You agree not to sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adept, edit or create derivative works from content (including imagery) or materials on the Site. Use of the content and materials for any purpose not expressly permitted in these Terms of Use and Conditions is prohibited. You may not decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or otherwise reduce the Site to a human-perceivable form, except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law, and in that case, only if you notify AuctionNinja in writing in advance. You may not copy, frame-set, enclose or otherwise distribute any part of the Site.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, RELEASE & INDEMNITY
You will not hold AuctionNinja responsible for the actions or inactions of site Users, contents of their listings, items they list, nor their destruction of alleged fake and counterfeit items. You acknowledge that AuctionNinja is not a traditional "auctioneer" or "auction house." Instead, AuctionNinja is just a venue or bidding platform, which allows Sellers and Buyers the convenience to offer, sell, and buy practically anything, at anytime, from anywhere, in a variety of pricing formats and locations, such as, online auctions and online store formats. AuctionNinja is not involved in the actual transaction between site Users-the Buyers and the Sellers.
AuctionNinja has no control over and does NOT guarantee the quality, safety or legality of items advertised, the truth or accuracy of Users' content or listings, the ability of the Sellers to sell items, the ability of the Buyers to pay for items, or that the Buyer or the Seller will actually complete a transaction.
AuctionNinja does NOT transfer legal ownership of items from the Seller to the Buyer. Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) § 2-401(2) applies to the transfer of ownership between the Buyer and the Seller, unless the Buyer and the Seller agree otherwise. Accordingly, to the extent legally permitted, AuctionNinja excludes all implied warranties, terms and conditions. AuctionNinja is NOT liable for any loss of money, goodwill or reputation, or any special, indirect or consequential damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of your use of or your inability to use AuctionNinja's Site, services, and tools.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or exclusion of damages, so such disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you. Regardless of the previous paragraphs, if AuctionNinja is found to be liable, AuctionNinja's liability to you or to any third party is limited to a maximum of the total fee, if any, paid to AuctionNinja only by you for the specific transaction(s) involved with the Buyer and the Seller. AuctionNinja is NOT responsible for any other costs, such as; but, not limited to, shipping, restocking, legal or indirect fees involved in and/or resulting from the specific transaction(s).
14. PRIVACY AND NO AGENCY
Refer to AuctionNinja’s PRIVACY POLICY.
EXTENDED BIDDING ("SOFT CLOSE")
AuctionNinja's online auction system features extended bidding (a.k.a. "soft close"). This feature is built into the coding of AuctionNinja and is fully automated. It is the closest way to mimic the actions of an auctioneer (during a live auction) in an online/automated format. To illustrate, during a live auction the auctioneer typically won't hammer at the first bid. The auctioneer gives bidders opportunities to increase their bids until he/she determines there is no further interest in the lot before hammering to the winning bidder. Therefore, AuctionNinja's automated system will automatically extend the closing time of a lot (auction item) whenever a new bid is placed within the last five minutes of its scheduled closing to allow other interested bidders an opportunity to increase their bid (if they wish to do so). This may occur multiple times on any given lot depending on bidder interest. Once all interest and bidding in a lot ceases, the clock will run out and the lot will close.
