Online Auction Terms and Conditions.
Bidder, Seller/Owner, and Liquidations Enchere Ltd. agree that the terms and conditions listed below shall govern each online auction and the use of the site generally.
This auction will be conducted within the framework of the rules listed below plus and in addition to
any other provision that may be added by the Liquidations Enchere, Ltd. via e-mail or as posted http://www.liquidationsenchere.com/ (the “Site”).
1. All registration information the Bidder provides to Liquidations Enchere Ltd. must be current, complete, and accurate. If a Bidder’s information should change, Bidder agrees to update their information on the Site as soon as is practicable.
2. All Bidders must be 18 years of age or older. Bidder agrees to not use any device, software or routine to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Site generally and of or any transaction being conducted on and during the auction sale.
3. Access and use of the Site is subject to any and all specific terms and conditions set forth on any individual page within the Site and the terms and conditions set out on this page (collectively the “Terms and Conditions”) and all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to copyright and trademark laws. BY REGISTERING TO USE THIS SITE, YOU AGREE TO ACCEPT, WITHOUT LIMITATION OR QUALIFICATION, ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS and to comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding your use of this Site. Legal action will be taken against anyone violating the terms and conditions of the Terms and Conditions or any other applicable law or regulation. Liquidations Enchere, Ltd. (hereinafter “Liquidations Enchere) reserves the right to periodically change the terms and conditions of these Terms and Conditions and it is the Bidders’ responsibility to periodically review any and all changes made to these terms and conditions prior to each use of this Site. By registering to use this Site, you agree in advance to accept any such changes.
4. Bidders must register and receive of an e-mail confirmation from the Site prior to the auction event. This allows Liquidations Enchere to more accurately identify Bidders and avoid the possibility of fictitious bids. Bidders expressly authorize the Site to use their personal information in a matter consistent with the Site’s Privacy Policy.
5. Bidders declare that they comply with the provisions of Article L 642-3 of the French Commercial Code, and have no kinship or affinity, to the 2nd degree inclusive, direct or indirect, with any manager and associate of any company which is under collective procedure of redressement or liquidation judiciaire.
6. Conditional pro-forma invoices will be emailed to successful bidders within 8 hours of the close of the auction. The idea of the conditional pro-forma invoice is to inform the successful Bidder of the amounts payable by the Bidder in the event that the judge approves the bid. In addition, successive e-mails are also mailed to both the relevant Seller and Mandataire Judiciaire at the same time as the e-mail notification to the successful Bidder. Each invoice will state the full payment due, including the exact purchase amount due the Seller, any Online Auction Fee, (together the, “Bidders Bid Amount”), and any applicable sales tax due. Where applicable, sale taxes will be added to the purchase price of all taxable items. Collection of applicable taxes will be in accordance with the laws of the country where the purchased asset is located.
7. Bidder’s Bid Amount: The actual bid amount submitted by the Bidder online during the auction event. If a Bidder is determined to be the successful Bidder at the end of an auction, and said successful Bidder’s bid is subsequently accepted by the judge, (a “Judge Acknowledged Bidder”), it is the total amount this Judge Acknowledged Bidder is contractually obligated to pay. Sales tax, if applicable, will be payable in addition to the Bidder’s Bid Amount. The Bidder’s Bid Amount thus includes the Seller’s Purchase Amount described in paragraph 7 as well as the Online Auction Fee described below in paragraph 8.
8. Online Auction Fee: Following the approval of the winning bid by the judge, the Site will charge and collect from each successful Bidder an auction fee (the “Online Auction Fee”)for each item. The Online Auction Fee will become due and payable once the successful Bidder becomes a Judge Acknowledged Bidder. Bidders agree that the Online Auction Fee shall be paid within 7 days of the sale settlement date (i.e., the date on which the item(s) is/are to be paid for).
9. Seller’s Purchase Amount: An amount calculated by the Site based on the amount submitted on the Site by the Bidder during the auction, less any Online Auction Fees (see paragraph 8 above). Bidders agree to be bound by this Seller’s Purchase Amount and agree not to offer the Seller an amount greater than the Seller’s Purchase Amount without informing Liquidations Enchere in writing. The Seller’s Purchase Amount will be paid directly by the Bidder to the Mandataire or Liquidator Judiciaire who are acting on behalf of the bankrupt entity (the "Debiteur"). Under no circumstance, will this Seller’s Purchase Amount or any other amount be due by the Bidder directly to the Debiteur.
10. Retracting or Cancelling Bid. Subject to the exceptions set out below, Bidders can not retract or cancel a bid. When a Bidder places a bid, he/she agrees to pay for the item they are bidding for, provided that the judge accepts bidder’s bid..
The Bidder may retract a bid if one of the circumstances, as defined below, occurs and if Bidder retracts the bid within the specified time period.
Valid reasons for retracting a bid include:
- Bidder accidentally entered the wrong bid amount due to a typographical error.
- The item’s description changed significantly after the Bidder entered his/her last bid.
- Seller fails to respond to Bidders multiple attempts to communicate by telephone or e-mail.
- Mandataire and/or Judge fails to approve bid, and or/act on bid within the specified time period.
A Bidder’s bid is a serious engagement. A Bidder may not retract his/her bid due to Bidder simply changing his/her mind. Before bidding, Bidders must carefully review the listing for the item being bid for.
If a Bidder intends to retract a bid, the Bidder must review the conditions for retracting a bid. If the Bidder meets the conditions and understands the results of doing so, the Bidder must then fill out a Bid Retraction form. To retract a best offer, the Bidder must use the Best Offer Cancellation form.
11. Bidder will be suspended temporarily or permanently banned from the Site if he/she is found to have provided false information when registering on the Site, such as having provided a false name or incorrect contact information. A Bidder will be permanently banned from this Site if Bidder wins a bid and becomes a Judge Approved Bidder and then fails to honour his/her auction bid except in the approved situations described in paragraph 10 “Retracting or Cancelling Bid.” The use of e-mail addresses by Liquidations Enchere is strictly limited to using the addresses to contact Buyers and Sellers; any use of this private information by a Bidder (unless permitted in these Terms & Conditions) is strictly prohibited.
12. The payment by a Bidder for purchases must be made by credit card, bank wire transfer, or personal check as noted in a specific auction's terms and conditions. All sales are subject to appropriate Country Sales Tax laws. Bidder acknowledges and agrees not to retract the purchase offer (subject to bid retraction circumstances as set out in paragraph 10. above). The Bidder is responsible for making arrangements for merchandise removal once sale is settled.
13. The descriptions of items/lots appearing in the auction and in advertising prior to the auction are believed by Liquidations Enchere to be correct. Nevertheless, neither those descriptions nor any oral statements made by Owner/Seller, Liquidator Judiciare, or Liquidations Enchere concerning any item/lot shall be construed as a warranty by Liquidations Enchere either expressed or implied. ITEMS/LOTS ARE SOLD AS IS - WHERE IS and WITH ALL FAULTS. Bidder acknowledges that all items/lots were available for inspection prior to the auction and, by these terms, Liquidations Enchere, Liquidator Judiciaire and Owner/Seller strongly encouraged Bidder to carefully inspect each item/lot in which Bidder had any interest to determine the item/lot’s nature, quality, condition, quantity and size. Bidder acknowledges that he/she relied solely on his/her personal inspection and not on information listed on the Site or otherwise provided by Liquidations Enchere, Liquidator Judiciare or Owner/Seller. Subject to paragraph 10 above, Bidder’s failure to inspect, or otherwise be fully informed as to the nature, quality, condition, quantity and size of any item/lot will not constitute ground for any claim, adjustment, refund, termination of the contract for sale, or refusal to close the sale, against Liquidation Enchere or Owner/Seller.
