The Surplus.com® web site AND SurplusExpo.com (also referred to as the "Site") is provided by Surplus.com® ("Surplus" or "SurplusExpo.com®") to you, (also referred to as "you" or "User") subject to the following Agreement ("Agreement") and any operating rules or policies that may be published from time to time by Surplus. Before you register to and/or begin participating in or using the Site, Surplus requires that you read and accept the following Agreement. BY CLICKING ON THE BUTTON MARKED "I ACCEPT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SURPLUS.COM® AND SurplusExpo.com USER AGREEMENT" ON THE SITE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT AS APPLIED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE. If you do not agree to this, you may not access or otherwise use the Site.

Changes to this Agreement: Surplus may, in its sole discretion, change, add or remove any portion of this Agreement, at any time, by posting a new Agreement to the Site. Your continued use of the Site after such changes are posted will constitute your agreement to such changed Agreement.

Surplus.com® AND SurplusExpo.com is ONLY a Venue: The Site is only a venue for registered sellers to conduct sales of equipment, assets and property, and for buyers to make offers on such property. Surplus is not involved in the actual transactions between buyers and sellers and therefore, has no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items, or the ability of buyers to buy items. Surplus does not qualify buyers or sellers and does not confirm the identity of each User. There may be risks dealing with foreign nationals, underage persons or people acting under false pretense. Since appearance on the Site is not an indication of creditworthiness, trustworthiness, or acceptability, Users involved in a sale are advised to communicate directly with other Users to verify to the best of their knowledge the validity of the representation of a posted item. Because Surplus is not and can not be involved in dealings between Users, in the event that you have a dispute with another User (whether a buyer or seller), you hereby release Surplus, its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "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."
