Terms of Service
This Terms of Service Agreement (“TOS”) describes the terms and conditions applicable to your use of our services at UsedHospitalEquipment.org. If you do not understand or agree with any part of the rules outlined in this TOS, please do not submit offers for items listed on UsedHospitalEquipment.org. Do not submit any offers to UsedHospitalEquipment.org until all questions and concerns have been answered to your satisfaction and you agree to abide by the TOS. If you have any questions please contact us using the form located at www.UsedHospitalEquipment.org/contact-us.
1. UsedHospitalEquipment.org provides a variety of services (the “Services”) to businesses buying and selling medical equipment and individual buyers and sellers of medical equipment. Any new features added to this site to augment the Services shall also be subject to this TOS, as modified from time to time. The most current version of the TOS can be obtained at www.UsedHospitalEquipment.org/terms-of-service.
2. Information Accuracy. UsedHospitalEquipment.org requires users to register or enter personal information before entering into a transaction or making an offer. Nonetheless, because there are limits to UsedHospitalEquipment.org’s ability to verify information provided, UsedHospitalEquipment.org can not guarantee its accuracy, nor can UsedHospitalEquipment.org warrant that users of UsedHospitalEquipment.org are who they represent themselves to be. Users of this service should take the same precautions in selling and buying as they would with other purchases.
3. User Responsibilities. If you are a user of our Services, in partial consideration of your use of the Services, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the UsedHospitalEquipment.org registration forms (b) maintain and promptly update information regarding the location and contact information for your business.
If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or UsedHospitalEquipment.org has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, UsedHospitalEquipment.org has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof). In the event UsedHospitalEquipment.org suspends an account for violations of this TOS or the violation or suspected violation of any state or federal law, no refund of any fees collected or other remedies will be given.
Participating in any transaction with or on UsedHospitalEquipment.org constitutes acceptance of these Terms of Service, a legal contract between you and UsedHospitalEquipment.org. By participating in any way with UsedHospitalEquipment.org, you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority and capacity to enter into this agreement and to abide by all its terms and conditions, just as if you had signed it.
You are solely responsible for your actions through this Web site. You are responsible for ensuring that your participation in no way violates any applicable state or federal laws or regulations. You are not eligible to participate in any way with UsedHospitalEquipment.org if you are permanently or temporarily not able to enter into a legally binding contract.
4. Arrange to Buy Transactions. As the buyer or seller of a product, you agree to contact the other party within 72 hours of notification of an Arrange To Buy request to make final closing arrangements.
Items/lots may be offered subject to a reserve price without notice to the buyers. Once offers exceed the reserve price, items/lots will be sold to the highest offerer. The rules, offer progression, and valid offer advances will be regulated at the sole discretion of UsedHospitalEquipment.org. UsedHospitalEquipment.org reserves the right not to acknowledge or accept any offer which is merely a fractional advance over the preceding offer, or to refuse any offer for any reason. UsedHospitalEquipment.org retains the right to reject all offers and remove a listed item/lot from the Web site without a completed sale transaction for any reason and without prior notice.
UsedHospitalEquipment.org. is in no way responsible for closing any transaction (i.e., payment arrangement and product shipment). The buyer and the seller are contractually bound and solely responsible for completion of the transaction. UsedHospitalEquipment.org bears no responsibility to close the transaction or to ensure the condition of the merchandise.
If, for some reason, the transaction does not close, UsedHospitalEquipment.org will not refund the seller’s fees. Users who do not complete a transaction, for example a buyer who does not pay for a purchase or a seller who does not transfer the product to the buyer, will have their membership in UsedHospitalEquipment.org indefinitely revoked.
UsedHospitalEquipment.org suggests that you take the proper precautions in insuring that your transaction is handled in a safe and secure manor. We suggest that you use PayPal as a payment source, Iescrow for larger transactions, and use Square Trade as an impartial mediator. Additionally, sellers should always use a shipper that provides tracking and requires signatures of the buyer at delivery.
5. Items Requiring a Prescription. UsedHospitalEquipment.org is an electronic medium in which buyers and sellers of medical equipment interact. It is the responsibility of the seller and the buyer not to violate any federal and state laws by selling products that require a prescription. If selling an item requiring a prescription, it is the seller’s responsibility to comply with all federal and state laws.
6. Security. You will enter your email address and create a password when completing the UsedHospitalEquipment.org registration process. This email address and password will be unique to you and will be your electronic signature on UsedHospitalEquipment.org. You must respond according to instructions in an email sent to that email address for the registration process to be fully completed.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to: (a) immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security by using the form located at www.UsedHospitalEquipment.org/contact-usx (b) ensure that you log out from your account at the end of each session.
UsedHospitalEquipment.org cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section and TOS Agreement.

These fees include either annual fees for classified ads (electronic online stores containing multiple product listings) and other products or monthly recurring fees for individual product listings, for classified ads, classified product, and others.
You are responsible for ensuring that UsedHospitalEquipment.org at all times has valid and unexpired credit card information or valid and correct electronic check debiting information. You can update this information after logging into the UsedHospitalEquipment.org Web site from your My Accounts page. Do not remove your billing information (credit card numbers, electronic check information, etc.), because your classified ad or Individual Listing then will become inactive and not visible on the UsedHospitalEquipment.org Web site.

If monthly renewal fees or annual renewal fees are declined by your credit card processor or your bank, and we are unable to obtain corrected information from you within 5 business days, all UsedHospitalEquipment.org services, including product listings within a classified ad, will be removed from the Web site without further notice.
One Individual Listing fee covers only one product, however, a quantity of more than one may be offered for each product. Placing multiple types of products in one listing for one Individual Listing is considered fraudulent activity by UsedHospitalEquipment.org and will be subject to the terms in the Fraud Section.
We may change our fees for our services from time to time without notice. We will notify you if fees are changed for services you are purchasing from UsedHospitalEquipment.org by electronic mail. However, we may choose to temporarily change our Fees for our services for promotional events (for example, free listing days) and such changes are effective when we post the temporary promotional event on the UsedHospitalEquipment.org Web site.
We may in our sole discretion change some or all of our services at any time. In the event we introduce a new service, the Fees for that service are effective at the launch of the service.
