ABOUT ZGM.COM

ZGM.COM is a site operated by ZGM.COM (“We” or “ZGM.COM“). We are a limited liability company incorporated in Singapore.

ZGM.COM is an International Heavy Equipment & Machinery Marketplace, Industrial Supply Chain and Community Site that permits users to offer, sell and buy equipment, construction and industrial goods and services in a variety of pricing formats and locations; blog services; technology services; listing services for places and events and all applicable services (collectively, the “Services“). Save as otherwise expressly stated, ZGM.COM does not have possession of anything listed or sold through ZGM.COM, and is not involved in the transaction or contracts between the buyers and sellers. The actual contract for sale is directly between the sellers and buyers using our electronic marketplace called ZGM.COM International Equipment Marketplace through our site, and governed by our Terms of Sales.

Whilst we may provide pricing, shipping, product information, listing, and other guidance in our services and/or equipment and machinery certification and information, such guidance is solely informational and you have to make your own decision and enquiries.

ZGM.COM does not review users’ listings or content. Also, while we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes through various programs, ZGM.COM has no control over and does not guarantee the existence, quality, safety or legality of items advertised; the truth or accuracy of users’ content or listings; the ability of sellers to sell items; the ability of buyers to pay for items; or that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction or return an item.

We may cancel unconfirmed accounts or accounts that have been inactive for a long time or modify or discontinue our Services.

FEES

Joining ZGM.COM as a ordinary member is free. The fees we charge for using other Services are listed on the respective sections of our site. We may change our fees from time to time by posting the changes on our site 14 days in advance, but advance notice is not required for temporary promotions.

Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in Singapore Dollars.

You must have a payment method on file when selling on ZGM.COM, or put one on file before you next sell, and pay all fees and applicable taxes associated with our Services by the payment due date. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed by charging other payment methods on file with us, retaining collection agencies and legal counsel, and, for accounts over 180 days past due, instructing PayPal to deduct the amount owed from your PayPal account balance. In addition, you will be subject to late fees. ZGM.COM, or the collection agencies we retain, may also report information about your account to credit bureaus, and as a result, late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report.
