Exhibit 10.1
PURCHASEPRO MARKETPLACE USER TERMS OF USE
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. TO USE THE MARKETPLACE YOU

These User Terms of Use ("Terms of Use") are being executed between you
and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, Inc. ("PurchasePro") and govern your access to, and use of,
a browser based electronic commerce marketplace based upon PurchasePro
proprietary software and technology (hereinafter referred to as, the
"Marketplace"). The Marketplace is currently being made available to you through
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, Inc. ("Marketplace Owner"). In the event you are agreeing to
these Terms of Use in your capacity as an authorized representative (e.g.,
owner, officer or authorized employee, agent or representative) of an entity
(e.g., a corporation), then references to "you" or "your" mean you and the
entity on the behalf of which these Terms of Use are being agreed to. References
to "User" in these Terms of Use mean references to you.
Until you complete the registration process for the Marketplace
(including, without limitation, agreeing to these Terms of Use by signing below)
you have no right to make use of the Marketplace. Your acceptance of these Terms
of Use evidences your agreement to be bound by them. PurchasePro may modify
these terms and conditions at any time upon written notice or by posting to the
Marketplace. You agree that if you use the Marketplace after such notification
or posting of modifications in the Terms of Use you will be bound by the Terms
of Use as modified.
1. SERVICES PROVIDED. Subject to these Terms of Use, PurchasePro shall
make available to User electronic access to, and use of, the Marketplace.
2. PAYMENT TERMS. User shall pay to PurchasePro: (a) the then-current base
monthly fee, if any, indicated within the Marketplace as being applicable to the
then-current subscription option elected by User (which subscription option was
either elected by User initially as part of the on-line registration process or
subsequently through the administrative facilities available on the Marketplace)
(the "Subscription Fee"); and (b) the then-current fees, if any, indicated
within the Marketplace as being applicable to the actions taken by User pursuant
to User's use of the Marketplace (e.g., responding to an RFQ or accepting a PO)
("Transaction Fees"). Subscription Fees shall be paid by User on a monthly basis
in advance. Transaction Fees generated by User shall be accrued by PurchasePro
on a monthly basis and be paid by User on a monthly basis in arrears. At the end
of each month, PurchasePro shall charge User, and User shall pay PurchasePro, a
single amount consisting of the Subscription Fee, if any, for the upcoming month
and the Transaction Fees, if any, from the ending month. In addition, User will
be charged a Thirty Five Dollar ($35.00) fee if its Marketplace account is
placed on hold or terminated due to non-payment in breach of these Terms of Use.
User must pay all past due amounts before its account will be reactivated. All
User payments due PurchasePro under these Terms of Use shall be: (i) paid
directly to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, Inc. on a non-refundable basis; (ii) made by Visa,
MasterCard or American Express; and (iii) deemed earned and retained by
PurchasePro. You agree to pay if and when due all federal, state and local taxes
applicable to your subscription to, and use of, the Marketplace. PurchasePro
shall, upon receipt of a written request from User, furnish User with a
statement detailing the Subscription Fees and Transaction Fees charged to User
for any given month (limited to the last twelve (12) calendar months relative to
the time of request). In addition, in the event User notifies PurchasePro of
potential billing errors with respect to PurchasePro charges for any particular
month (limited to the last three (3) calendar months relative to the time of
notice) PurchasePro will use reasonable efforts to resolve any actual billing
errors within sixty (60) days of the date of notice.
