Brokerage &
website terms.

Draft dated 10 October 2026.

1. Who we are

HR Machinery is the proposed trading name for a plant, machinery and attachment sourcing and sales brokerage service. Contact Ross Quinn on 07368 385260 or sales@hrmachineryltd.co.uk. The full legal trader identity, geographical business address and any applicable company and VAT registration details must be supplied before a contract is agreed. The website does not currently represent HR Machinery as a registered limited company.

2. Our role in a transaction

Our primary service is helping buyers find machinery and helping sellers find buyers. A written instruction will identify our client, who we represent, the scope of the work and our authority. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, we have no authority to bind a buyer or seller to a transaction.

Where we act as an intermediary for a named seller, the machinery sale contract is between that seller and the buyer. We remain responsible for the services and statements we provide. If HR Machinery is itself the buyer or seller, we will state this clearly and provide the relevant sale or purchase terms. Calling a transaction a brokerage arrangement does not change its actual legal nature.

3. Enquiries and instructions

Submitting a sourcing brief or valuation request is an enquiry only. It does not reserve machinery, appoint us exclusively, authorise spending or create a purchase obligation. We will discuss the brief and provide the proposed scope, charges and terms for agreement before chargeable work starts. No particular machine, sale price or completion date is guaranteed unless expressly agreed as a contractual commitment.

4. Seller information and authority

A seller must have authority to offer the machinery and must provide accurate information to the best of their knowledge. This includes ownership, identification numbers, manufacture year or estimated age, recorded hours, service history, condition, known faults, damage, modifications and included attachments.

Sellers must disclose outstanding finance, hire purchase, leases, security interests, disputed ownership or other restrictions and update us if anything changes. Selecting “HPI clear” is a seller’s statement, not proof that checks have been carried out. Any sale involving finance requires an agreed, lawful release or settlement arrangement before clear title can pass. We do not advise on or negotiate the settlement of existing finance. Sellers must make their own arrangements with their lender. We accept separate initial corporate asset-finance enquiries only from UK limited companies proposing to borrow or hire in their own name for business purposes. These enquiries do not make a finance application or authorise a referral. The borrower’s legal status, proposed agreement and provider’s scope must be checked before any introduction. We do not offer consumer credit, personal finance, mortgage or insurance services, or finance introductions for sole traders, partnerships or LLPs. HR Machinery is not a lender. Availability, any introduction terms and fees or commission must be explained and agreed before proceeding; approval is never guaranteed.

Marketing permission, the description to be used, the asking price and our authority to discuss offers will be agreed separately. Sellers must have permission to use the images and records they supply.

5. Descriptions, photographs and valuations

Some details come from sellers or suppliers; we will identify unverified information where relevant. Meter readings are recorded hours unless independently confirmed. We take reasonable care with descriptions and will correct material errors brought to our attention. General category photography is illustrative and is not an offer of that machine for sale.

An initial valuation based on a form or photographs is an estimate, not a guaranteed purchase offer or sale price. Any offer depends on its stated conditions, including agreed checks and inspection. This does not excuse misleading statements or remove rights arising from information that forms part of a contract.

6. Inspections, checks and suitability

Before buying, discuss the machine’s suitability, condition, ownership, finance status and any required inspection. A sourcing introduction is not an engineering survey, safety certification, warranty or finance clearance. Any check we undertake will have an agreed scope; the report will describe the work done and any limitations.

Attachment fit and operating requirements must be confirmed for the particular carrier machine and attachment. New, imported, modified and second-hand equipment can carry different safety obligations. Inspection arrangements do not remove a supplier’s legal duties or a buyer’s statutory rights.

7. Fees, commission and prices

Before engagement, we will state the fee or calculation method, who pays it, VAT treatment, when payment is due, approved expenses and what happens if the instruction ends. Any commission, referral payment or potential conflict relevant to our role will be disclosed before commitment. We will not charge an unagreed fee simply because a website form has been submitted.

The written sale terms must identify the seller, machinery, included items, total price and VAT treatment. Transport, inspections and other additional charges must be clear before purchase. A website price does not by itself confirm availability or form a sale contract.

8. Payments, collection and delivery

This website does not take deposits, finance applications or machinery payments. The intended brokerage model is for the buyer to pay the identified seller directly, with our agreed service fee invoiced separately. Verify payment instructions with the intended recipient using an established contact number. We do not offer escrow or client-money holding through this service.

Responsibility for collection, loading, transport, insurance, delivery and the transfer of title and risk must be set out in the individual sale agreement. A transport introduction alone does not make us the carrier, but we remain responsible for any transport service we contract to provide.

9. Ending an instruction and consumer rights

An agreed instruction will explain its duration, how either party can end it, and any fair payment due for authorised work already carried out. Fees are not automatically non-refundable. Changing these website terms will not retrospectively change an existing agreement.

If you contract as a consumer, applicable cancellation and other statutory rights remain available. Before any distance or off-premises consumer contract, we must supply the required information and cancellation instructions. Where a 14-day cancellation right applies to a service, work during that period requires the appropriate express request; loss of that right on full performance requires the legally required consent and acknowledgement. Submitting an enquiry is not that request or waiver.

10. Our responsibility

We will perform our agreed brokerage or sourcing services with reasonable care and skill. We do not assume a third-party seller’s contractual obligations merely by introducing the parties, but this does not exclude responsibility for our own breach, negligence or misrepresentation.

Nothing here excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Consumer rights are not reduced by these terms. No blanket “sold as seen”, “no refunds” or “no liability” exclusion applies.

Any proposed limitation for a business-to-business engagement must be expressly agreed, appropriate to the work and legally reasonable. This draft does not impose a monetary liability cap or a broad indemnity on customers.

11. Questions and complaints

Contact Ross using the details above with the machine or enquiry reference and what you would like resolved. We will investigate and explain the next steps. A complaint about the seller can be directed to the identified seller, with our assistance where agreed; a complaint about our service should be directed to us. This process does not restrict access to legal remedies.

12. Privacy and applicable law

The privacy notice explains how enquiry information is handled. The proposed agreements use the law of England and Wales. Consumers retain any mandatory protections and rights to use the courts available to them under applicable law.
