Connecting Parties Selling Vehicles and Those Buying Vehicles

Curated Bid functions as the intermediary connecting parties offering vehicles for sale, known as "Sellers," with parties in pursuit of vehicles, referred to as "Bidders." Our Services serve as a virtual rendezvous point, facilitating the process of vehicle transactions. It's crucial to acknowledge that the actual sales contract for each vehicle listed on our platform is exclusively negotiated between the Seller and the winning Bidder.

In the context of these Terms, when we employ the term "you," it encompasses all users, regardless of whether they assume the role of a Seller, Bidder, registered user, or unregistered user. However, when we make use of specific designations such as "Seller" or "Bidder," they are intended exclusively for users who fall within those respective categories.

Before procuring a vehicle from any Seller, commonly referred to as a "Seller Vehicle," Bidders bear the responsibility of independently evaluating the suitability of the Seller Vehicle for their needs. Curated Bid's role is limited to facilitating connections between Sellers and Bidders; we do not assume responsibility for ensuring that any Seller Vehicle meets specified quality standards. Furthermore, Curated Bid disclaims any responsibility for verifying the accuracy or currency of information, including credentials, provided by any Bidder or Seller. Each Seller commits to making reasonable efforts to complete the sale of their Seller Vehicle in the event of a successful bid. In situations where a Bidder secures the winning bid in an auction through our Services, they are bound by their bid and assume responsibility for all applicable government fees and taxes related to the acquired vehicle. It's imperative to bear in mind that we do not exercise control over the actions of Bidders or Sellers, as Sellers and Bidders are not affiliated with our organization.

Curated Bid DOES NOT DIRECTLY FACILITATE THE SALE OF SELLER CARS. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT Curated Bid DOES NOT SUPERVISE, DIRECT, CONTROL, OR MONITOR SELLER CARS AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR SELLER CARS. THIS DISCLAIMER INCLUDES ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS REGARDING QUALITY, SUITABILITY FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE, OR ADHERENCE TO APPLICABLE LAWS, REGULATIONS, OR CODES.

Sellers are prohibited from withdrawing a vehicle listed for auction on our platform before the conclusion of the auction. While a Seller Vehicle is showcased on our Services, Sellers are restricted from listing or making the same Seller Vehicle available on any other auction, dealership, listing service, classifieds ad platform, or publication.

Fees

Listing Fees

Currently, there are no Seller listing fees for listing a Seller Vehicle on the Services.

Buyer Fees

If you win a bid for a car listed on the Services, you are required to pay a fee, referred to as a "Buyer’s Fee," which amounts to 5% of the winning bid amount as listed on the Services. However, it's important to note that for each winning bid on the Services, the minimum Buyer’s Fee is $250, and the maximum Buyer’s Fee is $7,500. All Buyer’s Fees are non-refundable.

When you place a bid on the Services, a hold will be placed on your credit card equal to 5% of your bid amount, with a minimum of $250 and a maximum of $7,500. After the auction concludes, all such holds will be removed, except for the hold on the winning Bidder’s credit card, which will be charged as payment for the Buyer’s Fee immediately after the auction listing ends.

Seller Payments

Within ninety (90) days after an auction concludes, Sellers must provide Vehicles & Bids with the necessary information to process payments to the Seller under the Services. This information may include PayPal or bank account information and a current IRS Form W-9. Failure to comply with this requirement means Vehicles & Bids will not be liable for any outstanding payment obligations owed to the Seller at that time.

If you believe that material or content existing on or accessible through the Services infringes upon your copyright (or the copyright of someone you are authorized to represent), kindly transmit a notice of copyright infringement. This notice should encompass the following particulars and must be directed to Curated Bid's Designated Agent for Receiving Claims of Infringement (referred to as our "Designated Agent," whose contact details are presented below):

(c)    Suspend the access of such content provider to the Services in the event of repeated violations.

Counter-Notification Process

If the content provider believes that the material previously removed (or for which access was disabled) does not infringe upon copyrights, or if the content provider believes they possess the right to post and utilize such material, either as the copyright holder, their agent, or in accordance with the law, the content provider may send a counter-notice containing the following details to the Designated Agent:

(a) A physical or electronic signature of the content provider.

(b) Identification of the material that was removed or for which access was disabled, along with the location where the material was available before its removal or disabling.

The content provider must also agree to accept service of process from the individual who submitted the copyright infringement notification.

Upon receipt of a counter-notice, Company may, at its discretion, transmit a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party. The original complaining party is then informed that the Company may reinstate the removed material or cease disabling access to it within 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner initiates legal proceedings to obtain a court order against the content provider accused of infringement, Company may choose to replace the removed material or restore access to it within 10 to 14 business days or more following receipt of the counter-notice, as determined by Company.
