4. Relationship Among Buyers, Roastfe, and Suppliers

4.1 Roastfe is an online agent for all Buyers, collecting purchase orders from the Buyers, to reinforce its price negotiation advantage against the Suppliers. It acts on behalf of the Buyers to purchase the products designated by the Buyers. Through the Site, Roastfe provides an electronic web-based platform for displaying the products information and other common terms and conditions of the transactions provided by the Suppliers.

4.2 Despite the provision of the platform through the Site, Roastfe does not represent the Supplier in specific transactions via the Site. No sales agency relationship is created between any Supplier and Roastfe, our affiliates, directors, officers or employees by virtue of Roastfe’s display of any of products supplied by the sellers. The sales contract is entered in to between the Buyer and the Supplier.

4.3 Users are hereby made aware that there may be risks of dealing with people acting under false pretenses. Roastfe has very strict systems in selecting reliable suppliers. Roastfe cannot control and is not liable to or responsible for the availability of the products or services offered for sale displayed on the Site. Therefore, Roastfe will not and cannot warrant to the Buyers that the purchase orders placed through the Site will be eventually fulfilled. There are situations that the Suppliers may have ceased to provide such products or provide such products at a different price, in which situations the payment paid by the Buyer to our PayPal Account will be returned to the Buyers or will be adjusted in such manner acceptable to the Buyers.

4.4 The risks of purchase transactions when using the Site to conduct transactions shall include misrepresentation of products and services, fraudulent schemes, unsatisfactory quality, failure to meet specifications, defective or dangerous products, delay or default in delivery, cost miscalculations, and transportation accidents. All of the foregoing risks are hereafter referred to as “Transaction Risks.” All items purchased from Roastfe are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to the user upon our delivery to the carrier. But when the user submits the issues that may arise as a result of or in connection with the transaction risks on the website, we will help the user to solve the problem in due course per the user’s requirement.

4.5 Users are solely responsible for all of the terms and conditions of the transactions conducted on, through, or as a result of use of the Site, including, without limitation, returns, warranties, shipping, insurance, fees, taxes, title, licenses, fines, permits, handling, transportation, and storage. In case the terms and conditions of the Transactions have been changed, and such change is notified to Roastfe by some specific Suppliers, Roastfe will post such amended terms of conditions on the Site. The mere obligation of Roastfe is to display such terms and conditions of the transactions subject to amendment by the Suppliers from time to time. There may be situations that the Buyers have placed orders while the terms and conditions of the transactions are changed. Roastfe will, as instructed by the seller, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.

4.6 Except where noted otherwise, the List Price displayed for products on the Site represents the price suggested by the supplier. The List Price is a comparative price estimate and may or may not represent the prevailing price in every area on any particular day. With respect to items sold on the Site, Roastfe cannot confirm the price of an item until you order. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items in the catalog may be mispriced. In the event that a product is mistakenly listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect specifications, Roastfe reserves the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for the product listed incorrectly, whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. Roastfe will notify you of such cancellation and make necessary compensation to you after friendly consultation with you. In no event shall Roastfe be obligated to provide you with the merchandise at the incorrect price.

4.7 In the event that any User has a dispute with any party to a transaction, such User agrees to release and indemnify Roastfe (and our agents, affiliates, directors, officers, and employees) from all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, costs, expenses, and damages (including without limitation any actual, special, incidental or consequential damages) arising out of or in connection with such transaction.

4.8 The colors shown on the Site may be influenced by the settings of your computer or your monitor. Accordingly, Roastfe makes no guarantees that any actual colors of products or features will be true or accurate.

4.9 An order may be canceled for a full refund at any time until the order is shipped.

4.10 Please note that there may be certain orders that we are unable to accept and must cancel. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any order for any reason. Some situations that may result in your order being canceled include limitations on quantities available for purchase, inaccuracies or errors in product or pricing information, or problems identified by our credit and fraud avoidance department. We will contact you if all or any portion of your order is canceled.

4.11 Roastfe reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, and/or cancel orders in its discretion, including, without limitation, if Roastfe believes that customer conduct violates applicable law or is harmful to Roastfe’s interests.

5. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Protection Policy

5.1 Roastfe respects the intellectual property rights of others, and we expect our users to do the same. Unauthorized use of another party’s materials and trademarks are dealt with severely on our website. Unless otherwise noted, the Site as a whole and materials that are part of the Site (collectively, ‘Contents’) are copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property owned, controlled, or licensed by Roastfe or its affiliates and may not be used by you for any commercial purpose without Roastfe’s written consent.

5.2 Roastfe will request each seller to ensure that listing of counterfeits, non-licensed replicas, or unauthorized products such as counterfeit designer garment, watches, handbags, sunglasses or other accessories is strictly prohibited on Roastfe, and no products can be displayed on Roastfe without the explicit permission from the intellectual property right holder. Branded products are permitted to be displayed on Roastfe if a certificate of authorization has been issued by the brand owner.

5.3 Repeat violations of our IPR policy may result in a range of actions, including removal of listings(s). The following actions are used as a deterrent against infringement of IPR:

  • Voluntary review and removal of listings that appear to offer counterfeit, non-licensed replicas, or unauthorized items.
  • Prompt removal of listing(s) when an intellectual property infringement claim is filed by the trademark holder against any seller who are the suppliers of such listed products;
  • Written notification with appropriate reason(s) given to sellers who have their product(s) removed on Roastfe for suspicion of infringing the IPR of others.
  • Written notification to sellers whose products are claimed to infringe on other’s IPR. Parties involved will have equal opportunities to respond to such charges.
  • Termination, when appropriate, of the listings of the sellers who are repeat offenders.

With thousands of Users trading on Roastfe each day, we expect each and every seller to behave responsibly. We request those who assert claims of infringement to stand behind their claims. By submitting a report of alleged infringement to Roastfe, you agree to indemnify Roastfe against claims or damages arising from the removal of the listing.

5.4 How to report an alleged IPR infringement to Roastfe:

If you have a good faith belief that a listing on the Site infringes your copyright, trademark, patent, or other intellectual property rights, you may download and fill in Roastfe’s Notice of Claimed IPR Infringement Form and report it to us at [email protected]. The completed Notice should specifically identify the seller and each and every link which is claimed to be infringing your rights (specific URL). The complainant must upload the following materials as the attachment for qualification verification:

  • Rights proof: According to the rights asserted, please provide rights proof, such as a patent registration certificate, trademark registration certificate, and copyright registration certificate, etc. (note: registration certificate of the intellectual property rights should be provided; application advice / acknowledgement is insufficient rights proof)
  • Identification proof:
    • Individual: ID card, passport, and other identification proof documents.
    • Enterprise: Business license and other industrial and commercial registration documents.
  • Rights-holder authorization proof: If the complainant is not the rights-holder, they must produce authorization or agency certificate duly signed or sealed by the rights-holder.

Upon receipt of the aforesaid Notice and other information, we will promptly evaluate your complaint, and in cases where it is appropriate, we will expeditiously take down the listing referred to in your claim.
We will notify the seller in writing of the removal of the claimed infringing product listing and provide the seller with your contact information so that the seller may contact you directly and with an opportunity to respond.
If the seller objects to the removal of the alleged infringing product listing, the seller may submit to us an appropriate counter-notice to dispute the claim. Upon receipt of such counter-notice, we may resume the seller’s listing unless we receive notice from you that an action has been filed against the member in a court of competent jurisdiction for infringement of your intellectual property rights.

If you need to send us paper documents, please send the related products and paper documents to the following address: Room NO..404, 4F/L, BlockB，JingyiSci-tech mansion，No.9, the East Big Bell Temple Road，Haidian District, Beijing Municipality，PRC. So that Dropship can receive and dispose of them in time. Please note that this is the only legal address on Roastfe that deals with product infringement.
