1.2 DESCRIPTION OF SOLD IT LIVE SERVICE
Sold IT Live provides an online venue for Sellers to list assets for sale and
for Buyers to locate assets for purchase in order to facilitate the transfer
of ownership of assets ("Assets"). The Assets available through the
Site are offered by Sellers and not by Sold IT Live. Sold IT Live is not a party
to the offer or sale of these Assets, does not own the Assets listed on the
Site (unless so indicated), and only provides the technical means for the offer
and sale of the Assets. You acknowledge that Sold IT Live is not an 'auctioneer.'
Although we are sometimes referred to as an online auction, it is important
to realize that we are not a traditional auctioneer. Sold IT Live does not ensure
that a Seller and Buyer will complete a transaction. Sold IT Live is not responsible
for fulfillment of any Asset sale or for facilitating the delivery of said Asset(s).
Although Sold IT Live may supervise the content of information of the Site (see
"Supervision of Content" below), Sold IT Live does not assume responsibility
for verifying the material, content and information on its Site and is not responsible
for any damages, losses, expenses or other injuries incurred by any Member as
a result of relying on any material, content and information posted on the Site.
1.3 MEMBER REGISTRATION AND INFORMATION

current, complete, and accurate information about Member as prompted to do so,
and (2) maintain and update this information as required to keep it current,
complete and accurate. Furthermore, Member grants Sold IT Live the right to
use Member-related data for purposes described in the Sold IT Live Privacy Policy.
Member is further directed to review the Sold IT Live Privacy Policy for further
information concerning the collection and usage of Member information. Sold
IT Live membership is non-transferable. If any information provided by Member
is incomplete or inaccurate, Sold IT Live retains the right to terminate Member's
rights to use the Site. The Sold IT Live site is a private venue; Sold IT Live
may deny access to its site at its sole discretion, and for any reason or for
no reason. Providing false or fraudulent Member information could subject a
Member to criminal or civil liability as well as being a violation of these
Terms and Conditions of Use. Member may change personal information on its existing
membership account only to update the Member account.

will select a username and a password. Members are entirely responsible for
maintaining the confidentiality of their usernames and passwords. Furthermore,
Members are entirely responsible for any and all activities which occur under
a Member's username and password. Member agrees to immediately notify Sold IT
Live of any unauthorized use of Member's username or any other breach of security
known to Member. Sold IT Live may terminate the membership of any Member due
to the misuse, improper use or unauthorized use of their username, password
or this Site. Sold IT Live shall not be responsible and the Member shall defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Sold IT Live for any actual, special, consequential

II. Conduct Of Auctions On The Site
2.1 PROCEDURE FOR CONDUCTING AUCTIONS
All items are listed for the specified bidding periods (the "bidding")
shown on the Site and are deemed "sold" at the close of bidding set
at a time pre-determined by the Seller. Each Asset will have a description and
disclosure information on the Site, as well as any additional conditions of
sale provided by the Seller. Once bidding commences, Bidders may make a bid
at any time prior to closing of the bidding. All Assets will have a minimum
bid price disclosed on the Site. For certain Assets, the Seller may impose a
reserve price, which is not disclosed on the Site. If there are no bids above
the minimum bid or reserve price (whichever is higher), then the Seller is not
obligated to sell the item listed. After bidding closes on each Asset, Sold
IT Live will send the highest Bidder and Seller an e-mail detailing the highest
bid and contact information (a "Sold Notice"). In all auctions, a
Buyer who is designated as the winning bidder on the Asset listing, whether
or not they receive a Sold Notice, is legally bound to buy the Asset at the
quoted bid amount (see "Contractual Obligations of Buyers and Sellers"
below), and the Seller is legally bound to sell the Asset, pursuant to these
Terms and Conditions of Use subject to the additional conditions of sale specified
by Seller. The Seller is obligated to contact the winning Bidder within two
(2) business days to complete the transaction (or the Seller may engage a representative,
including Sold IT Live, to contact the winning Bidder on the Seller's behalf,
pursuant to prior agreement). The winning Bidder is also obligated to contact
the Seller within two (2) business days to complete the transaction. After two
(2) business days, if the Seller is unable to contact the winning Bidder for
whatever reason, the Seller may in its sole discretion (a) continue to attempt
to contact the high Bidder with assistance from Sold IT Live or (b) re-list
the Asset on the Site. Once the parties are in contact, the Seller and winning
Bidder shall complete the settlement of the purchase and sale of the Asset pursuant
to "Settlement of Transactions" below.
2.2 EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES; LIMITED RIGHTS TO RE-OPEN AUCTION
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the rare event of a documented
interruption in service, technical error or other exceptional circumstance of
a similar nature (defined by and determined at the sole discretion of Sold IT
Live and its affiliates), with respect to the services provided by Sold IT Live
or its affiliates (excluding technical errors with the Member?s own equipment
or Internet connection), the Seller for any adversely affected auction shall
have the right, within two (2) business days after such auction has closed,
or a ?Sold Notice? issued, to direct Sold IT Live to re-open such
auction. In such a case, the affected ?Sold Notice? shall immediately
become void and of no force and effect. Sold IT Live shall promptly send an
email to all documented Bidders, including any Bidder that received a ?Sold
Notice?, specifying the details pursuant to which the affected auction
shall be re-opened. At the direction of the Seller, participation in the re-opened
auction may be restricted to only those who participated in the original auction.
Bidders must make claims of interruption in service or technical error with
respect to the services provided by Sold IT Live within one (1) business day
after an auction has closed. Sold IT Live will make final determination that
there has been a documented interruption in service or technical error on the
Sold IT Live Site that has impacted the Member?s ability to place a bid.
However, the decision to re-open any auction shall continue to be at the sole
discretion of the Seller.
2.3 SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS GENERALLY
(a) Settlement between Seller and Buyer. The settlement of a purchase and sale
of an Asset following a completed bidding process shall be conducted pursuant
to this Section, unless otherwise provided in the Seller's conditions of sale
or in a written agreement executed by the Buyer and Seller. Unless otherwise
provided in the Seller's conditions of sale or otherwise agreed upon by the
Seller and Buyer in writing, final settlement shall take place no later than
five (5) business days after Buyer is given a Sold Notice. Sellers shall provide
unsigned copies of any documents of transfer or other necessary settlement documents
to the Buyer within two (2) business days of receiving the Sold Notice. In order
to conduct settlement, the Buyer shall send the full purchase price (including
any Buyer?s Premium, minus any deposit previously paid) to the Seller
pursuant to payment information provided no later than two (2) business days
after a Sold Notice is issued. Upon receipt of the full purchase price, the
Seller shall send the fully executed settlement documents, as appropriate, to
Buyer by overnight mail at Seller's expense. In some real estate transactions,
the delivery of an Asset may take longer if there is an administrative delay
in the transfer of ownership through no fault of the Seller. However, to ensure
a timely transfer of the real estate title, the Seller is required to submit
all necessary transfer documents to the appropriate jurisdiction within five
(5) business days after the Seller receives payment in full from the Buyer.
If the Seller is unable to convey a clear title to the property, the winning
bidder will not be considered a non performer.
(b) Return and Refund Policy. Sold IT Live requires all Sellers in certain asset
categories (for example, jewelry, coins, and artwork) to provide a return and
refund policy in their listings. The Sold IT Live policy states that a 100%
return/refund policy is required for any auction in these categories that includes
an appraisal, certification, or stated/estimated retail value.
If the asset listing does not include an appraisal, certification, or stated/retail
value, the Seller may charge a restocking fee (not to exceed 15% of the total
transaction price) to offset the cost the Seller incurs for accepting a return
and issuing a refund. Refunds will not include the Seller's original shipping
and insurance charges.
To ensure fairness for both parties, the Buyer must contact the Seller within
ten (10) calendar days from receipt of the item and return the item within fifteen
(15) calendar days to the Seller. The cost of return shipment will be the responsibility
of the Buyer. Sold IT Live recommends that the returned item be shipped return
receipt and be insured. The item must be in its original condition, not worn
or altered, any identifying tags must not be removed and all original documents
must accompany the item return. The Seller must have possession of the item
within fifteen (15) calendar days from the day the Buyer received the item;
otherwise it is at the Seller?s discretion whether or not to provide a
refund. Sold IT Live requires that the Seller promptly send the refund within
ten (10) calendar days after receiving the returned item.
All returns and refunds must be handled directly by the Buyer and Seller. Please
review the Sold IT Live, LLC. Seller Guide for more information. Abuse of our
return policy will not be tolerated. Sold IT Live has the right to suspend any
Buyer with frequent and excessive returns.
(c) Appraisal and Certification Policy. Sold IT Live does not require a Seller
to provide an appraisal, grading card or certification of authenticity for auctions
listed on the Sold IT Live site. However, if such documentation is used, it
must identify the item, and specify the qualifications and contact information
of the appraiser/grader/certifying entity. Documents showing valuation or grading
that are internally generated by the Seller or by an affiliate of the Seller
must be noted as an ?In-house Appraisal? and include the appraiser?s
name and contact information. Any asset listing not clearly displaying the source
of the appraisal or contact information may be removed from the Web site.
Independent and third party appraisals must be clearly indicated and include
the company name and contact information. An independent appraiser/third party
appraiser must have no other revenue relationship with the Seller except for
the services related to determining value.
2.4 Seller Rating System
After the close of the auction, the Buyer has the opportunity to rate the Seller
on the following categories: Product Quality/Value, Communication, and Ease
of Transaction. The Seller is rated on a score of 1-5 stars, with 1 star being
very dissatisfied and 5 stars being very satisfied. This rating system will
provide prospective Bidders with useful feedback from past transactions with
the Seller. The requirements and restrictions include the following: Only the
winning Bidder may submit feedback for each auction, no comments can be entered
or posted and only winning Bidders with an active account can submit a rating.
Sellers are restricted from marketing this feedback rating on any other online
or offline venue. The overall star rating system will be posted on each of the
Seller?s auction listings. This can be found by the Seller?s name
with the number of feedback ratings in parenthesis.
2.5 Seller Identity Verification
In order to protect the reputation of its Sellers and to provide an added measure
of security for its Buyers, Sold IT Live may maintain an Identity Verification
Procedure via one of the credit reporting agencies. The Identity Verification
Procedure is one tool in enhancing the Internet buying experience. However,
this Identity Verification Procedure should be used in conjunction with other
buyer protection tools, such as the Sold IT Live Seller Rating System and the
Jewelry Refund Policy. We also encourage Bidders to communicate directly with
potential trading partners through the tools available on the Site. Bidders
may also wish to consider using a reputable third party escrow service. Ultimately,
the Seller and Buyer are responsible for successful completion of a transaction.
Despite the tools offered to its Members, Sold IT Live cannot guarantee the
completion of a transaction between a Seller and a Buyer. See Section V. for
an explanation of Sold IT Live?s responsibilities and limitation of liabilities,
as well as available dispute resolution alternatives.
III. Responsibilities Of Buyers And Sellers
3.1 WHO CAN BID?
Bidders must register with Sold IT Live as a Member and be capable of forming
legally binding relations under applicable law. The services provided by Sold
IT Live are not available to individuals under the age of 18 years old and any
other individuals who are legally prohibited from, or otherwise incapable of,
entering into binding contracts. Sellers may not bid on their own auctions.
Sellers may not manipulate prices of auctions by having others bid on their
assets for them. First time Bidders must provide a valid major credit card as
a security measure before entering a bid. A Seller may request that Sold IT
Live restrict the right of a particular Member to bid on that Seller?s
auction(s).
3.2 WHO CAN SELL?
Sellers must be the rightful owners, or authorized by the owners of such property,
a court of law, or through power of attorney to sell an Asset. Upon request
by Sold IT Live, Sellers must produce evidence of ownership and/or authorization
to sell on Sold IT Live. Sellers may be required to complete an Identity Verification
process prior to listing an Asset for sale on the Sold IT Live site. Sellers
may be requested to provide certain personal information to confirm his or her
identity through a third-party processor or other means.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sold IT Live shall have no liability whatsoever
for errors or omissions in connection with the Identity Verification process
and Sold IT Live makes no warranties that such process is or will be error free.
3.3 CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS OF BUYERS AND SELLERS
(a) Terms and Conditions of Use As Contract. These Terms and Conditions of Use,
together with any additional conditions of sale provided by a Seller for a particular
Asset disclosed on the Site, comprise a contract between a Seller and the winning
Bidder in any completed auction. By bidding on an Asset a Bidder agrees, and
by listing an Asset on the Site a Seller agrees, to be bound by these Terms
and Conditions of Use and the Seller's conditions of sale included in the Asset's
description, so long as those conditions of sale are not in violation of these
Terms and Conditions of Use or unlawful. In the event of any direct conflict
between these Terms and Conditions of Use and any conditions of sale provided
by a Seller, then these Terms and Conditions of Use shall control.
(b) Offer and Acceptance - Binding Contract Between Buyer and Seller. A bid
made by a Buyer is an offer to purchase the Asset from the Seller at the stated
bid price. The bid is an irrevocable offer, subject only to material changes
in the description of an Asset made after such bid is placed by a Buyer. Buyers
are required to conduct any research or due diligence of an Asset prior to making
a bid. All Assets are listed and sold on an "as is" "where is"
basis, unless otherwise indicated by the Seller on the auction listing. If a
Buyer bids on an Asset and that bid represents the highest bid for that Asset,
and the highest bid is at or above the Seller's minimum and/or reserve price
(whichever is higher), the Buyer's bid is deemed accepted by the Seller (subject
to these Terms and Conditions of Use, including the right of a Buyer to change
or retract a bid in the event of a material change in the description of the
Asset, as set forth below), except for exceptional circumstances, such as a
material typographical error. Once the Seller accepts a Buyer's bid, the Buyer
is obligated to purchase the Asset at the price he/she offered and pursuant
to these Terms and Conditions of Use and the Seller's conditions of sale. If
a Seller receives at least one bid at or above the Seller's stated minimum price
(or in the case where the Seller has set a reserve price, at or above the reserve
price), the Seller is obligated to complete the transaction with the highest
Bidder upon the completion of the bidding, except for an exceptional circumstance,
such as a material typographical error or other conditions stated in these Terms
and Conditions of Use. The Seller's conditions of sale may provide for a specific
form of purchase agreement to be executed by the Seller and winning Bidder after
the auction closes. In the absence of a specific form being provided by the
Seller in the conditions of sale, the Seller or the winning Bidder may request
that the parties execute a standard form of purchase agreement, consistent with
these Terms and Conditions of Use and the Seller's conditions of sale, to memorialize
and confirm the agreement between the parties. Sellers and Buyers agree to act
reasonably and in good faith in negotiating and entering into a written purchase
agreement if requested by either party.
(c) Completing a Settlement. The Seller and the Buyer are jointly and equally
responsible for completing the sale of an Asset. After the online bidding is
complete, unless otherwise indicated/engaged, the Seller is responsible for
taking all necessary actions to complete the sale once a winning Bidder is identified
to the Seller. Sold IT Live retains the rights to terminate a Seller's rights
to use the Site in the event a Seller fails to perform its obligations to settle
on a completed auction. Similarly, the Buyer is responsible for taking all necessary
actions to complete the sale. Sold IT Live retains the right to terminate a
Buyer?s rights to use the Site in the event a Buyer fails to perform its
obligations to settle on a completed auction. If an Asset is located in the
U.S. and the Seller requests that you send funds outside the U.S., do not send
funds before contacting Client Services at ClientServices@SoldITLive.com
(d) Material Change in Description of Asset. Sold IT Live may allow Sellers
to change their asset listing prior to acceptance of the first bid; however,
the date of the change will be noted on the listing after bidding commences.
In the event a Seller materially changes the description of an Asset after the
commencement of the bidding process, then all Bidders who have previously made
a bid on such Asset will be notified by e-mail that the description of the Asset
has been materially changed. Such Bidders will then have three (3) business
days (or another period provided in a notice to such Bidders) to amend or retract
his/her/its bid, after which time all bids will remain irrevocable.
(e) Other Conditions of Purchase and Sale. All purchases and sales of Assets
and use of the Site by Members shall be conducted in compliance with applicable
law. Purchases made on the Site are entirely without recourse to Sold IT Live.
All Members acknowledge and agree that closing of all sales of Assets may be
subject to final approval of a court (including a bankruptcy court ) or other
agency and that if such approval is not obtained, the Seller may withdraw such
Asset after a completed bidding process without any recourse or liability on
the part of Seller. In the case of a sale of any Asset(s) from a bankruptcy
estate, a sale is not final until a bankruptcy court gives final approval of
the sale.
(f) Enforcement of Buyer and Seller Contract Obligations. All Members are third
party beneficiaries of these Terms and Conditions of Use, and Buyers and Sellers
shall be entitled to enforce the provisions hereof and may pursue legal action
against each other for non-performance of any provision hereof, including without
limitation, non-performance of a purchase and sale after a completed bidding
process. In addition, Sold IT Live retains the right to terminate a Member's
rights to use the Site in the event a Member violates these Terms and Conditions
of Use.
(g) Conducting Due Diligence. Bidders are required to conduct any research or
due diligence of an Asset that they wish to conduct prior to making a bid. Bidders
wishing to physically inspect Assets seen on the Site may make arrangements
to do so at Seller's discretion. The Asset description may contain information
regarding inspections and other due diligence opportunities available. However,
in the case of an Asset such as a promissory note, mortgage, or other Asset
that involves a payer or debtor or other third party that is not a Seller and
not part of the purchase and sale transaction on this Site, then Bidders are
strictly prohibited from contacting such payers, debtors, or other third parties
until the bidding is complete, the winning Bidder has paid for the Asset in
full, and the purchase and sale of the Asset is settled. Permitted due diligence
includes reviewing the Seller's description of an Asset, as well as reviewing
land records, tax records, appraisals, and other publicly available sources.
3.4 OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE SELLER
(a) Description of Assets. The Seller must accurately describe Assets in a listing
provided for inclusion on the Site and shall be liable for any misstatements
or omissions in such description. Seller must disclose any and all outstanding
encumbrances such as mortgages and taxes due, or outstanding notices such as
utility cutoff notices. Failure to accurately describe an Asset may be fraudulent
and may subject a Seller to civil and/or criminal liability, as well as being
a violation of these Terms and Conditions of Use. Sold IT Live retains the right
to terminate a Seller's rights to use the Site in the event a Seller includes
material misstatements or omissions in an Asset's description. Seller further
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Sold IT Live against any action brought
against Sold IT Live by any person or entity arising out of or due to any action
or omission of the Seller whether said action or omission is described herein
or not, or may otherwise relate to any transaction by the Seller or any third
party. Prior to listing an Asset, the Seller shall provide to Sold IT Live any
terms or conditions of sale for particular Assets in addition to these Terms
and Conditions of Use. Seller will not reference, directly or indirectly, other
Sellers? auctions or terms, nor include negative comments regarding other
Seller?s auctions or terms in their listings.
(b) Compliance with All Applicable Laws. Sellers are also responsible for complying
with all applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations
and legal approvals regarding the sale of any Assets, including without limitation,
bankruptcy court approvals, federal and state securities laws regarding the
sale of any Assets that may be deemed a "security," Seller disclosure
laws for any real estate Asset, including environmental and broker licensure
laws, export licensing and laws governing the sale, packaging, shipment, distribution
and labeling of products, published materials or information, and all other
applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules and regulations pertaining
to the sale of any Assets. Sellers are solely responsible for ensuring that
all items offered for sale are offered in full compliance with any applicable
legal limitations or restrictions.
(c) Linking With Other Web Sites or Information. No listing shall establish
a link to (i) any Web address not pertaining directly to the asset listing,
(ii) any private Web page with site navigation enabled, (iii) any promotion
of email alerts for items not listed on Sold IT Live, (iv) any reference to
auctions listed on sites other than Sold IT Live, or (v) any advertisement or
statement for any business, individual, organization, concept or entity. If
prohibited links are found after the listing is live, Sold IT Live has the right
to cancel that auction or classified listing without notice. No refunds will be issued for such violations.
(d) Accepting Risk of Buyer's Ability to Complete a Transaction. Sellers acknowledge
and agree Sold IT Live does not provide any representations with regard to the
ability of Bidders to pay Sellers the bid price for the Asset being sold.
(e) Payment of Fees to Sold IT Live. Sold IT Live' fees are posted on the Site.
Seller agrees to pay applicable fees without offset. Unless otherwise agreed
to by Sold IT Live, payment of the Listing Fee and Premium Services fees (if
selected) are due when the Seller completes the listing ("Sell an Asset")
process. Success Fees or Commissions related to a completed auction are due
to Sold IT Live at the time an auction ends and is marked as Sold, unless other
payment terms are agreed to by Sold IT Live. If the Seller does not notify Sold
IT Live in writing of a winning Bidder's failure to complete the transaction
("Non-Performing Bidder") within 7 days of the close of the auction,
the Success Fee is immediately due in full and is not refundable. Unless otherwise agreed
to by Sold IT Live, all fees will be charged to the Seller's credit card account
that is provided during the listing process. By completing the listing process,
Seller authorizes Sold IT Live to charge the Seller?s credit card account,
unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Sold IT Live. If the Seller?s
card is no longer valid at the time the auction ends and the Asset is marked
as Sold, Sold IT Live reserves the right to invalidate the auction unless the
Seller has made alternate payment arrangements. Any fees or charges not paid
by the Seller within 7 days of provision of service will be subject to a late
fee equivalent to the rate of 1.5% per month from the date of provision of service.
See the Sold IT Live Asset Fee Schedule for additional information regarding
fees and commissions.
Members may request that Sold IT Live refund charges to a Member?s charge,
credit or debit cards. Sold IT Live will review such request and respond within
two (2) business days. However, charge backs requested through Member?s
issuing bank are an unacceptable charge dispute resolution method. Member agrees
to immediately pay to Sold IT Live any charge backs of amounts originally charged
to such Member?s charge, credit or debit cards, as well as for fees incurred
by Sold IT Live for such charge backs. Member?s responsibility for charge
backs and related fees will continue even if Member has received the funds,
and/or closed the Sold IT Live account. Any refunds issued to memebr will be in the form of a site balance credit, there is absolutely no reverse charges allowed.
(f) Exclusivity. Unless otherwise agreed to by Sold IT Live in writing, Seller
agrees that Sold IT Live will be the sole venue for each listed Asset for the
term of the listing online or otherwise. Seller may not duplicate any listed
Asset on any other online site or through any offline sales method. If a Buyer
makes an offer outside of the Sold IT Live venue, it is the Seller?s obligation
to have that Bidder register and have that bid submitted on the Sold IT Live
Site for the Asset in question. Once an Asset is listed on the Site, if a Seller
sells the Asset outside the Sold IT Live venue, then Sold IT Live shall be entitled
to receive the full commission that it would have received if the Asset were
sold on the Site.
