This User Agreement (this "Agreement") governs your access to and use of RestaurantBuyouts.com, including any related website, platform, marketplace, listing service, messaging system, member dashboard, content, features, tools, emails, and services offered by RestaurantBuyouts.com, Inc. ("RestaurantBuyouts.com," "Company," "we," "us," or "our").
By accessing, browsing, registering for, posting on, messaging through, or otherwise using RestaurantBuyouts.com, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you may not access or use the platform.
RestaurantBuyouts.com is an online marketplace designed to help users list, browse, and communicate regarding used commercial restaurant equipment and related items.
The platform is intended to facilitate connections between buyers and sellers. RestaurantBuyouts.com does not own, sell, inspect, repair, certify, appraise, transport, store, install, disconnect, remove, deliver, finance, insure, warrant, or guarantee any equipment listed on the platform.
Unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement signed by RestaurantBuyouts.com, all negotiations, inspections, meetings, payment arrangements, pickup arrangements, shipping arrangements, delivery arrangements, documentation, and final transaction decisions are handled directly between the buyer and seller.
RestaurantBuyouts.com provides a platform for users to connect, but RestaurantBuyouts.com is not a party to any transaction between users and does not assume responsibility for any buyer, seller, equipment, listing, communication, inspection, payment, pickup, removal, delivery, shipping, installation, repair, refund, dispute, or completed or failed transaction.
To use certain features of the platform, including posting equipment for sale, saving listings, or messaging other users, you may be required to create an account.
You agree to provide accurate and current registration information, including your name, email address, phone number, and any other required information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
RestaurantBuyouts.com may require email verification before allowing access to certain platform features. Email verification confirms only that the user had access to the email address used during registration. Email verification does not confirm a user's identity, business status, ownership of equipment, authority to sell, financial ability, trustworthiness, location, safety, or the accuracy of any listing, message, representation, or transaction.
You may not create an account using false information, another person's identity, or an email address you are not authorized to use.
Unless RestaurantBuyouts.com expressly provides a separate identity, business, or seller verification feature, users should assume that other users have only completed basic account registration and email verification.
Email verification confirms only that the user had access to the email address used during registration. Email verification does not confirm the user's identity, business status, ownership of equipment, authority to sell, location, trustworthiness, financial ability, safety, or the accuracy of any listing, message, statement, or transaction.
RestaurantBuyouts.com may monitor listings and messages, review submissions, approve or reject content, flag suspicious activity, use moderation tools, or remove users or content from the platform. However, moderation, review, approval, denial, or removal does not mean RestaurantBuyouts.com has verified the identity of any user, inspected any equipment, confirmed ownership, confirmed legal authority to sell, confirmed equipment condition, confirmed equipment safety, confirmed equipment value, approved any transaction, or guaranteed any outcome.
You understand that RestaurantBuyouts.com cannot and does not guarantee who you are communicating with, whether a user is who they claim to be, whether an item exists, whether the seller owns the item, whether the equipment is accurately described, whether the equipment is safe, whether payment will be made, whether an item will be delivered, whether a buyer or seller will perform, or whether any transaction will be completed.
Users who list equipment are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, legality, and truthfulness of their listings.
By submitting a listing, you represent and agree that:
RestaurantBuyouts.com may approve, reject, edit, remove, suspend, or limit any listing at any time and for any reason. Approval of a listing does not mean RestaurantBuyouts.com has verified the equipment, inspected the item, confirmed ownership, confirmed the seller's authority, or endorsed the listing.
RestaurantBuyouts.com may require certain listing confirmations, checkboxes, fields, photos, descriptions, or seller acknowledgments, but those requirements are for platform administration only and do not create any verification, endorsement, inspection, warranty, or guarantee by RestaurantBuyouts.com.
Buyers are solely responsible for evaluating equipment before purchasing. This includes, without limitation, reviewing photos, asking questions, confirming specifications, checking dimensions, reviewing model and serial numbers, inspecting the equipment when practical, and determining whether the equipment is appropriate for the buyer's intended use.
Commercial restaurant equipment may involve electrical, gas, plumbing, refrigeration, ventilation, code, permitting, safety, installation, removal, or transportation requirements. Buyers are responsible for determining whether the equipment is safe, suitable, code-compliant, functional, repairable, installable, clean, complete, and appropriate for their intended location and use.
Buyers should not assume that used equipment includes any warranty, manual, accessories, parts, delivery, installation, service, maintenance history, certification, or compliance documentation unless those items are specifically agreed to by the seller in writing.
Sellers are solely responsible for the equipment they list and the statements they make. Sellers should describe equipment honestly and accurately.
Sellers should disclose whether equipment is working, untested, damaged, incomplete, missing parts, under lien, leased, financed, restricted, previously repaired, disconnected, in storage, or subject to any ownership or transfer limitation.
Sellers are responsible for clarifying whether the buyer is responsible for removal, disconnection, loading, transportation, taxes, insurance, permits, repairs, cleaning, or other costs.
Sellers should confirm that payment has cleared before releasing equipment. Sellers should be cautious of suspicious payment arrangements, overpayment schemes, fake payment confirmations, unusual third-party pickup instructions, or requests to refund excess funds.
RestaurantBuyouts.com strongly encourages buyers to inspect equipment before purchase whenever practical. Photos and descriptions may not show every detail. In-person inspection may help confirm condition, size, configuration, model number, serial number, missing parts, utility requirements, and suitability.
For higher-value equipment or equipment involving electrical, gas, plumbing, refrigeration, ventilation, or installation issues, buyers should consider using a qualified technician, installer, equipment specialist, licensed contractor, or other knowledgeable person.
All inspections are the responsibility of the buyer and seller. RestaurantBuyouts.com does not perform inspections and does not verify the condition, safety, cleanliness, functionality, legality, value, authenticity, suitability, or code compliance of any equipment.
Users are responsible for their own safety when arranging meetings, inspections, pickups, removals, deliveries, or other in-person interactions.
When meeting another user, consider meeting during daylight hours, bringing another person, confirming the address and contact person in advance, and using common sense. If equipment is located at a restaurant, warehouse, storage facility, business, or other commercial location, confirm the location, access, timing, loading conditions, and removal requirements before traveling.
Commercial restaurant equipment can be heavy, difficult to move, and may require professional handling. Buyers and sellers should agree in advance who is responsible for disconnection, removal, loading, transportation, insurance, permits, damage during removal, and damage during delivery.
RestaurantBuyouts.com is not responsible for any injury, loss, damage, theft, property damage, accident, dispute, or claim arising from any meeting, inspection, pickup, removal, loading, shipping, delivery, installation, or transaction.
RestaurantBuyouts.com does not process payments, hold funds, provide escrow, verify payment, guarantee payment, guarantee delivery, or guarantee completion of any transaction unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement signed by RestaurantBuyouts.com.
Users should use caution before sending money, deposits, wire transfers, payment app transfers, gift cards, cryptocurrency, cashier's checks, money orders, or any other form of payment. Be cautious of anyone who pressures you to act immediately, refuses inspection, avoids basic questions, changes payment terms, or requests unusual payment methods.
For higher-value purchases, buyers and sellers should consider using a written bill of sale, invoice, purchase agreement, receipt, or other transaction document that identifies the equipment, price, payment terms, pickup terms, removal terms, delivery terms, condition, and any other agreed terms.
RestaurantBuyouts.com is not responsible for payment disputes, chargebacks, bounced checks, fake confirmations, deposits, refunds, non-delivery, non-payment, or failed transactions.
You understand and agree that buying, selling, inspecting, removing, transporting, installing, repairing, or using used commercial restaurant equipment may involve risk. Equipment may be heavy, defective, incomplete, damaged, unsafe, improperly maintained, incorrectly described, non-compliant with applicable codes, or unsuitable for your intended use.
You voluntarily assume all risks associated with your use of the platform and any communications, meetings, inspections, negotiations, payments, purchases, sales, pickups, removals, transportation, delivery, installation, repair, use, or attempted transaction involving any equipment or other user.
RestaurantBuyouts.com is not responsible for personal injury, death, property damage, financial loss, theft, fraud, payment loss, equipment defects, failed transactions, transportation issues, installation issues, code compliance issues, or disputes between users.
Users should be cautious if a listing appears unusually inexpensive, contains limited information, uses stock photos only, includes inconsistent details, lacks model or serial information, or if the other party refuses to provide additional photos, videos, model information, equipment location, inspection access, or clear transaction terms.
Users should also be cautious if another user tries to move the conversation away from the platform too quickly, asks for payment before basic details are confirmed, pressures immediate action, changes payment or pickup terms at the last minute, claims a third party will handle the transaction without clear documentation, or refuses to answer reasonable questions.
If something does not feel right, you should pause, ask more questions, decline the transaction, or report the listing or user to RestaurantBuyouts.com.
RestaurantBuyouts.com may provide an internal messaging system to allow registered users to communicate regarding listings. Messages may be subject to moderation, review, approval, rejection, archiving, spam filtering, abuse controls, or other platform controls.
You agree not to use the messaging system to send unlawful, threatening, harassing, deceptive, fraudulent, abusive, obscene, defamatory, infringing, spam, or otherwise improper communications.
RestaurantBuyouts.com may review, approve, deny, archive, restrict, or block messages at its discretion. However, message moderation does not mean that RestaurantBuyouts.com verifies the identity, intent, honesty, safety, authority, financial ability, or reliability of any user.
RestaurantBuyouts.com may retain messages and related records for internal, security, compliance, dispute review, legal, or operational purposes.
You agree not to:
RestaurantBuyouts.com reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to monitor, review, moderate, edit, reject, suspend, restrict, remove, or delete any listing, message, account, image, content, or user activity at any time, with or without notice, if RestaurantBuyouts.com believes such action is necessary or appropriate to protect the platform, other users, the public, the integrity of the marketplace, or RestaurantBuyouts.com.
RestaurantBuyouts.com may suspend, restrict, or terminate any user account at any time, with or without notice, for any suspected or actual violation of this Agreement, suspicious activity, misleading information, abusive conduct, fraudulent activity, misuse of the messaging system, unsafe conduct, unlawful activity, repeated complaints, or any conduct RestaurantBuyouts.com determines, in its sole discretion, is inconsistent with the purpose or safe operation of the platform.
RestaurantBuyouts.com is not obligated to monitor all listings, messages, users, or activity. Any moderation, review, approval, rejection, removal, suspension, or account action taken by RestaurantBuyouts.com is for platform administration and risk management only and does not create any duty, responsibility, warranty, verification, guarantee, or liability.
RestaurantBuyouts.com does not endorse any user, seller, buyer, equipment, listing, price, description, message, transaction, business, or third-party service.
Any listing approval, message approval, featured placement, search result, category placement, seller badge, or platform communication does not constitute an endorsement, warranty, guarantee, recommendation, certification, or verification by RestaurantBuyouts.com.

RestaurantBuyouts.com is not responsible for third-party content, services, pricing, practices, errors, omissions, delays, losses, or disputes.
