PS AUCTION AB
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR AUCTIONS AND MEMBERSHIP
1. Background
1.1. These terms and conditions for auctions and memberships (the ”Terms”) apply be- tween you as a consumer or you as a company or other legal entity (the “Customer”/”you”) and PS Onlineauktioner AB, company registration no. 556632-1468 (“PS”) when you register a user account via the website www.psonlineauctions.com (the “Website”). By accepting these Terms, you or the company or other legal entity which you represent will be registered as a member with PS.
1.2. If you use and make bids on the Website by logging into a user account which you have registered through the website of a local PS company in Sweden, Denmark, Finland or Estonia, the local terms, and not these Terms, shall apply for all use of the user account and Services (as defined in clause 1.3 below) from that account. The local terms are made available on the Website.
1.3. The Terms apply for the Customer’s membership with PS, for the use of the Website and for the services, e.g. bidding or monitoring of certain objects, which PS provides on the Website (the “Services”). Upon any purchase and sale of objects on the Website (“Auction Object”) PS’s at all times applicable General terms and conditions for online auctions shall apply, as set forth on the Website and below.
1.4. PS complies with Swedish law, including EU regulations and directives. Furthermore, PS strives to always comply with mandatory consumer protection laws and regulations where the Customer who is a consumer has its country of residence. The Terms applies to the maximum extent allowed by mandatory consumer protection laws in the Customer’s country of residence. Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit PS’s liability with regard to any matter for which it would be unlawful for PS to limit or exclude its liability according to applicable mandatory consumer protection law in the Customer’s country of residence.
1.5. By accepting the Terms, the Customer and its representatives undertakes to comply with the Terms and acknowledges that they have read the information on PS’s processing of personal data according to PS’s privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”). The Terms, PS’s Privacy Policy and the information PS provides on the Website, constitute the entire agreement between the Customer and PS with regard to the use of the Website and PS’s Services.
2. Services – bidding
2.1. PS may from time to time offer different Services, e.g. the possibility to place or monitor bids. Such Services may be free of charge or be charged with different kinds of fees. The terms set forth below apply for PS’s bidding service on the Website.
2.2. Any Customer that wishes to participate in biddings on the Website may participate if the Terms are complied with. A Customer is not entitled to participate in the bid- ding on the Website for objects submitted by said Customer or in any way manipulate the bidding, e.g. by proxy. PS reserves the right to refrain from sales, disregard bids and decide whether any bidding shall be re-done subject to any ambiguity of the final bid.
2.3. A Customer can log in and place a bid at an auction on the Website from start of the auction until it is closed. There is a given time for each Auction Object cried at an auction on the Website, when the so called countdown for the auction starts. If a new bid is placed by a Customer within three (3) minutes from this time, the auction will continue and the auction time will be extended by another three (3) minutes. When the bidding has come to a standstill for three (3) minutes, the auction will be closed. The time for auction close is thus flexible and cannot be predicted. Information about ongoing auctions together with preliminary closing dates is provided on the Website.
2.4. All bids are binding for the Customer. No placed bid may therefore be withdrawn, provided that mandatory consumer legislation does not proscribe otherwise in relation to a Customer who is a consumer. Note that the right of withdrawal in most cases will not apply to placed bids, see more information on this below under clause 8.
2.5. PS has developed the provided bidding service over time through extensive investments. Furthermore, PS continuously invests time and money in developing the bidding service. If the Customer uses PS’s bidding service and places the winning bid the Customer shall pay a fee for the use of the bidding service. The fee for the service is intended to cover PS’s costs for the bidding service, such as investments made in the service, costs for programmers, IT support, operating costs and other costs necessary for the service to be provided. The service fee must be paid in accordance with the principle and the amounts set forth on the Website. The service fee may vary in size depending on which Auction Object that is being put out for sale. A Customer is obliged to pay the service fee even if the purchase of the current Auction Object, for any reason, is not completed by the Customer. There is no service fee for Customer who does not win the bidding of the auction object. Applicable service fees are set forth on the Website. Payment of the service fees to PS shall be made pursuant to PS’s from time to time applicable general terms and conditions for online auctions, please see the Website and below.
2.6. An Auction Object placed for auction on the Website has been assigned a minimum price for which PS is willing to sell the Auction Object (the “Reservation Price”). The Customer shall place a bid which corresponds to the highest amount the Customer is willing to pay for the Auction Object (the “Bid”). Any Customer wishing to place a Bid shall follow the instructions on the Website. Whenever a Customer places a Bid exceeding the Reservation Price, PS will automatically start an automatic bidder which will bid, as favorably as possible, on behalf of the Customer up until the Bid. The winning bid may accordingly be lower than the stated Bid. Please refer to the Website for further information about Bidding and its function. PS reserves the right to remove Auction Objects from the Website during ongoing bidding.
2.7. The highest bid given will win the Auction. If two equally high bids have been given, the Customer, whose bid was first registered with the Service, will win. After a closed auction, the Customer who has given the highest bid will always enter into a binding agreement with PS, subject to PS accepting the Customer’s bid by sending an invoice to the Customer or otherwise confirming the bid pursuant to clause 2.9 below. Applicable terms for purchase are set forth in PS’s from time to time applicable General terms and conditions for online auctions. If the Reservation Price has not been met, the provisions set forth in clause 2.8 below shall apply.
2.8. If an Auction Object has not reached its Reservation Price, PS reserves the right to not accept the Customer’s bid, but instead post the Auction Object for sale again without prior contact with the Customer who gave the highest bid. If the Customer’s bid has been accepted by PS, an invoice will be sent to the Customer without prior notice from PS. An invoice may accordingly be considered as an acceptance of the bid by PS. The invoice will be sent to the e-mail address the Customer provided upon registration and is available for download on the Customer’s page on the Website.
2.9. After and auction has closed, PS will contact the Customer who won the bidding pursuant to clause 2.7, normally within three (3) business days, by e-mail or telephone to confirm the bid. This is normally done through PS sending an invoice to the Customer. Payment for the purchase shall be made pursuant to PS’s from time to time applicable General terms and conditions for online auctions. The winning Customer is obliged to be available by telephone and to read e-mails after the auction has closed. In cases where PS is unable to contact the winning Customer in spite of repeated attempts, PS is entitled to charge the Customer the service fee and to offer other Customers to buy the Auction Object, unless otherwise expressly specified.
3. User account and personal data
3.1. In order to utilise the Services, e.g. to place a bid on the Website, the Customer needs to be registered and logged on to the Website, either as a consumer or as a company. To register as a Customer on the Website is free of charge. Customers register by submitting their personal data on the Website and thereafter receive a user account. The Customer confirms that the personal data submitted is correct and complete and is responsible for any erroneously completed data. Information regarding PS’s handling of personal data is set forth in PS’s Privacy Policy.
3.2. Any company or other legal entity registered as a Customer is subject to having a natural person, with the authority to bind the legal entity to the Terms, use the Services and enter into agreement on behalf of the legal entity on the Website, also being the contact person. The Website is not available to and may not be used by minors or anyone with limited legal competence or by temporarily or definitively blocked Customers.
3.3. The Customer undertakes to ensure that no other person, except the Customer, may use the Customer’s log in details. The Customer may not disclose the user name and password to any unauthorized person and shall ensure that any documentation with information about user name and password is kept in such a way that unauthorized persons may not access the information. The Customer shall notify PS without delay if it may be suspected that any unauthorized person has gained knowledge of the Customer’s password. The Customer is responsible for any acts, e.g. bidding and purchases made, for which the Customer’s log in has been used.
3.4. Should PS suspect that the Customer abuses its user account or its log in details or otherwise violates the Terms, PS is entitled to block the Customer. PS is furthermore entitled to, for whichever reason, provide the Customer with new log in details.
3.5. PS is not liable for any losses caused by any unauthorised use of a Customer’s log in details or user account subject to PS not having acted negligently.
4. Notices
4.1. Any notices from PS to the Customer will be sent to the e-mail address registered on the Website. Notices from the Customer to PS shall be sent in the manner as set forth on the Website.
4.2. Any notices sent by e-mail or fax shall be considered received by the other party immediately upon receipt of a confirmation of successful transmission. Notices sent by ordinary mail shall be considered received by the other party three (3) days after sending.
5. Technology
5.1. PS is unfortunately unable to guarantee that the Website will be free from defects or undisturbed, that faults will be rectified or that the Website or the servers making the Website accessible will be free of any hazardous components. Technical disturbances caused by special maintenance work, further development and/or other disturbances may limit and/or from time to time prevent the Customer from using the Website or result in data being lost. PS is not responsible for the accessibility of the Services and cannot guarantee that technical disturbances or loss of data will not occur.
5.2. The Website may be affected by operational disturbances as set forth above. PS reserves the right to postpone dates and times for close of auctions after unexpected operational disturbances, including but not limited to deficient Internet connections to servers, data infringement or server interruption at the supplier. Thus, PS is not responsible for any overloading of the Website or any thereto related consequences. Nor is PS responsible for any damages or faults in its own computer equipment and/or programs and that of others, which may affect the participation in PS’s auctions.
5.3 However, the above mentioned shall not apply in cases of gross negligence or malicious intent.
6. Intellectual property rights
6.1. The Website and the Services, their contents and all intellectual property rights protecting the same are the property of PS. The Website and its contents are protected by copyright and database protection (catalogue protection). Unauthorised use or copying of the entire or parts of the Website and the Services may constitute unauthorised infringement of intellectual property rights and result in liability for damages.
6.2. PS, PS ONLINEAUCTIONS.COM and PS AUCTION.COM and any thereto related logotypes constitute PS’s trademarks. Any use of the trade marks is only permitted upon PS’s written approval and, once said approval is given, only in accordance with PS’s instructions.
7. Duration
7.1. These Terms come into force when the Customer is registered on the Website and shall remain in effect until further notice. The Customer is entitled to, at any time, terminate its membership with PS. Upon termination, the Terms shall continue to apply for such acts, e.g. bidding, which the Customer undertook prior to the termination.
7.2. Any Customer banned from the Website by PS is not entitled to re-registering or using the service through another Customer’s log in, without PS’s prior written consent. PS is entitled, at their own discretion, to decide to cease the provision of the Website and the Services or part of the same.
8. The Customer’s right of withdrawal
8.1. This clause 8 applies to consumers.
8.2. The right of withdrawal does not apply in certain cases. This is the case if the agreement concerns a service that has been fully performed, if the performance has begun with the Customer’s express consent and with the acknowledgement that the right of withdrawal is lost once the agreement has been fully performed. When the Customer participates in an auction on the Website by placing a Bid, the Customer uses a service (the bidding service) which is fully performed when the Customer has placed a Bid in an auction during the withdrawal period. Upon using this service, the Customer will be able to give its express consent to the commencement of the service and acknowledge that the Customer has no right of withdrawal when the service has been fully performed (i.e. as soon as the Bid has been placed). The below information about the right of withdrawal is therefore, in most cases, not applicable in relation to PS’s bidding service, however, it may be relevant for other Services that PS from time to time may offer the Customer.
8.3. In accordance with applicable consumer legislation, consumers are entitled to fourteen (14) days’ right of withdrawal from the date when an agreement for a service was entered into. If the Customer wants to use the right of withdrawal, before the withdrawal period has expired, the Customer must send a clear and explicit message to PS. For a smooth handling PS recommends the Customer to contact PS in the manner described on the Website. The Customer shall provide its name and other relevant information, e.g. the Service the Customer wants to withdraw, in the message. The Customer can also choose to use the standard form for the exercise of withdrawal which is made available on the Website.
8.4. In order for the Customer to use its right of withdrawal in time, it will be sufficient for the Customer to send a message to that effect prior to expiry of the withdrawal period.
8.5. Once the Customer exercises its right of withdrawal PS will reimburse the amount that the Customer paid for the withdrawn service. On the amount to be refunded for a withdrawn service, PS is entitled to deduct an amount which in relation to the agreed total price for the service is in proportion to what has been provided until the time the Customer has informed PS of the exercise of the right of withdrawal contract price- This applies to the extent that the agreed price is reasonable and that the Customer requested the commencement of the service to begin during the withdrawal period.
8.6. PS will pay back the amount as soon as possible, however, no later than within 14 days of the date PS received the Customer’s notice of withdrawal. Repayment will be made to the Customer by the same payment method chosen by the Customer, unless otherwise agreed or there is any objection to such repayment.
9. Amendment of the Terms
9.1. PS may from time to time amend the Terms, the Services and the prices for the same and the contents of the Website. Upon material amendments of these Terms, the Customer will be informed prior to logging on to the Website. However, this shall not apply if the amendment is subject to changes in law, constitution or by order of authorities, if the amendment must come into force immediately.
9.2. Unless PS and the Customer have agreed otherwise, amendments will come into force thirty (30) days after the Customer was notified of said amendment. Should the Customer not wish to accept the changes in the Terms or the Services, including a price change, the Customer is entitled to terminating the agreement regarding access to the Website with immediate effect. The Website will then be closed down for said Customer and the membership will cease. Such termination shall be made prior to the Customer using the Website again. PS recommends that the Customer stays updated on the Website on a regular basis in order to become aware of any amendments of the Terms.
10. Blocking
10.1. If a Customer violates the provisions of these Terms or if PS has reason to suspect that a Customer violates the provisions of the Terms, PS may at its own discretion and without prior notice to the Customer (i) terminate the Customer’s user account and/or (ii) limit the Customer’s right to use the Website by preventing log in and/or (iii) render access to the Website impossible.
11. Transfer
PS is entitled to transferring the agreement, which is governed by these Terms including all or any parts of thereto related rights and/or obligations, to a third party. In case of transfer, PS will notify to whom the contractual relation has been transferred by notification on the Website or by e-mail. If PS transfers the Terms to a third party, said third party is entitled to providing the same or similar services on another website. A Customer is not entitled to transfer its agreement with PS without prior written consent of PS.
12. Miscellaneous
12.1. If any provision of these Terms is to be held invalid or unenforceable by any competent court, authority, arbitral tribunal or alternative dispute resolution board, the remainder of that provision and all other provisions will remain valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
12.2. A party’s waiver of any of its rights or remedies under these Terms must be in writing and duly executed by it. No single or partial waiver of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other such right or remedy.
13. Governing law and disputes
13.1. Any dispute relating to the interpretation or application of these Terms and the Web- site in general shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of Sweden. Swedish law shall however not apply in a situation where a Customer who is a consumer has better rights according to mandatory applicable consumer protection law in the country where the Customer resides.
13.2. Any dispute shall primarily be settled by negotiations between the parties. Should the parties be unable to reach an agreement, the dispute shall be finally settled by the courts of Sweden.
13.3. In case of dispute with Customer who is a consumer follows decisions of the alternative dispute resolution entities listed on the website for the EU online dispute resolution platform.

PS AUCTION AB
AUKTIONS- OCH MEDLEMSVILLKOR
1. Bakgrund
1.1. Dessa auktions- och medlemsvillkor (”Villkoren”) gäller mellan dig som privatperson eller er som företag eller annan juridisk person (”Kunden”/”du”) och PS Auction AB, organisationsnummer 556632-1468 (”PS”). Genom att godkänna Villkoren blir du alternativt det företag eller annan juridisk person som du företräder registrerad medlem hos PS.
1.2. Villkoren gäller för Kundens medlemskap hos PS, för användningen av PS webbplats psauction.se och därtill hörande sidor (”Webbplatsen”) samt för de tjänster, såsom exempelvis budgivning eller bevakning av ett föremål, som PS tillhandahåller på Webbplatsen (”Tjänsterna”). Vid köp och försäljning av föremål via Webbplatsen (”Auktionsföremål”) gäller istället PS vid var tid gällande Allmänna villkor för auktioner online, se Webbplatsen och nedan.
1.3. Genom att acceptera Villkoren förbinder sig Kunden samt dess företrädare att följa Villkoren, samt godkänner att denne tagit del av informationen om PS behandling av personuppgifter enligt PS integritetspolicy (”Integritetspolicy”). Villkoren, PS Integritetspolicy och den information som PS anger på Webbplatsen utgör det fullständiga avtalet mellan Kunden och PS rörande användning av Webbplatsen och PS Tjänster.
2. Tjänsterna - budgivning
2.1. PS kan från tid till annan komma att erbjuda olika Tjänster såsom möjlighet att lägga eller bevaka bud. Sådana Tjänster kan vara gratis eller vara förenade med avgifter av olika slag. Nedan villkor gäller för PS budgivningstjänst via Webbplatsen.
2.2. En Kund som önskar delta i en budgivning på Webbplatsen får delta om denne uppfyller Villkoren. Det är inte tillåtet att delta i budgivning på Webbplatsen av egna inlämnade föremål eller att manipulera en budgivning på något sätt, exempelvis genom ombud. PS förbehåller sig rätten att avstå från försäljning, bortse från bud samt bestämma om budgivning ska göras om på grund av oklarheter om sista bud.
2.3. En Kund kan logga in och lägga ett bud på en auktion på Webbplatsen från att denna startat tills att den stänger. För varje Auktionsföremål som utropas till auktion på Webbplatsen finns ett angivet klockslag då så kallad nedräkning för auktionen startar. Om ett nytt bud läggs av en Kund inom tre (3) minuter från denna tid så fortsätter auktionen och auktionstiden förlängs med ytterligare tre (3) minuter. När budgivningen har varit avstannad i tre (3) minuter, så är auktionen avslutad. Tid för auktionsslut är av denna anledning rörlig och kan inte förutses. Information om pågående auktioner tillsammans med preliminära avslutsdatum återfinns på Webbplatsen.
2.4. Samtliga bud är bindande för Kunden. Ett avgivet bud kan därför inte återkallas, förutsatt att tvingande konsumenträttslig lagstiftning inte föreskriver annat i relation till Kund som är konsument. Observera att ångerrätt i de flesta fall inte kommer gälla för lagt bud, se mer information om detta nedan under punkt 8.
2.5. Den budgivningstjänst som PS tillhandhåller har PS utvecklat över tid genom omfattande investeringar. PS investerar vidare löpande tid och pengar i att utveckla budgivningstjänsten. Om Kunden använder PS budgivningstjänst och lämnar vinnande bud utgår därför en avgift för nyttjande av själva budgivningstjänsten. Avgiften för tjänsten avser att täcka PS kostnader för budgivningstjänsten såsom gjorda investeringar i tjänsten, kostnader för programmerare, IT-support, driftskostnader och andra kostnader som är nödvändiga för att tjänsten ska kunna tillhandhållas. Avgiften för tjänsten ska betalas i enlighet med den princip och de belopp som anges på Webbplatsen. Avgiften för tjänsten kan variera i storlek beroende på vilket Auktionsföremål det rör sig om. En Kund är skyldig att betala avgiften för tjänsten även om köpet av det aktuella Auktionsföremålet av någon anledning inte fullföljs av Kunden. PS bjuder på avgiften för tjänsten för Kund som inte vinner budgivningen av ett Auktionsföremål. Gällande avgifter för tjänsten framgår på Webbplatsen. Betalning av avgiften för tjänsten till PS genomförs i enlighet med PS vid var tid gällande Allmänna villkor för auktioner online, se Webbplatsen och nedan.
2.6. Ett Auktionsföremål som bjuds ut till auktion på Webbplatsen har getts ett lägsta pris som PS är villig att sälja Auktionsföremålet för (”Reservationspriset”). Kunden ska lägga ett bud som motsvarar det högsta belopp som Kunden är villig att betala för Auktionsföremålet (“Bud”). En Kund som vill lägga ett Bud ska följa instruktionerna på Webbplatsen. När en Kund lägger ett Bud som överstiger Reservationspriset kommer PS automatiskt att starta en budbetjänt som bjuder, så förmånligt som möjligt, för Kundens räkning upp till Budet. Det vinnande budet kan därför bli lägre än det angivna Budet. Se Webbplatsen för mer information om Bud och dess funktion. PS förbehåller sig rätten att ta bort Auktionsföremål från Webbplatsen under pågående budgivning.
2.7. Det högst angivna budet vinner. Om två lika höga bud har angivits vinner den Kund vars bud registrerats först hos Tjänsten. Efter avslutad auktion har den Kund som avgivit det högsta budet alltid ingått ett bindande avtal med PS, förutsatt att PS godkänt Kundens bud genom att skicka en faktura till Kunden eller annars bekräftar budet i enlighet med punkten 2.9 nedan. Tillämpliga villkor för köp framgår av PS vid var tid gällande Allmänna villkor för auktioner online. Om inte Reservationspriset har uppnåtts gäller vad som framgår av punkten 2.8 nedan.
2.8. Om ett Auktionsföremål inte har uppnått sitt Reservationspris förbehåller sig PS rätten att inte acceptera Kundens bud, utan istället lägga ut Auktionsföremålet till försäljning igen utan föregående kontakt med Kunden som har lagt det högsta budet. Om Kundens bud har godkänts av PS skickas en faktura till Kunden utan inledande kontakt med PS. Skickad faktura är alltså som ett godkännande av budet från PS sida. Fakturan skickas till den e-postadress som Kunden har angivit vid registrering och finns tillgänglig att ladda ner på Kundens egen sida på Webbplatsen.
2.9. Efter auktionen kontaktar PS den Kund som vunnit budgivningen i enlighet med punkten 2.7, normalt inom tre (3) arbetsdagar, via e-post eller telefon för att bekräfta budet. Detta sker normalt genom att PS skickar en faktura till Kunden. Betalning av köpet genomförs i enlighet med PS vid var tid gällande Allmänna villkor för auktioner online. Vinnande Kund är skyldig att finnas tillgänglig på telefon samt läsa sin e-post efter auktionsavslutet. I de fall PS inte kan få kontakt med den vinnande Kunden trots upprepade försök, har PS rätt att debitera avgiften för tjänsten samt erbjuda andra Kunder att köpa Auktionsföremålet, såvida inget annat anges.
3. Användarkonto samt kunduppgifter
3.1. För att kunna utnyttja Tjänsterna, exempelvis lägga ett bud på Webbplatsen, måste Kunden vara registrerad och inloggad på Webbplatsen, antingen som privatperson eller som företag. Att registrera sig som Kund på Webbplatsen är gratis. Kunden registrerar sig genom att fylla i sina uppgifter på Webbplatsen och erhåller därefter ett användarkonto. Kunden bekräftar att de uppgifter som Kunden fyller i är korrekta och fullständigt ifyllda och ansvarar för felaktigt ifyllda uppgifter. Information om PS behandling av personuppgifter finns i PS Integritetspolicy.
3.2. Om ett företag eller annan juridisk person registreras som Kund krävs att en fysisk person med behörighet att binda den juridiska personen till Villkoren, använda Tjänsterna och ingå avtal för den juridiska personens räkning på Webbplatsen också är kontaktperson. Webbplatsen är inte tillgänglig för, och får inte användas av, personer under 18 år eller som av annan orsak har begränsad rättshandlingsförmåga eller av temporärt eller definitivt avstängda Kunder.
3.3. Kunden åtar sig att se till så att ingen annan än Kunden kan använda Kundens inloggningsuppgifter. Kunden får inte avslöja användarnamn och lösenord för någon obehörig och ska se till att handling med uppgift om användarnamn och lösenord förvaras på ett sådant sätt att obehörig inte kan få tillgång till informationen. Kunden ska omgående anmäla till PS om det kan misstänkas att obehörig känner till Kundens lösenord. Kunden ansvarar för handlingar, såsom budgivningar och köp som gjorts med dennes inloggningsuppgifter.
3.4. Om PS misstänker att Kunden missbrukar sitt användarkonto eller sina inloggningsuppgifter eller annars bryter mot Villkoren har PS rätt att stänga av Kunden. PS har även rätt att oavsett anledning tilldela Kunden nya inloggningsuppgifter.
3.5. PS är inte ansvarigt för förluster orsakade till följd av otillåten användning av en Kunds inloggningsuppgifter eller användarkonto under förutsättning att PS inte gjort sig skyldig till försummelse.
4. Meddelanden
4.1. Meddelanden från PS till Kunden sänds till den e-postadress som finns registrerad på Webbplatsen. Meddelanden från Kunden till PS ska sändas på sätt som anges på Webbplatsen.
4.2. Meddelanden som sänts per e-post eller fax anses ha lämnats till den andra parten omedelbart efter erhållandet av bekräftelse om mottagen sändning. Meddelanden som sänts med ordinarie post anses ha kommit den andra parten tillhanda tre (3) dagar efter avsändandet.
5. Teknik
5.1. PS kan tyvärr inte garantera att Webbplatsen kommer att vara felfri eller ostörd, att fel kommer åtgärdas eller att Webbplatsen eller de servrar som tillgängliggör Webbplatsen är fria från skadliga komponenter. Tekniska störningar orsakade av speciellt underhållsarbeten, vidareutveckling och/eller andra störningar kan begränsa och/eller tidvis förhindra möjligheterna för Kund att använda Webbplatsen eller att data går förlorade. PS ansvarar inte för tillgängligheten hos Tjänsterna och kan inte garantera att tekniska störningar eller dataförluster inte förekommer.
5.2. Webbplatsen kan komma att drabbas av driftstörningar enligt ovan. PS förbehåller sig rätten att senarelägga datum och tid för auktionsavslut efter oväntade driftstörningar, inkluderat men inte begränsat till fel i internetuppkoppling till server, dataintrång eller serviceavbrott hos leverantör. PS ansvarar således inte för eventuell överbelastning på Webbplatsen och dess konsekvenser. PS ansvarar inte för skador eller fel i sina eller övrigas datorutrustning och/eller program som påverkar deltagandet i PS auktioner.
5.3. Ovanstående gäller dock inte om grov vårdslöshet eller uppsåt föreligger.
6. Immateriella rättigheter
6.1. Webbplatsen och Tjänsterna, dess innehåll och samtliga immateriella rättigheter som skyddar dessa ägs av PS. Webbplatsen och dess innehåll skyddas av upphovsrätt och databasskydd (katalogskydd). Otillåten användning eller kopiering av hela eller delar av Webbplatsen samt Tjänsterna kan utgöra olovligt immaterialrättsligt intrång och resultera i skadeståndsansvar.
6.2. PS, PS ONLINEAUKTIONER.SE, PS ONLINEAUCTIONS.COM, PS AUCTION.SE, PS AUCTION.EE, PS AUCTION.DK, PS AUCTION.FI och PS AUCTION.COM samt därtill relaterade logotyper utgör PS varumärken och/eller domännamn. Användning av varumärkena får endast ske efter PS skriftliga godkännande och efter sådant godkännande endast i enlighet med PS instruktioner.
7. Avtalstid
7.1. Dessa Villkor träder i kraft när Kunden har registrerat sig på Webbplatsen och gäller tills vidare. Kunden har rätt att när som helst säga upp sitt medlemskap hos PS. Vid uppsägning fortsätter Villkoren att gälla för sådana handlingar, exempelvis budgivning, som Kunden genomfört innan uppsägningen.
7.2. En Kund som har avstängts från Webbplatsen av PS har inte rätt att återregistrera sig eller använda tjänsten via en annan Kunds inloggning, utan PS föregående skriftliga samtycke. PS har rätt att, efter eget gottfinnande, besluta om att upphöra med att tillhandahålla Webbplatsen och Tjänsterna eller del av dessa.
8. Ångerrätt för konsumenter
8.1. Vad som sägs i denna punkt 8 gäller för konsumenter.
8.2. I vissa fall gäller inte ångerrätten. Så är fallet om avtalet avser en tjänst som fullgjorts, om Kund som är konsument uttryckligen har samtyckt till att tjänsten börjar utföras och att Kunden har gått med på att det inte finns någon ångerrätt när tjänsten har fullgjorts. När Kunden deltar i en auktion på Webbplatsen genom att lägga Bud, utnyttjar Kunden en tjänst (budgivningstjänsten) som också fullgörs genom att Kunden lämnar Bud i en auktion under pågående ångerfrist. När Kunden använder denna tjänst kommer Kunden kunna lämna sitt uttryckliga samtycke till att tjänsten börjar utföras och att Kunden inte har någon ångerrätt när tjänsten har fullgjorts (d.v.s. så snart Budet har lämnats). Nedan information om ångerrätt är därför i de flesta fall inte aktuell vid nyttjande av PS budgivningstjänst, däremot kan den vara av relevans för andra Tjänster som PS från tid till annan kan komma att erbjuda Kunden.
8.3. Konsumenter har enligt gällande konsumentlagstiftning ångerrätt i fjorton (14) dagar från den dag avtal om en tjänst ingås. Om Kunden vill utnyttja ångerrätten, innan ångerfristen har löpt ut, ska Kunden skicka ett klart och tydligt meddelande till PS. För en smidig hantering rekommenderar PS Kunden att kontakta PS på det sätt som beskrivs på Webbplatsen. Kunden ska då ange namn och annan relevant information såsom vilken Tjänst det gäller. Kunden kan också välja att använda den standardblankett för utövande av ångerrätt som Konsumentverket har tagit fram, se här: Ångerblankett Konsumentverket.
8.4. För att Kunden ska hinna utöva din ångerrätt i tid räcker det att Kunden sänder sitt meddelande om att Kunden tänker utöva ångerrätten innan ångerfristen har löpt ut.
8.5. När Kunden utövar sin ångerrätt kommer PS betala tillbaka det eventuella belopp som Kunden betalat för den ångrade tjänsten. På det belopp som ska återbetalas för en ångrad tjänst har PS rätt att dra av en proportionell andel av det avtalade priset, i den mån priset är skäligt, för en tjänst som delvis utförts innan Kunden utövade ångerrätten förutsatt att Kunden begärt att tjänsten ska börja utföras under ångerfristen.
8.6. PS betalar snarast tillbaka beloppet, dock senast inom 14 dagar från och med det datum PS tog emot Kundens meddelande om utövande av ångerrätten. Återbetalningen kommer att ske till Kunden via det betalningsalternativ som Kunden valde, om inte annat överenskommits eller om det finns hinder för sådan återbetalning.
9. Ändring av villkor
9.1. PS kan komma att ändra Villkoren, Tjänsterna och priserna för dessa, samt innehållet på Webbplatsen från tid till annan. Vid betydande förändringar av dessa Villkor kommer Kunden informeras innan denne loggar in på Webbplatsen. Detta gäller dock inte om ändringen beror på förändringar i lag, författning eller myndighets beslut, om ändringen måste gälla omgående.
9.2. Om inte PS och Kunden kommit överens om annat, träder ändring i kraft trettio (30) dagar efter att Kunden blivit informerad om sådan ändring. Om Kunden inte vill godta förändringarna i Villkoren eller Tjänsterna, inklusive prisförändring, har denne rätt att säga upp avtalet för tillgång till Webbplatsen till omedelbart upphörande. Webbplatsen stängs då ned för den Kunden och medlemskapet avslutas. Sådan uppsägning ska göras innan Kunden återigen använt Webbplatsen. PS rekommenderar att Kunden håller sig uppdaterad på Webbplatsen regelbundet för att bli varse om eventuella ändringar av Villkoren.
10. Avstängning
Om en Kund bryter mot bestämmelserna i dessa Villkor eller om PS har anledning att misstänka att en Kund bryter mot bestämmelserna i Villkoren kan PS efter eget tycke och utan att i förväg meddela Kunden; (i) säga upp Kundens användarkonto och/eller (ii) begränsa Kundens rätt att utnyttja Webbplatsen genom att förhindra inloggning och/eller (iii) omöjliggöra tillgång till Webbplatsen.
11. Överlåtelse
PS har rätt att överlåta det avtal som regleras av dessa Villkor inklusive samtliga eller delar av därmed sammanhängande rättigheter och/eller skyldigheter, till tredje man. I händelse av överlåtelse kommer PS att meddela vem som har tagit över avtalsrelationen efter överlåtelsen genom meddelande på Webbplatsen eller via e-postmeddelande. Om PS överlåter Villkoren till tredje man har denne rätt att tillhandahålla samma eller liknande tjänster på en annan webbsida. En Kund kan inte överlåta sitt avtal med PS utan föregående skriftligt medgivande.
12. Tillämplig lag och tvist
12.1. Tvist rörande tolkningen eller tillämpningen av dessa Villkor och Webbplatsen i övrigt ska tolkas i enlighet med svensk lag och i första hand lösas genom förhandlingar mellan parterna. I de fall parterna inte når en överenskommelse, ska tvisten avgöras av svensk domstol.
12.2. Vid tvist med Kund som är privatperson följer PS beslut från Allmänna Reklamationsnämnden. Allmänna Reklamationsnämnden nås antingen via hemsidan www.arn.se eller adress Box 174, 101 23 Stockholm. Kund som är privatperson kan även klaga via EU:s onlineplattform för tvistlösning som nås via http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.
ALLMÄNNA VILLKOR FÖR
AUKTION ONLINE FÖR KONSUMENTER
1. Bakgrund
1.1. Dessa allmänna villkor för köp via auktioner online (”Villkoren”) gäller när en konsument (”Kund”) gör ett köp via psauction.se och därtill hörande sidor (”Webbplatsen”). Avtal ingås mellan Kund och PS Auction AB, organisationsnummer 556632-1468 (”PS”). För att kunna köpa Auktionsföremål via Webbplatsen måste Kunden acceptera Villkoren. Information om PS behandling av personuppgifter finns i PS Integritetspolicy.
1.2. De föremål som säljs av PS via Webbplatsen (”Auktionsföremålen”) säljs av PS i eget namn men på uppdrag av en säljare som är en tredje part. I PS uppdrag ingår vanligtvis att värdera och upprätta en beskrivning av Auktionsföremålet vars innehåll framgår av punkten 3 i dessa Villkor (”Objektsbeskrivning”). Auktionsföremålen är vanligtvis begagnade och PS strävar efter att Objektsbeskrivningen ska vara så rättvisande som möjligt.
2. Budgivning och avgift för tjänsten
2.1. Auktionsföremålen säljs via auktion online på Webbplatsen. För att kunna delta i en auktion online på Webbplatsen måste Kunden registrera sig som medlem i enlighet med PS vid var tid gällande Auktions- och medlemsvillkor, se Webbplatsen och ovan. Utförlig information avseende PS budgivningstjänst och auktionsförfarandet återfinns i PS Auktions- och medlemsvillkor. Kund som väljer att delta i auktion på Webbplatsen ska följa PS vid var tid gällande regler och anvisningar.
2.2. Den budgivningstjänst som PS tillhandahåller har PS utvecklat över tid genom omfattande investeringar. PS investerar vidare löpande tid och pengar i att utveckla budgivningstjänsten. Om Kunden använder PS budgivningstjänst och lämnar vinnande bud utgår därför en avgift för nyttjande av själva budgivningstjänsten. Avgiften för tjänsten avser att täcka PS kostnader för budgivningstjänsten såsom gjorda investeringar i tjänsten, kostnader för programmerare, IT-support, driftskostnader och andra kostnader som är nödvändiga för att tjänsten ska kunna tillhandhållas. Avgift för tjänsten ska betalas i enlighet med den princip och de belopp som anges på Webbplatsen. Avgift för tjänsten kan variera i storlek beroende på vilket Auktionsföremål det rör sig om. En Kund är skyldig att betala avgiften för tjänsten även om köpet av det aktuella Auktionsföremålet av någon anledning inte fullföljs av Kunden. PS bjuder på avgiften för tjänsten för Kund som inte vinner budgivningen av ett Auktionsföremål. Gällande avgifter för tjänsten framgår på Webbplatsen. Betalning av avgiften för tjänsten genomförs i enlighet med punkten 5 nedan.
2.3. PS skyldigheter att fullfölja köpet i enlighet med dessa Villkor uppkommer först sedan säljaren till Auktionsföremålet godkänt det vinnande budet och faktura avseende Auktionsföremålet skickats till Kund som lagt det vinnande budet eller PS annars bekräftat det vinnande budet, i enlighet med PS vid var tid gällande Auktions- och medlemsvillkor.
3. Objektsbeskrivning
3.1. Auktionsföremål som finns tillgängliga för försäljning på Webbplatsen återges i Objektsbeskrivningen, där följande information anges:
(a) grundläggande beskrivning av Auktionsföremålet och dess huvudsakliga egenskaper;
(b) vid vilken tid och plats Auktionsföremålet finns tillgängligt för eventuell visning;
(c) ett uppskattat marknadsvärde på Auktionsföremålet;
(d) hur Auktionsföremålet kan levereras (om detta är tillämpligt) alternativt hur Auktionsföremålet kan lämnas ut eller ska hämtas; samt
(e) storleken på den avgift för tjänsten som är gällande på avgivet högsta bud.
3.2. Marknadsvärdet som lämnas på Auktionsföremålet baseras på en marknadsanpassad värdering av Auktionsföremålen inför auktionen. Det pris till vilket Auktionsföremålet slutligen säljs kan väsentligen över- eller understiga marknadsvärdet. PS kan inte garantera att Kunden inte kan finna ett liknande Auktionsföremål till ett lägre pris.
3.3. Uppgifter i Objektsbeskrivning kan komma att ändras på grund av tillkommande omständigheter. Eventuella ändringar eller tillägg anslås eller meddelas vid auktionstillfället alternativt anges i Objektsbeskrivningen. I de fall en ändring kan anses vara väsentlig för Auktionsföremålets värde förbehåller sig PS rätten att ta bort Auktionsföremålet från auktionen och Webbplatsen samt rätten att eventuellt återföra Auktionsföremålet med ny Objektsbeskrivning. Om en Objektsbeskrivning har lämnats på olika språk, gäller den svenska versionen i första hand.
4. Varor med digitala delar
4.1 Om Auktionsföremålet är integrerat eller sammankopplat med ett digitalt innehåll eller en digital tjänst gäller dessa Villkor även för det digitala innehållet eller digitala tjänsten, om inget annat uttryckligen anges i dessa Villkor eller i Objektsbeskrivningen.
4.2 PS ska i enlighet med gällande konsumentskyddslagstiftning informera om funktionen hos det digitala innehållet eller tjänsten. PS ska på egen hand eller genom leverantören av den digitala delen informera om och tillhandahålla säkerhetsuppdateringar och andra nödvändiga uppdateringar
5. Visning och undersökningsplikt innan auktion
5.1. Tid och plats för eventuell visning av Auktionsföremål aviseras i Objektsbeskrivningen. Kunden får själv bilda sig en uppfattning om utbjudna Auktionsföremål vid visning på plats och sedan bjuda efter vad Kunden själv anser Auktionsföremålet vara värt. Vid det fall en visning av Auktionsföremålet inte är möjlig ska Kunden efter bästa förmåga bedöma Auktionsföremålet bl.a. genom att studera Objektsbeskrivningen, bilder av Auktionsföremålet samt vid behov konsultera med PS.
5.2. En beskrivning av Auktionsföremålet säljs i befintligt och dess skick finns i Objektsbeskrivningen. Fel och brister kan förekomma på utbjudna Auktionsföremål. PS rekommenderar därför att Kunden noggrant undersöker och bedömer Auktionsföremålets skick och beskaffenhet såväl före köpet samt så snart Kunden har mottagit Auktionsföremålet efter genomfört köp. Avbildning av ett Auktionsföremål i auktionsförteckningen eller Objektsbeskrivningen sker främst i identifieringssyfte och bör inte ensamt användas för avgörande av Auktionsföremålets utförande eller skick. Om PS har anledning att tro att Auktionsföremålet i något avseende avviker från vad som objektivt kan förväntas av Auktionsföremålet ska PS vid köpet informera Kunden om avvikelsen. Om Kunden uttryckligen och separat har godkänt avvikelsen ska Auktionsföremålet inte anses som felaktig.
6. Avgifter och betalning
6.1. Vid budgivning och köp via Webbplatsen gäller de priser som anges på Webbplatsen. Priser och bud presenteras på Webbplatsen exklusive moms om inte annat uttryckligen anges. Vid köp via Webbplatsen tillkommer, utöver avgiften för tjänsten, för varje enskilt Auktionsföremål moms och andra förekommande lagstadgade avgifter på avgivet högsta bud, se Objektsbeskrivningen för mer information. Moms tillkommer även på avgiften för tjänsten.
6.2. Kunden kan betala på sätt som anges på Webbplatsen. Läs mer om våra betalsätt på Webbplatsen. PS har rätt att ta betalt av Kunden redan i samband med det vinnande budet. PS förbehåller sig rätten att inte alltid erbjuda alla betalsätt, alternativt ändra betalsätt om det som Kunden valt av någon anledning inte fungerar vid tillfället för köpet. Observera att eventuella begränsningar för betalningsalternativ anges på Webbplatsen.
6.3.
Betalning ska ske omgående efter att du vunnit auktionen, ditt bud blivit godkänt och PS skickat en faktura till din mail. Om din betalning inte görs omgående kommer PS inom tre (3) kalenderdagar skicka en påminnelse till dig. Om du trots påminnelsen inte betalar kan PS komma att skicka ytterligare en påminnelse till dig. Om betalning inte gjorts inom sju (7) kalenderdagar efter auktionens sluttid har PS rätt att kräva att köpet fullgörs. PS har i sådant fall även rätt att vid utebliven betalning häva köpet och erhålla ersättning för eventuell skada eller förlust, inklusive avgiften för tjänsten.
6.4. Uteblir betalning trots påminnelse från PS och Kunden är mer än trettio (30) dagar sen med betalning från det att betalning skulle ha skett har PS rätt att ta ut dröjsmålsränta och/eller inkassoavgift i enlighet med vad som följer av lag.
6.5. Om köpet hävs enligt punkten 6.3 ovan har PS rätten att, utan att först underrätta den vinnande Kunden, sälja om Auktionsföremålet till det utrops- och bevakningspris som PS finner lämpligt. Vid omförsäljning har PS rätt att från erhållna belopp tillgodogöra sig ersättning för fordringar samt kostnader för försäljning av Auktionsföremålet. Om försäljningspriset inte räcker till att täcka PS fordringar och kostnaden för omförsäljning ska Kunden betala mellanskillnaden.
6.6. Om Kunden befinner sig utanför Sverige skickas fakturan med tillkommande svensk moms. Momsen ska betalas till PS och återbetalas sedan till Kunden när exportdeklaration eller annan handling som styrker att Auktionsföremålet lämnat Sverige kommer PS tillhanda. För att återbetalningen av momsen ska kunna ske måste exporthandlingen vara PS tillhanda senast fjorton (14) dagar efter fakturadatum. Kunden ska även till PS insända fullständig bankinformation såsom IBAN konto, BIC/SWIFT kod samt bankens namn och adress. Kunden ansvarar för all tullhantering av Auktionsföremålet.
7. Avhämtning, undersökning och transport
7.1. Datum och tid för avhämtning av köpt Auktionsföremål anges på orderbekräftelsen, Objektsbeskrivningen eller den faktura som ställts till den vinnande Kunden. PS ansvarar inte för transport, och frakt ingår inte i ett köp av Auktionsföremålet. PS ska lämna Kunden meddelande om när Auktionsföremålet finns tillgängligt för avhämtning. Om inte annat särskilt överenskommits med Kunden ska avhämtning av Auktionsföremålet enligt denna punkt ske på den utlämningsdag som framgår av orderbekräftelsen eller Objektsbeskrivningen. För Auktionsföremål som inte avhämtats inom föreskriven tid har PS rätt att debitera en förvarings- och hanteringsavgift enligt vid var tid gällande prislista som framgår på Webbplatsen. PS kommer i så fall informera Kunden om detta innan. Om Kunden är förhindrad att hämta Auktionsföremålet på utsatt datum och tid måste Kunden kontakta PS enligt den kontaktinformation som angetts av PS.
7.2. Vid avhämtning av Auktionsföremålet ska kvitto på betalning och kopia av faktura eller betalningsbekräftelse medtas. Inropade Auktionsföremål får dock inte avhämtas innan full betalning kommit PS tillhanda.
7.3. Vid avhämtning av Auktionsföremålet bör Kunden undersöka Auktionsföremålet för att säkerställa att Auktionsföremålet inte är felaktigt. Kund som hämtar Auktionsföremål genom ombud eller transportföretag bör skriva under ett leveransgodkännande genom vilket ombudet eller transportföretaget ges mandat att för Kundens räkning undersöka och hämta Auktionsföremålet.
7.4. Om ett Auktionsföremål inte avhämtats på den utlämningsdag som framgår av orderbekräftelsen, fakturan eller Objektsbeskrivningen, har PS rätt att överföra Auktionsföremålet till ett av PS anlitat lagrings-/speditionsföretag, häva och omförsälja i enlighet med de villkor som framgår av punkt 6.3 och 6.5 ovan alternativt kassera Auktionsföremålet. Vid det fall Auktionsföremålet rör fast egendom har Kunden rätt till tillträde vid ett bestämt datum i enlighet med överenskommelse mellan fastighetsägaren och Kunden.
7.5. PS kan efter särskild överenskommelse med Kunden ordna transport av Auktionsföremål. Alla transporter, såväl inom som utom Sverige, sker då normalt med externt avtalad aktör (”Speditör”) och utförs i enlighet med Speditörens gällande regler. Beslut om Speditör kan ske först efter fullgjord betalning. Kunden blir även fakturerad för specifika transportkostnader i enlighet med Speditörens vid var tid gällande prislista som anges på Webbplatsen.
7.6. PS tar ansvar för Auktionsföremål som skadas eller kommer bort när Auktionsföremål levereras till Kunden. Vid eventuella klagomål eller anspråk hänförliga till transporten, exempelvis om Auktionsföremålet har skadats under transporten, ska Kunden omedelbart meddela detta till Speditören och till PS enligt de kontaktuppgifter som anges på Webbplatsen. I det fall PS åtar sig i enskilda fall att emballera och skicka köpta Auktionsföremål, sker detta för Kundens räkning och risken för varan övergår till Kunden när Kunden har mottagit varan. Vid det fall Kunden upptäcker eventuella fel med Auktionsföremålet ska Kunden omedelbart meddela PS detta i enlighet med nedan.
8. Riskövergång
8.1. Ansvaret för Auktionsföremålet övergår från PS till Kunden så snart Kunden, eller av Kunden anlitad transportör, avhämtat Auktionsföremålet. Om Kunden använder en transportör som erbjudits av PS, t.ex. en Speditör, övergår ansvaret från PS till Kunden när Kunden har mottagit Auktionsföremålet.
8.2 Om Auktionsföremålet utgör en vara med digitala delar övergår ansvaret från PS till Kunden när Kunden ges tillgång eller åtkomst till det digitala innehållet, eller till ett medel som är lämpligt för att få tillgång till eller ladda ned det, eller när den digitala tjänsten görs tillgänglig för Kunden.
8.3. PS ansvarar inte för kostnader, skada eller följdskada som drabbat Kunden då Auktionsföremålet inte kan utlämnas av PS på dagen för avhämtning på grund av att Auktionsföremålet efter avslutad auktion blivit stulet vid platsen för avhämtning. PS ansvarar inte heller för kostnader, skada eller följdskada som drabbat Kunden då Auktionsföremålet dragits tillbaka efter avslutad auktion, oavsett anledning för detta. Vid eventuell stöld av Auktionsföremålet eller då PS dragit tillbaka Auktionsföremålet efter avslutad auktion kommer PS att återbetala det belopp Kunden betalat för Auktionsföremålet till Kunden.
9. Ansvar för fel
9.1. En beskrivning av Auktionsföremålet och dess skick finns i Objektsbeskrivningen. För fel i Auktionsföremålet som består i att Auktionsföremålet inte uppfyller avtalade egenskaper eller är i sämre skick än vad Kunden med fog har kunnat förutsätta ansvarar PS enligt nedanstående regler. PS ansvarar endast för fel enligt gällande konsumentskyddslagstiftning och en bedömning av om Kundens vara är felaktig ska alltid ske genom en jämförelse mot en likvärdig begagnad vara.
9.2. PS ansvarar inte för fel som uppkommer efter att Auktionsföremålet har avlämnats till Kunden. För varor med digitala delar ansvarar PS för fel som uppstår i den digitala delen inom tre (3) år från avlämnandet eller under den längre tid som avtalats mellan PS och Kunden avtalstiden. PS ansvarar inte för:
(a) fel, brister eller skador som framgår av auktionsförteckningen eller Objektsbeskrivningen;
(b) fel som Kunden med hänsyn till Auktionsföremålets art, pris eller ålder kunnat förutsätta; eller
(c) fel som Kunden känner till eller borde känt till, exempelvis sådant som Kunden borde uppmärksammat genom att noga läsa igenom Objektsbeskrivningen och studera de bilder som bifogats Auktionsföremålet eller sådant som Kunden märkt eller borde märkt vid sin undersökning av Auktionsföremålet enligt punkten 3 eller punkten 7.3 ovan.
9.3. PS ansvarar inte för fel som beror på att Auktionsföremålet avviker från vad som objektivt kan förväntas av Auktionsföremålet som en begagnad vara om PS vid köpet har informerat Kunden om felet och Kunden uttryckligen och separat har godkänt felet. Det innebär t.ex. att begagnade varor. inte ska anses felaktiga om felet beror på normalt slitage.
9.4. PS ansvarar vidare inte för fel om Auktionsföremålet säljs som ”reparationsobjekt”, och PS vid köpet har informerat Kunden om felet och Kunden uttryckligen och separat har godkänt felet.
9.5. Om Auktionsföremålet inte kan utlämnas efter avslutad auktion kommer PS att återbetala det belopp Kunden betalat för Auktionsföremålet till Kunden, samt även ersätta Kundens kostnader som är förenade med resa till platsen för avhämtning i enlighet med de vid var tid gällande ersättningsnivåer som framgår på Webbplatsen.
9.6. PS ansvarar inte för fel hos Auktionsföremål som sålts för Kronofogdemyndigheten, konkursbo eller på uppdrag av inkassoföretag, eller leasingföretag. Kunden avstår från rätten att göra gällande någon som helst påföljd på grund av fel hos sådant Auktionsföremål. Fel hos Auktionsföremål som sålts för konkursbo får dock göras gällande fram till att konkursen är avslutad.
10. Reklamationer
10.1. Kunden får inte åberopa att Auktionsföremålet är felaktigt om Kunden inte inom nedan angivna tidsfrister lämnar PS meddelande om felet (reklamation).
10.2. Kunden har rätt att reklamera fel som visar sig inom tre (3) år från Kundens köp av Auktionsföremålet på Webbplatsen. För varor med digitala delar kan Kunden reklamera fel inom motsvarande tre (3) år eller under den längre tid som avtalats mellan PS och Kunden. Reklamationsrätten täcker enbart varor som är felaktiga enligt gällande konsumentskyddslagstiftning. Reklamation ska göras inom den tid som följer av gällande konsumentskyddslagstiftning.
10.3. Auktionsföremål som säljs på uppdrag av Kronofogdemyndigheten, konkursbo eller på uppdrag av inkassoföretag eller leasingföretag kan inte reklameras. Auktionsföremål som säljs på uppdrag av konkursbo kan dock reklameras fram till att konkursen är avslutad.
10.4. PS rekommenderar att reklamationer görs enligt vad som anges på Webbplatsen. Ett skriftligt meddelande om reklamation ska innehålla objektnummer och fakturanummer, vilket Auktionsföremål reklamationen avser samt en beskrivning av hur felet yttrar sig. För undvikande av missförstånd utgör ett felaktigt angivet bud inget skäl till reklamation. PS förbehåller sig rätten att neka en reklamation om det visar sig att varan inte är felaktig.
10.5. Vid fel i ett Auktionsföremål har Kunden rätt att välja att PS antingen
(a) i första hand avhjälpa felet; eller
(b) ersätter Kunden med en ersättningsvara
10.6. Om PS inte har möjlighet att kompensera Kunden på det sätt som Kunden väljer enligt punkt 10.5 eller om Kundens val skulle medföra oskäliga kostnader för PS, ska PS kompensera Kunden genom det andra alternativet. Om inte heller det är möjligt eller medför oskäliga kostnader för PS, har PS rätt att efter eget val kompensera Kunden genom att
(a) i första hand avhjälpa felet,
(b) i andra hand utge skälig ersättning till Kunden i form av prisavdrag; eller
(c) i tredje hand ersätta Kunden med en ersättningsvara.
10.7. Vid ersättning med ersättningsvara kan PS inte garantera att Kunden kompenseras med en likvärdig ersättningsvara som Auktionsföremålet med hänsyn till att Auktionsföremålet är en begagnad vara.
10.8. PS står inte för reparationer som utförts av Kunden om denna inte i förväg godkänts av PS.
10.9. Om kompensation enligt punkten 10.5 eller 10.6 inte sker inom skälig tid från det att reklamation avseende fel som PS ansvarar för framställts, dock senast inom trettio (30) dagar, har Kunden rätt att häva köpet efter att ha meddelat PS om detta och mot återlämnande av Auktionsföremålet erhålla det belopp Kunden betalat till PS vid köpet. Någon ytterligare ersättning har Kunden inte rätt till.
10.10. Om Kunden reklamerat och det inte föreligger något fel som PS ansvarar för är PS berättigad till ersättning för sina kostnader.
11. Ångerrätt
11.1. Vid köp av ett Auktionsföremål på Webbplatsen gäller alltid fjorton (14) dagars ångerrätt i enlighet med gällande konsumentskyddslagstiftning. Detta innebär att Kunden har rätt att ångra sitt köp genom att meddela PS detta inom fjorton (14) dagar från det att Kunden eller Kundens ombud hämtat eller tagit emot Auktionsföremålet (ångerfristen).
11.2. Ångerrätten gäller inte vid försäljning av Auktionsföremål som är fast egendom eller av andra varor som ångerrätten enligt lag inte gäller för, exempelvis livsmedel.
11.3. Om Kunden vill ångra köpet av Auktionsföremålet ska Kunden, innan ångerfristen löpt ut, skicka ett klart och tydligt meddelande till PS på det sätt som anges här: Ångra köp & reklamera. Kunden ska ange sitt namn, sin adress och annan relevant information, t.ex. ordernummer, fakturanummer och namn på Auktionsföremålet i meddelandet. Kunden kan istället välja att använda den standardblankett för utövande av ångerrätt som Konsumentverket tagit fram (se följande länk: Ångerblankett Konsumentverket).
11.4. Vid utövande av ångerrätten har Kunden möjlighet att återlämna Auktionsföremål som köpts på Webbplatsen till PS lokaler. Att återlämna ett Auktionsföremål till PS lokaler är kostnadsfritt. Utförliga instruktioner för hur Kunden gör för att utöva sin returrätt finns på Webbplatsen. Om retur sker till PS lokaler ska Kunden ta med sig kvitto på betalning och kopia av faktura eller betalningsbekräftelse.
11.5. Om Kunden vid utövande av sin ångerrätt istället väljer att skicka tillbaka Auktionsföremålet betalar Kunden returfrakten och ansvarar för Auktionsföremålets skick efter det att Kunden har hämtat eller mottagit Auktionsföremålet samt under returfrakten. Auktionsföremålet ska skickas i retur inom fjorton (14) dagar räknat från det datum meddelande om utövande av ångerrätt lämnades till PS. Auktionsföremålet bör skickas väl emballerad och i fint skick. PS rekommenderar att returer görs till PS enligt de metoder och anvisningar som anges på Webbplatsen, du finner dessa här: Ångra köp & reklamera.
11.6. När Kunden ångrar sitt köp betalar PS tillbaka det belopp som Kunden betalat för Auktionsföremålet, inklusive standardleveranskostnader. Undantag gäller för eventuella tillkommande leveranskostnader till följd av att Kunden valt något annat leveranssätt än den standardleverans genom t.ex. Speditör som PS erbjuder. Vid retur av del av order återbetalas leveranskostnaden inte. På det belopp som ska återbetalas har PS rätt att dra av en summa motsvarande Auktionsföremålets värdeminskning jämfört med Auktionsföremålets ursprungliga värde, om och i den mån sådan värdeminskning beror på att Kunden har hanterat Auktionsföremålet i större utsträckning än vad som är nödvändigt för att fastställa dess egenskaper eller funktion.
11.7. PS betalar snarast tillbaka beloppet, dock senast inom fjorton (14) dagar från och med det datum PS tog emot Kundens meddelande om utövande av ångerrätten. PS får dock vänta med återbetalningen tills PS tagit emot Auktionsföremålet eller Kunden har visat att Auktionsföremålet har sänts tillbaka, t.ex. genom ett inlämningskvitto. Återbetalningen kommer att ske till Kunden via det betalningsalternativ som Kunden valde, förutsatt att inte annat överenskommits eller att det finns hinder för sådan återbetalning. Det tillkommer under inga omständigheter några avgifter för Kunden i samband med återbetalningen.
11.8. I enlighet med PS vid var tid gällande Auktions- och medlemsvillkor återbetalas avgiften för budgivningstjänsten inte då Kunden uttryckligen och separat har samtyckt till att tjänsten börjar utföras och att ångerrätten inte gäller.
12. Särskilda villkor vid försäljning av utmätt gods
12.1. PS erbjuder även försäljning av utmätt gods för Kronofogdemyndighetens räkning på Webbplatsen. Vid försäljning av dessa Auktionsföremål gäller särskilda villkor enligt följande.
12.2. Auktionsföremålen säljs på exekutiv anbuds-/auktionsförsäljning för Kronofogdemyndighetens räkning. Kronofogdemyndigheten har rätt att inställa försäljningen eller att inställa vissa Auktionsföremål för försäljning med kort varsel. Auktionsföremålen säljs i det skick som den befinner sig i vid försäljningstillfället. Inga reklamationer eller ångrade köp beaktas.
12.3. PS gör ingen fullständig test av exekutiv försäljningsegendom och Objektsbeskrivningen på Webbplatsen är bara allmän. Kunden måste själv på visningen förvissa sig om Auktionsföremålets skick och kontrollera Objektsbeskrivningen. Auktionsföremålen kan inte godkännas vid avhämtning, utan Kunden är bunden vid sitt vinnande bud oavsett Auktionsföremålets skick.
13. Ändringar av Villkoren
13.1. PS har rätt att ändra dessa Villkor genom att meddela Kunden eller genom införande av de ändrade Villkoren på Webbplatsen. Ändringar i Villkoren gäller från det att Kunden har accepterat Villkoren (i samband med nytt besök på Webbplatsen där godkännandet sker elektroniskt), alternativt trettio (30) dagar efter att PS har informerat Kunden om ändringarna. PS rekommenderar att Kunden håller sig uppdaterad på Webbplatsen regelbundet för att bli varse om eventuella ändringar av Villkoren.

bound by its winning bid regardless of condition.

PS is entitled to amending these Terms by notifying the Customer or by posting the
amended Terms on the Website. Amendments of the Terms shall apply from the

better right pertaining to third parties or any other circumstances beyond PS’s
control, PS shall be released from liability in damages and any other penalties for delay

you represent will be registered as a member with PS.
1.2 The Terms apply for the Customer’s membership with PS, for the use of PS’s website
www.psauction.com and any thereto related sites (the “Website”) and for
the services, e.g. bidding or monitoring of certain objects, which PS provides on the
Website (the “Services”). Upon any purchase and sale of objects on the Website
(“Auction Object”) PS’s at all times applicable General terms and conditions for
online auctions shall apply, as set forth on the Website and below.
1.3 By accepting the Terms, the Customer and its representatives undertakes to comply
with the Terms and acknowledges that they have read the information on personal
data and cookies and approves of the use according to PS’s integrity policy (the “Privacy
Policy”). The Terms, PS’s Privacy Policy and the information PS provides on
the Website, constitute the entire agreement between the Customer and PS with regard
to the use of the Website and PS’s Services.
2. Services – bidding
2.1 PS may from time to time offer different Services, e.g. the possibility to place or
monitor bids. Such Services may be free of charge or be charged with different kinds
of fees. The terms set forth below apply for bidding on the Website.
2.2 Any Customer that wishes to participate in biddings on the Website may participate
if the Terms are complied with. A Customer is not entitled to participate in the bidding
on the Website for objects submitted by said Customer or in any way manipulate
the bidding, e.g. by proxy. PS reserves the right to refrain from sales, disregard
bids and decide whether any bidding shall be re-done subject to any ambiguity of the
final bid.
2.3 A Customer can log in and place a bid at an auction on the Website from start of the
auction until it is closed. There is a given time for each Auction Object cried at an
auction on the Website, when the so called countdown for the auction starts. If a
new bid is placed by a Customer within three (3) minutes from this time, the auction
will continue and the auction time will be extended by another three (3) minutes.
When the bidding has come to a standstill for three (3) minutes, the auction will be
closed. The time for auction close is thus flexible and cannot be predicted. Information
about ongoing auctions together with preliminary closing dates is provided
on the Website.
2.4 There is no fee involved for a Customer to place a bid, but all bids are binding on the
Customer. No bid, which has been placed, may be withdrawn. A Customer winning

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR AUCTIONS
AND MEMBERSHIP
the bidding, shall pay a purchase fee for the Auction Object purchased in accordance
with the principles and the amounts set forth on the Website. The purchase fee may
vary in size depending on which kind of Auction Object that is being put out for
sale. A Customer is obliged to pay the purchase fee even if the purchase of the Auction
Object bid for, for any reason, is not completed. Applicable purchase fees are
set forth on the Website. Payment of the purchase fees shall be made pursuant to
PS’s from time to time applicable General terms and conditions for online auctions,
please see the Website and below.
2.5 An Auction Object placed for auction on the Website has been assigned a minimum
price for which PS is willing to sell the Auction Object (the “Reservation Price”).
The Customer shall place a bid which corresponds to the highest amount the Customer
is willing to pay for the Auction Object (the “Bid”). Any Customer wishing to
place a Bid shall follow the instructions on the Website. Whenever a Customer places
a Bid exceeding the Reservation Price, PS will automatically start an automatic bidder
which will bid, as favourably as possible, on behalf of the Customer up until the Bid.
The winning bid may accordingly be lower than the stated Bid. Please refer to the
Website for further information about Bidding and its function. PS reserves the right
to remove Auction Objects from the Website during ongoing bidding.
2.6 The highest bid given will win the Auction. If two equally high bids have been given,
the Customer, whose bid was first registered with the Service, will win. After a closed
auction, the Customer who has given the highest bid will always enter into a binding
agreement with PS, subject to PS accepting the Customer’s bid by sending an invoice
to the Customer or otherwise confirming the bid pursuant to clause 2.8 below. Applicable
terms for purchase are set forth in PS’s from time to time applicable General
terms and conditions for online auctions. If the Reservation Price has not been met,
the provisions set forth in clause 2.7 below shall apply.
2.7 If an Auction Object has not reached its Reservation Price, PS reserves the right to
not accept the Customer’s bid, but instead post the Auction Object for sale again
without prior contact with the Customer who gave the highest bid. If the Customer’s
bid has been accepted by PS, an invoice will be sent to the Customer without prior
notice from PS. An invoice may accordingly be considered as an acceptance of the
bid by PS. The invoice will be sent to the e-mail address the Customer provided upon
registration and is available for download on the Customer’s page on the Website.
2.8 After and auction has closed, PS will contact the Customer who won the bidding
pursuant to clause 2.6, normally within three (3) business days, by e-mail or telephone
to confirm the bid. This is normally done through PS sending an invoice to
the Customer. Payment for the purchase shall be made pursuant to PS’s from time to
time applicable General terms and conditions for online auctions. The winning Customer
is obliged to be available by telephone and to read e-mails after the auction has
closed. In cases where PS is unable to contact the winning Customer in spite of repeated
attempts, PS is entitled to charge the Customer the purchase fee and to offer
other Customers to buy the Auction Object, unless otherwise expressly specified.

Customer’s password. The Customer is responsible for any acts, e.g. bidding and
purchases made, for which the Customer’s log in has been used.

otherwise violates the Terms, PS is entitled to block the Customer. PS is furthermore

ALLMÄNNA VILLKOR FÖR
AUKTION ONLINE FÖR NÄRINGSIDKARE
1. Bakgrund
1.1. Dessa allmänna villkor för köp via auktioner online (”Villkoren”) gäller när en nä- ringsidkare eller annan juridisk person (”Kund”) gör ett köp via www.psonlineauktioner.se och därtill hörande sidor (”Webbplatsen”). Avtal ingås mellan Kund och PS Auction AB, organisationsnummer 556632-1468 (”PS”). För att kunna köpa Auktionsföremål via Webbplatsen måste Kunden acceptera Villkoren.
1.2. De föremål som säljs av PS via Webbplatsen (”Auktionsföremålen”) säljs av PS i eget namn men på uppdrag av en säljare som är en tredje part. I PS uppdrag ingår vanligtvis att värdera och upprätta en beskrivning av Auktionsföremålet vars innehåll framgår av punkten 3 i dessa Villkor (”Objektsbeskrivning”). Auktionsföremålen är vanligtvis begagnade och PS strävar efter att Objektsbeskrivningen ska vara så rättvisande som möjligt.
2. Budgivning och avgift för tjänst
2.1. Auktionsföremålen säljs via auktion online på Webbplatsen. För att kunna delta i en auktion online på Webbplatsen måste Kunden registrera sig som medlem i enlighet med PS vid var tid gällande Auktions- och medlemsvillkor, se Webbplatsen och ovan. Utförlig information avseende budgivningen och auktionsförfarandet återfinns i PS Auktions- och medlemsvillkor. Kund som väljer att delta i auktion på Webbplatsen ska följa PS vid var tid gällande regler och anvisningar.
2.2. Den budgivningstjänst som PS tillhandahåller har PS utvecklat över tid genom omfattande investeringar. PS investerar vidare löpande tid och pengar i att utveckla budgivningstjänsten. Om Kunden använder PS budgivningstjänst och lämnar vinnande bud utgår därför en avgift för nyttjande av själva budgivningstjänsten. Avgiften för tjänsten avser att täcka PS kostnader för budgivningstjänsten såsom gjorda investeringar i tjänsten, kostnader för programmerare, IT-support, driftskostnader och andra kostnader som är nödvändiga för att tjänsten ska kunna tillhandhållas. Avgiften för tjänsten ska betalas i enlighet med den princip och de belopp som anges på Webbplatsen. Avgiften för tjänsten kan variera i storlek beroende på vilket Auktionsföremål det rör sig om. En Kund är skyldig att betala avgiften för tjänsten även om köpet av det aktuella Auktionsföremålet av någon anledning inte fullföljs av Kunden. PS bjuder på avgiften för tjänsten för Kund som inte vinner budgivningen av ett Auktionsföremål. Gällande avgifter för tjänsten framgår på Webbplatsen. Betalning av avgiften för tjänsten genomförs i enlighet med punkten 5 nedan.
2.3. PS skyldigheter att fullfölja köpet i enlighet med dessa Villkor uppkommer först sedan säljaren till Auktionsföremålet godkänt det vinnande budet och faktura avseende Auktionsföremålet skickats till Kund som lagt det vinnande budet eller PS annars bekräftat det vinnande budet, i enlighet med PS vid var tid gällande Auktions- och medlemsvillkor.
3. Objektsbeskrivning
3.1. Auktionsföremål som finns tillgängliga för försäljning på Webbplatsen återges i Objektsbeskrivningen, där följande information anges:
(a) grundläggande beskrivning av Auktionsföremålet och dess huvudsakliga egenskaper;
(b) vid vilken tid och plats Auktionsföremålet finns tillgängligt för eventuell visning;
(c) ett uppskattat marknadsvärde på Auktionsföremålet;
(d) hur Auktionsföremålet kan levereras (om detta är tillämpligt) alternativt hur Auktionsföremålet kan lämnas ut eller ska hämtas; samt
(e) storleken på den avgift för tjänsten som är gällande på avgivet högsta bud.
3.2. Marknadsvärdet som lämnas på Auktionsföremålet baseras på en marknadsanpassad värdering av Auktionsföremålen inför auktionen. Det pris till vilket Auktionsföremålet slutligen säljs kan väsentligen över- eller understiga marknadsvärdet. PS kan inte garantera att Kunden inte kan finna ett liknande Auktionsföremål till ett lägre pris.
3.3. Uppgifter i Objektsbeskrivningen kan komma att ändras på grund av tillkommande omständigheter. Eventuella ändringar eller tillägg anslås eller meddelas vid auktionstillfället alternativt anges i Objektsbeskrivningen. I de fall en ändring kan anses vara väsentlig för Auktionsföremålets värde förbehåller sig PS rätten att ta bort Auktionsföremålet från auktionen och Webbplatsen samt rätten att eventuellt återföra Auktionsföremålet med ny Objektsbeskrivning. Om en Objektsbeskrivning har lämnats på olika språk, gäller den svenska versionen i första hand.
4. Visning och undersökningsplikt innan auktion
4.1. Tid och plats för eventuell visning av Auktionsföremål aviseras i Objektsbeskrivningen. Kunden får själv bilda sig en uppfattning om utbjudna Auktionsföremål vid visning på plats och sedan bjuda efter vad Kunden själv anser Auktionsföremålet vara värt. Vid det fall en visning av Auktionsföremålet inte är möjlig ska Kunden efter bästa förmåga bedöma Auktionsföremålet bl.a. genom att studera Objektsbeskrivningen, bilder av Auktionsföremålet samt vid behov konsultera med PS.
4.2. Auktionsföremålet och dess skick finns i Objektsbeskrivningen. Kunden har en undersökningsplikt av Auktionsföremålet innan auktionen genomförs på Webbplatsen. Fel och brister kan förekomma på utbjudna Auktionsföremål. Kunden ska därmed noggrant undersöka och bedöma Auktionsföremålets skick och beskaffenhet. Avbildning av ett Auktionsföremål i auktionsförteckningen eller Objektsbeskrivningen sker endast i identifieringssyfte och kan inte användas för avgörande av Auktionsföremålets utförande eller skick. Är väsentlig uppgift i auktionsförteckningen eller Objektsbeskrivningen direkt vilseledande kan detta dock utgöra grund för hävning av köpet.
4.3. PS är inte ansvarig för om Kunden försummar sin undersökningsplikt enligt ovan och ansvarar inte för sådant som Kunden märkt eller borde ha märkt om Kunden fullgjort sin undersökningsplikt.
5. Avgifter och betalning
5.1. Vid budgivning och köp via Webbplatsen gäller de priser som anges på Webbplatsen. Priser och bud presenteras på Webbplatsen exklusive moms om inte annat uttryckligen anges. Vid köp via Webbplatsen tillkommer, utöver avgiften för tjänsten, för varje enskilt Auktionsföremål moms och andra förekommande lagstadgade avgifter på avgivet högsta bud, se Objektsbeskrivningen för mer information. Moms tillkommer även på avgiften för tjänsten. Kunden åtar sig att själv kontrollera om momsen på aktuellt Auktionsföremål är avlyftbar i dennes verksamhet.
5.2. Kunden kan betala på sätt som anges på Webbplatsen. Läs mer om våra betalsätt på Webbplatsen. PS har rätt att ta betalt av Kunden redan i samband med det vinnande budet. PS förbehåller sig rätten att inte alltid erbjuda alla betalsätt, alternativt ändra betalsätt om det som Kunden valt av någon anledning inte fungerar vid tillfället för köpet. Observera att eventuella begränsningar för betalningsalternativ anges på Webbplatsen.
5.3.
Betalning ska ske omgående efter att du vunnit auktionen, ditt bud blivit godkänt och PS skickat en faktura till din mail. Om din betalning inte görs omgående kommer PS inom tre (3) kalenderdagar skicka en påminnelse till dig. Om du trots påminnelsen inte betalar kan PS komma att skicka ytterligare en påminnelse till dig. Om betalning inte gjorts inom sju (7) kalenderdagar efter auktionens sluttid har PS rätt att kräva att köpet fullgörs. PS har i sådant fall även rätt att vid utebliven betalning häva köpet och erhålla ersättning för eventuell skada eller förlust, inklusive avgiften för tjänsten.
5.4. Uteblir betalning trots påminnelse från PS och Kunden är mer än trettio (30) dagar sen med betalning från det att betalning skulle ha skett har PS rätt att ta ut dröjsmålsränta och/eller inkassoavgift i enlighet med vad som följer av lag.
5.5. Om köpet hävs enligt punkten 5.3 ovan har PS rätten att, utan att först underrätta den vinnande Kunden, sälja om Auktionsföremålet till det utrops- och bevakningspris som PS finner lämpligt. Vid omförsäljning har PS rätt att från erhållna belopp tillgodogöra sig ersättning för fordringar samt kostnader för försäljning av Auktionsföremålet. Om försäljningspriset inte räcker till att täcka PS fordringar och kostnaden för omförsäljning ska Kunden betala mellanskillnaden.
5.6. Om Kunden befinner sig utanför Sverige skickas fakturan med tillkommande svensk moms. Momsen ska betalas till PS och återbetalas sedan till Kunden när exportdeklaration eller annan handling som styrker att Auktionsföremålet lämnat Sverige kommer PS tillhanda. För att återbetalningen av momsen ska kunna ske måste exporthandlingen vara PS tillhanda senast fjorton (14) dagar efter fakturadatum. Kunden ska även till PS insända fullständig bankinformation såsom IBAN konto, BIC/SWIFT kod samt bankens namn och adress. Kunden ansvarar för all tullhantering av Auktionsföremålet.
5.7. PS återbetalar endast moms till Kunder utanför Sverige som är registrerade företag med en giltig utländsk adress. Kunder inom EU ska alltid uppge giltigt ”Value Added Tax” (VAT) nummer vid registrering.
6. Avhämtning, undersökning och transport
6.1. Datum och tid för avhämtning av köpt Auktionsföremål anges på orderbekräftelsen, Objektsbeskrivningen eller den faktura som ställts till den vinnande Kunden. PS ansvarar inte för transport, och frakt ingår inte i ett köp av Auktionsföremålet. Leverans ska ske Ex Works anvisad avhämtningsplats (Incoterms 2010). PS ska lämna Kunden meddelande om när Auktionsföremålet finns tillgängligt för avhämtning. Om inte annat särskilt överenskommits med Kunden ska avhämtning av Auktionsföremålet enligt denna punkt ske på den utlämningsdag som framgår av orderbekräftelsen eller Objektsbeskrivningen. För Auktionsföremål som inte avhämtats inom föreskriven tid har PS rätt att debitera en förvarings- och hanteringsavgift enligt vid var tid gällande prislista som framgår på Webbplatsen. Om Kunden är förhindrad att hämta Auktionsföremålet på utsatt datum och tid måste Kunden kontakta PS enligt den kontaktinformation som angetts av PS.
6.2. Vid avhämtning av Auktionsföremålet ska kvitto på betalning och kopia av faktura eller betalningsbekräftelse medtas. Inropade Auktionsföremål får inte avhämtas innan full betalning kommit PS tillhanda.
6.3. Vid avhämtning av Auktionsföremålet är Kunden skyldig att undersöka Auktionsföremålet för att säkerställa att Auktionsföremålet inte är felaktigt. Kund som hämtar Auktionsföremål genom ombud eller transportföretag måste skriva under ett leveransgodkännande genom vilket ombudet eller transportföretaget ges mandat att för Kundens räkning undersöka och hämta Auktionsföremålet.
6.4. Om ett Auktionsföremål inte avhämtats på den utlämningsdag som framgår av orderbekräftelsen eller Objektsbeskrivningen, har PS rätt att överföra Auktionsföremålet till ett av PS anlitat lagrings-/speditionsföretag, häva och omförsälja i enlighet med punkt 5.3 och 5.5 ovan alternativt kassera Auktionsföremålet. Vid det fall Auktionsföremålet rör fast egendom har Kunden rätt till tillträde vid ett bestämt datum i enlighet med överenskommelse mellan fastighetsägaren och Kunden.
6.5. PS kan efter särskild överenskommelse med Kunden ordna transport av Auktionsföremål. Alla transporter, såväl inom som utom Sverige, sker då normalt med externt avtalad aktör (”Speditör”) och utförs i enlighet med Speditörens gällande regler. Beslut om Speditör kan ske först efter fullgjord betalning.
6.6. Vid eventuella klagomål eller anspråk hänförliga till transporten får Kunden vända sig till Speditören direkt.

(d) how the Auction Object may be delivered (if applicable) alternatively how the Auction Object can be handed out or shall be collected; and

PS cannot guarantee that the Customer may not find a similar Auction Object at a lower price.
3.3 Any information given in the Object Description may be changed subject to future circumstances. Any changes or additions are posted or announced at the time of the auction or set forth in the Object Description.

However, PS may delay repayment until PS has received the Auction Object or the Customer has provided proof that the Auction Object has been returned, e.g. by means of cer- tificate of delivery.

covers any defects in the Auction Object, the Customer shall immediately notify PS thereof in accordance with what is set forth below.
7. Liability for defects
7.1 All Auction Objects on the Website are sold as-is, i.e. in the condition in which the Auction Object is found at the time of the auction. For any defects in the Auction Object pertaining to the Auction Object not meeting the agreed characteristics or is in a worse condition than what the Customer with good reason could have expected, PS shall be liable in accordance with the regulations set forth below.
7.2 PS is not responsible for any defects arising after the purchase. PS is neither respon- sible for:
(a) defects due to normal wear and tear of the Auction Object;
(b) faults, defects or damages which are set forth in the auction catalogue or the Object Description;8. Right of withdrawal
8.1 When purchasing an Auction Object on the Website the Customer has a 14 day withdrawal period in accordance with applicable consumer protection legislation (Sw. konsumentskyddslagstiftning). This means that the Customer has the right to cancel
any purchase by notifying PS accordingly within 14 days from when the Customer or its representative collected or received the Auction Object (withdrawal period).
8.2 The right of withdrawal does not apply Auction Objects that constitute real estate property or other objects for which the right of withdrawal is not applicable, e.g. gro- cery.
8.3 If the Customer wishes to withdraw a purchase of an Auction Object, the Clent shall, prior to the expiry of the withdrawal period, send a clear message to PS in the manner set forth here. The Customer shall provide its name, address and other rele- vant information, e.g. order reference, invoice number and the name of the Auction Object in the message. If the Customer prefers not to use the above alternative mes- sage, the Customer may use the standard form for the right of withdrawal provided by the National Board for Consumer Policies (Sw. Konsumentverket) (please see the following link: Standard form Right of Withdrawal ).
8.4 When using its right of withdrawal, the Customer has the possibility of returning the Auction Object to PS’s premises. Any returns to PS’s premises are free of charge. Comprehensive instructions on how the Customer can exercise such return are pro- vided for on the Website. If returns are made to PS’s premises, the Customer shall provide the receipt of purchase and a copy of the invoice or a confirmation of pay- ment.
8.5 If the Customer, when using its right of withdrawal, chooses to send back the Auc- tion Object the Customer shall pay for the return shipping costs and is responsible for the condition of the Auction Object after the Customer has collected or received the Auction Object and during the return shipping. The Auction Object shall be re- turned within 14 days from the date when PS was notified of the withdrawal. The Auction Object shall be sent well packaged and in good condition. Any returns shall be sent to PS in accordance with the methods and directions set forth on the Website which you can find here: Withdraw a purchase.
8.6 When the Customer withdraws its purchase, PS will refund the amount the Customer has paid for the Auction Object, including standard shipping costs. Any additional shipping costs due to the Customer choosing another delivery than the standard delivery through e.g. Forwarding Agents offered by PS are exempted from refund. Plase note that the purchase fee is not subject to repayment, since the Customer provided its consent to the right of withdrawal not being applicable for the service with which the purchase fee is applicable for in accordance with PS’s from time to time applicable General terms and conditions for auctions and membership. Upon return of part of an order, the shipping costs will not be refunded. PS is entitled to deduct an amount from the amount to be refunded, which corresponds to the depreciation in value of the Auction Object compared to the original value of the Auction Object, if and to the extent such depreciation in value is due to the Customer having handled the Auction Object to a greater extent than necessary to determine its function or characteristics.
8.7 PS will pay back the amount without undue delay, however, no later than within 14 days from the date PS received the Customer’s notification of withdrawal. However, PS may delay repayment until PS has received the Auction Object or the Customer has provided proof that the Auction Object has been returned, e.g. by means of cer- tificate of delivery. Repayment will be made to the Customer by the payment method chosen by the Customer, unless otherwise agreed or if there is any objection for such a repayment. Under no circumstances will the Customer be charged any fees in con- nection with the repayment.
