These Terms of Use (this “Agreement”), which is a legal agreement between you (“You” or "you") and MachineWeb, Inc., a Michigan corporation doing business as "MachineTools.com" (“MT”), shall govern Your use of and access to the Application (as defined below) and the Website (as defined below). By checking any acceptance boxes, clicking any acceptance buttons, submitting any text or content, downloading the Application or simply by making any use of the Application and/or Website, You (a) accept this Agreement and agree to be bound by each of its terms, and (b) represent and warrant to MT that (i) You are at least 13 years of age and have the authority to enter into this Agreement (either on your own behalf or by having a parent or legal guardian agree to the terms set forth herein on your behalf), (ii) this Agreement is binding and enforceable against You, (iii) to the extent an individual is accepting this Agreement on behalf of an entity, such individual has the right and authority to agree to all of the terms set forth herein on behalf of such entity, and (iv) You have read and understand MT’s Privacy Policy, the terms of which are posted at the Website and incorporated herein by reference (the “Privacy Policy”), and agree to abide by the Privacy Policy. MT may amend this Agreement from time to time, each of which amendments shall be deemed to be effective 2 days after posting the updated Agreement at the Website or within the Application. You should check the Website, the Application and this Agreement regularly to ensure You remain current on the terms and agreements set forth herein.

1. Purpose.
   The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions under which, among other things, MT will license to You use of certain of MT’s technology, software and/or services such you can make use of the Website and/or Application for purposes of selling metalworking machinery, locating equipment for purchase and/or learning about machine tools, tooling and/or related topics. References to "Website" shall mean the website currently located at www.machinetools.com and references to "Application" shall mean any mobile application made available by MT either in the iTunes Store, within the Google Play store or any other similar store where mobile applications can be purchased and/or downloaded. In addition, MachineTools has entered into various arrangements with third parties to offer other products and services at the Web site, including, without limitation, financing, lubricants and metals. MT's services (the "Services") are described within various pages of the Website and/or Application. You should review these pages to gain a better understanding of the Services and the goals behind the Website and/or Application. Access to the Website and/or Application for the purposes described above is sometimes reference to herein as the "Purpose".

   MT is not a manufacturer, retailer or re-seller with respect to machinery, equipment or any other products or services listed on the Website or within the Application. Rather, MT is merely an online and/or mobile resource for buyers and sellers of these goods and services to locate one another. MT does not endorse or recommend the products or services of any particular company or manufacturer. MT is not your agent, nor is MT an agent for any of the companies which list products and/or services at the Website or within the Application. MT’s services are administrative only. MT, in this regard, is providing nothing more than a listing service where such products and/or services can be purchased directly from such third party vendors or resellers, and MT shall not be liable in any way for the condition of any such product, the performance of any such service or any other action taken by any of these third party vendors. You agree that MT shall not be liable for any damages or costs of any type arising out of or in any way connected with your purchase and/or use of any machine, tooling, equipment or other item or service at the Website or via the Application.

   More specifically, MT provides the Services and the Web site so that sellers may offer assets for sale and buyers may place offers to purchase these assets directly with the seller. As such, MT is neither a principal interested in the transactions, nor an agent of buyer or seller. MT does not have the power to transfer title to any assets offered by sellers at the Web site. Because MT is not a party to any transaction, MT does not make, and should not be construed as having made, any representation or warranty of any kind concerning any of the offered assets, including without limitation any representation or warranty regarding the quality, safety or legality of the offered assets, or the truth or accuracy of any offerings. Additionally, MT makes no representation or warranty of any kind as to the willingness or ability of either a buyer or seller to complete a sale. Buyers and sellers are solely responsible for independently verifying the background and credit-worthiness of those parties with whom they enter into, or with whom they prospectively will enter into, a transaction, as well as the condition or any description of an asset involved in a prospective transaction.

   Further to your release above, in the event of any controversy or dispute regarding any transaction conducted through use of the Services, the Website or the Application (a "Dispute"), you hereby release MT, its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, shareholders, co-branders, partners, successors and assigns (the "Released Parties"), and each of the foregoing, from any and all manner of action, claim or cause of action or suit, at law or in equity, and from any and all losses, damages, costs or expenses, including without limitation court costs and attorneys' fees, which you may have against the Released Parties, or any of them, known or unknown, disclosed or undisclosed, which arise out of or relate in any way to a Dispute. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive your rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which states: "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."

   MT expressly reserves the right to discontinue, suspend or terminate the offering of one or all of its Services at any time.

2. License.
   MT hereby grants You a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable, limited license to access and use MT’s software platform (the “Application”) as made available at the Website and/or via mobile application during the Term (as defined below) solely for the Purpose. MT may, from time to time, update or modify the Application, release new versions of the Application or create new modules related thereto, each of which may, at MT’s discretion, be included within the license described above.

Members, in addition to agreeing to the terms set forth below, shall be deemed to have accepted all of the terms and conditions set forth above, and all such terms and conditions shall be deemed to be applicable to Member.

MT hereby grants to each Member a non-transferable, non-exclusive, fee-based license to access and use the MM Service for internal business purposes so long as Member remains current in paying Fees due and owing to MT. The license fee for the rights granted in this paragraph shall be as set forth elsewhere on the Website or as provided separately to each Member.

Unless otherwise agreed, each Member will be responsible for creating and modifying data which is entered into the MM Service ("Data"), and keeping Data input into the MM Service current and accurate.

If MT provides a Member with a password to access the MM Service, then such Member is responsible for protecting the password and for any authorized or unauthorized use made of the password. Each Member will cooperate fully with law enforcement authorities in the detection and prosecution of illegal activity related to unauthorized use of the MM Service. All Data will remain the sole property of the applicable Member, and as such, MT will not sell or otherwise use such Data for any purpose other than providing the MM Service.

Further to all applicable term and conditions set forth above (and not by way of limitation), the MM Service, and all software, source code, copyrights and other intellectual property associated therewith, are the sole and exclusive property of MT. As such, each Member shall be prohibited from re-selling, sub-licensing, reverse engineering or otherwise making any use of the MM Service other than its intended use.
