    10. TRANSACTION PROCEDURE

        1. Initiating a Transaction on the Service. A Transaction begins when either:
            • (i) a Seller lists Product(s) for sale on the Trading Zone (a "Product-for-Sale Posting"), or
            • (ii) a Buyer enters a request for Product(s) on the Trading Zone(a "Purchase Request"). YnFx then assigns a Posting ID for such Product-for-Sale Posting or Purchase Request. Any information regarding the Products(s) offered or requested, the terms of such offer, or other information contained in the Trading Zone Posting or Purchase Request is determined solely by the party placing such posting.
          MEMBER SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN THE TRADING ZONE POSTING OR PURCHASE REQUEST (INCLUDING TERMS INDICATING WHEN PAYMENT IS DUE AND WHETHER THERE IS A WARRANTY FOR SUCH PRODUCTS) TO DETERMINE WHETHER SUCH TERMS MEET MEMBER'S NEEDS. MEMBER'S only recourse is against the OTHER PARTY TO THE TRANSACTION.
        2. Bids. Buyers may in future be able to make a bid on Products-for-Sale Postings, and Sellers may bid on Purchase Requests using the assigned Posting ID (each a "Bid"). Unless otherwise stated, all Bid amounts are in Euro.
        3. Payment, Shipping & Taxes. Once an agreement is reached between Buyer and Seller for the Products, Seller and Buyer shall be responsible for setting the terms of payment, shipment, Product warranty (if any), and other terms governing the sale and purchase of Products under this Service. The Seller or Buyer (as agreed upon by the parties to a Transaction) is responsible for collecting and paying all applicable taxes incurred in respect of Products sold or purchased on YnFx and all Members specifically acknowledge that YnFx shall not be responsible for collecting or remitting any taxes except upon its own income. YnFx shall not be responsible for any breach by either party of the terms of any Transaction or associated transaction-related activities.
        4. Transaction Terms. If the agreement reached by the parties does not otherwise specify, then
          • (1) if the Buyer and Seller are both organized in a country, the Transaction shall be governed by the laws of that country including without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in that country; and
          • (2) if either party is not organized in the same country, the Transaction shall be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
      THE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES AND EXCLUSIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS APPLY ONLY TO YnFx AND NOT TO SELLERS AND BUYERS, AS BETWEEN THEM CONCERNING ANY TRANSACTION OR OTHERWISE.
    11. LIMITED PAYMENT GUARANTY.YnFx does not guarantee performance or payment in any Transaction except that solely in the case of Buyers whose credit has been approved by YnFx, YnFx offers a payment guaranty (the"Guaranty") upon the following terms and conditions.
      1. Approval. A Member may apply for credit approval by contacting YnFx at [email protected]. YnFx may grant, withhold, limit or otherwise condition credit approval in its sole discretion.
      2. Approval Designation & Limit. If YnFx approves a Member's credit (a "Credit-Approved Member"), YnFx will specifically indicate its approval and may specify the Euro limit approved (the "Guaranty Limit") on YnFx in a manner so that Sellers will be able to determine the Guaranty Limit of each bidder. The absence of a Guaranty Limit for any Member is not intended to indicate any creditworthiness or lack of creditworthiness of a Member; nor does a Guaranty Limit indicate creditworthiness or a lack of creditworthiness in an amount less than, equal to or greater than the Guaranty Limit.
      3. Transactional Approval. If a Transaction involves a Buyer that is a Credit-Approved Member, YnFx will, upon YnFx's e-mail confirmation of the Transaction to Buyer and Seller (the "Confirmation"), indicate the amount, if any, of the purchase price that YnFx will guarantee (the "Guaranteed Amount"). Each Member acknowledges that a Buyer may be involved in multiple bids and Transactions at the same time, and that the Guaranteed Amount may be significantly less than the Guaranty Limit for that Member.
      4. Scope of Guaranty. In any Transaction for which YnFx has issued a Confirmation specifying a Guaranteed Amount, YnFx guarantees payment to Seller up to the amount of the Guaranteed Amount for that Transaction. The Guaranty by YnFx to Seller is to pay any loss up to the Guaranteed Amount that is due solely to the financial inability of Buyer to pay the Transaction amount when due, provided the Buyer has received and accepted the Products sold in the Transaction without any Dispute. "Dispute" means any deduction, claim, offset, defense or Counter claim of any kind, including without limitation, any dispute relating to the Products or the shipping of the Products or products or services previously paid for (or the shipping thereof) or relating to other claims between the parties.
      5. Obligation to Pay. The guaranty by YnFx is as a secondary obligor, not as the primary obligor. YnFx shall not be obligated to pay any amount until either
        1. Buyer and Seller both confirm by e-mail to YnFx that the Buyer has received and accepted the Products sold in the Transaction without any Dispute and that due to Buyer's financial inability to pay, no payment has been made by Buyer within 45 days of such payment due date, or
        2. Seller presents to YnFx an order from a tribunal of competent jurisdiction, which has reduced Seller's claim to an award, from which no further appeal may be taken and which requires no further performance by Seller or Buyer other than a payment by Buyer to Seller (an "Order").
      6. Payment on Guaranty. Payment on the Guaranty shall be the lesser of
        1. the Transaction amount,
        2. the amount set forth in the Order, or
        3. the Guaranteed Amount, less (in either case) any amounts due from Seller to YnFx, including without limitation, fees owing by Seller to YnFx in respect of the Transaction or other transactions and amounts due to YnFx by Seller in its capacity as a buyer in any other transaction. Payment by YnFx shall not affect the rights between the Buyer and Seller, except as otherwise provided in the Transaction agreement between Buyer and Seller. Buyer and Seller jointly and severally agree to defend, indemnify and hold YnFx harmless in respect of any loss, damage or expense (including without limitation, attorneys' fees) arising from any Dispute.
      7. Repayment By Buyer. Buyer agrees unconditionally to repay to YnFx all amounts paid by YnFx on the Guaranty plus interest at the rate of 1.5% per month on all such amounts, including interest from the date of YnFx's payment on the Guaranty until all amounts, including interest shall have been paid in full.
      8. Security Interest in the Products. Buyer hereby grants to YnFx, for the benefit of YnFx, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of Buyer's obligations hereunder (including all payments by Buyer), a security interest in the Products and so pledges and assigns to YnFx, for the benefit of YnFx in those transactions when YnFx is providing a Guaranty pursuant to this Section 11 and where the Buyer has acknowledged such Guaranty by e-mail acceptance, the Products, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Buyer agrees to endorse, execute, assign and deliver to YnFx all negotiable or non-negotiable instruments, agreements, and documents, together with instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as YnFx may request from time to time, in order to perfect YnFx's security interest in the Products.

Members hereby consent to personal jurisdiction by the state and federal courts located in Bombay, Maharastra, India.
