Global B2B Group operates a supplier-neutral, cross-border industrial marketplace. Every user must comply with international sanctions, export controls and restricted-party screening rules that apply to their business, jurisdiction and transaction.
1. Applicable regimes
This policy references, without limitation, sanctions and export-control regimes issued by the United Nations, the European Union, the United Kingdom (OFSI), the United States (OFAC, BIS, State Department), and any other jurisdiction whose regime applies to the user, the counterparty, the goods, the technology, the currency or the routing bank.
2. Prohibited counterparties and destinations
The Platform must not be used to arrange, introduce, quote, finance or ship goods, services or technology to or for the benefit of any individual, entity, vessel or destination that is comprehensively sanctioned or restricted under an applicable regime.
3. Restricted goods and technology
Users are responsible for classifying their products under applicable export-control regimes (dual-use, military, encryption, catch-all controls) and for obtaining any required licences before quoting, shipping or exchanging technical information.
4. Screening the Platform may perform
Global B2B Group may screen users, beneficial owners and known counterparties against publicly available sanctions and restricted-party lists. Screening is a risk-based Platform measure and is not a substitute for the user's own compliance programme.
5. Red flags
Indicators that may trigger enhanced review include: transhipment via a high-risk jurisdiction; reluctance to disclose end-use or end-user; technology likely to require an export licence; payment routed through an unrelated third country; deliberate under-invoicing; last-minute change of consignee.
6. Blocking, delay and termination
Global B2B Group reserves the right to block, delay, decline or terminate any introduction, RFQ, listing or account where a sanctions or export-control concern arises, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. This includes suspending access pending clarification.
7. Reporting
Where required by law, Global B2B Group may report a matter to the competent authority and freeze relevant data.
