Vendor Fees
If the project you are applying for is subject to our Vendor Fees, the fee we charge to the winning vendor(s) for using Govlist Services amounts to 1.5% of the total contract value of the project being solicited. We may change our vendor fees from time to time by posting the changes on our website, but with no advance notice required for temporary promotions or any updates that result in changes to fees. If you are a vendor, you are liable for transaction fees arising out of all sales made using some or all Govlist Services, even if sales terms are finalized or payment is made outside of our system. In particular, if you offer or reference your contact information or ask a buyer for their contact information in the context of buying or selling outside of our system, you will still be liable to pay the fees applicable to that item, even if the item doesn’t sell, given your usage of Govlist Services for the introduction to a buyer. You must pay all fees and applicable taxes associated with Govlist Services by the payment due date, which is within 30 days of when the invoice was sent. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect amounts owed by charging other payment methods on file with us, retain collection agencies and legal counsel, and, for accounts over 60 days past due, request that PayPal deduct the amount owed from your PayPal account balance. In addition, you will be subject to late fees, or the collection agencies we retain, may also report information about your account to credit bureaus, and as a result, late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report. If you wish to dispute the information Govlist reported to a credit bureau (i.e., Experian, Equifax or TransUnion) please contact us at Govlist Inc., Global Collections, [email protected]. If you wish to dispute the information a collection agency reported to a credit bureau regarding your account, you must contact the collection agency directly. Vendor fees don’t purchase exclusive rights to item exposure on Govlist, whether on a web page, mobile app, or otherwise. We may, in our sole discretion and without consent from, or payment, fee reduction, or other credit to, vendors, display third-party advertisements (including links and references thereto) or other content in any part of Govlist Services.
