Terms & Conditions

1. About Minxe

Minxe Procurement Technologies ("Minxe", "we", "us") operates a digital procurement platform that connects contractors with verified construction material suppliers across the United Kingdom. The platform is currently in private beta testing. By using our platform, you agree to these terms.

Company registration details and registered address will be added to these terms upon formal incorporation, prior to public launch.

The Minxe platform is intended for use by construction industry professionals, including contractors, developers, and material suppliers. By submitting a procurement request, you confirm that:

• The information you provide is accurate and relates to a genuine procurement need.
• You are authorised to submit requests on behalf of your company.
• You will not use the platform for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose.
• You understand that Minxe acts as an intermediary only and is not a party to any transaction between contractors and suppliers.

When you submit a procurement request, Minxe will match your request with suppliers in our network based on postcode area and material type. By submitting a request, you consent to your contact details (email address and phone number) being shared with matched suppliers for the purpose of obtaining quotes.

• A user is found to be in breach of these terms.
• A user provides false or misleading information.

7. Data & Privacy

Minxe collects and processes personal data including names, email addresses, phone numbers, and company information in order to provide the platform service. By using Minxe, you consent to this processing. Your data is stored on servers in Ireland (EU).

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Contact details submitted with procurement requests are shared only with matched suppliers for the purpose of fulfilling that specific request. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.

8. Liability

Minxe is a technology intermediary and is not liable for the quality, pricing, availability, or delivery of any materials procured through introductions made on the platform. All contracts for the supply of materials are directly between the contractor and the supplier.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Minxe's total liability to you for any claims arising out of or related to your use of the platform shall not exceed £100. This limit applies regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise.

Minxe is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss or damage arising from your use of the platform, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such loss.

9. Intellectual Property

All content, branding, and technology on the Minxe platform is owned by Minxe Procurement Technologies. You may not copy, reproduce, or distribute any part of the platform without our written permission.

10. Force Majeure

Minxe shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these terms where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, power failures, internet outages, third-party service failures, or government actions.

11. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time, particularly as the platform moves from beta to public launch. Continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. We will notify registered users of any material changes by email.

13. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from use of the Minxe platform shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
