    6. Listing an Auction Lot for sale as a Seller

    6.1 A Seller may list an Auction Lot for sale on the Platform by way of a Live Auction listing, a Power Sell listing, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

    6.2 Live Auction listing: After the Auction Lot is accepted for listing, you shall be committed to have the Auction Lot listed with us exclusively for a specified duration a “Live Auction”) together with any Preview Period (if selected) and/or extension of that Live Auction. This means that during this period, you shall not use another means of sale in respect of that Auction Lot.

    6.3 Power Sell listing: When you commit your Auction Lot to the ‘Power Sell’ listing you commit to have that Auction Lot listed with us exclusively whilst that listing remains live on the Platform. You are inviting Buyers to bid at or above the listing price. When a Buyer makes a bid for your Auction Lot via a Power Sell listing at or above the Power Sell listing price you must select which offer you wish to accept, the sale is then automatically agreed, you will complete the sale to your selected Buyer, and we will remove your Auction Lot from the Power Sell listing.

    6.4 To list an Auction Lot for sale on the Platform, a Seller must submit a request and upload photos and related information.

    6.5 A listing submission from a Trade Seller will be posted on the Platform automatically but may be subject to further review and approval by Carhuna in its sole discretion at any time.

    6.6 A listing submission from a Consumer will be subject to an approval process undertaken by Carhuna. Once all information required by Carhuna has been provided, Carhuna will consider the proposed Auction Lot and use its reasonable endeavours to confirm to the Consumer within two (2) Business Days of submission of the listing if the Auction Lot is accepted to be listed on the Platform.

    6.7 It is the Seller's sole responsibility to ensure that its listings are accurate and comply with the requirement of clause 7 below as to Content and descriptions.

    6.8 Reserves: A Seller can submit a Reserve price for the Auction Lot when submitting a Live Auction listing on the Platform. Once a Reserve is set and the Live Auction listing is live, you may reduce the Reserve or withdraw it, but you cannot increase it. If no Reserve is submitted and the Auction Lot is listed for sale without a Reserve, the Seller acknowledges that there will be no minimum Purchase Price for the sale of that Auction Lot.

    6.9 If a Buyer makes the highest bid on the Auction Lot during a Live Auction, and that Bid is within 10% of the Reserve set by the Seller, we reserve the right (at our discretion and without further reference to or consultation with the Seller) to make up any shortfall to the Reserve set by the Seller (“Shortfall Payment”). Carhuna will make the Shortfall Payment after the Auction Lot has been sold and the Auction Lot has been paid for and collected by the Bidder within 30 days. Carhuna reserves the right to request evidence that this transaction has been completed (including payment by the Seller up to the value of the winning Bid) prior to making such payment. The Seller (i) agrees to accept the Shortfall Payment on the terms of this Agreement and to treat the same as satisfying any Reserve applicable to the Live Auction; and (ii) acknowledges and agrees that the provision of such payment by Carhuna to the Seller is an independent transaction and does not in any way make Carhuna a party to the Sale Contract or any other transaction between the Seller and the Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, Carhuna's obligation to make a Shortfall Payment shall arise upon notification to the Seller via email and/or telephone following conclusion of the Live Auction, but shall be subject to a condition subsequent that the Sale Contract is fully performed and all obligations under it discharged by the parties in all respects.

    6.10 Carhuna gives no warranty or representation as to the anticipated or likely selling price of any Auction Lot. Any estimate given, whether written or oral, as to the estimated selling price of any Auction Lot is a statement of opinion only and may be subject to revision from time to time at Carhuna's sole discretion and should not be relied upon as an indication of the actual selling price.

    6.11 Without prejudice to Carhuna's rights under clause 7.4 below, a Seller is not permitted to withdraw an Auction Lot from sale after it has been listed in a Live Auction or Power Sell listing, save in exceptional circumstances (including material loss or destruction of the Auction Lot) and subject to obtaining Carhuna's prior written consent. Carhuna is entitled, in its absolute discretion, to refuse any request to withdraw an Auction Lot pursuant to this clause 6.11.

    6.12 If you, as a Seller, withdraw your Auction Lot from sale pursuant to clause 6.11 above, or following a Live Auction or from a Power Sell listing and an agreed sale of your Auction Lot to a Buyer, you fail to complete the sale of the Auction Lot within the timeframe agreed with the Buyer for any reason other than the default of the Buyer, you will be obliged to pay the Commission to Carhuna in accordance with clause 11.1 that would have been paid by the Buyer, calculated as follows:

    (a) if you fail to complete the sale of the Auction Lot following a Successful Bid (whether through a Live Auction or a Power Sell listing), calculated on the final Purchase Price of the Auction Lot; or

    (b) if you withdraw your Auction Lot from sale after it has been listed in a Live Auction or as a Power Sell listing pursuant to clause 6.11 above, the Commission will be calculated on (i) the higher of the highest Bid received prior to withdrawal or the last Reserve you agreed with Carhuna, or (ii) in the absence of a Bid, the last Reserve; or (iii) if there are no Bids and there is no Reserve, a minimum charge of £500, excluding any applicable Taxes on all Auction Lots.

    6.13 As a User, you acknowledge and agree that:

    (a) when you are participating on the Platform as a Seller, you will not bid on your own Auction Lot once it has been listed for sale on the Platform; and/or

    (b) when you are participating on the Platform as a Buyer, you cannot Bid on an Auction Lot of an Associate, nor can an Associate bid on your Auction Lot unless they have a genuine intention of purchasing the Auction Lot.

    An “Associate” for the purposes of this clause 5.9, has the meaning given to it in section 435 of the Insolvency Act 1986.

    6.14 If, in Carhuna's reasonable opinion, it determines that any User has acted in breach of clause 6.13, you acknowledge and agree that:

    (a) Carhuna shall be entitled (in its sole discretion) to terminate or suspend the User's access to its Platform Account and consequently, remove all of those User's active Auction Listings and any Classifieds (whether it is participating in that listing as a Seller or a Buyer and take any other such action as it may reasonably consider appropriate or necessary in the circumstances; and

    (b) if you are not a Consumer, you will be liable to us and indemnify us for any losses or costs, including legal costs, that we may incur arising out of any breach of clause 6.13. If you are a Consumer, you will be responsible for any loss or damage we suffer as a result of a breach of clause 6.13.

    7. Auction Lot: Content and Descriptions

    7.1 The Seller is solely responsible for the factual accuracy of, and for any opinions expressed in, the description of each Auction Lot entered by you, and for any error, misstatement or omission of information in that description, as well as the condition, authenticity and quality of the Auction Lot.

    7.2 If you are a Seller and you list an Auction Lot for sale on the Platform, you represent and warrant that:

    (a) you are the legal owner of the Auction Lot, or you are a duly authorised agent for a principal who is the legal owner of the Auction Lot;

    (b) you have legal possession or control of the Auction Lot and are able to deliver the Auction Lot into the possession or control of the Buyer;

    (c) you are free to sell the Auction Lot listed on the Platform;

    (d) you will complete any governmental or regulatory registration requirements necessary to complete the sale of the Auction Lot;

    (e) neither you nor the legal owner of the Auction Lot are subject to any international sanctions under the UK, EU or US sanctions regimes or are based in a country that is subject to any such sanctions regimes at any time on or after the date of this Agreement;

    (f) the Auction Lot was not obtained through or connected with any criminal activity, including (without limitation), theft, money laundering or tax evasion.

    (g) you will complete the sale of the Auction Lot to the successful Buyer;

    (h) that the Auction Lot will be free of any charges or encumbrances or that such charges or encumbrances will be satisfied on or prior to payment of the Purchase Price and you will transfer unencumbered legal ownership to the Buyer; and

    (i) the terms of the Sale Contract to be entered into between the Seller and the Buyer will form part of the Auction Lot description or will be communicated to the Buyer via the Platform, and will comply with all applicable laws and regulations for the sale of the Auction Lot to a Trade Buyer and/or a Consumer (as applicable).

    7.3 The description of the Auction Lot is, to the best of the Seller's knowledge, accurate and not misleading. By listing an Auction Lot, the Seller represents and warrants to Carhuna that the Seller has notified (or will before the listing goes live on the Platform notify) Carhuna in writing of any material alterations to the Auction Lot of which the Seller is aware, any material defects in the Auction Lot, and of any concerns expressed by third parties in relation to the authenticity, age, condition or quality of the Auction Lot, and has provided Carhuna with all such information in the Seller's possession or control.

    7.4 If the Seller notifies us in writing of any required amendments to the description during the Live Auction (including by amending or updating a listing), we may, at our discretion (and without limitation of our rights under this Agreement), (i) announce these amendments in the listing by way of an express notification of an edit to the original listing description or (ii) suspend or withdraw the Auction Lot without prior notice to Users. Where an Auction Lot is withdrawn by Carhuna as a result of amendments under this clause, we may, acting in our reasonable discretion, charge the Seller for our lost Commission as set out in clause 6.12, and in doing so will take into account whether, in our opinion, the Seller was or should reasonably have been aware of any alteration, material defect or concern regarding the authenticity, age, condition or quality of the Auction Lot at the time of listing, and/or whether the reason for the withdrawal was reasonably foreseeable or otherwise within the Seller's control.

    7.5 As a Seller you are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information you provide in connection with an Auction Lot and assume all risk and liability associated with such information, including any third-party reliance on its accuracy or completeness.

    7.6 While Carhuna may (in its sole discretion) perform some verification processes in relation to the Vehicle prior to listing the Auction Lot on the Platform, to the extent permitted by law, Carhuna expressly disclaims any duty to the Seller or the Buyer to investigate the accuracy of the description of any Auction Lot provided by or on behalf of the Seller. Listings do not comprise representations by Carhuna to any User and Carhuna shall not be liable to the Seller or the Buyer for any error or misstatement in or omission from the description of any Auction Lot.

    7.7 Carhuna reserves the right to carry out any due diligence or other background checks into Users as it deems necessary to meet its legal and regulatory obligations and to suspend, postpone or cancel any listing or transaction at any point without liability to any User should it identify a potential breach of such legal and regulatory obligations.

    7.8 The Seller gives Carhuna the full and absolute right to:

    (a) use any photographs and illustrations relating to an Auction Lot at any time at its absolute discretion (whether or not in connection with the Live Auction, Power Sell or Classified listing).

    (b) use and display the User's marks, branding and other Intellectual Property Rights on the Platform strictly for the performance of the Services, provided any such use shall be in accordance with the User's written brand guidelines that may be provided to Carhuna from time to time.

    7.9 During the term of the Agreement, Carhuna grants to a Trade Seller a non- exclusive, royalty-free licence, revocable at any time, to use Carhuna's Intellectual Property Rights in its name and logos for the limited purpose of promoting the Trade Seller's listings on the Platform on its own website, online platform or social media channels. For the avoidance of doubt, the use of Carhuna's Intellectual Property rights pursuant to this clause 7.9 will be subject to Carhuna's absolute right to demand the removal or modification of any Content by the Trade Seller at any time.

    8. Bidding on an Auction Lot as a Buyer

    8.1 If you are a Buyer bidding for an Auction Lot or making a Bid on an Auction Lot via Power Sell, you acknowledge that it is your responsibility to:

    (a) check the accuracy of your Bids;

    (b) arrange an inspection of an Auction Lot you intend to bid on;

    (c) independently determine the description, ownership, value, condition, authenticity and quality of the Auction Lot;

    (d) directly contact the Seller to determine the cost of any delivery or other charges associated with the potential purchase of an Auction Lot that may become payable to the Seller and the options as to the method of payment;

    8.3 As a Buyer, you agree in respect of each Bid submitted for an Auction Lot that:

    (a) your Bid is a legally binding obligation on you, that if your Bid is successful and achieves any Reserve required by the Seller (unless the Reserve is waived by the Seller) or where you use the Power Sell functionality, a Sale Contract will be concluded, and you must pay the Purchase Price to the Seller;

    (b) your Bid creates a binding obligation upon you to Carhuna to pay the Commission, which shall not be conditioned on the Sale Contract being performed in full or in part by any party, or on the legality, impossibility or frustration of the Sale Contract, or affected by the Sale Contract being avoided, rescinded, cancelled, amended or varied (or by any analogous event), whether in whole or in part. The amount and the time at which the Commission falls due will be determined at the end of the Auction based on the winning Bid or Power Sell price.

    (c) you are making an irrevocable offer to purchase that Auction Lot and you must pay to the Seller the final amount of your highest Bid;

    (d) your Bid is irrevocable and cannot be withdrawn, including any maximum bid.

    8.4 It is the responsibility of a Buyer and Seller, respectively, to negotiate any additional or supplementary terms of a Sale Contract for an Auction Lot. All written communications between a Buyer and a Trade Seller in respect of an Auction Lot should be retained by the Buyer and the Trade Seller as evidence of such communications. Copies of all such communications shall be made available to Carhuna if required.

    8.5 When you first bid on an Auction Lot, our third-party payment provider, Stripe, will put a hold on your credit or debit card for an amount based on the reserve or expected sales price as set out below. This hold will then be immediately released and no money taken.

    £1,000,000+£18,000

    8.6 If your Bid is successful, subject to achieving any Reserve required by the Seller unless the Reserve is waived by the Seller, you will pay to the Seller the final amount of your highest bid within five (5) Business Days of the auction ending unless otherwise agreed with the Seller. If you do not make payment in full to the Seller within the five (5) Business Days, or within the timeframe agreed with the Seller, you will lose the right to purchase the Auction Lot and the Commission due and payable to Carhuna will not be refundable. You will complete the purchase of the Auction Lot and make payment to the Seller and pay the Commission, in the name or entity in which you are registered as a User on the Platform.

    8.7 For the avoidance of doubt, your failure to perform your obligations under the Sale Contract (including, as a consequence of the Seller's termination of a Sale Contract pursuant to clause 10.4) for any reason other than the default of the Seller will not relieve you of your obligation under this Agreement to pay the Commission to Carhuna in accordance with clause 11.1. Without limitation of our rights in this respect, in the event that a Seller elects to treat the Sale Contract as having been repudiated or rescinded, we may assist the Seller to attempt to sell the Auction Lot to the next highest Bidder via the Platform, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

    8.8 In the event that your Bid is unsuccessful, and a Reserve is not met or waived by the Seller in respect of the Auction Lot, Carhuna may in its discretion, within five (5) Business Days of the expiry of the Live Auction or Power Sell listing, contact one or more of the Bidders and the Seller to facilitate the potential completion of the sale of the Auction Lot to a Bidder, on terms mutually acceptable to the parties and subject always to the terms of this Agreement, including (for the avoidance of doubt) the User’s obligation under clause 11 to pay the Commission due to Carhuna. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no obligation on any of the parties to complete a sale and purchase of an Auction Lot under this clause 8.7.

    8.9 Power Sell listings: You can make a Bid on Auction Lots listed under a Power Sell listing. When you make a Bid for an Auction Lot via Power Sell at or above the Power Sell price and the Seller elects to proceed with your offer, the sale is agreed and you are agreeing to pay the Commission and complete the purchase of the Auction Lot.

    8.10 Carhuna may at its discretion remove any Bid made by a Buyer bidding for an Auction Lot if:

    (a) you have not provided us with a valid payment method for the Commission, either because we could not pre-authorise your payment card, or for any other reason;

    (b) we have reasonable grounds to believe the Seller is bidding for the relevant Auction Lot, or we believe you are bidding on behalf of the Seller; or

    (c) you did not pass one or more of the due diligence checks we have made on you.

    8.11 You represent and warrant that the funds you use for your purchase of an Auction Lot, and the payment of the Commission, have no link with criminal activity including, without limitation, money laundering, tax evasion or terrorist financing.

    8.12 As a Buyer, you acknowledge that we do not inspect any vehicles that may be listed on the Platform and further acknowledge and agree that Carhuna bears no risk or liability associated with purchasing a vehicle from a Seller through your use of the Platform. Arranging for an inspection of the vehicle is your sole responsibility.

    9.Classifieds

    9.1 A Seller may submit an advertisement to sell a Vehicle or Automobilia on the Platform via their Platform Account. By placing a Classified on the Platform, you are deemed to have accepted the terms of this Platform Agreement, together with all other policies and terms that may be posted on the Platform from time to time.

    9.2 The Seller is solely responsible for the factual accuracy of, and for any opinions expressed in, the description of the Vehicle or Automobilia listed for sale in the Classified, and for any error, misstatement or omission of information in that description, as well as the condition, authenticity and quality of the Vehicle or Automobilia.

    9.3 Carhuna reserves the right to remove or suspend the publication of a Classified on the Platform at any time and in its sole discretion. If a Classified is so removed or suspended on the Platform, we will attempt to contact you to explain why your advert has been removed or suspended.

    9.4 Each time a Seller places a Classified on the Platform, a separate severable contract is formed between you and us, which is subject to this Agreement. If you are a Consumer, unless you purchase additional Classified listing spaces, you may place no more than one (1) Classified on the Platform at any one time.

    10.Term and termination

    10.6 The termination of this Agreement (or the termination of any Sale Contract pursuant to clause 10.4) shall not affect any right or obligation of the parties accrued up to the date of termination, including for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of the Commission to Carhuna.

    11.Fees and Payment

    11.1 In consideration of Carhuna performing the Services, a User in its capacity as Buyer or Seller shall pay the Commission due immediately following notification of a Successful Bid on the Platform, together with any additional costs or charges which have been approved by the User in writing. Carhuna shall notify the User of the Commission and charges incurred in relation to the supply of the Services, and the payment terms applicable to that User, via the Platform.

In such circumstances, Carhuna will attempt to recover the Shortfall Payment using the payment authorisation granted by the User to Stripe, Inc.

    20.General

    20.1 Data protection

    20.1.1 Each of Carhuna and the User will comply with their obligations under the Data Protection Legislation. Where the User elects to share personal data with another User using the Platform, the Users acknowledge that they do so as controllers within the meaning of the UK GDPR and in respect of transfers of personal data between one or more Users via the Platform, Carhuna will act as a processor for each User, as further set out in this clause 20.1. The User will ensure that it has all necessary appropriate consents and notices in place to enable lawful transfer of the Personal Data to Carhuna and/or lawful collection of the Personal Data by Carhuna on behalf of the User for the duration and purposes of this Agreement.

    20.1.2 The parties acknowledge that for the purposes of the Data Protection Legislation, the User is the Controller and Carhuna is the Processor. The Privacy Policy sets out the scope, nature and purpose of processing by Carhuna, the duration of the processing and the types of Personal Data and categories of Data Subject.

    20.1.3 Without prejudice to the generality of clause 20.1.1, Carhuna shall, in relation to any Personal Data processed in connection with the performance by Carhuna of its obligations under this Agreement:

    (a) process that Personal Data only on the documented written instructions of the User as set out in this clause 20.1.3 and in accordance with the Privacy Policy, unless Carhuna is required by Domestic Law to otherwise process that Personal Data. Where Carhuna is relying on Domestic Law as the basis for processing Personal Data, Carhuna shall promptly notify the User of this before performing the processing required by the Domestic Law unless the Domestic Law prohibits Carhuna from so notifying the User;

    (b) ensure that it has in place appropriate technical and organisational measures (which are set out in the Privacy Policy and which User is deemed to have reviewed and approved), to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of Personal Data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, Personal Data, appropriate to the harm that might result from the unauthorised or unlawful processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage and the nature of the data to be protected, having regard to the state of technological development and the cost of implementing any measures (which may include, where appropriate, pseudonymising and encrypting Personal Data, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of its systems and services, ensuring that availability of and access to Personal Data can be restored in a timely manner after an incident, and regularly assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organisational measures adopted by it);

    (c) ensure that all personnel who have access to and/or process Personal Data are obliged to keep the Personal Data confidential; and

    (d) have general authority to transfer any Personal Data outside of the UK , and in relation to which:

    (i) the User or Carhuna shall provide appropriate safeguards in relation to the transfer;

    (ii) the User or Carhuna shall ensure that the Data Subject has enforceable rights and effective legal remedies;

    (iii) Carhuna complies with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation by providing an adequate level of protection to any Personal Data that is transferred; and

    (iv) Carhuna complies with reasonable instructions notified to it in advance by the User with respect to the processing of the Personal Data;

    (e) assist the User, at the User's cost, in responding to any request from a Data Subject and in ensuring compliance with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation with respect to security, breach notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities or regulators;

    (f) notify the User without undue delay on becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach concerning data undergoing processing within the meaning of this clause 20.1;

    (g) at the written direction of the User, delete or return Personal Data and copies thereof to the User on termination of the Agreement unless required by Domestic Law to store the Personal Data;

    (h) allow for and contribute to audits by the User as further set out in this clause 20;

    (i) maintain complete and accurate records and information to demonstrate its compliance with this clause 20; and

    (j) immediately inform the User if, in the opinion of Carhuna, an instruction infringes the Data Protection Legislation

    20.1.4 Carhuna shall have general written authority to appoint third-party processors of Personal Data under this agreement, including those third party processors set out in the Privacy Policy upon User's entry into this Agreement and at each subsequent amendment or variation thereof. Carhuna confirms that it has entered or (as the case may be) will enter with each third-party processor into a written agreement either substantially on that third party's standard terms of business or incorporating terms which are substantially the same as those set out in this clause 19 and in either case which Carhuna undertakes reflect and will continue to reflect the requirements of the Data Protection Legislation. As between the User and Carhuna, Carhuna shall remain fully liable for all acts or omissions of any third-party processor appointed by it pursuant to this clause 20.1.4.

    20.1.5 Carhuna shall inform Users of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of other processors by updating the information on such processors in the Privacy Policy, thereby giving the User the opportunity to object to such changes. Objections shall be notified in writing to Carhuna. Carhuna shall notify the User without undue delay if it is unable to provide the Services in the ordinary course of its business without the assistance of such processor, and in such circumstances either party may terminate the Agreement by written notice to the other, without limitation of each party's rights up to the date of termination.

    20.1.6 The User acknowledges and accepts that the payment information you supply to Stripe, Inc. is not within Carhuna's control and is subject to Stripe's own privacy policy and terms and conditions, which can be found at the link shown in clause 11.3 above.

    20.1.7 Carhuna's obligation to allow for and to contribute to audits shall be satisfied if, following written notice from a User, Carhuna (i) provides copies of the User's Personal Data or the information contained in such data in a commonly-used electronic format; (ii) confirms to User the technical and organisational measures taken for the protection of Personal Data; and (iii) confirms to the User whether it is aware of any Personal Data Breach having taken place which has affected the User, other than any previously notified to it. Carhuna may make a reasonable charge for contributing to audits in the manner set out in this clause 20.1.7and may condition such contribution on User's acceptance of specific confidentiality obligations in relation to the business and operations of Carhuna, its suppliers and customers from time to time.

    20.1.8 Carhuna may, at any time by amendment or variation of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, revise this clause 20.1by replacing it with any applicable controller to processor standard clauses or similar terms adopted under the Data Protection Legislation or forming part of an applicable certification scheme (which shall apply when replaced by attachment to this agreement).

    20.1.9 The details of processing of Personal Data under this Agreement shall be as follows:

    (e) Scope of Processing: the provision of the Services via the Platform on the terms of this Agreement.
