IV. AUCTIONS, BIDDING, AND SALES

A. Auctions

After Seller creates an Account and provides all the necessary information in regard to the vehicle or item to be sold, Seller will receive an email notifying Seller that the vehicle or item has been approved for sale. Seller shall then choose the preferred type of auction for selling the vehicle. If Seller chooses a Reserve Auction or Blind Auction, Seller will suggest a reserve. JDM SUPPLY will review Seller’s suggested reserve and, together with Seller, will establish the Reserve Price, which shall be the minimum price at which the Seller’s vehicle may be sold. Before the auction takes place, the Seller will be contacted by an auction specialist, who will verify all information with the Seller and arrange with the Seller for photos of the vehicle to be displayed on the Website. After all information is verified and all necessary details are listed on the Website, the auction will begin once JDM SUPPLY is determined at its discretion and will last for a period of at least seven to ten (7-10) days but may be longer or shorter as determined by JDM SUPPLY.


B. Reserve Auction

If Seller chooses a Reserve Auction, Seller will suggest a Reserve Price, which must be approved by JDM SUPPLY. Upon JDM SUPPLY and Seller agreeing upon the vehicle’s Reserve Price, the auction will begin at a date and time to be determined by JDM SUPPLY and will last for a period of at least seven to ten (7) days but may be longer or shorter as determined by JDM SUPPLY. JDM SUPPLY shall notify Seller once the Auction begins. If all bids received with respect to the vehicle during the initial auction period are below the Reserve Price, JDM SUPPLY will offer to work directly with the Seller and highest bidder to reach an agreement for the sale of the vehicle or item. If the vehicle remains unsold after the conclusion all contractual obligations between Seller and JDM SUPPLY will end.


C. No Reserve Auction

In a No Reserve Auction, Seller does not provide a Reserve Price. Instead, Seller’s vehicle or item will sell for the highest bid amount, regardless of the exact amount of such bid. If no bids are received for the vehicle during the initial auction period, all contractual obligations between the Seller and JDM SUPPLY will end.


D. Bidding

When a prospective Buyer desires to make a bid on a vehicle, the prospective Buyer will be prompted to enter his or her credit card information to pay the applicable bidding fees (as hereinafter explained in Section VI.B). After entering such information, the prospective Buyer will be able to make a bid. Bids are to be placed at the bottom of the auction page; Once a bid has been made, an email notification confirming the bid will be sent to the prospective Buyer. After a bid has been submitted, it cannot be retracted, deleted, or canceled for any reason whatsoever; therefore, Members should exercise caution when placing bids. In the event that a prospective Buyer’s bid is exceeded by another bid, an email notification will be sent to the prospective Buyer notifying him or her that the bid has been exceeded. The prospective Buyer will then be able to make a separate bid.


E. Disputes Regarding Bids

Should a dispute arise regarding a bid, JDM SUPPLY is the exclusive deciding authority with sole and absolute discretion in resolving disputes. Members agree to indemnify, defend and hold JDM SUPPLY harmless from any and all liability arising out of decisions made in resolving disputes regarding bids.


F. Transfer of Title

Members understand that the procedures for transferring the title of a vehicle purchased through the Website are the responsibility of the Seller and Buyer. Title to vehicles listed for sale on JDM SUPPLY shall never be held by JDM SUPPLY and JDM SUPPLY shall bear no responsibility for the inability or failure of Seller or Buyer to affect the correct transfer of title of any vehicle purchased through the Website.


G. Sale Cancellation

JDM SUPPLY reserves the right to cancel or reverse a sale transaction in the event of fraud, material misrepresentation, or patent defect in the description of the vehicle or bidding information, as determined by JDM SUPPLY in JDM SUPPLY’s sole discretion. JDM SUPPLY will not be liable to any Member as a result of any vehicle withdrawal, sale cancellation, or postponement.


H. Post-Bid Damage, Discrepancy

If prior to the vehicle being retrieved by Buyer, it is determined that items have been removed or replaced on the vehicle, that additional damage has occurred since the time the Buyer submitted his/her bid, and/or there is a title type discrepancy, the Buyer will have the option to purchase the vehicle at the original price or cancel the sale. Odometer readings that differ from the listed mileage by less than one thousand (1,000) miles or (1,610) kilometers do not qualify for transaction cancellation or refund of any amount from JDM SUPPLY.


I. Risk of Loss, Assumption of the Risk

Buyer takes full responsibility and assumes all risk of loss for all vehicles purchased from the time JDM SUPPLY accepts the Buyer’s bid. From and after acceptance of the Buyer’s bid, Buyer acknowledges that JDM SUPPLY is not responsible for damage to or loss of the vehicle or parts thereof and shall not be liable for any claim of damage, regardless of whether Buyer or any person on Buyer’s behalf such as Buyer’s agent, employee or representative, picks up the vehicle from Seller.


J. Compliance with Laws, Rules, and Regulations

Members shall comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, and regulations regarding their use of the Membership Services.

Buyer agrees to comply and to cause its agents and representatives to comply with all applicable laws and regulations when retrieving a purchased vehicle from Seller, including adequately loading and securing all cars for safe travel. JDM SUPPLY shall in no event be responsible or liable for any damage occurring as a result of unsafe or improper loading or securing of a vehicle for transport. The Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold JDM SUPPLY harmless from any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from or related to any failure of the Buyer or the Buyer’s agent or representative to properly load and/or secure a vehicle for transport.

V. DELIVERY OF VEHICLE OR ITEM TO BUYER

A. Pickup by Buyer

Purchased vehicles or Items may be picked up by the Buyer directly from the applicable Seller only after full and complete payment for the vehicle or Item, including payment of any and all applicable fees.


B. Shipment of Purchased Vehicle

Should a Buyer desire to have the purchased vehicle or Item shipped to Buyer, Buyer may arrange with Seller for such shipment. However, under no circumstances will JDM SUPPLY make arrangements for such shipment or be responsible for Seller’s refusal to make such arrangements.


C. Non-Delivery by Seller

In the event that Seller fails to make a purchased vehicle or Item available for delivery to Buyer within 48 hours of full payment of the vehicle, JDM SUPPLY will return to Buyer an amount equal to the Buyer’s Fee (as hereinafter defined) if paid in full less any administrative charge incurred by JDM SUPPLY in processing the refund. Seller will not be entitled to the return of any fee paid by Seller on account of that sale and will be liable to JDM SUPPLY for any amount refunded to Buyer and any fee or administrative charge incurred by JDM SUPPLY to refund the Buyer’s Fee to Buyer.


D. Shipping Disclaimer

Members acknowledge and agree that it is the Buyer’s responsibility to either pick up or arrange for the delivery of a purchased vehicle. In the event that Buyer elects for delivery of a purchased vehicle, Buyer shall be solely responsible for arranging and paying for the shipment of the vehicle. JDM SUPPLY shall not be liable for any loss of vehicle keys, vehicle damage, vehicle or part theft, or shipment delays.

VI. FEES AND PAYMENTS

A. Seller’s Fees

JDM SUPPLY does not charge a seller fee for any auctions.


B. Buyer’s Fees

Vehicle

For vehicle auctions, when a prospective Buyer enters a bid, a temporary hold in the amount of four percent (4%) of the prospective Buyer’s bid (the “Hold”) will be placed on the prospective Buyer’s credit card. In the event the prospective Buyer’s bid is exceeded by another bid and the prospective Buyer does not win the particular auction, the Hold will expire and the prospective Buyer will not be charged any fee. In the event that the prospective Buyer is the winning bidder for a particular vehicle auction, the Hold will be released, and a full buyer’s premium of 4% of the winning bid with a minimum of $200.00 USD and a maximum of $4,000.00 USD will be charged to the credit card by JDM SUPPLY as the Buyer’s Fee.


C. Payments for Vehicles

After a prospective Buyer receives notice that the prospective Buyer has entered the winning bid for a vehicle or Item, the Buyer must contact the Seller directly to arrange for the payment of the vehicle or Item. Buyer should use the link provided for contacting Seller to arrange for such payment. All payments for vehicles bought through JDM SUPPLY must be made in full to Seller within seven (7) business days of the sale date.


D. Non-Payment by Buyer

If a Buyer fails to issue payment for a purchased vehicle within the allotted time, the Buyer will be considered to have forfeited all of its rights in the vehicle or Item. In the event that Seller fails to sell the vehicle for a sale price equal to or greater than the sale price agreed-upon by the forfeiting Buyer, the forfeiting Buyer will be liable to Seller for the difference between the sale prices.


E. Payment of Sales Tax

Buyer agrees that Buyer is solely responsible for paying any applicable sales tax for a vehicle purchased through the Website. Buyer agrees that JDM SUPPLY is not responsible for notifying Buyer of any particular sales tax and that JDM SUPPLY shall not be liable for any penalty incurred by Buyer for failure to pay any applicable sales tax or any other applicable local, state, or federal charge.


F. Authorization to Collect, Unpaid Fees

You hereby authorize JDM SUPPLY to debit any and all outstanding fees from the account linked to your original form of payment without seeking your prior consent or approval or otherwise notifying you of JDM SUPPLY’s intent to so debit said fees. All Members shall abide by the following statement: "I hereby authorize JDM SUPPLY to initiate debit/credit entries from my bank deposit account or credit/debit card."

In the event of unpaid fees due and owed by a Buyer, Buyer agrees and acknowledges that Seller shall have no duty or other obligation to release to Buyer any vehicle or vehicle title until all fees are paid in full to JDM SUPPLY to the complete satisfaction of JDM SUPPLY.


G. Fee Dispute

Unless otherwise specified herein, no fees shall be refundable to you for any reason whatsoever due to the non-cancelable and irrevocable nature of the transactions provided for herein.

Should you object to the payment of any fee, you agree to write to JDM SUPPLY, using the contact information on the Website, so that JDM SUPPLY may determine the validity of your claim. Should JDM SUPPLY deny refunding you the disputed fee, you agree to submit the claim to binding arbitration pursuant to the provisions of Section VIII.B, infra. You agree to indemnify JDM SUPPLY for any financial harm and/or any losses that arise from or relate to any fee dispute of any kind, including the payment of attorney’s fees and costs.

B. Registration Laws Disclaimer

JDM SUPPLY does not guarantee that any vehicle sold can be legally registered in any state or country, and Buyer accepts all risks associated with variations in vehicle title and registration laws between states, provinces and countries that may negatively impact the marketability of vehicles purchased through JDM SUPPLY.
