IronPlanet’s Relationship to Users. In the Auctions, IronPlanet is not a party to any transaction
relating to Equipment and IronPlanet is only a venue for registered Sellers to list Equipment and
for registered Buyers to make bids on such Equipment. Any agreements reached by and between
Buyers, Sellers and third parties (including third party transportation carriers) are solely
between such Buyers, Sellers and third parties. IronPlanet does not make any representations or
warranties that it has title to or possesses Equipment listed on the Site.

release IronPlanet (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries and employees) from claims,
demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown,
suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with
such disputes. If you are a California resident, you expressly waive any rights you may have under
California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the
creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which
if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”



Information Control. IronPlanet cannot control the information or other User Content provided by
users which is made available through the Services. Users may find other users’ information to be
offensive, harmful, inaccurate or deceptive. Please use caution and common sense when using the

on Equipment that you are selling, by communicating with other Buyers and Sellers, or by shill
bidding.

6









 







herein as “Buyers”), you are obligated to complete the transaction with the Seller unless the
transaction is prohibited by law or regulation or by this Agreement. Bidders agree that bidding on
the IronPlanet Site is the legal equivalent of a firm purchase order.



Notification of Assignment of Rights. IronPlanet hereby notifies prospective bidders/Buyers that
the consigners of certain pieces of Equipment have assigned to a qualified intermediary their

deferred Like-Kind Exchange under section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and the applicable regulations.



Void Bids. IronPlanet reserves the right to reject or void bids, whether winning or not, which it

prohibited by any applicable law, restriction or regulation.



Winning Bids. IronPlanet is the one and only judge for the determination of winning bids (“Final
Sale Price” or “Final Selling Price”), but IronPlanet shall not be liable for any errors or
omissions relating to such determination, whether by IronPlanet or some other person.



Postponement and Cancellation. IronPlanet reserves the right to postpone or cancel any Featured
Auction or Daily Auction, or any sale resulting there from, in its own discretion, without notice.

diesel-fueled vehicles 25 horsepower and up that were not designed to be driven on-road: “When

Board In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicle Regulation. It therefore could be subject to retrofit or

please visit the California Air Resources Board website at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/ordiesel/ordiesel.htm.”

are located at http://www.ironplanet.com/buy/buy_fees.jsp and hereby incorporated by reference.
IronPlanet may change its fees, payments and commissions from time to time, in its sole discretion,
with or without notice to you, but no such change shall apply retroactively to Equipment already
listed for an Auction at the time of such change.




V. Completion of Transactions



Liability for Equipment. The Equipment shall be and remain at the risk of the Seller (and not
IronPlanet) until the Equipment is removed from the posted Equipment location by the Buyer or the
Buyer’s designated transportation provider. The Equipment shall be and remain at the risk of the
Buyer and/or the Buyer’s designated transportation provider (and not IronPlanet) while in
transport. The Equipment shall be and remain at the risk of the Buyer once delivered to the
designated location.



Sales and Use Tax. All bids and offers must be net of any taxes imposed with respect to the sale or
purchase transaction. Buyers are liable for all such taxes or for establishing to IronPlanet’s
satisfaction on behalf of the Seller a valid exemption certificate from such taxes. Buyers and
Sellers acknowledge and agree that IronPlanet is providing a service in the calculation, reporting
and remittance of sales or use taxes which may be assessed, due or owing to the taxing authorities
of any taxing jurisdiction for transactions that arise in connection with your use of the Service.
Without limitation to the disclaimer of warranties in Section VII, IronPlanet expressly disclaims
all warranties of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, with respect the Services, including
without limitation, that IronPlanet’s calculation, reporting or remittance of sales or use tax
shall be timely or error free, or that defects will be corrected. Each Buyer shall indemnify
IronPlanet against any tax, cost or expense relating to the failure of the Buyer to satisfy any
sales or use tax liability related to a transaction within their jurisdiction. Each Seller shall
indemnify IronPlanet against any tax, cost or expense relating to the failure of the Seller to
satisfy any sales or use tax liability related to a transaction within their jurisdiction.



Transaction Fee. All equipment purchased through IronPlanet is subject to a Transaction Fee on each
unit which is to be paid by the Buyer. The Transaction Fees are located at
http://www.ironplanet.com/buy/buy_fees.jsp and are hereby incorporated for reference. All fees,
including this Transaction Fee, must be paid prior to releasing any Equipment for pick-up or
transport.



Payment and Payment Schedule. Full payment from the winning bidder in the amount of the Final
Selling Price, applicable sales tax and the Transaction Fee must post to a secure payment account
designated by IronPlanet within three (3) business






7









 







days after the close of the Auction for the piece of Equipment. Buyers from the United States must
send payments via wire transfer or certified bank check. Buyers from outside the United States
must send all payments via wire transfer.



Buyer Default. If, after five (5) business days (a business day being defined as Monday-Friday,
excluding U.S. Federal holidays) after the close of the Auction for the piece of Equipment, the
Buyer does not make full payment in accordance with the payment schedule and terms set forth above,
the Buyer is considered in default and shall be subject to a Default Penalty which is set forth on
the IronPlanet Site at http://www.ironplanet.com/buy/buy_fees.jsp. In addition, the Buyer will be
barred from further use of the IronPlanet Site until the Default Penalty is paid.



Buyer Removal of Equipment. Buyers are responsible for loading and shipping the Equipment for
transportation, unless otherwise noted in the Equipment listing. Seller agrees to have the
Equipment available for transportation, complete with ignition key, to the Buyer no later than one
(1) business day after the conclusion of the auction for the piece of Equipment. Buyer may remove
the Equipment from the Seller’s location once the Final Sales Price (and any applicable sales tax
and the Transaction Fee) has been received by and posted to a secure payment account designated by
IronPlanet. If a Buyer has not removed the Equipment from the Seller’s location within eight (8)
business days after the close of the Auction for the piece of Equipment, the Buyer will be
responsible for directly paying the Seller any and all storage fees if levied by the Seller.



Notice to Buyer: IronPlanet is a California registered and bonded (#70259768) auction
company. Seller, consistent with California law, may deem Buyer’s failure to claim property within
thirty (30) days following a final sales transaction to be evidence of Buyer’s intent to abandon
the property. Where Buyer fails to claim property within thirty (30) days following a final sales
transaction, Seller may take action that is adverse to Buyer’s interest in the property, including
but not limited to any appropriate steps under California law to dispose of the property through
IronPlanet which will remit proceeds to the abandoning Buyer, net of actual and reasonable costs
(“Net Proceeds”) and an IronPlanet commission equal to twenty-five (25%) percent of Net Proceeds.



Freight, Transportation and Export. The Buyer is responsible for all freight, shipping and other
costs related to transporting the Equipment from the posted Equipment location to its final
destination. These costs include but are not limited to dismantling, special handling,
transportation costs and any certificates, and/or permits required to move the Equipment within or
across borders. Buyers are advised to have all such certificates and permits issued and completed
prior to transporting the equipment; otherwise Buyers may be subject to cleaning, permit, and/or
other fees if the Equipment is stopped and held at a Port of Entry to a state, province or country.
Buyers that plan to export equipment through US Customs should engage the services of a US
forwarding agent to prepare documents that are required by US Custom Control. These documents may
include a power of attorney that authorizes a forwarding agent to complete the necessary Shipper
Export Declaration (SED) and filing the AES record. IronPlanet can provide equipment invoices or a
notarized Bill of Sale to facilitate Buyer exports. IronPlanet cannot provide Manufacturing
Statement of Origins (MSO’s) on used equipment bought from our website nor can we be held
responsible for lack of manufactures identifying numbers, engine or serial numbers. Buyers may
arrange transportation of Equipment for domestic US destinations on the IronPlanet website through
one of our referral third party transportation carriers. However, IronPlanet will not be liable for
any acts or omissions arising from such third party transportation and claims no responsibility for
the actions of any transportation provider. Buyers may not transport the Equipment until full
payment (including any applicable sales tax and the Transaction Fee) has been received by and
cleared by IronPlanet’s designated bank.



Constructive Receipt. Once Constructive Receipt has occurred for any given piece of Equipment,
remittance of proceeds to the Seller may occur. Any dispute claims filed by the Buyer under
protection of IronPlanet’s IronClad Assurance (“Dispute Claims”) after Constructive Receipt has
occurred are invalid, as set forth in Section VI. “Construction Receipt” of Equipment occurs at the
first occurrence of any of the following milestones (unless a Dispute Claim has been previously
filed by the Buyer), provided full payment has been received by IronPlanet for the Equipment.



a) At the time the Equipment leaves the point of pick-up at the Seller’s location, if Buyer elects
to transport the Equipment themselves from the Seller’s location rather than use a common carrier.
Buyers transporting the Equipment themselves are encouraged to examine the Equipment thoroughly
prior to removing it from the Seller’s location.



b) At the time the Equipment leaves the point of pick-up by Buyer or Buyer’s agent or
representative at the Seller’s location if Equipment is self-transporting, such as a truck. Buyers
of self-transporting Equipment are encouraged to examine the Equipment thoroughly prior to removing
it from the Seller’s location.



c) Ten (10) business days after the conclusion of the Auction for the Equipment.



d) Twenty-four (24) hours after delivery of the Equipment to the Buyer’s designated location, if
purchased Equipment is sold from the United States or Canada and is subsequently delivered within
the United States or Canada. (If the expiration of the 24-hour period falls on a Saturday, Sunday
or a United States Federal Holiday, Constructive Receipt on the basis of the passing of this
milestone will not occur until the sooner of a) the first non-weekend day or b) the first
non-Federal Holiday). If






8









 







purchased Equipment is sold from the United States or Canada and is subsequently to be delivered
outside the continental United States or Canada, Constructive Receipt on the basis of the passing
of this milestone will occur twenty-four (24) hours after Equipment delivery to the United States
or Canadian Port of Export. Any dispute claims must be initiated and settled prior to export. Once
equipment is exported outside the continental United States or Cabada, the Buyer waives all Dispute
Claims and the IronClad Assurance will not apply.



e) At the time Buyer or Buyer’s agent or representative begins disassembly of Equipment from its
as-inspected configuration, including disassembly for transport.



Remittance of Proceeds to Seller. IronPlanet shall remit the Final Sale Price less any commission
or fees as set forth in the IronPlanet Site located at http://www.ironplanet.com/sell/fees.jsp to
Seller for such Equipment within fifteen (15) business days after the date of sale. Payments by
IronPlanet will be made by either electronic wire transfer or check (subject to additional fees for
overnight courier).



Ownership Certification, Verification and Lien Searches. At the time of listing Equipment, Sellers
are responsible to make full representation and disclosure for all liens, adverse claims and other
title encumbrances and third party interests that may exist on their Equipment to IronPlanet in
writing. Further, the Seller unconditionally gives IronPlanet authorization to contact and verify
with their creditors all outstanding encumbrance balances that may affect or compromise the
assignment of the Equipment to a new Buyer.



If the Seller fails to remove any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim on or to any Equipment sold or
fails to perform or comply with any other of its obligations under this Agreement IronPlanet will
remove such lien, encumbrance or adverse claim using the Seller net proceeds. If the Sellers net
proceeds are insufficient to discharge creditor claims on the Equipment the Seller is fully
responsible for paying the outstanding debt balance immediately. IronPlanet at its sole discretion
and prior to Equipment auction may ask the Seller for additional funds to repay their creditor
obligations when Seller net proceeds are not estimated to be sufficient to extinguish the Seller
obligation.



The Seller shall pay IronPlanet upon demand all of IronPlanet’s expenses and payments incurred in
connection with any removal of any liens or the performance thereof, as the case may be, together
with interest thereon at the rate of 10% per annum compounded daily. No such payment or
performance by IronPlanet shall be deemed to waive breach by the Seller, or relieve the Seller, of
its creditor obligations.



In its sole discretion, IronPlanet may independently carry out title and lien searches to
investigate the existence of filed UCC financing statements on the Equipment that may compromise
assignment of the Equipment to a new Buyer. IronPlanet may charge the Seller a lien fee for this
verification (“Ownership Verification and Lien Search Fee”).



Removal Penalty Prior to Daily Auction Close — Reserve not met. If, for any reason, the Seller
withdraws a piece of Equipment listed in a Daily Auction from the IronPlanet Site after the time of
Equipment Listing but before either the reserve, if any, is met or the auction closes, the Seller
agrees to pay IronPlanet a removal fee equivalent to the greater of (i) 2% of the Reserve Price (as
set by the Seller) or (ii) $50 (“Removal Penalty Prior to Daily Auction Close”). If, for any
reason prior to the auction close, IronPlanet removes Equipment from a Daily Auction due to
Seller’s violation of the Auction Seller Agreement, the Seller agrees to pay IronPlanet the Removal
Penalty Prior to Daily Auction Close.



Default Penalty Daily Auction — Reserve met. If, for any reason, the Seller withdraws a piece of
Equipment (or causes IronPlanet to withdraw their Equipment in violation of the Auction Seller
Agreement) listed in a Daily Auction after the Seller Reserve Price is met, the Seller agrees to
pay IronPlanet a Default Penalty (“Seller Default Penalty”) equivalent to the Commission Fee of the
winning Final Selling Price as if the Equipment were sold, as well as the Listing Fee.




VI. IronClad Assurance



IronPlanet’s Inspection Reports are covered by IronPlanet’s IronClad Assurance. Inspections are
performed and Inspection Reports are provided subject to the Inspection Terms and Conditions
provided on the IronPlanet Site. The “Inspection Report” is an inspection report created by
IronPlanet for Equipment auctioned through the Services, which report includes a detailed component
evaluation and numerous pictures. Carefully reviewing all the available Equipment pictures offers
a broader description of used Equipment condition that can be obtained from reading a short written
comment. With used Equipment “a picture is worth a thousand words”. IronPlanet inspections are
performed solely for the purpose of reporting on the visible condition of the Equipment’s major
systems and attachments on the day of the inspection. Observed conditions may be complemented by
the measurement of selected parts and the results of fluid sampling. IronPlanet condition
inspections are not designed nor intended to detect latent or hidden defects, or conditions that
could only be found in connection with the physical dismantling of the machine or the use of
diagnostic equipment or techniques. In no event shall IronPlanet be liable for the






9









 







identification of such defects. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or
elsewhere on the Site, if Equipment is provided without an Inspection Report as elected by the
Seller, the IronClad Assurance will not apply.



IronPlanet’s “IronClad Assurance” (as defined below) is intended for knowledgeable Buyers who both
read our condition assessment and also review each picture carefully to make the best bidding and
buying decision possible. As equipment is used and ages, it becomes difficult to make comment on
each scratch, dent or maintenance repair. Therefore, conditions that can be seen in the Equipment
pictures stand as additions to the written narrative description. IronClad Assurance does not
cover disputes concerning conditions visible in any of the Inspection Report Equipment pictures
(including the full-size image visible through zooming), even if these conditions are not
specifically mentioned in the written narrative comments. Don’t be a disappointed Buyer, review
all the Equipment pictures!



Under the “IronClad Assurance” (which is provided subject to the Inspection Terms and conditions
provided on the IronPlanet Site), if a Buyer discovers that a piece of Equipment purchased by the
Buyer is not substantially in the condition as represented in the Inspection Report, and
Constructive Receipt of the Equipment, as detailed in Section V has not occurred, the Buyer may
submit a written Dispute Claim to IronPlanet, then, subject to the conditions set forth below and
IronPlanet’s confirmation of the accuracy of the Dispute Claim, IronPlanet may either refund the
full purchase price to the Buyer (inclusive of the Transaction Fee and any applicable taxes) and
reimburse the Buyer for any expenses incurred when initially transporting the Equipment from the
Seller to the Buyer’s location, or IronPlanet may settle such Dispute Claim in another mutually
beneficial manner for the Buyer (subject to a $500 deductible as described below).



All items constituting the basis for the Dispute Claim must be identified, in writing, in such
Dispute Claim. In addition to the conditions for a valid Dispute Claim stated above, all Dispute
Claims are also subject to the following conditions:



1. Determination of a changed condition will be made only as the result of a re-inspection by
IronPlanet and a comparison of the re-inspection results with the initial IronPlanet inspection.



2. Only conditions found by the Buyer to be substantially different than reported in the IronPlanet
Inspection Report may be disputed. Leaks of any kind (including tires) that are found by the
Buyer, but which are not reported on the Inspection Report, may not be disputed. Conditions which
are beyond the scope of a general condition inspection and are not disputable include: those which
can be identified reasonably only through the operation of a machine on a job site, e.g. digging or
lifting; operating the machine through the full range of speeds required to evaluate all forward
and reverse gears; replacement or addition of attachments to the machine; disassembly or the use
of diagnostic or test equipment in order to evaluate characteristics such as engine compression.



3. If the Buyer submits a Dispute Claim, the Buyer must not use the piece of Equipment from the
time of submission of the Dispute Claim to the time the Dispute Claim is resolved. The Buyer must
have the Equipment available for immediate re-inspection upon IronPlanet’s request and not make any
changes to condition of Equipment; including disassembling or making any repairs, until the Dispute
Claim is resolved.



4. IronPlanet shall not be responsible for any Dispute Claim with the Equipment’s Inspection Report
unless the Buyer has made the purchase of the Equipment and has paid in full through the secure
payment account designated by IronPlanet.



5. The pick-up location for the purchased Equipment must be in the United States or Canada.



6. IronPlanet makes every effort to accurately describe Equipment using common industry terms.
However, Equipment, trucks and Equipment options and attachments can be known by different terms in
different parts of the country. Buyers must refer to the pictures contained in the Inspection
Report to clarify their understanding of specific Equipment characteristics. IronPlanet cannot be
responsible for any misinterpretation or oversight by the Buyer.



7. IronPlanet shall not be responsible for Dispute Claims filed if the Buyer transfers ownership,
operates, leases, rents, or in any way cause or allows the Equipment to be used or operated prior
to the expiration of the time periods identified in paragraph V, Completion of Transactions, above.
The only exception to this is operation necessary to move the Equipment around the lot, to
load/unload the Equipment, or to verify the reported inspection condition after receipt of the
Equipment. In any event, IronPlanet shall not be liable for any dispute relating to a difference
in the Equipment hour meter of more than five (5) hours or ten (10) odometer miles from the
Inspection Report.



8. IronPlanet shall not be responsible for Dispute Claims filed if the Equipment is damaged by the
Buyer or the transportation company.



9. IronPlanet shall not be responsible for Equipment operating manuals or keys. The absence of
either or both of these items, or costs related thereto, are not the basis for a valid Dispute
Claim.








10









 







10. IronPlanet shall not be responsible for Dispute Claims filed due to changes in Equipment
condition as a result of exposure to the elements (wind, rain, snow, freezing temperatures, sleet,
etc.), including during shipment, such as leaky seals, belts/pulleys, hoses, corrosion, paint fade,
window grazing, water contamination or fuel contamination. Without limitation to the foregoing
sentence, IronPlanet shall not be liable for failure of Electronic Control Modules for systems or
components nor for electronic displays, dead batteries or lights.



11. The estimated total cost to fix items subject to a valid Dispute Claim must exceed $500. This
$500 deductible will be applied to any settlement of a Dispute Claim.



12. IronPlanet suggests to each Buyer that lubrication, cooling, hydraulic and air conditioning
systems be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications prior to the machine being
put onto a job site. Dispute Claims based on system failures due to a lack of lubrication or other
appropriate servicing before the Buyer puts the machine to work will not be covered by IronClad
Assurance. IronPlanet personnel will evaluate lubrication and maintenance records of post-sale
servicing and fluid sample results from failed components as part of the dispute resolution
process.



Adjudication of Equipment Dispute. IronPlanet will be solely responsible for the review and
adjudication of any dispute by, between or among Buyers, Sellers and/or IronPlanet arising out of
or relating to the condition of Equipment or any Dispute Claims. All determinations made by
IronPlanet shall be final.

satisfaction on behalf of the Seller a valid exemption certificate from such taxes. Buyers and
Sellers acknowledge and agree that IronPlanet is providing a service in the calculation, reporting
and remittance of sales or use taxes which may be assessed, due or owing to the taxing authorities
of any taxing jurisdiction for transactions that arise in connection with your use of the Service.
Without limitation to the disclaimer of warranties in Section VII, IronPlanet expressly disclaims
all warranties of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, with respect the Services, including
without limitation, that IronPlanet’s calculation, reporting or remittance of sales or use tax
shall be timely or error free, or that defects will be corrected. Each Buyer shall indemnify
IronPlanet against any tax, cost or expense relating to the failure of the Buyer to satisfy any
sales or use tax liability related to a transaction within their jurisdiction. Each Seller shall
indemnify IronPlanet against any tax, cost or expense relating to the failure of the Seller to
satisfy any sales or use tax liability related to a transaction within their jurisdiction



Transaction Fee. All equipment purchased through IronPlanet is subject to a Transaction Fee on each
unit which is to be paid by the Buyer. The Transaction Fees are located at
http://www.ironplanet.com/buy/buy_fees.jsp and are hereby incorporated for reference. All fees,
including this Transaction Fee, must be paid prior to releasing any Equipment for pick-up or
transport.

Payment and Payment Schedule. Full payment from the winning bidder in the amount of the Final
Selling Price, applicable sales tax and the Transaction Fee must post to a secure payment account
designated by IronPlanet within three (3) business days after the close of the Auction for the
piece of Equipment. Buyers from the United States must send payments via wire transfer or
certified bank check. Buyers from outside the United States must send all payments via wire
transfer.



Buyer Default. If, after five (5) business days (a business day being defined as Monday-Friday,
excluding U.S. Federal holidays) after the close of the Auction for the piece of Equipment, the
Buyer does not make full payment in accordance with the payment schedule and terms set forth above,
the Buyer is considered in default and shall be subject to a Default Penalty which is set forth on
the IronPlanet Site at http://www.ironplanet.com/buy/buy_fees.jsp. In addition, the Buyer will be
barred from further use of the IronPlanet Site until the Default Penalty is paid.



Buyer Removal of Equipment. Buyers are responsible for loading and shipping the Equipment for
transportation, unless otherwise noted in the Equipment listing. Seller agrees to have the
Equipment available for transportation, complete with ignition key, to the Buyer no later than one
(1) business day after the conclusion of the auction for the piece of Equipment. Buyer may remove
the Equipment from the Seller’s location once the Final Sales Price (and any applicable sales tax
and the Transaction Fee) has been received by and posted to a secure payment account designated by
IronPlanet. If a Buyer has not removed the Equipment from the Seller’s location within eight (8)
business days after the close of the Auction for the piece of Equipment, the Buyer will be
responsible for directly paying the Seller any and all storage fees if levied by the Seller.



Notice to Buyer: IronPlanet is a California registered and bonded (#70259768) auction
company. IronPlanet, consistent with California law, may deem Buyer’s failure to claim property
within sixty (60) days following a final sales transaction to be evidence of Buyer’s intent to
abandon the property. Where Buyer fails to claim property within sixty (60) days following a final
sales transaction, IronPlanet may take action that is adverse to Buyer’s interest in the property,
including but not limited to any appropriate steps under the law to dispose of the property.
Depending upon the value of the property (as determined by the Final Selling Price before the
buyer’s transaction fee in the original auction), disposition of the property may consist of a
public auction or some other means. For those items with a Final Selling Price of less than $500,
IronPlanet will dispose of the item as we see fit. For those items with a Final Selling Price of
$500 or greater, the item will be sold in a public IronPlanet auction. Once the item sells,
IronPlanet will withhold 25% of the sale price, or $200, whichever is greater, to cover
IronPlanet’s administrative and sale execution costs, plus additional proceeds will be withheld to
cover any outstanding sales taxes. The remaining proceeds will be provided to the original seller
to be applied toward storage, insurance, maintenance, and administrative costs.



Freight, Transportation and Export. The Buyer is responsible for all freight, shipping and other
costs related to transporting the Equipment from the posted Equipment location to its final
destination. These costs include but are not limited to dismantling, special handling, loading,
transportation costs and any certificates, and/or permits required to move the Equipment within or
across borders. Buyers are advised to have all such certificates and permits issued and completed
prior to transporting the equipment; otherwise Buyers may be subject to cleaning, permit, and/or
other fees if the Equipment is stopped and held at a Port of Entry to a state, province or country.
Buyers that plan to export equipment through US Customs should engage the services of a US
forwarding agent to prepare documents that are required by US Custom Control. These documents may
include a power of attorney that authorizes a forwarding agent to complete the necessary Shipper
Export Declaration (SED) and filing the AES record. IronPlanet can provide equipment invoices or a
notarized Bill of Sale to facilitate Buyer exports. IronPlanet cannot provide Manufacturing
Statements of Origin (MSO’s) on used equipment bought from our website nor can we be held
responsible for lack of manufacturers’ identifying numbers, engine or serial numbers. Buyers may
not transport the Equipment until full payment (including any applicable sales tax and the
Transaction Fee) has been received by and cleared by IronPlanet’s designated bank.



Transportation Partners. Buyers may arrange transportation of Equipment on the IronPlanet website
through one of our transportation partners. While IronPlanet will not be liable for any acts or
omissions arising from any third party transportation arrangements, for any buyer who engages an
IronPlanet transportation partner for transportation of Equipment and encounters an issue with our
transportation partner, IronPlanet will assist the buyer in resolving the issue with our
transportation partner. For those buyers who engage a transportation provider other than one of
IronPlanet’s transportation partners to transport Equipment, IronPlanet will not be able to assist
in the resolution of any issues that may arise with the transportation provider.



Constructive Receipt. Once Constructive Receipt has occurred for any given piece of Equipment,
remittance of proceeds to the Seller may occur. Any dispute claims filed by the Buyer under
protection of IronPlanet’s IronClad Assurance (“Dispute Claims”) after Constructive Receipt has
occurred are invalid, as set forth in Section VI. “Construction Receipt” of Equipment occurs at the
first occurrence of any of the following milestones (unless a Dispute Claim has been previously
filed by the Buyer), provided full payment has been received by IronPlanet for the Equipment.








4









 







a) At the time the Equipment leaves the point of pick-up at the Seller’s location, if Buyer elects
to transport the Equipment themselves from the Seller’s location rather than use a common carrier.
Buyers transporting the Equipment themselves are encouraged to examine the Equipment thoroughly
prior to removing it from the Seller’s location



b) At the time the Equipment leaves the point of pick-up by Buyer or Buyer’s agent or
representative at the Seller’s location if Equipment is self-transporting, such as a truck. Buyers
of self-transporting Equipment are encouraged to examine the Equipment thoroughly prior to removing
it from the Seller’s location



c) Ten (10) business days after the conclusion of the Auction for the Equipment.



d) Twenty-four (24) hours after delivery of the Equipment to the Buyer’s designated location, if
purchased Equipment is sold from the United States or Canada and is subsequently delivered within
the United States or Canada. (If the expiration of the 24-hour period falls on a Saturday, Sunday
or a United States Federal Holiday, Constructive Receipt on the basis of the passing of this
milestone will not occur until the sooner of a) the first non-weekend day or b) the first
non-Federal Holiday). If purchased Equipment is sold from the United States or Canada and is
subsequently to be delivered outside the continental United States or Canada, Constructive Receipt
on the basis of the passing of this milestone will occur twenty-four (24) hours after Equipment
delivery to the United States or Canadian Port of Export. Any dispute claims must be initiated and
settled prior to export. Once equipment is exported outside the continental United States or
Cabada, the Buyer waives all Dispute Claims and the IronClad Assurance will not apply.



e) At the time Buyer or Buyer’s agent or representative begins disassembly of Equipment from its
as-inspected configuration, including disassembly for transport.



Remittance of Proceeds to Seller.IronPlanet shall remit the Final Sale Price less any commission or
fees as set forth in the IronPlanet Site located at http://www.ironplanet.com/sell/fees.jsp to
Seller for such Equipment within fifteen (15) business days after the date of sale. Payments by
IronPlanet will be made by either electronic wire transfer or check (subject to additional fees for
overnight courier).



Ownership Certification, Verification and Lien Searches. At the time of listing Equipment, Sellers
are responsible to make full representation and disclosure for all liens, adverse claims and other
title encumbrances and third party interests that may exist on their Equipment to IronPlanet in
writing. Further, the Seller unconditionally gives IronPlanet authorization to contact and verify
with their creditors all outstanding encumbrance balances that may affect or compromise the
assignment of the Equipment to a new Buyer.



If the Seller fails to remove any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim on or to any Equipment sold or
fails to perform or comply with any other of its obligations under this Agreement IronPlanet will
remove such lien, encumbrance or adverse claim using the Seller net proceeds. If the Sellers net
proceeds are insufficient to discharge creditor claims on the Equipment the Seller is fully
responsible for paying the outstanding debt balance immediately. IronPlanet at its sole discretion
and prior to Equipment auction may ask the Seller for additional funds to repay their creditor
obligations when Seller net proceeds are not estimated to be sufficient to extinguish the Seller
obligation.



The Seller shall pay IronPlanet upon demand all of IronPlanet’s expenses and payments incurred in
connection with any removal of any liens or the performance thereof, as the case may be, together
with interest thereon at the rate of 10% per annum compounded daily. No such payment or
performance by IronPlanet shall be deemed to waive breach by the Seller, or relieve the Seller, of
its creditor obligations.



In its sole discretion, IronPlanet may independently carry out title and lien searches to
investigate the existence of filed UCC financing statements on the Equipment that may compromise
assignment of the Equipment to a new Buyer. IronPlanet may charge the Seller a lien fee for this
verification (“Ownership Verification and Lien Search Fee”).



Removal Penalty Prior to Daily Auction Close — Reserve not met. If, for any reason, the Seller
withdraws a piece of Equipment listed in a Daily Auction from the IronPlanet Site after the time of
Equipment Listing but before either the reserve, if any, is met or the auction closes, the Seller
agrees to pay IronPlanet a removal fee equivalent to the greater of (i) 2% of the Reserve Price (as
set by the Seller) or (ii) $50 (“Removal Penalty Prior to Daily Auction Close”). If, for any
reason prior to the auction close, IronPlanet removes Equipment from an Daily Auction due to
Seller’s violation of the Auction Seller Agreement, the Seller agrees to pay IronPlanet the Removal
Penalty Prior to Daily Auction Close.



Default Penalty Daily Auction — Reserve met. If, for any reason, the Seller withdraws a piece of
Equipment (or causes IronPlanet to withdraw their Equipment in violation of the Auction Seller
Agreement) listed in a Daily Auction after the Seller Reserve Price is met, the Seller agrees to
pay IronPlanet a Default Penalty (“Seller Default Penalty”) equivalent to the Commission Fee of the
winning Final Selling Price as if the Equipment were sold, as well as the Listing Fee.

VI. IronClad Assurance



IronPlanet’s Inspection Reports are covered by IronPlanet’s IronClad Assurance. Inspections are
performed and Inspection Reports are provided subject to the Inspection Terms and Conditions
provided on the IronPlanet Site. The “Inspection Report” is an inspection report created by
IronPlanet for Equipment auctioned through the Services, which report includes a detailed component
evaluation and numerous pictures. Carefully reviewing all the available Equipment pictures offers
a broader description of used Equipment condition that can be obtained from reading a short written
comment. With used Equipment “a picture is worth a thousand words”. IronPlanet inspections are
performed solely for the purpose of reporting on the visible condition of the Equipment’s major
systems and attachments on the day of the inspection. Observed conditions may be complemented by
the measurement of selected parts and the results of fluid sampling. IronPlanet condition
inspections are not designed nor intended to detect latent or hidden defects, or conditions that
could only be found in connection with the physical dismantling of the machine or the use of
diagnostic equipment or techniques. In no event shall IronPlanet be liable for the identification
of such defects. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or elsewhere on the
Site, if Equipment is provided without an Inspection Report as elected by the Seller, the IronClad
Assurance will not apply.



IronPlanet’s “IronClad Assurance” (as defined below) is intended for knowledgeable Buyers who both
read our condition assessment and also review each picture carefully to make the best bidding and
buying decision possible. As equipment is used and ages, it becomes difficult to make comment on
each scratch, dent or maintenance repair. Therefore, conditions that can be seen in the Equipment
pictures stand as additions to the written narrative description. IronClad Assurance does not
cover disputes concerning conditions visible in any of the Inspection Report Equipment pictures
(including the full-size image visible through zooming), even if these conditions are not
specifically mentioned in the written narrative comments. Don’t be a disappointed Buyer, review
all the Equipment pictures!



Under the “IronClad Assurance” (which is provided subject to the Inspection Terms and conditions
provided on the IronPlanet Site), if a Buyer discovers that a piece of Equipment purchased by the
Buyer is not substantially in the condition as represented in the Inspection Report, and
Constructive Receipt of the Equipment, as detailed in Section V has not occurred, the Buyer may
submit a written Dispute Claim to IronPlanet, then, subject to the conditions set forth below and
IronPlanet’s confirmation of the accuracy of the Dispute Claim, IronPlanet may either refund the
full purchase price to the Buyer (inclusive of the Transaction Fee and any applicable taxes) and
reimburse the Buyer for any expenses incurred when initially transporting the Equipment from the
Seller to the Buyer’s location, or IronPlanet may settle such Dispute Claim in another mutually
beneficial manner for the Buyer (subject to a $500 deductible as described below).



All items constituting the basis for the Dispute Claim must be identified, in writing, in such
Dispute Claim. In addition to the conditions for a valid Dispute Claim stated above, all Dispute
Claims are also subject to the following conditions:



1. Determination of a changed condition will be made only as the result of a re-inspection by
IronPlanet and a comparison of the re-inspection results with the initial IronPlanet inspection.



2. Only conditions found by the Buyer to be substantially different than reported in the IronPlanet
Inspection Report may be disputed. Leaks of any kind (including tires) that are found by the
Buyer, but which are not reported on the Inspection Report, may not be disputed. Conditions which
are beyond the scope of a general condition inspection and are not disputable include: those which
can be identified reasonably only through the operation of a machine on a job site, e.g. digging or
lifting; operating the machine through the full range of speeds required to evaluate all forward
and reverse gears; replacement or addition of attachments to the machine; disassembly or the use
of diagnostic or test equipment in order to evaluate characteristics such as engine compression.



3. If the Buyer submits a Dispute Claim, the Buyer must not use the piece of Equipment from the
time of submission of the Dispute Claim to the time the Dispute Claim is resolved. The Buyer must
have the Equipment available for immediate re-inspection upon IronPlanet’s request and not make any
changes to condition of Equipment; including disassembling or making any repairs, until the Dispute
Claim is resolved.



4. IronPlanet shall not be responsible for any Dispute Claim with the Equipment’s Inspection Report
unless the Buyer has made the purchase of the Equipment and has paid in full through the secure
payment account designated by IronPlanet.



5. The pick-up location for the purchased Equipment must be in the United States or Canada.



6. IronPlanet makes every effort to accurately describe Equipment using common industry terms.
However, Equipment, trucks and Equipment options and attachments can be known by different terms in
different parts of the country. Buyers must refer to the pictures contained in the Inspection
Report to clarify their understanding of specific Equipment characteristics. IronPlanet cannot be
responsible for any misinterpretation or oversight by the Buyer.








6









 







7. IronPlanet shall not be responsible for Dispute Claims filed if the Buyer transfers ownership,
operates, leases, rents, or in any way cause or allows the Equipment to be used or operated prior
to the expiration of the time periods identified in paragraph V, Completion of Transactions, above.
The only exception to this is operation necessary to move the Equipment around the lot, to
load/unload the Equipment, or to verify the reported inspection condition after receipt of the
Equipment. In any event, IronPlanet shall not be liable for any dispute relating to a difference
in the Equipment hour meter of more than five (5) hours or ten (10) odometer miles from the
Inspection Report.



8. IronPlanet shall not be responsible for Dispute Claims filed if the Equipment is damaged by the
Buyer or the transportation company.



9. IronPlanet shall not be responsible for Equipment operating manuals or keys. The absence of
either or both of these items, or costs related thereto, are not the basis for a valid Dispute
Claim.



10. IronPlanet shall not be responsible for Dispute Claims filed due to changes in Equipment
condition as a result of exposure to the elements (wind, rain, snow, freezing temperatures, sleet,
etc.), including during shipment, such as leaky seals, belts/pulleys, hoses, corrosion, paint fade,
window grazing, water contamination or fuel contamination. Without limitation to the foregoing
sentence, IronPlanet shall not be liable for failure of Electronic Control Modules for systems or
components nor for electronic displays, dead batteries or lights.



11. The estimated total cost to fix items subject to a valid Dispute Claim must exceed $500. This
$500 deductible will be applied to any settlement of a Dispute Claim.



12. IronPlanet suggests to each Buyer that lubrication, cooling, hydraulic and air conditioning
systems be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications prior to the machine being
put onto a job site. Dispute Claims based on system failures due to a lack of lubrication or other
appropriate servicing before the Buyer puts the machine to work will not be covered by IronClad
Assurance. IronPlanet personnel will evaluate lubrication and maintenance records of post-sale
servicing and fluid sample results from failed components as part of the dispute resolution
process.



Adjudication of Equipment Dispute. IronPlanet will be solely responsible for the review and
adjudication of any dispute by, between or among Buyers, Sellers and/or IronPlanet arising out of
or relating to the condition of Equipment or any Dispute Claims. All determinations made by
IronPlanet shall be final.
