Such personal properties must be entered into a catalogue and offered for sale through an auction administered by Seller using the Platform (the auction administered on the Platform, the "Auction"; the catalogue, including draft, final and updated versions of such catalogue, the"Catalogue"; the personal properties entered into the Catalogue as part of an Auction, the "Goods").

(b) Seller must conduct each Auction in accordance with the Auction Rules. The Order Form may specify additional details, rules, limitations, and additional services, which shall govern the Auction.

(d) The Platform will require Seller to set a period during which Sold Goods must be picked up by the Buyers (the "Pickup Window") and the location at which the Sold Goods must be picked up (the "Pickup Location"). If a Buyer is unable to or fails to pickup the Sold Goods during the Pickup Window, Seller, in its sole discretion but subject to Section 2.3(i), may (or must in the case of Section 2.3(i)) agree to an alternate pickup time (the "Alternate Pickup Window") and if applicable, an alternate pickup location (the "Alternate Pickup Location"), and such Buyer will be charged a fee as set out in Section 3.2. If an Alternate Pickup Window and/or Alternate Pickup Location are not agreed, Buyer will be refunded for the applicable Sold Goods and charged a fee as set out in Section 3.2.

(e) Seller may permit its Personnel to access and use the Platform as necessary to conduct the Auction and by doing so, any reference to "Seller" shall include reference to such Personnel. Seller shall ensure that its Personnel comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and if Seller's Personnel is no longer authorized to access or conduct the Auction, it is the responsibility of Seller to promptly remove such Personnel's access to the Auction. Any actions and omissions of Seller's Personnel, including those activities that occur in their accounts, shall be the responsibility of Seller.

(f) If Seller has contracted a service provider to run the Auction on behalf of the Seller (such service provider, the "Seller Partner"), Seller Partner may accept the Order Form on behalf of the Seller; provided that, Seller Partner represents and warrants that it has the authority to accept the Order Form on behalf of the Seller and to bind the Seller to this Agreement.

(i) If Seller Partner accepts the Order Form on behalf of the Seller, any reference to "Seller" shall include Seller Partner where appropriate (including, for clarity, Article 5, Article 7, Article 8 and Sections 2.3, 2.4) and, unless expressly agreed to otherwise by Maxsold in writing, Seller and Seller Partner shall be jointly and severally responsible and liable for ensuring that the Auction and the use of the Platform are in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement.

(ii) If Seller accepts the Order Form but delegates all or part of its obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement to its Seller Partner, Seller shall ensure that its Seller Partner complies with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any violation thereof shall be the responsibility of Seller.

(g) If Seller has contracted Maxsold as its agent for the limited purpose of running the Auction as specified in the Order Form (such services, the "Managed Services"), Maxsold shall provide the Managed Services as described in Order Form and shall conduct the Auction in accordance with the Auction Rules. However, for Managed Services where Maxsold is providing pickup services, Section 2.3(i) shall not apply.

(h) Except for enabling Seller's access to and use of the Platform in connection with the Auction, and Managed Services or other services set out in an Order Form, if any, Maxsold does not provide Seller with any other services (such services provided by Maxsold, the"Services"). No right to reproduce, modify, distribute or any other right to the Platform is hereby provided and except as specifically provided herein, Maxsold retains all right, title and interest in the Platform.

(b) Maxsold shall settle to Seller funds received from Buyers for the Sold Goods, less any applicable Maxsold Fees, Processing Costs and other liabilities of Seller to Maxsold under this Agreement (collectively, the "Seller Liabilities"). Maxsold will not settle the funds of Sold Goods to any recipient other than Seller or Seller Partner, as applicable.

(c) Seller shall give the Buyer full credit and a release for every payment as of when Maxsold has received the funds of Sold Goods and Buyer shall not have reduced credit with Seller on account of Seller Liabilities that Maxsold may deduct from settlements to Seller. Buyer is a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to the release.

(d) Maxsold is not a bank, money transmitter or other money services business. Maxsold performs as a payment processor for bills of the Seller and acts as agent of Seller in the receipt of payments by Buyers for Sold Goods pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
