Bidding, Negotiation, Result

- 2. UNET personnel may try to assist CUSTOMER to place bids or late bids by non-official methods such as phone calls, SMS, text, and personal emails to UNET personal, chat, mobile phone application’s text or voice systems and so on. UNET will try its best to successfully place these BIDs, but it is not responsible for any mistake or misunderstanding. In these non-official methods, UNET is not responsible if the BID wasn’t able to be placed on time. In these cases UNET expects the CUSTOMER to be checking online and to contact UNET immediately if there is any mistake or misunderstanding. UNET is free to reject any of these non-official methods of bidding at any time.
- 3. UNET will receive CUSTOMER maximum offer for an ITEM and BID on CUSTOMER behalf directly at the Auction House bidding system. UNET is not responsible in case of a failure at the Auction House bidding system, a failure with the network or failure due to any event of force majeure.

- 5. If CUSTOMER is not sure about the result of a particular BID, CUSTOMER should contact UNET to confirm the result status.
- 6. If the result shows “Lost” it means ITEM was won by a different bidder. “Unsold” means that the seller decided that the maximum offered amount was not enough and didn’t accept to sell. “Won” means the CUSTOMER has successfully won the auction of that particular ITEM. These results may change or be updated later by UNET. Refer to article 6.4.
- 7. CUSTOMER can request to UNET to apply to negotiate for ITEMs that ended “Unsold”. Depending on the time of the application the ITEM could be sold already.
- 8. Once applied to negotiation, the application cannot be canceled. The CUSTOMER must have this in mind at the time of applying.
- 9. UNET can decide to automatically negotiate some ITEMs which were unsold under the CUSTOMER maximum BID offer. However, UNET also may not negotiate automatically for unsold ITEMs depending on its capacity on a given day or depending on how the BIDs grouping is arranged.
- 10. Negotiation results may take a long time depending on the Auction House and the seller. Sometimes depending on the seller's decision, the seller may not accept the negotiation application or reject it.
- 11. Once a BID remaining time shows “End”, the BID cannot be modified. For any requested change after the remaining time shows “End”, UNET will try its best, but can not be held responsible for it. Also, once the remaining time shows “End”, the BID cannot be canceled. UNET can make its best effort to cancel, but can not be responsible.
- 12. CUSTOMER must check their bidding list at all times. CUSTOMER must check for updates in the bidding list during the bidding day and also confirm any other update on the day after the auction. UNET will always try its best to keep this bidding list updated but also requires the CUSTOMER cooperation to keep vigilance of its own results list.
- 13. If more than one CUSTOMER is bidding for the same ITEM at UNET, UNET will only place a BID for the highest BID (highest budget CUSTOMER). A message alerting of this situation ( “Important” ) will automatically show on the lower budget CUSTOMER’s bidding list. In some cases, due to the highest budget CUSTOMER grouping arrangement or sudden cancellation of the BID by this highest budget CUSTOMER, other CUSTOMER with a lower budget may end up winning the ITEM. CUSTOMER should be aware of this situation and make sure to inform UNET if they wish to cancel a BID in order to avoid this situation.
- 14. Depending on the auction house, it may or may not be possible to place the exact BID as the one the CUSTOMER entered as the maximum BID on the WEBSITE. Therefore, UNET will do its best to not BID over the maximum BID amount. Nevertheless, UNIT may overbid up to 20,000 JPY in some cases in order not to lose the auction or due to auction house rules or bidding conditions which makes it impossible to avoid overbidding. CUSTOMER agrees to accept overbids of up to 20,000 JPY. This is non-negotiable and CUSTOMER should be aware at the time of placing a BID.
- 15. If there is any point on the inspection sheet which the CUSTOMER has doubts or questions about, CUSTOMER should contact UNET before placing a BID. UNET is not responsible for mistakes or misunderstandings made by CUSTOMER upon reading an ITEM inspection sheet.

- 18. UNET does not provide originals or copies of any private document from its service and product providers. This makes reference to the auction house’s invoices, transportation company's invoices, shipping company's invoices, and so on.
