By accessing and using the Website and Services, User acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. 1.3 If User is a corporation or other distinct commercial and/or legal entity, User represents that they have the authority to bind such entity to this Agreement, in which case the terms "User" shall refer to such entity. If User lacks such authority, or if User does not agree with any of the terms of this Agreement, User must not accept this Agreement, and is prohibited from accessing and using the Website and Services. User acknowledges that this Agreement is a contract between User and Makruuh Comics, even though it is electronic and is not physically signed executed by User, and it governs User's use of the Website and Services. 2. Billing and Payments 2.1 User shall pay all fees or charges to User's account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable, as determined by Makruuh Comics in its sole discretion. 2.2 Purchases made by User (the "Purchases") shall result in an invoice being sent to User's email address of record (an "Unpaid Invoice") for the quantum of User's purchases (and any other fees/charges referred to in this Agreement) and following the conclusion of the relevant Makruuh Comics HiBid auction (each, an "Auction"). 2.2.1 All dollar amounts indicated on the Website and/or on an Unpaid Invoice are in the currency of Canada (CAD). It is the sole responsibility of the User to ensure that payments are made in CAD. Users expressly acknowledge that it may not be apparent to Makruuh Comics if a payment is made in a currency other than CAD. Should User pay an Unpaid Invoice in USD, it is the sole responsibility of that User to inform Makruuh Comics of the same. Upon being so notified, Makruuh Comics may make commercially reasonable efforts to, in its sole discretion, either return the resulting overpayment (calculated by Makruuh Comics, in its sole discretion) (the "Overpayment") to User, or to credit the User the Overpayment at a future Auction, in both cases, after deducting PayPal and/or currency conversion fees. 2.3 HST shall be charged to User, and shall be calculated on the sum total of the Purchases, shipping/handling charges, and buyer's premium. 2.4 User shall pay Unpaid Invoices in full, IMMEDIATELY upon receipt of each Unpaid Invoice, and in any event, no later than twenty-four (24) hours following the receipt of the same (the "Payment Deadline"). 2.5 Canadian Users may pay Unpaid Invoices via e-transfer, or through PayPal. US Users must pay via PayPal. For clarity, direct CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS ARE NOT ACCEPTED AT THIS TIME. More detailed instructions for making said payments shall be included on the Unpaid Invoice. 2.5 If User fails to pay in full an Unpaid Invoice by the Payment Deadline, and addition to other remedies available to Makruuh Comics by law and/or under this Agreement, Makruuh Comics may take steps to downgrade User's HiBid rating, cancel the Purchases and/or take steps to ban User from using the Website and/or Services, and/or may engage a debt collection agency to recover the value of the Unpaid Invoice, in addition to any fees assessed by such service provider or agency. 2.6 If in, the sole discretion of Makruuh Comics, the Purchase(s) constitute a high-risk transaction, Makruuh Comics may require User to provide a copy of User's valid government-issued photo identification, and/or a copy of a recent bank statement for the credit or debit card used for the Purchase(s). 2.7 Makruuh Comics reserves the right to change products and product pricing at any time, and also reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order by User. Makruuh Comics may, in its sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address.

Makruuh Comics' representations re comics 9-1.1 Makruuh Comics may, at its sole discretion, provide subjective evaluations / characterizations of the condition of particular lots, and represents that, in such cases, it shall take commercially reasonable efforts to accurately characterize the condition of each comic (or set of comics constituting a lot) to the best of its ability, 9-1.2 Without limiting the generality of subsection 9-1.1, any adjectives used by Makruuh Comics on the Website to describe the condition or "grade" of an item (e.g., as "low grade", "mid grade" or "high grade", or any abbreviation, combination or variation thereof) are subjective only, and are to be regarded by User neither as a warranty, nor as an accurate and/or professional estimation of the condition or "grade" of said item. 9-1.3 With respect to lots containing more than one comic, and unless expressly stated otherwise, any adjectives used in the description of said lots to describe the comics contained therein shall be regarded by the User as a subjective evaluation of the average condition of the comics constituting the lot. 9-1.4 Unless expressly stated otherwise, the comic(s) pictured in each lot on the Website are the exact comic(s) that User is bidding on. For clarity, winning bidders will be sent THE COMIC(S) PICTURED, IN THE CONDITION PICTURED. 9-1.4.1. Notwithstanding subsection 9.-1.4, above, Makruuh Comics undertakes to, if possible (i.e., without damaging the comic(s) in question, the risk of which shall be determined by Makruuh Comics, in its sole discretion) freshly "bag and board" each comic appearing in a lot comprised of only one (1) comic, whether or not the picture(s) of that lot depict a "bagged and boarded" comic. Lots comprised of more than one comic may or may not be "bagged and boarded", and User should expect to receive the comics comprising said lot as they appear in the photos and/or description accompanying said lot. 9-1.5 Should there be comics that have major defects that are known to Makruuh Comics but not otherwise apparent in the picture(s) posted in respect of the lot in question, Makruuh Comics shall take commercially reasonable efforts to describe said major defects in the lot description and/or provide picture(s) of said major defects. 9-1.6 Unless expressly stated otherwise in the relevant lot description(s), any labels, stickers, etc., that appear on any comic(s) posted to the Website by Makruuh Comics, appear on the sleeve protecting the comic, and not on the comic itself. At times, a sleeve containing a comic may itself be scuffed, warped or otherwise damaged. 9-1.7 In cases where a lot contains one (1) or more professionally graded comics (i.e., by CGC, CBCS, PGX, etc.), ("each, a "Slab") Makruuh Comics shall not be regarded as endorsing the grade assigned to the comic encapsulated in the Slab. Makruuh Comics shall take commercially reasonable efforts to identify and describe defects known by Makruuh Comics on Slabs posted to the Website, (e.g., scratches, "Newton Rings", cracks, etc.). 9-1.8 Any screenshots from third-party websites included as one (1) or more images in a lot (e.g., that concern the description of the comic(s), or their valuation, etc.), are provided by Makruuh Comics for information / reference purposes only, and shall be regarded by User neither as an endorsement of the information contained therein, nor as an accurate description or valuation of the comic(s) constituting the lot. 9-1.9 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, User acknowledges that Makruuh Comics has not examined any of the items posted for bidding on the Website for wet cleaning, colour-touch, re-stapling, married cover(s), trimming, gluing or re-gluing, taping and/or glue repairs, leaf-casting, tape or glue residue, or any other subtractive, additive or destructive modification to a comic (these practices, and those akin thereto, hereafter referred to collectively as "Restoration"). For clarity, Makruuh Comics expressly disclaims any representations, express or implied, relating to Restoration, or lack thereof, of any type, on any comic posted to the Website for auction. By placing a bid on the Website, User acknowledges that the detection of Restoration is not an obligation of Makruuh Comics, and in the event of a successful bid, shall purchase the comic(s) strictly in an "as is" condition. 9-1.10 For clarity, the responsibility for evaluating the condition and/or fitness of purpose and/or value of the comic(s) comprising a lot posted on the Website, rests solely on the User. Should the information, pictures, etc., provided by Makruuh Comics in respect of a particular lot not meet User's standards with respect to making a decision on whether or not to bid on a lot, User shall not bid on said lot. 9-1.11. Notwithstanding subsections 9-1.6 and 9-1.10, above, User may contact Makruuh Comics by email, and request additional photos and/or information regarding the comic(s) in question, in respect of which, Makruuh Comics may, elect to in its sole discretion, respond to User by reply email and/or by positing additional pictures and/or information on the Website. 9-1.12. For clarity, each of the subsections comprising this Section 9-1, or any other express or implied representations / warranties of Makruuh Comics that may appear elsewhere in this Agreement, are subject to the disclaimers and limitations on liability set out in Sections 10 and 11 of this Agreement, below. 9-2. Rules applicable to all Contests 9-2.1. Makruuh Comics may, in its sole discretion, offer various incentives to Users to encourage registration and/or bidding on the Website, which, if so offered, may take the form of a bidding or bidding-related contest (each, a "Contest"). 9-2.2 Makruuh Comics reserves the unqualified right to offer, amend, clarify or cancel any Contest posted on the Website, at any time, including during the course of a particular auction, without further notice to User, and to select a Contest winner on terms different from those expressly provided in respect of said Contest. User expressly disclaims any entitlement to challenge any such amendment, cancellation, or selection. 9-2.3 User's who have won a Contest shall be deemed to permit Makruuh Comics posting their HiBid username on the Website and/or in other Makruuh Comics promotional materials. Should a Contest winning User not want his/her username used for these purposes, User must notify Makruuh Comics of the same upon receiving notification from Makruuh Comics of the Contest win, and in which case Makruuh Comics may, in its sole discretion, select another winner for the Contest in question. 9-2.4 Unless expressly stated otherwise in the terms and/or conditions of a particular Contest posted to the Website (which are, in each case, incorporated by reference into this Agreement), User acknowledges that each Contest is offered on a "one time only" basis and is not ongoing, and shall not presume that said Contest will also be a feature of the next or any future Auctions. 9-3. Additional optional services offered by Makruuh Comics ancillary to the Services 9-3.1. In addition to providing the Services, as they are described in this Agreement, Makruuh Comics may also elect to offer User various additional services (as described in more detail in subsections 9-3.2. and 3, below, and referred to, collectively, as the "Additional Services"), for an additional fee, and to which the terms set out this Agreement, as applicable (including Sections 10 and 11, below) shall also apply. 9-3.2. Bagging/and boarding service Should User wish to have Makruuh Comics bag and board ("B&B") any one (1) or more comics that are comprised in the Purchases that are not already B&B (see subsections 9-1.4 and 9-1.4.1., above), User may elect to have Makruuh Comics B&B any such comic(s). Makruuh Comics shall charge a nominal fee to do so, the details of which (including quantum) shall be set out in more detail on the Unpaid Invoice in question. 9-3.3. Dry cleaning / pressing services, and notices to User in respect of the same 9-3.3.1. Should User wish to have Makruuh Comics "dry clean" and/or "press" (as those two terms are commonly understood in the comics enthusiast community, and hereinafter referred to as "C&P") any comic(s) that are comprised in the Purchases, User may elect to have Makruuh Comics C&P any such comic(s). Makruuh Comics shall charge a nominal fee to do so, the details of which (including quantum) shall be set out in more detail on the Unpaid Invoice in question. 9-3.3.2. Users considering C&P are hereby notified, and hereafter shall be deemed to be aware, that both dry cleaning and pressing processes pose inherent and, at times, unavoidable, risks, and instead of improving the condition of a comic, may adversely affect said condition. While Makruuh Comics shall endeavor to undertake any C&P requests with a level of care reasonably suited to the task(s), a comic may ultimately be damaged as a result of the C&P process. Should the latter occur, User expressly acknowledges that Makruuh Comics shall have no obligation to replace, refund, or "buy back" the adversely affected comic(s), and that all risks related to the C&P process are borne by solely by User. 9-3.3.3. Corresponding to subsection 9-3.3.2, above, User expressly acknowledges that Makruuh Comics neither offers nor provides any representations, warranties or guarantees with respect to the outcome of any comic(s) that User submits for C&P, and Makruuh Comics expressly disclaims any such guarantees or warranties. 9-3.3.4. For clarity, fees assessed to User for C&P services are non-refundable, even in cases where the outcome of the C&P services does not meet the standards and/or expectations of User. 10. Cancelling / changing bids 10.1 Subject to Section 10.2 below, should User, at any point after placing a bid, wish to change or cancel said bit, he or she shall notify Makruuh Comics by email forthwith, and provide reasons therefor (a "Cancellation Request"). Upon receiving a Cancellation Request, Makruuh Comics may, in its sole discretion, grant or refuse said request. 10.2 Cancellation Requests must be received by Makruuh Comics at least twelve (12) hours prior to auction close, and to preserve the integrity of the bidding process, shall not be accepted if received after this time. 10.3 Users acknowledge that Cancellation Requests may be made by other Users, and when honoured, that this may result in purchases that were not anticipated. For example, if a Cancellation Request is honoured, the User that had the second-place bid at the time, will then have the first-place bid. User expressly acknowledges that this may occur from time to time, and agrees to accept purchases arising therefrom. 11. Disclaimer of warranties 11.1. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, User agrees that the products purchased on the Website are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, and that use of the Website and/or Services is solely at the User's risk.

By registering for an Auction, User consents to receiving promotional and related emails from Makruuh Comics. Should User, at any time, wish not to be sent any such promotional materials, User may do so by stating such in a reply email to Makruuh Comics, at which point, Makruuh Comics shall remove User from its promotional email mailing list. 14.8.4.1. UNREAD is a positive attribute ONLY when applied to comic books (that you have more than one (1) copy of, and after having read the first). Conversely, UNREAD is a TERRIBLE attribute when applied to this Agreement, or any other similar agreements that you may enter into by clicking a "Have read and agree" box on the Website or on any other website. That said, and since you've actually read this far and carefully BEFORE registering for the relevant Auction, KUDOS to you! Enter "I READ IT ALL!" into the "Auctioneer's Notes" section on the registration pop-up, and Makruuh Comics will provide you with a crisp and UNREAD copy of Amazing Spider-man #800 upon receiving payment for your first Auction win! 14.8.4.2. If User does not respond in the manner described in subsection 14.8.4.1, and subject to subsection 14.8.4.3 below, User shall be deemed to have irrevocably relinquished their soul to Makruuh Comics, for use by Makruuh Comics for whatever purpose(s) Makruuh Comics deems fit, in its sole discretion, from the date of registration, to the end of time (if any). 14.8.4.3. HA HA! Just kidding! But hopefully you get our point. 14.8.5. Makruuh Comics shall not disclose any User' personal or contact information to any third party, without the express written consent of User, unless permitted by this Agreement or required by HiBid or by a court or local, provincial or federal authorities. 14.9. Regarding bids by Users with a "negative rating" 14.9.1. Users with a "negative rating" with HiBid shall not be permitted to post bids on any Auction, and their registration will be "permanently declined" by Makruuh Comics, UNLESS User provides Makruuh Comics with: 14.9.2. a list of the lots that User wishes to bid on, and limits bidding exclusively to such lots; and 14.9.1.1 deposit of an amount to be determined by Makruuh Comics, in its sole discretion (a "Deposit"). 14.9.2. Upon being provided with a Deposit, Makruuh Comics shall: 14.9.2.1. in the event that User wins one or more of said lots, apply the Deposit to the amount owing by User in respect of the relevant Auction. Should the quantum of the Deposit be less than the quantum of User's purchase(s), User shall provide Makruuh Comics with the outstanding amount, in the manner discussed under Article 2 - Payments of these Terms and Conditions. 14.9.2.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should User fail to remit 14.9.2.3. in the event that User has provided Makruuh Comics with a Deposit that exceeds the value of the Purchases, if any, made at the relevant Auction (each an "Excess Deposit"), Makruuh Comics shall expeditiously return the Excess Deposit to User, MINUS: 14.9.2.3.1 if the Deposit was provided via PayPal, any fees assessed by PayPal; or 14.9.2.2.2 if the Deposit was provided via email money transfer ("EMT"), any bank fees incurred by Makruuh Comics associated with returning the Excess Deposit to User via EMT. 15.
