Abandonment Policy

IronPlanet provides this Abandonment Policy to inform you of our policies and procedures with respect to its Marketplaces regarding Equipment that has not been removed by Buyers in a timely manner after availability of the Item Release. This Abandonment Policy only applies to Equipment sold on the Marketplace and does not apply to any Equipment sold through a Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers live auction event. All matters relating to abandonment are governed by the terms of this Abandonment Policy, and by the Buyer Terms and Conditions (located at http://www.ironplanet.com/pop/terms_page.jsp?noh1=yes&kwtag=footer) governing the purchase of the Equipment. This policy applies to all Equipment sold on the Marketplace unless a more specific policy or contractual agreement has been established.

IronPlanet may deem a Buyer's failure to claim and remove Equipment within sixty (60) calendar days following availability of the Item Release to be evidence of Buyer's intention to abandon the Buyer's Equipment. In these instances, IronPlanet may take action that is adverse to Buyer's interest in the Equipment, including, but not limited to, steps to dispose of the Equipment on the Buyer's behalf. Disposition of the Equipment may include a variety of approaches and IronPlanet will determine the appropriate disposition approach which may include:

1. Moving the item from its existing location and disposing of the item as IronPlanet deems appropriate; or
2. Scrapping the item; or
3. Advertising the item for sale on IronPlanet's Marketplace, whereby IronPlanet will remit the resale amount to the Buyer less IronPlanet's expenses, storage*, transportation and other costs, and a 20% administrative fee.

*If a Buyer has not removed the Equipment from its existing location within eight (8) business days after availability of the Item Release, the Buyer will be responsible for paying any and all storage fees levied on the Equipment. The maximum storage fees allowed to be levied on Equipment sold through an IronPlanet Marketplace will be 25.00 (in the listing currency) per day, beginning on the 9th day after availability of the Item Release, with the total amount not to exceed 1,500.00 (in the listing currency).

IronClad Assurance Policy

IronPlanet provides this IronClad Assurance^® Policy to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding Equipment that has been inspected by IronPlanet and received the IronClad Assurance certification. All matters relating to IronClad Assurance are governed by the terms of this IronClad Assurance Policy, and by the Buyer Terms and Conditions (located at http://www.ironplanet.com/pop/terms_page.jsp?noh1=yes&kwtag=footer) governing the purchase of the Equipment.

Description. If indicated by an IronClad Assurance^® inspection certification icon in an Equipment listing, a general condition inspection ("Inspection") of the Equipment was performed and an Inspection Report was generated that includes ratings, comments, and photos of the various components of the Equipment. IronPlanet Inspection Reports are solely for the purpose of reporting on the visible condition of the Equipment's major systems and attachments on the day of Inspection and do not include load testing or digging/lifting. IronPlanet Inspections are NOT intended to detect latent or hidden defects or conditions that could only be found by dismantling the Equipment or use of diagnostic equipment or techniques. In no event shall IronPlanet be liable for not identifying those or any other defects. The Inspection Report is the sole property of IronPlanet and is for your personal use only and may not be displayed, published, sold, reproduced, disseminated or otherwise distributed by you without the prior written approval from IronPlanet.

IronClad Assurance. Under the IronClad Assurance inspection certification program, if you discover that a piece of Equipment purchased by you is not substantially in the condition as represented in the Inspection Report and you are within the Eligible Dispute Period specified below, you may contact IronPlanet Customer Care and submit a written dispute ("Dispute Claim") to IronPlanet. To be considered, the Dispute Claim must be (a) in writing, (b) within the Eligible Dispute Period, (c) delivered to IronPlanet as specified herein, and (d) satisfy the Dispute Conditions below. A deductible in the amount of 750.00 in the listing currency will be applied to any settlement of a Dispute Claim.

Eligible Dispute Period. For a Dispute Claim to be considered, without penalty, you must review the Equipment and submit a Dispute Claim prior to the first occurrence of any of the following:

• Passage of Time - Eleven (11) business days after the date of the sale.
• Self-Transported Equipment (e.g., vehicles or self-transported items) - At the time the Equipment leaves the point of pick-up at the Seller's location for Equipment. You are encouraged to examine the Equipment thoroughly prior to removing it from the location.
• Transported via Common Carrier - Equipment delivered to (a) the Buyer's designated location within the United States or Canada for Equipment sold from the United States or Canada or (b) to the Buyer's designated location within the European Union member states, Switzerland and Norway for Equipment sold from such countries, subject to Passage of Time provisions above.
• Export - At the time Equipment leaves relevant port of export, if the Equipment is to be delivered outside the country where the Equipment is located, subject to the Common Carrier provisions above for Equipment located in the United States and Canada.
• Disassembly - At the time you or your agent or representative begins disassembly of Equipment from its "as-inspected" configuration, including disassembly for transport.

A Dispute Claim will be considered subject to a penalty (equal to 50% of the final dispute resolution value) if submitted after the first occurrence of any aforementioned period and prior to the twenty-first (21st) business day after the date of the sale. You may elect to waive any resolution and resell the item through an IronPlanet auction at the cost of the deductible (Equipment must be located in a country IronPlanet is authorized to sell from and all Dispute Conditions listed below must be satisfied).

Any Dispute Claim submitted after the twenty-first (21st) business day will not be considered, with or without penalty. At the time of Export and/or Disassembly (as defined above) you forfeit your right to any unresolved Dispute Claim on the Equipment and any future Dispute Claim will not be considered with or without penalty (unless IronPlanet has provided their written consent). You may elect to resell the item through an IronPlanet auction at the cost of the deductible (Equipment must be located in a country IronPlanet is authorized to sell from and Dispute Conditions listed below must be satisfied).

Dispute Conditions. Dispute Claims are subject to the following conditions:

• Receipt of full payment of the Transaction Fee, the Final Selling Price, and any associated taxes.
• Additional documents may be requested to process or verify a Dispute Claim. All requested documents must be returned within two (2) business days from the date the initial request is sent from IronPlanet. Requested documents returned after two (2) business days will be subject to delayed resolutions, late fees (not to exceed 750.00 in the listing currency), or potential denial of Dispute Claim.
• For export items, Dispute Claims must be initiated and settled prior to export.
• Ownership of the Equipment shall not have been transferred to another buyer.
• The Equipment must be available for immediate re-inspection by IronPlanet upon request.
• Until a Dispute Claim is resolved, the Equipment may not be used, rented or leased and no changes to the condition of Equipment such as repairs or disassembly may be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may move the Equipment around the lot, load/unload the Equipment, and operate the Equipment to verify the reported inspection condition after receipt of the Equipment; provided however that such operation does not result in the use of the Equipment for more than the lesser of (a) three (3) hours or (b) five (5) odometer miles from what is reported in the Inspection Report.
• IronPlanet shall not be responsible for any incidental damage which does not negatively impact the standard operation of Equipment or substantially alter the value of Equipment.
• IronPlanet shall not be responsible for Dispute Claims filed due to changes in Equipment condition as a result of exposure to the elements, including damage that occurs during transportation. Without limitation, IronPlanet shall not be liable for failure of Electronic Control Modules for systems or components, electronic displays, or consumables (e.g. batteries, fluids, lights, belts, tires, brakes, bulbs, starters, alternators, Freon and filters).
• Only substantial inaccuracies in the items reported in the Inspection Report are covered. In addition to items not discoverable on a general condition inspection, specific items that are not covered include (a) conditions that can be identified only through the operation of a machine on a job site or under load capacity (e.g., digging, pulling, lifting, etc.), (b) operating the machine through the full range of speeds required to evaluate all forward and reverse gears, (c) replacement or addition of attachments to the machine, (d) disassembly, (e) use of diagnostic or test equipment to evaluate characteristics such as engine compression, and (f) electrical systems, hydraulic systems, and leaks of any kind (including fluid and tires), and (g) cosmetic damage which does not impact the performance or standard operation of the Equipment.

However, Equipment and options and attachments can be known by different terms in different parts of the country. You must refer to the pictures contained in the Inspection Report to clarify your understanding of specific Equipment characteristics. IronPlanet is not responsible for any misinterpretation or oversight by you.
• If available, model year, make, and model is taken directly from the data plate. If not available, IronPlanet makes a good faith effort to find the model year, make, and model using widely accepted serial number guide reference material. IronPlanet is not responsible for any conflicts in model year, make, and model from alternative sources in the marketplace. IronPlanet is also not responsible for any conflicts in model year and year of manufacture within any make of equipment
• Conditions visible in any of the Inspection Report pictures (including the full-size image visible through zooming), even if these conditions are not specifically mentioned in the written narrative comments of the Inspection Report, are not covered.
• Drivetrain operational tests are limited to low speed in a confined flat area without load. Differential interlocks, full transmission shifting and functionality of all drive axles cannot be fully verified. Inspector listens for abnormal noises, observes leaks and notes physical damage.
• IronPlanet shall not be responsible for Equipment operating manuals or keys.
• IronPlanet makes no guarantees as to the actual hours/miles on Equipment. IronPlanet can only report what can be visually observed.
• The estimated total cost to fix items pursuant to a valid Dispute Claim must exceed 750.00 in the listing currency, which amount shall be applied as a deductible to any settlement of a Dispute Claim.
• Dispute Claims filed on equipment with a sale price lower than 750.00 in the listing currency will not be considered.

Adjudication of Equipment and Dispute Claims. IronPlanet shall be solely responsible for the review and adjudication of any Dispute Claims. All determinations made by IronPlanet shall be final. In the event of a refund to Buyer relating to a Dispute Claim, IronPlanet shall remit all funds in the manner in which Buyer submitted payment (i.e., wire transfer to Buyer's account or refund on Buyer's credit card).

The Post-Closing Delay Fee includes, but is not limited to, transportation cancellation or re-scheduling fees, transportation delay fees, hourly or daily average rental cost of equivalent replacement equipment for the Buyer, including loading, unloading and transportation costs. RB Group may assess the Post-Closing Delay Fee at its discretion. Further, if the Seller fails for any reason to release the Equipment to the Buyer once an Item Release is provided, the Seller will be subject to a seller default fee ("Seller Default Fee") in addition to any other rights or remedies that RB Group or the Buyer may have. The Seller Default Fee will be equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the purchase price, plus the commission due to RB Group and any costs incurred by the Buyer and validated by RB Group. If the Buyer notifies RB Group that the Seller does not make the goods available by the scheduled Pick-Up Date, RB Group will notify both parties and refund the purchase price to the Buyer within ten (10) days after RB Group sends the notice, if the parties cannot agree to a pick-up schedule.

5.3  Failure to Pick Up. If the Seller notifies RB Group that the Buyer has failed to pick up the goods or assume control by the Pick-Up Date, the Buyer will be placed in Default, and will be subject to the Buyer Default Penalty and rules outlined above. In addition to the Buyer Default Penalty, the defaulting Buyer may be subject to other claims, damages or liabilities to the Seller and/or RB Group; such as storage fees, administrative fees, the amount of any reduction in sales price upon resale of the goods by the Seller, and any applicable fines. Pending payment of the Buyer Default Penalty and any other assessed claims, damages, liabilities, and fees, the defaulting Buyer will be barred from bidding on any other listings on this and any other affiliated website operated by RB Group. RB Group reserves the right to withhold any default penalties and other applicable charges from monies previously paid by the Buyer, at RB Group's sole discretion. RB Group reserves the right to use a collection agency to collect any outstanding fees and penalties, and to report any unpaid payments to credit reporting agencies.

5.4  Abandoned Equipment. Unless otherwise stated in the Listing, the Buyer's failure to claim and remove Equipment within sixty (60) days following the Item Release is deemed to be evidence of the Buyer's intention to abandon the Equipment, and RB Group on behalf of Seller may take action that is adverse to the Buyer's interest in the Equipment, including, but not limited to, any appropriate steps under the law to dispose of the Equipment. RB Group's Abandonment Policy is located at http://ironplanet.com/main/abandonment.jsp and is hereby incorporated by reference.

5.5  Risk of Loss. The responsibility and risk of loss for Equipment shall be and remain with the Seller (and not RB Group or the Buyer) until the earlier of: (a) the removal of the Equipment from the posted Equipment location by the Buyer or the Buyer's designated transportation provider or (b) receipt by the Seller of all proceeds from the sale of Equipment. Thereafter, the Equipment shall be and remain at the risk of the Buyer or the Buyer's designated transportation provider (and not RB Group or the Seller). Unless otherwise dictated in the Agreement, RB Group has no obligation to maintain insurance coverage pertaining to the Equipment in the possession of RB Group for purposes hereunder.

6.  TITLED EQUIPMENT.

6.1  Titled Equipment. If selling titled Equipment, the Seller must provide RB Group with the original copy of each title in advance of RB Group making the Listing available on the SalvageSale Marketplace. RB Group will release the original title to the Buyer within fifteen (15) days of the Buyer being declared the winning bidder and after payment from the Buyer is received by RB Group. Not all transactions will result in a title transfer, and Buyers should review the Listing to determine whether a title transfer is applicable. In lieu of titles, certain transactions may result in the Seller providing a bill of sale to the Buyer. The Buyer is responsible for providing an executed document from the Buyer, executed by the Buyer and Seller, along with any other additional documentation which might be required, including, but not limited to, a fully executed equipment sales agreement and export documentation in order to obtain the bill of sale. Buyers are encouraged to review the Listing details to understand the necessary requirements which must be met before a bill of sale would be provided. RB Group may charge the Seller a title transfer fee equal to 70.00 per piece of Equipment requiring titles.

6.2  The Seller represents and warrants that (a) the Seller is the registered owner of the titled Equipment according to the applicable motor vehicle registry in the appropriate jurisdiction; and (b) if the Seller is unable to provide an original copy of each title, the Seller has undertaken their best efforts to locate or produce a duplicate title.

7.  TAXES.In any transaction on the SalvageSale Marketplace, Buyer and Seller are responsible for determining whether sales, use, value added tax (VAT), Impuesto al Valor Agregado tax (IVA), goods and services tax (GST), transfer, ad valorem or other similar taxes of any taxing authority apply to the transaction and to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. Unless otherwise agreed with the Seller, RB Group is not obligated to determine whether any such taxes apply and is not responsible for collecting, remitting or reporting any such taxes arising from any transaction. Invoices to Buyers may contain tax. When tax is due, Buyer is required to remit the stated tax. Failure to pay tax will result in Buyer being placed in default. Where applicable, all sums payable by one party to the other under the Agreement are exclusive of any VAT chargeable on any supply to which such sums relate and an amount equal to such VAT shall, in each case, be paid by the party making such payment on receipt of a proper VAT invoice.

8.  BIDDING PROCEDURES FOR SALES ON THE SALVAGESALE MARKETPLACE.The bidding procedures set forth below are the rules that govern the SalvageSale Marketplace. In addition, you are subject to the listing terms for any specific Listing on the SalvageSale Marketplace for which you submit bids. In case of any conflict between the listing terms of any specific items or lots and these SalvageSale Terms, the specific listing terms shall control.

8.1  Sale Formats. RB Group has four offering formats on the SalvageSale Marketplace which are explained below:

8.1.1  Sealed Bid. Buyers submit bids for listed items prior to the set ending time for the sale. Buyers are provided their rank position for the offering and may enter subsequent bids that are higher than their current high bid. Bid amounts are not disclosed to other Buyers. For any completed sale, the final purchase price and winning Buyers are confidential and will not be publicly released on the SalvageSale Marketplace.

8.1.2  Make Offer. Buyers bid on the Equipment and the bid is a binding offer to purchase the Equipment if (a) the bid meets or exceeds the minimum price as established by the Seller; (b) the bid is accepted by the Seller; or (c) the Seller proposes a counter offer and you accept. Otherwise, a Buyers obligation to complete the transaction will expire two (2) business days after it was submitted or upon acceptance of another bid by the Seller, whichever occurs first. There is no definitive closing time for the sale unless such a time is specified in the Listing. For any completed sale, the final purchase price and winning Buyers are confidential and will not be released to other parties.

8.1.3  Buy Now. Buyers may purchase an item at a fixed price that is published with the Listing. For any completed sale, the Buy Now is disclosed, but the winning Buyer is confidential and will not be publicly released on the SalvageSale Marketplace.

8.1.4  Online Auction. Buyers bid on the Equipment and the bid is a binding offer to purchase the Equipment if you are the highest bidder and have met or exceeded the applicable opening bid at close of the auction. For any completed sale, the winning bid is disclosed, but the winning Buyer is confidential and will not be publicly released on the SalvageSale Marketplace..

8.2  How Time Extension Works. Sealed Bid, Make Offer and Online Auction Listings will have a bid extension interval function. This interval will vary and will be published in the Listing. Any market leading bid, or bid that matches the market leading bid, placed within the bid extension interval just before a Listing's scheduled ending time will cause the Listing's ending time to be extended. The new closing time will be established by adding the bid extension interval to the time of the market leading bid. There is no limit to the number of times a Listing may be extended in this situation. This feature is also known as "extended bidding", "dynamic close" and "overtime".

8.3  How Bid Selection Works. Every Sealed Bid and Make Offer listing uses one of two possible bid selection methods. The bid selection method and process will be described in the Listing for each piece of Equipment. In each method, once a winning bid is selected, that Buyers will be emailed an invoice by RB Group within twenty-four (24) hours, at which time the Seller and winning Buyer are obligated to complete the transaction. These methods include:

8.3.1  Seller Bid Select. The Seller will select the winning bid after the conclusion of a Listing period, which may or may not be the highest bid, or may reject all bids. The amount of time allotted to the Seller to review and select or reject bids will usually be included in the lot terms.

8.3.2  Seller Bid Select with Asking Price. With a Make Offer format, an asking price ("Asking Price") will be published to the Buyer. If a lot is listed with an Asking Price, the Seller is not obligated to sell for any bid received below that price. When the Asking Price has been met, the highest bid at close of the Listing period will automatically be selected by the Seller. If the Asking Price is not met the Seller reserves the right to select a winning bid, which may be lower than the Asking Price, or the Seller may reject all bids. The amount of time allotted to the Seller to review and select or reject bids will usually be included in the Listing.

8.4  Changes to a Listing. Once a Listing has been made public, the Seller may not change the Listing without RB Group's approval. In very limited circumstances, RB Group may permit Sellers to add additional non-material descriptive information, such as pictures or text, or correct inaccuracies, which do not materially change the original listing. If material changes are needed to correct inaccuracies in a Listing, however, the Listing will be terminated and subsequently re-listed as appropriate.

8.5  Non-Retractable Bids. Bids are not retractable except in extraordinary circumstances such as when a clear typographical error is made. Buyers should carefully review their bids prior to submitting them. If a clear typographical error is made, the Buyer must immediately notify RB Group, via the Contact Us page or by phone. Notifications must be received no later than one hour after the erroneous bid is placed. RB Group reserves the right to approve or deny any bid retraction requests and retraction may result in default proceedings against the Buyer

8.6  Binding Bids. Bids made by Buyers on listed items are binding. At the end of a Listing period, if (a) Buyer is the highest bidder and has met or exceeded the applicable opening bid in an Online Auction or (b) a Buyer's bid is selected by the Seller in a Sealed Bid, Make Offer or Buy Now sale format, the winning Buyer is obligated to complete the transaction. Buyers agree that bidding for items listed for sale on the SalvageSale Marketplace is the legal equivalent of a firm purchase order. Buyers are obligated to complete transactions on all winning bids awarded to them. If a Seller chooses not to select a winner on any individual lot, Buyers are still obligated to complete transactions on all lots they were awarded.

8.7  Bids. RB Group is the final judge for the determination of winning bids. After the winning bid is established by RB Group and the winning bid is accepted by the Seller, a binding obligation to purchase and sell between Buyer and Seller is automatically created ("Binding Obligation"). All applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to the Binding Obligation. You and Seller will be notified of the conclusion of the Binding Obligation by an email or other notification that is generated automatically by the Marketplace. RB GROUP DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT BIDS PLACED ON THE MARKETPLACE WILL BE RECEIVED AND PROCESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER. RB Group reserves the right to reject or void any bids which RB Group believes have not been made in good faith, are intended to manipulate the bidding process, or are prohibited either by applicable law or the listing terms for such Equipment. RB Group reserves the right to withdraw, postpone or cancel any listing, or any sale that results from a listing, in its own discretion, with or without notice. RB Group shall have no liability to you as a result of any withdrawal, postponement or cancellation.

8.8  Technology Malfunction. If a technology malfunction materially affects the outcome of a Listing, RB Group reserves the right to void the Listing within 72 hours of the scheduled ending time.

8.9  Fair Bidding and Listing Practices. Sale price manipulation of any kind by users is strictly prohibited, including, without limitation, bidding through a secondary account or other party, by communicating with other Buyers, or by shill bidding. Buyers or Sellers who do not act in good faith or otherwise subvert the integrity of the SalvageSale Marketplace are subject to suspension or termination.

8.10  Collection of Statistics on Buyer Performance. As part of RB Group's monitoring of the SalvageSale Marketplace, RB Group collects statistics on each Buyer's bidding activities to determine such Buyer's performance history on this and other RB Group affiliated websites. Such statistics may include the number of completed transactions by a Buyer, failures or late funding of the purchase price, and taking late delivery of purchased goods. RB Group reserves the right to allow Sellers to access such statistics collected on a Buyer who bids on a specific item.

8.11  Pre-Qualified Buyer. Sellers may choose to limit a designated Listing to pre-qualified Buyers who will be required to place a specified amount on deposit with RB Group. Prior to the sale start, Buyers may be required to pay this deposit amount to RB Group by credit card or other approved methods. Only pre-qualified Buyers will be allowed to place bids during the sale. At the end of the Listing period, if deposits were provided, RB Group will promptly cancel the deposit charge on the credit cards of the Buyers who were not selected or declared the winning bidder. If the winning Buyer for a Listing defaults by failing to pay the agreed purchase price and other fees, the deposit amount of such Buyer will be forfeited and the Seller may exercise such other rights and remedies as are available under applicable law. In the event of such default, to the extent that the Buyer Default Penalty described above exceeds the deposit amount, RB Group will be authorized to charge such excess amount on the defaulting Buyer's credit card.
