Frequently asked questions

What is an equipment purchase agreement?

An equipment purchase agreement is a written contract between a buyer and seller that sets out the terms for the sale of machinery or equipment in Australia, including the purchase price, condition, delivery terms, and any warranties.

Do I need a written contract to buy or sell equipment in Australia?

Yes. A written agreement protects both parties by documenting the agreed price, condition, and terms, and reduces the risk of disputes about what was promised.

What is the PPSR and why does it matter?

The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) lets a buyer check whether equipment has any existing security interests registered against it before completing the purchase, reducing the risk of buying encumbered goods.

Do the Australian Consumer Law guarantees apply to equipment sales?

If the buyer is a consumer, certain guarantees under the ACL, such as acceptable quality, generally cannot be excluded, even for used or as-is equipment sold by a business.

What does title transfer mean in an equipment purchase agreement?

Title transfer refers to the point at which legal ownership of the equipment passes from the seller to the buyer, usually tied to full payment or physical delivery.

Who is responsible for delivering equipment after a sale in Australia?

This depends on what the parties agree in the contract, which should state who arranges and pays for transport, loading and unloading, and when risk of damage passes to the buyer.

What should I check before signing an equipment purchase agreement in Australia?

Confirm the make, model, and serial number match the contract, run a PPSR search, check the seller has legal title to sell, and review any warranty and delivery terms.
