TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE BY ONLINE AUCTION 1. The terms and conditions set out in this document set out your obligations when participating in and bidding at Auction. It also sets out our obligations to you. By participating in the Auction and placing a bid you are taken to have agreed to these terms and conditions. 2. Bidders must register by providing name, address, email, phone number and valid credit card. A registration fee may be required. By registering online, the Bidder acknowledges and agrees to these Terms & Conditions of Sale. If your account is disabled by us then you may not re-register. 3. We use the Auction Flex/HiBid online auction software system (HiBid). If you choose to bid online you also agree to be bound by the HiBid terms and conditions (a copy of which can be found in the "Terms of Use" and "Bidder User Terms" on our website). To the extent there is any inconsistency between the terms and conditions the laws of Australia will prevail. 4. The highest Bidder will be the Purchaser unless otherwise determined by the Auctioneer. Bidders are unable to retract bids. This includes Autobids which cannot be altered or withdrawn once placed. Where a bid or Autobid is placed for an amount equal to an existing bid then the existing bid will take precedence. 5. When you make a bid you are offering to buy the item you bid on at the price you bid and pay any applicable additional charges, fees and taxes. 6. If at any time the cumulative value of your bids reaches an initial threshold of $40,000, then a deposit of 25% becomes immediately payable and will be charged to your credit card. If the cumulative value of your bids reaches a further threshold of $80,000, then a further deposit of an additional 15% becomes immediately payable and will be charged to your credit card. If the credit card charges are declined and you have not already made arrangements for payment with the Auctioneer, then all of your bids will be cancelled without notice. If you are not the winning bidder then your deposits will be refunded in full. 7. If you bid at an online auction using Autobid, you are responsible for monitoring the online auction in which you are participating and instructing Autobid with your bids. 8. Bids placed on the website can either be at one bid increment above the current bid amount or at a greater amount. 9. Each auction will have a set commencement and conclusion time, as well as a minimum starting price. 10. The auction closes at the end of the time specified for that lot and where there are no new successful bids in the closing time of the auction. This is typically the last 60 seconds of the sale but may vary from auction to auction and will be specified on the Lot Details page if there is any variation. If there are any successful bids on a particular lot within the hot time, the countdown timer will be reset. When an auction is live the Auction Detail page will refresh the current bid amount and estimated closing time every few seconds. Some variation in the "Closing time" will be experienced. This may due to your connection to our server and consequently we accept no responsibility for consequences resulting from this variation. We highly recommend not attempting to place a bid at the last second. 11. When an online auction in which you have participated closes and you are the Winning Bidder, we will attempt to notify you by email. However, you remain solely responsible for monitoring the status of any online auction in which you participate and non-receipt of a Winning Bidder (or any other) email from us will not reduce or release you from your obligation to complete the purchase of the auction sale item. 12.
