2. OUR RELATIONSHIP
2.1 BUBS WAREHOUSE PTY LTD provides a Site whereby you may advertise Products and Vouchers for sale to Users. Users may order and purchase those Products and Vouchers from you, as a SUPPLIER. Users do not purchase any Products or Vouchers from BUBS WAREHOUSE PTY LTD directly and BUBS WAREHOUSE PTY LTD simply acts as a limited agent for you and the User, for the following purposes only:
(a) facilitating the purchase of Products or Vouchers from you by Users;
(b) collecting payment from Users for purchases which they make;
(c) paying you your SUPPLIER Fees (as described below); and
(d) providing the Support Services (as described below) in respect of issues arising between you and Users, in relation to the supply of Products or Vouchers.
3. ACCOUNTS AND APPLICATION FORMS

3.2 You will be responsible for all usage of your Account and the use of your Account by others (including your employees, officers or agents) or any unauthorised use. You must immediately advise us if you become aware of unauthorised use of your email/accounts.
3.3 At the time an Account is set up, and at such other times as required by BUBS WAREHOUSE PTY LTD, SUPPLIERS must update out of stock notice and price changes of items selling on our website.
3.4 Once we accept a SUPPLIER Application Form, we will permit you to list your Products and Vouchers for sale to Users on the Site. If you are asked by us to complete a new SUPPLIER Application Form, then this will override any prior form completed by you.
3.5 Either at the time of completing a SUPPLIER Application Form or at such other time as notified to you by BUBS WAREHOUSE PTY LTD in our sole discretion, we will confirm to you our commission which we will deduct from all sales which you make through the Site (“Commission”).
