Cleverbridge

an enterprise merchant of record whose own legal terms won't open as text.

the mor claim is on the marketing page, the document that would prove it is a pdf we couldn't parse, and the price is a conversation.

cleverbridge describes itself plainly enough — 'as the merchant of record, cleverbridge acts as your digital reseller and takes a small cut of each transaction' — and has operated at enterprise scale from chicago and cologne for years.

the underlying legal document, its merchant-of-record solution-specific terms, is publicly hosted but returned as unparseable binary rather than readable text, so the actual liability clause, indemnity and tax-handling obligations could not be confirmed. that's an unusual position: the contract is nominally public and functionally unreadable.

the mor claim is on the marketing page, the document that would prove it is a pdf we couldn't parse, and the price is a conversation.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
