Trade Facilitation Fee Policy

This Trade Facilitation Fee Policy explains why, when, and how WITTY charges a trade facilitation fee on transactions completed through the WITTY platform.

The policy is designed to ensure transparency, fairness, and trust for both exporters and importers using WITTY to manage, negotiate, and execute trade relationships.

WITTY charges a 2% Trade Facilitation Fee on the total value of transactions completed and managed through the WITTY platform.

This fee applies only when WITTY actively facilitates the transaction, including but not limited to:

• Centralized communication and negotiation
• Deal tracking and lifecycle management
• AI-assisted coordination and execution
• Relationship protection and enforcement
• Trade workflow infrastructure

The fee is not a referral commission and not a brokerage fee.

The 2% Trade Facilitation Fee applies only if all of the following conditions are met:

• The exporter and importer communicate or negotiate via WITTY
• The transaction is managed, tracked, or confirmed within WITTY
• The deal progresses through WITTY's deal stages or workflows
• The transaction is completed as a result of platform-facilitated engagement

If a transaction meets these criteria, it is considered a WITTY-facilitated transaction.

The Trade Facilitation Fee is NOT charged when:

• A deal is completed entirely outside WITTY
• No negotiation, coordination, or execution occurs on the platform
• The transaction predates the relationship being managed in WITTY
• WITTY did not facilitate, track, or accelerate the transaction

WITTY does not charge fees merely for introducing buyers or sellers.

The facilitation fee supports the infrastructure that makes trade smoother, faster, and safer for both sides.

Specifically, the fee funds:

• AI Intelligence (WIZZY) - Deal guidance, detection, enforcement, and optimization
• Relationship Protection - Importer ownership safeguards and anti-poaching enforcement
• Centralized Deal Management - Messaging, RFQs, deal stages, reorder tracking
• Operational Infrastructure - Secure systems, moderation, compliance, and uptime

This ensures WITTY remains a mission-critical trade operating system, not a passive directory.

The fee is calculated as 2% of the total transaction value

• Calculation is based on the agreed deal value between exporter and importer
• Currency conversion (if applicable) follows WITTY's internal reference rates
• The fee may be deducted, invoiced, or settled according to platform rules

WITTY uses a combination of system logic and AI (WIZZY) to detect and classify transactions as platform-facilitated, including:

• Communication patterns
• Deal stage progression
• RFQ and reorder activity
• Behavioral and transactional signals

Attempts to intentionally bypass the facilitation fee after using WITTY to manage or advance a deal may result in enforcement actions.

Users may not:

• Move transactions off-platform to avoid the fee
• Conceal deal completion details
• Misrepresent transaction values
• Use WITTY solely to identify contacts and transact elsewhere

Such actions violate WITTY's Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Use.

The Trade Facilitation Fee is separate from:

• Exporter Operating System subscription fees
• Importer premium upgrades
• Business Growth Program (BGP) fees
• AI credit usage or token-based features

Paying a subscription fee does not exempt a user from the Trade Facilitation Fee where applicable.

WITTY reserves the right to modify this policy at any time.

Any updates will be posted on the website, and continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
