Terms of Use: The Rules That Keep MachineWorld.biz Reliable

Welcome to MachineWorld.biz, a global B2B machinery platform that connects buyers and suppliers of forming, pressing and fabrication equipment. These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of our website, mobile experience and related services. Please read them carefully. By accessing the platform, registering an account or using any of our features, you agree to be bound by these terms, our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use MachineWorld.biz.

About Our Platform

MachineWorld.biz is an online marketplace and directory. We provide the tools for suppliers to present their companies and machines, and for buyers to search products, view company pages and send Requests for Quotation (RFQs). We are not a manufacturer, seller, broker or agent of the machines listed, and we are not a party to any agreement, negotiation or transaction between buyers and suppliers. Any contract for the purchase, sale, delivery, installation or servicing of a machine is made solely between the users involved.

Eligibility and Business Use

The platform is intended for companies and professionals. By using it, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old, that you have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements, and that you act on behalf of a business or in a professional capacity. If you register on behalf of a company, you confirm that you are authorized to bind that company to these terms.

Registration and Account Security

Some features, such as posting RFQs or adding products, require an account. When you register, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete information, including your company name, email address and phone number, and to keep it updated. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account. Please notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized use. We may require verification steps, such as a security code, to protect the platform from automated abuse.

Responsibilities of Buyers

Buyers agree to use the platform in good faith. Before purchasing any machine, you are responsible for independently verifying the supplier, the technical specifications, pricing, delivery terms, warranties, certifications, safety and legal compliance of the equipment, including import, export and customs requirements. We strongly recommend requesting detailed written quotations, inspecting machines where possible and using secure payment and contract terms.

Responsibilities of Suppliers

Suppliers agree that the company information, product descriptions, images, specifications and any claims they publish are accurate, lawful and not misleading. You must hold the rights to all content you upload, and you must not list products you are not authorized to offer. You are solely responsible for responding to enquiries and RFQs promptly and professionally, for honoring the terms you offer, and for complying with all laws that apply to your products and business, including safety, quality and trade regulations.

Requests for Quotation (RFQs)

RFQs must describe genuine purchasing needs. When you submit an RFQ, you authorize us to share its content and your contact details with relevant suppliers so they can respond. You must not use RFQs to send spam, collect competitor information, advertise unrelated products or make fraudulent requests. We may remove any RFQ that violates these terms.

• Provide false, misleading or fraudulent information, or impersonate any person or company
• Upload content that is unlawful, defamatory, offensive or that infringes the rights of others

By submitting content, you grant MachineWorld.biz a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, reproduce and distribute it on the platform and in connection with promoting the platform, for as long as the content remains available.

Our Intellectual Property

The MachineWorld.biz name, logo, design, layout, software, text and other materials we create are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may view and use the platform for your own business purposes, but you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell or exploit any part of it without our prior written permission. Product names, logos and images belonging to suppliers remain the property of their respective owners.

No Warranty on Listings or Machines

We do not inspect, test, certify or guarantee any machine, supplier or listing. Information on the platform is provided by users and, while we aim for a reliable service, we do not warrant that it is accurate, complete, current or suitable for your needs. Images and specifications may differ from actual products. The platform is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Third-Party Links and Services

The platform may link to supplier websites, social media pages and other third-party services. We do not control or endorse them and are not responsible for their content, products or privacy practices. Your use of those sites is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, MachineWorld.biz and its operators, employees and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data or business opportunities arising from your use of the platform or from any dealings between users. We are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality, delivery or payment of any machine or transaction arranged through the platform. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless MachineWorld.biz and its operators from any claims, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your breach of these terms, your content, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, restrict or terminate your access, remove content or delete your account at any time and without prior notice if we believe you have violated these terms, created risk or legal exposure, or harmed other users. You may stop using the platform and request closure of your account at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, such as intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability and indemnification, will continue to apply.

Fees and Paid Services

Basic access to browse the platform is currently free. If we introduce paid services, such as premium listings or advertising options, we will clearly present the applicable fees and conditions before you agree to them. Unless stated otherwise, fees are non-refundable and exclusive of taxes.

Service Availability

We work to keep MachineWorld.biz available and secure, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. The platform may be unavailable due to maintenance, technical problems or events beyond our reasonable control, such as network failures, power outages, natural disasters or government actions. We are not liable for any resulting delay or loss.

Feedback

We welcome your suggestions to improve the platform. If you send us ideas or feedback, you agree that we may use them freely without obligation or compensation to you.

General Provisions

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will stay in full effect. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it. These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, form the entire agreement between you and MachineWorld.biz regarding the platform. You may not assign your rights under these terms without our consent, while we may assign ours in connection with a business transfer.

Privacy and Cookies

Your use of the platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which explain how we collect, use and protect your information. By using MachineWorld.biz, you acknowledge these policies.

Changes to the Platform and These Terms

We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the platform at any time. We may also update these Terms of Use from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you on the website or by email. Continued use of the platform after changes take effect means you accept the revised terms.
