Commercial Access Terms

LionSilica is a premium private-market intelligence, intake, routing, and execution support platform for industrial commodities including silica, frac sand, gold, bauxite, copper, cobalt, manganese, sulfur, urea, lithium, and related industrial and energy materials. Use of the platform does not itself create a transaction, a binding quote, or a duty to complete a transaction.

Any public-facing indicators, commentary, editorial summaries, route suggestions, or intelligence surfaces are provided for informational workflow support. They are not a guarantee of price, spread, availability, timing, counterparties, shipment, logistics, creditworthiness, quality, or completed commercial outcome.

Public proxy indicators, freight context, industrial indicators, materials indicators, and editorial posture labels must not be treated as executable private-market commodity pricing, guaranteed spread information, guaranteed supplier depth, guaranteed route availability, or guaranteed counterparty intent.

Users remain solely responsible for all diligence and decision-making relating to legal, commercial, credit, freight, tax, sanctions, environmental, customs, safety, quality, and regulatory matters. LionSilica does not replace the user's procurement, legal, finance, compliance, or logistics functions.

Users are solely responsible for determining whether any request, response, quote, route, payment, shipment, room, or commercial communication is appropriate for their organization, commercial authority, internal approvals, insurance posture, and compliance requirements.

No broker-dealer, fiduciary, adviser, agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship is created by use of the platform unless explicitly set out in a separate signed written agreement executed by LionSilica.

Platform access does not create a guaranteed intermediary relationship, guaranteed supplier-selection duty, guaranteed sourcing obligation, guaranteed financing path, guaranteed room opening, or any obligation for LionSilica to route, prioritize, or complete any opportunity.

Users may submit company, demand, supply, routing, and contact information only where they are authorized to do so. Users must not submit confidential or restricted content beyond what is appropriate for the intended workflow. LionSilica may screen, redact, reject, hold, or remove submissions at its discretion.

LionSilica may gate access, limit room visibility, withhold counterparty identity, or pause a process where verification, policy, legal, risk, payment, misuse, or platform-protection concerns require intervention.

LionSilica may refuse, suspend, delay, or terminate access where verification, sanctions, payment, misuse, information-quality, security, policy, technical, or commercial-protection concerns require intervention, without any obligation to continue a workflow or preserve access to a surface.

The platform is provided on an as-is and as-available basis without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, availability, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted service. LionSilica may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time.

Preview surfaces, premium demos, empty states, access-orientation screens, and editorial summaries may be shown for product guidance. They are not promises that any live room, match, supplier, buyer, payment path, or transaction opportunity is available to a particular user.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, LionSilica and its affiliates are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, special, lost-profit, lost-opportunity, freight, shipment, quality, financing, business interruption, goodwill, or data-related damages arising from use of the platform.

Users agree to indemnify and hold LionSilica harmless from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from submitted information, misuse, third-party disputes, regulatory violations, shipment disputes, payment disputes, or breach of these terms or applicable law.

Subscription, intelligence access, and payment paths may involve recurring billing, non-refundable charges once access is provisioned, and separate transaction-specific terms for room participation, escrow, checkout, or execution. Participation in any deal room or execution path may require further acceptance of additional terms.

Users are responsible for preserving account security, device security, credential confidentiality, and lawful use. LionSilica may retain acceptance, routing, access, and payment event records for platform protection, fraud review, compliance support, and audit purposes.
