What does it cost to sign up for OOJEE?
Signing up to become a registered buyer on OOJEE is free of
charge. It does not necessitate any purchasing. OOJEE reserves
the right, however, to charge a subscription fee at a later
date, but any such change would be notified in advance allowing

the products. Such a survey will help the producer market its

auctions, OOJEE charges the producer a fixed 2% fee of
the sold value.

your purchase history and product invoices. From Your Page
you can access the various detailed information, product catalogues
and auctions, lookup previous invoices, statistics, etc. You
can view all this information on the screen or print it out
on your printer.

Confidentiality
What does OOJEE do with the information regarding my company? Do
the producers or the other buyers have access to my profile
(or data)?
The identity of the buyers is never revealed to other buyers.
Neither is it revealed to producers except with a specific
prior consent of the buyer, for example in order to help build
a long-lasting business relationship through OOJEE between
the buyer and their producers. Logistic information for a specific
product-lot names OOJEE as the buyer from the producers for
the import procedures.
The information concerning your company is used by OOJEE
to serve you the best possible way.
