IV.   Data Storage, Display and Transfer

Though business to consumer e-commerce models get the majority of press, the business to business models represents a large percentage of total e-commerce traffic. PrimusLabs.com has developed a series of interrelated business to business programs that assist growers, shippers, brokers, etc. in getting the maximum return for their investment in safe production practices. PrimusLabs.com  Internet based programs have the capability to store, analyze, display and deliver information (e.g. audit results, microbiological, chemical etc.) designed to optimize their usefulness to buyers and suppliers. These programs not only provide timely delivery of information, but also analyze and display the information in formats customized for various buyers and suppliers. Data destinations within PrimusLabs.com's Internet site are normally reserved for buyers and suppliers of various foods. At the request of a given supplier, data generated from that suppliers various vendors (could growers, packers etc.) are archived under pre-arranged formats within their nested site. When directed by a supplier, PrimusLabs.com will transfer data to specified buyers' nested web sites under formats defined by that buyer. PrimusLabs.com bills for the development and maintenance of the sites as well as for data transfers. Audits or the auditor's client (e.g. grower, shipper, broker, etc.) can request that the data submitted be transferred to a specified buyer's or supplier's nested website. Individual data points will remain resident in the PrimusLabs.com database but will not be compiled into report format or displayed except as requested under a transfer agreement to a specified website. If archiving is desired, a charge based on the current pricing schedule will be applied. In the case of a website developed for the use of the auditor, all connected, relevant data will be displayed in PrimusLabs.com's current format. Contents will include the auditor's biography and a display of, or link to a display of, all audits submitted. A two-tier Internet (public domain)/Intranet ("proprietary domain") is available. By applying to become part of the PrimusLabs.com system, the third party auditor is authorizing PrimusLabs.com to develop an electronic storage site(s) for results of audits, testing, etc., done on behalf of a client. As noted in the preceding paragraph, this site(s) is not a display site and data is not accessible unless transferred (upon authorization of the supplier) to a participating supplier or buyer's site. The auditor automatically agrees to authorize PrimusLabs.com to transfer the data as directed by the supplier (i.e. the auditor's client). When conducting an Independently Contracted Audit, the auditor"s data submission to the PrimusLabs.com website and request to transfer data shall constitute a representation and warranty from the auditor that he has all necessary authorization and power from the grower/shipper of the audited location and/or product, to submit the data to the PrimusLabs.com website pursuant to PrimusLabs.com's standard terms and conditions (including data ownership and use), and to transfer the same to the parties requested. The auditor shall indemnify and hold PrimusLabs.com free and harmless from any loss or liability associated with the receipt, storage or transmission of data from an Independently Contracted Audit.
