Terms & Conditions

Terms governing access to the Nexera Food Trade website, use of its digital services and submission of B2B commercial enquiries.

Effective date: 19 September 2026

Operator & Scope

1. About These Terms

The website www.nexerafoodtrade.com and the Nexera Food Trade digital platform are operated by Nexera Trade Europe B.V., Netherlands.

These Terms apply to:

  • website visitors and prospective buyers;
  • suppliers, commercial representatives and business partners;
  • portal users;
  • users submitting RFQs or applications; and
  • other business users interacting with Nexera Food Trade online.

Nexera Food Trade is intended primarily for business-to-business use.

These Website Terms do not automatically replace or override signed sales contracts, purchase contracts, commercial offers, framework agreements, supplier agreements, representative agreements or specific transaction terms. Where a signed commercial agreement exists, that agreement governs the relevant transaction in the event of conflict.

Website & Platform Purpose

2. What Nexera Food Trade Provides

Nexera Food Trade provides a digital environment through which business users may:

  • review food products and supply opportunities;
  • submit product requirements and RFQs;
  • register as suppliers;
  • interact with commercial representatives;
  • exchange commercial information;
  • access role-based portal functions; and
  • manage relevant offers, documents and transaction information.

Nexera Food Trade focuses on international B2B trade in food ingredients, agricultural commodities and selected packaged or private-label products. The Website is not a consumer webshop.

Submitting information through the Website does not itself create a sales contract.

RFQs, Enquiries & Applications

3. No Automatic Commercial Commitment

Submission of an RFQ, product requirement, supplier application, representative application, private-label brief, custom specification or other enquiry does not oblige Nexera Trade Europe B.V. to:

  • provide a quotation, purchase goods or supply goods;
  • approve a supplier or commercial representative;
  • reserve volume, provide financing or enter into a transaction.

Nexera may request additional commercial, technical or compliance information before deciding whether to proceed.

Product Information

4. Information Is Indicative Until Confirmed

Public product information may describe product categories, typical specifications, potential origins, packaging, certifications, supply formats and commercial capabilities. Such information is general and may change.

Actual availability, specification, origin, quantity, price, packaging, certification, delivery period and payment terms must be confirmed in the applicable commercial offer or contract. Website content does not constitute a binding offer.

Commercial Offers

5. When Does an Offer Become Binding?

Unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing, quotations and commercial proposals are subject to stated validity periods, product availability, supplier confirmation where applicable, counterparty acceptance, payment structure, compliance requirements, logistics feasibility and final contractual agreement.

A binding transaction arises only through the commercial documentation expressly accepted by the authorised contracting parties. A documentary credit does not by itself create a contract unless the applicable commercial structure expressly provides otherwise.

Contracting Entity

6. Always Check the Transaction Documents

The public brand is Nexera Food Trade. The current default operating entity is Nexera Trade Europe B.V..

However, the contracting entity for a specific transaction must be identified in the relevant quotation, agreement or other commercial document. The Website itself must not be interpreted as automatically determining the contracting entity for every future transaction.

B2B Users & Authority

7. Business Capacity

Users submitting commercial information on behalf of a company represent that they are authorised to provide that information and to communicate for the relevant business purpose.

Where contractual authority is required, Nexera may request confirmation that the person entering into or accepting a transaction is authorised to bind the relevant company. No individual obtains authority to bind Nexera merely because they have access to the Website or portal.

Commercial Representatives

8. Role of Representatives

Independent commercial representatives may support customer development, supplier relationships, market development and local communication.

A commercial representative does not have authority to bind Nexera Trade Europe B.V. unless such authority has been expressly granted in writing. Prices, commitments, guarantees or contractual promises made outside authorised Nexera processes are not binding on Nexera unless confirmed by an authorised contracting representative.

Portal Accounts

9. Account Responsibility

Where portal access is provided, users must:

  • provide accurate information;
  • protect their login credentials;
  • avoid sharing access with unauthorised persons;
  • notify Nexera of suspected unauthorised access; and
  • use the portal only for legitimate business purposes.

Nexera may suspend or restrict access where reasonably necessary for security, suspected misuse, account integrity, contractual termination or legal requirements. Uninterrupted portal availability is not guaranteed.

AI-Assisted Functions

10. AI-Assisted Tools

The Website or portal may use AI-assisted features to help structure RFQs, extract information from documents, prepare applications, classify commercial information and support internal workflow.

AI-generated or AI-assisted outputs may contain errors or incomplete interpretations. Users remain responsible for reviewing information before submission.

AI output does not constitute a binding commercial offer, legal advice, financial advice, regulatory approval or product certification. Final commercial decisions remain subject to Nexera's commercial process and authorised personnel.

Payment & Trade Finance

11. No Financing Commitment

Information on documentary credits, collections, staged payments or other payment structures is provided as an indication of transaction structures that may be considered.

Nothing on the Website constitutes an offer of credit, a guarantee of financing, a banking service, an insurance commitment, or approval of a documentary credit or other instrument.

Actual payment arrangements are agreed in the applicable commercial documents and may require approval or participation by banks, insurers or other third parties.

Delivery, Incoterms & Logistics

12. Transaction-Specific Terms

Shipment and delivery terms are determined per transaction. Where Incoterms are used, the applicable Incoterm and named place must be expressly stated in the relevant commercial contract or offer.

General Website references to CIF, FOB, DDP or other terms do not apply to a transaction unless specifically agreed. Where used contractually, the agreement should specify the applicable edition of the Incoterms rules.

Compliance & Counterparty Review

13. Commercial Review

Nexera may conduct appropriate review before accepting or continuing a commercial transaction. Depending on the case, this may include company identity, authority, supplier capability, documentation, sanctions or restricted-party considerations, payment structure, destination requirements and logistics feasibility.

Nexera may decline or discontinue a potential transaction where there is a reasonable commercial, legal, compliance or risk-management basis for doing so before a binding contract has been entered into. Not every transaction follows the same review procedure.

User-Submitted Information

14. Accuracy of Information

Users are responsible for ensuring that information they submit is accurate to the best of their knowledge. This may include product specifications, company information, certifications, mandate information, capacity, commercial requirements and documents.

Users must not knowingly submit false information, fraudulent documentation, material they have no right to provide, unlawful content or malicious software.

Nexera may rely reasonably on information supplied during preliminary commercial evaluation, subject to its own review where appropriate.

Commercial Confidentiality

15. Business Information

Commercial information submitted through the Website or platform is treated as business information and handled according to the commercial purpose for which it was provided.

Such information may need to be shared with relevant buyers, suppliers, service providers, banks, logistics companies, inspection providers and professional advisers where reasonably necessary to evaluate or execute the transaction.

Specific confidentiality obligations may also be governed by an NDA, NCNDA, contract, supplier agreement or representative agreement. These Website Terms do not promise absolute confidentiality. Personal data is handled under the separate Privacy Policy.

Intellectual Property

16. Website Content

Unless otherwise indicated, Website content, software, branding, design, text, graphics and other materials are owned by or licensed to Nexera Trade Europe B.V. or the relevant rights holder.

The Nexera name, Nexera Food Trade identity and associated brand elements may not be copied or used in a manner that falsely suggests authorisation, partnership, representation or endorsement without appropriate permission.

Users may access and use Website content for legitimate internal business evaluation. Unauthorised commercial reproduction or redistribution may be restricted. Nexera does not claim ownership over third-party materials merely because they appear on the Website.

Third-Party Services & Links

17. External Providers

The Website or trade process may use or link to services provided by third parties, including logistics providers, banks, inspection services, technology providers and external websites.

Nexera is not responsible for the independent content, availability or policies of third-party websites merely because a link is provided. Specific third-party obligations within a commercial transaction are governed by the relevant contractual structure.

Website Availability

18. Platform Availability

Nexera aims to keep its digital services available and secure but does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

Access may be temporarily affected by maintenance, technical failures, security measures, external service providers, network failures or events outside Nexera's reasonable control. Nexera may modify or discontinue non-contractual Website functionality where reasonably necessary.

Liability

19. Limitation of Website Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Nexera Trade Europe B.V. is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising solely from reliance on general Website information or temporary Website unavailability.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where exclusion or limitation is not legally permitted.

Liability relating to a specific trade transaction should be governed by the applicable commercial agreement and any properly incorporated general conditions.

No Professional Advice

20. Website Information

Website information concerning trade finance, compliance, customs, regulatory requirements, logistics, taxation or legal structures is provided for general commercial information.

It does not constitute independent legal, tax, financial, customs or regulatory advice. Users should obtain appropriate professional advice where necessary.

Governing Law

21. Dutch Law

These Website Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, excluding conflict-of-law rules to the extent legally permitted.

For individual trade transactions, the governing law and dispute-resolution provisions are those stated in the applicable signed commercial agreement. A trade contract may therefore contain dispute-resolution provisions different from these Website Terms.

Jurisdiction

22. Disputes

Disputes arising solely from use of the Website or these Website Terms shall be submitted to the competent court in the Netherlands, unless mandatory applicable law requires otherwise.

For international trade contracts, jurisdiction or arbitration should be specified separately in the applicable agreement.

Actual Trade Contracts

23. Separate Commercial Conditions

These Website Terms are not intended to contain every term applicable to the purchase or sale of goods. Individual transactions may additionally be governed by:

  • a Commercial Offer, Sales Contract or Purchase Contract;
  • a Framework Agreement;
  • General Conditions of Sale or General Conditions of Purchase;
  • Incoterms where expressly incorporated; and
  • other agreed transaction documents.

Applicable general conditions should be provided to the relevant counterparty before or at the time the commercial agreement is concluded, in accordance with applicable law.

Each trade contract should state its own product, quantity, price, Incoterm, payment, delivery, inspection, claims, force majeure, governing law and dispute mechanism.

Severability

24. Severability

If a provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective to the extent legally permitted.

Any invalid provision should be interpreted or replaced only to the extent necessary to achieve a lawful result closest to its intended commercial purpose.

Changes to These Terms

25. Updates

Nexera may update these Website Terms where Website functionality changes, business processes change, laws or regulatory requirements change, or new digital services are introduced. The current version and effective date will be published on this page.

Changes do not retroactively alter signed commercial contracts. Continued Website use does not by itself accept material contractual amendments affecting an existing signed transaction.
