13. Fees, Commissions, Purchases, and Referrals

(a) Payment of Fees

You agree to pay any applicable fees, including but not limited to, any initial deposits made as a Buyer in connection with a bid, Buyer’s fees, commissions owed to Classic Vehicle Auction, and Seller listing fees, as set forth on Classic Vehicle Auctions’ website, in connection with bids or for any purchases made of any products, features, and/or services listed on the Digital Services. You also agree to pay any applicable sales, use, or similar taxes or charges, as applicable under this Agreement and required by law. Certain products, fee-based services, or features that you purchase, access, or download via the Digital Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions presented to you at the time of purchase, access, or download. 

All payments made by you to Classic Vehicle Auctions shall be facilitated through Classic Vehicle Auctions’ third party payment processing service, which may be changed from time-to-time by Classic Vehicle Auctions in its sole discretion. All information that you provide in connection with a purchase must be accurate, complete, and current. You agree to pay all charges incurred by any users of your credit card, debit card, or other payment method used in connection with a purchase on the Digital Services at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You also agree to pay any applicable taxes or similar charges, if any, relating to any purchase. 

For any purchases made by a Buyer on or through the Digital Services that involve payment processing with respect to a payment to be made to the Seller, the Buyer agrees to pay the Seller by means of the payment processing method disclosed by the Seller on the Seller’s listing or, if no such method is disclosed, the Buyer agrees to pay seller by means of a reasonable payment processing method.

All amounts listed on the Digital Services shall be in U.S. dollars. 

(b) No Refunds

All purchases made by a Buyer using the Digital Service are between the applicable Buyer and Seller; for that reason, in the event you seek a refund related to a purchase or have any questions, you must directly contact the applicable Seller. ANY FEES OR COMMISSIONS INCURRED BY A BUYER AND OWED TO CLASSIC VEHICLE AUCTIONS IN CONNECTION WITH A PURCHASE OR PURCHASES MADE USING THE DIGITAL SERVICES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE, REGARDLESS OF ANY REFUND NEGOTIATED BETWEEN THE BUYER AND SELLER.

(c) Bidding and Auction 

(i) Reserve and Publication

In order to use the Digital Services to list a vehicle or other product, a Seller is required to indicate whether there is a minimum price at which the Seller is willing to consider a sale to a Buyer (the “Reserve”) or whether no such minimum bid is required (“No Reserve”). A Seller may reduce or waive a Reserve during the auction by notifying Classic Vehicle Auctions of such change via email or, if available, Classic Vehicle Auctions’ web-based notification tools made available to Seller. Classic Vehicle Auctions will only approve a listing for publication on the Digital Services once a Seller has either selected a Reserve or selected No Reserve for the applicable listing. 

If an item is listed on the Digital Services with a Reserve and if no bid has met the Seller’s Reserve, Classic Vehicle Auctions may, at its sole discretion, pay the Seller a separate amount to make up the difference between the highest bid and the Reserve so that the highest bid then meets the Reserve and the item will be sold to the Buyer placing the highest bid. If Classic Vehicle Auctions chooses to exercise this right, the highest bidding Buyer becomes the winning Buyer and is responsible for all obligations that a winning Buyer is otherwise responsible for under this Agreement when the Reserve is met, except that Classic Vehicle Auctions will be responsible for paying the Seller the difference between (1) the Reserve placed on the item and (2) the highest bid placed by the winning Buyer. The winning Buyer is responsible for all taxes, fees, charges, expenses, commissions, and similar costs, including any commissions owed to Classic Vehicle Auctions, except that Classic Vehicle Auctions will either pay the Seller or not charge the Buyer for the portion of any taxes, fees, charges, commissions, or similar costs or expenses that are variable and directly attributable to the portion of the purchase price that Classic Vehicle Auctions is responsible to pay to Seller under this provision. IF CLASSIC VEHICLE AUCTIONS EXERCISES THIS RIGHT, ALL PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY EXERCISING SUCH RIGHT, CLASSIC VEHICLE AUCTIONS IS ENGAGING IN AN INDEPENDENT TRANSACTION AND DOES NOT, IN ANY WAY, BECOME A PARTY TO THE SALE OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION BETWEEN THE BUYER AND THE SELLER. 

(ii) Seller Acknowledgments 

If you or any other User submits a vehicle or other product or service to sell on the Digital Services, and Classic Vehicle Auctions accepts such vehicle, product, or service, then you, or such other User, are considered a “Seller” on the Digital Services. You are responsible in all respects for the User Content and any other information related to any vehicle, product, or service you decide to sell, and you acknowledge that any vehicle, product, or service that you submit to sell on the Digital Services is honestly, completely, and accurately represented on the Digital Services.

Specifically, in addition to acknowledging that it is your responsibility to honestly, completely, and accurately represent any vehicle, product, or service that you submit to sell on the Digital Services, you further acknowledge that: 

  • You are the true and lawful owner of the vehicle, product, or service being sold, or that you are duly appointed and authorized to sell the vehicle, product, or service on behalf of the true and lawful owner (in which case you agree to fully disclose the identity of the true and lawful owner and the fact of the representative relationship);
  • Any vehicle that you submit to sell on the Digital Services is free from all liens and encumbrances;
  • You have the right and full power and authority to sell and transfer title to any vehicle that you submit to sell on the Digital Services; and
  • You will warrant and defend any vehicle that you submit to sale on the Digital Services against the claims and demands of all persons who may bring such claims. 

As a Seller, you are fully responsible in all respects for consummating the transaction with the applicable Buyer in accordance with the Agreement. This responsibility includes, but is not limited to, fully completing the sale of any vehicle, product, or service to the winning bidder of any auction held on the Digital Services. The Seller’s responsibilities are not altered in any way when the Seller’s Reserve is met by means of the process described in subsection (c)(i) of this section 13. 

IN THE EVENT A USER ACCESSES OR USES THE DIGITAL SERVICES TO SELL A VEHICLE OR OTHER PRODUCT OR SERVICE AS A SELLER, ANY SUCH USER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT FOLLOWING PUBLICATION AND FOR THE PERIOD THAT SUCH SELLER’S LISTING IS MADE AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE DIGITAL SERVICES, SUCH SELLER MAY NOT LIST, POST, OR OTHERWISE MAKE AVAILABLE THE APPLICABLE VEHICLE OR OTHER PRODUCT OR SERVICE ON ANY OTHER AUCTION, DEALERSHIP, OR LISTING SERVICE. FURTHERMORE, EACH SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT AT ANY TIME FOLLOWING PUBLICATION, SELLER’S LISTING MAY BE REMOVED BY CLASSIC VEHICLE AUCTIONS (IN CLASSIC VEHICLE AUCTIONS’ SOLE DISCRETION).

In addition to all other representations made by you as the Seller in connection with any vehicle, product, or service that you submit for sale on the Digital Services, it is your responsibility to specify in your listing how payment should be submitted to you by the Buyer. To the extent that you fail to do so, you will accept payment by the Buyer in any reasonable form.

(iii) Buyer Acknowledgments

IF YOU MAKE A BID ON A VEHICLE THAT IS FOR AUCTION AND YOU ARE THE HIGHEST BIDDER AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE AUCTION OR YOU SUBMIT A PURCHASE OFFER ON A VEHICLE AND THE SELLER ACCEPTS SUCH OFFER, YOU ARE UNCONDITIONALLY OBLIGATED TO COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION. This obligation includes, but is not limited to, making full and final payment of the highest bid, as well as any associated fees, commissions, taxes, registration, titling fees, regulatory, and electronic processing charges, inspection charges, emission testing charges, and any other fees or expenses required by this Agreement or by law.
