Changes to Services, Website and Terms and Conditions. User acknowledges and agrees that Best1wins may change, modify, amend, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Services or the Website, at any time, without notice and without liability to User or to any third party. Best1wins reserves the right to impose limits on certain features of the Services or the Website, at any time, without notice and without liability to User or to any third party.

Further, User acknowledges and agrees that Best1wins may amend any or all of the Terms and Conditions (including fees and transaction rules) at any time, at Best1wins's sole discretion, without notice.

Role of Best1wins. Best1wins provides the Services and the Website so that Sellers may offer assets for sale and Buyers may place offers to purchase these assets. As such, Best1wins is neither a principal interested in the transactions, nor an agent of Buyer or Seller. Best1wins does not have the power to transfer title to any assets offered by Sellers. Because Best1wins is not a party to any transaction, Best1wins does not make, and should not be construed as having made, any representation or warranty of any kind concerning any of the offered assets, including without limitation any representation or warranty regarding the quality, safety or legality of the offered assets, or the truth or accuracy of any offerings. Additionally, Best1wins makes no representation or warranty of any kind as to the willingness or ability of either Buyer or Seller to complete a sale in accordance with the Agreement. Buyers and Sellers are solely responsible for independently verifying the background and credit-worthiness of those Users with whom they enter into, or with whom they prospectively will enter into, a transaction, as well as the condition or any description of an asset involved in a prospective transaction.

In the event of any controversy or dispute regarding any transaction conducted through use of the Services or the Website (a "Dispute"), User hereby releases Best1wins, its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, shareholders, co-branders, partners, successors and assigns (the "Released Parties"), and each of the foregoing, from any and all manner of action, claim or cause of action or suit, at law or in equity, and from any and all losses, damages, costs or expenses, including without limitation court costs and attorneys' fees, which User may have against the Released Parties, or any of them, known or unknown, disclosed or undisclosed, which arise out of or relate in any way to a Dispute. If User is a California resident, User waives its rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which states: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

Password and Security. After you register to use the Service or the Website, you will be prompted to select a User name and a User password. User is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of its User name and User password. User is obligated to complete those transactions that occur using its User name and User password, whether such transactions are authorized or unauthorized. User agrees that it shall immediately notify Best1wins in writing or by electronic mail of any unauthorized use of its User name or User password.

Excluded Items. Best1wins only permits the sale of capital assets, as that term is understood under generally accepted accounting principles (i.e., industrial machinery, equipment and surplus assets). Best1wins may, in its sole discretion, remove from the Website assets that, in Best1wins's judgment, do not constitute capital assets. The sale of illegal or inappropriate items is strictly prohibited.

Buyer Conduct. In addition to those other obligations set forth herein, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that by placing a bid on an asset, Buyer represents, warrants and covenants (i) that it has the capacity to close the transaction,(ii) that it shall not misrepresent its ability to close the transaction pursuant to the terms and conditions of sale, and in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, (iii) that it has actual authority to enter a bid, and to enter into an agreement to purchase the asset, and (iv) that any bid that it makes on an item constitutes an irrevocable offer to buy the item for the full amount of the bid.

Payment; Asset Removal. Each successful bidder must pay a 20% deposit toward the purchase price immediately following the successful bid and authorizes Best1wins to charge Buyer's credit card for the amount of such deposit. If a bidder fails to make a timely deposit, the assets in question may be resold without notice. Full payment of the purchase price is due at the earlier of (i) 5 business days after the bidder has received an invoice, or (ii) the close of business on the fifth business day after the subject auction. Without limiting the foregoing, full payment is due prior to the removal or shipment of purchased assets. In the event that the Buyer fails to pay the entire purchase price (in addition to the buyer's premium and any applicable tax) within the time specified by Best1wins or otherwise fails to comply with these Terms and Conditions, Best1wins and the Seller will retain the Buyer's deposit as liquidated damages without notice. In addition, Best1wins and the Seller reserve the right to resell such items without notice, and the defaulting purchaser shall be liable to Best1wins and Seller for any resulting deficiency, including any and all costs incurred in storing and reselling such assets. Best1wins will announce the removal, or "check-out," period on the day of the auction. Best1wins shall have no responsibility with respect to disconnecting utilities to the sold asset, including electric, gas, waste and water lines. It is the Buyer's sole responsibility to arrange and pay for the insurance, removal and shipment of purchased items and to provide evidence of such insurance, upon demand. Removal shall be conducted responsibly and with due care for the Seller's premises. The Buyer shall restore and repair all real and personal property that is altered or damaged as a result of the removal of purchased items. If the Buyer does not remove an item within the announced check-out period, the Buyer will be deemed to have abandoned the item and the Buyer will have no further rights with respect to the item. No claims of any kind shall be allowed after assets have been removed by the Buyer.

Improper Auction Behavior. All forms of shill bidding (for instance, bidding on an item that you have listed for sale), bid manipulation and collusion between Users are forbidden. Users may not make a bid under a false name or with an invalid credit card.

Buyer's Premium. Best1wins may, in its discretion, charge a Buyer's Premium or other service charge on assets sold. All such charges will be indicated in the relevant auction brochure, asset detail page or other clearly marked area of the Website. If charged, the Buyer's Premium shall be collected by Best1wins directly from each successful bidder, in addition to the purchase price as bid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a discount from the Buyer's Premium shall apply to Buyers who pay in the form of cash, cashier's check, company check (with a letter of guarantee) or wire transfer.

Taxes. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, User acknowledges and agrees that Best1wins is not responsible for the calculation of any taxes or the reporting or remittance of any taxes to any taxing authority, with the possible exception of sales taxes.

Generally, offered assets shall be sold to the highest bidder; provided, however, that some assets may be auctioned with minimum reserve prices, and/or subject to Seller's right of confirmation. Best1wins reserves the right to reject any bid that is only a minimal increase over the preceding bid, that is not commensurate with the value of the item being offered or that Best1wins believes was made illegally or in bad faith Further, Best1wins, and/or its affiliates or subsidiaries, may bid at the auction either for its own account or on behalf of a third party.
