To use the Services as a Seller or Buyer you must be 18 years of age or older, and to use the Services in any other capacity you must be 13 years of age or older. Minors under the age of majority in their jurisdiction but that are at least 13 years of age are only permitted to use the Services if the minor’s parent or guardian accepts these Terms on the minor’s behalf prior to use of the Services. Children under the age of 13 are not permitted to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.
USER ACCOUNTS
1. Creating and Safeguarding your Account. To use certain of the Services, you need to create an account (“Account”). You agree to provide us with accurate, complete and updated information for your Account. You can access, edit, terminate and update your Account as described on the Website. You are solely responsible for any activity on your Account and for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your password. We are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Account. You must immediately notify us at [email protected] if you know or have any reason to suspect that your Account or password have been stolen, misappropriated or otherwise compromised, or in case of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of your Account. You hereby agree that if you terminate your Account you shall remain liable for any outstanding obligations with respect to use of your Account prior to termination, including for any sales or purchases as applicable. In the event you are a Buyer and you terminate your Account after winning a bid on a Vehicle Offering but prior to paying the Full Purchase Amount, or otherwise purchase any other Offering but have not yet paid the purchase price for such other Offering, Company may, without any notice to you, rescind any and all outstanding purchases made by you that you have not paid for in full, including any purchased Vehicle Offerings or other Offerings. You agree not to create any Account if we have previously removed your Account, or we previously banned you from any of our Services, in each case unless we provide written consent otherwise.
2. Interactions with Users. You are responsible for your interactions with other users. Company reserves the right, but is not obligated, to monitor interactions between you and other users, and Company shall not be liable for your interactions with other users, or for any user’s actions or inactions.
AUCTION AND BIDDING PROCESS
1. Company is Not a Party to Sales Between Buyers and Sellers. The Services are a platform for Buyers and Sellers to connect with each other to engage in their own sales transactions for vehicles or certain other products or services. Accordingly, Company is not and shall not be a party to any sale contract or other transaction between a Buyer and a Seller. You agree that Company is not responsible for any breach or default by Seller or Buyer. Each Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Company’s assistance in negotiating a post-auction sale after the Auction Period will not in any way make Company a party to such sale or other transaction between Seller and Buyer.
2. Seller Obligations. Each Seller agrees to provide the information requested by Company in connection with an Offering, and to abide by the terms of the Seller Agreement that Seller enters into with Company with respect to any Offering. In the event of any conflict between any terms of the Seller Agreement and these Terms, the terms and conditions of the Seller Agreement shall supersede and control.
3. Buyer Due Diligence and Bidding Process.
  1. In order to bid for an Offering, a Buyer must satisfy all of Company’s Buyer registration requirements as set forth on the Website, and which Company may update from time to time. These requirements may include, but are not limited to (i) being at least 18 years of age, (ii) providing a government-issued form of identification (e.g. a copy of your driver’s license or passport), (iii) verifying your physical mailing address, telephone number and payment information, and (iv) verifying that you do not reside in, and are not related to the governments of, any country or jurisdiction under a U.S. embargo enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), or prohibited from a transaction via the Services pursuant to U.S. anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist, economic sanctions and asset control laws, or any other similar laws in any other applicable jurisdiction. If Buyer fails to satisfy Company’s registration requirements or provide any additional information or documentation requested by Company, Company may, in Company’s sole and absolute discretion, prevent Buyer from registering to bid for an Offering or cancel a Buyer’s winning bid.
  2. Each Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for any and all due diligence of the Offering that Buyer is interested in prior to bidding, including conducting in-person inspections and verifying (as applicable) the condition, authenticity, value, title, quality and description of the Offering, and the veracity of Seller’s representations related thereto. Company recommends that Buyer conduct an in-person inspection of the subject of the Offering, but this must be arranged between Buyer and Seller. Company has no obligation to organize any such inspection. To schedule a viewing with Seller of any Offering, please make the appropriate arrangements direct by using the “Schedule a Viewing” button found on the Vehicle Offering’s listing page.
  3. Additionally, Company may, from time to time, recommend third party inspection or shipping services through the Services. Each Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Company has no responsibility with respect to any services rendered by any third parties which may be recommended through the Services, including, without limitation, any third party inspection or shipping services recommended through the Services. Buyer acknowledges that Company may receive a share of sales or other compensation from any third party services offered through the Services.
  4. Company does not assume any obligation or responsibility for Buyer’s due diligence and has no obligation to undertake any inspection or take any action with respect to obtaining or verifying any information related to any Offering.
  5. Company may offer as part of the Services to provide a Buyer with Third Party Materials (as defined in Section 8.1) that contain a written condition report with respect to a Vehicle Offering. The provision of any such condition reports shall not be deemed to create representations or warranties of any kind, and in no event shall Company or any of its directors, employees, officers, agents or representatives have any liability or responsibility for any matters relating to or arising out of such condition reports and/or the condition of any Vehicle Offering, regardless of the content or omissions of, or any errors in, such condition reports, including the inclusion or omission of any discussion of repairs, damages, replacement parts or restoration.
  6. Company reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to reject any bid of a Buyer.
  7. Each bid submitted by a Buyer via the Services is binding on Buyer, and a Buyer may not retract a bid made via the Services without Seller’s agreement. The Offering shall be sold to the highest bidding Buyer exceeding any applicable reserve price at the end of the period when the Offering is made available for auction (the “Auction Period”), at which moment a binding contract of sale is made between Seller and such Buyer. Company is not a party to such contract of sale.
  8. Title to the Offering shall pass from Seller to Buyer when the Full Purchase Amount (as defined in Section 4.1) has been received by the Seller in cleared funds.
4. Buyer Credit Card Hold and Pre-Authorization. In order for a Buyer to register a bid for an Offering, Company may require a hold and pre-authorization to be placed on Buyer’s credit card from the date of the bid registration until the end of the Auction Period (a “Credit Card Hold”) in an amount of five percent (5%) of the bid, with the minimum amount being $2,500 USD. If a Buyer is not the winning bidder of the Offering, the Credit Card Hold will be removed from the credit card. If a Buyer is the winning bidder for the Vehicle Offering, Buyer will be required to pay the Full Purchase Amount in accordance with these Terms.
5. Buyer’s Service Fee. In each instance a Buyer purchases a Vehicle Offering through the Services, such Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall pay Company a service fee of five percent (5%) of the sale price of such Vehicle Offering, such percentage to be specified on the applicable Vehicle Offering listing, in addition to any applicable sales or use tax and any fees or duty due on the Vehicle Offering.
6. Vehicle Registration; Taxes and Related Fees; Export License.
  1. Each Buyer acknowledges that governmental laws may require that a Vehicle Offering be registered with applicable governmental authorities, and that a certificate of title may be, and often is, required in order to obtain such registration. Each Buyer agrees that it is Buyer’s sole responsibility to conduct its own independent investigation as to the registrability of the Vehicle Offering and any required registrations applicable under law.
  2. If Company does not collect sales tax and documentation or licensing fees or other fees on registrable Vehicle Offerings or a Buyer fails to remit such taxes or fees for any reason, such Buyer agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the payment of any and all sales or use tax arising from the sale and delivery of any Vehicle Offering purchased through the Services, as well as any required registration and related taxes, fees and documentation.
  3. Each Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is Buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any required licenses, permits or certificates of title to import/export a Vehicle Offering from or to any applicable jurisdiction, including with respect to the payment of any and all costs or fees related thereto.
  4. Each Buyer expressly acknowledges and agrees that Company shall be under no obligation to carry any insurance policy against risk of any loss, theft or damage to the Vehicle Offering at any time.
ORDERS FOR VEHICLES AND OTHER PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES
1. Payment. In addition to Vehicle Offerings, the Services may permit you to purchase certain other physical products or services through the Services, including products or services of Company (“Company Offerings” and together with the Company Offerings and Vehicle Offerings, the “Offerings”). You acknowledge and agree that all information you provide with regards to a purchase of Offerings, including, without limitation, credit card, PayPal, or other payment information, is accurate, current and complete. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use the payment method you provide, including, without limitation, any credit card you provide when completing a transaction. We reserve the right, with or without prior notice and in our sole and complete discretion, to (a) discontinue, modify, or limit the available quantity of, any Offerings, and (b) refuse to allow any user to purchase any Offering or, in the case of Company Offerings, deliver such Offerings to a user or a user designated address. When you purchase Offerings, you (i) agree to pay the price for such Offerings, including any deposits, fees or other costs, and all shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes in connection with your purchase (the “Full Purchase Amount”), and (ii) with respect to Company Offerings only, authorize us to charge your credit card or other payment method for the Full Purchase Amount. The Services may allow you to purchase Company Offerings and designate them to be delivered or provided at a future date. In such instance, with respect to such Company Offerings you acknowledge and agree that we may charge your credit card or other payment method for the Full Purchase Amount on the date of purchase, rather than on the ultimate date of delivery or provision of the applicable Company Offering.
2. Vehicle Offerings Payment and Delivery. With respect to Vehicle Offerings, unless otherwise agreed between Seller and Buyer, Buyer must pay the Full Purchase Amount to Seller within fourteen (14) business days of the close of the auction for such Vehicle Offering (the “Vehicle Offering Payment Deadline”) in accordance with the payment method details provided by Seller to Buyer at the close of such auction. Risk of loss in respect of a Vehicle Offering passes from Seller to Buyer at the time the Full Purchase Amount is paid to Seller in cleared funds, and neither Company nor any of its employees or agents shall be liable for loss or damages in respect of any Vehicle Offering at any time.
3. Fees. Unless otherwise noted, all currency references are in U.S. Dollars. All fees, deposits and charges are payable in accordance with payment terms in effect at the time the fee, deposit or charge becomes payable. Payment can be made by credit card, debit card, or through PayPal or other means that we may make available. Orders will not be processed until payment has been received in full, and any holds on your account by PayPal or any other payment processor are solely your responsibility.
4. Changes and Pricing; Returns and Rescission. We reserve the right to change prices for Company Offerings displayed on the Services at any time, and to change the reserve price for Vehicle Offerings displayed on the Services at any time at Seller’s request, and to correct pricing errors that may inadvertently occur (and to cancel any orders in our sole discretion that were purchased with pricing errors). All such changes shall be effective immediately upon posting of such new Offering prices to the Services and/or upon making Buyer aware of the pricing error (as applicable). If a Company Offering is not as described on the Services, your sole remedy is to return it (for physical products, in unused condition).
5. Company Offerings. Once we receive your order for a Company Offering , we will provide you with an order confirmation. Your receipt of an order confirmation, however, does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. We reserve the right at any time after receiving your order for a Company Offering to accept or decline your order for any reason and in our sole discretion. If we cancel an order after you have already been billed, then we will refund the billed amount.
6. No Delivery to Children. In furtherance of our policy of not collecting personal information from persons under the age of 13, users are not allowed to give the Company the personal information of any persons under the age of 13 for delivery or shipping purposes or any other reason.

Buyer hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Company Entities harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by Company Entities arising out of or in connection with (i) any failure to register a Vehicle Offering as may be required under applicable law, and (ii) any unpaid sales or uses taxes and any unpaid documentation and licensing fees and related costs, interest and penalties arising from the sale of a Vehicle Offering to a Buyer, and (iii) any Buyer-alleged damages or liabilities related to Section 4.4(b) (including, but not limited to, any expenses related to such concern of material misrepresentation raised by Buyer (e.g. repair, inspection, travel and storage expenses)).
ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
1. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
2. Informal Process First. You and Company agree that in the event of any dispute, either party will first contact the other party and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation, any court action, after first allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond. Both you and Company agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration against the other party.
3. Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver. After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to Company’s services and/or products, including the Services, and any use or access or lack of access thereto, will be resolved by arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the Claim. You and Company agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms). Because your contract with Company, these Terms and this Arbitration Agreement concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit. Arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis – class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You understand that by agreeing to these Terms, you and the Company are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or class arbitration.
4. Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and Company agree that the following types of disputes will be resolved in a court of proper jurisdiction:
  1. disputes or claims within the jurisdiction of a small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual dispute and not as a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding;
  2. disputes or claims where the sole form of relief sought is injunctive relief (including public injunctive relief); or
  3. intellectual property disputes.
5. Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator costs and expenses will be in accordance with the JAMS Rules, except that if you demonstrate that any such costs and expenses owed by you under those rules would be prohibitively more expensive than a court proceeding, Company will pay the amount of any such costs and expenses that the arbitrator determines are necessary to prevent the arbitration from being prohibitively more expensive than a court proceeding (subject to possible reimbursement as set forth below).
  
  Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Company for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the applicable rules. If you prevail in the arbitration and are awarded an amount that is less than the last written settlement amount offered by Company before the arbitrator was appointed, Company will pay you the amount it offered in settlement. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
6. Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to [email protected] or to the U.S. mailing address listed in the “How to Contact Us” section of these Terms. The notice must be sent to Company within thirty (30) days of your first registering to use the Services or agreeing to these Terms, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes on a non-class basis in accordance with these Terms. If you opt out of only the arbitration provisions, and not also the class action waiver, the class action waiver still applies. You may not opt out of only the class action waiver and not also the arbitration provisions. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Company also will not be bound by them.
7. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BRING CLASS ACTION AND REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Company each agree that any proceeding to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy will be brought and conducted ONLY IN THE RESPECTIVE PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS PART OF ANY CLASS (OR PURPORTED CLASS), CONSOLIDATED, MULTIPLE-PLAINTIFF, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING (“CLASS ACTION”). You and the Company AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION. You and Company EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY ABILITY TO MAINTAIN A CLASS ACTION IN ANY FORUM. If the dispute is subject to arbitration, THE ARBITRATOR WILL NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO COMBINE OR AGGREGATE CLAIMS, CONDUCT A CLASS ACTION, OR MAKE AN AWARD TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY NOT A PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION. Further, you and Company agree that the ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS FOR MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND IT MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CLASS ACTION. For the avoidance of doubt, however, you can seek public injunctive relief to the extent authorized by law and consistent with the Exceptions clause above.
  
  IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS LIMITED, VOIDED, OR FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, THEN, UNLESS THE PARTIES MUTUALLY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE NULL AND VOID WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING SO LONG AS THE PROCEEDING IS PERMITTED TO PROCEED AS A CLASS ACTION. If a court decides that the limitations of this paragraph are deemed invalid or unenforceable, any putative class, private attorney general, or consolidated or representative action must be brought in a court of proper jurisdiction and not in arbitration.

Termination will not limit any of Company’s other rights or remedies at law or in equity.
4. Injunctive Relief.

7. Miscellaneous.

These Terms and the licenses granted hereunder may be assigned by Company but may not be assigned by you without the prior express written consent of Company.

Those who choose to access the Services from locations outside the United States do so at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of laws rules, and the proper venue for any disputes arising out of or relating to any of the same will be the arbitration venue set forth in Section 10, or if arbitration does not apply, then the state and federal courts located in the Southern District of California. You and Company agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms.
