This platform provides an English auction type service (“Service”) for enabling sales of non-contractual pulp lots to wide range of potential customers. Participants taking part in the Service (“Participants”) become eligible through an online auction, while each actual transaction will be separately agreed and finalized separately between Metsä Fibre and the selected buyer.
In order to take part in the auctions, Participants are required to register at the following website www.pulpexchange.com.
Participants will be required to submit certain information relevant to the Service and to confirm that they have read and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. Metsä Fibre will use the submitted personal information always in accordance with the Privacy Policy. All Participants must select a password to allow their access to the website.
A Participant may end his or her participation on the website at any time by sending a notification thereof to Metsä Fibre with our Contact Form.
In the event that Metsä Fibre legitimately has doubts about a Participant’s credibility, Metsä Fibre may request additional information to reconcile such doubts. Further, if the Participant is not the end user of the pulp, then Metsä Fibre may require the Participant to disclose the end user or potential end users.
Auction is supported by a user-friendly bidding procedure. If you are bidding as a business entity, you represent that you have the authority to legally bind such entity.
Metsä Fibre will not accept bids and transactions which:
Participants acknowledge that the auction constitutes merely a non-binding and preliminary platform for negotiating the actual transaction and that, notwithstanding anything contrary contained in these Terms of Use or communicated to the Participants, NO agreement or contract, other than these Terms of Use, can be deemed created between users and Metsä Fibre based on any activity via the Site.

The above assumptions shall be applied to any possibly concluded transaction in accordance with Section 4.3 (Transactions) below, unless otherwise expressly agreed by Metsä Fibre.
Upon succeeding in bidding and winning an auction on the Service, the Participant may separately discuss the terms and conditions of a possible pulp sale.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Metsä Fibre shall at all times be entitled to freely choose and designate its customers. Winning a bid on the Service does not in itself entitle a Participant to enter into a transaction with Metsä Fibre.
