Effective date: October 21, 2024
Welcome to Meti! We provide automated procurement solutions.
These offerings are provided by Materlog, LLC (“Meti”, “we”, “us”, or “our” which include our group and affiliated companies) through an application you access via a Chrome extension (the “Application”) and at getmeti.com (the “Site” and, together with any related software, tools and services provided in connection with the Application or Site, the “Meti Service”).
The following terms and conditions, along with Meti’s Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Terms of Service”), govern your access to and use of Meti Service and all Site Content and constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Meti.
Please read these Terms of Service carefully as they provide important information to you. A few important highlights of these Terms of Service include:
Limited Liabilities. You understand that we offer no warranties, and our liabilities are limited (See Section 7).
Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES BY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY KIND OF CLASS ACTION (See Section 8).
Communication About New Features and Products. If you provide us with your email address or phone number (or activate your Account using a referred email address), you agree to receive, as applicable, emails, chats, calls and text messages from us with information relating to your Account (if it exists), new and existing features, product updates and improvements, company and industry news and events, community updates and communications. (See Section 9).
Modification. You understand that we may change these Terms of Service or any portion of the Meti Service at any time. Your continued use of the Meti Service constitutes your acceptance of any modified Terms of Service (See Section 10).
By accessing or using the Meti Service in any way, including browsing the Site, registering for a Meti Account, or downloading the Application, you are indicating that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service, then you have no right to access or use the Meti Service or Site Content. If you accept or agree to these Terms of Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to these Terms of Service and, in such event, “you” and “your” will refer and apply to that company or other legal entity.
1. Using the Meti Service.
Who Can Use the Meti Service?
By accessing or using the Meti Service, you represent and warrant to Meti that: (i) you are of legal age to form a binding contract -- YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE OR ACCEPT THE TERMS IF YOU ARE NOT AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD; (ii) all registration information you submit is accurate, current and complete; (iii) you will maintain the accuracy and completeness of such information; and (iv) if you are accepting these Terms of Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity as a Corporate Administrator (as defined below), you have the authority to bind that company or legal entity to these Terms of Service. These Terms of Service are void where prohibited by law, and the right to access the Meti Service is revoked in such jurisdictions. IF YOU DO NOT MEET ALL OF THESE REQUIREMENTS OR YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS, YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE METI SERVICE.
Individual Account Registration
In order to access certain parts of the Meti Service, you must register to create an account (“Account”) and become a Member (“Member”). When registering with Meti as an individual you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Meti Service’s registration form (such information being the “Registration Data”) and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or we have grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we may suspend or terminate your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Meti Service (or any portion thereof).
If you connect with a Corporate Policy (as defined below), you hereby understand and agree that the Corporate Member has access and a right to the Member Data related to orders associated with the Corporate Policy (including any Personal Data, as defined in the Privacy Policy) for its internal order tracking purposes. A Corporate Member will maintain the following information when you connect with a Corporate Policy: full name, email, phone number, role, order data, and usage history. Please contact the Corporate Member directly for more information about what Personal Data the Corporate Member maintains. Further, in certain circumstances where the Corporate Member has domain control, the Corporate Member may have authorization and access to administer certain advanced security settings, including the ability to delete your account, control certain settings, and control how you use the Meti Service.
You may not authorize any third party to access or use the Meti Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your user ID and password and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your user ID or password. You agree to immediately notify Meti of any unauthorized use of your user ID or password, or any other breach of security. Meti cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from any unauthorized use of your Account.
Corporate Policies
In order to create an Account on behalf of a company or other legal entity, rather than an individual (a “Corporate Member”), you must register to create an Account as an administrator for the Corporate Member (a “Corporate Administrator”). When registering on behalf of a Corporate Member, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete Registration Data about yourself and the Corporate Member, and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or we have grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we may suspend or terminate the Corporate Member’s Account and associated Member Accounts and refuse any and all current or future use of the Meti Service (or any portion thereof) by Corporate Member and related Members.
The Corporate Member acknowledges that individual Members retain ultimate administrative control over their individual Accounts and the Member Data and Member-Generated Content within them, except to the extent a Corporate Member has domain control over accounts.
You may not allow any third party (other than authorized agents of the Corporate Member) to access or use the Meti Service on a Corporate Member’s behalf. The Corporate Member is responsible for (i) all Member Data and Member-Generated Content posted and activity that occurs under its Account; (ii) maintaining the security of its Account login credentials; and (iii) promptly notifying us upon becoming aware of any unauthorized use of, or access to, the Meti Service through its Account.
Linked Accounts and Third-Party Services
In order to access certain features of the Meti Service, a Member or a Corporate Member may need to connect its Account with an account that is held with third party(ies) and is linked to or authorized for use through the Member’s or Corporate Member’s Account (each, a “Linked Account”). You acknowledge and agree that you have the authority to access and connect a Linked Account to the Meti Service.
Further, to participate in such features, as a Member or a Corporate Administrator, you may be required to provide certain information (including Personal Data as described in our Privacy Policy), which may include, but is not limited to: the Member’s full name, email, phone number, and business information (such as registered business name, the business address, employer identification number, and the nature of the business).
Order dates and Supplier check in dates
The Meti Service allows Members to track in stock, ship, and delivery dates and calculates a next check in date, by allowing Members to share data and documentation about orders, including shipping and delivery information. You agree that this service is provided as-is and on an as-available basis. You agree (1) that these dates are not legally binding, and represent informal information sharing and (2) that Meti cannot guarantee the accuracy of information entered by Members, suppliers, its services, or any other party. You expressly relieve Meti from any and all liability arising from any transactions occurring or not occurring due to or any decisions made or not made based upon the in stock, ship, delivery and next check in dates features exhibited or not exhibited in the Meti Service.
Fees and Payment
By establishing an Meti Account, you agree to the term, pricing, payment, and billing policies set forth (a) herein and/or (b) on the Site (including our pricing page). The use of various offerings within the Meti Service may be subject to additional terms as set forth on the Site (such additional terms being incorporated herein by reference). All fees paid for the Meti Service are non-refundable and non-transferable except as expressly provided in these Terms of Service. All fees and applicable taxes, if any, are payable in United States dollars. You are solely responsible for the payment of, and shall pay when due, all applicable sales and use taxes and similar fees now in force, enacted or imposed in the future on the delivery of Meti Service and/or any related transactions (except for taxes assessed on Meti’s net income or personal property). If for any reason Meti pays any such taxes, duties or excises, you will reimburse Meti for such taxes, duties or excises, other than taxes on Meti’s net income. Meti reserves the right to change the prices for any service package with fifteen days’ notice to you prior to the next billing cycle.
Term and Termination
The term of your Meti Service package is as set forth on the Site and in your billing account details. If your selected Meti Service package requires a recurring subscription fee, your Meti Service package will automatically renew, unless you change your billing settings to month-to-month, we terminate it, or you notify us by email (support@getmeti.com) of your decision to terminate your current Meti Service package at the end of the term. You must cancel any automatically renewing Meti Service package at least 48 hours before it renews in order to avoid billing of subscription fees for the renewal term to your credit card. All fees and charges are nonrefundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially-used periods. If your Meti Service package is for a term of 12 months or longer, your subscription is deemed to have begun during the month in which you were first billed by Meti for the Meti Service package (or, in the event that a Corporate Member connects additional individual Members to its Corporate Policy or otherwise connects individual Members to its Meti Service package after beginning its subscription, from the month in which you were first billed for those additional individual Members).
If you breach any of these Terms of Service, Meti will have the right to suspend, disable or terminate your Account or terminate these Terms of Service, at its sole discretion and without prior notice to you. Meti reserves the right to revoke your access to and use of the Meti Service at any time, with or without cause. In the event Meti terminates these Terms of Service for your breach, you will remain liable for any and all amounts due hereunder. You may cancel your Account at any time by sending an email to support@getmeti.com.

EXCEPT FOR THE INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, SYSTEM FAILURE OR NETWORK OUTAGE, WILL EITHER Meti OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE Meti SERVICE OR SITE CONTENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, Meti SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR Meti SERVICE, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF Meti SERVICE OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE OR SITE CONTENT, OR FROM ANY COMMUNICATIONS, INTERACTIONS OR MEETINGS WITH OTHER USERS OF THE Meti SERVICE OR OTHER PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU COMMUNICATE OR INTERACT AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE Meti SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT Meti HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
EXCEPT FOR THE INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, IN NO EVENT WILL Meti’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE Meti SERVICE OR SITE CONTENT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO Meti FOR USE OF THE Meti SERVICE OR CONTENT. THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN Meti AND YOU. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
8. Dispute Resolution.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW YOU AND Meti CAN BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER. THIS SECTION WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU AND Meti TO SUBMIT CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
You agree that, in the event any dispute or claim arises out of or relating to your use of the Site, the Terms of Service, or the Meti Service, you will contact us at support@getmeti.com and you and Meti will attempt in good faith to negotiate a written resolution of the matter directly. You agree that if the matter remains unresolved for 30 days after notification (via certified mail or personal delivery), such matter will be deemed a “Dispute” as defined below. Except for the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief described under the “Binding Arbitration” section below, should you file any arbitration claims, or any administrative or legal actions without first having attempted to resolve the matter by mediation, then you agree that you will not be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees, even if you may have been entitled to them otherwise.
Binding Arbitration
You and Meti agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Site, the Terms of Service or your use of the Meti Service including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitration (collectively “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. This means that you and Meti both agree to waive the right to a trial by jury. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring a claim against Meti in “small claims” court, instead of by arbitration, but only if the claim is eligible under the rules of the small claims court and is brought in an individual, non-class, and non-representative basis, and only for so long as it remains in the small claims court and in an individual, non-class, and non-representative basis.
Class Action Waiver
You and Meti agree that any proceedings to resolve Disputes will be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. This means that you and Meti both agree to waive the right to participate as a plaintiff as a class member in any class action proceeding. Further, unless you and Meti agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator in any Dispute may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class action proceeding.
Arbitration Administration and Rules
Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of these Terms of Service to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in Miami, Florida before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution’ section. (Please see the JAMS Streamlined Rules and Procedures or call JAMS at 1-800-352-5267).
Arbitration Process
A party who desires to initiate the arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Florida and will be selected by the parties from JAMS’s roster of arbitrators with relevant experience. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within 7 days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then JAMS will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with JAMS Rules.
Arbitration Location and Procedure
Unless you and Meti agree otherwise, the seat of the arbitration shall be in Miami, Florida. If your claim does not exceed USD$10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Meti submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing and the arbitrator then determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds USD$10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by JAMS Rules. Subject to JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. Hearings may be conducted by telephone or video conference, if requested and agreed to by the parties.
Arbitrator’s Decision and Governing Law
These Terms of Service and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules.
The parties acknowledge that these Terms of Service evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provision in the preceding paragraph with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of these Terms of Service shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16) and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator will render an award within the timeframe specified in the JAMS Rules. Judgment on the arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any award of damages by an arbitrator must be consistent with the “Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability” section above. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief in favor of the claimant only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
Fees
Each party’s responsibility to pay the arbitration filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will depend on the circumstances of the arbitration and are set forth in the JAMS Rules.

If you do not consent to the monitoring and recording of telephone calls by Meti, your only remedy is not to engage with Meti by means of a telephone call.

General

The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Meti. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms of Service, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms of Service will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms of Service or otherwise.
