7. Bidlease ROLE
Bidlease allows third-party sellers to list and sell their assets using the Bidlease Services. Bidlease does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, offer or deliver listings or the assets contained therein. The relevant seller is indicated on the respective listing page. While Bidlease helps facilitate transactions that are carried out on the Website, Bidlease is neither the buyer nor the seller on the seller’s assets.

Bidlease provides an avenue for sellers and buyers to negotiate and complete transactions. Accordingly, the contract formed at the completion of the sale for these third-party assets is solely between the buyer and seller. Bidlease is not a party to this contract nor assumes any responsibility arising out of or in connection with it nor it is the seller’s agent. The seller is responsible for the sale of their assets and for dealing with any buyer claims or any other issue arising out of or in connection with the contract between the buyer and seller.

Bidlease is not responsible for:

(a) the existence, quality, suitability of legality of a listed asset;
(b) the truth, accuracy or completeness of the information contained in a listing;
(c) the future performance of a listed asset;
(d) the performance or conduct of a buyer or seller or third-party on the Website; and/or
(e) the quality, suitability or ability of a third party which provides goods or services to Bidlease or to a buyer or seller.

Your decision to purchase a listed asset shall be based solely on your own investigation and that of your legal, tax and other advisors. You accept sole responsibility for examining and investigating an asset and all information in a listing. This includes, but is not limited to, associated liabilities, financial statements, tax returns and any other facts or information which may impact your decision to purchase that listed asset and the price you are willing to pay. You understand that Bidlease may display only a summary description of a listed asset.

To help facilitate a safe, secure transaction and to preserve the integrity of the Bidlease Services, we make available a template letter of intent and sale contract for use by buyers and sellers. You acknowledge that you use these documents at your own risk. You agree that Bidlease has not in any way provided legal or financial advice by providing these documents or made representations or warranties that they are suitable for your requirements or needs and may not be appropriate or suitable to the sale or purchase of a particular asset. Bidlease recommends all parties seek their own independent legal advice in relation to the documents.

8. LISTING RULES
The following assets may be listed for sale on Bidlease:

(a) all detail and reference to files contained in a website or an application, including but not limited to, the HTML, the code base, other source code, logos, images, music, animation, films and other media, licenses and other works associated with the website or the application;
(b) any rights and obligations under or in relation to an agreement with a third party relating to assets which may include, but is not limited to hosting agreements, payment provider agreements, affiliate agreements and seller agreements;

(f) any other documented asset including inventory or other agreement critical to the sale and
ongoing concern of a business, including legal agreements, employment agreement, leasing agreements and other agreements; and
(g) any other particulars specified as being sold as part of a listing.

For the avoidance of doubt, Bidlease does not promote, encourage or facilitate the sale of securities using Bidlease Services.

When you create a listing, you will be asked to provide complete and accurate information about your asset, including, but not limited to a business description and current and historical financial data. You are responsible for your listing and keeping your listing information up to date at all times. You will also be asked to set an asking price for your asset/s, either a set price in the case of a fixed-price listing or a starting price, reserve price, and optional buy it now price, in the case of an auction-format listing. Please be aware that Bidlease may, in its sole discretion, prevent you from listing your asset for sale, or suspend an existing listing, if it considers that a price set is unreasonable or not aligned with market value.

You warrant and represent to Bidlease and to each buyer that:

(a) you own the asset or are entitled to sell the asset;
(b) you are the owner of all intellectual property rights, including but not limited to copyright, patent, trademark, designs whether registered or not and throughout the world and all other rights, title and interest in the asset,
(c) the asset is transferable to a buyer; and
(d) any and all agreements with third parties are transferable to the Buyer.

You must not create a listing for an asset which is:

(a) is obscene, vulgar and/or deemed by Bidlease to be offensive;
(b) contains material which infringes the rights of a third party or which assists others to infringe the rights of a third party;
(c) is engaged in activities which contravenes law of any territory; or
(d) Bidlease deems inappropriate or in breach of these Terms.

9. LISTING TYPES
Bidlease enables two kinds of listings — make offer listings and fixed-price listings.

With a fixed price-listing, any buyer can offer to purchase the asset contained in a listing. An offer must be placed on the listing. A seller can accept, reject or counter any offer. If you are a buyer and have placed an offer, you acknowledge and agree that should the seller accept that offer, you are committing to purchase the asset and may be required to pay for it. If you are a seller and have accepted an offer, you acknowledge and agree that you are committing to sell the listed asset to the buyer.

With an make offer listing, a seller will accept bids from buyers for a predetermined amount of time — generally 30 days. For a bid to be valid, it must be higher than the starting price or then-current bid. At the end, the asset subject to the offer is at the sole decision of the seller, whether to accept such an offer or not.  

For the avoidance of doubt, Bidlease is simply a listing service. 

A listing may also show a ‘buy it now’ button with a price listed next to it. A buyer may purchase a listed asset simply by clicking the ‘buy it now’ button, provided it is accepted by the seller. By clicking ‘buy it now,’ a buyer commits to buying the listed asset.
