35. We hereby set guidelines to instil a better understanding on our standards of terminating accounts. Cobroking shall terminate, or possibly, suspend user accounts when, but not limited to, and will be added with due time:
a) The user uses Cobroking’s feature with the interest, and objectives, within definition, identical to that of that of a buyer. The “buyer” is being defined, contextually, as someone who purchases the products advertised within Cobroking, and; practically, using Cobroking while, possibly, falsely representing as a buyer when the alleged is a buyer themselves. And;
b) The user who undercuts another Cobroking user. “Undercut” is defined, and understood within the fields of sales adequately, in this context, as an act of directly contacting the buyer while representing a seller, and disregarding the Cobroking user representing the buyer’s interests, selling the product to the buyer, possibily or not, at a cheaper price while the representative of the buyer will, potentially, if without any authorised form of contracts in writings with the buyer themselves, not gain any commissions.
c) The user commits phishing. “Phishing”, in this context, is defined as a practice of trying to uncover personal details outside of the party involved in a conversation between two persons.
d) Any users using Cobroking as an intermediary for illegal conducts. Such as, but not limited to: i. Advertising illegal goods ii. Conducting scams iii. Harming others of their human rights iv. And other acts of the same context.
e) Any users who harms the interest of their partners. Specifically, in this context, those who refers clients that, in a previous dealing, was referred to said person, to another Listing Cobroker of the same industry as the Cobroker that referred clients to them in the first place. i. For example, if an Automotive expert Cobroker had completed a deal with the client that was referred to them by a Real Estate Cobroker, then within a span of 3 months, that Automotive expert Cobroker is prohibited from referring that said client to another Real Estate Cobroker or sales professionals.
f) And others, upon Cobroking’s independent investigation when dispute along the line of the context under this section arises.
g) Should, upon independent investigation, that Cobroking, under our independent judgement, see that termination of account could be too severe depending on the context of the dispute, we might consider suspension instead of termination.
36. The protection in Cobroking, is defined as measures that would help protect users’ interest within our authority through using Cobroking’s chat. One of the main form of protection is known as the Cobroking Agreement, which can be accessed through Cobroking’s app.
a) Upon using Cobroking’s Chat function, users are reasonably informed that: i. How using Cobroking’s Chat would imply their acknowledgement that they have serious intention to commit to the dealing they make. ii. How their conversations would remain undeleted, which could serve for record purposes in order to help protect both parties’ rights. iii. The conversations, along with the Cobroking Agreement shall be the elements to prove both parties’ promises to each other and that they will have to commit to the
promises should the consideration has been executed from one party.
37. Cobroking, upon disputes between Cobroking users arise, shall make investigations and upon adequate exercise of judgement, take actions to ensure the relevant rights within the interpretation of Cobroking, is protected, within the authority of Cobroking.
a) Cobroking shall take measures to make a pursuit to demand the allegedly wrong party to commit to their promises, or, to make any rightful compensation where adequate.
b) All of the costs incurred within the pursuit of demand towards the allegedly wrong party shall be bore by the said party should they have been proven, to a reasonable extent, to have failed their promises when they have, in that situation, to commit to their promise.
38. The rights to protection shall be refused in the following scenarios:
a) Cobroking user, who is a legitimate buyer of the item dealt, initiated Cobroking as a representative of a buyer and received Commissions which consequently resulted in an unauthorised discount, then said user shall not be entitled to the protection.
b) Cobroking user who commits an undercut, as defined in section 34(b), shall not be entitled to the rights of the protection.
