We are registered in England and Wales under company number 03281866 and have our registered office at Meridian House, Farringdon Street, London EC4A 4HL.

ACCESSING OUR SITE
Access to our site is permitted on a temporary basis, and we reserve the right to withdraw or amend the service we provide on our site without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason our site is unavailable at any time or for any period.
From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of our site, or our entire site, to users who have registered with us.
You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to our site including the use of equipment which is compatible with our site. You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access our site through your internet connection are aware of these terms, and that they comply with them.
For the best experience, IAM Market recommends the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge. IAM Market will support the latest release and one earlier release of the current recommend browsers. IAM Market reserves the right not to fix issues with unsupported browsers.
USER NAMES AND PASSWORDS
If you choose, or you are provided with, a user identification code, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures (whether as part of a free registration or a paid for arrangement), you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any third party. Where user identification codes and passwords are allocated to individual employees they should not be shared with other employees. We have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time, if in our opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these terms of use or any other applicable agreement.
LISTINGS
The site allows companies wishing to promote their IP/Technologies on the site (the “Vendor”) to list their IP/Technologies.
The Vendor is responsible for any listing or other material it places on the site. We do not verify such material and it is up to you to carry out appropriate due diligence in deciding whether to proceed with any negotiations with a Vendor in respect of such technology. We provide you with a means to contact the Vendor but do not play any part in contract negotiations between you and a Vendor. We are not entitled to commission on any contracts you enter into after initiating contact through our site.
If you are interested in registering for a vendor account please contact [email protected]
MESSAGING
The site includes a messaging system by which users can send messages to Vendors and receive responses. We do not monitor the content of any such messages and do not use the information contained within them for any purposes other than in order to provide the system. If you wish your message to be anonymised it is your responsibility to check your settings.
We limit the ability of certain registered users to send messages. Whilst we do not vet messages individually, we may limit the accounts of new users and other users who we consider may not be genuine potential purchasers. Buyer accounts are approved to use the messaging function upon their first communication to a vendor. We will also vet the content of all messages sent to Vendors using the “Request a Technology” feature.. If your message is blocked we will contact you and you can ask us to have the block removed.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your messages, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. To the extent that the information is held on our servers, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access but we cannot accept responsibility for any interception in the course of transmission to us.
CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY
Our intention is that IAM Market is a secure place to exchange messages, with users able to opt for anonymity. We take your confidentiality seriously.
We do not routinely monitor messages or the agreements you come to with Vendors. We may be required to access or disclose messages in limited situations but this will usually only be where we are required to do so by law or where we are subject to a court order requiring disclosure.
We may delete messages in accordance with our retention policy from time to time. Once deleted your messages would not be available to be accessed by third parties. However, this means that it is your responsibility to ensure that you take copies of any important messages as we cannot guarantee that you will always be able to retrieve them from our system.
It is your responsibility to check your settings if you wish to send messages anonymously. We provide you with functionality to do this but if you do not use it your details may be available to a Vendor.
We provide Vendors with statistical information about use of the site e.g. which of their technologies are of interest to potential buyers. When doing this we do not disclose details about individual users or their companies.
Our Privacy Policy includes further information on how we use personal data including the data you provide when you register for an individual account.
