ForgeFinder.com Announces New Buyer Agreement

        ForgeFinder.com, the first and only e-commerce marketplace dedicated to the forged metals industry, today announced that it has adopted a new, simplified Buyer Agreement.

        Our new Buyer Agreement’s most significant feature is that the $100 “quoting only” fee for registered buyers, which has been in place since the Site launched over one year ago, has been eliminated. The Company has taken the step of removing this fee as a result of the fact that currently registered buyers have proven that they can use the Site efficiently, and are not prone to placing excessive numbers of RFQs when they are simply seeking to obtain price quotes from forge shops. Forging buyers seeking to obtain prices for “quoting only” purposes will still be requested to advise forge shops of this fact in their active RFQs.

        The new Buyer Agreement has also been shortened in length to two (2) pages, and as such, much of the complex legal language has been removed.

        A complete copy of the new Buyer Agreement can be obtained by clicking on this link: ForgeFinder Buyer Agreement.
