-----------------------

8 Reverse-auctions:

BID2WIN reverse-auctions will be conducted, and Items will be sold through MyD Enterprises Pty Ltd as follows:

(a) We will specify the start time and end time for a BID2WIN reverse-auction (reverse-auction period).  We may specify only a date in which case the reverse-auction will finish at 23.59 hours of the specified end date. All times are based on AEST "Australian Eastern Standard Time".

(b) We will accept and consider eligible bids for the purposes of determining the winner (or winners) of a BID2WIN reverse-auction. An eligible bid is a bid that is:

(i) Sent by you via SMS to the service number supplied by us for the specific item;

(ii) Received by us during the reverse-auction period;

(iii) As specified in the instructions for participating in a BID2WIN reverse-auction and in any supplementary reverse-auction rules including, without limitation, requirements about the format and maximum number of bids;

(iv) includes the amount of your bid (bid amount) in whole cents;

(v) A minimum bid amount of one cent, unless specified otherwise in any supplementary reverse-auction rules (minimum bid amount); and

(vi) Sent in circumstances which comply with these MyD Enterprises Pty Ltd Terms.

You must take care when dialing or sending messages to place a bid. It is your responsibility to ensure that you dial the correct number and send the correct request message. MyD Enterprises Pty Ltd will not be liable for any costs incurred or unexpected responses received by you because of user error or any other occurrence or omission on the user’s part. A bid that is received by us which is not an eligible bid may still be charged to your mobile phone account.

(c) Where a single Item is made available for sale via BID2WIN reverse-auction, the winning bid will be an eligible bid that is the lowest unique bid at the end of the reverse-auction period, meaning that it is:

(i) Equal to or greater than the minimum bid amount;

(ii) a unique bid amount (meaning that we have not received any other eligible bids at that bid amount, including eligible bids received from you); and

(iii) The lowest eligible bid.

The winning bid will be determined by us after the end of the reverse-auction period.

Once a bid is placed and accepted, it is final, and under no circumstances will it be removed or modified.  

(d) Where multiple Items are made available for sale through a single BID2WIN reverse-auction, the number of winning bids will be equal to the number of Items. In that case, the first winning bid will be the lowest unique eligible bid which is equal to or greater than the minimum bid amount, and the second winning bid will be the second-lowest unique eligible bid which is equal to or greater than the minimum bid amount, and so on in respect of each remaining Item.

(e) The first Winning Bid, and other Winning Bids (if applicable), will be determined by us after the end of the reverse-auction period.

(f) The relevant Item will be sold to the relevant winning bidder for a price equal to the amount of the winning bid amount. The first Item will be sold only to the person making the first Winning Bid; the second Item will be sold only to the person making the second lowest unique Winning Bid and so on for the corresponding number of Items. If you are a winning bidder, we will attempt to contact you by whatever means we deem appropriate.

(g) Each winning bidder is responsible for completing the sale transaction by paying for the Item

(h) In the case that there is not a unique bid, the winner will be determined by the first received bid of the lowest bid amount with the minimum quantity of bids.

9 Winning bidder obligations:

You do not have to buy the Item. If you do not buy the Item within the 28 day period we may resell the Item. Any failure by us to contact you regarding the status of your winning bid will not alter this requirement.

We will require a photograph of the winner and we reserve the right to publish the name, suburb, state, winning bid, product purchased and photograph of the successful bidder on our website and / or any other promotional material.

10 Substituted Items:

11 Passing of title and risk in Item:

-----------------------

12 Warranty & Guarantee of product or service:

All items offered are brand new and covered by the manufacturers warranty unless otherwise stated. All claims are subject of the product manufacturers/suppliers/importers/producers warranty that applies to each individual product or service and all enquiries for warranty related claims must be processed through these channels. MyD Enterprises Pty Ltd may assist in providing the contact details for any kind of product or service’s warranty procedure information but is not responsible for doing so.

-----------------------

13 Delivery:

We will specify the means by which the Item is delivered to you if you are the winning bidder for the Item. After you have paid us for the Item we will (at our discretion) either make the Item available to be collected by you at our premises or we will transport the Item to you by whatever means we deem appropriate, with or without insurance or registration. Unless we otherwise specify, Items may not be collected from us. We accept no responsibility for Items during transportation or while in our possession during the period in which the Item is available to be collected (as applicable). If we make the Item available to be collected, and you do not collect the Item within 28 days (or any longer period agreed between you and us) we may dispose of the Item and retain any benefits of that disposal and take reasonable steps to refund your payment to you. We may only ship items in the Australian territory.

-----------------------

14 Bidding Fees:

We will charge you a fee for each bid you make by submitting an SMS message to the relevant MyD Enterprises Pty Ltd service number (bidding fee). You are liable to pay the bidding fee even if your bid or message is not an eligible bid. Unless otherwise stated in any supplementary reverse-auction rules, the bidding fee will be $3.50 per bid. The bidding fee will be charged to your mobile phone account when you send the bid. Bidding fees are not refundable.

-----------------------

15 SMS service providers and acceptance of bids:

We reserve the right to accept and consider only those SMS bids received via mobile messaging service providers (providers) of our choice. We will only accept bids received via providers that allow us to charge the bidding fee. If we are unable to charge you the bidding fee, your bid will not be an eligible bid. We are not liable to you if the provider does not provide telecommunications coverage at a particular location or fails to accept from you or deliver to us an SMS bid, whether completely, in a timely manner or at all. You acknowledge that SMS messages are sometimes lost before they are delivered and you therefore cannot be sure that we have accepted your bid unless you receive from us a return SMS confirming the status of your bid. Return SMS’s from time to time experience delays in the delivery of messages which are beyond our control and are related to the mobile messaging service provider of our choice.
