a Member and be capable of forming legally binding relations
under applicable law. The services provided by harley-auctions.co.uk
are not available to individuals under the age of 18
years old and any other individuals who are legally
prohibited from, or otherwise incapable of, entering
into binding contracts.
1.4 WHO CAN SELL?
Sellers must be the rightful owners or authorized by
the owners of such property, a court of law, or through
power of attorney to sell an Asset. Sellers must produce
evidence of ownership and/or authorization to sell an
Asset upon request of harley-auctions.co.uk or a Buyer.
1.5 PROCEDURE FOR CONDUCTING AUCTIONS
Assets are listed for the specified bidding periods
shown on the Site and are deemed "sold" at the close
of bidding which will be set at a time pre-determined
by the Seller. Each Asset will have a description and
disclosure information on the Site, as well as any additional
conditions of sale provided by the Seller. Once bidding
commences, Bidders may make a bid at any time prior
to closing of the bidding. All Assets will have a minimum
bid price disclosed on the Site. For certain Assets,
the Seller may impose a reserve price which is not disclosed
on the Site. If there are no bids above the minimum
bid or reserve price (whichever is higher), then the
Seller is not obligated to sell the Asset. After bidding
closes on each Asset, harley-auctions.co.uk will send
the highest Bidder and Seller an email detailing the
highest bid and contact information. In all auctions
Buyers who receive a winning bid notice are legally
bound to buy the asset at the quoted bid amount (see
"Contractual Obligations of Buyers and Sellers" below),
and the Seller is legally bound to sell the asset, pursuant
to these Terms & Conditions, subject to the additional
conditions of sale specified by Seller. The Seller is
obligated to contact the winning Bidder within three
(3) business days to complete the transaction (or the
Seller may engage a representative, including harley-auctions.co.uk,
to contact the winning Bidder on the Seller's behalf,
pursuant to prior agreement). After three (3) business
days if the Seller is unable to contact the winning
Bidder, for whatever reason, the Seller may, in its
sole discretion (a) continue to attempt to contact the
high bidder with assistance from harley-auctions.co.uk;
(b) after contacting harley-auctions.co.uk, contact
the second highest Bidder and sell the Asset to the
second highest Bidder; or (c) re-list the asset on the
Site. By selling an Asset to the next highest Bidder,
neither the Seller nor harley-auctions.co.uk is releasing
any claims he/she/it may have against the highest Bidder
for non-performance. Once the Seller contacts the winning
Bidder, the Seller and winning Bidder shall complete
the settlement of the purchase and sale of the Asset
pursuant to "Settlement of Transactions" below.
1.6 SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS
The settlement of a purchase and sale of an Asset following
a completed bidding process shall be conducted pursuant
to this Section, unless otherwise provided in the Seller's
conditions of sale or in a written agreement executed
by the Buyer and Seller. Unless otherwise provided in
the Seller's conditions of sale or otherwise agreed
upon by the Seller and Buyer in writing, final settlement
shall take place no later than seven (7) business days
after Buyer is given a Winning Bid notice.
1.7 USER NAME AND PASSWORD
Once a party becomes a Member of the Site, the Member
will select a user name and a password. Members are
entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality
of their user names and passwords. Furthermore, Members
are entirely responsible for any and all activities,
which occur under a Member's ID and password. Member
agrees to immediately notify harley-auctions.co.uk of
any unauthorised use of Member's ID or any other breach
of security known to Member.
1.8 CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
OF BUYERS AND SELLERS
Terms & Conditions As Contract. These Terms &
Conditions, together with any additional conditions
of sale provided by a Seller for a particular Asset
disclosed on the Site, comprise a contract between a
Seller and the winning Bidder in any completed auction.
By bidding on an Asset a Bidder agrees, and by listing
an Asset on the Site, a Seller agrees, to be bound by
these Terms & Conditions and the Seller's conditions
of sale included in the Asset's description, so long
as those conditions of sale are not in violation of
these Terms & Conditions or unlawful. In the event
of any direct conflict between these Terms & Conditions
and any conditions of sale provided by a Seller, then
these Terms & Conditions shall prevail, except that
in the event of a direct conflict regarding the timing
and requirements of settlement provided in the Section
entitled "Settlement of Transactions" above, then the
Seller's conditions of sale shall prevail with respect
to such provisions.
1.9 BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN
BUYER AND SELLER
A bid made by a Buyer is an offer to purchase the asset
from the Seller at the stated bid price. The bid is
an irrevocable offer, subject only to material changes
in the description of an asset made after such bid is
placed by a Buyer. Buyers are required to conduct any
research or due diligence of an asset prior to making
a bid (See "Other Responsibilities of Bidders/Buyers"
below). All Assets are listed and sold on an "as is"
basis. If a Buyer bids on an asset and that bid represents
the highest bid for that asset, and the highest bid
is at or above the Seller's minimum and/or reserve price
(whichever is higher), the Buyer's bid is deemed accepted
by the Seller (subject to these Terms & Conditions,
including the right of a Buyer to change or retract
a bid in the event of a material change in the description
of the Asset, as set forth below), except for an exceptional
circumstance, such as a typographical error. Once a
Buyer's bid is accepted by the Seller, the Buyer is
obligated to purchase the asset at the price he/she/it
offered and pursuant to these Terms & Conditions
and the Seller's conditions of sale. If a Seller receives
at least one bid at or above the Seller's stated minimum
price (or in the case where the Seller has set a reserve
price, at or above the reserve price), the Seller is
obligated to complete the transaction with the highest
Bidder upon the completion of the bidding, unless there
is an exceptional circumstance, such as a clear typographical
error or other conditions stated in these Terms &
Conditions.
1.10 CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE
AND SALE
All purchases and sales of Assets and use of the Site
by Members shall be conducted in compliance with applicable
law. Purchases made on the Site are entirely without
recourse to harley-auctions.co.uk. All Members acknowledge
and agree that closing of all sales of Assets may be
subject to final approval of a court (including a bankruptcy
court) or other agency and that if such approval is
not obtained, the Seller may withdraw such Asset after
a completed bidding process without any recourse or
liability on the part of Seller.
1.11 BUYER AND SELLER
CONTRACT OBLIGATIONS
All Members are third party beneficiaries of these Terms
& Conditions, and Buyers and Sellers shall be entitled
to enforce the provisions hereof and may pursue legal
action against each other for non-performance of any
provision hereof, including without limitation, non-performance
of a purchase and sale after a completed bidding process.
In addition, harley-auctions.co.uk retains the right
to terminate a Member's rights to use the Site in the
event a Member violates these Terms & Conditions.
All Assets are listed and sold on the Site on an "as
is" basis. Bidders are required to conduct any research
or due diligence of an asset that they wish to conduct
prior to making a bid. After the online bidding is complete,
unless otherwise indicated/engaged, Buyers are responsible
for taking all necessary actions to complete the sale
once a Winning Bid notice is given to Buyer. harley-auctions.co.uk
retains the rights to terminate a Buyer's rights to
use the Site in the event a Buyer fails to perform its
obligations to settle on a completed auction.
1.12 OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES OF SELLERS
Description of Assets. Sellers must accurately describe
Assets in a listing provided for inclusion on the Site

in violation of these Terms & Conditions. harley-auctions.co.uk
retains the right to terminate a Seller's rights to
use the Site in the event a Seller includes material
misstatements or omissions in an Asset's description.
Prior to listing an Asset, Sellers shall provide to
harley-auctions.co.uk any terms or conditions of sale
for particular Assets in addition to these Terms &
Conditions. Sellers are responsible for complying with

for ensuring that all items offered for sale are offered
in full compliance with any applicable legal limitations
