SalvageSale Terms And Conditions

General Terms

These SalvageSale Terms and Conditions ("SalvageSale Terms") by and between you and the contracting entity outlined in Section 9.1 below (collectively, "RB Group") establish the terms of your use of RB Group's sites and services on the SalvageSale platform at www.salvagesale.com and www.salvagesale.co.uk (collectively, the "SalvageSale Marketplace") to list and sell or to bid on and purchase equipment, assets and other items ("Equipment").

1.  Services of RB Group. Under the terms of this agreement ("Agreement"), RB Group offers you the use of the SalvageSale Marketplace, which functions as a platform on which a seller ("Seller") can list and advertise Equipment for sale to a potential buyer ("Buyer"). RB Group is not involved in the actual transaction between Buyers and Sellers, we are - other than an escrow agent - not an agent of the Buyer or Seller, and we do not take title to the Equipment at any point of the sales process. Any agreement reached between a Buyer and Seller with respect to the terms of sale for Equipment is solely between such Buyer and Seller. As a result, we have no control over and do not guarantee the quality, safety, or legality of listed Equipment, the truth or accuracy of Seller's listings, the ability of Sellers to sell Equipment, the ability of Buyers to pay for Equipment, or that a Buyer or Seller will actually complete a transaction.

Each Buyer and/or Seller may enforce these SalvageSale Terms against the other party as if it had been agreed directly between the Buyer and Seller themselves.

4.  PAYMENT.

4.1  Invoice and Payment. At the conclusion of a Listing and upon the selection of the winning bid by the Seller, the SalvageSale Marketplace will generate a third-party invoice that is issued to the Buyer on the Seller's behalf. In jurisdictions where VAT or other indirect taxes apply, the Seller shall raise a VAT compliant (if applicable) invoice directed to the Buyer(s) upon instruction of RB Group. The invoice shall be made available to RB Group. Notwithstanding the transaction between Seller and Buyer, Seller shall raise a VAT compliant invoice directed to the RB Group upon instruction of RB Group if the Equipment at the time of the sale is located in one of the following countries: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Canary Islands, Sweden or the UK, where RB Group applies Article 14.2.c of the Directive 2006/112/EG. The Buyer is responsible for paying the Seller the purchase price for the Equipment. In connection with the Buyer's purchase, the Buyer will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address, credit card information, or routing and account numbers for payments by electronic funds transfer either to RB Group or its third-party payment processor(s). The Buyer agrees to pay RB Group for any purchases made in connection with the Buyer's account in accordance with these SalvageSale Terms by credit card or electronic funds transfer. The Buyer hereby authorizes the collection of such amounts by charging the credit card provided or by processing an electronic funds transfer utilizing the routing and account number provided, either directly by RB Group or indirectly, via a third-party online payment processor. If the Buyer is directed to RB Group's third-party payment processor(s), the Buyer may be subject to terms and conditions governing use of that third party's service and that third party's personal information collection practices. Please review such terms and conditions and privacy policy before using the services.

4.2  Payment of Proceeds and Escrow. The Seller hereby instructs RB Group, as an escrow account holder, to facilitate receipt of the purchase price. Further, the Seller hereby grants RB Group the right, in its own name, to enforce the Seller's right to payment. The Seller agrees that no monies shall be payable to the Seller until (a) such monies are paid by the Buyer to RB Group, (b) where applicable, a proper invoice, raised by Seller, has been received by RB Group, (c) the Equipment has been collected by the Buyer, and (d) no claims or dispute has been raised in accordance with these SalvageSale Terms. Once received by RB Group, any monies due to the Seller, net of any commissions and fees due to RB Group as detailed in this Agreement, shall be disbursed within fifteen (15) business days of the invoice date. The Seller hereby consents to RB Group's right to offset any other commissions and fees specified in this Agreement or that result from additional services requested by the Seller, with any remainder to be paid within fifteen (15) days following receipt of an invoice. The Seller acknowledges that the Buyer may fail to perform or pay on a timely basis and that RB Group shall not have any liability to the Seller for any act or omission of the Buyer. With respect to instructions regarding the funds held by RB Group as an escrow agent, you agree that RB Group may rely on any written instrument or e-mail reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper party or parties, their officers, representatives or agents. Any interest on funds in escrow accrues to RB Group.

5.  PICK-UP OF EQUIPMENT; RISK OF LOSS.

5.1  Storage and Removal of Equipment. The Seller shall provide storage for the Equipment and provide access to the storage location in order to support the pick-up of the Equipment by the Buyer. Upon RB Group's receipt of full payment, a proper invoice and the Buyer's completion of any additional, required documents, both Seller and Buyer will be notified that the Equipment if available for pick-up via an email that is generated automatically by the SalvageSale Marketplace ("Item Release"). The Buyer is responsible for dismantling, loading and shipping the Equipment for transportation, unless otherwise noted in the Listing. The Buyer shall remove the Equipment from Seller's premises no later than eight (8) business days after availability of the Item Release unless otherwise stated in the Listing (the "Pick-up Date"), after which the Buyer may be responsible for payment of Storage Fees, and in some cases payment of cost to transport Equipment to an alternate location, as detailed on the SalvageSale Marketplace and incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise noted in the Listing, standard Storage Fees are 25.00 per day, beginning on the ninth (9th) day after availability of the Item Release, with the total amount not to exceed 1,500.00. Any claims of material shortages in quantity or other material discrepancies of the goods from their posted description must be communicated to RB Group prior to 5:00pm (time zone of pick up location) on the business day immediately after the pick-up date. After such time, Buyer will have no rights to make any claims regarding material shortages in quantity or other material discrepancies of the goods from their posted description.

5.2  Equipment Availability. The Seller agrees to have the Equipment available for transportation, complete with ignition key, if applicable, to the Buyer no later than one (1) business day after the Buyer is deemed the winning bidder. If the Equipment is not available, the Seller may be subject to pay a post-closing delay fee ("Post-Closing Delay Fee"). The Post-Closing Delay Fee includes, but is not limited to, transportation cancellation or re-scheduling fees, transportation delay fees, hourly or daily average rental cost of equivalent replacement equipment for the Buyer, including loading, unloading and transportation costs. RB Group may assess the Post-Closing Delay Fee at its discretion. Further, if the Seller fails for any reason to release the Equipment to the Buyer once an Item Release is provided, the Seller will be subject to a seller default fee ("Seller Default Fee") in addition to any other rights or remedies that RB Group or the Buyer may have. The Seller Default Fee will be equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the purchase price, plus the commission due to RB Group and any costs incurred by the Buyer and validated by RB Group. If the Buyer notifies RB Group that the Seller does not make the goods available by the scheduled Pick-Up Date, RB Group will notify both parties and refund the purchase price to the Buyer within ten (10) days after RB Group sends the notice, if the parties cannot agree to a pick-up schedule.

5.3  Failure to Pick Up. If the Seller notifies RB Group that the Buyer has failed to pick up the goods or assume control by the Pick-Up Date, the Buyer will be placed in Default, and will be subject to the Buyer Default Penalty and rules outlined above. In addition to the Buyer Default Penalty, the defaulting Buyer may be subject to other claims, damages or liabilities to the Seller and/or RB Group; such as storage fees, administrative fees, the amount of any reduction in sales price upon resale of the goods by the Seller, and any applicable fines. Pending payment of the Buyer Default Penalty and any other assessed claims, damages, liabilities, and fees, the defaulting Buyer will be barred from bidding on any other listings on this and any other affiliated website operated by RB Group. RB Group reserves the right to withhold any default penalties and other applicable charges from monies previously paid by the Buyer, at RB Group's sole discretion. RB Group reserves the right to use a collection agency to collect any outstanding fees and penalties, and to report any unpaid payments to credit reporting agencies.

5.4  Abandoned Equipment. Unless otherwise stated in the Listing, the Buyer's failure to claim and remove Equipment within sixty (60) days following the Item Release is deemed to be evidence of the Buyer's intention to abandon the Equipment, and RB Group on behalf of Seller may take action that is adverse to the Buyer's interest in the Equipment, including, but not limited to, any appropriate steps under the law to dispose of the Equipment. RB Group's Abandonment Policy is located at http://ironplanet.com/main/abandonment.jsp and is hereby incorporated by reference.

5.5  Risk of Loss. The responsibility and risk of loss for Equipment shall be and remain with the Seller (and not RB Group or the Buyer) until the earlier of: (a) the removal of the Equipment from the posted Equipment location by the Buyer or the Buyer's designated transportation provider or (b) receipt by the Seller of all proceeds from the sale of Equipment. Thereafter, the Equipment shall be and remain at the risk of the Buyer or the Buyer's designated transportation provider (and not RB Group or the Seller). Unless otherwise dictated in the Agreement, RB Group has no obligation to maintain insurance coverage pertaining to the Equipment in the possession of RB Group for purposes hereunder.

6.  TITLED EQUIPMENT.

6.1  Titled Equipment. If selling titled Equipment, the Seller must provide RB Group with the original copy of each title in advance of RB Group making the Listing available on the SalvageSale Marketplace. RB Group will release the original title to the Buyer within fifteen (15) days of the Buyer being declared the winning bidder and after payment from the Buyer is received by RB Group. Not all transactions will result in a title transfer, and Buyers should review the Listing to determine whether a title transfer is applicable. In lieu of titles, certain transactions may result in the Seller providing a bill of sale to the Buyer. The Buyer is responsible for providing an executed document from the Buyer, executed by the Buyer and Seller, along with any other additional documentation which might be required, including, but not limited to, a fully executed equipment sales agreement and export documentation in order to obtain the bill of sale. Buyers are encouraged to review the Listing details to understand the necessary requirements which must be met before a bill of sale would be provided. RB Group may charge the Seller a title transfer fee equal to 70.00 per piece of Equipment requiring titles.

6.2  The Seller represents and warrants that (a) the Seller is the registered owner of the titled Equipment according to the applicable motor vehicle registry in the appropriate jurisdiction; and (b) if the Seller is unable to provide an original copy of each title, the Seller has undertaken their best efforts to locate or produce a duplicate title.

7.  TAXES.In any transaction on the SalvageSale Marketplace, Buyer and Seller are responsible for determining whether sales, use, value added tax (VAT), Impuesto al Valor Agregado tax (IVA), goods and services tax (GST), transfer, ad valorem or other similar taxes of any taxing authority apply to the transaction and to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. Unless otherwise agreed with the Seller, RB Group is not obligated to determine whether any such taxes apply and is not responsible for collecting, remitting or reporting any such taxes arising from any transaction. Invoices to Buyers may contain tax. When tax is due, Buyer is required to remit the stated tax. Failure to pay tax will result in Buyer being placed in default. Where applicable, all sums payable by one party to the other under the Agreement are exclusive of any VAT chargeable on any supply to which such sums relate and an amount equal to such VAT shall, in each case, be paid by the party making such payment on receipt of a proper VAT invoice.

8.  BIDDING PROCEDURES FOR SALES ON THE SALVAGESALE MARKETPLACE.The bidding procedures set forth below are the rules that govern the SalvageSale Marketplace. In addition, you are subject to the listing terms for any specific Listing on the SalvageSale Marketplace for which you submit bids. In case of any conflict between the listing terms of any specific items or lots and these SalvageSale Terms, the specific listing terms shall control.

8.1  Sale Formats. RB Group has four offering formats on the SalvageSale Marketplace which are explained below:

8.1.1  Sealed Bid. Buyers submit bids for listed items prior to the set ending time for the sale. Buyers are provided their rank position for the offering and may enter subsequent bids that are higher than their current high bid. Bid amounts are not disclosed to other Buyers. For any completed sale, the final purchase price and winning Buyers are confidential and will not be publicly released on the SalvageSale Marketplace.

8.1.2  Make Offer. Buyers bid on the Equipment and the bid is a binding offer to purchase the Equipment if (a) the bid meets or exceeds the minimum price as established by the Seller; (b) the bid is accepted by the Seller; or (c) the Seller proposes a counter offer and you accept. Otherwise, a Buyers obligation to complete the transaction will expire two (2) business days after it was submitted or upon acceptance of another bid by the Seller, whichever occurs first. There is no definitive closing time for the sale unless such a time is specified in the Listing. For any completed sale, the final purchase price and winning Buyers are confidential and will not be released to other parties.

8.1.3  Buy Now. Buyers may purchase an item at a fixed price that is published with the Listing. For any completed sale, the Buy Now is disclosed, but the winning Buyer is confidential and will not be publicly released on the SalvageSale Marketplace.

8.1.4  Online Auction. Buyers bid on the Equipment and the bid is a binding offer to purchase the Equipment if you are the highest bidder and have met or exceeded the applicable opening bid at close of the auction. For any completed sale, the winning bid is disclosed, but the winning Buyer is confidential and will not be publicly released on the SalvageSale Marketplace..

8.2  How Time Extension Works. Sealed Bid, Make Offer and Online Auction Listings will have a bid extension interval function. This interval will vary and will be published in the Listing. Any market leading bid, or bid that matches the market leading bid, placed within the bid extension interval just before a Listing's scheduled ending time will cause the Listing's ending time to be extended. The new closing time will be established by adding the bid extension interval to the time of the market leading bid. There is no limit to the number of times a Listing may be extended in this situation. This feature is also known as "extended bidding", "dynamic close" and "overtime".

8.3  How Bid Selection Works. Every Sealed Bid and Make Offer listing uses one of two possible bid selection methods. The bid selection method and process will be described in the Listing for each piece of Equipment. In each method, once a winning bid is selected, that Buyers will be emailed an invoice by RB Group within twenty-four (24) hours, at which time the Seller and winning Buyer are obligated to complete the transaction. These methods include:

8.3.1  Seller Bid Select. The Seller will select the winning bid after the conclusion of a Listing period, which may or may not be the highest bid, or may reject all bids. The amount of time allotted to the Seller to review and select or reject bids will usually be included in the lot terms.

8.3.2  Seller Bid Select with Asking Price. With a Make Offer format, an asking price ("Asking Price") will be published to the Buyer. If a lot is listed with an Asking Price, the Seller is not obligated to sell for any bid received below that price. When the Asking Price has been met, the highest bid at close of the Listing period will automatically be selected by the Seller. If the Asking Price is not met the Seller reserves the right to select a winning bid, which may be lower than the Asking Price, or the Seller may reject all bids. The amount of time allotted to the Seller to review and select or reject bids will usually be included in the Listing.

8.4  Changes to a Listing. Once a Listing has been made public, the Seller may not change the Listing without RB Group's approval. In very limited circumstances, RB Group may permit Sellers to add additional non-material descriptive information, such as pictures or text, or correct inaccuracies, which do not materially change the original listing. If material changes are needed to correct inaccuracies in a Listing, however, the Listing will be terminated and subsequently re-listed as appropriate.

8.5  Non-Retractable Bids. Bids are not retractable except in extraordinary circumstances such as when a clear typographical error is made. Buyers should carefully review their bids prior to submitting them. If a clear typographical error is made, the Buyer must immediately notify RB Group, via the Contact Us page or by phone. Notifications must be received no later than one hour after the erroneous bid is placed. RB Group reserves the right to approve or deny any bid retraction requests and retraction may result in default proceedings against the Buyer

8.6  Binding Bids. Bids made by Buyers on listed items are binding. At the end of a Listing period, if (a) Buyer is the highest bidder and has met or exceeded the applicable opening bid in an Online Auction or (b) a Buyer's bid is selected by the Seller in a Sealed Bid, Make Offer or Buy Now sale format, the winning Buyer is obligated to complete the transaction. Buyers agree that bidding for items listed for sale on the SalvageSale Marketplace is the legal equivalent of a firm purchase order. Buyers are obligated to complete transactions on all winning bids awarded to them. If a Seller chooses not to select a winner on any individual lot, Buyers are still obligated to complete transactions on all lots they were awarded.

8.7  Bids. RB Group is the final judge for the determination of winning bids. After the winning bid is established by RB Group and the winning bid is accepted by the Seller, a binding obligation to purchase and sell between Buyer and Seller is automatically created ("Binding Obligation").

You and Seller will be notified of the conclusion of the Binding Obligation by an email or other notification that is generated automatically by the Marketplace. RB GROUP DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT BIDS PLACED ON THE MARKETPLACE WILL BE RECEIVED AND PROCESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER. RB Group reserves the right to reject or void any bids which RB Group believes have not been made in good faith, are intended to manipulate the bidding process, or are prohibited either by applicable law or the listing terms for such Equipment. RB Group reserves the right to withdraw, postpone or cancel any listing, or any sale that results from a listing, in its own discretion, with or without notice. RB Group shall have no liability to you as a result of any withdrawal, postponement or cancellation.

8.9  Fair Bidding and Listing Practices. Sale price manipulation of any kind by users is strictly prohibited, including, without limitation, bidding through a secondary account or other party, by communicating with other Buyers, or by shill bidding. Buyers or Sellers who do not act in good faith or otherwise subvert the integrity of the SalvageSale Marketplace are subject to suspension or termination.

8.10  Collection of Statistics on Buyer Performance. As part of RB Group's monitoring of the SalvageSale Marketplace, RB Group collects statistics on each Buyer's bidding activities to determine such Buyer's performance history on this and other RB Group affiliated websites. Such statistics may include the number of completed transactions by a Buyer, failures or late funding of the purchase price, and taking late delivery of purchased goods. RB Group reserves the right to allow Sellers to access such statistics collected on a Buyer who bids on a specific item.

8.11  Pre-Qualified Buyer. Sellers may choose to limit a designated Listing to pre-qualified Buyers who will be required to place a specified amount on deposit with RB Group. Prior to the sale start, Buyers may be required to pay this deposit amount to RB Group by credit card or other approved methods. Only pre-qualified Buyers will be allowed to place bids during the sale. At the end of the Listing period, if deposits were provided, RB Group will promptly cancel the deposit charge on the credit cards of the Buyers who were not selected or declared the winning bidder. If the winning Buyer for a Listing defaults by failing to pay the agreed purchase price and other fees, the deposit amount of such Buyer will be forfeited and the Seller may exercise such other rights and remedies as are available under applicable law. In the event of such default, to the extent that the Buyer Default Penalty described above exceeds the deposit amount, RB Group will be authorized to charge such excess amount on the defaulting Buyer's credit card.
