IV. AUCTIONS, BIDDING AND SALES

A. Auctions

After Seller creates an Account and provides all the necessary information in regard to the vehicle or item to be sold, Seller will receive an email notifying Seller that the vehicle or item has been approved for sale. Seller shall then choose the preferred type of auction for selling the vehicle. If Seller chooses a Reserve Auction or Blind Auction, Seller will suggest a reserve. PCARMARKET will review Seller’s suggested reserve and, together with Seller, will establish the Reserve Price, which shall be the minimum price at which the Seller’s vehicle may be sold. Before the auction takes place, Seller will be contacted by an auction specialist, who will verify all information with the Seller and arrange with Seller for photos of the vehicle to be displayed on the Website. After all information is verified and all necessary details are listed on the Website, the auction will begin once PCARMARKET determined at its discretion and will last for a period of at least seven to ten (7-10) days but may be longer or shorter as determined by PCARMARKET. 

B. Reserve Auction

If Seller chooses a Reserve Auction, Seller will suggest a Reserve Price, which must be approved by PCARMARKET. Upon PCARMARKET and Seller agreeing upon the vehicle’s Reserve Price, the auction will begin at a date and time to be determined by PCARMARKET and will last for a period of at least seven to ten (7-10) days but may be longer or shorter as determined by PCARMARKET. PCARMARKET shall notify Seller once the Auction begins.  If all bids received with respect to the vehicle during the initial auction period are below the Reserve Price, the vehicle will be placed in the Deal Tank for a period of four (4) weeks. Once a vehicle has been placed in the Deal Tank, PCARMARKET will work directly with the Seller and eligible Members to reach an agreement for the sale of the vehicle or item. While the vehicle or item remains in the Deal Tank, prospective Buyers will be able to submit an anonymous offer, which PCARMARKET will then present to Seller to accept or decline. In some cases, Buyers can “Buy Now” for an agreed upon price which will be automatically accepted by the Seller based on the vehicle or items availability. If the vehicle remains unsold after the conclusion of the Deal Tank period, all contractual obligations between Seller and PCARMARKET will end.  

C. Blind Auction

In a Blind Auction, all bid amounts entered for a vehicle remain anonymous. The final selling price of the vehicle also remains anonymous. If Seller chooses to sell his or her vehicle by way of a Blind Auction, Seller will suggest a Reserve Price, which must be approved by PCARMARKET. Upon PCARMARKET and Seller agreeing upon the vehicle’s Reserve Price, the auction will begin at a date and time to be determined by PCARMARKET and will last for a period of at least seven to ten (7-10) days but may be longer or shorter as determined by PCARMARKET. PCARMARKET shall notify Seller once the Auction begins.   If all bids received on the vehicle during the initial auction period are below the Reserve Price, the vehicle will be placed in the Deal Tank for a period of four (4) weeks.  Once a vehicle has been placed in the Deal Tank, PCARMARKET will work directly with the Seller and eligible Members who placed the highest bids during the auction period to reach an agreement for the sale of the vehicle.  If the vehicle remains unsold after the conclusion of the Deal Tank period, all contractual obligations between the Seller and PCARMARKET will end.

D. No Reserve Auction

In a No Reserve Auction, Seller does not provide a Reserve Price. Instead, Seller’s vehicle or item will sell for the highest bid amount, regardless of the exact amount of such bid. If no bids are received for the vehicle during the initial auction period, all contractual obligations between the Seller and PCARMARKET will end.  

E. Bidding

When a prospective Buyer desires to make a bid on a vehicle, the prospective Buyer will be prompted to enter his or her credit card information to pay the applicable bidding fees (as hereinafter explained in Section VI.B). After entering such information, the prospective Buyer will be able to make a bid. Bids are to be placed at the bottom of the auction page, where, except in the case of a Blind Auction, the prospective Buyer can see how many bids have been made for the vehicle and the amount of the current highest bid. Once a bid has been made, an email notification confirming the bid will be sent to the prospective Buyer. After a bid has been submitted, it cannot be retracted, deleted or canceled for any reason whatsoever; therefore, Members should exercise caution when placing bids. In the event that a prospective Buyer’s bid is exceeded by another bid, an email notification will be sent to the prospective Buyer notifying him or her that the bid has been exceeded. The prospective Buyer will then be able to make a separate bid.

F. Disputes Regarding Bids

Should a dispute arise regarding a bid, PCARMARKET is the exclusive deciding authority with sole and absolute discretion in resolving disputes. Members agree to indemnify, defend and hold PCARMARKET harmless from any and all liability arising out of decisions made in resolving disputes regarding bids.

G. Transfer of Title

Members understand that the procedures for transferring title of a vehicle purchased through the Website are the responsibility of Seller and Buyer. Title to vehicles listed for sale on PCARMARKET shall never be held by PCARMARKET and PCARMARKET shall bear no responsibility for the inability or failure of Seller or Buyer to affect the correct transfer of title of any vehicle purchased through the Website. 

H. Sale Cancellation

PCARMARKET reserves the right to cancel or reverse a sale transaction in the event of fraud, material misrepresentation, or patent defect in the description of the vehicle or bidding information, as determined by PCARMARKET in PCARMARKET’s sole discretion. PCARMARKET will not be liable to any Member as a result of any vehicle withdrawal, sale cancellation or postponement.

I. Post-Bid Damage, Discrepancy

If, prior to the vehicle being retrieved by Buyer, it is determined that items have been removed or replaced on the vehicle, that additional damage has occurred since the time the Buyer submitted his/her bid, and/or there is a title type discrepancy, the Buyer will have the option to purchase the vehicle at the original price or cancel the sale. Odometer readings that differ from the listed mileage by less than one thousand (1,000) miles do not qualify for transaction cancellation or refund of any amount from PCARMARKET.

J. Risk of Loss, Assumption of the Risk

Buyer takes full responsibility and assumes all risk of loss for all vehicles purchased from the time PCARMARKET accepts the Buyer’s bid. From and after acceptance of the Buyer’s bid, Buyer acknowledges that PCARMARKET is not responsible for damage to or loss of the vehicle or parts thereof and shall not be responsible for any claim of damage, regardless of whether Buyer, or any person on Buyer’s behalf such as Buyer’s agent, employee or representative, picks up the vehicle from Seller.

K. Compliance with Laws, Rules, and Regulations

Members shall comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding their use of the Membership Services.

Buyer agrees to comply, and to cause its agents and representatives to comply, with all applicable laws and regulations when retrieving a purchased vehicle from Seller, including properly loading and securing all vehicles for safe travel. PCARMARKET shall in no event be responsible or liable for any damage occurring as a result of unsafe or improper loading or securing of a vehicle for transport and the Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold PCARMARKET harmless from any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from or related to any failure of the Buyer or the Buyer’s agent or representative to properly load and/or secure a vehicle for transport.

V. DELIVERY OF VEHICLE OR ITEM TO BUYER

Purchased vehicles or Items may be picked up by the Buyer directly from the applicable Seller only after full and complete payment for the vehicle or Item, including payment of any and all applicable fees.

B. Shipment of Purchased Vehicle

Should a Buyer desire to have the purchased vehicle or Item shipped to Buyer, Buyer may arrange with Seller for such shipment. However, under no circumstances will PCARMARKET make arrangements for such shipment or be responsible for Seller’s refusal to make such arrangements.

C. Non-Delivery by Seller

In the event that Seller fails to make a purchased vehicle or Item available for delivery to Buyer within 48 hours of full payment of the vehicle, PCARMARKET will return to Buyer an amount equal to the Buyer’s Fee (as hereinafter defined) if paid in full less any administrative charge incurred by PCARMARKET in processing the refund. Seller will not be entitled to the return of any fee paid by Seller on account of that sale and will be liable to PCARMARKET for any amount refunded to Buyer and any fee or administrative charge incurred by PCARMARKET to refund the Buyer’s Fee to Buyer.

D. Shipping Disclaimer

Members acknowledge and agree that it is the Buyer’s responsibility to either pick up or arrange for the delivery of a purchased vehicle.  In the event that Buyer elects for delivery of a purchased vehicle, Buyer shall be solely responsible for arranging and paying for the shipment of the vehicle.  PCARMARKET shall not be liable for any loss of vehicle keys, vehicle damage, vehicle or part theft, or shipment delays.

VI. FEES AND PAYMENTS

For a Vehicle Reserve Auction, Seller will be charged an auction fee of $99.00 USD at the time Seller submits the vehicle information for approval. For a Vehicle DealTank Direct listing, Seller will be charged a fee of $199 USD at the time Seller submits the vehicle information for approval.

All payments for vehicles bought through PCARMARKET must be made in full to Seller within seven (7) business days of the sale date.

D. Non-Payment by Buyer

If a Buyer fails to issue payment for a purchased vehicle within the allotted time, the Buyer will be considered to have forfeited all of its rights in the vehicle or Item.

Members agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, PCARMARKET shall not under any circumstances have any liability whatsoever to a Member or any third-party for any damages or losses of any kind (known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, direct or indirect) arising out of or in any way related to any disclaimer provided in this Agreement or on the Website.

Members agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, PCARMARKET shall not under any circumstances have any liability whatsoever to a Member or any third-party for any (a) indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, (b) loss of use, data, opportunity, goodwill, reputation, profit, or revenue, or (c) costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) for any Claim (as defined in Section VIII.B) not amounting to a willful or intentional wrong.

VIII. MISCELLANEOUS

A. Governing Law, Jurisdiction

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without reference to the principles of conflicts of law. In the event that the agreement to arbitrate under Section VIII.B is found not to apply to any particular Member or to any particular Claim, Members hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, sitting in Nassau County, and the courts of the United States for New York.

B. Binding Arbitration

You agree that any claim, demand, controversy, dispute, or cause of action arising out of or in any way concerning, relating, or referring to this Agreement, your Account, your relationship with PCARMARKET, your use of or inability to use the Membership Services, or any vehicle you bid on or purchase using the Membership Services (each, a “Claim”) shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration according to the then-existing rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Such proceedings will be governed by and in accordance with substantive New York law and shall be decided by a panel of arbitrators or an arbitrator located in Nassau County, New York.

The arbitrator and not any federal, state, or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, conscionability, or formation of this Agreement, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable.

You agree that any Claim shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in state or federal court. You and PCARMARKET both agree that each waives any right to a jury trial under this Agreement.

C. Attorney Fees

Except as specifically provided under this Agreement, the AAA rules, or by applicable law, the parties acknowledge and agree that (a) each party shall bear its own costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any Claim, and (b) any right to an award of costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) under Section VII.E or elsewhere in this Agreement is limited to the specific circumstances set forth under such section and is not intended to provide any party with a general right to an award of costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), even if such party is the “prevailing party” in connection with any Claim.

D. Severability

If any term or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms and provisions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term or provision.

E. Integration

This constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning this Agreement and the subject matter contained herein. No further warranties, representations, or other promises, oral or written, have been made or are made part hereof.
