Terms and listing rules

By using vendingforsale.ca you agree to these terms. If you post a listing, the listing rules below apply too.

What we are

Vending For Sale is a listing marketplace. We are not the buyer or seller of anything listed, we do not inspect equipment or verify route sales, and we are not a party to any sale. Buyers and sellers deal with each other directly and are responsible for their own due diligence. Brokered sales (where you ask us to broker) are covered by a separate written agreement.

Listing rules

• You must own what you list, or be authorised to sell it.
• Listings must be for vending machines, vending routes, machines on location, vending businesses, or closely related equipment.
• Describe it honestly: condition, faults, what is included and, for routes, real sales figures.
• Photos must be of the actual item. No stock photos for used equipment.
• No contact details, links or payment requests in the description: buyers reach you through the message form.
• One listing per item or route. Don't repost the same thing to stay at the top.
• No machines for regulated products (tobacco, vape, cannabis or alcohol) unless the sale is lawful where it happens.

Fees, renewals and refunds

• Listing fees are shown before you pay and are charged once per listing period. Prices are in Canadian dollars, plus applicable taxes.
• A listing goes live when payment clears and stays live for the period shown. We email you before it expires.
• Renewing adds a full period on top of any time left. Featured placement works the same way.
• We review listings after they go live. If we remove a listing for breaking these rules, we refund its fee automatically.
• If you withdraw a listing yourself, or it sells early, the fee is not refunded.
• Unpaid draft listings are deleted after about a week.

Messages between buyers and sellers

Buyer messages are forwarded to the seller by email with the buyer's address as the reply-to. Use them only to discuss the listing. Spam, harassment or scam attempts will get an account closed.

Staying safe

Inspect equipment and see it working, check route sales and location agreements, and never send a deposit to someone you have not met. Report suspicious listings through our contact page.

Our responsibility

The site is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses arising from listings, transactions between users, or the site being unavailable, and our total liability to you is limited to the fees you paid us in the previous twelve months.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. Questions: hello@vendingforsale.ca.
