1.1 Program Description. Nav's Vendor Marketplace Program (the "Program") is a technology platform that connects Nav Prime subscribers ("Vendors") with potential business customers ("Buyers") seeking trade credit terms. Nav provides technology services to facilitate introductions and data sharing but does not participate in, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any credit transactions between Vendors and Buyers.
1.2 Eligibility. To participate in the Program, you must be a current Nav subscriber in good standing. Participation in the Program is voluntary and subject to these terms.
1.3 Enrollment. By enrolling in the Program, you agree to these terms and acknowledge that you will be solely responsible for all credit decisions, risk assessment, and collection activities related to trade credit you extend to Buyers.
2.1 Marketing Tools. Nav will provide you with QR codes and web links that direct potential Buyers to Nav's application platform. You may display these marketing tools in your physical locations, on your website, or through other marketing channels.
2.2 Buyer Application Process. When a Buyer accesses your marketing tools, Nav will host an application process where the Buyer provides business and personal information, connects bank accounts, and completes other data collection steps. If the Buyer is not already a Nav customer, they will first create a free Nav account.
2.3 Data Analysis and Recommendations. Nav may analyze the Buyer's information and may provide you with business data, credit assessment information, and a recommendation to approve or decline the Buyer's application. This recommendation is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a credit decision.
2.4 Vendor Decision Process. You will access Buyer applications through your Nav account dashboard and make independent credit decisions based on your own criteria, risk tolerance, and business judgment. Nav provides data analysis and automated recommendations based on available information and parameters that you have communicated to Nav, but makes no credit decisions.
3.1 Credit Decisions. You have sole authority and responsibility for all credit decisions regarding Buyer applications. You may approve, decline, or modify credit terms for any Buyer regardless of Nav's recommendation.
3.2 Legal Compliance. You are responsible for ensuring your participation in the Program and any credit you extend complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including but not limited to fair lending laws, consumer protection regulations, and licensing requirements.
3.3 Customer Relationship. Once you approve a Buyer, you are solely responsible for the ongoing customer relationship, including order fulfillment, customer service, billing, payment processing, and dispute resolution.
3.4 Collections and Default Management. You bear full responsibility for collecting payments from Buyers and managing any defaults, delinquencies, or payment disputes. Nav has no obligation to assist with collection efforts.
3.5 Record Keeping. You must maintain adequate records of all transactions with Buyers and comply with applicable record retention requirements.
3.6 Customer Service Standards. You must maintain adequate customer service capabilities to support Buyers who have been approved for trade credit. This includes responding promptly to Buyer inquiries, resolving order and payment issues, and maintaining professional communication standards. Poor customer service that reflects negatively on the Program may result in termination of your participation.
4.1 Technology Platform Only. Nav provides technology services to facilitate connections between Vendors and Buyers. Nav does not make credit decisions, extend credit, guarantee payments, or participate in transactions between Vendors and Buyers.
4.2 Data Processing Services. Nav collects information from Buyers and provides analysis and recommendations to help inform your credit decisions. These services are provided for informational purposes only.
4.3 No Guarantees. Nav makes no representations or warranties regarding Buyer creditworthiness, ability to pay, or likelihood of default. Nav's recommendations are based on available data and algorithms but do not guarantee Buyer performance.
4.4 No Collection Services. Nav will not assist with payment collection, default management, or dispute resolution between Vendors and Buyers.
4.5 Optional Agreement Template. As a convenience to you, Nav may provide a template agreement for you to use with Buyers for your trade credit arrangements. This template is provided for informational purposes only and "as-is," without any warranty, express or implied. You are not required to use this template. You are free to use your own credit agreement, provided it complies with all applicable laws. The decision to use, modify, or rely on the Nav-provided template is yours alone. Nav is not a party to any agreement between you and a Buyer and is not responsible for the content, enforceability, or legal sufficiency of any agreement you use, whether it is based on our template or your own. We recommend you consult with your own legal counsel to ensure any agreement you use meets your specific business needs.
5.1 You agree that any marketing or promotional materials that reference Nav, the Vendor Marketplace Program, or use Nav's name, logo, or the specific QR codes and links provided by Nav must be pre-approved by Nav in writing. You may not create your own materials that mention Nav without our consent.
5.2 For clarity, this restriction does not prevent you from independently marketing your own trade credit or "Net 30" program, provided such marketing does not reference Nav or use any materials provided by Nav.
6.1 Buyer Data Collection. Nav collects business information, owner information, financial data, and credit-related information from Buyers during the application process.
6.2 Data Shared with Vendors. Nav will share certain Buyer information with you, including business details, owner information, credit assessment data, and payment recommendations, but will not share personal banking credentials or other sensitive personal information.
6.3 Data Security. Both parties will maintain reasonable security measures to protect shared data and comply with applicable privacy laws.

If you choose to seek a personal credit report, you are solely responsible for obtaining the required legal authorization directly from the individual, entirely outside of the Nav platform.
