13.1. A sales contract is deemed to be concluded when the seller decides to accept the buyer's bid and in  case where the bid was made via the website, at the moment that a confirmation e-mail is sent by Clicpublic to the e-mail address indicated by the Buyer.

13.2. If the seller imposes a minimum allocation price excluding VAT and excluding sales costs, known as the "reserve price" and that it is not reached at the end of the sale, in principle, the lot will not be awarded. However, it could be with the agreement of the seller and without the buyer can invoke a price lower than the “reserve price” to withdraw.

13.3. Unless special conditions, the seller has the right, at the end of the sale, not to award the lot. The best bidder cannot claim any right following this decision.

13.4. Insofar as in the contract of sale, it is not Clicpublic but a third party intervening as a salesman, Clicpublic will not act, according to the contractual obligations which bind it to the salesman, either as simple service provider, either only as an intermediary as stipulated by articles 1984 and following of the Civil Code and/or the Luxembourg Civil Code. In the latter case, Clicpublic intervenes only in the name of and on behalf of the seller and there will be no contract of sale between Clicpublic and the Buyer. Unless otherwise stated, the sale takes place on the order of a third party.

13.5. Ownership of the good(s)  purchased is transferred to the buyer at the time of the conclusion of the contract of sale but not until the buyer has paid to Clicpublic the full purchase price and any other amounts due, the amounts of which due to work performed or to be performed for the buyer and / or because of actions taken as a result of non-compliance with the sales contract.

13.6. The transfer of the risk (s) attached to the Lots purchased will take place as of the Assignment in the case of an Auction or the acceptance of the Offer in case of Direct Sale.

13.7. Invoicing takes place only after payment of the price and removal of the goods by the buyer.

 

14. Payment.

14.1. Payment method

The final price to be paid (including sales charges) is the price agreed by the parties (plus VAT and any transaction and handling fees). This is the price of the Final Bid. This sum must be paid to Clicpublic, within two (2) working days after the award of the bid to the buyer.

14.2. Electronic payment.

To ensure the security of online transactions Clicpublic can use recognized operators of online payment service (Worldline). Online payment is through a closed secure system, in which the bank data is encrypted when sent over the Internet (a secure SSL connection). The risk of loss or theft of identity data or credit cards is thus reduced by the measures taken by Clicpublic. Clicpublic will keep identity and credit card data for one (1) year in a database in an encrypted and secure environment.

14.3. Interest on late payment - penalty clause

Given the nature of Clicpublic's business, timely payment is essential. After the expiry of the period indicated, without the full payment has been made, the buyer is in default by operation of law. In the event of non-payment within the set deadline, interest at the rate of 10% per annum from the due date of payment shall be due by the buyer without prior notice. This annual interest of 10% can be converted to a monthly interest rate.

 

In case of late payment, the buyer will also be required to pay a lump sum equal to 15% of the invoice amount with a minimum of 100,00 EUR . All costs associated with collection  of the amount to be paid  are not included in this lump sum compensation and are charged separately to the buyer.

14.4. Termination to the sole prejudice and detriment of the buyer in default of payment.

In the event of a persistent failure to pay the full price by the buyer, Clicpublic may terminate the contract immediately, to the detriment of the buyer. In this hypothesis and if a part of the purchase price has been paid, Clicpublic will be able to keep this partial payment as indemnity for the termination   the contract  to the sole prejudice and detriment of the buyerbuyer.

In case of a crazy auction, the property concerned is not attributed to the member who made the crazy bid and who fails to pay, without for the latter to be able to  claim neither the delivery , nor the eventual higher price. The property is then put up for sale. The resale for sale is done under the same conditions of sale. The member who remains in default is obliged to pay the difference between the purchase price he has proposed and the price of the re-award, without being able to claim the balance if the new sale reaches a higher selling price. This balance is returned to the seller. In addition, the bidder is obliged to pay the costs of negligence and the re-award, as well as other costs of any kind, without prejudice to damages for any reason whatsoever.

 

15. Collection, removal of the goods

15.1. All goods must be removed by the buyer.

In this case, each possible delivery time will only be given as an indication.

Delivery of the goods takes place at the hours and at the days and at the address fixed by Clicpublic, as mentioned in the specific conditions of sale.

15.5. The buyer is required to take all measures to dismantle, remove or transport the goods. Clicpublic never helps with the withdrawal of the goods.

The buyer is fully responsible for any damage. The responsibility for this removal is the sole responsibility of the buyer.

15.7. If the buyer does not withdraw the goods, they will be transported to the building site of Clicpublic or, if necessary, destroyed at the expense of the defaulting buyer. Clicpublic reserves the right to pass on the damages and costs arising from the transport, dismantling and storage to the buyer ofwhom the purchase contract has been terminated.

15.8. If the owner of the building or third parties are claiming rights on a specific good before the said good is removed by the buyer, Clicpublic may cancel the purchase provided that Clicpublic fully refunds the amount already paid for this concerned good.

Clicpublic will report this termination by e-mail or in writing. The buyer cannot assert any other rights and he can not in any case claim any compensation.

15.9. Without prejudice to the sale or the client's compliance with the general conditions of the sale, the collection dates are indicative and may change at the request of the Agent or in order to meet operational constraints related to them. 

16. Claims.

Regarding the lots and any claims from third parties on these lots, Clicpublic does not provide any guarantee whatsoever. The buyer waives all rights that are not his due to the binding law.

If, in respect of the lots, the claims of third parties are recognized justified due to retention of title, intellectual property rights and / or other rights of third parties, the buyer is required to keep the lot or lots concerned at the disposal of these third parties, with the obligation to deliver them to these third parties at the first demand or else to agree on appropriate arrangements with these third parties.
