GENERAL

These are the terms of business (the "Terms") of ITAuctions ("ITAuctions.co.uk", "we" or "us") setting out your rights and obligations for the use of the services offered by this website. YOU MUST READ AND ACCEPT THESE TERMS BEFORE REGISTERING to participate in any auction. Your acceptance means that you become a customer of ITAuctions.co.uk ("Customer", “buyer” or "you") on these Terms. Please note – ONLY BUSINESS CUSTOMERS MAY REGISTER.

You undertake that all details given in registering with ITAuctions.co.uk are true and accurate at the time of registration and that you will immediately notify us of any changes to this information. ITAuctions.co.uk undertakes that it will use any data given by and relating to any Customer solely for the purposes of the operation of auctions, and that data will be held in all respects in compliance with the Data Protection Acts 1984 and 1998.

We reserve the right to alter these Terms from time to time. All auctions will be governed by that new version from 7 days from the date of such an update being posted.

DESCRIPTION

Bids are made against the particular description of the goods on the site.

Some goods are sold as an individual item and others by lot in units of more than one.

Goods may also be sold by Yankee auction, in this case, bids are to be made against each item. It is Buyer’s responsibility to ensure that they only bid for the number of items required. The highest bidder might not bid for all of the items on sale, in which case the next highest bidder will win the number of items for which they bid, at the price they bid, up to the remaining number of items on sale and so on.

All photos are for illustration only and may not be of the actual item.

Unless otherwise stated, due to time restraints, laptop batteries are not tested and no assurance as to their condition is made.

Unless otherwise stated peripheral items, cables, packaging and other accessories are not included.

BIDDING

If you bid in any auction your bid becomes an irrevocable offer to buy and may not be withdrawn. You will be legally obliged to purchase any item for which you have made a bid at the price bid by you if that bid is successful.

The winning bid in any auction will be the highest bid that exceeds any reserve and meets any other conditions of the relevant auction. If a bid you make is followed by a higher bid by another bidder that is later removed by ITAuctions.co.uk for any reason, it shall be open to ITAuctions.co.uk to accept your earlier bid.

Bids must be made in increments as defined by ITAuctions.co.uk.

ITAuctions.co.uk may also place bids on your behalf at your request up to a maximum level set by you.

ITAuctions.co.uk reserves the right to close auctions early or to extend auctions at any time and at its discretion. ITAuctions.co.uk does not guarantee that bids received will be processed and does not accept any liability for any direct or indirect loss so caused. Auctions may be cancelled or listings withdrawn because of technical difficulties experienced by ITAuctions.co.uk or on the Internet.

WINNING

ITAuctions.co.uk shall notify a winning bid by email to the Buyer. Unless the Buyer has established a history of collecting goods from ITAuctions.co.uk in person, a shipping cost is determined and an invoice is generated and emailed to the buyer.

PAYING

Each auction is conducted in GBP (£) and payment can only be accepted in GBP (£). Any applicable VAT shall be applied at the prevailing rate on the date of invoice.

A fee of £1.75 (One Pound Seventy Five Pence) will be applied by ITAuctions.co.uk to each standard LOT won to cover administration costs. These charges are non-negotiable and must be paid before goods are released. This fee will be listed on our invoices.

The Buyer shall make the appropriate payment to ITAuctions.co.uk (see ‘Help’ section on site for details) within 7 calendar days of the invoice date.

If payment is not received within 7 days the goods will be re-auctioned or otherwise disposed of by ITAuctions.co.uk.

COLLECTING

Collection is usually possible. Where collection is not possible this is normally highlighted in the text of the Lot on our website however, please contact Customer Services to confirm prior to bidding if you are unsure.

REJECTION

Items may only be rejected if they do not match the description given online. A strict time period of 24 hours from receipt/collection is available for items to be rejected.
