1. Introduction

Welcome to the M@C Discount Auction Site, www.mac.bid, and the M@C Discount Mobile App (Site). These are the Terms and Conditions applicable to all transactions and dealings with ReCommerce412, LLC, M@C Discount Auction Website and M@C Discount Mobile App, collectively “M@C”.

By accessing the Site, utilizing the Services of M@C as Buyer, or by registering as a Buyer regardless of your physical location, you agree that: (1) you have read these Terms and Conditions; (2) you understand these Terms and Conditions; and (3) you are bound by these Terms and Conditions in your use of the Services and the Site. We refer to any person offering to sell goods through the Site as a Seller and any person registering to offer or offering to buy goods as a Buyer regardless of whether sale occurs. We refer to Buyers or Sellers as Users.

The Services provided on the Site enable Users, among other things, to:

• place bids in Auctions;
• make offers on items subject to a Sealed Bid procedure;
• make offers on items subject to a Negotiated Sale.

These Terms and Conditions refer to Online Auctions, Sealed Bids, Negotiated Sales and Exchanges collectively as Selling Events.

These Terms and Conditions, together with (i) any additional terms and conditions specific to a particular Selling Event, or (ii) anywhere else on the Site constitute the entire agreement between M@C and the User regarding its subject matter and supersede and replace any and all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements between the parties regarding such subject matter and all other conditions whether express or implied at common law or by statute.

2. Use of the Site

2.1. Registration - Registration of each Buyer is a prerequisite for submitting bids and offers for Selling Events. The User’s Registration Form is posted on the Site. When you Register, you will be required to confirm your registration and by doing so you bind yourself and your company to all the Terms and Conditions contained in the User Agreement and to all other terms and conditions set forth anywhere on the Site. Users warrant that all information provided to M@C on registration is true, accurate and complete and the User will immediately inform M@C of all changes. Otherwise, the information provided is deemed to be correct and current. Please see our Privacy Policy as to how we handle your information. Only individuals who are authorized to form legally binding contracts for themselves or on behalf of a business are eligible to register. As used in this Agreement, the term "you" and “your” refers to both an individual user and the business if represented by an individual. In requesting a registration or in any other communication with M@C you may not impersonate or misrepresent an affiliation with any other person or entity and you yourself guarantee the information you supply to M@C is accurate and you warrant that you are authorized to act on behalf of and bind the business you represent. Upon your completion of a registration application and acceptance of this Agreement, your registration application will be reviewed by M@C.

If you are representing a business, by registering you represent and warrant that you are acting on behalf of a business and are authorized to so act. To register as a Buyer on the Site you must provide, among other things, your name, the name of the business you are authorized to act for, your title, phone number, e-mail address and a valid credit card.

2.2. Users’ Accounts - Users are assigned an account name and password on registration. Users are responsible for all actions taken under their account name and password and shall only use the Site using their own account name and password. Users must keep their password safe and shall not disclose it to any other person and shall not permit any other person to utilize their account details. Users are required to complete those transactions that occur using their account name and password, whether such transactions are authorized or not.

2.3. Exclusion of Users & Rejection or Amendment of Bids & Offers - Without limitation to any other remedies, M@C may exclude any User from any Selling Event and block any registration if the User has breached or threatens to breach these Terms and Conditions or engages in any behavior which M@C in its sole discretion regards as likely to have an adverse effect on the conduct of the Selling Event or the reputation of M@C. Furthermore, M@C reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to exclude products from offers and refuse acceptances, bids or offers, as well as to discontinue Selling Events or its Services altogether at any time or for any reason.

2.4. Bidding - By placing a bid in response for Goods in a Selling Event, you are extending an irrevocable offer to purchase the Goods at the price set forth in the bid. Once entered, a bid may not be retracted. Buyer must immediately notify M@C if a mistake is made in bidding; however the Buyer may still be held responsible for the bid. The "Winning Bid" in an Auction is the highest bid entered during the auction that is greater than or equal to the opening bid price. There is no Winning Bid for the auction if no bid is entered at or above the opening bid price. There are no tie bids. If two bids are entered with equal amounts the first bid received by the site is designated the Winning Bid.

2.5. Item Inspection – All items will be available for inspection prior to Bidding.  All Buyers should inspect items prior to bidding.  Failure to inspect an item is not the fault of M@C, and will not be deemed reason for issuing a Refund (see Section 2.10).

2.6. Winning Bid - The Buyer that entered the Winning Bid will consummate the purchase of the item within the time specified in the terms and conditions for the Selling Event.  Unless stated in the specific terms and conditions for a Selling Event, all Goods will be immediately charged to the User credit card on file.  This amount will include the Winning Bid, all Buyer Premiums and Sales Tax, if applicable.   Following receipt of payment all risk of loss shall pass to Buyer at that time.

2.7. Lot Closing Time - Specific lot closing times are published on the Site. M@C shall not be responsible for notifying any Buyer of a change in any closing date or time. M@C will not accept a bid that is received after the closing date and time for the auction and all dynamic close time extensions. In the event that a higher bid is entered within a designated time period, chosen by M@C, of the scheduled lot closing time, the closing time will automatically be extended, in increments specified by M@C, until no bids have been entered in the pre- stated increment prior to the closing time for the auction. Each Buyer is solely responsible for taking such actions as are appropriate to learn of changes to a closing date or time. The Buyer bears the sole risk of transmitting bids so that such bids are received on the site prior to close of the auction lot.

2.8. Item Removal - Buyer is required to pick-up all items purchased by the removal time set forth in the specific Selling Event. All removal shall be at the expense, liability and risk of the Buyer. If the Buyer does not pick-up an item within the removal period for the specific Selling Event, M@C may, at their sole discretion, deem the item to have been abandoned by the Buyer and the Buyer will have no further rights with respect to the item. If items are not removed by the removal deadline, Buyer is liable for all removal and disposal costs associated with disposing of the assets that were not removed.

2.9. Shortage or Damage Claims - No shortage or damage claims will be allowed after the Goods have been removed from the premises (see section 2.10). M@C shall not be liable for non-delivery to any Buyer of all or any portion of a lot/item, other than for the return to the Buyer of the corresponding portion of the sum paid on said lot/item. All of the limitations contained in Section 9 below shall apply.

2.10. Refunds – All items will be listed for sale with a Condition Code.  This Condition Code will dictate the type of Refund, if any, will be considered.  The Condition Codes are as follows:

2.10.1. Like New - These are items that appear to be in a new condition or have never been used previously. These items are not tested for functionality or completeness -for items that are marked Like New a bidder must examine the item thoroughly when claiming (pick-up) the item. If the item does not appear new or unused or if there is an issue, the bidder MUST report this to M@C prior to leaving the premises. Once the bidder has left the premises with the item, M@C cannot issue any Refund for issues arising with the item.  M@C may offer credit on future purchases for all Like New items with discovered defects, not including buyer remorse.

2.10.2. Open Box – Open Box items were sold by a retailer, and potentially used before being returned by the customer. Open Box items may be damaged or have an opened box with missing pieces, so unless the condition of a specific item is explicitly stated, you should not make any assumptions about it other than that it may be ripped, scratched, non-functional or otherwise damaged. All Open Box items are sold AS/IS. M@C makes all items available for inspection prior to bidding, it is the responsibility of the Buyer to inspect all items before placing a bid on the Site.

2.10.3. Damaged - Items marked "Damage" indicate that they could come from a multitude of circumstances - shelf pulls, overstock, customer returns or any other means.  Damaged items could be incomplete and have not be tested for functionality.  All Damaged items are sold AS/IS, M@C cannot issue refunds on these items.  M@C makes all items available for inspection prior to bidding, it is the responsibility of the Buyer to inspect all items before placing a bid on the Site.

2.11. Uniform Commercial Code - Notice is hereby given that all lots offered are with reserve unless otherwise stated, and in some cases Goods are sold subject to Seller’s right of confirmation. In compliance with section 2-328 of the UCC, M@C hereby provides notice that M@C reserves the right to enter bids on behalf of the Seller.

2.12. Absentee Bidding - From time to time M@C may place bids on behalf of absentee bidders. When M@C is placing bids on behalf of an absentee bidder, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that M@C shall serve as agent for both seller and buyer in the transaction. M@C shall make every reasonable effort to represent seller and buyer in a balanced and fair manner. 

2.13. Buyer’s Premium - M@C may, in its discretion, charge a Buyer’s Premium or other service charge on items sold (including any applicable sales or value added tax or similar taxes in the relevant jurisdiction at the current rate).

If charged, the Buyer’s Premium shall be collected directly from each successful Buyer, in addition to the Sales Tax and purchase price as bid.

12. DISCLAIMERS

M@C AND SELLER MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT THE ITEMS OR THEIR CONDITION, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ITEMS ARE SOLD “AS IS,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PATICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. M@C MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT THE SITE, OR THE SUITABILITY, LEGALITY OR ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES DESCRIBED OR CONTAINED ON THE SITE. THE SITE AND ALL SUCH INFORMATION, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

IN NO EVENT SHALL M@C OR SELLERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE USE OF THE SITE OR WITH THE DELAY OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE, OR ANY INFORMATION, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SITE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR LOST BUSINESS OR LOST SALES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF M@C HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGES.

BUYER HEREBY REPRESENTS AND COVENANTS THAT IT HAS BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW AND INSPECT THE ITEMS PRIOR TO THE SALE AND THAT BUYER HAS SATISFIED ITSELF AS TO THE CONDITION OF THE ITEMS. THE ONLY WARRANTIES, IF ANY, WITH RESPECT TO EACH PRODUCT PURCHASED HEREUNDER ARE SOLELY MADE BY THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER THEREOF (AND M@C AND SELLER MAKE NO REPRESENTATION THAT THERE IS ANY SUCH WARRANTY) WITH ALL SUCH LIMITATION AND QUALIFICATIONS AS SUCH MANUFACTURER MAY HAVE IMPLIED ON SUCH WARRANTIES.

M@C relies on information about assets in the auction provided by the Seller and undertakes no investigation of that information. M@C shall not be responsible for the correct description, genuineness, authenticity of, or defect in any lot, and makes no warranty therewith. M@C assumes no responsibility for, and makes no representations or warranties concerning, descriptions of assets contained in marketing materials for Selling Events. Users acknowledge that M@C has not taken title to any Goods offered for sale, has not and will not make any alteration or repair to such Goods, has relied and has a right to rely on Seller’s description and representation as to the condition and function of the Goods.

It is the bidders’ obligation to verify such descriptions prior to bidding. The description of Goods appearing in Selling Events and in advertising prior to Selling Events is believed to be correct; however M@C relies on Sellers for information, depictions and information. Neither those descriptions nor any oral statements made by M@C or Seller shall be construed as a warranty either express or implied. Buyers acknowledge that the Goods are available for inspection prior to Selling Events and M@C strongly encourages Buyers to inspect carefully before bidding. If you want to have a high level of confidence when bidding you MUST inspect for yourself and make decisions based on this inspection. M@C strongly urges you to inspect on the pre-assigned inspection dates that will be posted on the site. There will be no adjustments to the final bid price should you find any problems with the item after the bidding closes (see section 2.10). Buyers rely solely on personal inspection and not on information listed on the site or otherwise provided by M@C. Buyer’s failure to inspect or otherwise determine that the Goods are as Buyer believes shall not be grounds for any claim or action against M@C, nor any excuse for failing to comply with a bid or finalizing a purchase.

13. Force Majeure

M@C will not be liable for any delay or failure to comply with its obligations under these Terms and Conditions if such delay or failure results from circumstances beyond its control.

14. Notice

Any notice given to M@C under these Terms and Conditions shall be in writing and in English and shall be served by hand delivering it or sending it to M@C or to such other address as M@C may specify from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, notice given by Users to M@C under those Terms and Conditions shall not be validly served if sent by e-mail. Notices to Users by M@C may be sent to the e-mail address provided to M@C during the registration process, receipt of which is deemed to have occurred twenty four (24) hours after an e-mail is sent, or by any other method to any address provided by a User.

15. Choice of Law & Venue

ALL DISPUTES RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BETWEEN USERS AND M@C SHALL BE EXCLUSIVELY GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, USA, SHALL HAVE PROPER AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE FOR ANY PROCEEDINGS ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT. EACH USER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT M@C WOULD NOT PERMIT THE USER TO REGISTER AS A BUYER OR PARTICIPATE AS USER IF THE TERMS OF THIS CLAUSE 13 WERE NOT VALID, BINDING AND ENFORCEABLE.

 Users irrevocably consent to any process in any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions or its enforceability being served in accordance with the provisions of these Terms and Conditions relating to the service of notices.
