Terms and Conditions of Cambridgeshire Auctions Limited (Company Number 15792587)

Our Auction Services

We provide online auction facility services through which you can bid for lots provided by third parties (the lots being auctioned are not ours). All auctions are to take place online.

We are acting as an auctioneer, and as such, we are acting as the agent of the seller of the lots auctioned. We are not responsible for any default by the seller. It is important that you read and understand these terms before using our services. By accessing or using our services, you agree to be legally bound by these terms, as they may be modified from time to time. We reserve the right to change these terms at any time. Amendments will take effect when posted on our website. By continuing to use our services, you agree to be bound by any amended terms.

Registration and Qualification to Use the Services

We only provide our services to businesses and not to consumers. Accordingly, by registering with us and by continuing to use our services, you confirm that you are doing so in a business capacity only.

Before making a bid, you will need to register with us by completing the registration form on our homepage and submitting it to us. By registering, you are making a statement, upon which we are entitled to rely, that you are aged 18 years or older and capable of forming a legally binding contract on behalf of your business. When registering with us on behalf of your business, you warrant to us that you have the authority to enter into these terms and any contracts entered into as a result of these terms on behalf of that business and that by registering with us, that business can enter into and be bound by these terms and any contracts entered into as a result of these terms.

You are responsible for ensuring that any registration details you provide us are kept up to date, and you confirm that you will advise us of any changes in your registration details as soon as possible.

On occasions, certain businesses will be refused access to our services, or their registrations may be rejected. Such suspensions and rejections shall be within our sole discretion.

Every bidder shall be deemed to act as a principal unless there is in force a written acknowledgment by us that the bidder acts as an agent on behalf of a named principal.

Information You Provide

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use any information you provide to us or other users of our services, for example, during the registration or bidding process, and for legitimate business purposes, e.g. running credit checks on you or your business. Such information shall be accurate and complete, shall not infringe any third party’s rights, shall not contain any viruses or other malicious computer programming routines, and shall not link to any other websites. You also warrant that you have permission to provide the information you provide us.

Security

You are solely responsible in all respects for all use of and for protecting the confidentiality of any email verification number and password which may be given to or selected by you for use on our site. You may not share these with or transfer them to any third parties.

Availability of Site

We cannot guarantee that our website will operate continuously or without faults or interruptions or that it will be error-free (and we do not warrant the content of our website, including but not limited to third-party content). We exclude all liability in that regard to the fullest extent permissible by law. This could affect bidding or other aspects of an auction or sale.

General Rules Governing Bidding and Buying

All bids must be provided to us through the iBidder, BidSpotter, The Salesroom, Lotissimo, and Live Auctioneers platforms. Please do not contact us directly with any bids as these will not be accepted. A bid will be placed when received by us from iBidder, BidSpotter, The Salesroom, Lotissimo, and Live Auctioneers. We will assume that all bids received by us are genuine. Once made, you may not retract a bid without our consent.

Other than as set out in these terms, we do not accept any liability of any nature as a result of any failure by iBidder, BidSpotter, The Salesroom, Lotissimo, and Live Auctioneers to provide us with accurate information regarding you or your bid, or for failure by iBidder, BidSpotter, The Salesroom, Lotissimo, and Live Auctioneers to communicate with you regarding your bid and the status of your bid, or for any failure by iBidder, BidSpotter, The Salesroom, Lotissimo, and Live Auctioneers to provide us with information relating to you or a bid made by you, or for any information on the iBidder, BidSpotter, The Salesroom, Lotissimo, and Live Auctioneers websites (including but not limited to information regarding all lots we are auctioning being inaccurate) or for any faults or lack of availability of the iBidder, BidSpotter, The Salesroom, Lotissimo, and Live Auctioneers websites or for the contents of the iBidder, BidSpotter, The Salesroom, Lotissimo, and Live Auctioneers websites generally.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to refuse any bid placed by you. We will receive your bid from iBidder, BidSpotter, The Salesroom, Lotissimo, and Live Auctioneers, but will contact you directly if your bid is refused. We will also let iBidder, BidSpotter, The Salesroom, Lotissimo, and Live Auctioneers know that your bid has been refused by us.

Each auction will have a start and an end time (bids will not be accepted after the end time). The end time of an auction may only be brought forward in the following circumstances: (i) in our absolute discretion or (ii) if a “Buy it now” price is met, as outlined in the relevant terms.

If you are the highest bidder after an auction has ended, you must complete the transaction. Any dispute as to any bid shall be settled at our absolute discretion (and we are not obliged to give any reasons for our decision).

A lot being auctioned may have a reserve price (as shown on the auction page for the vehicle, diamond & jewellery on iBidder, BidSpotter, The Salesroom, Lotissimo, and Live Auctioneers). In most circumstances, we will not advertise what the reserve price is. If the reserve price is not met, then the seller will not be obliged to sell the lot. If you are the highest bidder when the auction ends and your bid equals or exceeds the reserve price, the relevant terms regarding the sale will apply.

Your placing of a bid entitles us to rely on your bid, and as a result, you warrant and undertake that you have the legal right to make such a bid and to enter into any such transaction. By placing a bid, you understand that you are potentially entering into a legally binding transaction for the purchase of a lot. Please do not place a bid unless you consider that you will be able to properly fulfil the terms of any such transaction.

If someone places a bid using your account details, we will assume that the bid came from your account, so please keep your account details safe.

If you bid for a lot, you acknowledge and agree that if you have placed the highest bid (and such bid equals or exceeds a reserve price (if applicable) or you bid a “Buy it now” price (if applicable)), at the point at which the auction ends (or at the point at which your “Buy it now” bid is accepted), a contract of sale will be formed by you and the seller to buy the lot.

Any contract to buy a lot will be made directly between you and the seller. We will not be a party to or have any liability of whatever nature under that contract. The sale contract between you and the seller will include the relevant parts of these terms, including those related to the seller's obligations. Section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 shall be incorporated into the contract between you and the seller.

Please note that copies of the Auctions (Bidding Agreements) Acts 1927 and 1969 are held at our place of business.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to suspend, cancel or extend an auction at any time.

After you have made a bid, we reserve the right to request a deposit of £300 from you, which will be paid in accordance with the terms. If your bid is successful, this deposit will be set against any amount you owe for the vehicle. If your bid is not successful, then unless you notify us otherwise by email, we will return your deposit to you in full within 48 hours of the end of the auction.

iBidder, BidSpotter, The Salesroom, Lotissimo, and Live Auctioneers will keep you updated as to the status of your bid, including letting you know if someone has put in a bid which is higher than a bid made by you. If you have been successful in your bid, you will be notified of this by iBidder, BidSpotter, The Salesroom, Lotissimo, and Live Auctioneers. We will also contact you if your bid is successful to provide you with our invoice and information about when to collect the lot, as set out in further detail in these terms.

The title to the lot purchased shall not pass to you until you have made full payment and collected the lot in accordance with the applicable terms. Until the title passes, the lot shall remain the property of the seller.

Buy it Now

If a lot is marked “Buy it now” and you bid the “Buy it now” price shown within the timescales indicated on the auction page for the lot on iBidder, BidSpotter, The Salesroom, Lotissimo, and Live Auctioneers, then unless someone else has bid the “Buy it now” price before you, your bid will be the winning bid and the relevant sale terms will apply. If you purchase a lot via “Buy it now”, it may not be deemed a sale at auction. However, the rest of these terms shall apply, including that any contract for the sale of the lot shall be made between you and the seller, and that we shall not be a party to, or have any liability of whatever nature for, such contract (even though we may facilitate the contract and assist with matters such as payment).

Timing of the Auction and Inspection

Unless it is stated otherwise in relation to the auction of a particular item, a vehicle auction will usually run from a Tuesday to a Tuesday, with a vehicle auction having a daily extension. The jewellery sale will usually run from a Tuesday to Tuesday with no extension past that Tuesday.

You can physically inspect a lot that is up for auction as long as it is on-site after contacting us to make an appointment. Such an inspection shall be limited in its scope, and the parameters of the inspection shall be entirely at our discretion. Other than with our consent, such inspection may not take place within 48 hours of the time that an auction is to end. If a lot is “in transit” you can request an inspection report.

Status of Lots

Any reference to the age of a lot in the particulars relating to it is intended to be a reference to the year of the first registration of the lot in the United Kingdom. If the lot was registered in a jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom more than five years before it was first registered in the United Kingdom, it refers to the date of its first registration outside the United Kingdom.

All lots are sold where they are and in their actual state and condition at the point of sale, in accordance with these terms. All lots are sold with all faults, imperfections, and errors of description. Illustrations on our website and the iBidder, BidSpotter, The Salesroom, Lotissimo, and Live Auctioneers websites are for identification purposes only. We do not guarantee the accuracy of any photographs or illustrations of a vehicle, nor do we guarantee that illustrations will show the entire vehicle. You should satisfy yourself as to the condition of each lot prior to sale and exercise your own judgement regarding whether the vehicle matches its description. Neither we, the seller, nor our or their servants or agents are responsible for errors of description or the genuineness or authenticity of any lot. No warranty is provided by us, our servants or agents, or the seller and their representatives regarding the vehicle's condition, except as outlined above. Any express or implied conditions or warranties (whether statutory or otherwise) related to these matters are excluded.

If we are aware of any issues with a lot, such as a mechanical fault, we may mention this next to the vehicle’s listing. However, we do not guarantee that all or any issues will be noted, and no warranty is given regarding the accuracy of any comments made. You should not rely on these comments and are encouraged to inspect the vehicle yourself before bidding.

We may include information regarding the mileage and/or operating hours of a lot next to its auction listing, but we do not warrant the accuracy of this information.

Next to the listing of a lot for auction, we may also indicate a grade. Please note that we accept no responsibility for the accuracy of these descriptions in relation to any particular vehicle lot.

Grades

On every lot, there will be a grade rating, i.e., Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3. These are Cambridgeshire Auctions Limited’s limited assessment of a vehicle lot to make bidding/Buy it now easier for the bidder/purchaser to take into account any mechanical faults or faults known or suspected by Cambridgeshire Auctions Limited.

Grade 1:

The vehicle has been assessed to have no dashboard warning lights illuminated or any known faults from conducting a test drive on our main facility’s service road up to but not exceeding 15 mph. There are no leaks coming from the engine bay or undercarriage; the vehicle has no dashboard service lights illuminated. The vehicle's gearbox selects all gears. The clutch is functioning; the vehicle runs and drives. This grade will also state on the lot description vehicle status: Runner.

Grade 2:

(All vehicle lots that exceed 100,000 miles or over three years of age will be assessed as Grade 2 due to the mileage and age of the vehicle lot and may not have a fault present at the time of assessment conducted by Cambridgeshire Auctions Limited but could develop in time due to the age and mileage of the vehicle lot.) The vehicle lot has been assessed to have dashboard warning lights illuminated/missing dashboard warning lights. A vehicle test drive has been conducted on our main facility’s service road up to but not exceeding 15 mph. Minor/major faults have been assessed from the engine bay, gearbox, and clutch. It has also been assessed to have minor/major oil leaks, coolant leaks, electrical faults, or component faults mechanised or other. The vehicle runs and drives. This grade will also state on lot description vehicle status: Runner.

Grade 3:

The vehicle has been assessed as having major mechanical issues from the engine bay, clutch, gearbox, all components that make the vehicle run and drive. Under this grade, the bidder/purchaser will be advised to transport the vehicle away either by trailer or recovery company. This grade will also state on description vehicle status: Non-Runner. If the vehicle starts and runs with the fault present, we will put the vehicle status as “Runner”. This does not mean that the vehicle will be able to be driven away as the engine will start but a major fault prevents it from driving. 

Grade 0:

There will be one grade for imported lots. The imported lot has been assessed to have faults existing or suspected from the engine bay, gearbox, drivetrain, braking system and electrical system. As these vehicle imports are not registered in the United Kingdom and previously registered in the United States or Canada, they are not deemed roadworthy regardless of cosmetic condition or mechanical condition. They are not registered vehicles within the United Kingdom. We strongly suggest that every bidder takes the time to book a viewing appointment prior to bidding to make their own opinions prior to placing a bid on these lots. If not, they will be doing so at their own risk and understand and accept that the guidance Cambridgeshire Auctions Limited has instructed you prior to registering and you have accepted the terms and conditions (the contract) prior to bidding and have disregarded this guidance at your own risk.

Mileage / Kilometres:

●  (Verified) - If a lot states verified mileage or km, then we deem there has been no mileage discrepancies or mileage odometer tampering with the mileage displayed and deem it to be a true reading of mileage/km at the time of sale.

●  (Unverified) - If a lot states unverified mileage or km, then we deem there is a mileage discrepancy or the mileage odometer has been changed or tampered with and mileage or km are deemed totally incorrect and true mileage is unknown at the time of sale.

● (Unverified due to being an import) - Mileage or km are deemed incorrect as there is a significant mileage/km discrepancy due to mileage odometer being changed or tampered with, and the mileage/km and deemed totally incorrect from the mileage/km that are displayed at the time of sale, and the true mileage is unknown.

(HPI Reports U.K Vehicle Lots) - For vehicle lots, we check on the HPI system for any history of accident damage repairs. If the vehicle has no history of damage or accidents, then we will not place any remarks on the lot description, and this should be looked upon as HPI clear.

If a vehicle lot has a history of accident damage/repairs, then this will be located under auctioneer remarks under the category of the damage, i.e., (cat B, cat C, cat D, cat N, cat S), and will be located under auctioneer notes on each lot.

(Carfax reports U.S / Canadian Import vehicle lots) - For an imported vehicle lot, we take due diligence in finding out as much of the lot’s history as possible, but due to the vehicle lot being an import, we cannot warrant the Carfax reports due to the lots coming from outside the United Kingdom and not being registered vehicles. We do supply Carfax reports with all additional documents provided to us by our U.S / Canadian vendors. These reports are to be taken as guidance only as mileage discrepancies and history reports vary from the United States and Canada. An example of this is (a Carfax report in Canada states there is no accident damage, but a U.S.A report will state there has been accident damage) or (the U.S.A report states the mileage as miles, but the Canadian Carfax states kilometres on the mileage record or service record). Due to this, all imported vehicle lots have to be deemed as having previous accident damage recorded, present on the Carfax report or not, and all mileage is deemed incorrect as stated in (mileage / kilometres section 1, 2, and 3). Unless otherwise stated on the lot description or auctioneer remarks located at the bottom of all lot descriptions.

Jewellery, Diamonds & Watches Descriptions & Grades:

Jewellery Lot Description & Grades

Each jewellery lot has been described by the vendor and checked with an off-site expert jeweller to confirm the jewellery lot is indeed what the vendor has described it to be, i.e., (Gold, Silver, Platinum, White Gold and so on), also that the diamonds in such a lot, if any, are also natural diamonds unless stated otherwise.

Every lot of this nature is checked with no exceptions. Any damage to a jewellery lot (if any) will be stated under auctioneer notes. An example of this is if there is a clasp broken, cracks, loose or lost diamonds, and so on.

There will be three grades for jewellery lots:

(In New Condition)

(Used Condition)

(Broken Condition)

Diamond Lots

Every diamond lot has been described by the vendor and checked by an onsite and off-site diamond expert with a GIA Graduate Degree to maintain the highest accurate information on every diamond. All diamonds are loose and come in a protective case or diamond paper with a certified diamond certificate from either GIA, EGL, IGI, HRD, AGI, and any other major or minor gemmologist institutes. We do not auction conflict diamonds.

There will be two diamond grades for diamond lots:

●  Natural Diamond Lots

(Clarity Scale VS2, VS1, VVS2, VVS1, IF, FL) (Colour Scale Faint M, L, K, Near Colourless J, I, H, G, Colourless F, E, D) - These are natural diamond lots but can also be clarity-enhanced diamonds and also HPHT diamonds. These will come under the same category as natural as long as they are natural diamonds to begin with. As stated above, you can check the certificate of the diamond with the cert number provided, which is located on every diamond lot description, so you can conduct your own investigation prior to bidding.

●  (Clarity Scale SI1, SI2, I1, I2, I3) (Colour Scale Very Light N, O, P, Q, R, Light S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z) - These are natural diamond lots but can also be clarity-enhanced diamonds and also HPHT diamonds. These will come under the same category as natural as long as they are natural diamonds to begin with. As stated above, you can check the certificate of the diamond with the cert number provided, which is located on every diamond lot description, so you can conduct your own investigation prior to bidding.

Please also note that we place electronic copies of the certificates on each lot's photos and also the certificate numbers on the headline of each lot as well as the lot description. Electronic copies may not display all of the physical details held on the original certificate, and it is strongly advised you search the diamond certificate number with the grading lab's name so you conduct your own investigation prior to bidding and have all the information needed prior to bidding. This information is supplied and not withheld, so you can do this if needed without waiting for the information from the auctioneers.

Lab-Grown Diamonds

These will coincide with the clarity and colour scale of natural diamonds mentioned above; however, under the Diamond Type tab located on the lot description, this will state (Lab Grown). Please note that these are CVD, HTHP, and are both lab-grown diamonds. Even if the diamond is a CVD and has been treated by HPHT, then this is still classed as a lab-grown diamond. Please also note an electronic certificate will be available to view on the lot photos; however, there will also be the certificate number located on the lot's headline and also the lot descriptions. Electronic copies sometimes do not provide all the details that are found on the original certificate. It is strongly advised that you use the certificate number and search the grading lab's own website for the full information prior to bidding.

Please also note that we place electronic copies of the certificates on each lot's photos and also the certificate numbers on the headline of each lot as well as the lot description. Electronic copies may not display all of the physical details held on the original certificate, and it is strongly advised you search the diamond certificate number with the grading lab's name so you conduct your own investigation prior to bidding and have all the information needed prior to bidding. This information is supplied and not withheld, so you can do this if needed without waiting for the information from the auctioneers.

Watches

Every watch lot has been described by the vendor and checked by an onsite jewellery expert with knowledge of (Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Tudor, Bvlgari, Cartier) and also an off-site expert jeweller. All watches come with original boxes and paperwork unless otherwise stated under auctioneer notes.

There will be two grades for watch lots:

(In New Condition) - Lot is in new condition

(In Used Condition) - Showing slightly used wear, no loose or lost diamonds if any, in usable condition with no repairs needed.

Assessments

An assessment will be located under auctioneer notes. If an auctioneer gives an assessment on a diamond/jewellery lot, this will be an assessment based on a closely matched diamond or jewellery lot and is strictly for guidance purposes only. If a diamond lot or jewellery lot has an auctioneer's assessment, it is advised to arrange a viewing appointment or conduct your own research on the lot or arrange a professional in the diamond/jewellery sector to attend this appointment on your behalf prior to placing a bid.

Auctioneer Notes

Auctioneer notes can be located at the bottom of every item description. These notes are from the auctioneer addressing any major or minor facts about a lot/vehicle lot that he/she thinks the bidders should know about before placing a bid or choosing to select the buy it now option.

Lot Collection Details (Live Auction Lots)

(On Site)

Under auctioneer notes, it will state “On Site” if a lot is physically on-site at the collection facility. This means your lot can be booked in for collection as soon as your invoices are paid (Hammer Price Invoice 1/2) and (Buyer's Premium Invoice 2/2).

(In Transit) – (Collection from Vendors Address)

If a lot states that it is “In transit to our main collection facility” or “At a Vendor's Location”, this will state under auctioneer notes (In transit) or (At Vendor's Location). If this is the case, then the guidance for these lots is that they may take up to but not exceeding 30 working days (not including weekends) to be available for collection. In some cases, it will read under auctioneer notes “A collection date can be arranged past a certain date but it cannot be arranged before this certain date”.

(Imported Lots)

As we have locations in the USA and Canada, we do have vendors put forward lots to be sold through the UK auction, that they want to be sold in the United Kingdom. Once a lot is sold of this nature, the vendor will ship the lot to the United Kingdom. These lots will state under auctioneer notes “In Transit”. These vehicles can take up to but not exceeding 90 working days to be arranged for collection. In some cases, a date will be provided to book a collection after a certain date.

Example Photos

Sometimes a vendor will not be able to provide photos for a lot, and we will issue the listing with example photos. These lots will state under auctioneer notes example photos. In some cases, photos will be updated before a lot ends but only if the lot is received on-site in the time frame to do so.

Please note that we do not warrant any example photos to be the true likeness of the lot in question, and we are strictly using these for example purposes only. These can also be recognised by the number plate on a vehicle lot being blank with no numbers or letters showing.

Payment and Fees

If you have been successful in purchasing a lot in an auction, we will provide you with an invoice for the lot by email within 30 minutes of the end of the auction (or of you being successful in bidding a “Buy it now” price).

Unless otherwise stated, all invoices must be paid in full in cleared funds by 24 hours from the invoice date (including weekends) of the invoice being emailed to you, or before you collect the lot/arrange for delivery, whichever is the earlier.

Invoices are to be paid by BACS (no other form of payment will be accepted) to the account detailed below:

●  Name of account holder: Cambridgeshire Auctions Limited

●  Name of bank: Zempler

●  Account number: 12410922

●  Sort code: 08-71-99

 All lots carry a £295 plus vat Administration charge.

We will charge a commission equal to 16% of the purchase price, along with a 4% internet surcharge (plus VAT), and this will be set out in the invoice. VAT will be charged on the purchase price for lots that state (VAT Status + VAT @ 20%), and this will also be reflected in the invoice. Additionally, VAT-applicable lots will carry a 4% internet surcharge. Non-VAT lots will be subject to a 16% commission charge along with a 4% internet surcharge (plus VAT). Jewellery and diamond lots are charged a 16% commission plus VAT, along with a 4% internet surcharge (plus VAT).

To view these charges on the bidding platform on iBidder, BidSpotter, The Salesroom, Lotissimo, and Live Auctioneers, please refer to the additional charges tab.

If your bid is successful and you subsequently wish to cancel the contract, cancellation can take place subject to our written agreement and the written agreement of the seller. However, even if a contract is cancelled, we shall be entitled to charge our commission/buyers premium as outlined in the terms. Additionally, this allows the seller to re-auction the lot at no cost to them.

If your bid is successful and you fail to collect the lot or arrange for delivery in line with the collection terms, we will charge a storage fee of £100 + VAT per day. A one-off administration fee of £295 + VAT will also be charged on all lots, and storage fees will be invoiced to you.

If you fail to make a payment due to us by the due date, you shall pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until the payment is made, whether before or after judgement. Interest will accrue daily at the rates set out in the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 (as amended). A 5% late payment charge per day will also apply, calculated on the total invoice (hammer price and buyer's premium, excluding VAT), up to a maximum of 14 days. Additionally, a one-off administration charge of £295 + VAT will be applied at the beginning of late payment or storage charges. Storage is charged at £100 + VAT per day for all lots.

Failed or Declined Collections

Buyers are given a standard period of 5 days to collect their purchased items. If a collection is declined during this period, fees will be applied from the day following the declined collection, rather than from the end of the 5-day period:

• A one-time fee of £295 + VAT for the failed or declined collection.
• An additional storage fee of £100 + VAT per day until the item is collected.

Please note that once these fees are added to your account, they are non-negotiable and cannot be removed under any circumstances.

Collection and Delivery

You shall, at your own expense, take away the lot purchased (either personally or via a delivery company) no later than five working days (a working day including Saturdays, Sundays, or public holidays in England) after the end of the auction, but not before payment in full of the purchase price and any other monies owed to us under these terms in relation to the lot. You shall be responsible for any removal, storage, and insurance charges on any vehicle not taken away within the specified time limits. Time for collection is of the essence.

You will be responsible for loss or damage (i.e., risk) to the vehicle lots purchased from the time that the auction ends (or when a bid for a “Buy it now” price has been accepted), and neither we nor our servants or agents shall afterwards be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, while any vehicle is in our custody or under our control. Accordingly, we recommend that you arrange for appropriate insurance for the vehicle lot. This includes mechanical issues developed while the vehicle lot is on-site.

We can arrange for any vehicle lots purchased to be delivered to you. Please contact us directly to organise delivery. We will charge you for delivery, and the charge will be invoiced accordingly. The exact charge will depend on the distance from the vehicle’s location to the delivery address and will be agreed upon when you contact us. If you would like any vehicle to be delivered, please get in touch with us. Any contract for the delivery will be between you and the delivery company; neither we nor the seller will be a party to that contract, nor will we have any liability regarding it. Additionally, neither we, the seller, nor our or their agents will be responsible for any damage caused to the vehicle by the delivery company or its agents at any time.

You shall be responsible for complying with all legal requirements as to the construction and use of any vehicle purchased and for obtaining all certificates, permits or other authorisations necessary before that vehicle can be used on any road.

You can only collect your lot after having made an appointment with us. You will need to bring proof of payment with you and also be wearing a high-vis jacket. While on-site, you agree to comply with any relevant health and safety procedures and any reasonable directions given by us or our agents or servants.

You agree that if a vehicle is unroadworthy or does not have proper documentation to legally allow it to be driven, you will not take it away from the collection point until these matters have been properly dealt with by you. It is up to the bidder to make sure the vehicle lot is roadworthy before taking the vehicle off-site.

If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these terms, or if there is any other breach of these terms (in relation to payment of an outstanding sum or otherwise), we, as the agents of the seller (or on our own behalf, as applicable) shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies, that is to say:

(i) To proceed against you for damages for breach of contract, which may include commencing legal proceedings against you for the recovery of monies owed (you may also be liable for our legal fees for pursuing the monies);

(ii) To proceed against you for the debt due under the contract, which may include commencing legal proceedings against you for the recovery of monies owed (you may also be liable for our legal fees for pursuing the monies); The actions we take to reclaim monies owed to Cambridgeshire Auctions Limited are means by a statutory demand made after missing a payment deadline. The statutory demand will be issued and sent by post, and the copy of the statutory demand by email. The email will have a PDF file attached with the (Statutory Demand). The mailed statutory demand will be sent to the address/addresses stated on your bidder's account through i-bidder.com, bidspotter.co.uk, TheSalesroom.com, LiveAuctioneers.com, and lottissimo.com. Once the statutory demand has been issued, you will have twenty-one (21) days to pay the outstanding monies owed to Cambridgeshire Auctions Limited. Failing this, bankruptcy proceedings will be issued to the bidder in both personal and business names given on the bidder's account.

(iii) To rescind the sale of that or any other vehicle sold to you at the same or any other auction;

(iv) To resell the lot or cause it to be resold by public auction or private sale. You shall then be responsible for paying any resulting deficiency in the purchase price from the first auction, along with our commission and any other sums due under these terms, after deducting any part payment and adding resale costs. Any surplus will belong to the seller unless the title to the vehicle has already passed to you, in which case the surplus shall belong to and be paid to you. 

(v) To remove, store (either at our premises or elsewhere), and insure the vehicle at your expense;

(vi) To charge interest on any overdue amounts in accordance with the applicable terms. 

(vii) To retain that or any other lot sold to you at the same or any other auction and release it only after full payment of the purchase price, our commission, and any other sums due to us under these terms.

(viii) To proceed against you for damages for breach of these terms or to pursue any debt owed under these terms, including but not limited to non-payment of our commission. This may include commencing legal proceedings for the recovery of monies owed, and you may also be liable for our legal fees incurred in pursuing those monies.
