GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Operation of Site and Taxes.

The Site provides a hosted auction service that provides virtual venue for Sellers to offer goods, access to events, services, and other items of value (collectively, “Goods”) to willing Buyers for sale to the Buyer with the highest bid and for Buyers to bid on and purchase Goods (“Service”). The Service is offered through the Site and, if you choose, through Handbid’s mobile applications and related optional technology. Handbid® reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that Handbid® shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service. Handbid® is responsible for the operation of the Site and Service. Handbid® has no involvement in any transaction entered into, on or through the Site or Service, except that as a service to introduce the Buyer and Seller. If the Seller elects to use Handbid’s Integrated Payment system, Handbid® will process collection of the Total Purchase Price (as defined below) and remittance of the sale proceeds to the Seller.

Unless exempt by law, the successful Buyer may be required to pay the Seller or the applicable governmental tax collection entity or entities sales or use tax, or other applicable transactional tax, as determined by the Seller or applicable law. The Buyer may also be subject to a compensating use tax or other tax in his or her domicile. It is the Seller’s and the Buyer’s responsibility to determine whether taxes apply to the transactions and to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. Handbid® is not responsible or liable for any taxes or other assessment arising from any transaction between Buyers and Sellers, and Buyer and Seller are obligated to determine whether taxes apply and responsible for collecting, remitting or reporting any sales or use taxes arising from any transaction. You shall indemnify, defend, and hold Handbid® harmless from any damage, cost, expense or other liability arising out of or related to (a) any taxes or other fee imposed on any transactions you enter into through the Site or our services, (b) any sales, purchases, bids or other transaction you enter into or attempt to enter into through the Site.

The “Total Purchase Price” is defined as:

(a) the successful bid or purchase price for Goods, plus

(b) sales tax, use tax, GST, VAT, TVA or any other taxes that the Seller has instructed Handbid® to collect from the Buyer or that Handbid® is required to collect pursuant to applicable law, plus

(c) shipping costs and customs duties (if applicable), plus any transit insurance charges that the Seller has detailed for Handbid® to collect where necessary.

(d) plus any premiums or transaction fees that either the Seller has opted to collect or that the Buyer has opted to cover on behalf of the Seller.

Handbid® does not act as agent for either the Buyer or Seller for any purpose.

Handbid® is not responsible for estimates, descriptions, condition, authenticity, title and all other matters relating to the offer and sale of such Good. Information associated with Goods is entered by the donating parties and is accurate to the best ability of the donating participants.

Handbid® reserves the right to review and to change the “User Name” of any person registering to participate in any auction on this Site, at any time and for any reason, upon e-mail notice to such person.

Limitations of Guarantees.

Handbid® makes no representation or warranty whatsoever regarding Goods and hereby disclaims all warranties and representations of any kind regarding Goods, whether oral or written, express or implied, including without limitation, warranties as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibitions, literature or historical relevance of the Goods.

All Goods offered on this Site are sold subject only to the specific guarantees given by the Seller as to authenticity, description, and physical condition set forth in the sections captioned “category”, “description”, and “fine print (notables)” on the Item Description Page for the Goods located on the Site (“Seller Guarantee”). Goods offered on the Site are often of some age. Other than the Seller Guarantee, all Goods on the Site are sold “AS IS.” No other statement anywhere, whether oral or written, shall be deemed such a guarantee, warranty or representation. Please note that neither Handbid® nor the Seller make any representation or warranty as to whether the Buyer acquires any reproduction or other intellectual property rights in the property. Seller represents and warrants that all descriptions, guarantees, promises, and warranties regarding Goods, including the Seller Guarantee, are accurate and complete, and Seller agrees it is solely responsible for all statements and descriptions of or related to Goods.

No guarantee is made by the Seller with respect to information appearing in sections other than those listed in the previous sentence. Any information, photos, or additional detail about the Good is not guaranteed, and a sale is not subject to rescission in the event that any of this non-guaranteed information proves to be inaccurate. Photos of Goods may be representative and not be the actual Good.

When reviewing descriptions of Goods, you should bear in mind the age and past use of the Good and should assume that Goods may show signs of reasonable “wear and tear.” If you would like additional information as to the condition of a Good, you should contact the Seller prior to bidding on or making an offer to purchase the Good.

Handbid® , Apple Inc., Google Inc. are collectively not responsible for any incorrect or inaccurate content posted on the Site or in connection with the Service, whether caused by users of the Site, Buyers, Sellers or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Service. Handbid® is not responsible for the conduct, whether online or offline, of any user of the Site or Buyer or Seller of the Service. Handbid assumes no responsibility for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, communications line failure, theft or destruction or unauthorized access to, or alteration of, user or Buyer/Seller communications. Handbid®  is not responsible for any problems or technical malfunction of any telephone network or lines, computer online systems, servers or providers, computer equipment, software, failure of email or players on account of technical problems or traffic congestion on the Internet or at any Site or combination thereof, including injury or damage to users and/or Buyer/Seller or to any other person’s computer related to or resulting from participating or downloading materials in connection with the Web and/or in connection with the Service. Under no circumstances will Handbid® or any of its affiliates, advertisers, promoters or distribution partners be responsible for any loss or damage, including personal injury or death, resulting from anyone’s use of the Site or the Service, any content posted on the Site or transmitted to Buyers or Sellers, or any interactions between users of the Site, whether online or offline.

SMS Messages

Handbid Inc. sends text messages on behalf of our customers – providing login codes for mobile access, login-links for web access, out-bid alerts and other direct messages sent to you by the manager of any auction event that you register to bid in.

In order to receive text messaging you must opt-in by registering your number with us when creating a Handbid account. A text message will be sent to you with confirmation of your registration.

To discontinue receiving messages (opt-out), sign in to events.handbid.com and go to the My Data portion of your account profile (preferred), login to the mobile app and go to ALERTS/SETTINGS or send “STOP” to the number from which you received your message at any time. We will reply with a confirmation message that you will longer receive messages from us. To resume messages, text “START”.

Standard message and data rates may apply. Never will your number be shared with any Handbid customer who you do not register with. Moreover, it is a violation of Handbid’s policy with our Customers to allow them to use your number for any purpose outside of the use within the Handbid platform. Message frequency is based on your bidding an purchase activity and the Event Manager’s activity with you.

Messages may not be delivered to you if your phone is not in range of a transmission site, or if sufficient network capacity is not available at a particular time. Even within a coverage area, factors beyond the control of your wireless carrier may interfere with message delivery, including the customer’s equipment, terrain, proximity to buildings, foliage, and weather. You acknowledge that urgent alerts may not be timely received and that your wireless carrier does not guarantee that alerts will be delivered.

Auction Closing Times

Sellers may post on the Site an expected closing time for the auction.  Handbid is not responsible for the accuracy of this date and time. The Buyer (“You”) acknowledge that the Seller must manually start and stop their auction on Handbid and that this posted closing time may not be honored by the Seller; and the Seller may alter this time without an obligation to notify You in advance of such change.  In addition, the Buyer acknowledges that any bids placed just before the posted closing time are not guaranteed to be the winning bid if the auction does not close and higher bids are subsequently placed. Regardless of the situation that occurs with closing times, Buyer acknowledges that Handbid has no liability for inaccurate auction closing times posted.

Charitable Contributions

A charitable contribution is when you donate money (including securities or business ownership interests), goods or services to an organization and deduct the market value of this contribution on your income tax return.  Under no circumstances does Handbid acknowledge that any purchases made by Buyer (from Seller) via Handbid represent a charitable contribution based on this definition. Buyer also acknowledges that any purchases made via Handbid do not represent a charitable contribution based upon this definition, regardless of how it is represented by the Seller.  Finally, Seller acknowledges that any items sold through Handbid are not charitable contributions strictly based upon this definition and will advise the Buyer to consult with a tax advisor about the deductibility of any final sales.

Sole Remedy.

It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of a sale and refund of the Total Purchase Price is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy that might otherwise be available as a matter of law, or in equity. The Buyer shall not be entitled to any incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed.

Refusal of Transaction.

Handbid® reserves the right to withdraw any Goods before the end of the sale period, halt any sale during its progress, and/or remove, screen or edit any materials or content on the Site. Handbid® may also extend any sale or change the closing time for any sale. Handbid® may refuse to process a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time in its sole discretion. Neither Handbid® nor any of its affiliates will be liable to any Buyer, Seller or third party by reason of Handbid’s withdrawal of any Goods prior to the end of the sale period; halting any auction or sale during its progress; removing, screening or editing any materials or content on the Site; refusing to process a transaction; or unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun. In the event of failure of Buyer to complete a sale for any reason, including Handbid’s decision to refuse to process the transaction, Handbid® shall have the right to sell the property to the next highest bidder. In the event of similar bids, the earliest bidder at that level will be the successful Buyer. In all cases, Handbid’s determination of the successful Buyer will be final.

Monitoring.

Handbid® has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor any activity and content associated with the Site and Service. Handbid® may investigate any reported violations of the Site policies or complaints and take any action that it deems appropriate (which may include, but is not limited to, issuing warnings, suspending or terminating service, denying access and/or removing any materials on the Site, including listings and bids). Handbid® may also investigate, in its sole discretion, the use of any credit card by a user registered to buy on the Site, and take such action as Handbid® deems appropriate, including without limitation, contacting the individual using such card, canceling bids or an offer to purchase placed by such user, and/or deactivating a Buyer’s account.

Max Bids.

Bidders may place proxy bids in any auction running on the Site.  A bidder who places a proxy bid, also called a “MaxBid”, is guaranteed to win the item a the value of their proxy bid or less; unless either the Seller or Handbid determines otherwise.  Another bidder, who places a bid at the same amount of a previously placed proxy bid will not become the winner of that item. Only bids placed above a currently winning proxy bid shall prevail. Regardless of these rules, Handbid, at its sole discretion, can accept or reject any bid on the Site for any reason.

Last Second Bids.

Buyer may place bids up until the auction is closed by the system.  However, Buyer acknowledges that last second bids, especially those placed by MaxBid may not be properly registered upon auction close. Handbid encourages bids to be placed and MaxBids to be set well before the auction close time to ensure they are registered in the system.  In all cases Handbid has the right to determine the ultimate winner of the item.

Eligibility to Use Site.

Use of the Site is limited to parties that lawfully can enter into and form contracts and buy and sell on the Site under applicable law. For example, minors and persons and entities domiciled in jurisdictions where online auctions are prohibited are not allowed to participate in auctions either as Buyers or Sellers on the Site. Some Sellers may require you to provide valid credit card information in order to participate in their auction.

Colorado Plates Auctions

If you are participating in any License Plate Auction for the State of Colorado (“Colorado Plates”), then you are also subject to their specific terms of service.

Diamond Resorts International Auctions

Participation in the Diamond Resorts International Foundation online charity auction is only available to residents of the United States.

Compliance with Laws and Policies.

The Site may be used only for lawful purposes and in a lawful manner. You agree to comply with all applicable laws, statutes and regulations regarding use of the Site and any transactions conducted on or through the Site.

Handbid® may have other policies regarding the use of the Site and/or Service, such as acceptable use policies. You are responsible for abiding by any such policies that Handbid® advises you are applicable to use of the Site or Service.

Place of Contract; Disputes.

The contract between the Buyer and the Seller will be completed when the sale period for the Good ends, at which point the Buyer who agreed to pay the listed asking price or submitted the highest valid bid, received through the Service, will be the Buyer. While Handbid® is located in Colorado, the sale between Buyer and Seller is presumed to take place in the state where the Seller is located. Handbid® reserves the right to reject any bid or offer to buy at any time. In the event of identical bids or offers, the first bid or offer received by Handbid® will take precedence. In the event of any dispute between potential Buyers, or in the event of doubt as to the validity of any bid or offer, Handbid® will have the final discretion to determine the successful Buyer. If any dispute concerning bidding or any offer to purchase arises after the sale, Handbid’s determination is conclusive. Please note that Handbid® is not responsible for errors or omissions in connection with the transmission of bids or offers to the Site (including without limitation your receipt of emails regarding the status of a bid, offer, Good or purchase), nor for any on-line or other charges you may incur in connection with participating in a sale.

Password and PIN Security.

Your password may be used only to access the Site, use the services available on the Site, electronically sign your transactions and review your completed transactions. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your password. You may not disclose your password to any third party (other than third parties authorized by you to use your account), and you are solely responsible for any use of or action taken under your password on the Site. If your password is compromised, you must change your password.

Each Buyer will receive a unique PIN code that is assigned by Handbid® to authenticate themselves for password resets and mobile devices. The identity of the Buyer that is associated with a PIN code is not made public and this PIN code should not be shared. Handbid is not responsible for a Buyer’s misuse or sharing of their PIN code.

Fraud.

Buyers must only bid using: (i) their own account (ii) a third-party’s account who has given that Buyer express permission to use their account. You may not register under a false name or use an invalid or unauthorized credit card. You may not make bids under a false name or any email address that is not assigned to you, impersonate any participant, or use another participant’s password(s) or engage in any other fraudulent conduct or conduct intended to interfere with the orderly conduct of business on this Site. Any unauthorized or fraudulent use of a third party’s account is prohibited and is a breach of this Agreement, and may be a violation of federal and state laws and may be reported to law enforcement authorities. Handbid® may report fraudulent use of accounts and other violations of this Agreement to law enforcement, and Handbid® may cooperate to ensure that violators are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Title; Risk of Loss.

When the Seller delivers the Good to the Buyer or the Buyer’s representative in person, or the shipper for shipment to the Buyer, title to the Good and risk of loss will pass to the Buyer. If the Good is damaged in transit, the Buyer should contact the shipping agent and process a claim under the applicable insurance policy. A Seller is not obligated to take a Good back under the Agreement if the Good was damaged in transit (although Sellers are obligated to insure all Goods during transit and to provide reasonable assistance to help the Buyer resolve damage claims with the insurer).

Remedies for Buyer’s Failure.

If any applicable conditions of this Agreement are not complied with in a timely manner by the Buyer (including without limitation a Buyer’s failure to pay for a purchase in good funds within fourteen days after the Buyer Statement (as defined in subsection B.2 below) has been sent to the Buyer), in addition to other remedies available to Handbid® or the Seller by law, including without limitation the right to hold the Buyer liable for the Total Purchase Price, Handbid® or the Seller may, at its option, cancel the sale and re-offer the Good on the Site or sell it to a lower bidder or sell it privately. In addition, Handbid® or the Seller may hold the Buyer liable for any and all costs of collection or re-offer, handling charges, late charges of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate allowed under applicable law, whichever is lower), commissions, and any legal fees and expenses. Further, Handbid, at its sole discretion, may deactivate a Buyer’s account for failure to pay the Total Purchase Price or for improper bidding or other breaches of the Agreement.

Reserve Prices.

At the Seller’s discretion, Goods offered on this Site may subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price established by the Seller below which such Good will not be sold. The Seller is not obligated to sell a Good unless the reserve price is met. A Good will be withdrawn from sale if no bid or offer equal to or above the confidential reserve for that Good is received during the sale period. Handbid® shall have the right to complete any transaction in accordance with these provisions so long as the sale price exceeds the reserve.

Governing Law; Language.

THESE AGREEMENTS AS WELL AS THE BUYER’S, HANDBID’S AND THE SELLER’S RESPECTIVE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER ARE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF COLORADO, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

Dispute Resolution.

The exclusive means of resolving any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), the Service, or the Site shall be BINDING ARBITRATION administered by the American Arbitration Association. The one exception to the exclusivity of arbitration is that you have the right to bring an individual claim against Handbid® in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction. But whether you choose arbitration or small-claims court, you may not under any circumstances commence or maintain against Handbid® any class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding.

By using the Site or the Service in any manner, you agree to the above arbitration agreement. In doing so, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend any claims between you and Handbid (except for matters that may be taken to small-claims court). YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER CLASS PROCEEDING. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. You are entitled to a fair hearing before the arbitrator. The arbitrator can grant any relief that a court can, but you should note that arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. The arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and its Consumer-Related Disputes Supplementary Procedures (together, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by these Arbitration Procedures. If there is any inconsistency between the AAA Rules and these Arbitration Procedures, the Arbitration Procedures will control. However, if the arbitrator determines that strict application of the Arbitration Procedures would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration, the arbitrator may make any order necessary to provide a fundamentally fair arbitration that is consistent with the AAA Rules. The parties, using the AAA’s standard procedures, will select a single arbitrator from a roster of neutrals prepared by the AAA.

Subject to the foregoing paragraph, in the event of any action in court to enforce the provisions of this Agreement. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE, YOU SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE CONSENTED TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE COURTS OF, AND THE FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN, THE STATE OF COLORADO WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SITE, ANY TRANSACTIONS CONDUCTED ON OR THROUGH THE SITE AND THESE AGREEMENTS, AND TO HAVE AGREED THAT PROPER VENUE SHALL LIE IN THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, AND YOU AGREE NOT TO COMMENCE OR PROSECUTE ANY SUCH CLAIMS, ACTIONS, OR PROCEEDINGS OTHER THAN IN THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS. You agree and acknowledge that your use of this Site and Service shall be deemed to have occurred and taken place solely in the State of Colorado. English shall be the language of this Site, and all transactions occurring in connection with this Site, and all users waive any right to use and rely upon any other language or translations. Translations of this Agreement may be presented in languages other than English for the convenience of users. However, you specifically agree that the English language version of this Agreement shall control in the event of any inconsistency between that version and any translation presented in languages other than English.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO BUYERS

Binding Contract.

By placing a bid on or offering to buy any Good, you irrevocably agree to pay the Total Purchase Price for the Good if you are the successful Buyer. Once you place a bid or offer, you may not cancel it. Each successful bid or offer creates a binding obligation on you, as Buyer, enforceable by each of Handbid® and the Seller, to pay fully and promptly all sums due and perform any other conditions of completion with respect to the applicable sale. It is important to note that it is the placement of the bid and its registration into the Site’s database; and not any subsequent notification from the Site that your bid is a winning bid, that obligates you to the pay the Total Purchase Price for the Good.  Upon completion of a sale on the Site, Handbid® will complete a buyer invoice, including (i) sales tax, use tax, or other taxes applicable to the transaction in the United States, and (ii) if applicable, shipping costs and transit insurance charges and transmit it to the Buyer. In addition to, and without limitation of, the rights of Handbid® pursuant above, each Buyer (a) specifically authorizes Handbid® to charge such Buyer’s credit card up to the amount required to finalize any transaction in accordance with this Agreement and (b) specifically acknowledges that if Handbid® is unable for any reason to collect funds sufficient to completely cover the costs of any transaction to which such Buyer is a party, Handbid® reserves the right to turn such matters over to collection agencies.

Buyer’s Payment.

After completion of a auction or sale on the Site or through the Service, you will be notified if you are the successful Buyer for the Good. Upon determination by Handbid® that you are the successful Buyer for a Good, you will be liable to pay immediately the Total Purchase Price for such Good. All registered users may be required by the Seller to provide Handbid® with their credit card details at the time of registration, and to authorize Handbid® to process a charge or charges on their credit card in the amount of the Total Purchase Price for any Good for which they are the successful Buyer.

Packing and Shipping.

If you are the successful Buyer for a Good, you are obligated to either arrange to pick up the Good in person or contact the Seller directly to arrange shipping of the Good to your location. If Buyer and Seller agree to ship the Good to the Buyer, all arrangements related to the shipment will be made and agreed to by the Buyer and Seller, including, without limitation, all freight, payment, and insurance coverage details. Potential Buyers should also be aware that packing and shipping costs may be substantial, particularly if the Good is of large size or weight, or requires special packing due to its fragility or construction. Handbid® may provide general guidelines to assist Sellers and potential Buyers in determining the costs of shipping, packing and insurance, but these are guidelines only and may change materially based on the location to which the Good will be shipped. Handbid® is not responsible or liable for any shipping details or arrangements, including the acts or omissions of carriers or packers of purchased Goods, timing of delivery, and loss or damage to shipped Goods. The Seller will ship the Good to the Buyer in the manner mutually agreed upon between Buyer and Seller. Buyer is responsible for ensuring the Goods are properly insured for transit.

Handbid® reserves the right to delay initiating payments to the Seller pending an investigation if it, in its sole discretion, believes the Buyer or the Seller may have violated this Agreement or any agreement between Buyer and Seller arising from the Service, (or, in the case of Sellers, Handbid’s Services Agreement). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if Handbid® determines, in its sole discretion, that the Seller has violated this Agreement or the Services Agreement, Handbid® may refuse to remit payments to the Seller and may instead maintain the amount of such credit in a trust account or may return the amount of the credit to the Buyer. Handbid® will not be liable to the Seller if Handbid® acts in accordance with the provisions of this subsection.
