NATURE OF THE SERVICE.
- Through this website, We provide a real time Auction service to enable registered users to obtain competitive bids for a range of products/services from a number of invited participants. Registered users of the auction tool will be charged as per their contractual arrangement with Us. We are not Auctioneers.
- You acknowledge and accept that We merely offer a reverse auction tool; the use of which produces a best bid from suppliers who have been invited by registered users to participate in their Auction. The user may not select the supplier with the best bid at Auction. The final selection from bidders is a matter for the Auction owner (a registered user of our Services) and their decision is final. They may elect not to proceed with the commercial transaction at all, either. Auction owners will be encouraged to give feedback to bidders on completion of each Auction.
- We make no warranties or representations about the Services nor give no assurances whatsoever that any participant will bid at auction or provide you with products/services. Participants to Auction will need to be validated in the normal way to satisfy users that they are suitable to their needs. We take no responsibility for any pre or post Auction documentation or supply contracts relating to the Auction’s ensuing commercial activity; this is a matter strictly between the user (Auction Owner) and their selected bidding participant.

GENERAL RULES GOVERNING THE AUCTION
- You can only use the Services (create an auction or make a bid offer) if You are registered. Participants are invited to bid in an Auction by the Auction Owner (A Registered User of our Services). All auctions will:
a. Be permitted by the use of an on-line event credit system managed by Us.
b. Be conducted in selected currencies as stipulated in contracts with Us.
c. Have a start time, duration and bid advancement (increment/decrement) set up beforehand.
d. Dependent on the type of auction selected, show all bids suitably to all Auction participants as they occur. Only the Registered User (Auction Owner) will see who is bidding what; suppliers will see the actual bids and bidders’ details as pre-set by the Auction Owner beforehand. Ranking Auctions by their very nature will not show the value of bids. They will only display each bidder’s ranking compared to fellow competitors.
- Any bid that you make via this Website constitutes an offer to supply or buy the product or service as set out in the pre-auction Request for Proposal (RFP) provided by the Auction Owner. You may not cancel a bid submitted to the Auction except for exceptional circumstances and must abide by the spirit of the auction concept. By bidding to supply an item you agree that it meets the product specification as set out in the RFP. Any bid you make will remain open for stipulated number of days from the day of the Auction as per terms set and communicated by the Auction Owner and will be the price established for future contractual action. In order to become a valid competitive offer, your bid must be better than your previous bid by the bid advancement (increment/decrement) set for the Auction (i.e. the bid advancement is owned by you, not the Auction).

- If a bidder agrees to take up a quote provided and to engage a participant to provide/buy goods and/or services in respect of that quote, the contract for the provision of those goods and/or services is a private one between purchaser and supplier and we will have no responsibility or liability in that regard. It is the Auction Owner’s responsibility and prerogative to establish terms of business between the purchaser and the supplier.
