4 Listings

4.1 Sellers may use their Account to post an accurate and complete description of any Goods that they wish to sell through the Site (Listing). The Listing may be for a fixed-fee (Buy Now), or, Sellers may choose to sell Goods through a bidding process (Place a Bid), or a combination of both.

4.2 Buy Now Listings of Goods should include the price payable by the Buyer that is inclusive of all costs, including any payment processing fees and other fees, applicable delivery costs and applicable GST (can be displayed separately). These amounts, collectively, are the “Purchase Price”. All amounts are to be stated in New Zealand dollars.

4.3 For Place a Bid Listings, the Seller will set the starting price, the reserve price, and if they would also like to provide an instant purchase option, a Buy Now price. Unless otherwise set out on the Site, Auctions run for 2 weeks (Bidding Period). A Seller is not obligated to accept a bid unless the reserve price is met. Where a Seller turns the “Place a Bid” feature on for a Listing, the Seller agrees that we may notify them about any bids made on the Listing. For Place a Bid Listings, the Purchase Price is the amount of the highest bid (subject to the reserve price being met), plus any payment processing fees and other fees, applicable delivery costs and applicable GST (which the Seller must set out in the Listing).

4.4 As a Seller, you agree:

(a) that you are legally entitled to, and capable of, supplying the Goods described in any Listing (including, that you have good title to the Goods and they are free from any encumbrances);

(b) to provide all details requested by us about the Goods in a Listing, including an accurate description, up to date photographs and the price of the Goods (as reasonably determined by you), and any other details requested by us;

(c) that we may at any time and for any reason reject the Listing, or remove the Listing from our Site, in our reasonable discretion; and

(d) that the Goods will be available for Buyers to order on our Site, unless the Listing for the Goods are removed by you or marked as out of stock.

4.5 As a Seller, you may choose to purchase a featured listing, as set out on our Site, so that your Goods appear on certain banners, pages or positions on our Site, to help you promote your Goods (Featured Listing). Any order placed through the Site by you is an offer by you to purchase a Featured Listing for the price notified, including any taxes (Featured Listing Price) at the time you place your order. It is your responsibility to check the inclusions in the Featured Listing, including positioning, length of time that the Featured Listing will be live and Featured Listing Price. We may, at our absolute discretion, accept or reject an offer by you to purchase a Featured Listing. When you order and pay on the Site and your payment has been validated, we will provide you with an order confirmation email. If we reject your order after you have paid for the Featured Listing, we will refund you the Featured Listing Price.

5 Automotive vehicles

5.1 We are not a seller or reseller of any automotive vehicles and our services are limited to providing a Site for Sellers to advertise automotive vehicles, generate leads and for other purposes set out in clause 1.6.

5.2 If you are a Seller selling automotive vehicles, you will only be able to list Goods on the Site to advertise and promote them and generate leads.

5.3 Buyers can express interest for automotive vehicles on the Site but cannot order an automotive vehicle through the Site.

5.4 All sales of automotive vehicles must occur independently of the Site and we do not accept any Liability for any part of the sale.

5.5 If you are a Seller, you must comply with all laws in relation to the sale and/or resale of automotive vehicles.

5.6 If you are a Seller, you agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless in respect of, any Liability that we may suffer, incur or otherwise become liable for, arising from or in connection with a breach you or any of your personnel of any part of this clause 5.

6 Orders

6.1 A Buyer may order Goods, or place a bid for Goods, from Sellers as set out in Listings on the Site. Any order or bid placed through the Site is an offer by the Buyer to purchase a particular Good or Goods from the Seller for the Purchase Price specified in the Listing or the amount of the relevant bid, and in accordance with any terms and conditions set out in the Listing, at the time the Buyer places the order or bid.

6.2 It is the Buyer’s responsibility to check the Listing details, including selected Goods and pricing, before submitting an order or making a bid through the Site.

6.3 For “Buy Now” purchases, when the Buyer orders and pays on the Site the order is deemed accepted by the Seller and results in a separate binding agreement between the Seller and the Buyer for the supply of Good in accordance with the Terms (Order). Once the payment by the Buyer has been validated, we will provide the Buyer with an Order confirmation email, which may include an Order number, an Order ID, the delivery and billing addresses and a description of what was ordered.

6.4 If you are a Buyer and the relevant listing has the “Place a Bid” feature activated, you may either purchase the Good for a fixed-fee through the “Buy Now” feature (if activated) or, place a bid to buy the Goods for less than the Buy Now price (Bid). If there is no Buy Now price, you may place a Bid for any amount you like (subject to the starting price and reserve price). We may limit the number of Bids Buyers can make. You must not place a Bid for an amount you are not willing or able to pay for the Good, as you will not be able to withdraw your Bid once you have made it. If you have the highest Bid at the end of the Auction period for that Good (provided it meets the reserve price), you will be deemed to have made an Order, and you will be liable to pay the price for that Good in accordance with your Bid and we will charge your nominated card for the Order.

6.5 You must not engage in bid manipulation. Bid manipulation is any practice which unfairly induces other users to make bids or controls the bid price. This includes (but is not limited to) bidding in a way that pulls other bidders to their maximum bid, retracting the high bid, and then re-bidding at a small increment above the legitimate high bidder or employing shill bidding, which is, the use of secondary registrations, associates or aliases to artificially raise the bidding on an item). Buyers are also prohibited from communicating with each other for the common purpose of manipulating the final purchase price of a Good.

9 Availability and Cancellation (applicable to Buyers only)

9.1 All orders made through the Site are subject to availability. While we do our best to require that Sellers keep Goods (including available volumes) up to date so that the Site reflects the Goods that are actually available for purchase, this may not always be the case.

9.2 We or the relevant Seller reserves the right to cancel, at any time before delivery and for whatever reason, an order that we or the Seller has previously accepted, including where there is a considerable delay in dispatching your order, if for any reason a Seller cannot supply the Goods you order (for example due to an event beyond our or a Seller’s reasonable control) or if the Goods ordered were subject to an error on our Site (for example in relation to a description, price or image). We or the Seller will contact you using the details you provided when you placed your order and offer you a refund.

10 Delivery, Title and Risk (applicable to Buyers only)

12.5 Where you wish to return Goods to seek a remedy under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you will need to cover any associated costs (for example, delivery costs) of you returning the Goods. Where your claim is a valid claim under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, the Seller will refund your return delivery costs and either dispatch a new or repaired replacement Good or refund you the Purchase Price of the relevant Good.

12.6 Nothing in these Terms attempts to modify or exclude the conditions, warranties and undertakings, and other legal rights, under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, the Fair Trading Act 1986 or any other obligations that cannot be restricted or modified at law (Statutory Rights).

20 Capricorn Society Members

20.1 In this clause 20, Capricorn Society means the Capricorn Society Limited (ACN 008 347 313), a membership-based organisation that offers members benefits, including instant credit for the Capricorn Society’s range of preferred suppliers.

20.2 We have partnered with the Capricorn Society so that their members can receive additional benefits when they use our Site (additional features are set out on the Site).

20.3 If you are a member of the Capricorn Society and a Buyer or Trader, you may choose to link your Capricorn Society membership to your Account. To link your Capricorn Society membership to your Account, you will need to upload your Capricorn Society membership card as an image for our approval. We will notify you if your request to link your Capricorn Society membership has been successful. Following a successful verification with the Capricorn Society, we will send you a confirmation email. If you are a Trader, we will display an icon on your profile and in your Listings to indicate that you are a Capricorn Society supplier.

20.4 If you are a Buyer and have successfully linked your Capricorn Society membership in accordance with clause 20.3, when you are ordering Good(s), you will be able to request for the Capricorn Society to pay the relevant Purchase Price on your behalf, in accordance with your membership terms with the Capricorn Society.

20.5 If you are a Trader, you acknowledge that Capricorn Society members may request for the Capricorn Society to pay the relevant Purchase Price on their behalf, in which case once the Buyer has submitted an order, you agree to (1) verify through your Capricorn Society account that the transaction was validated and to contact us immediately and not supply the Goods if it was not validated; (2) send an invoice to the Capricorn Society for payment of the Purchase Price; (3) to fulfill the relevant order within your standard time frame; and (4) that the Capricorn Society is solely liable to you for paying you the Purchase Price on the terms of your agreement with them and we do not accept any Liability for any debt you accrue from the Capricorn Society.

20.6 Our integration with the Capricorn Society is live and if at any time a Buyer or Seller ceases being a Capricorn Society member, any order that a Buyer tries to make using their Capricorn Society benefits will fail.

20.7 Despite anything to the contrary, if both the Buyer and Seller are Capricorn Society members and the Buyer chooses to purchase Goods through their Capricorn Society membership:

(a) when the Buyer orders on the Site, the order is deemed accepted by the Seller and results in a separate binding agreement between the Seller and the Buyer for the supply of Good in accordance with the Terms;

(b) notwithstanding a Buyer’s obligation to pay the Capricorn Society for any Goods ordered, the Buyer’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price directly to the Seller at the time of ordering is waived (and such Purchase Price will be paid by the Capricorn Society to the Seller in accordance with the Seller’s arrangement with the Capricorn Society);

(c) title in the Goods will pass from the Seller to the Buyer on delivery of the Goods; and

(d) we reserve the right to cancel any order, at any time before the Seller has dispatched the Good(s), if the order was subject to a technical issue or an error on our Site (for example, in relation to verification of a Capricorn Society membership). If a technical issue or error occurs, we will contact both the Buyer and Seller using the details provided when on registration and we may, in or sole discretion, cancel the order, in which case the Buyer will not receive the order and the Seller agrees not to supply the Good(s) and that they will not be compensated by us or the Capricorn Society for the Purchase Price.

20.8 Despite anything to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for, and you waive and release us from and against, any Liability caused or contributed to by, arising from or connected with any aspect of your interaction, agreements or membership with the Capricorn Society, including their arrangement where they assist Buyers to pay Sellers upfront for Goods.

21 General

21.1 Access: The Site may be accessed in New Zealand and overseas. We make no representation that the Site complies with the laws (including intellectual property laws) of any country outside of New Zealand. If you access the Site from outside New Zealand, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for complying with the laws in the place you access the Site.

21.2 Amendment: We may, at any time and at our discretion, vary these Terms by publishing varied terms on the Site. Where you are a Buyer, you must cease to use the service and Site and may terminate these Terms in accordance with clause 17.1 (Termination) if you do not agree to the amended Terms. As a Buyer, prior to placing an order, we recommend you carefully read the terms that are in effect at that time to ensure you understand and agree to them. For any order that has been accepted by a Seller, the terms and conditions that apply to that order will be the ones that were in effect (and which you as a Buyer agreed to) when you as a Buyer placed your order. Where you are a Trader, the new Terms will apply from the date your Membership next renews. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you should terminate these Terms and delete your Account.

21.3 Assignment: You must not assign or deal with the whole or any part of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.

21.4 Disputes: In relation to a dispute, controversy or claim arising from, or in connection with, these Terms (including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination) (Dispute) between a Buyer and us, or a Seller and us, a party may not commence court proceedings relating to a Dispute without first meeting with a senior representative of the other party to seek (in good faith) to resolve the Dispute. If the parties cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute at that initial meeting, either party may refer the matter to a mediator. If the parties cannot agree on who the mediator should be, either party may ask the President of the New Zealand Law Society to appoint a mediator. The mediator will decide the time, place and rules for mediation. The parties agree to attend the mediation in good faith, to seek to resolve the Dispute. The costs of the mediation will be shared equally between the parties. Nothing in this clause will operate to prevent a party from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. This clause will survive expiry or termination of these Terms.

21.5 Email: You agree that we are able to send electronic mail to you and receive electronic mail from you. You release us from any Liability you may have as a result of any unauthorised copying, recording, reading or interference with that document or information after transmission, for any delay or non-delivery of any document or information and for any damage caused to your system or any files by a transfer.

21.6 Feedback and complaints: We are always looking to improve our services. If you have any feedback or a complaint, please notify us on our contact details below and we will take reasonable steps to address any concerns you have.

21.7 Force Majeure: We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform our obligations under these Terms if such delay is due to any circumstance beyond our reasonable control (including but not limited to epidemics, pandemics, and Government sanctioned restrictions and orders, whether known or unknown at the time of entering into these Terms) (Force Majeure Event).

21.8 Governing law: These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts operating in New Zealand and any courts entitled to hear appeals from those courts and waives any right to object to proceedings being brought in those courts.

21.9 Notices: Any notice given under these Terms must be in writing addressed to us at the address at the end of these Terms or to you at the address last provided to us (whether through your Account, the Seller Panel, or your last order). Any notice may be sent by standard post or email, and will be deemed to have been served on the expiry of 2 Business Days in the case of post, or at the time of transmission in the case of transmission by email (or, where the time of transmission is not on a Business Day, 9am on the next Business Day).

21.10 Photographs: If you provide us with photographs of the Goods, including via email or by tagging us on social media, you consent to us publishing such photographs and details (including but not limited to your name, location and date) for our marketing purposes including on the Site and social media.

21.11 Relationship of Parties: These Terms are not intended to create a partnership, joint venture, employment or agency relationship (except to the extent set out in the Payment clause as limited payment collection agent) between the parties.

21.12 Severance: If a provision of these Terms is held to be void, invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision is to be read down as narrowly as necessary to allow it to be valid or enforceable, failing which, that provision (or that part of that provision) will be severed from these Terms without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder of that provision or the other provisions in these Terms.

21.13 Third Party Links: Our Site may contain links to websites operated by third parties. Unless we tell you otherwise, we do not control, endorse or approve, and are not responsible for, the content on those websites. We recommend that you make your own investigations with respect to the suitability of those websites.

21.14 Waiver: Any failure or delay by a party in exercising a power or right (either wholly or partly) in relation to these Terms does not operate as a waiver or prevent a party from exercising that power or right or any other power or right. A waiver must be in writing.

21.15 Seller insurance: Where you are a Trader, we may request that you provide evidence of your insurance. Where we do so, we are not confirming that the insurance you have is sufficient or suitable for the Goods you choose to provide to Buyers. If we do not ask you to provide evidence of insurance this does not indicate that we believe you do not require insurance. You acknowledge and agree it is your responsibility to make your own investigations and receive professional advice on the insurance you require.
