GENERAL TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Modified: July 1, 2020

Mascus operates a global leading online equipment listing service for used heavy machinery and trucks (“Equipment”) where professionals such as Equipment dealers, brokers, manufacturers and private sellers can advertise their Equipment for sale to prospective buyers, post a wanted ad for Equipment (each, an “Advertisement”) or browse other Advertisements for Equipment to buy or sell. Mascus makes trading in Equipment easier and more efficient by making available information about supply and demand all in one place. HOWEVER, WE, OUR AFFILIATES AND OUR LICENSE PARTNERS ARE IN NO WAY INVOLVED IN THE TRANSACTION OR PURCHASE CONTRACT BETWEEN BUYERS AND SELLERS. WE, OUR AFFILIATES AND OUR LICENSE PARTNERS ARE NEUTRAL, AND AN ADVERTISEMENT IS IN NO WAY AN ENDORSEMENT OF THE SELLER OR THEIR EQUIPMENT.

You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your User Account, and you must keep your User Account password secure. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols) with your User Account. You must notify us immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your User Account. We will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your User Account.

If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding improvements, equipment, events and offers; however, opting out will not prevent you from receiving Services-related notices.

      You acknowledge that you do not own the User Account you use to access the Services. You agree that we have the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, transfer, modify and/or eliminate any data stored by us or on our behalf on our (including without limitation on our third party hosting providers’) servers as we see fit in our sole discretion, in any general or specific case, and that, subject to any Product Specific Agreement (as defined below) we will have no liability to you based on our exercise of such right.

As part of your use and interaction with the Services, we will collect data, metadata, content and information, including without limitation unique identifiers, that you provide to us or that is collected by us or via the Services (“User and System Data”). You hereby grant to us, and represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant to us, a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable and royalty-free right and license to collect, use, reproduce, electronically distribute, transmit, have transmitted, perform, display, store, archive, and to modify and make derivative works of any and all User and System Data in order to provide and maintain the Services, including without limitation the making available to you of your User Account History and Content, and, solely in de-identified or aggregate form, to report on and improve our products and Services and for our other business purposes specified in our Privacy Statement (and any and all such data derived therefrom is deemed part of our Intellectual Property).

Upon termination of access for any reason or no reason, you continue to be bound by this Agreement.

   7. Interactions with Other Users. You are solely responsible for your direct interactions with other Users. We will have no liability for your direct interactions with other Users, or for any User’s action or inaction. We are not a party to your transactions with a buyer, seller or third party provider established through the Service. All Advertisement content is supplied by the seller and we do not warrant or guarantee its accuracy or authenticity. We encourage all Users to conduct appropriate checks of the Equipment and sellers prior to purchasing. To assist, we’ve put together some helpful security tips .

   8. Export Control. You are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws and regulations relating to export, re-export and import regulations. You may not use the Services if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States, or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States government or under similar laws or regulations applicable in other jurisdictions.

   9. Additional Terms for Paid Services. Placing an Advertisement to sell or buy Equipment is subject to the additional advertising rules specified in Article 4 (the “ Listing Rules”). If you subscribe for recurring monthly listing Services, you may be required to enter into a separate listing agreement or order form (a “ Listing Agreement”), which when signed, or otherwise agreed to, remains subject to this Agreement, including without limitation, the Listing Rules. In addition to listing services, certain other paid Services, such as access to valuation Services, require those Users to enter into a separate subscription services agreement (a “ Subscription Services Agreement”), which when signed, or otherwise agreed to, incorporates this Agreement. To the extent of a conflict between this Agreement and a Listing Agreement or Subscription Services Agreement (each a “ Product Specific Agreement”), the terms of the Product Specific Agreement will prevail.

2. Listings Data; Permitted Uses; Restrictions

   Advertisements contain and display data, information, images, tradenames, logos and other content relating to the Equipment advertised for sale, including but without limitation descriptions, pricing, and seller contact information (“Listings Data”). Other than Listing Data contained in your Advertisements or subject to the terms of a separate access agreement with us, as a User, you may only access and use Listings Data while available in the format and arrangement we provide through the Services for the following limited purposes: (i) in order to review, compare and assist in you in determining whether to buy the Equipment advertised or similar equipment elsewhere in the market; (ii) to communicate with the seller to inquire about, negotiate or complete the purchase of the Equipment advertised, or (iii) to help you determine whether to sell your own similar Equipment via the Services such as, for example, determining the potential price to charge for your Equipment or the appropriate time to sell (the “Permitted Uses”). With respect to Listings Data, you will not, and you will not permit any third party to, use any Listings Data in any manner or for any purpose other than the Permitted Uses, without our prior express written consent. For clarity, and without limiting the foregoing, the following activities are not permitted:

   1. recording, copying or storing any Listing Data in any manner or for any purpose whatsoever, other than for the Permitted Uses;

   2. directly or indirectly publishing, transmitting or distributing Listings Data, or any derivative works thereof including but not limited to reports or other analyses regarding the secondary equipment market, in any manner for any form of monetary or other valuable consideration; or

   3. incorporating Listing Data in any manner into used equipment pricing tools, dashboards or other visualization products.

3. Our Proprietary Rights

Except as explicitly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to create a license in or under any intellectual property rights, and you agree not to access, sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adapt, edit or create derivative works from any Intellectual Property. Use of Intellectual Property for any purpose not expressly permitted by this Agreement is strictly prohibited.

By submitting any Idea, you agree that your disclosure is gratuitous, unsolicited and without restriction and will not place us under any fiduciary or other obligation, and that we are free to use the Idea without any additional compensation to you, and/or to disclose the Idea on a non-confidential basis or otherwise to anyone. You further acknowledge that, by acceptance of your submission, we do not waive any rights to use similar or related ideas previously known to us, or developed by our employees, or obtained from sources other than you.

4. Listing Rules

   1. Advertisement Duration. Self-listed Advertisements will be published for the length of time you select and pay for when posting your Advertisement. Advertisements created and uploaded by other means will be published for the length of time agreed to in the applicable Listing Agreement. If your Equipment sells, it is your responsibility to remove the Advertisement using the functionality available in your User Account or to notify us so that the Advertisement can be removed.

   2. Advertisement Fees. Fees to publish self-listed Advertisements and any add-on Services are based on the then-current price list made available to you before publication and publication is conditional on payment being made in full by way of our approved means of payment. We use Adyen N.V. as our third-party service provider for payment services. By using the self-list Services, you agree to be bound by any terms of use for the Ayden service as we may make available to you from time to time. Please visit https://www.adyen.com/ for more information. Fees for non-self-listed Advertisements and any add-on Services will be mutually agreed between you and us prior to the first publication of the Advertisements and will be specified in a Listing Agreement, if any. Invoices generated are payable without setoff whatsoever upon receipt by way of our approved means of payment. Subject to Article 4.10, once an Advertisement is published, the associated fees are non-refundable.

   3. Taxes; Interest; Other Costs. All fees payable for Services are exclusive of any applicable sales, use, value added or goods and services taxes, customs duties, withholding taxes or similar levies of any kind, including interest and penalties thereon. If any amount payable is not received by us within thirty (30) days of receipt, we may (i) condition future agreements on shorter or alternate payment terms; and (ii) charge late payment fees or interest at the lower of 12% per annum or the maximum permitted by applicable law. Any judicial and extrajudicial costs of collection for unpaid amounts will be borne by you.

   4. Advertisement Content. Advertisements listed on the Services must: (a) be for Equipment you are authorized or have the power to sell; (b) have accurate Listing Data; (c) fairly represent the condition of the Equipment and not attempt to mislead; (d) only relate to one unit of Equipment and not be a duplicate; (e) only promote the Equipment for sale, not other products or services; (f) not infringe any third party rights, including without limitation intellectual property rights such as patents, copyrights, moral rights, trade secrets, trademarks, service marks, inventions, design rights and any other proprietary rights provided under applicable law in respect of intellectual property; and (g) not contain any discriminatory, offensive or threatening content.

   5. Advertisement Placement. Advertisements may only be created and uploaded through means approved by us. Other than the self-list option available to all User Accounts, Advertisements may be uploaded via: (a) an RB Asset Solutions inventory management system supplied by Mascus International B.V. or a Mascus Affiliate; (b) automated import tools supplied by a License Partner; (c) application programming interfaces (APIs) supplied by one of our partners that either we make available to you or with whom we both have an independent relationship; or (d) any other automated means approved by us in writing. Advertisements of Equipment designated in your RB Asset Solutions inventory management system for listing on the Services will be created by pulling the Listing Data, including using the pictures, Equipment details and contact information, from your system. Due to intervals to index data and safety measures, the contents of Advertisements are not immediately visible online.

   6. Necessary Rights. You represent and warrant that you have acquired and will maintain all necessary rights and permissions to the Listings Data, including any releases or permission from individual seller contacts, to permit creation of your Advertisement, its upload to, and display through, the Services and to grant us the rights to use and otherwise process Listings Data as specified in this Agreement.

   7. Review by Mascus. We have the right, but not obligation, to review each Advertisement for suitability prior to or after publication. If we determine, acting reasonably, that your Advertisement is not suitable or otherwise violates this Agreement, you will be contacted by email. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, without liability, to delay publication or remove from publication any Advertisement that we determine, acting reasonably, is not suitable or otherwise violates this Agreement. If your Advertisement is removed prior to publication, you will be entitled to a refund of the fees paid for such Advertisement so long as removal was not due to your fraudulent, deceptive or unlawful conduct.

   8. License to Use. When creating or uploading Advertisements, You hereby grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable and royalty-free right and license to collect, use, reproduce, distribute, transmit, perform, display, store, archive, and to modify and make derivative works of any and all Listings Data associated with your Advertisements in order to provide, maintain, secure and improve the Services, including without limitation to market and promote your Advertisements using such layouts and user interfaces for the Services as we determine appropriate in our sole discretion, to prohibit or permit use and access by other Users of the Listing Data in accordance with the Agreement, and in de-identified or aggregate form, to develop and support our products and services and for our other business purposes (and any and all such data derived therefrom is deemed part of our Intellectual Property).

   9. Advertising on Other Channels. You acknowledge and agree that as part of the Services we may provide third parties with access to all or part of an Advertisement for publicity purposes allowing the third party to promote the Advertisement in combination with other ads on third party websites, via email or other advertising channels or mediums.

   10. Waiver of Statutory Reflection Period. While the Services are not designed for personal, family or household use, we acknowledge that in certain jurisdictions, private seller Users may be entitled to certain statutory rights when self-listing Advertisements. Such self-listing private seller Users hereby acknowledges that by submitting an Advertisement for publication, the User expressly agrees to commencement of the contract for Services immediately and thereby waives any statutory cooling-off or reflection period the User may have been entitled to. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should a private seller User wish to cancel a self-listed Advertisement prior to the selected expiry date and receive a prorated refund, the User may submit a request in writing to us containing the following information:

       Model Cancellation Form

       To: Mascus International BV
       Bijster 3

   11. Non-Mascus Applications. APIs and other approved automated means supplied by one of our partners (“Non-Mascus Applications”) are made available for use by their respective providers and may be subject to their own terms and conditions. If the provider ceases to make the Non-Mascus Applications available for interoperation with the Services or does so on terms we deem to be unreasonable (i.e. cancels service, uses old integration methods or inadequate security protocols), we may modify, suspend or cease providing such interoperability with features of the Services. You will not be entitled to any refund, credit or other compensation. In such case, if such alteration, suspension or cessation is not acceptable to you, then your sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate your agreement with us for Services.
       
       UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXTRAORDINARY, EXEMPLARY OR OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER THAT RESULT FROM USAGE OF ANY NON-MASCUS APPLICATIONS OR YOUR CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH ANY PROVIDER OF A NON-MASCUS APPLICATION.

   12. Force Majeure. We (and the Mascus Listing Provider, if not us), will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform the paid Services resulting from any cause beyond its reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”), including but not limited to fires, explosions, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, industry-wide strikes, work stoppages or slow-downs or other industrial disputes, accidents, riots or civil disturbances, acts of civil or military authorities, interruption of electricity, Internet, or means of telecommunication, and your or any third-party applications or systems. Any time periods for the performance of its obligations are automatically extended for the duration of the Force Majeure Event, provided that you receive prompt notice in writing and we (or the Mascus Listing Provider, if not us) use(s) all commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as possible.

We do not warrant that the Mobile Applications will be compatible with your mobile device. You may use mobile data in connection with the Mobile Applications and may incur additional charges from your wireless provider for these services. You agree that you are solely responsible for any such charges. We hereby grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use a compiled code copy of the Mobile Applications on one or more mobile devices owned or leased solely by you, solely for your personal use.

You understand that by using the Services we will collect and process your personal information and aggregate and/or anonymized data as set forth in our Privacy Statement . In certain regions of the world, some of our paid-Services are sold through License Partners with whom we’ve entered into contractual arrangements. Information processed by License Partners is governed by our contractual arrangements and their respective privacy policies. In other regions, some of our paid Services are sold by Mascus Affiliates (who are part of our corporate family with whom we may also have contractual arrangements). We and they also use third party service providers to perform functions in connection with the Services. Pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, we rely on a variety of measures to support the lawful transfer of or access to your information in regions outside of Europe. We also use contractual and technological means to limit processing of information to only what is needed to deliver the Services. Where you engage with a third party seller or buyer in relation to an Advertisement or request the services of a third party directly through the Services (such as accessories, transport or financing) we will transfer your information to that third party for that purpose in accordance with your engagement or request. You also acknowledge and agree that by including your email address and other contact information in an Advertisement, you are making such information publicly available so that interested Users can contact you. In addition, by using the messaging and contact features, you acknowledge that we may collect and store such communications as part of User and System Data.

7. Security

   We care about the integrity and security of the information we handle. We have implemented and follow an information security policy, including physical, managerial and technical safeguards deemed appropriate by us in our sole direction, designed to preserve the integrity and security of that information. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or use your information for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide your information at your own risk. As mentioned above, review our helpful security tips to help protect yourself online.

8. Disclaimer of Third-Party Links and Materials
