These terms and conditions are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any more specific agreements you may have or make with Manheim (e.g., sales invoices, consignment agreements, online visitor agreements, privacy policies, loan agreements, etc.). To the extent there is any conflict between these terms and conditions and other more specific agreements you have signed with Manheim, those other more specific agreements will control. Manheim may amend these terms any time by posting an amended version at its website, which shall become effective on the date of posting. Time is of the essence with respect to all of your duties hereunder.

2. Accuracy of Information: You certify that all registration and representative information you have provided to us, is true, correct, and complete. You agree to promptly update your information if there any change to the information you have provided.

3. Fairness and Courtesy: You agree to behave in a fair, ethical, courteous, and civil manner in your interactions with us, our personnel, and our other customers while participating in any Manheim auction, when accessing our online and mobile sites, or when otherwise using any of Manheim’s services. Should you have issues or concerns with the behavior of our personnel or other customers while attending any Manheim auction that cannot be resolved quickly and civilly on your own, you will raise those issues discreetly with our management.

4. Public: Public sales are held on Scheduled Saturdays, general public are allowed to attend these sales, public bidders are required to register and leave a deposit. Dealer-Only: With limited and specifically-advertised exceptions, our sales are dealer-only wholesale auctions open only to pre-registered and pre-approved licensed motor vehicle dealers, banks, manufacturers, and other commercial buyers (each a “Buyer”) and sellers (each a “Seller”). For clarity, when you are buying or selling a Vehicle, defined below, through a  Manheim auction, you are acting as either the Buyer or Seller, as applicable, as defined above. Curbstoning (i.e. retail sales from our premises) is strictly prohibited. You agree not to bring any actual or prospective retail buyers to Manheim, or to give them access to Manheim’s online portals, or to negotiate or consummate any retail transactions on or adjacent to any of our property. You further agree not to appoint any representatives to act on your behalf who are not bona fide agents of your dealership. You will provide your provincial sales tax registration(s) with respect to any Vehicles purchased in the provinces of British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and agree that you are responsible to pay any taxes or tariffs on your related or subsequent transactions. GST/HST/QST registered Sellers will enter into a joint Election between Auctioneer and Principal (Form GST502E) to have the Seller charge, collect and remit the GST/HST/QST in respect of the sale of the Vehicle(s). For non-registered Canadian Sellers, Manheim agrees to charge and account for the GST/HST/QST on all taxable (other than zero-rated) sales of Vehicles. The Seller shall indemnify and hold Manheim harmless from any costs, loss or assessments incurred by Manheim relating to its collection and accounting of the GST/HST/QST. 5.

5. Manheim’s Role: The Buyer and Seller agree that Manheim is acting strictly as the contracted agent between the Buyer and Seller. Should any problems or differences arise the Buyer and Seller agree under no circumstances shall either the Buyer or Seller take action against Manheim. The auctioneer reserves the right to revoke any bid number issued to any bidder for any breach, misrepresentation, misconduct or any verbal abuse by any means of communication performed by the bidder or guest of bidder at the auction site.

6. Bidding: Unless announced otherwise during the sale, all Vehicles are sold with reserve, and the auctioneer may bid up to the reserve. Seller bidding and use of shills are strictly prohibited. Bidders should remain aware and satisfy themselves as to a Vehicle’s condition and value before bidding and bring any incidents of improper bidding to management’s attention immediately at the close of bidding on a unit. Otherwise, participants ratify the auction of the Vehicle. The auctioneer reserves the right to accept or reject any bid and in the case of dispute the auctioneer’s decision shall be final.

7. Disclaimers of Representations and Warranties: All goods and services are sold on an “as is where is basis” no warranty exists implied or otherwise in relation to any item(s) and/or good(s) offered for sale unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the auction sale. Descriptions provided are a guide only and do not constitute a warranty or guarantee actual or implied.

MANHEIM CANNOT AND DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS RELATING TO THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, CURRENTNESS, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, DURABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY MANHEIM, AND CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU WILL BE ERROR FREE, OR CONTINUOUSLY AVAILABLE, OR THAT SUCH SERVICES WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

You acknowledge and agree that you are a sophisticated commercial party and agree to satisfy yourself as to the condition and value of a Vehicle and the terms of any bid before bidding or selling.

(d) Arbitration Procedures/Arbitrator Authority: Any dispute or claim subject to arbitration pursuant to this Section 25 shall be submitted to binding arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”)pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures as in effect at the time of the submission of such dispute or claim (the “JAMS Streamlined Rules”). The disputes and claims subject to arbitration pursuant to this Section 25 will be resolved by a single arbitrator selected pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Rules. The arbitrator shall be bound by and shall strictly enforce these terms and conditions and any other applicable agreement between you and Manheim, and may not limit, expand, or otherwise modify any of these terms and conditions or the provisions of any other applicable agreement between you and Manheim. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court of law could, applying the limitations of liability contained in these terms and conditions. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief if permitted by law – but the injunctive relief awarded by the arbitrator may not extend beyond our dealings with each other. The laws of the State of Georgia will apply to any claims or disputes between us. Any arbitration will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing. Each party will bear its own expenses in the arbitration and will share equally the costs of the arbitration; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall award Manheim any costs and fees to which Manheim may be entitled under Section 20 in connection with any indemnification claim, and may also, in his or her discretion, award costs and fees to Manheim if it is determined that you submitted or filed any arbitration in bad faith or that your claims against Manheim have no reasonable legal basis.

(e) Application of FAA/Survival: You agree that your transactions with Manheim evidence transactions in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 25 (notwithstanding the application of Georgia law to any underlying claims as provided for in clause (d) above). You also agree that this Section 25 survives any termination of these terms and conditions or any other agreement between us.

(f) Canadian Transactions and Claims (only): Notwithstanding anything else herein, the laws of the Province of Ontario will apply to any claims or disputes arising in Canada or related to any transactions conducted with us in Canada. Any such arbitration will be held with JAMS in Toronto, Ontario as otherwise outlined above and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing. 27. Individual Guaranty: By entering our private facilities and/or using our services, you personally guarantee full payment and performance of all the obligations you participate in incurring to Manheim, whether personally or as a representative of another entity, despite the fact that you may be participating in a representative capacity.
