2.   REGISTERING TO BID

a)         You may access and view parts of the Platform without registering your details including the property pages. However, some areas of the Platform can only be accessed by You if You are an Approved Bidder.

b)         If You decide that You want to Bid on any lot You then need to register to become an Approved Bidder for that Lot.

c)         You confirm that all information and documents provided to Us, the Seller or their representative or any other user of the Platform during the Approved Bidder registration process or at any time via the Platform or otherwise in relation to an Auction are up-to-date, complete, truthful, accurate and not misleading.

d)         As part of the Approved Bidder Registration process We will ask You to provide to Us and/or the Provider of the Bidding Platform services, or any other party providing card payment merchant services in relation to the Platform certain information and documentation which may include information allowing Us to comply with The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 and Proceeds of Crime Act. This comprises of identity and residency verification.

e)         You agree to the identification documents submitted, where necessary, to be verified via a third party verification platform without additional notification to You and if required provide any additional documentation.

f)          If You are acting as a Bidder who is acting as agent on behalf of another party who is intended to be the Purchaser You agree to provide Us with all information reasonably required by Us to assess whether it’s appropriate to authorise You to bid on their behalf. This will include the appropriate proof of identification for that party and We will need to see written authority issued by the intended Purchaser that You may act on their behalf.

g)         You also agree to provide Us with all information reasonably required to identify the source of any funds used to pay the Bidding Deposit or Deposit and the Buyer’s Premium Fee if different from either the Bidder or Purchaser.

h)         As part of the registration process You will be asked to log a debit card, this needs to be the debit card in the name of a source You have provided identification for and the debit card which, where a Bidder Deposit is applicable, the funds will be automatically pre-authorised against, and in the event You are successful automatically deducted from. Therefore importantly please ensure the correct debit card is logged at the time of registration. Please note once a debit card is logged on your account the bidding platform will immediately pre-authorise 10p from that debit card in order to confirm its validity and this will automatically be released back onto the card within 3-5 working days.

i)          We will review your application to register to Bid including the identity of the legal bidder and buyer(s) which will be a party to the sale memorandum. Once your registration information has been verified as follows;

1. Bidding and purchase details provided, ie:

Lot number and property address

Bidder details and Buyers details (if different) Solicitors details (where possible)

Debit card details

1. AML identity documents provided and verified (where necessary via a third party platform)

We will then approve you to bid.  This is subject to us pre-authorising any Bidding Deposit (as detailed in Section 3) that may apply for your chosen lots against your registered debit card.

Please note that any pre-authorisation of funds will only be processed the week the auction commences.

Where a Bidding Deposit is applicable and pre-authorised, should You be the successful bidder, these funds will be retained towards both the contractual deposit (typically 10% of the sales price, subject to a minimum of £2,000) and the buyer’s premium (amount as detailed within the legal documentation applicable to the lot You are bidding on). Any shortfalls to either contractual amounts will be due immediately and should You default on the sale, for whatever reason, any bidding deposit paid is non-refundable and will be retained by Us.

We will notify You by email once your registration is completed and You are approved to bid on the lot(s). We may decline to authorise a Bidder in Our absolute discretion. The cut off for registrations is 12 noon on the Monday of the week of the auction and any bids received after this time may not be accepted. If any alterations to the bid are received after 12 noon the day before the auction commences We cannot guarantee any amendments will be made, it is the bidder’s responsibility to ensure We have all correct information by the above deadline.

3.   BIDDING DEPOSIT

a)         Before You place a Bid We may require a security payment or debit card pre-authorisation amount in advance of the Auction Start Time. This is known as the Bidding Deposit.  Any Bidding Deposit that may apply to a given lot will be listed on the property particulars for the lot.  If no Bidding Deposit is listed, you are not required to make any pre-authorised payment in order to bid.

b)         Depending on the Auction Lot’s specific requirements the Bidding Deposit may take the form of a security payment by a debit card or a payment by transfer direct into Our Client account (or such other nominated account as We require). Client account details are Barclays Bank, Sort Code: 20- 48-46, Account No: 23662071

c)         Alternatively, and in most cases, where We require a pre-authorisation hold on your card to allow You to place a Bid this will be taken automatically once your registration and identity has been satisfied, (as detailed in point 2.g) & 2.h) from the debit card provided. This amount is subject to change but will be as detailed at the point of your approved registration. Funds will not leave a Bidder's account unless such Bidder wins the applicable Auction. [IMPORTANT – Please note that the hold placed over your funds may take up to 7-10 working days to be released in the event that You are not successful at the Auction, depending on your bank/building society.

d)         Payment or pre-authorisations of any Bidders Security Deposit must be made from an account held at a UK clearing bank or building society.

e)         Where We accept payment in advance of the Bidders Security Deposit via debit card or transfer and You are unsuccessful in the applicable Auction, We will return the funds to the originating bank account from which payment was made but please note that this process can take up to 3 working

days to finalise and the hold placed over your funds may take up to 7-10 working days to be released. We shall not pay interest to You on these funds or compensate You for lost interest on these monies.

f)           If You are the winning bidder You:

1. Agree to the identification documents submitted to be verified via a third party verification platform and where necessary provide any required additional documentation to Us immediately.
2. Agree that, where a Bidding Deposit has been paid by You, this will be charged or held by Us as part-payment of the Deposit specified in the Contract of Sale (typically 10% of the sale price, minimum £2,000, and or the Buyer’s Premium Fee. If an over payment has been made You agree that We will retain those funds and they be treated as additional Deposit payment and if the pre-authorisation amount exceeds the total required at the point of exchange, then We will release the hold on the balance over and above the total required amount.
3. If there is a shortfall in any funds due from You as the successful Bidder agree to pay by cleared funds the balance of the Deposit (if any), and Buyer’s Premium Fee (or any other sums due at that point) immediately, and in any event within 1 hour of You being confirmed as being the highest bidder.

g)         You agree to bear any fee charged by your bank, debit card provider in respect of any transaction.

h)         If You as the successful Bidder do not pay the balance and or the whole of the Deposit and Buyer’s Premium Fee immediately, or in any event, within a 1 hour of the initial request being made to You then the Seller may treat this as a repudiation of the Contract of Sale for the relevant property/properties and We may under the instruction of the Seller, reoffer the property for sale and may seek to claim any further losses from You, as the Seller may also do in their own right. Where this occurs, You shall have no right to bring any action or claim against Us, any of Our representatives or any member of the wider corporate group of which We are part of.

i)           We shall take Our fees including any commission and Buyer’s Premium from your Deposit monies which will be primarily be from any pre-authorised monies with any additional shortfall in funds due over and above the pre-authorised amount being debited in addition to the pre-authorised sum.

You also agree You will be jointly and separately liable under the contract of sale with the named Purchaser on whose behalf You have bid as an agent or other representative.

6.   CONDUCT OF THE AUCTION AND BIDDING

a)         The Auction will be conducted in accordance with these Terms, the RICS Common Auction Conditions 4th Edition, Our Extra General Conditions in so far as they are compatible with an online Auction and the functionality of the Auction Platform.

b)         Each Lot will display a planned Auction start time, the planned closing time and the extension period.

c)         The Auction will commence at the start time and a countdown clock will display the time until the Auction ends. The Auction will end at the stated time and date, unless extended by a Bid being received at or above the Reserve in the specified period (normally 1 minute before the intended end time) and then the Auction will continue until there has been a set period where no additional higher Bids have been received (usually 1 minute).

d)         There is no limit to the amount of extension periods and You should note therefore that in a multi- listing Auction irrespective of the Lots starting either at the same time, or sequentially each Lot’s Auction can end in a non-sequential Lot order.

e)         Whilst We will use reasonable endeavours to operate the Auction at the set date and time through the Platform We reserve the right to cancel or suspend the Auction in the event of a hardware, software, server or internet connectivity failure, or otherwise for any other reason that in Our reasonable opinion affects Our ability to properly run the Auction.

f)          We shall use Our reasonable endeavours to re-list or re-start any affected Auction, subject to any specific instructions from the Seller.

g)         We may cancel or rearrange an Auction at Our discretion and the Seller may withdraw, or sell a Lot prior at any point before the planned closing time of the Auction notwithstanding that the Auction has commenced and We shall not be liable to any person for any loss or damage suffered by reason of the fact that the Lot is withdrawn or sold prior, or the Auction is not, or cannot be held at all or at the date and time referred to in the Listing.

h)         It is possible that at any time up to the bidding close time amendments and/or additions may be made to the Conditions of Sale for the Lot or any other matters relating to it. Such amendments are published by means of written addendum. You will be deemed to have knowledge of such matters (including for the avoidance of doubt any late addendums that are added) and if Your bid is successful You will buy subject to them.

i)          Our decision on the conduct and outcome of the Auction via the Platform shall be final.

j)          If You are authorised by Us to Bid on a Property when the Auction opens, You will be able to place Bids on the property listing page in line with the pre-determined bid increment levels, please note a bid submitted outside of these set increment levels cannot be accepted by the bidding platform. Alternatively You may also submit a Maximum Bid. If You place a Maximum Bid the system will automatically bid on your behalf against active bidders, in the pre-set increments detailed on that lot, up to your maximum bid amount. Where the reserve for the property falls at, or below your maximum bid, the system will automatically take the reserve as your opening bid. If your maximum bid is above the reserve then the reserve will be taken as your opening bid and the system will then only continue to bid on your behalf, in the set increments and only up to your maximum bid, if there are other active bidders. So it is the case that You may be the highest bidder, assuming the reserve has been met, at a figure below your maximum bid, if there are no other active bidders.

k)         Bids once made cannot be withdrawn.

I)      The highest unique Bid meeting or exceeding the Reserve Price shall be deemed the successful Bidder.

m)       If two or more Bidders attempt to lodge identical Bids, the first Bid received and acknowledged by the Platform will take precedence.

n)         Each Bidder will be notified of the outcome of an Auction at the end of the Auction.

• o)         We may refuse to accept a Bid in Our sole and absolute discretion without notice or providing a reason.

p)         Where there is a reserve price the seller may bid (or ask Us or another agent to bid on the seller’s behalf) up to the reserve price but may not make a bid equal to or exceeding the reserve price. You accept that it is possible that all bids up to the reserve price are bids made by or on behalf of the seller.

q)         All bidders must appreciate that their offer is binding and that the Auctioneer has full legal power to sign the Contracts on behalf of the Buyer, providing for completion in accordance with the Special Conditions of sale as applicable to that Lot.

r)          We shall have no liability where a bid fails to be received by the Auctioneer or is delayed, or where the bid is made in error for whatever reason.
