With this 'Sample Contract for a Sales Agreement for Used Machinery (B2B)' we aim to meet the request of numerous VDMA member companies to provide legal clarification for this type of transaction and present a sample contract framework for further guidance. This guide is based on a typical scenario to illustrate the basic structural elements and frequently encountered issues. The specimen is designed for transactions in Germany or for use internationally and, whenever necessary, shows where and what areas require adaptions. Furthermore, a ‘disassembly clause’ is included where the used machine still requires disassembly, which often occurs in practice. It should be noted that the model is drawn up from the perspective of the seller and must be adapted when used to purchase items to reflect the associated shift in interests. The sample contract is supplemented by comments and contains extensive additional guidance.
