2. Pellea’s contractual model & a description of the facilitation Service
2.1. Upon your agreement to these Terms and Conditions, Pellea will periodically furnish you with the contact details of potential Customers or Clients, as further detailed below.
2.2. Pellea administers the Website, designed to streamline the dissemination of Prospective Customers’ or Clients’ contact details to Merchants, enabling the provision of a diverse array of Services.
2.3. Potential Customers or Clients can utilize the Website’s search functionality to explore Merchant profiles and store information, and details about products/services. This allows them to assess whether the offerings align with their requirements. Conversely, Merchants can search the Website for information on Prospective Customers or Clients, focusing on the basic information provided in their profiles. Upon a Prospective Customer’s or Client’s Booking with a Merchant on the Website, we will furnish the Merchant with the contact details of the respective Customer or Client. It is the Merchant’s responsibility to initiate contact with the Customer or Client for supplementary information and logistical purposes.
2.4. Upon acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, you acknowledge the necessity to register as a “merchant” or “supplier” on the Website to deliver the Services. Prospective Customers or Clients will initiate requests for a Merchant, and it is at your discretion to accept or decline the request. If you choose to accept, the Prospective Customer or Client must complete the Booking by remitting the applicable Fees. Following the completion of the Booking with the Merchant on the website, you will be granted access to the relevant contact details of the Prospective Customer or Client. Pellea will provide you with the contact details furnished by Prospective Customers or Clients, henceforth referred to as Contacts, facilitating direct communication. Once you engage with the Contact for additional informational and logistical purposes, they will transition into a Customer or Client of the Merchant and may be subjected to the Merchant’s legal terms of service.
2.5. Upon the successful registration of a Merchant on the Website, Pellea will grant the Merchant access to the Merchant’s profile on the website. This profile includes a feature allowing Customers or Clients to evaluate the Merchant’s performance, and such reviews will be publicly visible on the Website for Prospective Customers or Clients. You acknowledge and agree that the opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of the Customers or Clients, and Pellea bears no liability to you for the content of such reviews. It is your responsibility to ensure that any website linked to your profile on the Website adheres to all applicable laws, guidelines, and regulations.
Important: Pellea functions solely as a facilitator of the Contacts mentioned above, and Merchants bear the responsibility of defining the legal terms of services provided to the Customer or Client. In the event of any issues with the performance of the Services by you, the Customer or Client retains legal rights of recourse against you, the Merchant, directly.
3. Quality of the Facilitation Services

3.3 The Website and the Facilitation Services do not guarantee your success in securing a Booking from a Prospective Customer or Client for the Services.

You are not entitled to any Fees from us if a Booking with the Merchant by a Prospective Customer or Client does not materialize.
4. The Merchant’s obligations
4.1.
