This Software as a Service Agreement (the "Agreement") is made effective as of October 9, 2024 by and between ("you" or "your") and Liquify Solutions Inc. (together with its affiliates, "Liquify", "we", "us", or "our") and sets forth, among other things, the terms and conditions for your use of the website located at liquify.ca (the "Website") and the products and services available to you through the Website (collectively, the "Service"). If you are using the Service for the purposes of selling your products, any reference in this Agreement to "agent" means you. If you are using the Service for the purposes of purchasing products made available by others, any reference in this Agreement to "buyer" means you.

  1. Use of Service

If you do not agree to any provisions contained in this Agreement, you are not authorized to use the Service. You may be denied access to the Service, with or without notice to you if you do not comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement.
    2. Account. To access and use the Service, you must create an Account with one or more valid liquor license(s) (each, a "License") issued by the B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch ("LCLB"), company name, mailing address, and email address. You may only create one Account per License. If you hold multiple Licenses, you can manage all of these Licenses in the same Account. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, regardless of whether the activities are undertaken by you, your employees or a third party, and, except to the extent caused by our breach of this Agreement, we are not responsible for unauthorized access to your Account. You will contact us immediately if you believe an unauthorized third party may be using your Account or if your Account information is lost or stolen. You may terminate your Account and this Agreement in accordance with the Section titled "Term and Termination".
    3. License. If your License is at any time revoked, suspended or otherwise cancelled by the LCLB, you will notify us immediately of such revocation, suspension or cancellation and access to your Account and your ability to use the Service may be suspended or termination, at the sole discretion of Liquify, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
  2. Liquify is a Venue
    1. Venue. Liquify acts as a venue, or tool, to allow you and other users who hold Licenses and who comply with Liquify’s policies to offer, sell and buy beer, wine, cider, spirits, refreshment beverages and other alcoholic products (each, a "Product"). Although Liquify reserves the right to and may review Offers as posted by agents before they are available for review and selection by a buyer, Liquify does not accept any responsibility or liability for the performance of an Offer or the truth or accuracy of the claims made within that specific Offer including, but not limited to, the ability of the agent who has posted an Offer to sell the Product on the terms set out in the Offer, the ability of a buyer who has agreed to buy a Product on the terms set out in the Offer to complete the purchase.
    2. No Ownership. Liquify does not at any time take legal ownership or control over any Product, and Liquify is not responsible for effecting the legal transfer of ownership of a Product, whether from an agent to the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch ("LDB"), from the LDB to a buyer, or from an agent directly to a buyer. Consequently, Liquify does not provide any assurance to you that an agent who has posted an Offer to sell a Product will be able to complete the sale and deliver the Product on the terms set out in the Offer, nor does Liquify provide any assurance to you that a buyer who has agreed to buy a Product on the terms set out in an Offer will be able to complete the purchase of that Product on the terms set out in the Offer. Liquify provides no assurance or guarantee that a particular buyer or agent will complete a transaction.
  3. Changes
    1. Amendments to Agreement. We reserve the right, from time to time, to modify, amend, or restate this Agreement, our Privacy Policy or any other terms, rules or conditions that we may implement from time to time. You acknowledge and agree that you will execute, as necessary, any amendments to or restatements of this Agreement and that your continued use of the Service is subject to you agreeing to the terms of any such amendments to or restatements of this Agreement. If you do not agree to, or cannot comply with, the Agreement as amended, you are not authorized to use the Service. We reserve the right to refuse to provide the Service, or any of our other services or products, to anyone at any time.
    2. Modifications to the Service. We may change, discontinue, or alter the Service, add new services or tools that form part of the Service or add, change or remove features or functionality of the Service from time to time. If we make any material change to or discontinue any part of the Service we will post a notice of such material change or discontinuation on the Account and/or the Website.
  4. Offers and Products
    1. Agents. If you are an agent for a Product, you may use your Account to create and post an offer for a Product that you wish to sell to buyers who have an Account with Liquify (each, an "Offer"). Each Offer, prior to going live on the Service and being available for selection by a buyer, will be subject to review by Liquify in its sole discretion.
    2. Buyers. If you are a buyer, you may use your account to view Offers posted by agents, and place orders for Products that you wish to purchase.
    3. Agent Offer Terms. If you are an agent, it is your sole responsibility to ensure that you can fulfill the terms and conditions of each Offer you make available through the Service. Within each Offer, you must include, at a minimum, the following terms and conditions: price, delivery window, LDB registration for the Product (the "Registration"), vintage (if applicable), labeling (if applicable), year (if applicable), quantity available, any minimum number of units that must be ordered or purchased (either by an individual buyer or in the aggregate) before the Product will be available, and any other term or condition to which the Offer for the Product is subject (collectively, the "Offer Terms"). It is your responsibility, as an agent, to ensure that if all of the stated Offer Terms of an Offer are met, that you can fulfill the buyer’s order for the Product. It is your responsibility, as an agent, to ensure that the Offer Terms are complete and accurate in all material respects. Liquify reserves the right to cancel any Offer where we believe that the Offer Terms are misleading, incomplete or inaccurate or otherwise violate the terms of this Agreement or any other policy of Liquify applicable to the use of the Service.
    4. Buyer Agreement to Offer Terms. If you are a buyer, it is your sole responsibility to ensure that you are satisfied with the Offer Terms of any Product you wish to purchase through the Service. You acknowledge that the Offer Terms for any Product are created by the agent for that Product, not Liquify. You further acknowledge that some Products may have Offer Terms that require a minimum order, either by you as an individual buyer or in the aggregate, and therefore unless that minimum order amount is met the Offer Terms may not be fulfilled and the Product may not be available.
    5. Legally Binding Agreement. If you are a buyer, you acknowledge that upon placing an order for a Product you are accepting the Offer Terms for that Product and, upon the agent fulfilling the Offer Terms, your order constitutes a legally binding agreement between you and the agent and you, as a buyer, will be obligated to take delivery of and make payment for the Product in accordance with the Offer Terms. If you are an agent, you acknowledge that a buyer placing an order for a Product constitutes a legally binding agreement between you and the buyer and you, as an agent, are obligated to make commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill the Offer Terms and that, upon such fulfillment, you are obligated to deliver the Product to the buyer in accordance with the Offer Terms.
    6. Non-fulfillment of Offer Terms. If, after an order is placed for a Product by a buyer, the agent, after making commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill the Offer Terms, is unable to fulfill an Offer Terms for any reason outside of the control of the agent (including for example, but not limited to, the minimum order threshold not being met or the unanticipated lack of available Product from the agent’s supplier), the agent will notify Liquify immediately that the Offer Terms have not been fulfilled, and the order will be cancelled so that Liquify may, in turn, notify the buyer.
    7. Changes to Offer Terms. The change to Offer Terms for a Product creates a new Offer. Prior to the placing of an order by a buyer, if you are an agent you may make changes to the Offer Terms of an Offer at anytime. At any time after a buyer has placed an order for a Product under an Offer, the agent may not change the Offer Terms for that Offer without the written agreement from the buyer. A buyer is under no obligation to accept the changed Offer Terms, and if a buyer chooses to not accept such changed Offer Terms the order as originally placed by the buyer will be cancelled without recourse by either agent or buyer.
    8. Cancelled Offers. If you are an agent, you may cancel an Offer at any time prior to a buyer placing an order for the Product made available under the Offer.
    9. Prohibited Changes. An agent is not permitted to change an Offer Term in respect of an Offer where the purpose of the change is to provide one buyer with preferential terms as compared to other buyers (unless the possibility of preferential terms was an original Offer Term), or where the change fundamentally changes the nature of the Product. Further, it will be considered a breach of this Agreement if you, as an agent, change an Offer Term in respect of an Offer or cancel an Offer where the purpose or result of such change or cancellation is the avoidance of payment of any Transaction Fees to Liquify.
  5. Order Fulfillment
    1. LDB Products. If the Product sold under a particular Offer is a Product that is distributed through the LDB (for example, an imported wine), then the agent will receive payment for the Product by the LDB. Upon fulfillment of the Offer Terms, if you are an agent you will receive from Liquify a batch of completed, signed Wholesale Agent Order Forms ("WAOF"), which you, as the agent, will be required to submit to the LDB. If you are a buyer, your information, as provided to Liquify, will be populated into a WAOF and delivered to the agent for submission to the LDB and you will submit payment for the Product to the LDB for processing. The buyer acknowledges that its payment information is on file with the LDB, and upon submission of the WAOF the transaction and the buyer’s payment for the Product will be processed and charged through the LDB’s processing system.
    2. Domestic Products. If the Product sold under a particular Offer is a Product that is delivered directly (for example, a domestic beer, wine or spirit), then the agent will receive payment for the Product directly from each buyer and the completed invoice ("Doc 60") through the Service. If you are a buyer, your information, as provided to Liquify, will be populated into a Doc 60 and delivered to the agent and, subsequent to the delivery of the Doc 60, the purchase price for the Product will be charged to your credit card in accordance with the credit card authorization provided.
    3. Taxes and Fees. If you are an agent, it is your sole responsibility to determine the fees, taxes (including, but not limited to, any applicable liquor tax, LDB "mark-up", federal duties, excise tax, provincial sales tax or goods and services tax) and other charges (collectively, "Sales Taxes") that you are obligated to collect and remit in respect of the sale of any Product, to set out these Sales Taxes in the Offer Terms, and to subsequently remit such Sales Taxes to the appropriate agency or authority.
    4. Compliance. You agree to comply with all local laws applicable to your use of the Service, including but not limited to laws with respect to the purchase and sale of alcoholic products, collection and use of personal information and online conduct and acceptable content. In addition, you agree to comply with all of Liquify’s policies, operating rules and procedures in effect now or that may be in effect in the future, and acknowledge that such policies, operating rules and procedures are each incorporated by reference into this Agreement and may be updated by Liquify from time to time without notice to you.
    5. Third Party Provider. You acknowledge that Liquify is not a payment gateway, merchant account provider and does not directly store your credit card number or manage the processing of any payment under this Agreement. Liquify complies with, and has engaged the services of third parties who have represented to Liquify that they are compliant with, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DDS) and the Payment Application Data Security Standards (PA-DSS) as applicable, to provide such services. You are responsible for establishing a merchant account with a payment processing provider in order to receive payment for the purchase of Products under this Agreement.
  6. Fees and Billing
    1. Buyers. If you are a buyer, you acknowledge that you will pay to Liquify either monthly or annual fee (in each case, the "Buyer Fee"), as selected, for use of the Service, as set out on the fee schedule attached hereto (the "Fee Schedule"), which may be amended from time to time in accordance with this agreement. Liquify may, in its sole discretion, waive the Buyer Fee for any period. There is no charge or cost payable to Liquify for placing an order for a Product made available under an Offer.
    2. Buyer Fees. The Buyer Fee is a per Account fee (for example, if you have chosen to set up two Accounts for two different buyer Licenses, you will pay a Buyer Fee in respect of each License), due and payable at the time of the creation of your Account and thereafter on the same day in each subsequent month or for months that do not have the same day, the day preceding (for example, if you set up an Account on March 15, the next Buyer Fee will be due April 15 or, if you set up an Account on March 31, the next Buyer Fee will be due April 30), if you have chosen a monthly subscription, or on each annual anniversary of the creation of your Account, if you have chosen an annual subscription.
    3. Agent. If you are an agent, you acknowledge that you will pay to Liquify the fees and commissions, together with applicable Taxes (as defined below) (collectively, the "Agent Fees"), as set forth on the Fee Schedule, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
    4. Agent Fees. The Annual Fee (as defined on the Fee Schedule) is a per Account fee (for example, if you have chosen to set up two Accounts for two different agent Licenses, you will pay an Annual Fee in respect of each Account), due and payable at the time of the creation of your Account and thereafter on the anniversary of the date on which you created your Account. Transaction Fees (as defined on the Fee Schedule) are calculated by Liquify at the time that the Offer Terms for an Offer are fulfilled and the accompanying WAOFs or Doc 60’s are delivered to you, and are due and payable at the time the Offer Terms are fulfilled. Any fees or commissions.
    5. Payment You will pay to us the Annual Fee and the Transaction Fees by credit card or, at our sole discretion, by another payment method that we support. You authorize Liquify to charge to the credit card number you provide through your Account all Annual Fees and Transaction Fees as they come due and payable. All amounts payable under this Agreement will be made without set-off or counterclaim and without any deduction or withholding.
    6. Changes. Liquify reserves the right to amend or modify the Fee Schedule from time to time upon notice to you. Fees for any new product or service offered by Liquify will be effective when Liquify notifies you of such fees either by providing you with an amended Fee Schedule in hard copy or through a notice posted to your Account. We may increase the Fees or add new fees, charges or commissions for any existing Service by giving you at least 30 days’ advance notice. We may charge you interest at the rate of 30% per annum, calculated monthly, on all late payments.
    7. Taxes. All Fees and other fees and charges payable by you are exclusive of applicable federal, provincial or other applicable governmental sales, goods and services, harmonized or other taxes, duties, fees or charges now in force or enacted in the future (collectively, "Taxes"). You will provide us with any information we reasonable request to determine whether we are obligated to collect certain Taxes, including, but not limited to federal goods and services tax ("GST"), liquor tax ("LT") or provincial sales tax ("PST), including your GST, LT and/or PST number. If you are legally exempt from the requirement to pay any such Taxes, you must provide us with legally sufficient tax exemption certificates for each taxing jurisdiction that has granted you such exempt status. We will apply the tax exemption certificates to charges and fees under your Account occurring after the date we receive the tax exemption certificates. If any deduction or withholding is required by applicable law, you will notify us and will pay us any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount we receive, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount we would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required. Additionally, you will provide us with documentation showing that the withheld or deducted amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority.
    8. No Refunds. Subject only to applicable laws which may require otherwise, you acknowledge and agree that Liquify does not, and will not under any circumstances be obligated to, provide refunds of any fees or charges (including but not limited to Annual Fees or Transaction Fees) paid by you under this Agreement for use of the Service.
    9. Fee Avoidance. The price stated in an Offer must be an accurate representation of the sale. The agent must not alter the item’s price after a sale, cancel an Offer, use another person’s Account, or engage in any other conduct for the purpose of avoiding any Transaction Fees.
