Refill Point Profiles

As a Partner, you are required to create Business Profile followed by Profiles of Refill Point(s) that you own or are directly under your control. To create a Refill Point Profile, you will be asked a variety of questions about the Refill Point to be listed, including, but not limited to, the business name, brand name, location, features, hours of operation of the Refill Point, water quality data, and pricing and related rules and financial terms. In order to be featured in Profiles via the Website, Application, and Services, all Refill Point Profiles must have valid physical addresses/locations co-ordinates (latitude, longitude). Refill Points will be made publicly available via the Website, Application, and Services. Other users, partners will be able to view your listed Refill Point(s) via the Website, Application, and Services based upon the information provided in your Refill Point Profile. You understand and agree that in exchange for being listed, once a User requests water, you may not deny that request or ask the User to pay for the water unless the Refill Point has been listed as a “pay-per-use” or a “paid” refill point. You may offer other products or services on payment basis to users at their request as per your line and nature of business.

You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for any and all Refill Points Profiles and Partner Content you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Refill Point you create on the website, application (i) does not and will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, such as restaurant owners association, market associations, governing agencies, lease, or rental agreements, and (ii) is and will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws (such as zoning laws and laws governing health inspection and food safety), Tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (b) does not and will not conflict with the rights of third parties. BluHop assumes no responsibility for a Partner’s compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules, and regulations. BluHop reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Refill Point or Points for any reason, including Listings that BluHop, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or otherwise harmful to the Website, Application, or Services. If you are a Partner, you understand and agree that BluHop does not act as an insurer. If a User requests water at your Refill Point, any agreement you enter into with such User is between you and the User and BluHop is not a party to it. BluHop recommends that Partners obtain appropriate insurance for their Refill Points. It is the responsibility of the Partner to ensure that insurance is adequate and that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Users while at your Refill Point.

BluHop may offer Partners the option of having photographers take photographs of their Refill Point. You agree that you alone are responsible for ensuring that your Profile/business is accurately represented in the Images. All images, materials, and content created by these photographers, including Images, constitute BluHop Content, regardless of whether you include them in your Listing. You agree that BluHop may use these Images for advertising, marketing, commercial and other business purposes in any media or platform, whether in relation to your Refill Point or otherwise, without further notice or compensation.

No Endorsement

BluHop does not endorse any Partner or any Refill Point. You understand that any Images used are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of the Refill Point at the time the photograph was taken. Images are therefore not an endorsement by BluHop of any Partner or any Refill Point. Partners, users are required by these Terms to provide accurate information (where needed), and although BluHop may undertake additional checks and processes designed to help verify or check the identities or backgrounds of users, partners, BluHop does not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse any user, Partner or their purported identity or background.

Any references in the Website, Application, or Services to a Partner, User being "verified" (or similar language, graphic, signs) only indicates that the Partner, User has completed a relevant registration process, and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification, or guarantee by BluHop about any Partner or User, including their identity and whether they are trustworthy, reliable, safe, or suitable. Any references in the Website, Application, or Services to a Partner Water Quality score, data, results, or concentrations represent the results of a third party analysis. The presence of a Partner’s water quality information does not represent that BluHop guarantees its accuracy. As a user you expressly understand and agree to make your own decisions about the identity and suitability of Refill Points whom you contact or interact with via the Website, Application, and Services. BluHop recommends that you always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to obtain water from a Partner or Refill Point, or to have any other interaction with any other Partner, user.
