Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: 08/28/2026
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Asset Resource website at www.asset-resource.com (the "Website"), and any purchase, sale, bid, offer, or listing made through it (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing the Website, creating an account, submitting a listing, or placing a bid or offer, you ("Buyer," "Seller," or "you") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Description of Service

Asset Resource operates an online marketplace for surplus and used industrial equipment and materials — including oil and gas, construction, agricultural, and related assets. Listings on the Website may be offered under one of the following formats, as stated on each listing:
  • Buy Now: Purchase immediately at a fixed price. No bidding or negotiation.
  • Make Offer: Submit an offer, which the Seller may accept, counter, or decline.
  • Sealed Bid: Submit a confidential bid during a defined bidding period; the Seller may select any bid received, and the highest bid is not guaranteed to win.
  • Live Auctions: Bid in real time against other registered bidders during a scheduled auction event.

2. Accounts and Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to register for an account, bid, make an offer, or complete a purchase. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Information provided during registration must be accurate, current, and complete.

3. Bids and Offers Are Binding

When you submit a bid or accepted offer, you are entering a binding obligation to complete the transaction on the terms stated in the listing. Bids and accepted offers are not retractable, cancellable, or refundable except as expressly permitted on the listing or required by law. Sellers are likewise obligated to proceed once a Buy Now purchase is completed or an offer is formally accepted.
Make Offer submissions are binding for three (3) business days and may be accepted, countered, or declined by the Seller. If countered, you have three (3) business days to respond; the highest offer holds first right of refusal until the listing is removed or another offer is accepted. No agreement is binding until formally accepted in writing.

4. Payment, Fees, and Taxes

Unless otherwise memorialized in writing, payment is due in full within the timeframe stated on the listing or the applicable Bill of Sale, Purchase and Sale Agreement, or other transaction document (typically within 48 hours to two (2) business days of invoice or contract execution).
A 10% Buyer's Premium applies to all transactions completed through the Website. Listing on Asset Resource is free for Sellers. Accepted payment methods include wire transfer, ACH, credit card, and financing through our third-party financing partner, Substrate; credit card payments incur a 4% processing fee. Any applicable sales tax will be collected unless a valid tax exemption certificate is provided to and accepted by Asset Resource prior to execution of the Bill of Sale or Purchase and Sale Agreement.
Sellers will not accept redlines or alterations to the Bill of Sale, Purchase and Sale Agreement, or other transaction documents provided by Asset Resource.

5. "As-Is, Where-Is" — No Warranty

All items listed on the Website are sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty, representation, or guarantee of any kind — express or implied — as to condition, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or otherwise, unless a warranty is specifically memorialized in writing by Asset Resource. Buyers are solely responsible for inspecting listed items and for any industry-standard testing, certification, or re-certification required before use. Each transaction is further governed by the applicable Bill of Sale or Purchase and Sale Agreement.

6. Seller Responsibilities

Sellers are responsible for the accuracy of all listing information, including title, description, specifications, location, and photographs. Sellers must have the legal right to sell any item listed and must honor the terms of any Buy Now purchase or accepted offer. Asset Resource facilitates the marketplace and transaction process but is not a party to, and does not guarantee performance of, the underlying sale between Buyer and Seller.

7. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:
  • Submit a bid or offer you do not intend to honor, or engage in shill bidding or other bid manipulation.
  • Post false, misleading, or fraudulent listing information.
  • Circumvent the Website to complete a transaction with another user in order to avoid applicable fees.
  • Use automated means (bots, scrapers, or scripts) to access, monitor, or extract data from the Website without prior written consent.
  • Interfere with the security, integrity, or normal operation of the Website.
  • Use the Website for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable local, state, federal, or international law.
