(a)

you tell your credit card company and Merchant of the unauthorised purchase as soon as you discover it;

(b)

you co-operate with your credit card company, Merchant and, if necessary, the police on such unauthorised use; and

(c)

Details of relevant Merchants will be listed on the Website.

From time to time we may be the provider of the goods and services in question and only in such circumstances shall we be treated as the 'Merchant'. When acting as Merchant, we reserve the rights and accept the obligations and liabilities of the Merchant as set out in these terms and conditions. We shall make it clear on the Website when we are acting as the Merchant.

3.1

Subject to reaching the notified reserve price, we may accept a bid placed by you, or any person authorised to use your account, in an Auction before the date/time stipulated for the close of the Auction. A bid placed during an Auction is an indication of the price which you/the authorised person, is offering and prepared to pay to acquire the goods or services which are the subject of that Auction.

3.2

The winning bid in an Auction will be the highest bid or bids which exceed any reserve price and meet any other express conditions of the relevant Auction. All Merchants are required to abide by this principle. If any bids are removed by us for any reason, Merchant is obliged to accept the highest remaining bid. If your bid is the highest when the time for bids to be submitted ends, we will send you an e-mail confirming acceptance of your offer. For the avoidance of doubt, all unsuccessful bids will lapse after closure of the relevant Auction which shall take place once the bidding has closed and the winning bidder's payment details have been verified and confirmation of payment obtained.

3.3

You must not bid in a way that is manipulative of an Auction.

3.4

Goods and services are offered subject to a Merchant's reserve price.

We shall only be treated as accepting your offer if we send you e-mail confirmation that your payment has been confirmed.

4.3

Following notification of acceptance of your offer, you will have a period of 72 hours from such notification in which to decide not to proceed with the offer made for the goods or services when you were Haggling.

If the target number of bidders for the Group Buy, as indicated on the Website, is reached prior to the date/time stipulated for the close of the Group Buy, the Group Buy shall close immediately and the goods or services the subject of the Group Buy will be sold to all bidders at the Merchant's Lowest Price.

5.7

If at the time/date stipulated for the close of the Group Buy the number of target bidders is not reached, the Sliding Price shall immediately become fixed and the relevant goods or services the subject of the Group Buy shall be sold at the fixed price to all those bidders who elected to place bids based on the Sliding Price.

5.8

On registering to join a Group Buy you will be asked for your Credit Card details in order to verify that your Credit Card is valid. If your Credit Card is approved, we will confirm to you by e-mail on behalf of the Merchant that your bid has been accepted. Only on confirmation from us by e-mail that your bid has been accepted will a contract between you and the Merchant come into existence.

5.9

If you have elected to join a Group Buy only at the Merchant's Lowest Price and this is not reached by the date/time stipulated for close of the Group Buy, then your Credit Card will not be charged.

6. Fixed Price

6.1

Some goods or services are advertised on the Website at fixed prices ('Fixed Price Item').

6.2

An offer placed by you on a Fixed Price Item is an indication of the price which you or any person authorised to use your account is prepared to pay for such Fixed Price Item.
