Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions govern access to and use of FOHAccess (fohaccess.com), our B2B Transactions Portal (the “Portal”), by authorized Dealers of Front of the House® and room360® products, collectively referred to as FOH® Worldwide, which includes FOH® and its subsidiaries (FOH Europe B.V.).
The Portal provides Dealers with online visibility into their purchase orders, invoices, shipments, credit status, and payment history with FOH® Worldwide. These Terms apply in addition to, and do not replace, the FOH® Worldwide general Terms and Conditions of Sale, which continue to govern the underlying transactions displayed in the Portal.
Purpose and Scope
The Portal is made available to authorized Dealers for the purpose of reviewing account and transaction information, including but not limited to purchase order status, invoice history, shipment and delivery status, credit terms and balances, and payment records. The Portal is an informational and account-management tool. It does not itself create, modify, or replace any contractual terms governing a sale, which remain subject to the applicable purchase order, invoice, and the FOH® Worldwide Terms and Conditions of Sale.
Account Access and Security
Access to the Portal is granted only to authorized Dealer personnel through individually assigned login credentials.
- Dealers are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and for all activity occurring under their account.
- Credentials may not be shared, sold, transferred, or used by anyone other than the authorized user to whom they were issued.
- Dealers must notify FOH® Customer Service promptly of any suspected unauthorized access or use of their account.
- FOH® reserves the right to suspend or terminate Portal access for any account showing suspicious activity, misuse, or a violation of these Terms.
Accuracy of Portal Data
Information displayed in the Portal, including order status, pricing, invoice balances, and shipment tracking, is provided for reference and convenience. While FOH® Worldwide takes reasonable steps to keep this information current, the Portal data is not a substitute for official FOH® Worldwide documentation. In the event of any discrepancy between information shown in the Portal and the corresponding purchase order, invoice, or shipping document, the official FOH® Worldwide record shall govern.
Permitted Use
The Portal may be used solely for the Dealer’s own account management and business purposes. Dealers agree not to:

- Interfere with or disrupt the operation, security, or integrity of the Portal.
- Use the Portal for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.
Confidentiality of Transaction Data
Transaction, pricing, and account information made available through the Portal is confidential to the Dealer’s account and to FOH® Worldwide. Dealers agree not to disclose Portal data to third parties except as required for their own internal business operations, or as otherwise agreed in writing with FOH® Worldwide.
Availability and Maintenance
FOH® Worldwide will make reasonable efforts to keep the Portal available, but does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.
