B2B MARKETPLACE SAFETY BLUEPRINT: HOW TO STAY SAFE
At Used Machines Market Place (usedmachines.co), we facilitate secure, transparent business-to-business (B2B) connections for heavy machinery, manufacturing lines, and industrial equipment. To safeguard your investments and ensure legitimate trade, all marketplace participants must strictly adhere to the following safety protocols:

1. MANDATORY ON-SITE TECHNICAL AUDITS
Never buy heavy machinery, sawmill equipment, or complete industrial plants sight unseen.
• Schedule a physical, on-site inspection before deploying deposits or wire transfers.
• We highly recommend hiring a certified third-party mechanical engineer or technician to run full operational load-testing, examine mechanical wear, and check electrical control cabinets.

2. COMMERCIAL REGISTRATION & GSTIN VERIFICATION
Verify who you are doing business with. Legitimate corporate operators trade transparently.
• Request the corporate registration details and the official Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN) from the counterparty.
• Cross-reference and validate the provided GSTIN data directly on the official government tax portal to verify business legitimacy, operational status, and legal trade names before signing commercial invoices.

3. SECURE MILESTONE TRANSACTIONS & ESCROW
Protect your capital. Avoid risky, unverified immediate financial transfers.
• Never issue complete upfront payments or non-refundable cash deposits to unverified bank routing lines.
• Utilize structured commercial payment milestones, bank Escrow arrangements, or irrevocable Letters of Credit (LC) tied explicitly to independent third-party inspection clearances, dismantling milestones, or freight loading confirmations.

4. LOGISTICS, RIGGING & DISMANTLING PROTOCOLS
Heavy machinery requires specialized moving procedures.
• Clearly define contract terms determining who is responsible for plant decommissioning, rigging, heavy hauling logistics, and transit insurance.
• Always verify that the logistics or rigging provider holds adequate commercial liability insurance to cover structural damage during machinery removal.

5. PROOF OF TITLE & LIEN DOCUMENTATION
Ensure the asset is legally cleared for commercial sale.
• Explicitly demand original purchasing invoices, manufacturer certifications, and complete historical maintenance logs from the seller.
• Confirm that the machinery or plant is entirely free from financial hypothecations, banking liens, or active bankruptcy court proceedings by requesting clean title clearances.
