Global Salvage Buyer does not guarantee that any asset sold can be legally registered in any state or country, and the Member accepts all risks associated with variations in asset title and registration laws between states, provinces, and countries that may negatively impact the marketability of assets purchased at Global Salvage Buyer.

C. Minimum Bids, Bid to Be Approved, and Counter Bidding.

If (a) the seller designates an asset as “Needs approval” or (b) the seller designates a Minimum Bid for an asset and the high bid in the auction is less than the Minimum Bid amount, then the asset will not be released to the Member with the high bid unless and until the seller has notified Global Salvage Buyer of its acceptance of the bid. The seller has until 8 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the next business day following the day of the auction to notify Global Salvage Buyer of such acceptance.

F. Sealed Bids.

Sealed Bid assets are still in the seller’s possession at the time of bidding and may only be inspected using the images or the Quick Inpspect AR inspections available on Global Salvage Buyer’ websites. Assets may not be viewed or inspected with Quick Inspect AR or any other means after auctions end in order to preserve asset.The location of the facility where the asset and title may be picked up by the high bidder will appear in the online asset listing.

Once submitted, bids can be increased, but cannot be lowered or retracted.
Global Salvage Buyer will notify Members whether a bid has been accepted by the seller within three business days after the listed bidding period ends.
If a Member’s bid has been accepted, the Member is obligated to purchase the asset.

H. Bids Entered. Once a bid has been submitted, it cannot be retracted, deleted, or canceled.

I. Risk of Loss. Each Member takes full responsibility and assumes all risk of loss for all assets purchased from the time Global Salvage Buyer accepts the Member’s bid. From and after acceptance of the Member’s bid (for assets located at a Global Salvage Buyer facility or other facilities), the Member acknowledges that Global Salvage Buyer is acting as bailee of the Member’s asset until such time as the asset is removed from Global Salvage Buyer’ premises or other facilities by the Member or the Member’s agent or representative. The Member agrees that under the terms of the bailment, (1) Global Salvage Buyer shall not be responsible for damage to or loss of the asset or parts thereof due to operational procedures in place at all Global Salvage Buyer facilities or other facilities, from acts of theft or vandalism, or acts of God; (2) Global Salvage Buyer shall only be responsible for damage to or loss of the asset or parts thereof caused by the direct willful or grossly negligent act or omission of Global Salvage Buyer; and (3) Global Salvage Buyer shall not be responsible for any claim of damage made after the asset is sold or has left Global Salvage Buyer’ premises or other facilities, regardless of whether the Member or any agent, employee, or other representative on the Member’s behalf picks up the asset.

The Member agrees to comply, and to cause its agents and representatives to comply, with all applicable laws and regulations when removing an asset from a Global Salvage Buyer facility or other facilities, including properly loading and securing all assets for safe travel.

Once an asset is paid it is accepted AS-IS, and under no circumstances will Global Salvage Buyer be liable for subsequent claims of damage or loss of any kind or nature whatsoever. In the event Global Salvage Buyer is responsible, damages shall be limited to the lesser of (i) the amount of the diminution in value of the asset as reasonably estimated by Global Salvage Buyer or (ii) the auction sale price (in which case the Member shall return the asset to Global Salvage Buyer). Global Salvage Buyer may, in its sole discretion, resell the asset at a Global Salvage Buyer sale, and the difference between the original sale price and the resale price shall be conclusive as to the amount of diminution of value, if any.

J. Offsite Sales. Offsite Sales assets will be available for pick up at the designated Global Salvage Buyer facility or offsite address indicated. Standard Global Salvage Buyer pickup requirements and storage rates apply to assets sold from offsite sale locations. If the Member fails to pick up or arrange payment with facility of an offsite asset within six (6) days of sale, the asset may, at Global Salvage Buyer’ sole discretion, be moved from the offsite sale location to one of Global Salvage Buyer’ other facilities, and if the asset has been moved, the Member will be responsible for towing charges from the offsite location to Global Salvage Buyer’ new choice of facility, plus additional storage charges that may accrue from that day onward, for up to 30 days. After the asset has been at Global Salvage Buyer’ new location for 30 days and the towing and storage charges have not been paid, the asset will be considered abandoned and Global Salvage Buyer will process the asset according to applicable law.

L. Timely Removal or Facility Payment arrangement of Purchased Assets. Assets purchased and not removed from Global Salvage Buyer parking, storage, partner storage, staging areas, temporary locations or loading facilities by 3 p.m. (local time at the facility) will need be at the discretion of the facility to offer service after that time.

III. ASSET EXPORTS

A. Exporting Purchased Assets. The following provisions govern all transactions in which a Member wherever located, purchases an asset from or through any Global Salvage Buyer facility in the U.S. and then transports the asset out of the U.S. (“Asset Export Transactions”):

All Asset Export Transactions are subject to U.S. export laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Foreign Trade Regulations (the “FTR”) and the Export Administration Regulations (the “EAR”). Diversion contrary to U.S. law is prohibited. All Members agree not to export, re-export or permit the re-export of the purchased asset to a restricted and/or embargoed country anywhere listed by the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of Commerce, or the U.S. Department of Treasury and/or individuals on any denied/debarred party list of the U.S. government. All Members expressly agree to comply with all controls of general applicability under the EAR General Prohibitions found at 15 CFR Part 736.

Under the FTR, a Member that is a U.S. entity and that purchases an asset from or through a Global Salvage Buyer facility in the United States will be the U.S. Principal Party in Interest (USPPI) with respect to the export of that asset and will be responsible for ensuring compliance with U.S. export reporting requirements, including the filing of Electronic Export Information (EEI). All Members agree that Global Salvage Buyer will not be identified as a party to an export transaction in any EEI filing in such cases.

If a Member outside the United States purchases an asset from or through a Global Salvage Buyer facility in the United States for export to a foreign location, the purchase will be a “Routed Export Transaction” under the FTR. In such transactions, the Member will be the Foreign Principal Party in Interest (the “FPPI”), and the Member agrees to authorize a U.S. forwarding agent (the “Authorized Agent”) to file EEI on the Member’s behalf and to facilitate the export of the asset. Global Salvage Buyer may be identified as the USPPI only in these Routed Export Transactions, and its legal responsibility under the FTR is limited to providing certain information to the Member’s Authorized Agent to assist the Authorized Agent in its preparation of the EEI

In all Routed Export Transactions, the Member expressly agrees to assume responsibility for determining any licensing requirements under the EAR and for obtaining any license authority for the purchased asset. This Section III of the Terms and Conditions serves as the Member’s writing within the meaning of 15 CFR § 758.3(b) wherein the Member as FPPI expressly agrees to assume these responsibilities and agrees that the Member’s U.S. Authorized Agent will be the “exporter” for EAR purposes.

B. Shipping Referral Program. Global Salvage Buyer offers an international shipping services referral program (the “Program”) whereby Members may contract directly with certain freight forwarders to purchase international shipping services for assets purchased in the U.S. from globalsalvagesales.com. If a Member purchases international shipping services from one of these freight forwarders, then the freight forwarder will act as the Authorized Agent for the Asset Export Transaction and the Member will abide by Section A above.

C. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. All Members are subject to the provisions of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (“FCPA”), which prohibits the making of corrupt payments. Under the FCPA, it is unlawful to pay or to offer to pay anything of value to foreign government officials, or employees, or political parties or candidates, or to persons or entities that will offer or give such payments to any of the foregoing in order to obtain or retain business or to secure an improper commercial advantage. Members engaging in Asset Export Transactions shall not take actions, or permit actions to be taken on their behalf, which would constitute a violation under the FCPA.

D. Import Requirements. The Member shall act as “importer of record” or other responsible party (as the case may be) of each asset under all import laws of the country of destination and port of discharge and shall be solely responsible for compliance with all import requirements of the country of destination and port of discharge, including the preparation and filing of all required documentation with applicable government authorities, the payment of all import fees, duties, taxes, and any other charges payable upon import of an asset, and any required customs inspection and proof of emissions compliance.

Members must not remove any items, including any envelopes or paperwork, inside an asset and must alert Global Salvage Buyer to these items and allow Global Salvage Buyer to retrieve them. Anyone caught stealing or damaging assets will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This includes theft of or damage to any items inside an asset or to keys. A $500 reward will be paid to anyone providing information leading to the arrest and conviction of individuals stealing or damaging assets at Global Salvage Buyer facilities or contracted facilities.

If such damages occur, GSB will use Member deposit and credit card to collect payment for such damages.

H. Membership Revocation. Global Salvage Buyer reserves the right to inactivate, suspend, or revoke a Member’s account for any reason, in its sole and absolute discretion.

I. Release of Liability and Indemnification. Members and their visitors irrevocably and unconditionally waive and release their rights (if any) to recover from Global Salvage Buyer, its directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, subsidiaries, partners, contractors, storage facilities, and affiliates, and asset sellers (“Global Salvage Buyer Indemnitees”) any and all damages, losses, liabilities, costs, expenses, or claims, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, or foreseen or unforeseen, which may arise from or be related to bodily injury, property damage, or other loss which occurs on Global Salvage Buyer premises or any other premise that assets are located. Members or members agents, representatives who view assets physically  in person agree to hold GSB harmless from injuries resulting in viewing, boarding or being in the vicinity of assets.  Members agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Global Salvage Buyer Indemnitees harmless from any and all damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from claims made by the Member and the Member’s visitors arising from or related to: 1) bodily injury or property damage occurring on Global Salvage Buyer premises or contracted premises, 2) the Member’s failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, 3) the Member’s sale or transfer of assets to third parties, and 4) claims made against Global Salvage Buyer Indemnitees by the Member’s visitors, agents, employees, or customers.

Members and visitors who are California residents waive California Civil Code §1542, which reads: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

J. Marketing and Promotional Materials. Members agree they have affirmatively requested to receive marketing and promotional materials via mail, email, push email, facsimile, app, social media, text message, or other then-current methods of communication.

V. FEES, PAYMENT, AND DELIVERIES

A. Fees. All Members agree to pay the buyer and seller fees and other fees applicable to each asset purchase or sale. The current fee schedules for buyers may be accessed by registered Members from the “My Account” page of Global Salvage Buyer’ websites or visible on the detail page. Member buy and sell fees apply to all items purchased or sold at a Global Salvage Buyer sale, including miscellaneous salvage items sold as “Other Goods.” All fees are subject to change without prior notice. The Member is solely responsible for ascertaining applicable fees prior to bidding on an asset.

B. Payment.

Payment for assets and fees may be made by WIRE TRANSFER ONLY. Buyer has 5 days after sale date to send confirmation of wire transfer. If full payment is not received by the end of 5th day then GSB reserves the right to sell asset to the second highest bidder. At this time the Member forfeits all rights and deposits associated with said asset.
Commencing 30 days after the sale date, a finance charge in an amount equal to the greater of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) or the maximum allowed by law will be charged on any unpaid balance until payment in full is received by Global Salvage Buyer.
A security deposit of $500 or 5% of the bid amount (whichever is greater) is required to bid on all assets. Global Salvage Buyer will retain this deposit as security against unpaid invoices and the deposit will be forfeited in the event the buyer is the high bidder and does not pay the balance according to the terms of the sale. Global Salvage Buyer will return the deposit upon the Member’s request if all invoices have been paid, but the Member’s account will remain suspended. In the event the Member fails to pay any invoice and the debt is past due, Global Salvage Buyer will use the security deposit to satisfy the debt.
