Terms of Use

Purpose and scope

BAAS supports institutional equipment sourcing and related services across the sectors presented in its catalogue. The role and scope of BAAS in a proposed transaction are defined in the relevant written proposal or agreement. Enquiries concerning restricted equipment must be made on behalf of a legally eligible organisation and an authorised end user. Visitors must use the site lawfully and act within their authority.

Enquiries, quotations and contracts

A product listing, download or enquiry supports evaluation; a supply commitment requires separately agreed written quotation, order or contract documents. Those documents specify the parties, scope, quantities, configuration, price validity, taxes, payment, delivery, acceptance, warranty and support. Downloading or filling in the requirements checklist does not automatically send it to BAAS. Submission is a separate action. These website terms do not replace transaction documents or waive mandatory requirements.

Specifications, documents and visuals

Catalogue descriptions and PDFs support initial evaluation. Confirm the current specification, configuration, availability and suitability with BAAS before relying on them for procurement. Illustrative or AI-generated visuals may differ from the supplied configuration. Marketing sheets are not installation, operating or safety instructions.

Trade restrictions and end use

Activities relating to a proposed transaction are subject to applicable classification, export, import, transit, sanctions, end-user and end-use requirements, including brokering, technical assistance or re-export where relevant. Applicable licences and approvals must cover the activity at the required stage. Parties must provide accurate information and comply with any onward-transfer conditions. Concealing required facts or seeking to bypass controls is prohibited. Material changes require reassessment before the affected activity proceeds.

Intellectual property and downloads

Rights in BAAS original content, branding and website design are reserved. Third-party rights remain with their owners. You may view, print and share permitted materials internally for a lawful business evaluation, retaining notices and restrictions. Republishing, reselling, rebranding or otherwise exploiting materials requires permission from the relevant rights holder. Access or download does not transfer ownership or grant a manufacturing licence.

Acceptable use and security

Do not misuse enquiry tools, impersonate others, submit malicious content, overload services, gain unauthorised access or bypass security or download restrictions. Automated extraction that circumvents restrictions, disrupts the site or republishes protected materials without permission is prohibited. BAAS may restrict abusive access to protect the service and other users.

Information you submit

Submit accurate information that you are authorised to share, limited to what the enquiry needs. Business representatives’ names and contact details may be personal data. Do not submit classified information through the public site or chat. Agree a suitable channel and any necessary confidentiality or transfer arrangements before sending sensitive documents. An enquiry or ordinary email does not itself create a non-disclosure agreement or anonymous reporting channel. These terms are not consent to unrelated marketing or unrestricted data use.

Ask BAAS and automated answers

Ask BAAS provides automated assistance with discovery and general enquiries. Answers may be incomplete or inaccurate and are not binding quotations, verified specifications, regulatory approvals or engineering advice. Confirm material points with BAAS and the applicable documentation. Consult the separate Ask BAAS privacy notice before using that feature.

Website privacy

External links and third-party material

External resources and third-party materials may have their own terms, ownership and restrictions. References identify relevant information; the scope of any representation or commercial relationship is established in the applicable written documents. Reuse requires the relevant rights and permissions. Report a rights concern to BAAS with the page or document reference so it can be assessed.

Availability, reliance and legal rights

The website may be updated, corrected or temporarily interrupted. BAAS does not promise uninterrupted or error-free access; confirm information important to a purchasing decision. These terms do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limit mandatory rights. Liability and remedies relating to an actual supply are addressed in the applicable transaction documents, subject to law.

Updates to these terms

The version and date above identify these terms. Changes take effect for future use from the stated effective date; they do not retrospectively alter an agreed supply contract. Save a copy of the version relevant to your enquiry. If a provision cannot be enforced, the remaining provisions apply to the extent permitted by law. No provision removes rights or remedies that applicable law makes mandatory.

Applicable requirements and contact

Use of the site remains subject to applicable law and mandatory rights. The governing law and dispute arrangements for a supply transaction should be specified in its agreed documents, subject to mandatory legal requirements.
