I. [Scope of the Agreement]
1.1 This Agreement is an agreement concluded between you and the operator of the Silk Road Global Chemical Engineering Service Platform (hereinafter referred to as the "Platform Operator") regarding your use of the services of the Silk Road Global Chemical Engineering Service Platform. "User" refers to an individual or organization that registers, logs in to, and uses an account of this Platform (including demanders of chemical engineering projects, providers of chemical engineering services, relevant industry partners, etc.), and is more frequently referred to as "you" in this Agreement. "Other Users" refers to all users related to the services of this Platform other than the User himself/herself/itself.
1.2 The Service provided by the Platform Operator to Users includes publishing project demands in the field of chemical engineering, showcasing service supply capabilities, publicizing service provider information, project matching and docking, qualification verification, as well as related Internet technology services.
1.3 The content of this Agreement shall also include relevant agreements, service statements, business rules, announcements, and guidelines regarding the Service that the Platform Operator may issue from time to time (collectively referred to as "Special Rules" below). Once officially released, the aforementioned content shall constitute an integral part of this Agreement, and you shall also comply with them.
II. [Account Registration and Authentication]
2.1 You are required to register an account on the Silk Road Global Chemical Engineering Service Platform before using the Service. Platform accounts are registered and bound via email addresses or enterprise unified social credit codes, and you must complete the registration process using authentic and valid information. The Platform Operator reserves the right to change the methods of account registration and binding according to user needs and product requirements. For specific rules governing your use of the account, please comply with the relevant account usage agreement and the Special Rules issued by the Platform Operator for this purpose.
2.2 Upon successful registration of your account, the system will automatically generate a unique Platform account ID for you. You may set your account nickname, avatar, and other information in accordance with Platform rules. The setting of account nicknames and avatars must not violate any laws or regulations or infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of others in any form; otherwise, the Platform Operator has the right to handle your account information at any time without prior notice.
2.3 Applications for publicizing service provider information submitted by Users shall be subject to review and judgment by the Platform Operator. The review of service provider information on this Platform is limited to the screening and verification of materials and information submitted by Users. The Platform Operator shall conduct reasonable and prudent formal review of the materials and information submitted by Users, but within the legal authority and reasonable capacity of the Platform Operator, it cannot conduct substantive review of Users' actual operation, service capabilities, project authenticity, and other behaviors, and shall not provide any guarantee therefor. If a dispute arises between you and other Users or third parties due to your actions, you shall independently assume liability externally, and you shall compensate the Platform Operator, other Users, or third parties for any damages caused thereby in accordance with the law.
To provide Users with more professional services in the field of chemical engineering, you agree to authorize the Platform Operator to entrust a third party to conduct verification, inspection, and review of your submitted registration materials, authentication materials, and other information registration data. The Platform Operator may also, within the scope permitted by law and necessary for review, inquire about the materials, information, and relevant background and associated information submitted by you, and determine the authentication result after making an independent judgment based on the review findings.
2.4 Registered users of this Platform shall truthfully fill in and submit account registration and authentication materials, complete information registration, and be responsible for the authenticity, legality, accuracy, validity and timeliness of such materials. Within the scope permitted by law, the Platform Operator will display your registration information and authentication qualifications to other Users based on the account materials you have filled in and submitted.
If a User needs to obtain permits, complete filings, or acquire relevant legal qualifications as stipulated by laws and regulations (such as chemical engineering design qualifications, construction qualifications, work safety licenses, etc.) to provide chemical engineering-related services or publish project demands, the User shall explicitly state this during account registration and authentication and submit the corresponding permits, filings or qualification certificates. Otherwise, the Platform Operator has the right to refuse or terminate the provision of the Service and impose penalties on the violating account in accordance with this Agreement. You shall compensate the Platform Operator or any third party for any damages caused thereby in accordance with the law.
You understand and agree that:
III. [Protection of User Information]
3.1 Protecting User information (including personal information and enterprise operational information) is a fundamental principle of the Platform Operator. The Platform Operator will adopt reasonable technical and management measures to safeguard the security of User information. Except as otherwise stipulated by laws and regulations, the Platform Operator will not publicly disclose or reveal User information to any third party without the User's permission. The Platform Operator uses professional encryption for the storage and transmission of relevant information to ensure the security of User information.
3.2 During your application for the Service, you will be required to fill in some necessary information. Please keep such information true, accurate, legal, valid and updated in a timely manner so that the Platform Operator can provide you with timely and effective assistance or better services. In accordance with relevant laws, regulations and policies, please fill in your real identity information and enterprise qualification information. If the information you fill in is incomplete or inaccurate, you may be unable to use the Service or be restricted during use.
3.3 In general, you may browse and modify the non-authentication information you have submitted at any time. However, for the sake of security and identity verification (such as account appeal services), you may not be able to modify the initial registration information provided at the time of registration or the qualification information that has already been authenticated. If you need to modify authenticated information, you must submit an application to the Platform Operator and obtain approval after review.
3.4 The Platform Operator will establish a sound management system using various security technologies and procedures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
3.5 Without your consent, the Platform Operator will not disclose your information to any company, organization or individual other than the Platform Operator, except as otherwise stipulated by laws and regulations.
