 14.2 If any provision of the Contract is found by any court, tribunal or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be wholly or partly illegal, invalid, void, voidable, unenforceable or unreasonable it shall to the extent of such illegality, invalidity, voidness, voidability, enforceability or unreasonableness be deemed severable and the remaining provisions of the Contract and the remainder of such provision shall continue in full force and effect.

 14.3 Failure or delay by AGILITY in enforcing or partially enforcing any provision of the Contract shall not be construed as a waiver of any of its rights under the Contract.

 14.4 Any waiver by AGILITY of any breach of, or any default under, any provision of the Contract by the Purchaser shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default and shall in no way affect the other terms of the Contract.

15. SPECIFIC CONDITIONS FOR AUCTIONS

 15.1 These conditions are provided in addition to the Standard Terms and Conditions and relate to the conduct of auctions.  They are designed to augment the Standard Terms and Conditions, which already provide some reference to Auctions. To the extent these Auction terms conflict with the Standard Terms & Conditions, these Auction Terms control.

 15.2 If you violate these Auction Terms or, in the sole discretion of AGILITY suspects you intend to violate these Auction Terms, AGILITY may terminate your use of the auction site, bar you from future use of the site, cancel your order, terminate or refuse to allow your participation in any Auction, or take appropriate legal action against you. An order or bid may be rejected, cancelled or disqualified, or may otherwise not be accepted, if AGILITY determines in AGILITY’s sole discretion that AGILITY has not received sufficient approval, authorisation or verification of a bidder’s credentials or that a bidder has not complied with these Auction Terms, AGILITY’s other agreements or policies, or any other auction rules. Such a rejection, cancellation or disqualification may occur either during an Auction or after the closing of an Auction. Consequently, if your bid is disqualified you will not be successful through an Auction even if your bid is high enough to have won.

 15.3 AGILITY cannot guarantee that its system for placing, receiving, collecting and tabulating bids over the Internet will be available without interruption, free from errors or other defects. AGILITY will not be liable with respect to any claim or allegation that a prospective Purchaser’s bid was not received, properly or effectively processed, or accepted due to technical errors or problems with the auction.

 15.4 Sealed Bid Sales. Unless otherwise stated, sealed bids have to be sent electronically via the AGILITY Website. AGILITY accepts no liability for bids regardless of origin that are either not received, illegible, not accepted or not processed due to technical difficulties.

Sealed bids will only be accepted if received prior to the closing date and time for the specific Lot tendered, and once submitted may not be cancelled, withdrawn or amended, but may be increased. Agility reserves the right to accept and receive untimely bids at its sole discretion.

 15.5 Bid Retractions. No adjustment will be made to the winning bid due to any error in the bidding process, or any other discrepancy regarding description, condition, quantity, estimated weight or other factors that may influence the final bid price of a Lot. You understand and acknowledge that you cannot revoke or otherwise cancel any bid that you make, but you may use the re-bid function to increase your bid.

 15.6 Lot(s) included are to be sold on a competitive basis and on an “As seen and as and where lying” basis. AGILITY does not give any warranty, written or implied as to the condition or reliability of any of the lots offered. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the condition of each item offered. The goods are offered with all faults, imperfections and with all error or mis-statements of description, measurement, weight, quantity, quality, number or otherwise (whether of a substantial nature or not). Statements made orally or printed are merely matters of opinion, not fact, and therefore the Purchaser shall have no claim against AGILITY or return the goods in respect of any such faults, errors or mis-statements.

 

15.7 Application of Terms

 15.7.1 Subject to any variation under Clause 15.7.3 below, the Contract shall be on these conditions to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions (including any terms or conditions which the Purchaser purports to apply under any purchase order, confirmation of order, specification or other document).

 15.7.2 No terms or conditions endorsed on, delivered with or contained in the Purchaser’s purchase order, confirmation of order, specification or other document shall form part of the Contract simply as a result of such document being referred to in the Contract.

 15.7.3 These conditions apply to all the AGILITY sales and any variation to these conditions and any representations about the Goods shall have no effect unless expressly agreed in writing and signed by a Director of AGILITY.

 15.7.4 The Purchaser acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of AGILITY which is not set out in the contract. Nothing in this Clause shall exclude or limit AGILITY’s liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.

 15.7.5 The Purchaser shall ensure that the terms of its order and any applicable specifications are complete and accurate.

 15.7.6 The Purchaser hereby warrants and represents that they are legally able to enter into and form a binding contract by the placing of a bid.   When you offer a bid, you are agreeing to purchase the item at that price if you remain the highest bidder.

 15.7.7 The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that all decisions by AGILITY with respect to determining auction winners shall be final and binding.

 

15.8 Product Information

 15.8.1 Information provided by AGILITY is not guaranteed and should not be considered as a substitute for the prospective Purchaser’s due diligence in physically inspecting the Goods.

AGILITY accepts no responsibility nor makes any warranties regarding the contents of a sale. Information in the Lot and Items descriptions are provided to assist prospective Purchasers, but the accuracy of this information is not guaranteed.

 15.8.4 Prospective Purchasers are advised that aircraft components offered in these sales may not currently be certified by the relevant regulatory authorities for use on civil registered aircraft. The Purchaser of such components gives an undertaking to AGILITY by pressing the “Submit bid” and “Confirm bid” button or providing in writing that these parts will not be offered for onward sale or sold for use on civil registered aircraft unless appropriate certification is obtained from the relevant regulatory authorities, neither shall they be installed on a civil registered aircraft except by a properly certified technician. The successful bidder undertakes to defend and hold AGILITY harmless from any and all demands, suits, actions or claims of whatsoever nature arising from or out of violation of this Advisory.

 15.8.5 Occasionally, AGILITY may offer safety equipment for sale. Purchasers are hereby advised that such equipment may not be free from defect, and may not have current certification in place to be used for the purpose for which it was originally intended. The Purchaser certifies that he/she will obtain any necessary repairs or re-certification needed before putting such safety equipment into use, or before re-selling the equipment as useable.

 15.8.6 Purchasers of electrical and electronic equipment give an undertaking to AGILITY by pressing the “Submit bid” and “Confirm bid” button, or providing in writing, that such equipment has not been tested by AGILITY or other sources and should not be used without testing to ensure that it can be safely used, unless specifically stated otherwise. If the Purchaser is not a trader in electrical and/or electronic equipment or is not qualified to test equipment for safe use, then the Purchaser must not purchase these items.

 

15.9 Hazardous Goods

 15.9.1 AGILITY will make every effort to disclose known hazards to potential Purchasers. The Purchaser acknowledges, however, that some goods may contain residual chemicals, friable asbestos, petroleum products, ozone depleting substances or other hazards. Furthermore, some items may have design features that constitute a hazard if warning notices are not heeded. AGILITY can accept no liability or responsibility for providing documentation or certification relating to the identification or status of such hazards.

 15.9.2 The Purchaser hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold AGILITY harmless from and against any and all damages, costs, claims or liability, including legal fees, for any injuries to persons or property of any type whatsoever, occurring during or resulting from the sale, removal, use or operation of the purchased Goods.

Notices from AGILITY may be transmitted by e-mail, letter, fax or telephone to the postal address, e-mail address, fax and telephone numbers provided by the prospective Purchaser during registration.

 15.10.4 All potential bidders are advised to read the information provided in the lot information and the procedures included in these Terms and Conditions of Sale, and to inspect the Goods before bids are submitted. There are no warranties, either expressed or implied, and no returns, exchanges or refunds. All Goods will be displayed for on-site viewing. Agility is under no obligation to solicit specific bidders unless otherwise agreed and is not liable for its failure to solicit a specific bidder.

 

15.11 Removal of Goods

 15.11.1 A schedule for the removal of the Goods will be specified for each sales event, and the Purchaser shall remove all items purchased within the time limit. If, for any reason, removal cannot be completed within the specified time the Purchaser shall arrange with AGILITY for an extension of time. In the event that AGILITY at its absolute discretion, agrees to an extension of the removal period to accommodate the Purchaser’s request then the liability and risk of loss or damage to the Goods shall transfer to the Purchaser. Prior to the expiry of the extension, if the property is not removed, the Purchaser must make arrangements for the continued storage of the property with AGILITY.

The Purchaser is responsible for providing any special to type storage media or transit containers.

 15.11.4 The Purchaser, or his authorised agent, shall be responsible for inspecting and counting the Goods at the time of removal. After this time, claims related to any information provided by the Lot description or Item description will not be accepted.
