(a) Reserve prices on lots, which are cars over 5 years old, are not accepted and where such a reserve is indicated it will be ignored. Reserve prices on other lots including, but not limited to, motorcycles, light commercials and heavy commercial vehicles over 6 years old, will not be accepted and again will be ignored.
(b) The company may without giving any reason refuse to accept a bid from any person or persons and ban them from the auction.
(c) The highest bidder subject to Condition (b), for each lot shall be the buyer of that lot. The buyer shall in respect of any lot purchased pay an indemnity fee (buyer's premium) to the Company, in addition to the amount of the accepted bid plus any applicable value added tax (VAT). Details of the indemnity fee (buyer's premium) can be found on the rostrum, in the cashier's office and also in the cafeteria within the Company premises. In consideration for the receipt of the indemnity fee (buyer's premium) (in cleared funds) the Company agrees to reimburse the buyer with total sum paid for any lot purchased by the buyer where despite payments to the accepted bid price, title is not passed to the buyer due to the seller not having the right to sell the lot in question.
(d) Any items that have been registered as vehicles with the DVLA will incur the full indemnity fee (buyer premium).
(e) The buyer of each lot shall give in his name and address and proof of identity (if required) to the Company at the time of sale and shall, if required, pay to the Company [£500 or 10% of the accepted bid if under £5,000 or £1,000 if bid is over £5,000] as a non-refundable deposit.
(f) A contract for the sale and purchase of the lot (whether physical or online or both) shall come into effect at the time of the fall of the hammer ("the time of acceptance"), including any fixed-price ("Buy it Now") vehicle/item sale where a buyer may bid the required price in order to purchase the relevant vehicle/item. However ownership and risk in each lot shall only pass to the buyer upon payment in full cleared funds being received and the buyer shall be responsible for insuring the lot from that time. Prior to transfer of ownership and risk in the lot shall remain with the seller.
(g) Each buyer shall pay the purchase price (which shall be the accepted bid or fixed-price ("Buy it Now") at the time of acceptance plus any other sums payable by the buyer to the Company) under the terms of these Conditions and shall remove the purchase goods from the Company's premises no later than 24 hours after the time of acceptance of the bid PROVIDED THAT no purchase may be removed during the auction or until such time as all money due from the buyer has been received in cleared funds. Failure to pay within the specified time (referred to above) will result in the loss of any deposit paid.
(h) Buyers of lots paid for but not collected from the Company's premises within 48 hours of the time of acceptance will be charged £35.00 per day plus VAT parking fee. This fee will also apply to account holders who leave items forming part of any lot on the Company's premises in excess of 48 hours from the time of acceptance of that lot.
(i) Every person on the Company's premises before, during or after an auction shall be deemed to be at their own risk and with notice of the condition on the premises. Such persons shall have no claim against the Company in respect to any injury or accident, which occurs on the Company's premises. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL LIMIT THE COMPANY'S LIABILITY IN RESPECT OF DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS EMPLOYEES.
(j) The Company sells as agent for the seller and as such is not responsible for any default by seller or buyer. The Company cannot and does not check the merchantability or any other qualities of the lots offered for sale, at any auction on the Company's premises, by any seller. Lots are sold on behalf of the seller and all warranties as to the condition of the lot are excluded by the seller to the fullest extent possible under the law. The Company is not a party to any contract for the sale of any items in any lot and does not accept liability to the parties to any such contact.
(k) All lots are "sold as seen" with all faults and imperfections (whether or not rendering such vehicle unroadworthy) and errors of description, thus we advise you to attend the auction in person. The descriptions in catalogues and the descriptions on our website are for the general identification only. Buyers should satisfy themselves prior to the auction as to the condition of each lot. Buyers of lots online or via the telephone bid at their own risk, regardless if they have seen the item in person or not, with no comebacks to auctioneers.co.uk (Merthyr Tydfil Car Auctions Limited T/A MMA) or any entering company whatsoever. Any statement by the Company as to a lot is a statement of opinion only and every party should rely on his own judgement as to all matters affecting the lot PROVIDED THAT nothing in these Conditions shall exclude any parties' liability for statements made fraudulently. The Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended) does not apply.
(l) In addition, no warranty or guarantee is given in respect of mileage, service history, spare keys, MOT, etc... of any lot or that any lot sold complies with any statutory requirements or regulations.
(m) It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that any lot purchased, which is a motor vehicle, is in a roadworthy condition prior to it being used upon a public highway and where such a lot is not in a roadworthy condition, it is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that it is transported from the Company's premises legally.
(n) The Company, its servants or agents are not responsible for errors of description or for the authenticity of any lot or for any mis-statement as to any matter affecting them. The entering agent makes every effort to ensure that all personal belongings, rubbish or equipment is removed from the vehicle before they are entered for auction; the Company, its servants or agents take no responsibility for any such items in the vehicle. Responsibility falls to the purchaser to remove any such items from the vehicle after purchased. The Company, its servants or agents does not make or give, nor has any person in the employment of the Company have any authority to make or give, any representation or warranty in relation to any lot and any implied conditions or warranties are excluded to the fullest extent permissible under law.
(o) The Company accepts no liability for wrong lotting slips placed on any lots entered into the auction. Sellers entering goods for sale at the auction must ensure that the correct information is displayed on the lotting slip. The Company shall at its sole discretion allocate a type to goods entered as lots into the auction.
(p) All NHS and Fire Service vehicles must be de-commissioned before the vehicle is released. Whilst every care is taken removing blue lights, stripes, stretchers etc. MMA cannot be held responsible for any damages this may cause. It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that any de-commissioned vehicle is in a roadworthy condition prior to it being used upon a public highway and where such a lot is not in a roadworthy condition, it is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that it is transported from the Company's premises legally.
(q) There is a 50% extra indemnity for all Blue Light or Ambulance vehicles such as ambulances, cars, vans, 4x4's, etc. Check window lotting slip and listen to the auctioneer.
