Premier Trade Exchange is a paid business-to-business platform. Membership provides contracted services and capacity; it does not by itself guarantee a completed purchase, completed sale, revenue, profit, Cash Conversion, or any particular financial result. Trade credits are contractual accounting units, not legal tender, bank deposits, securities, cryptocurrency, interest-bearing instruments, or guaranteed Cash equivalents.

PART I
FORMATION AND MEMBERSHIP FOUNDATION
The legal relationship between PTE and the Member, activation, services, Member responsibilities, and the architecture of the consolidated agreement.
Article 1
PARTIES AND AGREEMENT
This Master Membership, Schedule and Trade Credit Agreement ("Agreement") is between The RH Group LLC d/b/a Premier Trade Exchange ("Premier Trade Exchange", "PTE", "Exchange", "we", "us", or "our") and the business identified in the applicable Membership Order Form ("Member", "you", or "your"). Each signatory represents that the signatory has authority to bind the relevant party.
Article 2
PURPOSE AND INTEGRATED STRUCTURE
This Agreement is a single integrated contract governing paid Membership Activation, Member Accounts, plan services, Buying and Selling Schedules, Multiplier progression, Trade Credit Accounts, Cash and mixed settlement, Cash Conversion, Membership Fees, Transaction Fees, refunds, suspension, termination, and other membership matters.
When the Membership Order Form or execution record identifies this Consolidated Edition as controlling, it supersedes and replaces the prior standalone documents listed on the cover solely for the same subject matter. It does not replace the separate Marketplace, Transaction and Compliance Agreement, privacy and Cookie notices, electronic consent, earnings disclosure, or a transaction-specific Transaction Confirmation.
Article 3
ACCEPTANCE AND EFFECTIVE DATE
The Agreement becomes effective for a Member when PTE approves the application and the Member signs, electronically accepts, or otherwise validly executes this Agreement and the applicable Membership Order Form, and satisfies the required activation and verification conditions.
Electronic signatures, notices, and records are governed by the separate Electronic Communications, Records and Signature Consent.
Article 4
ORDER OF PRIORITY
If documents conflict, the following order applies unless a later signed document expressly states otherwise:
Applicable mandatory law;
A transaction-specific definitive agreement or accepted Transaction Confirmation;
The Membership Order Form;
This Agreement;
The Marketplace, Transaction and Compliance Agreement;
Other incorporated policies and disclosures;
General website, proposal, catalogue, or marketing content.
A specific term controls a general term concerning the same subject. No oral or informal statement changes the Agreement unless incorporated into an authorized signed record.
Article 5
DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION
Capitalized terms have the meanings stated in this Agreement, the Membership Order Form, the Marketplace, Transaction and Compliance Agreement, or the applicable Transaction Confirmation. "Cash" means government-issued legal tender or cleared bank funds. "Completed Transaction" means a qualifying Transaction that has satisfied the applicable delivery, acceptance, settlement, fee, and non-reversal requirements. "Fee Base" means the value against which an applicable percentage fee is calculated. "Multiplier" means the contractual factor used for prospective capacity, service access, progression, or Trade Credit allocation. "Trade Credit" means a contractual accounting unit recorded in the PTE ledger.
"Including" means including without limitation. Singular includes plural. A reference to writing includes approved electronic records. Headings assist navigation and do not limit interpretation.

Categories;
Products and services;

Partial completion;
Returns;
Refunds;
Reversals;
Disputes;
Duplicate records;
Currency or valuation corrections;
Invalid or sham Transactions;
Approved Change Orders.
Article 25
NO EARNINGS GUARANTEE

CREATION AND ALLOCATION
Only Premier Trade Exchange may create or authorize ledger issuance.

Allocation does not by itself establish Cash value, immediate usability, unrestricted transferability, or Conversion eligibility.

Every allocation must have a traceable ledger reference and supporting authority.
Article 32
MEMBER ACCOUNTS AND LEDGER RECORDS

PTE may maintain holds during disputes, fraud reviews, sanctions reviews, chargebacks, or legal process.
Article 34

A request is not approval and does not guarantee timing, amount, rate, jurisdiction, funding, or completion.
PTE may require proof of the underlying Transaction, ownership, Source of Funds, tax information, beneficiary verification, and compliance approval.
Each approved Conversion requires a Conversion Confirmation.
Unless another signed rate applies, the Conversion Transaction Fee is 10% of the Gross Approved Conversion Amount.
Net Cash Proceeds equal the gross approved amount less the 10% fee, taxes, withholding, bank charges, escrow charges, foreign-exchange costs, outstanding obligations, and other disclosed deductions.
Conversion is complete only after the approved funds are irrevocably released or received.
PTE may reject or delay Conversion when liquidity, compliance, provider, legal, technical, or transaction conditions are not satisfied.
Article 39
FEES AND SETOFF
Members authorize PTE to calculate, invoice, deduct, or collect applicable fees.

A trade-credit Transaction may be taxable even without Cash.
PTE statements are operational records, not individualized tax or accounting advice.

Members remain responsible for authorized users until removal is processed, subject to applicable law.
Article 44
DISCLAIMER AND RISK
PTE does not guarantee that a Member can spend or convert its entire balance immediately.
Availability depends on matching, demand, eligible transactions, compliance, provider capacity, liquidity, law, and Member performance.
Trade credits can be subject to restrictions, disputes, reversals, or loss of utility.
PTE does not provide investment, tax, accounting, banking, or legal advice.
Article 45
LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

The fee applies to the total agreed value, including Cash and trade-credit consideration, unless the Transaction Confirmation states another basis.

It may be invoiced, deducted, collected through escrow, set off, or debited where expressly authorized.
Article 52
SELLING TRANSACTION FEE

The fee applies to total agreed consideration unless otherwise stated.
It is earned at contractual completion.
It is separate from the Conversion Transaction Fee.
Article 53

The standard fee is 10% of the Gross Approved Conversion Amount.
It is deducted before Net Cash Proceeds unless another method is stated.

Access may continue through the paid period unless suspended for breach.
Article 60
ACTIVATION REFUNDS
Unless the Order Form provides a more favorable rule:
Before activation work begins, a paid amount may be refundable less nonrecoverable processing costs.
After onboarding, configuration, verification, customization, document preparation, schedule structuring, or Account activation begins, the Activation Fee is nonrefundable to the extent services have been performed and costs incurred.
If PTE rejects an application for reasons not caused by false information, prohibited activity, sanctions, or Member breach, the unused portion will be refunded after deducting disclosed nonrecoverable costs.
Mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.
Article 61
SUBSCRIPTION AND RENEWAL REFUNDS
Used membership periods are nonrefundable.
A future unused period may be refundable only if the Order Form, law, or written approval provides it.
Renewal disputes must be submitted promptly.
A chargeback does not cancel amounts lawfully owed.
Article 62
TRANSACTION FEE REVERSALS
A fully cancelled Transaction before Completion ordinarily does not earn completion-based fees, but disclosed nonrecoverable administrative or provider costs may remain due.
A partial completion earns fees on the completed Fee Base.
A return, refund, or reversal may produce a proportional fee adjustment where the underlying completed value is reversed.
No fee credit is owed where the refund arises from the requesting Member's breach, fraud, chargeback abuse, or fee circumvention, to the extent lawful.
Adjustments are recorded in the Transaction file.
Article 63
