Salvex Web Site Terms and Conditions

1.1 The services provided by Salvex Group, Inc. ("SALVEX") through the SALVEX Web Site (the "Site") and the SALVEX AuctionïTM are undertaken by SALVEX in accordance with these terms (the "Terms").

1.2 Users who wish to become prospective buyers or sellers of Products shall register with the Site by selecting a login ID and personal password and providing any other required registration information.

1.3 Users who log-in represent and warrant that (a) all information provided during registration is accurate and complete and (b) all registration information from time to time will be updated so that it is kept current, accurate and complete at all times. Users are solely responsible for all conduct and transmissions that take place under their respective login ID and passwords. SALVEX may request additional information at any time with respect to registration information. SALVEX may, in its sole and absolute discretion, refuse to accept a User's registration, and may terminate a User's rights to continue using the Site for any reason at any time.

1.4 SALVEX collects generic information using IP addresses that do not identify Users directly, to help diagnose problems with the SALVEX server, administer the Site, analyze trends, track Users' movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use in order to improve the Site. The Site Privacy Policy, which can be accessed at Privacy Policy, shall apply at all times.

1.5 These Terms are in force at any time a User uses the Site in any way. If a User disagrees with these Terms, the sole remedy is for the User to terminate its use of the Site. Upon any termination of a User's right to use the Site, these Terms shall survive termination with respect to any use or transactions for the sale or purchase of Products occurring prior to termination.

2.1 A prospective seller ("Seller") of Products must have the legal authority to sell the Products it lists for sale on the Site, free and clear of any liens, claims or other encumbrances. Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to supply accurate information for each listing of Products, including quantity and condition (the ”Listing Description”). SALVEX shall have no responsibility for the Listing Description. SALVEX reserves the right to reject any Products from posting on the Site.

2.2 Any resale restrictions, transfer costs, load-out requirements, taxes, fees or special conditions required by the Seller must be clearly set forth in the Listing Description. Since the terms of any sale of Products are strictly between the Buyer and the Seller, the enforcement of any resale restrictions shall be as agreed between the Seller and Buyer.

2.3 Once a SALVEX AuctionTM begins, the Seller may not update or change the Listing Description without SALVEX approval. If any updates or changes are required for accuracy, it is the sole responsibility of the Seller to notify SALVEX in a timely manner.

2.4 Seller agrees that payment to SALVEX for its services in connection with a Listing Description, the SALVEX AuctionTM and facilitating the sale of Products as between Seller and a registered buyer ("Buyer") shall be in the form of either a Performance Based Commission or Exclusive Listing Commission.

3.1 Under the SALVEX AuctionTMa Buyer is invited to submit a bid amount for the purchase of the Products to SALVEX only prior to the established ending time ("Bid Amount"). No Bid Amount may be submitted with changes to these Terms. Buyer should carefully review the Listing Description and any applicable Buyer Premium prior to submitting a Bid Amount. A Bid Amount is not retractable except in extraordinary circumstances as determined solely by SALVEX. SALVEX reserves the right to reject or void any Bid Amount in the sole discretion of SALVEX.

3.2 When a Bid Amount is submitted ”Subject to Inspection”, the funding requirements set forth in these Terms shall apply.

3.3 At the end of a SALVEX AuctionTM, the Seller may accept the Net Bid Amount. The ”Net Bid Amount” is the Bid Amount less any SALVEX Performance Based Commission or Exclusive Listing Commission amount (collectively the ”Commission”). If the Seller agrees to sell the Product at the Net Bid Amount, the Buyer will be promptly notified by SALVEX, at which time the Seller and Buyer as between each other are obligated to complete the sale and purchase of the Products.

4.1 The time period for a SALVEX AuctionTM will be determined by SALVEX and will usually extend from 7 to 14 days, except in the event Products are perishable, and in that event the SALVEX AuctionTM will usually extend for a period of no more than 24 hours. At the discretion of SALVEX, the SALVEX AuctionTM period may be extended for varying periods of time. process

4.2 SALVEX is not a traditional auctioneer or broker. SALVEX is not involved in forming the actual transaction between a Buyer and Seller. SALVEX is neither an agent, partner, nor joint venturer of a Buyer nor Seller. SALVEX does not take title to Products at any point in time in a transaction between a Buyer and Seller. SALVEX has no control over the quality, safety or legality of the Products, the truth or accuracy of the Listing Description, the ability of a Seller to sell Products or the ability of a Buyer to buy Products. SALVEX is furthermore not a principal or participant of the underlying transaction between Buyer and Seller.

4.3 For Products sold by a Seller during a SALVEX AuctionTM, SALVEX will be paid a Commission (deducted from the Bid Amount and which becomes the Net Bid Amount). Unless Seller and SALVEX agree to an Exclusive Listing Commission, the Commission payable to SALVEX will be a Performance Based Commission and will equal no less than $500 and is based on the level of SALVEX services, the type of Product, and the SALVEX AuctionTM; which amount will be determined in the sole discretion of SALVEX. An Exclusive Listing Commission amount will be a fixed percentage of the Bid Amount as stated in writing signed by the Seller and SALVEX.

5.1 Some Products sold in a SALVEX Auction TM are subject to a ”Buyer Premium” which will be stated on the Listing Description.

5.2 At the end of a SALVEX AuctionTM and upon acceptance by Seller of the Net Bid Amount, SALVEX will notify the Buyer. At that time SALVEX will provide the Buyer with a funding request for payment of the Bid Amount, and a Buyer’s Premium if applicable (the ”Product Funding Request”). At the election of SALVEX the Product Funding Request may be in the form of a SALVEX Deposit Agreement or Escrow Agreement. No later than 48 hours after notification, the Buyer is required to pay the Bid Amount in good and sufficient funds, which becomes the Product Funding Amount. Where a Buyer Premium is set out in the Listing Description, which is not subject to discount, this amount is added to the Bid Amount and becomes the Product Funding Amount.

5.3 When a Bid Amount is ”Subject to Inspection”, the Product Funding Amount shall be paid to SALVEX and Buyer shall have 48 hours to conduct its inspection and advise SALVEX of its rejection of the Products and in that event the Product Funding Amount shall be returned to Buyer. In all events, Buyer is required to conduct its inspection for condition, quantity and quality of the Products.

5.4 If the Buyer fails to timely pay the Product Funding Amount, then the Buyer is obligated to pay a penalty equal to $500 and shall be deemed in default and forfeits its rights to purchase the Products, in which case the Seller may sell the Products to another Buyer. In the event of a default a Buyer will also be barred from bidding on other SALVEX AuctionsTM until the default penalty is paid. The defaulting Buyer may also be subject to other claims, damages or liabilities to the Seller.

5.5 Upon SALVEX's receipt of a Product Funding Amount in good and sufficient funds, the Seller shall provide and SALVEX shall notify Buyer of a scheduled release date (the "Release Date"), which is the date by which Buyers may either take possession of the Products or assume control of the Products (such as when the Products are in a third party storage facility).

5.6 SALVEX will distribute to Seller, the Product Funding Amount less the Buyer Premium if applicable and less the SALVEX Commission (the "Net Product Funding Amount") upon the earlier of (a) the notification of Buyer to pay the Net Product Funding Amount to Seller, (b) the release of the Products to Buyer or (c) within the agreed payment term as between Seller and Buyer. Any Products that have not been picked up within 5 days after the Release Date will be deemed abandoned and Buyer will forfeit all rights to the abandoned Products. If Seller does not make the Products available by the Release Date, SALVEX will notify both parties and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Seller to release the Products in a timely manner. The Product Funding Amount will be refunded to the Buyer within thirty (30) days of the failure of Seller to release the Products in the event Buyer has not otherwise notified SALVEX to release the Product Funding Amount to the Buyer or the terms of sale as between Seller and Buyer do not otherwise require the release of the Product Funding Amount to Seller. The failure of a Seller to release the Products may be subject to other claims, damages or liabilities of the Buyer only.

5.7 Any claims of material shortages in quantity or other material discrepancies of the Products from their posted description must be communicated to SALVEX within twenty-four (24) hours after the Products are released to Buyer. SALVEX shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such claim with the Seller for the Buyer’s account and shall otherwise have no liability to Buyer for such shortages or material discrepancies.

5.8 Should SALVEX become involved in litigation or other proceedings of any nature on account of the Product Funding Amount solely because it holds the Product Funding Amount, Buyer and Seller agree to pay SALVEX, in addition to any commissions hereunder, reasonable attorney's fees incurred by SALVEX and any other costs and expenses resulting from such actions, all of which may be deducted from the Product Funding Amount prior to their disbursement by SALVEX.

5.9For any agreement on the sale of Products unless otherwise agreed to in writing as between Buyer and Seller, Buyer and Seller agree: (a) ALL PRODUCTS ARE SOLD "AS IS, WHERE IS" WITH NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE TERMS OF SALE FOR SUCH ITEM AND LABELED AS A "WARRANTY"; (b) IN NO EVENT SHALL BUYER OR SELLER BE LIABLE TO EACH OTHER FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, OR ANY LOST REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH TRANSACTION; and(c) IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LIABILITY OF SELLER TO BUYER, OR BUYER TO SELLER, FOR ANY SUCH TRANSACTION EXCEED THE BID AMOUNT OF THE PRODUCTS.

5.10 For any completed purchase, the Bid Amount, the Net Bid Amount, the Product Funding Amount, the Net Product Funding Amount, the Buyer Premium, SALVEX Performance Based Commission or Exclusive Listing Commission amounts are confidential and will not be released to other parties.

SALVEX is not obligated to determine whether any such taxes apply and is not responsible for collecting, remitting, or reporting any such taxes arising from any transaction.
