6.  Description of BiggerBidder Services. 

 

(a) Marketplace/Auctions

 

In connection with providing the BiggerBidder Services to customers, BiggerBidder™ operates an online marketplace (the “Marketplace”) that enables certain Members (“Buyers”) to view, bid on and purchase certain products and/or services (collectively, “Products”) as made available by other Members and certain third parties (collectively, “Sellers”).  If you desire to become a Seller, you must first agree to the BiggerBidder Seller Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference. For a copy of the BiggerBidder Seller Agreement, please Click Here.  Where you qualify as a Seller, you shall be able to design your own personalized storefront, conduct auctions and otherwise offer for sale your Products through such storefront.

 

Each Product auctioned through the Marketplace is auctioned for a pre-designated auction period (“Auction Period”), but each such Auction Period is subject to extension where prospective Buyers place bids (“Bids”) on the subject Product during the last twenty (20) seconds of the applicable Auction Period (the “Countdown Period”).  The Bids placed for all auctions shall be in increments of One Cent ($0.01), Five Cents ($0.05) or Ten Cents ($0.10), depending on the pre-determined rules applicable to each auction (“Bidding Increment”).  Each time a prospective Buyer places a Bid on a Product during the Countdown Period, an extra twenty (20) seconds is added to that Product’s Auction Period, and the bidding price of the Product will be increased by the applicable Bidding Increment. 

 

An auction ends when the Auction Period clock reaches zero.  Other than where there is a Reserve Price (as defined below), the auction winner (the “Winner”) is the last member to place a Bid, as determined solely by BiggerBidder’s™ records.  UPON THE END OF AN AUCTION, ALL BIDS USED ON THAT AUCTION, BY NON-WINNER(S), WILL EXPIRE AND WILL NOT BE CREDITED OR REFUNDED TO THE RESPECTIVE BIDDERS.  WINNERS WILL HAVE THE BIDS PLACED DURING THE WINNING AUCTION RETURNED TO THEM. Winners are required to pay the final Bid price, plus any applicable shipping and handling charges (together, the “Total Price”).  In order to facilitate communication regarding payment and shipment, the email address of each Winner will be made available to the applicable Seller whose Product was featured in the subject auction, and the e-mail address of that Seller shall be made available to the Winner 

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither they Winner nor the Seller shall be permitted to use the other party’s e-mail address for commercial purposes, or may share the other party’s e-mail address with any third party for any purpose whatsoever.Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement, BiggerBidder™ is not an auctioneer.  Although the Site may be referred to as an online auction website, it is important to realize that BiggerBidder™ is not a traditional auctioneer and, as such, is not subject to applicable state and federal auctioneer law. 

 

 

You understand and agree that BiggerBidder™ is not responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for you inability to place a Bid on an applicable Product.  You understand and agree that BiggerBidder™ is not responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for your inability to use the BiggerBidder Services, including the Marketplace, or for any dispute between you and any Seller, manufacturer or distributor.  BiggerBidder™ shall not be liable to you or any third party for any claim in connection with any of the Products offered by any Seller, manufacturer or distributor.


 

(b) Bidding Rules



By placing a Bid on a Product, you are making a legally binding offer to purchase that Product at the then existing Total Price.  ONCE A BID IS USED, IT CANNOT BE CANCELLED OR REFUNDED.  In the event that you are a Winner, you hereby agree to complete the transaction and purchase the Product for the Total Price.  Failure to complete the transaction and purchase the Product for the Total Price shall constitute breach of the Agreement, render you liable for all damages arising therefrom, result in the forfeiture of your right to purchase the applicable Product, may result in the immediate termination of your Member Account and all Bids used to win that product shall expire and be non-refundable.

 

YOU ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED FROM PLACING BIDS, OR CAUSING BIDS TO BE PLACED, ON ANY PRODUCT FOR THE PURPOSE OF ARTIFICIALLY INCREASING BIDDING PRICES, MANIPULATING THE BIDDING PROCESS OR INFLUENCING MEMBER BEHAVIOR.



(c) Reserve Price Auctions



In some cases, auctions will have a pre-determined minimum bid price at which the Seller is willing to sell the applicable Product (“Reserve Price”).  The Reserve Price will not be known to the prospective Buyers in advance, however, prospective Buyers will be notified in advance that an auction has a Reserve Price associated with the subject Product.  Where there is a Reserve Price in effect for a given auction, and the eventual Winner does not place a Bid that is equal to or greater than the Reserve Price, BiggerBidder™ shall offer the Winner the opportunity to purchase the Product at the Reserve Price.  Where the Winner refuses to purchase the Product at the Reserve Price, the Bids that the Winner placed in connection with that auction shall be refunded in full, and BiggerBidder™ shall offer the prospective Buyer that placed the second highest Bid in that auction (“First Runner Up”) the opportunity to purchase the Product at the Reserve Price.  Where the First Runner Up refuses to purchase the Product at the Reserve Price, the Bids that the First Runner Up placed in connection with that auction shall be refunded in full, and BiggerBidder™ shall offer the prospective Buyer that placed the third highest Bid in that auction (“Second Runner Up”) the opportunity to purchase the Product at the Reserve Price.  Where the Second Runner Up refuses to purchase the Product at the Reserve Price, the Bids that the First Runner Up placed in connection with that auction shall be refunded in full.  No other Bids will be refunded if an auction fails to reach the Reserve Price.



(d) Auto-Bidder



The automatic Bidder tool made available to prospective Buyers on the Site (“Auto-Bidder”) automatically places Bids on your behalf up to the maximum Bid amount set by you in advance (the “Maximum Bid”).  Your use of the Auto-Bidder constitutes a legally binding offer by you to purchase the applicable Product for an amount up to and including the Maximum Bid.  BIDS PLACED BY AUTO-BIDDER MAY NOT BE CANCELLED ONCE THE APPLICABLE AUCTION BEGINS AND SUCH BIDS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.  YOU ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED FROM USING ANY BIDDING SOFTWARE OR AUTOMATED BIDDING MECHANISM OTHER THAN THE AUTO-BIDDER OR OTHER SOFTWARE MADE AVAILABLE BY BIGGERBIDDER™.  You understand and agree that BiggerBidder™ is not responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for your inability to use the Auto-Bidder.


(e) Purchase; Payment



In the event that you are a Winner, you will be notified by confirmation page, email or other mechanism that you have won the applicable auction, and you will be instructed to complete the transaction and purchase the Product for the Total Price.  You must remit payment of the Total Price to the applicable Seller within seventy-two (72) hours of the end of the applicable Auction Period via PayPal® or such other payment method specified on the Site for that auction.  FAILURE TO REMIT PAYMENT TO THE APPLICABLE SELLER WITHIN THAT SEVENTY-TWO (72) HOUR TIME PERIOD WILL RESULT IN THE FORFEITURE OF YOUR RIGHT TO PURCHASE THE APPLICABLE PRODUCT, AND ALL BIDS USED TO WIN THAT PRODUCT SHALL EXPIRE AND BE NON-REFUNDABLE.  All payments must be made in United States currency. 



(f) Products/Shipping



The Products are provided by the Sellers in all instances, and not BiggerBidder™.  The Products contain descriptions that are provided directly by the Sellers, manufacturers or distributors of such Products.  BiggerBidder™ does not represent or warrant that the descriptions of such Products are accurate or complete.  As a result, BiggerBidder™ has no control over: (i) the quality, safety or legality of the Products listed; (ii) the truth or accuracy of the listings; and/or (iii) the ability of the applicable Seller to sell the items listed.  Do not assume that the offer, sale, purchase, export or import of any item is valid and legal simply because it is listed on the Site.  You accept sole responsibility for the legality of your actions under laws applying to you.

 

Unless otherwise stated at the time of the auction, Products will be shipped by the applicable Seller within seventy-two (72) hours of that Seller’s receipt of payment of the Total Price.  Delivery will be made by the Seller to the mailing address associated with your Account, or provided by you to the Seller via e-mail.  YOU BEAR THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ENSURING THAT YOUR ADDRESS ON FILE WITH BIGGERBIDDER™ IS ACCURATE AND CURRENT.


 

(g)  Suspension or Termination of an Auction


 

BiggerBidder™ reserves the right to pause, extend and/or cancel any auction where BiggerBidder™ determines that: (i) there has been fraud committed in connection with the auction in question; (ii) the Site and/or software applicable to the auction are malfunctioning or otherwise inoperable; or (iii) the auction, or the activities of the applicable Sellers and/or prospective Buyers, is/are in violation of the Agreement.  BiggerBidder™ shall refund the Bids to any prospective Buyers where BiggerBidder™ terminates an auction; other than to those prospective Buyer(s) that BiggerBidder™ determines committed fraud or violated the Agreement in any way.


 

(h) Purchasing/Obtaining Bids


 

Before you can bid on a Product and use the Marketplace as a prospective Buyer, you must either obtain Bids for free through one of our promotional offers (as offered from time to time), or purchase Bids in packs of twenty (20), fifty (50), one hundred (100) or such other amount offered (collectively, “Bid Packs”) for the then current Bid Pack price, as listed on the Site or in other applicable marketing material. With Biggerbidder.net’s current promotion, you will be billed $89.95 for 132 bids, plus an additional 50 bonus bids.  All charges are payable in United States currency, and such amounts will appear on the statement of the credit card or debit card that you used during registration (“Active Credit Card”) as “biggerbidder.com.”  Failure to use the Bids and/or BiggerBidder Services does not constitute a basis for refusing to pay any of the associated charges.  Your Account may be deactivated, and access to the Site, Marketplace and BiggerBidder Services denied, for non-payment.  BID PACKS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.  Once a Bid is used, it is deducted from the total number of Bids associated with your Account and cannot be used again.

BIDS ARE NON-TRANSFERABLE.  Bids cannot be traded, sold or transfered from one account to another.

 

Subject to the conditions set forth herein, you agree to be bound by the Billing Provisions of BiggerBidder™ in effect at any given time.  Upon reasonable prior written notice to you (with the posting of the changes on the Site sufficing), BiggerBidder™ reserves the right to change its Billing Provisions whenever necessary, in its sole discretion.  Continued use of the Site, Marketplace and/or BiggerBidder Services after the posting of such notice shall constitute consent to any and all such changes; provided, however, that any amendment or modification to the Billing Provisions shall not apply to any charges incurred prior to the applicable amendment or modification. 

 

You may incur international transaction fees from your bank when you charge to your credit or debit card as we use foreign in addition to domestic merchant processors.  These fees will vary with each amount charged.

 

In addition, you agree not to hold BiggerBidder™ responsible for any overdraft charges or fees that you might incur in connection with your use of the Services and participation in the Marketplace.

 

BiggerBidder’s™ authorization to provide and bill for the BiggerBidder Services and/or Bid Packs is obtained by way of your electronic signature or, where applicable, via your physical signature and/or voice affirmation.  Once an electronic signature is submitted, this electronic order constitutes an electronic letter of agency.  BiggerBidder’s™ reliance upon your electronic signature was specifically sanctioned and written into law when the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Transactions Act were enacted in 1999 and 2000, respectively.  Both laws specifically preempt all state laws that recognize only paper and handwritten signatures.  Where you fail to make any scheduled payment for accrued fees, such overdue amounts will be subject to interest charges in the amount of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month, compounded monthly.   Your Account may be deactivated, Membership terminated and access to the Site and BiggerBidder Services denied, for non-payment.


 

7. Exchanges/Refunds. 

 

 

All Bid packs purchased are non-refundable.  Any and all Product refund requests, and inquires regarding defective Products, must be directed to the applicable Seller and not BiggerBidder™.


 

8.  Ratings/Feedback/User History. 

 

 

As part of the BiggerBidder Services, after a Buyer has purchased a Product from a Seller via an auction on the Site, the Buyer and Seller involved in the transaction can assign ratings (“Ratings”) to each other, as well as enter comments regarding their experience (“Feedback” and together with the Ratings, “User History”).  Only a Buyer and Seller directly involved in a transaction together can provide User History with respect to the other.  User History is not designed for any purpose other than for facilitating transactions between Buyers and Sellers, and you agree that you shall not market or export your User History in/to any venue other than the Site.  We do not allow you to import feedback from other websites to the Site because such feedback does not reflect your reputation within the BiggerBidder™ community.  BiggerBidder™ undertakes no responsibility to monitor or otherwise police the User History provided by Buyers and Sellers.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, BiggerBidder™ reserves the right to alter, remove and/or suspend any User History in its sole discretion including, but not limited to, where BiggerBidder™ believes that such User History was the result of fraud, manipulation, dishonesty or is otherwise objectionable.

20.  Dispute Resolution Provisions. 

 

 

The Agreement shall be treated as though it were executed and performed in Atlanta, Georgia and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without regard to conflict of law principles).  Should a dispute arise concerning the BiggerBidder Services, the Site, Membership, Marketplace, User History, Products, the terms and conditions of the Agreement or the breach of same by any party hereto, the parties agree to submit their dispute for resolution by arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in Atlanta, in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.  Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive to the parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Nothing herein shall be construed to preclude any party from seeking injunctive relief in order to protect its rights pending an outcome in arbitration.  To the extent permitted by law, you agree that you will not bring, join or participate in any class action lawsuit as to any claim, dispute or controversy that you may have against BiggerBidder™ and its employees, officers, directors, members, representatives and assigns.  You agree to the entry of injunctive relief to stop such a lawsuit or to remove you as a participant in the suit.  You agree to pay the attorney’s fees and court costs that BiggerBidder™ incurs in seeking such relief.  This provision preventing you from bringing, joining or participating in class action lawsuits: (a) does not constitute a waiver of any of your rights and remedies to pursue a claim individually and not as a class action in binding arbitration as provided above; and (b) is an independent agreement.
