3. Concluding a Contract in an Auction
3.1 Naledimotors.co.bw Auction Conditions
3.1.1 Users may not manipulate the course of an auction by making bids via another user account or through the express intervention of a third party. The Seller, in particular, shall be prohibited from placing bids on the objects he is auctioning during the bidding period. The auctioning of objects is prohibited where their tendering, sale, or purchase violates the statutory regulations or the rules of common decency. In particular, objects may not be described or put up for auction if their advertising, tendering or sale violates copyright and intellectual property rights, industrial property rights or any other rights (e.g. the right to one’s own image, name and personality).
3.2 Auction Procedure
3.2.1 The beginning, end and course of an auction shall be controlled by Naledi Motors . Naledi Motors reserves the right to cancel or alter scheduled auctions. Only in exceptional cases shall Naledi Motors GmbH be entitled to invalidate auctions without given reason, without a legal claim ensuing on the User's part. Invalidation may take place before or during an auction.
3.3 Placing Items for Auction
3.3.1 The Seller must place objects for auction in the appropriate category, with a correct and complete written and illustrated description. This shall include an accurate indication of all the essential properties and features required to make a purchase, and any defects likely to reduce the object's value, i.e be a truthful statement of its actual condition. Furthermore, the Seller must give Users full information as to who owns the object under tender, the owner's right to put it up for auction, and the details of payment and collection.
The description and images used must not violate third party rights and must refer solely to the object under tender (original photographs). Descriptions, drawings and photographs may not contain any advertising for anything other than the object under tender, and especially not include links to a personal website, telephone numbers, etc.
Where Naledi Motors is the Seller, objects being auctioned will be described by a contract partner or service provider, without Naledi Motors conducting a second appraisal.
3.4 Description Discrepancies
3.4.1 Should, in the Buyer's view, the defects of an object on auction exceed those described by the Seller, Naledi Motors is entitled to obtain an expert opinion, which shall be binding for the partners to the contract. The ensuing costs shall be paid by the party responsible for an established or non-established discrepancy; if only a slight, or no discrepancy is ascertained, the ensuing costs shall be borne by the Buyer. See Sect. 4.3.1. for further information.
3.5 Placement
3.5.1 By placing an object on an Naledi Motors website, the Seller declares his prior binding acceptance of a Bidder’s highest offer at the end of the bidding period, as long as the bid meets the minimum stipulated price. The Seller also expressly declares his agreement to sell the auctioned object to the bidder should no higher bids be made.
3.6 Bidding Rules, Binding Period
3.6.1 The Bidder shall make a bid by entering a sum of money within the bidding period. All offers shall be gross amounts. Should two bidders offer the same price, the first bid to be entered shall be considered the higher.
The Bidder's bid shall be binding until invalidated by a higher bid. Should the Bidder not be outbid and the floor price not met, the offer shall remain valid for a 48-hour period (working days) following the end of the online auction, unless another ruling is agreed to.
Bids already submitted may not be lowered or invalidated unless the Bidder has legal permission to do so, for example via the recision regulations of the German Civil Code. All submitted bids will be registered and stored by Naledi Motors . Naledi Motors shall resolve any uncertainties that arise regarding bids in a manner binding for all the contracting parties.
3.7 Sales Agreement
3.7.1 As long as the floor price is attained, at the end of the online auction a sales agreement will be concluded between the Seller and the highest bidder, in which their rights and obligations shall primarily be in accordance with Sections 4, 5, and 6 of these Auction Terms.
When an object had been purchased, Naledi Motors shall send the sales contract to the Seller and the Buyer. The contracts Naledi Motors sends must be checked for accuracy. At the same time, they will be placed on the respective user accounts at Naledimotors.co.bw.
4. Collection and Buyer's Right of Inspection
4.1 Location
4.1.1 Purchased vehicles/objects must be collected by the Buyer at his own expense, from the location stated by the Seller in his notice of sale or on the website. The Seller shall provide the address of the location. Should no exact address be indicated in the postal code area, the vehicle shall be picked up at the Seller’s address.
4.2 Collection Deadline / Lump Sum Compensation
4.2.1 All vehicles must be collected by the Buyer at the stated location, within 5 working days of receiving a so-called "notification of release". Notification generally follows immediately after payment of the purchase price has been received.
Where payment is not handled by Naledi Motors, the Buyer is obliged to pick up vehicles within 5 working days after receiving Naledi Motors electronic sales contracts.
Should these terms not be complied with, Naledi Motors reserves the right to invalidate the purchase due to default (of the payment periods stated in the contract and the final date of payment stated in the invoice) and to market the vehicle elsewhere. The Buyer shall be sent a reminder to pay that states the lump compensation sum, following which he shall be invoiced for the auction fees, and, if need be, any price reductions resulting from a subsequent sale and any demurrage costs incurred by the dealer. The Buyer shall be permitted to provide proof that Naledi Motors incurred significantly lower damages or none at all.
4.3 Buyer’s Warranty Claims for Defects
4.3.1 Conditions / Inspection
The sale of second-hand objects shall essentially be on a "purchase as is” basis, i.e. without any warranty. The Buyer is therefore obliged to inspect a vehicle thoroughly prior to acceptance, to determine whether it matches the description of the vehicle under auction. Obvious defects likely to impair the object's value must be contested on the spot, and the Seller and Naledi Motors reprimanded within 48 hours. Naledi Motors must be notified by telephone of such defects prior to this on: +267 3956217 or by email, at: khupel@naledimotors.co.bw.
4.3.2 Price Reductions
Sections 3.4 and 4.3.1 shall apply in the event of a substantial discrepancy in the description. Section 7 shall remain unaffected.
5. Other Rights and Obligations of the Parties to the Contract
5.1 Transfer of Risk
5.1.1 When a vehicle is accepted, the risk of accidental deterioration and destruction shall pass to the Buyer or his agent.
5.2 Seller's Obligations
5.2.1 Particulars on how the object under auction is equipped and descriptions of its condition shall be drawn up by the Seller, or the experts engaged by him, and be incorporated in the descriptions to the best of their knowledge and belief.
5.3 Seller 's Rights
5.3.1 The Seller shall be entitled to withdraw from a contract should the Buyer declare his credit status incorrectly, stop payments or have applied for insolvency or composition proceedings for his assets.
Should the sold object be damaged, lost or destroyed before risk is transferred to the Buyer, through no fault of the Seller, the Seller shall be entitled to withdraw from the sales agreement if he reports the damage, loss or destruction to the Buyer at once and returns the purchase price to him immediately.
No further claims shall exist after a withdrawal and purchase price reimbursement of this kind.
6. Data Protection
6.1
6.1.1 In the event of a contract being concluded between the contracting parties on the Internet platform, Naledi Motors will pass on the data they require to contact each other. The contracting partner in question shall agree to Naledi Motors passing on his particulars (delivery address, bank account number) to the relevant partner to the contract at the end of the auction period, so the contract may be concluded. This shall only apply to Bidders who have placed the highest bids or to those who become contracting partners due to other agreements.
All partners to contracts are strictly prohibited from engaging in any kind of advertising with the postal or e-mail addresses, or the contact information thus obtained.
In addition, the contracting parties shall agree to their personal data – i.e. particulars collected and/or entered on the Naledi Motors Internet platform during the registration process, the setting up and handling of a contract, or any other procedure – being stored on Naledi Motors servers. Naledi Motors will only process and use such data in the execution and handling of the rights and obligations for which it is responsible under the contractual relationship.
Naledi Motors shall be entitled to process, use and transfer personal data to the prosecuting authority, even after the end of a User relationship, to help safeguard overriding interests when clarifying misuse of the Internet platform and for prosecution purposes.
7. Governing Law, Place of Jurisdiction, Other Provisions
7.1
7.1.1 The Seller/Buyer place of performance and place of jurisdiction shall be the Seller’s address, even for legal action, should a claim concerning the payment of bills of exchange or cheques be asserted.
Should separate parts of these Auction Terms be or become invalid, this does not relieve the Buyer of his obligation to accept the purchased goods and comply with the other terms of the agreement. The validity of the other provisions will not be affected by this. In this case, the contracting parties shall agree that the invalid provision shall be substituted by one that economically comes closest to the original provision.
Buyer’s rights arising from the purchase agreement shall not be transferable.
