Buying and Selling of Products and Services by Participants

Portions of this Web Site enable certain Participants ("Buyers") to purchase products and services from other Participants, primarily Suppliers ("Sellers"). In the execution of this function, the Web Site displays certain Web Site Content and provides a communications environment in which Buyer and Seller can shop for, order, arrange shipping, and arrange payment of products and services.

Furthermore, all products and services, the purchase and sale of which are negotiated through this Web Site, are purchased and sold according to terms and conditions agreed to by the Seller, or negotiated between the Buyer and the Seller.

RSI is neither the Buyer, nor the Seller of any products or services offered for sale through the Web Site, (unless it is acting for its own account).

Special Terms Applicable to International Users

Certain Participants who are Franchisees and who own or operate Burger King^® restaurants in countries other than the United States of America ("International Users") specifically agree to and are bound by the following additional terms and conditions.

As an International User acting as a Buyer through this Web Site, You hereby appoint RSI to be Your purchasing agent for the limited purpose of negotiating the price and certain of the terms and conditions of sale of all of the products and services available through this Web Site. In connection with Your purchases through this Web Site, You shall become eligible to receive a patronage dividend, calculated on the dollar amount of Your purchases and utilizing a formula approved by RSI in the event that RSI declares such a dividend for purchases made by International Users. You will only become eligible for such patronage dividend in the event that RSI declares a patronage dividend on purchases made through this Web Site applicable to International Users, in accordance with its By-Laws. You acknowledge and agree that while this patronage dividend will be calculated in a manner consistent with any patronage dividend to be received by Members, such patronage dividend will be subject to a surcharge of up to 35% of the gross amount payable to You, which will be retained by RSI, and which represents Your pro-rata, non-Member cost contribution related to the operations of RSI, including this Web Site. Notwithstanding the appointment as purchasing agent, above, all Participants understand and agree that RSI has no other authority to act on behalf of or bind the International User and shall have no liability or other responsibility with respect to any payment or performance obligations, or other legal obligations, of the International User to any other Participant, third party or otherwise, unless such obligations are expressly assumed by RSI in writing.

Payment of any patronage dividend will be made in U.S. Dollars to the franchise group identified in Your registration, without reference to exchange rates. Payment of any patronage dividend to International Users may be subject to tax treaties, currency import or export regulations, or other regulations of either the United States of America or the country of residence of the International User. Each International User is responsible for determining the applicability of any tax or currency exchange regulations and for taking any action necessary to comply with such applicable laws. RSI, in its sole discretion, may choose to retain any patronage dividend in an account for the benefit of the relevant International User, if, in the sole discretion of RSI, payment of such amount would be in violation of U.S. or foreign law.
