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.

rules specified in Article 4 (the “Listing Rules”).

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.

purposes: (i) in order to review, compare and assist in you in
determining whether to buy the Equipment advertised or similar

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

Listing Rules
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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).
-
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.
-
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

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.

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”),

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.

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

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 may not: (i) modify, disassemble,
decompile or reverse engineer the Mobile Applications, except to

Agreement will apply to all such upgrades. Any third-party code
that may be incorporated in the Mobile Applications is covered by
the applicable open source or third-party license terms, if any,
authorizing use of such code. The foregoing license grant is not a
sale of the Mobile Applications or any copy thereof, and we or our
third-party partners or suppliers retain all right, title, and
interest in the Mobile Applications (and any copy thereof). Any
attempt by you to transfer any of the rights, duties or obligations
hereunder, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, is
void. We reserve all rights not expressly granted under this
Agreement. If the Mobile Applications are being acquired on behalf
of the United States Government, then the following provision
applies. The Mobile Applications will be deemed to be “commercial
computer software” and “commercial computer software
documentation,” respectively, pursuant to DFAR Section
227.7202 and FAR Section 12.212, as applicable. Any use,
reproduction, release, performance, display or disclosure of the
Services and any accompanying documentation by the U.S. Government
will be governed solely by this Agreement and is prohibited except
to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement. The Mobile
Applications are subject to United States export laws and
regulations. The Mobile Applications may not be exported or
re-exported to certain countries or those persons or entities
prohibited from receiving exports from the United States. In
addition, the Mobile Applications may be subject to the import and

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.
