Handover confirmation and payout to the seller. The Escrow funds (less the commission) are paid out to the seller only after the buyer has confirmed receipt of the machinery and the seller has confirmed handover. Until both confirmations, the funds remain in the Escrow account. In case of a dispute, the payout is withheld until the dispute is resolved; FARMSTOCK may act as an intermediary and, based on the parties' evidence, decide on refunding the Escrow funds to the buyer or paying them out to the seller.

Removal, transfer of risk and documents. The winner must remove the machinery within 10 calendar days after the auction closes and the settlement obligations are fulfilled. Ownership and risk in the machinery pass to the buyer at the moment the machinery is loaded onto the buyer's (or its carrier's) vehicle or handed over; this moment does not change the Escrow payout conditions (point 5). The seller provides all required accompanying documents (including, where applicable, ownership or registration documents and technical documentation); if these are missing, the buyer may refuse to accept the machinery.

Buyer's non-performance. If the buyer fails to pay the Escrow amount within the set deadline or fails to remove the machinery within 10 days, the Platform is entitled to cancel the transaction; the deposit paid is treated as earnest money and is not refunded.

Legal effect and sanctions. Each bid is a legally binding purchase confirmation. If the auction winner unjustifiably refuses to complete the transaction, the Platform is entitled to claim compensation for damages incurred. In cases of gross or repeated violations, the Platform may suspend or block the account in accordance with the Terms of Use (with notice and reason; undisputed amounts are refunded).

Listing exclusivity. During an active auction, the seller is strictly prohibited from simultaneously listing, advertising or offering the same machinery for sale on other platforms, classified portals or social media groups. In case of violation, FARMSTOCK is entitled to cancel the auction, block the seller's account in accordance with the Terms of Use, and apply a contractual penalty of EUR 100, as well as claim compensation for damages incurred.
