Nothing in this provision shall be read to prohibit regular and commercially reasonable acceptable competitive business speech by you.
(b) You acknowledge that a breach of Paragraph 10(a) above will cause V-MORE to incur substantial economic damages and losses of types and in amounts which are impossible to compute and ascertain with certainty as a basis for recovery by us of actual damages because we cannot know in advance the impact of a breach on V-MORE’s reputation or business, nor can we readily ascertain what costs V-MORE will incur as a result. Accordingly, if you breach any of Paragraph 10(a), you shall pay V-MORE USD 5,000 or USD 1,000 per day that you remain in breach, which represents a fair, reasonable and appropriate estimate thereof.

(c) You also acknowledge that damages alone may not be an adequate remedy for the breach of any of the Terms. Accordingly, without prejudice to such damages, any other rights and remedies V-MORE may have, you acknowledge and agree that V-MORE shall be entitled to the granting of equitable relief (including without limitation to injunctive relief) concerning any threatened or actual breach of any of the Terms.

Terms of Sale
These Terms or Sale apply to any transactions via our V-MORE Portal relating to the sale and purchase of the Products listed on the V-MORE Portal, and to the purchase and/or grant of V-MORE Entitlements (defined below).
1. Our Role
Sale and purchase of Products via the V-MORE Portal. In the course of accessing the V-MORE Portal, you may place orders for Products listed in the catalogues and perform other transactions and, due to certain promotions that we carry out, you may even be redirected to third-party platforms to place orders. We may either facilitate sales directly to Merchants, or alternatively we may sell Products directly, meaning on our own account.
In the case where we facilitate the direct sale of Products from Merchants, V-MORE (i) does not have possession of any Product listed or sold through the V-MORE Portal; and (ii) V-MORE is neither the buyer nor the seller of the listed Products. In such case, V-MORE is not involved in the actual transaction between Merchant and Customer, therefore accordingly, the contract formed at the completion of a sale for the listed Product(s) is solely and directly between Merchant and Customer. Consequently, and for the avoidance of doubt, should you need to request cancellation of your sale or a refund, such request must be made directly to the Merchant. We do not take responsibility for communicating to Merchant any request made by you to us.
In the alternate case where we sell Products directly to Customer on our own account, the contract formed at the completion of a sale for the listed Product is between us and the Customer.
In either case above, we are not responsible for examining or evaluating, and we do not warrant the offerings of Products.
Where we facilitate the direct sale of Products from Merchants, V-MORE does not assume any responsibility or liability for the actions, product, and content of all of these or any other third parties. We may share your information related to your order with the respective Merchant(s). You should carefully review their privacy statements and other conditions of use.
Promotions: Sale and grant of V-MORE Entitlements. In the course of accessing the V-MORE Portal, you may receive entitlements or sets of entitlements that will be described to you more particularly when they are offered to you (“V-MORE Entitlements”). These V-MORE Entitlements may be either offered to you for purchase, or granted to you free-of-charge. These V-MORE Entitlements may be packaged individually or in predetermined customized sets and may be described by us using various descriptors and names such as “points”, “tickets”, etc. These V-MORE Entitlements may be used in different ways including without limitation to redeeming Products via the V-MORE Portal or such other uses which will be determined by us and described to you. These V-MORE Entitlements are subject to an expiry period notified to you after which you will lose the V-MORE Entitlements even if you have not utilised them. You should be aware of the expiry date of your V-MORE Entitlements and whether they may be extended, and if so, under what terms and conditions.
2. Pricing, Availability and Information relating to Products listed on the V-MORE Portal
We list available information for Products displayed on the V-MORE Portal. If the Product is unavailable, and you are ordered such Product for yourself, we will endeavour to inform you by e-mail as soon as possible, and you will not be charged for the Product.
Please note that unless otherwise stated, delivery estimates are just that. They are not guaranteed delivery times and should not be relied upon as such.
Despite our best efforts, a number of the items in our catalogue may be mispriced. If we have made a mistake, please contact our support staff.
In the case where V-MORE is not the manufacturer or seller of the Products displayed on the V-MORE Portal, we will work to ensure that Product information on the V-MORE Portal is correct, but you accept that actual Product packaging and materials may contain more or different information to that displayed on our website. All information about the Products on the V-MORE Portal is provided for informational purposes only and are not intended to be binding.
3. Pricing, and Information relating to V-MORE Entitlements
We will provide appropriate information for V-MORE Entitlements as and when they are offered to you.
4. Our liability
You agree to waive the right to bring any claim against V-MORE or any Customer or Merchant arising (i) from the sale and purchase of Products listed on the V-MORE Portal; (ii) from the sale, purchase and grant of V-MORE Entitlements; and (iii) out of or in any way relating to these Terms of Sale, more than one (1) year after our Services are discontinued, expired, terminated or otherwise ceased, or one (1) year after the date of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the basis of a claim, whichever the earlier date. In the latter case, where an event is not an instantaneous event but occurs over a period of time, or if the basis of a claim arises from a series of events, then the one (1) year period shall be deemed to commence from the first day of such event, or the first day of the first event of such series, respectively.
V-MORE's total liability to Customers in the aggregate with respect to all claims arising from or related to the subject matter of these Terms of Sale (including attorney’s fees) will not exceed the lowest of the three figures as follows: (i) the amount actually paid by Customer to V-MORE for the three (3) month period immediately preceding the month in which the first claim arose or the price of a product; (ii) the price of one unit of such Product (in the case where the claim arises in respect of the Customers’ purchase of a product); or (iii) USD 5,000.
In the event you breach any of the Terms of Sale, you agree to indemnify V-MORE all costs, expenses, disbursements, expenditures, outlaws, overheads, outgoings, and any other amounts incurred by V-MORE on a full indemnity basis promptly upon V-MORE’s request.
5. Customs
Some delivery may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches the specified destination. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you as we have not control over those charges. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so you should contact your local customs office for further information.
Additionally, please note that when you submit orders to V-MORE, you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the Products. Your privacy is important to us and we would like our international customers to be aware that cross-border deliveries are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities.
6. Right of Cancellation & Refund of Products listed on the V-MORE Portal
V-MORE may sell to you Products from third parties or on its own account. Where V-MORE sells to you Products from third parties, Customers will be subject to the respective Merchant’s cancellation and refund policies (if any and where applicable). Where V-MORE sells to you Products on its own account, you may request for (a) cancellation of your order of a particular Product within seven (7) working days from the date you placed an order for the Product and / or (b) refund within seven (7) working days from the date you receive the Product ordered via the V-MORE Portal (“Cancellation Deadline”). However, we reserve the right to accept or reject such requests made within the Cancellation Deadline at our sole and absolute discretion. Where applicable, refunds may be granted upon receipt of the Product in question in good condition. In any case, we reserve the right to accept or reject such requests made within the Cancellation Deadline at our sole and absolute discretion. Where applicable, refunds may be granted upon receipt of the Product in question in good condition.
We are not responsible for examining or evaluating, and we do not warrant the offerings or policies of, any of the Merchants. V-MORE does not assume any responsibility or liability for the actions, product, and content of all of these or any other third parties. You should carefully review their cancellation and refund policies.
You must inform us of your decision to cancel your order promptly through the V-MORE Platform. Then, you must send back the Products in strict compliance with the instructions we provide (if any) no later than the Cancellation Deadline. You will have to bear direct and indirect costs of returning these Products. You will be liable if the value of the Products returned diminishes due to the handling of the Products (except when it was necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Products).
For additional information on the scope, content and instructions for the exercise, please contact us.
For purposes of Products that are physically delivered, upon our acceptance of your request for cancellation and our receipt of all cancelled Products in the condition delivered to you within the Cancellation Deadline to our satisfaction, we will reimburse all payments received from you for the Products purchased and we may, at our sole and absolute discretion, also reimburse delivery charges for the least expensive type of delivery offered by us, no later than 7 days from the day on which we receive the above communication. Note that any V-MORE Entitlements already consumed is not eligible for return. Where refund is effected by us, it is preferable that we will use the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have initially expressly indicated otherwise. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the Products back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the Products.
7. Right of Cancellation & Refund of V-MORE Entitlements
When V-MORE Entitlements are granted to you free-of-charge, such V-MORE Entitlements can only be used in the manner described to you.
When you purchase V-MORE Entitlements, these purchases include a seven (7) working days full refund option from the date of purchase of the Entitlements.
When you use V-MORE Entitlements, such use is irrevocable and may not be rescinded under any circumstances except at our sole and absolute discretion.
In the event that we are made aware that the V-MORE Portal will be discontinued, V-MORE will endeavour to provide all Customers with a notice of such closure of at least one (1) month. In such event, Customers are therefore strongly encouraged to use up all V-MORE Entitlements before the V-MORE Portal is terminated.

For the purposes of this Clause 4.17, “Personal Data” means: (a) any data, whether true or not, about an individual (whether living or deceased) who can be identified: (i) from that data, or (ii) from that data and other information to which the organisation has or is likely to have access; and (b) any data defined by any legislation, subsidiary legislation, rules, regulations, directives, guidelines, policies or any other legal or quasi-legal regulations (“Relevant Legislation” for purposes of this Clause 4.17) to be personal data and subject to regulation by such Legislation.

(d) any information from or relating to Customer’s use of the Portal Services, provided that the following cannot be identified from such information: full name, national identification number, passport number, personal contact information, facial image, voice, fingerprint, iris image or DNA profile.
(e) Clause 4.17 and 4.18 shall be read together with the Data Protection Notice as far as the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 is concern.
4.19. Acceptable Use.
4.19.1. If V-MORE reasonably believes in its sole opinion that any of Customer’s information may (i) create liability for V-MORE or the Merchant or any other third party, or (ii) damage the hardware or software of V-MORE or any other third party, or (iii) otherwise cause harm to V-MORE or any other third party, V-MORE may notify Customer of such belief and of its intention to act, and immediately thereafter remove such information from its systems or otherwise limit Customer’s use of the Portal Services.
4.19.2. Upon the termination of the Portal Services, for any reason, all software licences granted by V-MORE (if any) will terminate immediately, and Customer will return or destroy any copies of any software licensed to Customer by V-MORE, if any. Termination shall not affect V-MORE’s accrued rights or liabilities under these GTCs.
4.20. Force Majeure. Under no circumstances shall V-MORE be held liable for any delay or failure or disruption of the content or services delivered through the Portal Services resulting directly or indirectly from acts of nature, forces or causes beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation, internet failures, computer, telecommunications or any other equipment failures, electrical power failures, strikes, labour disputes, riots, insurrections, civil disturbances, shortages of labour or material, fire, flood, storms, explosions, acts of God, war, governmental actions, orders of domestic or foreign courts or tribunals, or non-performance of third parties.
4.21. Corrupt Practices. It is the intent of the parties that no payments or transfers of value by Customer: (a) in connection with this Agreement or (b) relates to a matter connected with the subject matter of this Agreement; shall be made that have the purpose or effect of public or commercial bribery, or acceptance of or acquiescence in, extortion, kickbacks, or other unlawful or improper means of obtaining business. Customer hereby represents, warrants, and covenants that Customer and Customer’s Affiliates are fully aware of the provisions of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (referred to in this Clause as “FCPA”), 15 U.S.C. §§78dd-1, et seq., as amended regarding, among other things, payments to government officials, and that Customer and Customer’s Affiliates will use, have used, procure, purchase, obtain the Portal Services in compliance with the FCPA and all other applicable international, federal, state and local laws, including but not limited to all bribery and corruption laws in all relevant jurisdictions in which Customer, Customer’s Affiliates and V-MORE operate in.
4.22. Non-Disparagements.
4.22.1. You represent and agree that you will not at any time during your use of the Portal Services, and in respect of the purchase of any Product, through any medium, either orally or in writing, including, but not limited to, electronic mail, television or radio, computer networks or Internet bulletin boards, blogs, social media, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter, or any other form of communication, disparage, defame, impugn, damage or assail the reputation, or cause or tend to cause the recipient of a communication to question the business condition, integrity, competence, good character, professionalism, or product quality of V-MORE or its stockholders, directors, officers, employees, services or business practices, as applicable, whether by virtue of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the details covered by provisions of this Agreement, except as follows: your counsel, immediate family, or spouse, when such disclosure is required by a subpoena issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, and except as required by law or order of court. Nothing in this provision shall be read to prohibit regular and commercially reasonable acceptable competitive business speech by you.
4.22.2. You acknowledge that a breach of Clause 4.22.1 above will cause V-MORE to incur substantial economic damages and losses of types and in amounts which are impossible to compute and ascertain with certainty as a basis for recovery by us of actual damages because we cannot know in advance the impact of a breach on V-MORE’s reputation or business, nor can we readily ascertain what costs V-MORE will incur as a result. Accordingly, if you breach any of Clause 4.22.2, you shall pay V-MORE USD 5,000 or USD 1,000 per day that you remain in breach, which represents a fair, reasonable and appropriate estimate thereof. You agree that the agreed upon sum is not a penalty, but rather a reasonable measure of damages given the nature of the losses that may result from breach.
4.22.3. You also acknowledge that damages alone may not be an adequate remedy for the breach of any provisions of this Agreement. Accordingly, without prejudice to such damages, any other rights and remedies V-MORE may have, you acknowledge and agree that V-MORE shall be entitled to the granting of equitable relief (including without limitation to injunctive relief) concerning any threatened or actual breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
