Sales Overview ? TAG is an auction website that provides a platform or virtual space in which Buyers and Sellers make offers for sale or purchase. Our subsidiaries or principals may use the Site and Services in accordance with the Terms and Conditions. TAG may also be a Consignment Seller of items sold by a consignment arrangement with TAG (a ? Consignment Items?). For Consignment Items, TAG will assist Seller in preparing a listing on the Site. The word ?Consignment? and Consignment Sales are governed by the Maine Uniform Commercial Code. TAG is not a broker or dealer. TAG does not sell, exchange, buy, or offer for sale, negotiate or attempt to negotiate, a sale or exchange of an interest in any item listed for sale on the Site or as part of the Services. It is important to understand that TAG does not hold or possess title for any item listed for sale on the service. We?re not store that stocks items for sale. Descriptions of Items ? It is very important to take note, that when you view item descriptions, TAG is not guaranteeing those descriptions. Regardless of who the Seller is, all items are sold ?as is-where is?. Unless otherwise stated, the items sold on the Site are not new nor in perfect condition, may have patent and or latent defects, may require touch-up or repairs prior to use, and the available information about these items may be limited. TAG provides no guaranty or warranty of any kind regarding the items sold on the Site. For Consignment Items, TAG will not list every flaw associated with each item as these are to be expected. In the case of obvious faults (faults that may be viewed in the item images supplied). if TAG is aware of a fault, it will list the fault within the description. However, if the Buyer discovers a fault that was not listed in the description, it will be conclusively presumed that TAG was unaware of the fault. TAG may provide assessments of an item as part of the description. However, Buyers should not assume that TAG?s assessment criteria are or would be the same as yours or any other person or entities criteria for assessment of any item listed for sale. It is the Buyer?s responsibility to read and review all descriptions and images of an item before bidding, and if relevant to the Buyer?s decision to offer to purchase an item, to ask for additional information from the Seller. The Site and Services descriptions of items are supplied by the Sellers. The Buyer states that Buyer is aware that as a condition of using the Site and Services Buyer will not attempt to hold TAG liable for any claim based on Buyer?s reliance on the description of an item or supplemental information provided by a Seller prior to purchase. It is very important to note before using the Site and Services, that items are listed on the Site and Services in ?AS IS? and ?WHERE IS? condition. That means that TAG and the Sellers make no, and expressly disclaim any and all, guarantees, warranties and representations, express or implied, to buyers with respect to any item or the accuracy or completeness of any item description or the ability of a seller to sell an item, and TAG and Sellers expressly disclaim the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose title and noninfringement. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, TAG and Sellers make no warranties, express or implied, with respect to an item?s quality, safety, legality, rarity, importance, historical relevance, or condition even to the extent that documents of provenance are exhibited or referred to. It is the buyer?s obligation to confirm the items conformity to Buyer?s standards or qualifications. Extension and Close of Internet Bidding ? At the scheduled date and online sale closing period of a sale, items will begin to close at a predetermined number of items per minute. All online sales may be subject to our automatic extension system defined as follows: if an item receives a bid with less than five (5) minutes remaining until closing, the close time will be reset to five (5) minutes from the time the bid is placed and will continue to reset to five (5) minutes with each newly placed bid. The item will not close until five (5) minutes have elapsed with no additional bid activity. Sales Format ? All bids must be placed through the Site. Unless otherwise explicitly stated by TAG in writing, the guidelines: i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) vii) Auction of personal property through the Service is conducted according to the following : the property is sold to the highest bidder; the auction does not require a minimum bid; the auction does not require competing bids of any type by the Seller or an agent of the Seller; and the Seller of the property cannot withdraw the property from auction after the auction is opened and there is public solicitation for bids; the Seller may set a Reserve price, which may not be disclosed; Some auctions have a Reserve Price. A Reserve Price is a hidden minimum price that the seller is willing to accept for an item. In a Reserve Price auction, the seller is only obligated to sell the item once the bid amount meets or exceeds the Reserve Price. A seller can lower, but cannot raise, the Reserve Price. Reserve Price auctions may not be noted or otherwise disclosed as such. As in all TAG auctions, all bids are binding, but an item will only sell to the highest bidder if the Reserve Price has been met. If the Reserve Price is not met, a seller will have the option of extending a Second Chance Offer to the highest bidder, which gives the highest bidder an option to purchase the unit at a price equal to his or her maximum bid amount; provided, however, that TAG reserves the right to withdraw any item from the Site or to amend any content on the Site at any time in its sole discretion. TAG will not be liable to Buyers, Sellers or any third party if we withdraw an item, amend any content on the Site, or deny you access to the Site or the Services. Transfer of Title ? We do not transfer legal ownership of items from the Seller to the Buyer. Maine Uniform Commercial Code § 2-401(2) apply to the transfer of ownership between the Buyer and the Seller, unless the Buyer and the Seller agree otherwise. TAG brings the parties together, and therefore cannot transfer legal title to the property. Bidding and Auction Buyer?s Contract ? Your winning bid placed on the Site represents an irrevocable contract and you are responsible for paying all amounts due to TAG. If you cannot pay for the items or agree to the shipping terms and costs, please do not bid on the items. For motor vehicles, a bid or offer initiates a non-binding transaction representing a Buyer?s serious expression of interest in buying the Seller?s item and does not create a formal contract between the Buyer and the Seller. If the nature of the item is such that a written agreement is required to prove a contract to buy and sell the item, these Terms and Conditions together with any electronic transmissions by the parties, including their user history shall conclusively establish a written agreement between the Buyer and Seller. Placing a Bid ? You agree and acknowledge that, in exchange for valuable consideration (including but not limited to the rights to use the Site, use the Services and participate in the online auction), all bids placed by you are irrevocable offers to purchase an item that may not be withdrawn by you at any time prior to the close of the auction. You expressly agree that, due to the irrevocable nature of the bids, any cancellation or correction of a bid by TAG may result in a previous bid being the highest current bid subject to acceptance at the close of the auction. By placing a bid, you expressly agree that if you are the winning bidder you will pay for your item and agree to any additional handling and shipping fees applicable for shipped items. It is your responsibility to read the full item listing and to understand the pickup and delivery options and costs for each item before you place your bid. All bids are shown in US dollars and all taxes, shipping, and handling charges are additional. It is very important that you do not share your user login information once you register to use the site. Any bids entered under your user name as established at registration shall be conclusively presumed to have been entered by you. Current and Auto Bids ? When submitting a bid, you must raise the bid by a minimum established increment. Bid increments can be found here. You may elect to raise the bid by more than the required current by entering a higher bid in the ?Your Bid? box. If you enter a higher current bid and your bid is the winning bid, you agree to be bound to your bid amount, regardless of any other previous bids. You may also elect to enter a proxy bid in the ?Auto Bid? box. If you enter an auto bid, the system will automatically raise your bid by the specified increments if you are subsequently outbid, up to your designated auto bid amount (?Auto Bid?). Auto Bids are not disclosed. Auto and/or Your Bids do not include any taxes, shipping or handling fees. Increasing Your Own Bid ? The system will permit you to raise your own bid by rebidding on the same item. This is to permit you to raise the price of an item out of the reach of other bidders. If you rebid on an item, your new bid is binding. If you are the current high bidder and want to increase your auto bid without increasing the current bid, you must use the ?Edit Your Bid? function. Bid Correction/Retraction ? As stated above, all bids represent irrevocable offers to purchase that may not be withdrawn prior to the close of the auction. It is your sole responsibility not to submit erroneous bids. In the event that you submit an erroneous bid more than twenty-four (24) hours before the scheduled close of a sale, you may request a correction through our Contact Form here . Bid corrections are at the sole discretion of TAG. Bid correction requests will become part of your user history and are subject to review. Under no circumstances will a bid correction request be honored in the final twenty-four (24) hours of a sale. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, TAG reserves the right to cancel any bid at any time if, in our sole discretion, we determine an error was made, or that the user making the bid violated these Terms and Conditions. Bidding Notices ? For your convenience, TAG provides certain e-mail, push and SMS communications regarding the status of ongoing sales. These communications are provided as a courtesy only and are not official bid status communications. The failure to receive a notification of a winning bid does not relieve you from your contractual obligations as the winning bidder. To confirm the status of your current bids, visit the ?I?m Following? page. You expressly agree that the display of the highest bid and the status of your current bid on the Site at the close of the auction are both accepted means of acceptance of your bid by the Seller. The bid history reflected on the TAG system supersedes any e-mail, push or SMS communication in dispute resolutions. Bidding Instructions ? For additional information and a step by step walkthrough of the bidding process, follow this link to Bidding Instructions. Shill Bidding ? You represent and warrant that you will not engage in shill bidding. Shill bidding happens when anyone (including family, agents, friends, employees, or online acquaintances) bids on an item with the intent to artificially increase its price or desirability, usually on behalf of the Seller. You will be held liable for any damages incurred by TAG due to your related shill bidding. Payment Maintenance of Payment Information ? In order to place a bid or list an item, you must have valid payment information stored in your profile. By providing your credit card information to TAG, you irrevocably authorize TAG to charge your credit card for the listing fee or total purchase amount of any winning bid plus any fees associated with the sale of the item, including but not limited to taxes, shipping and handling fees and restocking fees, as applicable. You also agree and acknowledge that you will maintain valid credit card information within your user profile so long as you maintain an account with TAG and that you are authorized to use the designated payment method. TAG reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to cancel listings or bids or suspend bidding privileges of any user not maintaining valid payment information. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect amounts owed by charging other payment methods on file with us, and/or retain collection agencies and legal counsel to collect the amounts due from you. In addition, you may be subject to late fees and interest in TAG?s discretion which will not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Payment Forms Accepted ? All invoices under five thousand dollars ($5,000) that are shipped must be paid with a credit card and/or valid gift card (if applicable). Purchases over five thousand dollars ($5,000) will require payment via cashier?s check, ACH or wire. Winning bidders with questions of how to make payment should submit a question via our Contact Form located here. If you do not elect a fulfillment method and you do not pick the item up during the scheduled pickup time outlined on the ?Sale Details? section or ?Item? pages, TAG reserves the right to charge your payment method on file for the greater of the total purchase price of the item plus any applicable handling and shipping charges or a $40.00 restocking fee, and may ship the item to your address of record. You hereby expressly grant TAG the right to hold a winning item until confirmation of cleared funds has been received by TAG. Sales Tax ? All sales are subject to appropriate state sales and use tax laws, including, any state sales tax laws applicable to Seller. Tax exempt buyers must provide the appropriate state sales tax exemption certificate prior to the end of the sale. Upon acceptance and validation of such information by TAG, your future purchases will not be taxed, provided that you are still eligible for tax exemption. You may be required to update certificates on file periodically as deemed necessary by TAG. TAG requires a sales tax exemption certificate for each state in which an exemption is claimed. For more information regarding sales tax exemption, please follow this link. Failure to Pay ? Any items not paid for in accordance with the TAG Terms and Conditions within seven (7) days of the sale closing (or upon a later applicable payment due date as may be provided herein) will be forfeited by you and, as to Consignment Items, TAG may, in its sole and absolute discretion, resell or dispose of the items as well as donate the items to a charity of TAG?s choosing. TAG reserves the right to charge any payment option you have on file and/or to report your account to collections for the combined total of the original invoice amount and any moving or disposal charges and you will be responsible for any charges incurred by TAG in collecting your payment. Gift Cards and Promotions ? Subject to the Terms and Conditions of the applicable gift card or promotional discount, TAG may accept payment via gift card or gift certificate and may discount invoices in accordance with certain promotions from time to time. Fulfillment Should you place the final winning bid on an item, an invoice will appear in your ?Won Items? list. By selecting the invoice and clicking ?Checkout? you will be able to designate your final fulfillment method. Pickup Option ? Certain sales and items may have a designated pickup time and location. Before bidding, confirm whether you can pick up your item at the designated time and location. You must provide your own tools, labor and transportation to facilitate safe removal of your item(s). Plan accordingly for large or bulky items. Be prepared to show identification to pick up your item(s). Purchases will be released upon presentation of proof of payment. TAG will not be liable for any damages created or incurred by you upon the pickup or transport of your item(s). Delivery ? TAG and Sellers utilize third party shipping agencies for packaging, handling and delivery of items. Please be aware that not all items are eligible for shipping. If shipping is available, you can request a shipping quote when viewing the item. The final shipping cost is subject to insurance cost based on the final bid price and occasional fluctuations in fuel surcharges from common carriers. (Shipping quote insurance calculations prior to the end of the sale are based on the current bid value.) If you intend to have an item delivered, it is your responsibility to understand the potential delivery costs before placing your bid. TAG will use reasonable efforts to ship the Consigned Items within ten (10) business days after the scheduled sale removal and payment date. When you win an item, any shipping times we provide are estimates only and actual delivery dates may vary. You acknowledge that some items may have a longer processing period such as large items which may take six (6) to eight (8) weeks for delivery. Alternate Pickup ? In certain locations, TAG may provide an alternative pickup location. If an alternative pickup location is available, it will be detailed in the item view. Additional fees may apply to have your item available at a designated alternative pickup location. Conditions regarding failure to pay and failure to pick up apply to alternate pickup locations. Handling Fee ? Items which must be moved from one location to another in order to make alternate pickup arrangements are subject to a minimum handling fee of ten dollars ($10.00) per lot. You agree that TAG may charge a higher handling fee, in its reasonable discretion, for certain items which are difficult to transport. Title and Risk of Loss ? Subject to these TAG Terms and Conditions, title and risk of loss to purchased items will transfer from the Seller to Buyer upon the completed processing and receipt of your payment by TAG made in accordance with these terms. In the event that Buyer take possession of any purchased item before the completed processing and receipt of your payment by TAG, the risk of loss will transfer to you upon your taking possession. TAG is not responsible for insuring items while in TAG?s possession. Seller agrees to maintain appropriate insurance on items and ensure its insurance covers the items while in TAG?s possession. Further, upon the transfer of risk of loss from Seller to Buyer, Buyer agrees to maintain adequate insurance coverage on such items while in TAG?s possession. Failure to Pickup ? In the event that buyer fails to pickup or designate shipping for the items purchased by buyer in accordance with the TAG Terms and Conditions, you hereby authorize TAG to charge your credit card the greater of the purchase amount of the item plus any taxes, shipping costs and handling fees or a $40.00 restocking free. When pick-up is selected by buyer or is the only option, if buyer fails to pickup any items at the specified time or designate a shipping or fulfillment option within seven (7) days of the close of bidding, buyer will be considered to have abandoned and forfeited the items. Buyer agrees that title to abandoned items with automatically transfer to TAG without any further action by buyer or TAG. Buyer hereby appoints TAG as its attorney-in-fact to execute any documents required to effect the transfer of title from buyer to TAG. Buyer expressly agrees that failure to receive any item in the event of abandonment does not relieve buyer of its obligation to pay for the item or any other fees. At a minimum, buyer will be charged the amount of its bid to satisfy payment obligations to the seller. TAG may, in its absolute and sole discretion, resell the items, dispose of or donate the items to a charity of TAG?s choosing. TAG reserves the right to charge buyer?s credit card on file for any moving, restocking or disposal charges and will not refund payment for the items. Liquidated Damages ? You acknowledge and agree that the remedies afforded to TAG in the ?Failure to Pay? and ?Failure to Pickup? paragraphs of these TAG Terms and Conditions (the ?Liquidated Damages?) constitute compensation and not a penalty. The parties acknowledge and agree that, due to the nature of TAG?s Services and online auction sales generally, the harm caused by your breach as contemplated in the aforementioned paragraphs would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate, and that the Liquidated Damages are a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from your breach. Your payment of the Liquidated Damages is TAG?s exclusive remedy for the breaches contemplated in the ?Failure to Pay? and ?Failure to Pickup? paragraphs of these TAG Terms and Conditions. Returns All items on the Site are sold ?as is ? where is?. TAG may accept returns in cases of material errors in the item description made by TAG, or by Seller, as determined by TAG in its absolute and sole discretion. Any return claims submitted for review by User must be received within thirty (30) days of the earliest of delivery or your taking possession of the item by contacting TAG at the link here. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary, TAG in its absolute and sole discretion may accept or reject a return under this policy. The Buyer shall pay the cost of any return which is rejected. Seller Additional Obligations Seller warrants that Seller has full authority to transfer all title and property rights to items it lists for sale as Consignment Items and that there are no reserved or hidden liens, encumbrances, or security interests in the items. At the time any Iien that is a motor vehicle is listed by Seller with TAG, Seller will provide TAG with a legible copy of a ?clean? certificate of title with respect to each such motor vehicle. Seller?s items are not insured by TAG against loss or damage due to fire, theft, vandalism, rain, water, criminal or negligent acts of others, or any other cause. TAG recommends that Seller carry or obtain insurance to protect the items from any loss or damage. Seller will look to its own insurance for recovery of any loss resulting from casualty and releases and waives any claims against TAG. This release and waiver remains in effect if Seller fails to obtain insurance, and in that case Seller will bear the full risk of its own loss. Embargoed goods and prohibited countries policy Various US agencies have restrictions in place that regulate or ban all trade with certain countries. TAG doesn?t allow the sale of embargoed or restricted items from these countries. Under US law, buying or selling certain items made in restricted countries may not be lawful, depending on the nature of the item, when it was manufactured, and when it left that specific country. Federal agencies also ban or regulate trade between people in the US and certain organizations, businesses, and individuals. TAG doesn?t allow those organizations, businesses, or individuals to use our website.

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Maine, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that these Terms and Conditions evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the Maine Uniform Arbitration Act. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Agreement to Arbitrate ? Read this section carefully because it requires the parties to arbitrate their disputes and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from TAG. For any dispute with TAG, you agree to first contact us at Tunick?s Auction Gallery, LLC , Attention: Legal, P.O. Box 1017, 21 Limerock Street, Rockland, Maine 04841and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that TAG has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, ? Claims?), by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in Knox County, Maine, unless you and TAG agree otherwise. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees pursuant to and in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys? fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; provided, that if you are an individual, you may apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; and you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed as preventing TAG from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights. If an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate and Legal Disputes shall still apply. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or TAG may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and TAG subject to the arbitrator?s discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you and/or TAG may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise. Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver ? With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have obtained or used the Service for personal, commercial or other purposes, all claims must be brought in the parties? individual capacities, and not as a plaintiffs or class members in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person?s claims. You agree that, by agreeing to these TAG Terms of Service you and TAG are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party?s individual claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect other users. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph?s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court, subject to your and TAG?s right to appeal the court?s decision. All other claims will be arbitrated. Jurisdiction ? Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, or for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision above, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and TAG must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Knox County, Maine.
