Main Terms:

 

The Company (AuctionWeb Ltd trading as WellBoughtWellSold) provides a service that allows Sellers to auction a vehicle via the WBWS platform and accept Bids from Buyers.

All Content associated with an Auction is the property of the Seller and the Seller grants the Company an unlimited license to use the Content in any way it sees fit.

 

The Company cannot guarantee the accuracy of any Content, nor does it endorse the opinions of Registered Users in any way.

 

As a Seller you undertake that:

  5. The Seller agrees that once an Auction has gone live, the Seller cannot end the Auction for any reason.
  6. The Seller agrees that if they do not, for any reason, complete a sale where a Buyer has bid the highest amount at the end of the Auction and that the highest bid is above any Reserve, the Seller will become liable for the full Buyer’s Fee which will be charged to the Seller’s registered credit card.
  7. The Seller agree to remove and take down all third party listings and advertising where the vehicle is for sale or auction as soon as the WBWS Auction goes live.
  8. The Seller undertakes that once these Terms & Conditions are signed, WBWS will book a photographer to photograph the vehicle. If you decide not to proceed with the listing of the vehicle on WBWS for any reason after the photographs have been completed or where you did not cancel the photographer at least 24 hours before the agreed appointment, WBWS retain the right to charge you £300 for the photography service.

 

A Seller may request a Reserve to be applied to any listing. The vehicle will not be deemed to have been sold at the end of the Auction if the highest Bid is not greater than the Reserve. The Seller may request to reduce or remove the Reserve at any time whilst the Auction is live. A Reserve cannot be increased.

 

As a Buyer you undertake that:

  2. All Bids submitted by a Buyer are deemed to be a binding contract for the sale of the vehicle
  3. WBWS will ‘hold’ an amount on the Buyer’s registered credit card equal to £300 for all auctions where a first bid is made and retain the 'hold' until the auction closes. All ‘hold’ amounts for unsuccessful bidders will be released when the auction closes. It can take up to 2 to 3 days to release the 'hold' on your credit depending on your credit card issuer. The 'hold' amount will reduce your available credit limit but it will not show as a debit to your account.
  4. When submitting a bid, the Buyer agrees to pay the WBWS Buyer’s Fees if he is the highest bidder when the auction ends and the Reserve has been met
  5. The Buyer’s Fee is currently 6% (which includes UK VAT at 20%) of the highest bid when the Auction ends with a minimum of £300 and maximum of £6000.

  9. The Company recommends an independent inspection of the vehicle before biding
  10. The Buyer acknowledges that the Company has no liability whatsoever associated with the purchasing of a vehicle on the WBWS platform
  11. When an Auction ends, WBWS will introduce the Buyer to the Seller and it is the Buyer’s responsibility to complete payment for the vehicle within 7 days. WBWS does not handle nor have any liability to any aspects of the completion of the payment process between Buyer and Seller.
  12. In the event that a Buyer does not complete a sale, the Buyer’s Fee will not be refunded under any circumstances
