B. Full-page version

1. JVCO is a facilitator only

Joint Ventures Consulting LLC ("JVCO") is a consultant and intermediary. We help introduce buyers, sellers, and their representatives in physical commodity transactions, including sulphur, gold, refined fuels (such as EN590, ULSD, Jet A1, and gasoline), crude oil, LNG, LPG, and copper.

JVCO is never the seller, buyer, principal, or title-holder of any commodity. We do not own, store, ship, inspect, insure, or finance product, we do not issue or receive letters of credit or other payment instruments for product, and we do not hold funds on behalf of any party. JVCO has no authority to bind any buyer or seller, and no buyer, seller, or other intermediary is authorized to bind JVCO.

2. No offer; everything is subject to the principals

Nothing on this Site, and nothing JVCO sends or says (including any product listing, specification, price indication, procedure, soft or full corporate offer we pass on, or other document), is an offer, acceptance, or commitment by JVCO. Any offer comes from the principal who issues it, and is subject to:

• that principal's final written confirmation;
• signed documentation between the principals (typically an executed Sale and Purchase Agreement); and
• completion of KYC, AML, sanctions, and any other verification and compliance checks required by the principals and their banks.

The principals are not bound until they sign definitive documents. Procedures, timelines, and terms described on this Site are examples and may change.

3. No guarantee

JVCO does not guarantee, and is not responsible for:

• the performance or non-performance of any party;
• delivery, shipment, timing, or availability of any product;
• the quality, quantity, specification, origin, or legal status of any product;
• payment, the issuance or confirmation of any payment instrument, or the solvency of any party or bank; or
• the accuracy of any information or document provided by a principal, supplier, bank, inspector, or other intermediary.

JVCO passes on third-party information in good faith but does not independently verify it. Every party must carry out its own due diligence and rely on independent inspection (for example, SGS or Intertek), its own bank, and its own legal and tax advisers.

4. Compensation

JVCO's compensation is governed by separate written agreements and does not make JVCO a party to the sale or a guarantor of any obligation.

5. No upfront fees for product

JVCO does not accept upfront fees, deposits, or advance payments for product. JVCO will never ask you to pay for a commodity, or to pay a "release," "registration," "document," or "allocation" fee for product, into a JVCO account or any personal account. Payment for product is made only between the principals through the banking channels set out in their signed agreement.

6. Beware of impersonation fraud

Commodity trading is a frequent target of fraud. Criminals may use JVCO's name, logo, or staff names, forged documents, look-alike email domains, or messaging apps to request payments or documents.

• Verify any communication claiming to come from JVCO only through the official contact details on this Site: trade@jointventuresco.com.
• JVCO email comes only from @jointventuresco.com addresses. Check the spelling carefully.
• JVCO will never change banking details by email or message. Treat any such request as suspicious.
• Do not send money, passport copies, or banking details in response to an unverified request.

If you suspect impersonation, contact us at trade@jointventuresco.com and report it to your local authorities (in the U.S., the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov). JVCO is not liable for any loss caused by fraud, impersonation, or communications that did not come from JVCO's official channels.

7. Compliance

JVCO does not facilitate transactions that breach applicable sanctions, export control, anti-money laundering, anti-bribery, or other laws. JVCO may decline or stop any introduction at any time, without giving reasons.

8. Other terms

Use of this Site is also governed by our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. JVCO's role and compensation in any transaction are governed only by the separate written agreements JVCO signs.
