13. The Parties’ respective roles and liabilities

13.1. MSM expressly points out, that it only gives Users the opportunity to offer their machines for sale on the Platform. MSM is therefore neither a provider, buyer or seller of the services offered by its User or Advertisers, nor their representatives, employees or co-entrepreneurs. MSM merely offers Users the opportunity to contact each other and to conclude transactions via the online Platform myscrapmachine.com.

13.2. Consequently, by signing in to the Platform’s services, the User and/ or Advertiser agree explicitly that any agreement concluded in the wake of an advertisement placed on the Platform is established without involving MSM legally in any way. Thus, as the operator of the Website, MSM does not own the machines covered by the advertisements and that it does not sell, resell, provide, control or manage them. The Advertiser is solely liable for the content of its advertisements.

13.3. Under no circumstances can MSM be considered a party to any transaction carried out through the Platform. Therefore, MSM is not involved in the performance of the contract concluded between these two parties and cannot be held responsible for any breach or non-fulfilment of the obligations of the contracting parties or any resulting warranty or liability claims.

13.4. The Advertiser is solely responsible for compliance with all mandatory legal and regulatory requirements relating to its activity and the goods offered, including (i) all legal and regulatory requirements regarding safety, health, compliance, conformity, harmlessness, toxicity, transport, storage and warehousing, product liability, (ii) all legal and regulatory requirements relating to the production, distribution, marketing, advertising and sale of the products, (iii) all relevant provisions of contractual law or precontractual information duties, (iv) all relevant data protection provisions in relation to possible prospective buyers and contracting parties.

13.5. It is agreed by the Parties that the Products offered via the Platform are under User’s /Advertiser’s sole responsibility, who shall indemnify and hold MSM harmless from any and all damages, direct or indirect, consequential, foreseeable or otherwise, caused by the offering for sale, placing on the market, commercialisation, defective or incorrect use of all or part of the Products offered via the Platform

13.6. MSM takes every care to make available advertisements for reliable equipment that are regularly updated to Users on the Website. However, it cannot be held responsible if errors have crept into the content of the advertisement or if the equipment is no longer available at the time the User views the advertisement. The advertisement does not constitute an offer in the legal sense of the term. Therefore, before making any decision concerning a machine (purchase, rental, etc.), MSM recommends obtaining confirmation directly from the Advertiser that it is still relevant, and that the information contained therein is accurate and up to date, especially regarding the asking price.

13.7. MSM does not assume any liability and does not verify or systematically verify (i) the truthfulness of the information and the identity of the Users; (ii) the compliance with the rules for the use of our Platform; (iii) the compliance with existing legal provisions or the orders of judicial bodies or other authorities by the Users.

Insofar as the facts described by you are not clear, comprehensible or complete for us, MSM reserves the right to ask Users for further details. Please understand that in this case the processing of the User’s complaint may take a little longer.
