Terms & Conditions
The terms on which we make this website available, and how website content relates to any commercial agreement between us.
1. About these terms
These terms of use govern your access to and use of www.ibsagro.co.tz (the “website”). Please read them carefully. By using the website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the website.
These terms concern the website. They are not the terms on which we buy or sell commodities. Any purchase or supply is governed by the separate written contract, sales confirmation or purchase order agreed between us, which prevails over anything on this website if the two conflict.
2. Who we are
The website is operated by IBS Agro Trading Limited, a company registered in the United Republic of Tanzania. You can reach us at info@ibsagro.co.tz or +255 772 085 785.
Our company registration number with the Business Registrations and Licensing Agency (BRELA) is 208910493. Our tax identification number is available on request.
3. Acceptance and changes
We may amend these terms at any time by updating this page. The version in force is the one published here when you use the website, and the “last updated” date shows when it last changed. Please check this page from time to time.
4. Permitted use of the website
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable permission to access and use the website for your own internal business purposes — reviewing our commodity range and services, requesting a quotation, registering as a supplier, and contacting us. You may print or download extracts for those purposes provided you do not alter them and you keep all notices of ownership intact.
5. Things you must not do
You must not:
- use the website for any unlawful, fraudulent or misleading purpose;
- submit false, misleading or impersonated details through any enquiry, quotation or supplier form;
- copy, reproduce, republish, resell or systematically extract content from the website for commercial purposes without our written permission;
- use automated means to scrape, harvest or index the website beyond ordinary search-engine crawling;
- introduce viruses, malicious code or anything designed to harm the website or its users;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, the server it is hosted on, or any connected system;
- use the website to send unsolicited commercial messages, or to collect contact details for that purpose; or
- use our name, logo or brand in a way that suggests an association, endorsement or agency that does not exist.
We may suspend or withdraw access to the website, and report the matter to the relevant authorities, if we reasonably believe you have breached this section.
6. Intellectual property
All content on this website — including text, product descriptions, photographs, illustrations, graphics, layout, the IBS Agro name, the logo and the strapline “Quality Agricultural Commodities, Worldwide” — is owned by us or licensed to us and is protected by intellectual property rights. Nothing on this website transfers any of those rights to you.
Third-party names, logos and marks that appear on the website remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only.
7. Information on this website
Content on this website is provided for general information about our business and our commodity range. Product descriptions, specifications, grades, packaging options, capacities and lead times are indicative only and are subject to confirmation at contract stage. Please read our Disclaimer, which forms part of these terms.
8. Enquiries, quotations and contracts
- Nothing on this website is an offer capable of acceptance. Listings, descriptions and indicative figures are an invitation for you to make an enquiry.
- Submitting an enquiry or quotation request creates no contract and no obligation on either side. It is a request for us to respond.
- A quotation we issue is valid only for the period and on the terms stated in it, and may be withdrawn or revised before it is accepted.
- A binding contract arises only when we and you have agreed the commercial terms in writing — typically through a signed contract, sales confirmation or accepted purchase order identifying the commodity, specification, quantity, price, Incoterm, packaging, shipment period and payment terms.
- We may decline any enquiry or order at our discretion, including where a counterparty, destination or end use would breach applicable law or our internal policies.
9. Prices, availability and Incoterms
We do not publish prices on this website. Agricultural commodity prices move with harvest, quality, freight, currency and market conditions, so prices are quoted per enquiry and are valid only for the stated period.
Availability depends on harvest seasons, crop performance and existing commitments. A commodity described on the website may be out of season or fully committed at the time you enquire.
Where a quotation refers to an Incoterms rule, that rule is applied in the version identified in the quotation or contract, and allocates delivery, risk, cost and formalities between us accordingly.
10. Samples
Samples may be made available for genuine commercial enquiries at our discretion and subject to product availability, destination and any applicable import or phytosanitary rules. A sample is provided to indicate the general character of a commodity. Unless a contract expressly says so, a sample is not a warranty that every unit of a shipment will correspond exactly to it; natural agricultural products vary within agreed tolerances.
11. Website availability
We aim to keep the website available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. We may suspend, withdraw or restrict all or part of the website for maintenance or business reasons, without notice. You are responsible for the arrangements needed to access the website, and for making sure anyone accessing it through your connection is aware of these terms.
12. Links to other websites
Where the website links to third-party sites, resources or social media profiles, those links are provided for information only. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, accuracy or availability, and a link does not imply endorsement.
You may link to our home page in a fair and lawful way that does not damage our reputation or suggest an association that does not exist. You must not frame the website on another site without our written permission.
13. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under the law that applies.
Subject to that, and because the website is provided free of charge for information purposes:
- the website and its content are made available “as is”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, as to accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement;
- we are not liable for any loss of profit, loss of business, loss of contracts, loss of anticipated savings, loss of goodwill, or any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the website or your reliance on its content; and
- we are not liable for loss or damage caused by a virus or other technologically harmful material that infects your equipment through your use of the website or any linked site.
Our liability arising from any actual supply of goods or services is governed by the contract for that supply, not by these website terms.
14. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against any claim, loss, liability or reasonable cost we incur arising from your breach of these terms or your unlawful use of the website.
15. Privacy and data protection
We handle personal information supplied through this website in accordance with our Privacy Policy, and we use cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy. Both form part of these terms.
16. Trade compliance and business conduct
We expect everyone we deal with to trade lawfully and honestly. In particular, by dealing with us you confirm that you will not use our commodities, services or this website in connection with any transaction that would breach applicable export controls, sanctions, anti-bribery, anti-money-laundering or food-safety requirements in any relevant jurisdiction.
We may carry out counterparty checks before accepting business and may decline or discontinue a relationship where those checks are not satisfied.
17. Events outside our control
We are not responsible for any failure or delay in making the website available, or in performing any obligation described on it, that results from an event outside our reasonable control — including adverse weather, crop failure, disease, fire, flood, strike, civil unrest, act of government, port or border closure, failure of a public network, power outage or telecommunications failure.
18. General
- Severability. If any provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in force.
- No waiver. A delay in enforcing any provision is not a waiver of it.
- Assignment. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. You may not transfer yours without our written consent.
- Third parties. Only you and we have rights under these terms; no other person may enforce them.
- Entire agreement. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Disclaimer, are the whole of what has been agreed between us in relation to the website.
19. Governing law and disputes
These website terms and any dispute arising from them are intended to be governed by the laws of the United Republic of Tanzania, with the courts of Tanzania having jurisdiction. This clause, and any preference for arbitration in commercial contracts, must be confirmed by the company’s legal adviser before publication.
