2. Trader obligations and verification (Know Your Business)
- Mandatory professional status: only legally constituted legal entities or traders may publish or make offers on the Marketplace.
- Accuracy of offers: the supplier warrants that it holds title, sanitary authorizations (e.g. FDA, EFSA, SENASA, ICA) and the logistical capacity to supply the published lots according to the agreed specifications.
- Incoterms 2020 and private contracting: delivery terms (FOB, CIF, CFR, EXW), shipment deadlines, laboratory analyses (moisture, protein, acidity, impurities) and banking settlement methods (irrevocable letters of credit, CAD) are agreed autonomously and directly between buyer and seller.

- Failure to meet technical specifications, deterioration, shrinkage, contamination or phytosanitary rejection of grain or agricultural by-product lots.
