed for the Online Transaction through Blkcommodities.com or its affiliates or third-party transaction service providers constitutes final payment (in case of full advance payment required by Shipper and/or Seller) and Buyer’s payment obligations for the Online Transaction are fully satisfied upon receipt of the funds.

In the event that Buyer does not utilise Blkcommodities.com Online Transaction facilities and, if Sellers and Shippers allow payments in instalments or other credit facilities, upon completion of an order through Blkcommodities.com and generation of relevant Purchase Order (“PO”) that constitutes the Contract between Buyer and Seller or between Buyer and Shipper, you agree that the transaction is regarded as concluded and therefore authorise BLK Global to invoice you for our Services in accordance with this Agreement or any other applicable agreement. Copies of the relevant Purchase Order shall be emailed and/or made available to all the interested parties involved in the Transaction.

4.5 You further agree that it is your sole responsibility to collect any and all payments in relation to the PO generated upon order confirmation and hereby agree not to hold BLK Global, its affiliates, directors, employees, agents and authorised officers liable for any loss or damage arising out of or in connection with the relevant Purchase Order.

We will seek prior confirmation from you and advise in advance on the amount of fees before proceeding.

4.10 You may engage one or more third-party Sub-contractors for the purpose of completing and fulfilling a Transaction, such as warehousing and logistic service companies, shipping agents, inspection agents, insurance companies, freight and cargo brokers, etc. Some of such third-party Sub-contractors may be partners of Blkcommodities.com and thus designated by Blkcommodities.com to you. Among such designated partners, you may be required to agree and accept the terms and conditions of their services online within the Site. Notwithstanding the foregoing circumstances, for all third-party Sub-contractors, you acknowledge and agree that such third-party Sub-contractors are engaged at your own discretion and cost and that you will not hold Blkcommodities.com and our affiliates and agents liable for any losses, damages, claims, liabilities, costs or expenses arising out of or in connection with the services of such third-party Sub-contractors. You further acknowledge that BLK Global may receive fees and/or commissions from the third-party Sub-contractors and that these may be borne indirectly by you whenever any of the third-party Sub-contractors invoices you for their services.

4.11 If you are required to conclude and complete a Transaction through an agent e.g. a Seller may be required to engage a qualified import and export agent as its export agent, such agent is merely an agent of you.

5.3 The service fees charged by Blkcommodities.com do not include any fees for any other service or product that you may acquire or purchase or benefit from in connection with any Transaction. It shall be your responsibility to settle the fees with such third-party Sub-contractors and you hereby agree that third-party Sub-contractors and/or transaction service providers may invoice you for the services provided by them or deduct their fees directly from the payment upon execution of Online Transactions through the Site.

If you are a Seller or a Shipper, the third-party transaction service provider will process the payment and may deduct a fee that will be collected directly when the payment is processed.
