3. OUR VENDOR PORTAL, PRODUCT LISTINGS, & VENDOR SERVICES.

​

3.1 How our Vendor Offerings Work:

​

Every vendor (Basic and Upgraded) has a Vendor Account and Product Listing(s), which they are entitled to access and selectively update or upgrade via the Vendor Portal. Vendor Accounts and Product Information (including Product Profile and Product Listing) posted on our Sites are non-cancellable. From time to time we may create, edit and add to our Vendor Product Listings from publicly available information in order to ensure a comprehensive picture of every segment of the legal, software, and service industry.

3.2 Upgraded Vendor Services:

​

For information on upgraded (paid) Vendor services, See Seller Program below,

or Contact support@theoremlegal.com

3.3 Vendor Portal:

​

The Vendor Portal is a self-service tool that we make available to vendors, who may log in to update and manage select portions of their Vendor Accounts and Product Listings, Upgrade, or become a Marketplace Seller.

3.4 Vendor Accounts:

Unlike User Accounts, which are created by individual users and can be removed at the User’s convenience, vendors (both basic and upgraded) do not have individual accounts but rather we create for them Vendor Accounts (which are more akin to company records) from publicly available company information for purposes of administration of the services, content management and back office administration of our Sites. Because we create Vendor Accounts for purposes of managing our online services, these Accounts are non-cancellable.

​

Vendor Accounts may be Upgraded via a Paid Plan by paying the applicable services fees to access upgraded account features. After Upgrade, Vendors may downgrade at the expiration of the applicable term. We do not offer refunds.

3.5 Vendor Product Listings & Profiles:

Vendor Product Listings (also known as Profiles) are descriptions of vendor’s products (including vendor name & logo, product name & description, screenshots) created by us from publicly available content, vendor contributed modifications and content, and any other content we create or license, which are featured in our online software directories and Sites. Vendor shall ensure that the Vendor Content it contributes or approves for its Product Listing, Profile and other Product Information complies with these General Vendor Terms and with the Guidelines for Product Listings. Listed company names are the service marks and trademarks of their respective companies.

​

4. OUR USER REVIEWS PROGRAM—VENDOR PARTICIPATION:

4.1 Our User Reviews Program:

In addition to the Vendor Product Listings and Profiles, our Sites also host a User Reviews program where they allow verified users to review software vendor products. You acknowledge and agree that we, as the website operator, are merely providing a platform for these user-generated reviews; and that all such reviews represent the opinions of the reviewers of those software products and not our opinions. If a vendor is concerned about a user-generated review on our Sites, they may respond to a user review or flag a review for investigation as further described in our Guidelines. **available upon reviews release**

4.2 Vendor Participation:

All vendors who access our Sites must comply with the User Terms, These General Vendor Terms, and the Directory Terms + Community Guidelines with regard to their participation in our Reviews program. The Community Guidelines, in addition to enumerating expectations for the users who are generating the reviews, also set forth expectations for the vendors who are reviewed. Among other things, the Community Guidelines promise vendors: (i) an evaluation of submitted reviews; (ii) a fair investigation of flagged reviews independent of vendor status (client or non-client); and (iii) an opportunity to respectfully respond to any review of their product. For further guidance on the Ecosystem Terms and vendor expectations, click here.
