Service scope, fees, liability and dispute resolution for buyers and sellers.

Last updated: 2026-08-01

1. Services

MachYard provides listing and marketing of equipment, independent inspections, transaction handling with escrow, transport coordination and after-sale support in connection with the return window.

2. Fees

Seller fees consist of an inspection fee and a success commission agreed in the seller mandate. Buyer fees, where applicable, are shown transparently before an offer is submitted. Fees are due on completion of the transaction.

3. Seller obligations

Sellers warrant that they own the machine free of third-party rights and financing, that hour readings and documents are genuine, and that access for inspection and collection will be granted within the agreed period.

4. Buyer obligations

Buyers warrant that they act as a business, that funds are of legal origin, and that the machine will not be re-exported in breach of applicable sanctions or export-control law.

5. Liability

Our liability is limited to the fees received for the relevant transaction, except for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, personal injury, or liability that cannot be limited by law. We are not liable for indirect damage such as loss of profit, production downtime or contractual penalties.

6. Changes

We may amend these terms with 30 days' notice by email or in-platform notification. Continued use after the notice period constitutes acceptance.

7. Disputes

Please contact legal@machyard.example first — most disputes are resolved directly. Otherwise Swiss law applies and the courts of Zug, Switzerland have exclusive jurisdiction.

Why MachYard

Used iron, bought with new-machine certainty

Fully inspected machines

Every listing is checked on site by our technicians: 200+ photos, walkaround video and a functional test report you can read before you bid.

Delivered to your jobsite

We arrange loading, customs paperwork and transport. Our calculator estimates freight up front and we carry the risk in transit.

5-day money-back window

Put the machine to work. If it doesn't match the inspection report, send it back within five days and we refund the full amount.

Pay on delivery

Approved buyers pay once the machine reaches the yard. No deposit, no escrow paperwork, no wire before the wheels arrive.

Easy & safe transactions

Buy heavy equipment as easily as a car

From inspection to payment, every step is designed to remove the risk from buying and selling used machinery across borders.

01

Inspect before you buy

Every machine gets a 200-point inspection report, walkaround video and live video call so you know exactly what you are paying for.

02

Pay on delivery

No deposits or escrow. Approved buyers pay once the machine is unloaded at their yard. We handle the invoice, VAT and export paperwork.

03

Protected after arrival

Run it for five working days. If anything deviates from the report, we arrange collection and refund the full purchase price.
