You do not lose the ownership of your contents.

Please remind that the future cancellation of contents such as text, videos, pictures can seriously damage the community data-bank, the video library, the rank of pages, or damage successful videos (for example on YouTube) paid by community investment or created by community editor work, regardless if free or paid services.

Please keep in mind the two cases: a) removal of your content for your own wish and without any legal explanation, not related to any proved dispute, requires you the payment of a support fee of euro 80 (eighty) / hour at your cost for our media work, for any single media objects (example 1 text, 1 video, 1 picture, are 3 objects) you want to remove from our own pages (pages under our direct management, excluding pages under other´s management), plus damages and eventually legal expenses in the case the removal damages previously made promoted videos or contents by community promotion activities, whenever the promotion activity of that content was provided by the community and was free of charge for you; in this case (a) we don´t promise to immediately remove the content and it may take time to act the cancellation and avoid damages for the community contents. b) removal of your content for your own interest because you have proved a legal dispute about the content with another party because of the breach of the copyright, then the community after receiving your official letter and demonstrations of the trouble, or a letter where you explain that the content is in trouble before you enter a legal dispute (you have put in your webpages without authorization of the real owner/copyrighter or in breach of third parties´ policies), our community will be fair to you and operate removal as soon as possible without asking you further explanation; in this case (b) you cover our work hours like in the above mentioned point (a) and you pay a contract fine for the breach of copyright of euro 1000 (one-thousand) for any content you ask to remove to solve your legal trouble. It is important for our community and for you that you own the rights of your contents and you don´t abuse of third parties copyrights. Whenever a copyright owner legally complain against you or active a dispute because of your breach of the national or international copy rights law, you obviously assume all responsibilities and cover also all further legal costs and damages we encounter or experience because of your breach.

B2BALTIC may decide to move a member from one part of the community to another, (for example a member of B2BALTIC might be “virtually or digitally” positioned to be a member of the subcommunity LUXURY NORDIC HUB LNH). The community B2BALTIC owns several subcommunities, whose names are mentioned in the point 13.0. The community is also advocate of the Global Movement Smart&Digitalcities. The community management may transfer your membership anytime from one name to another, from one community to another, or from one team to another team, or position you in both. As a member you are also part and member of the Global Movement Smart&Digitalcities. Membership in any community and movement is basicly free, unless you have arranged with the community a paid contribution as you prefer. Fees may also change time by time. This internal “digital flexibility” provides you and all members with a better performance by focus on member´s abilities, which might be more suitable to another of our subcommunities. To remind also that B2BALTIC management may decide anytime to integrate you as member of a community as well as of a partnership: for example, you, as member of B2BALTIC, might be anytime approved or later disapproved by the community for cooperating with Janetschek & Partners, with or without any need of notification. We consider that all members of the community are also considered anytime, for short time or for long terms, business partners of the community, and partner of the community as well as partner of the directors of the community. For this reason, we offer this possibility: the community may allow you to update your public curriculum, especially your profile on LinkedIn.com and on Google+ with the following position to mention: “Business Partner of B2BALTIC”, or “Business Partner of Janetschek & Partners”, or “Business Associate of Janetschek & Partners”, or simply “Partner” or similar, according to the indication of the community. As a member you need however to ask permission and confirmation to the community B2BALTIC about the name of the position you want to add to your profile. However, you are not a community owner and you don´t become a owner of the community while you are a business associate. The community may require you anytime to remove those added details quickly from your profile and curriculum. Some partners may be included in the term article 13.2. We gently require our members to take this into account as a social “constructive” duty to make the community more powerful together, to spread the word of the community and consequently empower all our members by increasing the opportunies. Please do remind, that refusal of updating your profile in your webpage or linkedin curriculum, might be sanctioned (however with minimal fine since the service is still experimental). Instead refusal of removing a position previously added may be sanctioned with highest contract fine, above all if the added line is written not-correct, or confusing, misleading public digital search-engines such as Google or others, or damaging the community reputation, or drive business traffic to an account without community authorization, or after termination of the authorization for doing that.

Your legal physical address, where your business or work-practice is located in the world, is part of the community B2BALTIC together with your membership, and you could receive – although very rarely or even nie – paper-letters and other official paper documents related to community operations, transactions and other deals or cases. You allow hereby the community and the management of B2BALTIC to eventually provide your physical business address to other member of the community or external for any community purpose related to your account or to your competence. Your address is provided by you for free. The letter´s recipient might contain one of the name mentioned at the term point 13.0, for example “B2BALTIC”, or other if approved by the community.

14.0 Fees, yearly contribution for premium members, minimal hourly fees, minimal success-fees, debt collection, invoicing, punctuality, termination of the premium membership by notification, sanctions and exceptions. Price lists, success-fees and hourly-support-fees (% values) are usually published in our sites in comparison table for professional services. Otherwise you can ask anytime to receive such information by e-mail. In case you work as authorized certified supplier of the community all the fees may be applied also to you for your own profit: you can ask to be promoted to distributor, broker, or reseller in the community (this membership agreement does not grant the right to be considered an official supplier of the community, even if you provide top quality services). Past obligations related to past or expired agreements between you and the community or between you and other suppliers or members of the community, regardless if invoiced or not yet, or previously invoiced, do not expire and they are still valid waiting to be honored by yours. The due amount, the legal expenses plus an interests rate of 24% (twenty-four percentage) per calendar year is applied at your cost until the correct payment of the amount from you towards to the community, and from you towards other members of this community (then it is valid also for your own benefit, whenever a member of this community does not pay you correctly and does not honor the agreement with you). You pay always in advance any fee related to provided services or memberships or support packages offered by the community to you. Invoices are issued after the successful transfer of the amount. If you have chosen a paid-membership with a yearly-contribution fee based on an arranged membership plan, or you have chosen the financial contribution you want to give to the community B2BALTIC, then the same amount is due each calendar year at the beginning of January of the new year, or at the end of December of the previous year, or in any other time during the new calendar year. Your paid membership (your first financial contribution paid to the community) is to anyway pay from you to the community on regular basis until you decide to terminate your premium/paid membership. Please do remind that you need to inform “on time” the community, not later of the calendar month of December, if you want to terminate the paid membership for the new year: the community invest more time and resource to promote activities of you paid-members. Obviously also any difference of contribution fee from your side may change performances and community-facilities. In general, all paid-members, or premium-members, or contributors, who decide to disconnect the paid-membership, will see their business account transformed into a stand-by free basic account, which might have no one of the facility previously offered during the paid membership. Please check with the community every year in that case the type of facilities provided to free basic members. However, unless notified termination, all memberships need to be paid every new calendar year, at least once a year. Payment of any contribution may be automated on your PayPal account or Credit Card. Every year is a calendar year from January to December regardless when you start the membership during the first year. If you are a member contributor who has paid once the yearly membership fee, or any contribution for premium membership, or sponsorship (excluded the one-time fees for single events), you can terminate the premium membership by sending message to us and requiring disconnection of your paid membership: we accept request of termination only when your notification comes within December of the previous year (for example: you have made payment for membership in March, then you will contribute with your new membership-year, or sponsorship, either in December of the same year, or within January of the next year, to renew your paid-premium-membership for the new year). The termination of a premium membership does not terminate your membership in B2BALTIC, but only close your premium account giving you a basic free one: you will continue your membership in the community as free stand-by member. In all case of issue in payment from your side (for membership, other required services, or ordered goods, etc related to any transaction/agreement inside the community) with or without explanation, your membership and account may be suspended. A delay in payment longer than 4 calendar weeks from the first remind by e-mail, allows the community to active a legal procedure, add further legal expenses, add a fix interest rate up to 2% (two%) for each calendar week of delay from the due-date. Same sanctions are, as written above, applicable also in trading inside the community when you breach the payment agreement with any other of our members in the community. These policies are reciprocal and convenient also for your business with the other members: you might be the supplier who requires punctuality in payments. Furthermore, you accept that some exceptions are allowed with the target to protect the community stability: you don´t add legal costs and interest rate if one of the community authorized certified provider (the legal entity who has provided you with a specific service or collected your community contribution) in case of delay in payment for any administrative or financial reason: because the community suppliers are important for the stability of the network and legal actions or restrictions might damage the stability of the community and damage other members. However, you can count in this, that the community monitor the behavior of the providers and change them in case of repeated problems with them. We target high quality in providing community facilities internationally. If any member and supplier of the community, or external met during your interaction in the community, do not fulfill your agreements, you can report the case to us and we will operate an investigation, and eventually apply community sanctions against the entity if it is our member. Please do remind that this rule is reciprocal, another member may report against you to us if you don´t act commercially correct. Please keep always in mind that if your type of business is based on providing services and you necessarily need punctuality in the payments, then you should meet always an extra agreement/contract, online or on paper, with that other member or entity, where you clearly fix payment conditions and related sanctions. Otherwise if you do not have an extra legally valid agreement with the other entity during your transaction, then our community policies, terms and all conditions may be applied. This might help efficiently your business with other members. In case you attempt to harm, legally attack, damage indirectly or indirectly the reputation of the community or an “authorized certified supplier” by amplifying your reasons, threatening or exaggerating your statements with the aim to push the supplier to operate faster, regardless from the validity of your reasons, a contract fine of euro 200 (two-hundred) is applied at your cost for each single event, plus damages and legal expenses to defend the position of the member and supplier in case. If you breach part of this global agreement and policies, and you act in the way to cause damage of the public reputation of our community or of an authorized certified provider that act also under the name of B2BALTIC, then our community is authorized to mention you in our journals, sites or social media accounts, including media content in attachment and we are fully authorized to make public the issue and visible on all networks, in order to confirm and protect the name of the community. Whenever one of our suppliers or member has been authorized by the community to collect unpaid invoices (or also amount not-invoiced) on your behalf, you will pay the supplier a success fee of 7% (seven percentage) once the unpaid amount has been covered. Between any members of the community, as well as between you and us, when there is no clear agreement about the payment of the work hours for any type of performance, hereby we want to fix at least the “minimal” hourly fee per person work to protect the professional workers in the community: for sales and marketing assistance at least euro 40 (forty), for technical assistance at least euro 50 € (fifty), for accounting at least euro 35 (thirty-five), for legal assistance with an attorney-at-law at least euro 100 (one hundred), if not differently arranged specifically for one single hour (60 minutes) of professional work. The minimal success-fee you pay to the community for each successful transaction for you, between you and another registered member of the community, is not less than 0,2% (null comma two%) of the total net transaction, regardless whether our community team has actively supported you in that transaction or not. In the case that we have helped your transaction effectively, helped negotiations, personally recommended each other and made you and the other connected, or motivated the payer to deal with you, the minimal success-fee you pay to the community shall be at least 4% (four percentage). All the mentioned “minimal” fees are to consider as a base for success fees: the community is allowed to deal with you to find a reasonable win-win model with higher fees. The community is allowed to propose you anytime paid-membership or other contributive new agreement to operate different fee-discount. You and the community can meet a new agreement convenient for both parties, however always keeping the current standard community policies fixed, apart for the entity of the success-fees. It´s usual for example that the member who get a deal through the community shares a success fees of 10 or 20%, depending on type of transaction, industry and costs. You shall pay the success-fees to the community B2BALTIC immediately after the transaction. Delay in the payment of any success-fees, or attempt of hide successful transactions from the member, is strictly sanctioned according to this general agreement, terms and conditions, same like for unpaid invoices. Hidden transaction with the purpose of escaping the social duty of paying the success fee to the community may be charged as commercial fraud also in criminal court of law. Extra agreements shall not change nor reduce the minimal fees mentioned in this policy E14.0 . You and the community can negotiate anytime the future success-fees (for next deals) for any successful passed contact, however keeping safe always all the community policies indicated in this agreement.  In the rare case we have sanctioned a member for the behavior/breach of the agreement, we keep the sanctions, interest on debts and contract fines paid, only to improve the community, the technology, and the quality of our social business networks. The community aims to a social development in B2B and improvement of the general behavior of the B2B operators and members, creating several opportunities, with a long-term approach in the consideration that our community firstly invest time and resource on you. Whenever you want to terminate the membership with B2BALTIC for any personal reason, your termination letter requires you to explain the reason of the termination and pay in advance a fixed contract-termination fee of euro 1000 (one thousand), to cover the administrative expenses to elaborate your request and act all tasks, and partially to cover the time spent by the community to integrate you in B2BALTIC, only in the case you are a free member and you have never paid a contribution or fee to the community. In case you arranged a paid-membership with any contribution from your side, the fixed termination-fee is reduced for you: euro 200. We recommend you to avoid early senselessly termination of the membership. N.B. If your agreement is terminated or naturally expired, or you want to terminate it, we and any member or suppliers who have provided you with a service or facility, or recommended you to others, are still entitled to receive from you the arranged success-fees, and at least their minimal if not differently arranged, for not less than 36 (thirty-six) calendar months after the termination and for each past or future successful transaction. Agreements with the suppliers and other members of the community are considered valid also when they are based on exchange of e-mails or messages. Any agreement in a written form, coming from verified sources, is considered valid and operative in the community, with or without signature or digital signature. This rule in the community is made exclusively to help all members receive the arranged success-fees from the other members, for enough time, to avoid any unfair behavior in the community and tricky strategic terminations. Success-fees are calculated on the base of any referral activity, directly or indirectly, in the community that has produces revenue for you through a transaction. The success-fee % is always calculated on the total net transacted amount, regardless of tax and effective revenues. Please keep it in mind during your transactions and correctly inform the members or us of the gained success-fees. This rule is also useful for your business purpose because valid reciprocally. You shall pay all due amounts – not excluding any service or product you have ordered in the future, penalties/fines or interest rate for delayed payment, legal expenses – punctual and respecting our recommendations because, an unpaid amount, or paid later, regardless from the nature of the amount, is considered an amount subject of the above mentioned interest rate in case of delay. For any breach of our policies/agreement that are considered not particularly relevant or temporary, and related to breaches of the contract whose sanctions has not been indicated in this policy, the community may apply a contract fine at your cost however not over euro 100 (hundred), for each single case of breach of the contract. Only B2BALTIC has the right to evaluate the breach-relevance and impact in the community, and calculate the fine amount in this case however not crossing the above mentioned contract fine limits. In case of insolvency, B2BALTIC is authorized to list you in public insolvency list and remove you from the list even time later after the end of the insolvency.
