Portal Access
Where you are provided access to our dealer ordering portal, bulk upload facility, sFTP integration, API connection, or any other electronic ordering method made available by us from time to time, together referred to as the “Portal”, you must ensure that access is limited to your authorised employees, representatives, contractors or agents acting on your behalf, together referred to as “Authorised Users”.
Portal access is provided for business-to-business use only and is made available to support ordering by approved dealers, resellers, distributors or account customers. Portal access may be subject to additional rules, permissions, technical controls, file formats, security requirements or operating procedures communicated by us from time to time.
Account Administration and Authorised Users
You are responsible for administering and controlling access to your dealer account and Portal users. This includes:
(a) ensuring only Authorised Users have access;
(b) promptly removing or suspending access for anyone who no longer requires it, including leavers, role changes or external users;
(c) ensuring users do not share credentials and, where supported, that each Authorised User uses their own login;
(d) ensuring all information linked to your account, including contact details, trading details, delivery addresses, billing details and user lists, is accurate and kept up to date; and
(e) ensuring your internal approval processes are sufficient to control who may place orders on your behalf.
Access Credentials and Security Responsibilities
You are solely responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of all login credentials, passwords, access links, authentication methods, sFTP credentials, API keys or other access methods used to access the Portal or submit orders.
You must take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorised access or misuse, including appropriate internal security controls, user management, staff training and prompt removal of access where required.
You must not allow credentials or access methods to be shared, transferred, disclosed or used by anyone other than an Authorised User.
Orders Placed Through the Portal
Any order submitted through the Portal, including manual portal orders, bulk upload orders, sFTP orders, API orders or any other electronic order submitted using valid credentials, access methods or approved dealer account details, will be treated as an order submitted by an Authorised User on your behalf.
We may rely on such orders without further verification of identity, authority or internal approval, except where we reasonably suspect fraud, error, misuse, unauthorised access or breach of these terms.
By submitting an order through the Portal, you confirm that:
(a) the person submitting the order is authorised to do so on your behalf;
(b) the order has been reviewed before submission;
(c) the products, quantities, pricing, delivery details and account information are correct to the best of your knowledge;
(d) the order is submitted for business purposes; and
(e) the order is subject to these Dealer Portal terms, our applicable sales terms, and any agreed credit account terms.
The online ordering process should allow customers to review and correct order details before submission, which aligns with UK online selling guidance around order steps and error correction.
Contract Formation and Order Acceptance
Submission of an order through the Portal does not automatically mean that we have accepted the order.
Unless otherwise stated in our applicable sales terms, an order is an offer by you to purchase the relevant products. We may accept, reject, cancel or amend an order in accordance with our applicable sales terms, including where products are unavailable, pricing is incorrect, credit limits are exceeded, payment terms have not been met, or we reasonably suspect fraud, misuse or unauthorised activity.
For the avoidance of doubt, contract formation and acceptance of orders is governed by the Orders and Contract Formation section of our applicable sales terms.
Order Confirmation and Acceptance of Terms
We may require Authorised Users to actively confirm acceptance of the applicable Dealer Portal terms, sales terms and/or credit account terms during account setup, first use, order submission, bulk upload submission, sFTP onboarding, or following any material update to the terms.
We may record acceptance and order activity for audit, security, fraud prevention, operational and dispute-resolution purposes. Records may include the dealer account, user details, order number, date and time, IP address, access method, order channel, and version of the terms accepted.
This is stronger than asking for acceptance at every login because the acceptance is tied to the actual commercial transaction.
Bulk Upload, sFTP and Integrated Orders
Where we permit you to submit orders by bulk upload, sFTP, API or other integrated method, you are responsible for ensuring that:
(a) the submitted file, data or order feed is accurate and complete;
(b) the correct product codes, quantities, delivery details and account information are used;
(c) duplicate, test or erroneous files are not submitted as live orders;
(d) only Authorised Users or approved systems submit orders; and
(e) any technical issue, file error, integration error or suspected duplicate submission is reported to us promptly.
Any order received through an approved bulk upload, sFTP, API or integration method using your account credentials or approved connection details may be treated as an authorised order submitted on your behalf.
Credit Account and Payment Responsibility
Where you order on account, you remain responsible for payment of all accepted orders submitted through the Portal in accordance with your agreed credit terms.
We may suspend, restrict or withdraw Portal access, refuse orders, place accounts on hold, reduce or remove credit facilities, or require prepayment where:
(a) invoices are overdue;
(b) credit limits are exceeded;
(c) there is a dispute or concern regarding account use;
(d) we reasonably suspect fraud, misuse or unauthorised access; or
(e) you breach these terms or any applicable sales or credit account terms.
Nothing in these Portal terms limits our rights under any separate credit application, credit agreement, sales terms, invoice terms or debt recovery rights available to us.
Compromise, Misuse and Notification
You must notify us as soon as reasonably practicable if you become aware of any actual or suspected:
(a) unauthorised use of the Portal;
(b) loss, disclosure or compromise of credentials;
(c) misuse of bulk upload, sFTP, API or integration access;
(d) incorrect, duplicate or unauthorised order submission; or
(e) circumstance that materially increases the risk of unauthorised access, including the termination or role change of an individual who had Portal access.
Upon receipt of your notice, we will use reasonable endeavours to suspend, restrict or secure the affected access within a reasonable time.
Responsibility for Orders Before Suspension
You remain responsible for all orders submitted using your credentials, account details, bulk upload access, sFTP access, API credentials or other approved access methods up to the time we implement the relevant suspension or restriction.
We will not be responsible for delay in suspension where this is caused by incomplete or unclear information from you, inability to identify the affected account, user, file, credential or order, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.
Liability for Unauthorised Use
Nothing in this section excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.
Subject to the above, the Limitation of Liability section of our applicable sales terms, and to the extent permitted by law, including where applicable the reasonableness test under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977, we will not be liable for losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses arising from unauthorised Portal use where such use results from your failure to keep credentials secure, manage Authorised User access appropriately, maintain accurate account details, or notify us promptly of suspected compromise or misuse.
Monitoring, Audit Logs and Security Controls
We may monitor Portal activity and maintain audit logs for security, fraud prevention, operational support, order processing, account administration, compliance and dispute-resolution purposes.
Further information about how we process personal data is set out in our Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy. Where we rely on legitimate interests for security monitoring, fraud prevention, audit logging or operational protection, we will do so in accordance with applicable data protection laws. ICO guidance recognises legitimate interests as a lawful basis where the purpose is necessary and balanced against individuals’ rights and interests.
Suspension or Withdrawal of Portal Access
Without limiting any other rights we have under these terms, we may suspend, restrict or withdraw Portal access, in whole or in part, where we reasonably consider it necessary for security, suspected misuse, fraud prevention, operational reasons, overdue payment, credit risk, breach of these terms, or breach of any applicable sales or credit account terms.
