3 BASIS OF CONTRACT

3.1 These Conditions apply to govern the process leading to and the process of the auction, tender or private treaty sale and the sale of the Lots themselves, including the viewing of the Lots.  These Conditions apply to the exclusion of any other terms that the Buyer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which would otherwise be implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing. 

3.2 Where the Sale Details are made available online, or where the auction or tender is carried out online, the Terms of Website Use, Website Acceptable Use Policy and Privacy Policy which are set out on the Website apply in addition to these Conditions.

3.3 The Sale Details and these Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the parties except where the sale is conducted, or bids are taken online in which case the Terms of Website Use, Website Acceptable Use Policy and Privacy Policy shown on the Website on the day of the sale apply in addition.  The Buyer acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance, or warranty made or given by or on behalf of the Agent which is not set out in the Sale Details or set out in writing and signed by the Agent. 

3.4 Where Lots are sold on the instruction of an insolvency practitioner advising, or appointed to, a Seller, the insolvency practitioner acts solely as agent for the Seller and shall be under no personal liability whatsoever in respect of the sale.

3.5 All Buyers must be over the age of 18 to bid for any Lot.

3.6 Where the Buyer is represented by an agent, the agent undertakes that if the Buyer does not complete on the purchase of any Lot, the agent will be personally liable to purchase the Lot and to indemnify the Agent and the Seller against any costs, losses or expenses incurred by the Buyer’s default. 

 

4 ELEGIBILITY OF BUYERS

4.1 The Agent does not intend to offer any Lots for sale to consumers.

4.2 By registering with the Agent to bid at the Agent’s sales, the Buyer acknowledges that the Buyer is buying in the course of the Buyer’s business or trade for business use. 

 

5 LOTS

5.1 Unless otherwise specified in the Sale Details the Seller is the owner of the Lots sold by him and has full legal and beneficial ownership.  

5.2 No warranty as to title is given in respect of any Lots where the Seller is subject to any insolvency procedure and the Lots are sold on the instruction of an insolvency practitioner. In such case the Seller sells such right, title and interest as it has.  Any claim made in relation to such Lots after the sale by any person claiming title to that Lot will be the responsibility of the Buyer.  The Buyer acknowledges that the price that it pays for the Lot will reflect the lack of certainty of title, and that no adjustment to the price paid for that Lot, nor any right to make any other claim will arise against the Seller (including any insolvency practitioner acting for the Seller) or the Agent.

5.3 Unless otherwise specified in the Sale Details the Lots are not new and will have been previously owned and used.  They are likely to show signs of age, wear and tear and may have faults and imperfections.  Unless otherwise specified in the Sale Details Lots have not been tested for operation, condition, or safety.

5.4 IMPORTANT NOTICE IN THE CASE OF PLANT AND MACHINERY – Lots may not comply with relevant health and safety legislation or rules relating to that type of plant, machinery, or equipment.  The Buyer undertakes that he will ensure that all Lots purchased by the Buyer will be:

5.4.1 transported, stored, commissioned, tested, maintained, and used in accordance with instructions for safe use and all relevant statutes, rules and regulations governing the use of those Lots, including the safe handling and disposal of any oils, lubricants, fluids, or other chemicals; or

5.4.2 be used in accordance with all relevant statutes, rules, and regulations solely for dismantling for scrap or spare parts; No warranty is given that any Lot will be able to pass any tests or be capable of meeting any relevant statutes, rules, and regulations.

5.5 IMPORTANT NOTICE IN THE CASE OF MOTOR VEHICLES – Motor vehicles are not warranted as being roadworthy.  Where available, motor vehicles will be sold with a current MOT test certificate, but the MOT certificate is only a statement that the motor vehicle complied with legal requirements on the date of the test.  A current MOT test certificate does not confirm that a motor vehicle is roadworthy at the date of sale.  Odometer readings are not verified and are not warranted.  The Buyer undertakes that he will ensure that:

5.5.1 all Lots purchased by the Buyer will be transported, stored, commissioned, tested, maintained, and used in accordance with instructions for safe use and all relevant statutes, rules and regulations governing the use of those Lots. 

5.5.2 before use on any public road any Lots purchased will comply with all legal requirements as to roadworthiness, construction, and use.

5.5.3 he obtains all certificates, permits, licences or authorisation necessary before any Lots can be used on any road.

5.5.4 he will ensure the safe handling and disposal of any oils, lubricants, fluids, chemicals, or waste in accordance with all current legislation, rules, and regulations.

5.5.5 all Lots not meeting the terms set out in 5.5.1 and 5.5.2 will be used in accordance with all relevant statutes, rules, and regulations solely for dismantling for scrap or spare parts.

5.6 IMPORTANT NOTICE IN THE CASE OF COMPUTER EQUIPMENT – Unless otherwise specified in the Sale Details, computers are sold without hard drives, operating systems, or software of any description.  The Buyer undertakes to ensure that any computer systems are used only with properly licensed software.  The Buyer undertakes that it will not use, copy, or release to any person, and will ensure secure deletion of, any data found on any computer or computer media purchased, and immediately advise the Seller or Agent that data was found.  The Buyer agrees to indemnify the Agent and the Seller against any claims made relating to misuse of data caused by the act of the Buyer.

5.7 The description given for each Lot is intended to give a general description of the Lot to enable a Buyer to decide if it wishes to view the Lot.  Sale by the Agent or the Seller to the Buyer is not a sale by description.  The Buyer must inspect all Lots to satisfy itself that the Lots match the description in the Sale Details and are suitable for the purpose for which the Buyer wishes to purchase the Lots.  The Buyer should not assume that any Lots are fit for a purpose merely because Lots of that type are normally used for that purpose.  Lots may have been used or adapted by the Seller for other purposes which may affect future use of those Lots.  

5.8 Whilst every care has been taken in the preparation of any advertisement brochure and other publication, they are necessarily statements of opinion and must not be relied upon as statements of fact.  The images of the Lots in the Sale Details are for illustrative purposes only.  The Agent cannot guarantee that the colours shown on the Buyer’s computer screen or appearing in the printed Sale Details accurately reflect the colour of the Lots.  Neither the Seller nor the Agent is responsible for the correctness of any description of any Lots.

5.9 No employee of the Seller or director, employee or appointed person of the Agent has authority to make any statements, warranties, or representations about any Lot unless the same is confirmed in writing signed by the Agent or a partner of, or insolvency practitioner appointed to, the Seller.

5.10 Unless stated in the Sale Details to be new, all Lots sold are preowned, used, or second-hand and are sold as seen.  There are no manufacturer’s warranties or guarantees with any Lot unless expressly stated in the Sale Details.

5.11 IMPORTANT NOTICE – EXCLUDED ASSETS – Unless expressly stated otherwise in the Sale Details, the Seller is selling only the listed Lots and is not selling any right, title, or interest in, or to, its books of account, purchase and sale records, orders or any other books or records of any type, whether digital or hard copy, kept or used by the Seller in relation to its business or any part of it.

 

6 SALE SITES

6.1 Lots may be offered for sale at the Seller’s premises, the site where the Lots are being used, or at premises hired or made available for the purposes of the sale.  Whilst all sites may have dangers, construction sites and industrial premises have particular hazards and Buyers must take care.  

6.2 The Buyer is responsible for his own safety and for ensuring the safety of all persons accompanying or acting on behalf of the Buyer.  The Buyer and those accompanying the Buyer must observe all safety notices, rules and regulations relating to the Sale Site.  The Buyer is responsible for ensuring that all persons accompanying the Buyer comply with all safety notices, rules and regulations.  In particular, children under the age of 16 are not allowed on any Sale Site, unless the Buyer completes and signs a disclaimer, which will be available at the entrance to the Sale Site.  The Buyer must ensure that any children remain with the Buyer at all times.  The Agent reserves the right to refuse entry to any children, or to require a Buyer with accompanying children to leave a Sale Site immediately.

6.3 The Buyer shall refrain from and shall ensure those accompanying him or acting on his behalf refrain from, conduct that may cause a nuisance to the Seller, the Agent, the occupiers and neighbours of any Sale Site and other buyers visiting the Sale Site.  The Agent reserves the right to refuse entry to a Buyer, or to require a Buyer to leave a Sale Site immediately if his conduct or that of those accompanying him is not satisfactory to the Agent.

7.3 Each offer submitted by a Buyer is an offer available for acceptance by the Seller or the Agent on the Seller’s behalf.  Acceptance will take place when the Agent sends a notice to the successful Buyer that his offer has been accepted.  At that point the Buyer is legally bound to purchase the Lot.

 

8 SALE PROCESS – LIVE OR ONLINE AUCTION

Once the Buyer has viewed the Lots or taken such other steps as the Buyer wishes to inspect the Lots the Buyer shall submit a refundable deposit with the Auctioneer to enable the Buyer to place bids online through the Agent’s website.  The Buyer is reminded that the sale takes place by use of computer software operated by the Agent and supplied by a third party, and through use of the Buyer’s computer and the internet.  The Agent cannot guarantee that the software will work without error or interruption and has no control over the internet or the Buyer’s method of access.  The Buyer should not assume that an offer has been received unless it has been acknowledged.

8.8 The Seller is entitled to bid at the auction either himself or through an agent but cannot bid himself or by an agent if a reserve has been fixed.

8.9 The fall of the hammer will constitute acceptance of the offer made by the Buyer and will create a binding contract for the purchase of that Lot by the Buyer at the hammer price.  At an online auction, the fall of the hammer will be signified by reaching the end of the period during which bids for the Lots may be made (provided the reserve has been met).

8.10 In the event of any dispute about the bidding process a Buyer shall notify the Auctioneer immediately after the fall of the hammer, before bidding commences on the next Lot.  The Auctioneer may confirm the sale or offer the Lot for sale again immediately.  The Auctioneer’s decision will be final.

The Buyer is reminded that the sale takes place by use of computer software operated by the Agent and supplied by a third party, and through use of the Buyer’s computer and the internet.  The Agent cannot guarantee that the software will work without error or interruption and has no control over the internet or the Buyer’s method of access.  The Buyer should not assume that an offer has been received unless it has been acknowledged.

9.3 Each offer submitted by a Buyer is an offer available for acceptance by the Seller or the Agent on the Seller’s behalf.  Acceptance will take place when the Agent sends a notice to the successful Buyer that his offer has been accepted.  At that point, the Buyer is legally bound to purchase the Lot.

 

10 PRICE AND PAYMENT

10.1 The price of each Lot shall be:

10.1.1 the price offered by the Buyer and accepted by the Seller in a sale by tender or private treaty including online tender; or

10.1.2 the price offered by the Buyer at the fall of the hammer in a sale by public or online auction; and

10.1.3 in all cases, unless otherwise specified in relation to that Lot on the Sale Details, subject to a buyer’s premium of 15% plus 5% surcharge if online.

10.2 The price of the Lots is exclusive of the costs and charges of packaging, insurance, and transport of the Lots, which shall be the responsibility of the Buyer.

10.3 The price of the Lots is exclusive of any value added tax (VAT) payable.  The Buyer shall pay to the Agent such additional amounts in respect of VAT as are chargeable on the sale price of the Lots and the buyer’s premium. Any lot description prefixed with an * will be subject to VAT chargeable on the hammer price.

10.4 The Agent shall be entitled to require the Buyer to pay a deposit with or immediately after acceptance of any offer made by the Buyer.  If the Buyer fails to pay the deposit the Agent shall be entitled, but not required, to rescind the contract and offer the Lot for resale.  A deposit will be received by the Agent as agent for the Seller and not as stakeholder.  Interest will not be paid on any deposit unless the money is held for more than one month and the Buyer is unable to complete due to default on the part of the Seller or the Agent.  Where payable, interest will be paid at the rate obtained by the Agent on those funds, less all costs incurred in calculating and paying the interest.

10.5 Unless otherwise agreed by the Agent in writing, the Buyer shall pay the invoice in full and in cleared funds by 4pm on the Business Day following the date of notification from the Agent that its offer has been accepted.  Payment shall be made to the bank account nominated in writing by the Agent.  Time of payment is of the essence.

10.6 If the Buyer fails to make any payment due to the Agent by the due date for payment, then the Buyer shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 6% per annum above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time.  Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment.  The Buyer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.

10.7 The Buyer shall pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (except for any deduction or withholding required by law).  The Agent may at any time, without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have, set off any amount owing to it by the Buyer against any amount payable by the Agent to the Buyer.

10.8 If the Buyer fails to make payment of all amounts due by the due time and date, the Buyer shall be deemed to have instructed the Agent, at the absolute discretion of the Agent to: 

10.8.1 resell all Lots for which the Buyer has failed to pay in full; or

10.8.2 leave the Lot at the Sale Site and notify any person of the details of the Buyer. Any resale shall be by whatever means the Agent deems suitable for the sale of that Lot.  If the resale price, after deducting all storage costs, transportation and moving costs, and all expenses of the sale including the Agent’s time costs at its current charge-out rates:

10.8.3 is greater than the sums due from the Buyer, the Agent will account to the Buyer for the excess.

10.8.4 is less than the sums due from the Buyer, the Buyer shall pay to the Agent a sum equal to the shortfall.

10.9 For the purpose of clause 10.8 in the event that the Buyer is already in possession of the Lots, then the Buyer agrees that the Agent, without limiting any other right or remedy the Agent may have, may at any time require the Buyer to deliver up the Lots and if the Buyer fails to deliver up the Lots promptly, then the Buyer authorises the Agent to enter any premises of the Buyer or of any third party where the Lots are stored in order to recover the Lots.  The costs incurred in recovering the Lots from the Buyer shall be paid by the Buyer as set out in clause 10.8.

 

11 LIEN

11.1 The Agent shall have a lien over each Lot which is in the possession or control of the Agent until all sums due to the Agent or Seller in relation to that Lot have been paid in full by the Buyer.

11.2 The Agent’s lien shall be exercisable against any deposit received by the Agent from a Buyer.

 

12 COLLECTION OF LOTS

12.1 The Agent will not release any Lots until payment in full has been received by the Agent.

12.2 The Buyer shall collect the Lots promptly by the Collection Deadline specified in the Sale Details or by Appointment from the Sale Site or from such other location as may be advised by the Agent to the Buyer.

12.3 In accordance with the Health & Safety at Work Regulations and Construction Design & Management Regulations, the Buyer may be required to provide a removal “Method Statement” and/or “Risk Assessment” for approval by the Seller and/or the Agent prior to the removal of any Lots.  The Buyer undertakes to comply with any agreed Method Statement during the removal process, and the Agent reserves the right to stop the removal process if the Agent deems the removal process is being carried out in an unsatisfactory manner.  The Buyer is responsible for all work required to disconnect any Lot which is connected to any supply services, another Lot, or the land and/or buildings in any way, and all such work must be carried out by suitably qualified persons.  The Buyer is responsible for the removal from the Sale Site of any fluids and/or waste in and around the Lot(s) and shall carry out the removal strictly in accordance with all current legislation, rules and regulations governing those fluids or waste.  The Buyer hereby indemnifies the Agent and (where appropriate) the Seller against any costs, damage, claims and other liabilities arising from any breach by the Buyer of such legislation, rules or regulations.

 

 

12.4 The Buyer shall take all due care during collection of any Lots and will be responsible for any damage caused to the Sale Site or other location from which the Lot is collected.  Where Lots are fixed to land and/or buildings, the Buyer shall detach such Lot safely and lawfully without the use of flame cutters, explosives or any other dangerous equipment or processes (unless with the express written permission of the Agent given expressly in relation to that removal).  Save to the extent that the Buyer shall make good, with the consent and approval of the Agent or the Seller, any damage to the land and/or buildings the Buyer hereby indemnifies the Agent and (where appropriate) the Seller against any costs, damage, claims, and other liabilities arising from such damage. 

12.5 The Agent may require the Buyer to pay a deposit prior to collection of any Lot to cover any possible damage to the Sale Site or other location, and the deposit shall be returned to the Buyer within 3 working days of the Buyer collecting the Lots without damage to the Sale Site or other location.

12.6 If the Buyer has paid for but fails to collect the Lots by the Collection Deadline specified in the Sale Details then, except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Agent's failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract:

12.6.1 collection of the Lots shall be deemed to have been completed by close of business (5pm UK time) on the day of the Collection Deadline; and

12.6.2 the Agent may store the Lots until collection takes place, or a sale occurs pursuant to clause 12.7 below, or scrap the lots, and charge the Buyer for all related costs and expenses (including rent and insurance from the Collection Deadline); or 12.6.3 the Agent may leave the Lot at the Sale Site and notify any person of the details of the Buyer.

12.7 If the Buyer has not collected the Lots by the Collection Deadline, the Agent may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Lots or leave them on the Sale Site at the risk of the Buyer.  All Lots resold or disposed of will be subject to the Agent’s normal charges for disposal of goods similar to that Lot, including any commission-based fees.  Where the Buyer had paid for the Lots but had not taken delivery the Agent will deduct the storage and selling costs and account to the Buyer for the balance of the price achieved on resale or disposal (excluding VAT which will have been accounted for on the sale of the Lots and will not be recoverable) of the Lots.  Where the Buyer had not paid for the Lots, the Buyer shall be liable to pay the original sale price, buyer’s premium and VAT together with the additional costs of the resale or disposal but shall receive credit for the sale price achieved on the resale or disposal (excluding any buyer’s premium and VAT chargeable on the resale or disposal).

12.8 The Agent can undertake packing and postage of certain items purchased. Any packing and handling of purchased lots by the Agents is undertaken solely as a courtesy to clients. In no event will the Auctioneers be held responsible for damage incurred by their packing and handling of sold lots. We can provide details of a courier such as Pack and Send, Mailboxes, DPD, Palletways should the Buyer not have a preferred courier. The cost and expense of this packing and postage service will need to be settled by the Buyer before any lots are despatched.

13.5 If before title to the Lots passes to the Buyer the Buyer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clauses 15.1.1 to 15.1.12 inclusive, or the Agent reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen and notifies the Buyer accordingly, then without limiting any other right or remedy the Agent may have, the Agent may at any time require the Buyer to deliver up the Lots and, if the Buyer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Buyer or of any third party where the Lots are stored in order to recover them.
