Before the Purchaser attempts to buy any Product from a vendor on the Site during any Live Auction Event, PANDE Auctions requires that the Purchaser read and accept the Terms. BY CHECKING ON THE SPACE NEXT TO "ACCEPT TERMS & CONDITIONS", THE PURCHASER HEREBY REPRESENTS THAT THE PURCHASER HAS READ, UNDERSTOOD AND ACCEPTED THE TERMS AND ALL OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE AND THAT THE PURCHASER WILL BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PURCHASER’S USE OF THE SITE AND PURCHASE OF PRODUCT. If the Purchaser chooses not to accept the Terms, the Purchaser may not bid on or purchase Product by means of the Site. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected]
2.1. Services. Under the Terms, PANDE Auctions offers the use of the Site to bid on and buy Product advertised by sellers/vendors using the Site to list and advertise their Product for sale to potential buyers. Each of the buyer and seller to any transaction resulting from a Live Auction Event on the Site is acting on its own respective behalf, and PANDE Auctions does not represent either party in the transaction (if any) that results from use of the Site. PANDE Auctions is not a party to the subsequent binding obligation to sell/buy the Product that is entered into between a seller and a buyer (unless PANDE Auctions is the owner of the Product sold in which case PANDE Auctions would be the seller).
2.2. Advertisement Period for Product. For all listings the period during which bids can be placed on Product shall be determined solely by PANDE Auctions.
2.3. Purchaser Conduct. Any deliberate attempt to artificially influence the sales price, directly or indirectly, by any user is prohibited, including bidding through a secondary account, agent or representative on a Product that the seller may be selling, communicating with other buyers or shill bidding. PANDE Auctions may at its sole and unfettered discretion determine such conduct (or the appearance thereof) and take any and all actions PANDE Auctions determines in order to protect PANDE Auctions, its reputation, the seller and the integrity of the Live Auction Event.
2.4. Inspection. Where a listing permits inspection of the Product, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser’s discretion (acting reasonably), in good faith, inspect the Product prior to bidding in accordance with the seller’s guidelines and requirements for inspection. Items offered for sale via the Site may be used goods and might have defects. If the Purchaser bids without having inspected the Product, the Purchaser does so at its own risk. The Purchaser and/or its agents are solely responsible for final verification of Product purchased at the time of removal and PANDE Auctions takes no responsibility whatsoever.
3.1. Binding Offer to Purchase: The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that bidding on the Site is the legal equivalent of a firm commitment and an irrevocable offer to purchase. Unless the transaction is prohibited by law or regulation or as otherwise noted in these Terms, once placed a bid may not be retracted and the Purchaser is obligated to complete the transaction. If the Purchaser is the highest bidder and meets or exceeds the minimum price as established by the seller ("Reserve Price") or if there is no Reserve Price, the Purchaser is the highest bidder at close of the reserve period noted on the reserve listing ("Reserve Period"), then the Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price and follow any and all other processes and procedures as set out herein or on the Site.
3.2. Winning Bids: PANDE Auctions is the authority that identifies and determines a winning bid for a Product at a Live Auction Event ("Purchase Price"). Nonetheless, PANDE Auctions shall not be liable for any errors or omissions relating to such determination, whether by PANDE Auctions , the seller or another third party. Before PANDE Auctions can establish the winning bid for the Live Auction Event listings, (a) the Purchaser’s bid must meet or exceed the Reserve Price or be the highest bid if there is no Reserve Price; (b) if the Purchaser’s bid is less than the Reserve Price, PANDE Auctions may at its sole discretion inform the seller of the Purchaser’s bid that is less than the Reserve Price, within forty eight (48) hours from the close of the Live Auction Event (the "Consideration Period"), and if the seller wishes to sell the Product at the Purchaser’s last bid, PANDE Auctions shall inform the Purchaser accordingly and the seller may consider the Purchaser’s bid and if the seller accepts the Purchaser’s bid within the Consideration Period the Purchaser can, at its sole discretion, decide to purchase the Product at the agreed price which shall then be deemed the Purchase Price. Subject to Sections 4.3 and 4.4, after the winning bid is established by PANDE Auctions based on the preceding, or the Purchaser has committed to purchase the Product at the Purchase Price set out in the Consideration Period, the bid or purchase commitment of Purchaser will be automatically accepted by seller and a binding obligation to purchase and sell between Purchaser and seller is automatically created ("Binding Obligation"). All the Terms shall apply to the Binding Obligation. The Purchaser and the seller will be notified of the the Binding Obligation by an email or other notification that is generated automatically by the Site.
3.3. Voiding Bids: PANDE Auctions reserves the right to reject or void bids, whether a Winning Bid or not, which it believes (a) have not been made in good faith, (b) is intended to manipulate the listing process, (c) results from application or system errors or outages, or (d) is prohibited by any applicable law or regulation.
3.4. Postponement and Cancellation. PANDE Auctions reserves the right to withdraw, postpone or cancel any listing, at its own discretion, with or without notice and without owing any liability to the Purchaser or any other party. PANDE Auctions also reserves the right to cancel any Binding Obligation or sale, whether or not payment has been received, if (i) PANDE Auctions determines that the sale is the result of application, system, and/or user error, (ii) in the event of a breach or default of the Binding Obligation by the seller, or (iii) where the concerned party is unable to clear title to the Product within a reasonable period of time (as reasonably determined by PANDE Auctions). PANDE Auctions sole liability to the Purchaser as a result of any such cancellation shall only be to return any funds paid by the Purchaser which are still in the possession of PANDE Auctions with respect to such sale.
3.5. Availability of Site: PANDE Auctions will do its utmost to ensure that availability of the Site’s Services will be uninterrupted and that transmissions will be error-free. However, due to the nature of the internet, this cannot be guaranteed. Also, the Purchaser’s access to the Site may also be occasionally suspended or restricted to allow for repairs, maintenance, or the introduction of new facilities or services. PANDE Auctions will attempt to limit the frequency and duration of any such suspension or restriction. PANDE AUCTIONS WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR (I) LOSSES THAT WERE NOT CAUSED BY ANY BREACH ON ITS PART, OR (II) ANY BUSINESS LOSS (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, CONTRACTS, ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, DATA, GOODWILL OR WASTED EXPENDITURE), OR (III) ANY INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES THAT WERE NOT FORESEEABLE TO BOTH THE PURCHASER AND PANDE AUCTIONS WHEN THE PURCHASER COMMENCED USING THE SITE. PANDE AUCTIONS WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DELAY OR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE OBLIGATIONS SET OUT IN THE TERMS IF THE DELAY OR FAILURE ARISES FROM ANY CAUSE WHICH IS BEYOND PANDE AUCTIONS REASONABLE CONTROL. This condition does not affect the Purchaser’s legal right to have Products sent provided within a reasonable time or to receive a refund if Products ordered cannot be supplied within a reasonable time owing to a cause beyond PANDE Auctions reasonable control.
3.6. Intellectual Property: The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the bid amounts, pricing and overall results, any data obtained from or noted in PANDE Auctions online listings or any audio/video associated with the transaction ("Site Data") may only be accessed, displayed and used by the Purchaser for the sole purpose of the Purchaser’s participation in such a transaction; (ii) the Purchaser may not, without express written permission of PANDE Auctions, directly or indirectly, through any means whatsoever, record, capture, store, reproduce, rebroadcast, retransmit, redistribute, or create derivative works from the Site Data; (iii) PANDE Auctions and its licensors own all the rights, titles and interests in and to all Site Data; and (iv) the Purchaser shall not repackage, resell or otherwise commercialize or exploit any data in the Site Data in any manner whatsoever.

Any actions undertaken by PANDE Auctions or an entity acting on its behalf (such as providing logistical support or collecting monies) are pursuant to and solely in order to facilitate the sale and purchase of the Product and enable smooth conclusion to the Binding Obligation between the prospective buyer and seller. As Site operator, PANDE Auctions accepts and allows all eligible persons that meet the requirements of the Site to register, buy and/or sell Product in accordance with and subject to the Terms and laws applicable to such buyers and sellers.
4.1. Transaction Fee. For each piece of Product purchased from the seller through the Site, the Purchaser agrees to pay a transaction fee ("Transaction Fee") and a commission fee ("Commission Fee") which is set forth on the PANDE Auctions Site as noted in the listing for such Product. PANDE Auctions may change or add such fees from time to time, at its sole discretion, with or without giving notice to the Purchaser. Other fees that may be payable by the Purchaser will be detailed on the Site.
4.2. Payment and Payment Schedule. The Purchaser shall remit the Purchase Price, applicable taxes, duties, value added tax or vehicle registration taxes, Transaction Fee, Commission Fee and any other required fees within five (5) days after the conclusion of the Binding Obligation. Any foreign currency exchange fees or charges are the responsibility of the Purchaser. All amounts that are due and payable must be paid prior to releasing any Product for pick-up or transport. After the receipt of payment and completion of any additional/required documents, the Purchaser and seller will be notified that the Product is available for pick-up via an email that is generated automatically by the Site ("Item Release"). Cash payments will be accepted provided such payments are made only in the lawful currency of the United Arab Emirates (UAE Dirhams) and that such payments adhere to any and all requirement of PANDE Auctions as conveyed from time to time. Payments from a third-party source will not be accepted unless PANDE Auctions, at its sole discretion and in advance, has been satisfied as to the authenticity of the payment in writing.
4.3. Security Deposit. To participate in a Live Auction Event from time to time, the Purchaser shall make an initial one-time security deposit of AED 5,000.00 (the "Security Deposit") payable upon acceptance of these Terms by the Purchaser. The Purchaser may request the return of the Security Deposit, less any Transaction Fees, Commissions Fees or other costs or expenses that may be otherwise due to the seller and/or PANDE Auctions, at any time during the duration of these Terms. If the Purchaser requests the return of the Security Deposit the Purchaser will not be able to participate in any Live Auction Events going forward.
4.4. Taxes and Compliance with laws. All bids and offers for the Product would reflect the net amount payable by the Purchaser including any taxes imposed on the Product with respect to the transaction. The Purchaser is liable to pay all such taxes or to establish to PANDE Auctions satisfaction, on behalf of the seller, a valid exemption certificate from such taxes. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the service provided by PANDE Auctions comprises of all the sales and after-sales services along with the associated taxes in relation to the transactions that arise in connection with its use of the Site and that the Purchaser remains liable to pay any such tax liability. PANDE Auctions shall not in any manner be responsible, liable or participate in respect of the calculation, collection or other dealing of any and all taxes in respect of the Product, the Purchaser and the seller of the Product in the transactions contemplated herein. The Purchaser is expected to provide PANDE Auctions with any necessary documentation (e.g., Bills of Lading, export documents, etc.) no later than ten (10) business days from the date of purchase of the Product resulting from the Live Auction Event. If the Purchaser has an exemption certificate that was not submitted at the time of sale, the Purchaser has ten (10) business days from the date of purchase to submit a valid exemption certificate in order for PANDE Auctions to process a refund. After ten (10) business days, the Purchaser will need to submit any refund request directly to the state for which the original sales tax was collected and remitted by PANDE Auctions. In the event the Purchaser’s credit card is charged for taxes on a purchase that is subsequently exempted from such tax, the amount shall be refunded to the Purchaser’s credit card used in the purchase. The Purchaser shall indemnify PANDE Auctions against any tax, cost or expense if the Purchaser fails to provide PANDE Auctions with a valid exemption certificate or other supporting documents necessary to calculate tax in relation to a transaction. The Purchaser acknowledges and undertakes to make itself aware of and comply with all laws that may be applicable to the Purchaser’s access and use of the Site, and its entry into a transaction on the Site. PANDE Auctions disclaims any and all liability in respect of the Purchaser’s use of the Site and the Purchaser’s purchase of any Product resulting in any taxes (whether direct, indirect, local or federal), fines or penalties being levied on the Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the Purchaser’s responsibility to satisfy itself of any charges, taxes (whether direct, indirect, local or federal) or related obligations becoming applicable in respect of the transactions that the Purchaser enters into on the Site. The Purchaser shall indemnify PANDE Auctions and its affiliates (and the officers, directors, agents and employees thereof) against any tax, cost or expense arising from the Purchaser’s failure to satisfy any laws or regulations in relation to a transaction.
4.5. VAT. This provision shall only apply to Binding Obligations subject to value added tax as provided for in the Federal Decree-Law No.18 2022 on Value Added Tax of UAE or similar tax in countries outside the United Arab Emirates ("VAT") or other indirect taxes. All bids and offers for Product would reflect the amount of exclusive of VAT and other indirect taxes imposed with respect to the sale or purchase transaction. Accordingly, the amount of the successful bid in respect of any item of Product shall be exclusive of VAT and other indirect taxes, and the price payable by the Purchaser shall be exclusive of such taxes (e.g., VAT) chargeable in respect of the supply of the Product to the Purchaser. Similarly, all fees and other amounts payable to PANDE Auctions are calculated exclusive of VAT so the amount payable by the Purchaser shall be exclusive of the amount of VAT which may be chargeable in respect of the applicable Product. The amount payable shall be subject to VAT if the Purchaser fails to provide necessary documentation to seller to substantiate a VAT rate other than the standard VAT rate. The Purchaser shall enter the VAT registration number upon becoming a registered user of the Site and shall immediately notify PANDE Auctions if that number ceases to be valid for any reason. The Purchaser shall indemnify PANDE Auctions and its affiliates including the officers, directors, agents and employees thereof against any tax, cost or expense relating to the Purchaser’s and/or seller 's failure to satisfy any VAT chargeable in relation to a transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the responsibility of the Purchaser to make sure that any VAT (or similar) charges or related obligations have been met in relation to a transaction. Notwithstanding the above, the Purchaser shall be invoiced and be liable for VAT if the Purchaser is located in the UAE and qualifies to pay VAT under the laws and regulations of the UAE.
5.1. Liability for Product: The responsibility and risk of loss for Product shall remain with the seller until the earlier of: (a)the Purchaser taking custody of the Product (or when the Purchaser’s designated transportation carrier takes custody of the Product); or (b) receipt by the seller of all the proceeds from the sale of Product. Thereafter, the Product shall remain at the risk of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designated transportation provider.
5.2. Default: If, after seven (7) calendar days following the conclusion of a Binding Obligation, the Purchaser has not made full payment of the Purchase Price and all other applicable fees, the Purchaser is in default and will be subject to a penalty in the form of late payment fee of [AED 150.00 per calendar day]. PANDE Auctions may, in addition to other remedies available under applicable law including: (i) retain collection agencies and legal counsel (for which PANDE Auctions will seek reimbursement of any reasonable costs from the Purchaser) to collect outstanding amounts from the Purchaser, (ii) suspend the Purchaser’s transactional privileges on the Site, (iii) apply any payment or deposit received from the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s affiliates against amounts owing to PANDE Auctions or its affiliates and invoice the Purchaser for any remainder (including the Security Deposit), and/or (iv) with the seller’s permission, and on their behalf, rescind the offer to sell and then re-list the applicable Product or offer it to the second highest bidder. PANDE Auctions may suspend the Purchaser’s transactional privileges on the Site for any default, and unless otherwise determined by PANDE Auctions at its sole discretion, the Purchaser shall remain suspended from use of the Site.
5.3. Abandoned Product: The Purchaser’s failure to claim and remove Product within sixty (60) calendar days following the Item Release is deemed to be evidence of the Purchaser’s intention to abandon the Product, and PANDE Auctions on behalf of the seller may take action that may be adverse to the Purchaser’s interest in the Product, including, but not limited to, any appropriate steps under the law to dispose of the Product.
5.4. Freight and Transportation: The Purchaser is responsible for all freight, shipping and other costs related to transporting the Product from the posted Product location to its final destination including all the special handling, loading, transportation costs and permits required to move the Product.

Notwithstanding the preceding, PANDE Auctions may at its sole discretion provide transport and shipping services by way of a third party service provider.
5.5. Export: The Purchaser is advised to have all such certificates and permits issued and completed prior to transporting the Product. The Purchaser may otherwise be subjected to clearing, permit, and/or other payments if the Product is stopped and held at a port of entry to a state, province, jurisdiction or country. The Purchaser may not use PANDE Auctions Site if it is the subject of U.S. sanctions or of sanctions consistent with U.S. law imposed by the governments of the country where it is using PANDE Auctions Site. The Purchaser must comply with all U.S. or other export and re-export restrictions that may apply to Product and services. Nothing in these Terms shall, or shall be interpreted or construed to, induce or require PANDE Auctions of the Purchaser to act in any manner (including taking or failing to take any actions in connection with a transaction) which is inconsistent with or penalized under any applicable U.S. laws, regulations, rules, or requirements.

6.2. Limitation of Liability: To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall PANDE Auctions be liable for any special, indirect, punitive, cover, incidental or consequential damages, however caused, whether in contract or tort or under any other theory of liability, including without limitation, loss of revenue, anticipated profits, business or sales, any loss of goodwill or reputation, or the costs of substitute goods or services, even if PANDE Auctions has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
