an irrevocable offer to purchase. Once you place a bid on our Site, or

provide to GSA.

c. You may place a max bid on listed Product(s). When you place a max
bid, GSA?s bidding technology should automatically place bids on your
behalf, using the smallest increment necessary to ensure you remain
the high bidder until your max bid is met. If another bidder has placed
the same bid before you, or a max bid that is higher than yours, GSA will
attempt to let you know that you have been outbid. In that situation,
you may attempt to place another bid within the specific auction time.
d. Auctions may have time extensions. If a Seller elects to use a time
extension for listed Product(s), the bidding period on the listed
Product(s) may be extended when a higher bid than the then-current
top bid is placed prior to expiration of that auction. The bidding period
will continue as long as such higher bids are being placed within the
time extension designated by the Seller.
e. GSA reserves the right to withdraw, postpone, or cancel any listed
Product(s), in our sole discretion, with or without notice. GSA shall have
no liability to you as a result of any withdrawal, postponement, or
cancellation of a listed Product(s) sale.
f. GSA reserves the right to void a bid that you place, whether winning or
not, which we believe (i) has not been made in good faith and in
accordance with these Bidder Terms and the GSA Terms; or (ii) is
intended to manipulate our Services.

determination with respect to the sale of listed Product(s).

PROCESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER. ANY BIDS OF EQUAL AMOUNTS MAY
BE SELECTED AT THE AUCTIONEER?S SOLE DISCRETION, IF RECEIVED AT
APPROXIMATELY THE SAME TIME.
9. Prohibited Bidder Conduct. Any deliberate attempt to artificially influence
the sale price of any listed Product(s), directly or indirectly, including but not
limited to bidding through a secondary account, agent, or representative,
bidding on listed Product(s) that you may also be selling, communicating with
other Bidders, or chill bidding is expressly prohibited.

set forth in the Terms for GSA?s Sites and Services, you, as the Bidder, agree to
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GSA and its owners, members,
managers, employees, officers, agents, attorneys and representatives
(collectively the ?Indemnified Parties??) from and against any and all demands,

claims, causes of action, damages, costs, fees or other liability (including

bid on online auctions.

on Bidder?s examination of the listing?s Product photographs. If any item is removed
from its holder, the Bidder waives all rights to asserts any claims or demands
concerning that item and lot and waive any right to retain that item or lot.

election to cancel a sale does not relieve the successful Bidder from
their obligation to pay GSA its fees (seller?s and buyer?s premium) on
the Product listing and any other damages pertaining to Bidder?s
failure to tender payment. Alternatively, GSA at its sole option, may
charge Bidder a twenty-five percent (25%) fee based on the Product?s
purchase price or pursue collection of the full amount of the
winning/??Buy It Now?? bid from the Bidder adding interest at the
highest rate allowed by law and reasonable attorneys? fees. If
payment is not received by GSA within thirty (30) days of the

may offset the amount of its claim against any monies owing to the
Bidder and secure its claim against any of the Bidder?s property held
by GSA.

or ?Buy it Now?? invoice submitted by GSA to Bidder is not paid in full
when due, the unpaid balance will bear interest at the highest rate
permitted by law from the date of invoice until paid. Any invoice not
paid when due will bear a three percent (3%) late fee on the invoice
amount. If GSA refers any invoice to an attorney or third-party for
collection, Bidder agrees to pay GSA?s reasonable attorney?s fees,
court costs, and other collection costs incurred by GSA.
In the event the Bidder fails to pay any amounts due, Bidder
authorizes GSA to charge the Bidder?s credit card on file with GSA in
the amount required to pay the invoice in full (plus the applicable
surcharge) or sell the Product(s) securing the invoice to any
underbidders in the Auction that the Product(s) appeared, or at
subsequent private or public sale, or relist the Product(s) in a future
Auction or ?Buy it Now?? listing by GSA. A defaulting Bidder agrees

that all items may be resold by GSA thirty (30) days after the invoice
date, and agrees to pay for the reasonable costs for resale (including,
but not limited to, a 15% seller?s commission, if consigned to an
Auction conducted by GSA). The defaulting Bidder is liable to pay any
difference between the total original invoice for the Product(s) if sold

under Article 9 of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code, including,
but not limited to, the right of sale (including a 15% seller?s
commission, if consigned to an Auction conducted by GSA). If the
Bidder receives any Product, Bidder agrees to hold such item in trust
until GSA is paid in full. Any GSA auction is deemed a reasonably
commercial sale. In addition, with respect to payment of invoices,
Bidder waives any and all rights to offset he/she/it might otherwise
have against GSA and the consignor of the Product(s) included in the
invoice. If Bidder owes GSA on any account, GSA shall have the right
to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and
it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the
Bidder?s property in its possession.
In the event the Bidder?s payment is dishonored upon presentment,
Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by
applicable Texas state law, interest at the maximum rate allowed by
law, and reasonable attorneys? fees.
e. TAXES, DUTIES, AND CUSTOMS. Purchased Products may be
subject to taxes, duties, customs and/or fees imposed by various
domestic and/or foreign taxing authorities or governments. Bidder

is solely responsible for payment of any and all such taxes, duties,
customs and/or fees prior to delivery unless alternative
arrangements are made in writing and pre-approved by GSA.

and all restrictions in their country or place of residence and takes
responsibility for: (1) obtaining all information on such restricted
items for both export and import; (2) obtaining all such licenses
and/or permits. Delay, failure, or inability to obtain any such license
or permit does not relieve the buyer of timely payment or afford
them the capacity to void their purchase or payment. Lots and
Products containing potentially regulated wildlife material may be
noted in the description as a convenience to GSA?s Bidders/Sellers.
GSA does not accept liability for errors or failure to mark lots or
Products containing protected, endangered, or otherwise regulated
species. GSA is not liable for any loss caused by or resulting from: (1)
seizure or destruction under quarantine or Customs regulation or
confiscation by order of any government or public authority, or risks
of contraband or illegal transportation of trade, or (2) breaking of
statuary, marble, glassware bric-a-brac, porcelains, jewelry, and
similar fragile articles.

10. PRODUCT SHIPPING & HANDLING / IN-PERSON PICK UP. By
submitting a bid or selecting a ?Buy it Now?? purchase, the Seller and Bidder agree to
GSA's shipping and handling policy and other charges, whether known or unknown
to bidder at the time of bid. GSA does not personally transport or deliver Products
unless in-person pick up at a secure location (not GSA?s office) is pre-arranged by
Bidder with GSA. Unless otherwise noted, GSA shall coordinate shipping of Products
to successful Bidders through reputable third-party shipping service providers such
as the United States Postal Service (USPS), United Parcel Service of America, Inc.
(UPS), FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. (FedEx), Deutsche Post AG (DHL), or the like.
GSA does not guarantee delivery of purchased Products by a specified date, or at all,
due to reliance upon third-party shipping companies. While GSA implements
commercially reasonable efforts to initiate shipping with third-party shippers within
seventy-two (72) business hours of full and final payment, Bidder agrees that neither
delivery of an item after the date desired or expected by Bidder, or loss of an item by
a third-party delivery service, gives rise to grounds for a partial or complete refund
or a credit card chargeback. Bidders understand, acknowledge and agree that once
GSA turns over a purchased Product to a third-party shipper, Bidders? sole recourse
for any alleged lost or delayed Product shall be directly through the third-party
shipper and applicable its applicable insurance policy. Shipping & Handling fees shall
be included in the successful Bidder?s Product invoice. Shipping & Handling fees are
subject to change. All deliveries are subject to GSA?s receipt and clearance of good
funds.
11. NO GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES. NO WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE IS MADE OR IMPLIED
ON ANY PRODUCT/LOT. NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS MADE
WITH RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCT/LOT EXCEPT FOR WARRANTY OF TITLE, AND IN THE
CASE OF TITLE, GSA IS SELLING ONLY THAT RIGHT OR TITLE TO THE PRODUCT/LOT
THAT THE SELLER OR CONSIGNOR MAY HAVE AS OF THE AUCTION OR ?BUY IT NOW??
SALE DATE. IF A PRODUCT/LOT IS BEING AUCTIONED OR SOLD THROUGH A ?BUY IT
NOW?? SALE ON A CONSIGNMENT BASIS OR AS AN AUCTION ITEM, GSA DISCLAIMS
AND MAKES NO WARRANTY OF TITLE AS SUCH PRODUCTS PURCHASED PASS
DIRECTLY FROM THE SELLER/CONSIGNER TO SUCCESSFUL BIDDER. ALL
PRODUCTS/LOTS ARE SOLD ?AS IS??, WHERE IS, AND WITH ALL FAULTS. NO
WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY
DESCRIPTION, GRADE, OR PURPORTED VALUE CONTAINED IN ANY AUCTION OR ?BUY

IT NOW?? LISTING. BIDDERS AND SELLERS AGREE THAT GSA IS NOT PROVIDING ANY
WARRANTY, COVENANT OR REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS
SOLD OR AUCTIONED THROUGH THE GSA SITE. BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS
CONCERNING AND RELATED TO THE GRADING, QUALITY, DESCRIPTION, CONDITION,
AND PROVENANCE OF A PRODUCT/LOT.
COINS AND CURRENCY LISTED IN GSA?S CATALOG AS GRADED AND
ENCAPSULATED BY PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG, PCGS CURRENCY, PMG, PCGS
BANKNOTE GRADING, CMC OR ANY OTHER THIRD-PARTY GRADING SERVICE ARE
LIKEWISE SOLD ?AS-IS?? EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN. ALL THIRD-PARTY
GRADING SERVICE GUARANTEES, INCLUDING AUTHENTICITY, ARE THE SOLE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE THIRD-PARTY GRADING SERVICE AND NOT WARRANTIES OR
GUARANTEES OF GSA. BIDDERS SHOULD CONTACT THESE THIRD-PARTY GRADING
SERVICES DIRECTLY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS OR QUESTIONS THEY MAY HAVE
CONCERNING THEIR GUARANTEES AND WARRANTIES. BIDDERS ACKNOWLEDGE
AND AGREE THAT AUCTIONEER IS NOT BOUND BY OR LIABLE FOR ANY OPINION OR
CERTIFICATION BY ANY THIRD-PARTY GRADING SERVICE. REMOVAL OF A PRODUCT
FROM ITS PROTECTIVE CASING OR HOLDER OR ALTERATION OF ANY COIN HOLDER
WAIVES ALL RIGHTS CONCERNING THE PRODUCT CONTAINED THEREIN.
GSA DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR COVENANT THE ACCURACY OF THE PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION OR THAT THE IMAGES USED TO ILLUSTRATE PRODUCTS ARE CORRECT
OR DO NOT VIOLATE TRADEMARKS OR COPYRIGHTS. GSA HAS NOT UNDERTAKEN
ANY REVIEW OR DUE DILIGENCE WITH RESPECT TO THE INFORMATION CONTAINED
ON THE GSA SITE AND PROVIDES NO GUARANTEES, COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS
OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO SAID INFORMATION OR ITS ACCURACY. YOU
AGREE YOU DO NOT RELY ON ANY WRITTEN DESCRIPTIONS, BUT WILL ONLY BID
BASED ON EXAMINATION OF THE PRODUCT/LOT PHOTOGRAPHS POSTED IN
CONNECTION WITH THE AUTION OR ?BUY IT NOW?? LISTING. You hereby
acknowledge that the GSA Sites, the data entered into the Sites, and/or the Seller's
auction or ?Buy it Now?? information may contain errors or inaccuracies.
You understand, acknowledge and agree that the numismatic and precious
metals markets are speculative, unregulated and volatile, and that coin, currency and
precious metal values may rise or fall over time. GSA DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR
REPRESENT THAT ANY BIDDER BUYER PRODUCTS FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES WILL
BE ABLE TO SELL SAID PRODUCTS FOR A PROFIT IN THE FUTURE.

You further understand, acknowledge and agree that neither GSA, nor its
owners, members, employees, affiliates, agents, representatives, third-party
providers, or consignors warrant that Auctions or ?Buy it Now?? listings will be
unimpaired, uninterrupted or error free and accordingly shall not be liable for such
events.
12. CREDIT CARD CHARGEBACKS PROHIBITED. The ?Limited Returns??
provision set forth herein below provides the limited availability and procedure for
facilitating Product returns in specified situation. Absent the express eligibility and
strict adherence to the procedures for facilitating a return (which must be
preauthorized by GSA in writing), Bidders shall not be entitled to return Product(s),
partial or full refunds, wire recalls, stop payments on checks or credit/debit cards, or
the initiation of a chargeback claim with a Bidder?s credit/debit card provider. BIDDER
UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THERE EXIST NO LEGAL BASIS
FOR INITIATING A CHARGEBACK CLAIM FOR ANY PURCHASED PRODUCT, AND
BIDDER SPECIFICALLY AGREES TO REFRAIN FROM THE FILING OF ANY SUCH CLAIM.
In the event a Bidder does not receive a purchased Product within thirty (30) days of
payment, or the Bidder takes issue with a Product?s grading or condition, Bidder?s
only recourse shall be against the third-party shipping company?s insurance and/or
the appropriate grading service.
13. LIMITED RETURNS. The following terms shall govern the limited return
policy available some Bidders for certain Product(s) under limited circumstances and
only upon written pre-approval from a GSA authorized representative.
a. No certified Product(s) may be returned because of possible
difference of opinion with respect to the grade offered by any thirdparty organization, dealer or service. No guarantee of grade is
offered for uncertified Product(s) sold and subsequently submitted
to a third-party grading service. There are absolutely no exceptions
to this policy. Bidder will solely rely upon the posted photographs of
the Product/Lot, and agrees Bidder will not rely upon the written
description.
b. Under extremely limited circumstances (e.g. gross cataloging error),
a successful Bidder may request GSA to evaluate voiding a sale, if
and only if: (i) such request is made in writing detailing the alleged

gross error and submitted to GSA (at info@bidgoldstandard.com)
within three (3) days of receipt of the Product(s); (ii) submission of
the Product(s) to GSA are pre-approved by an authorized GSA
representative; and (iii) the successful Bidder notifies GSA (13859
Diplomat Drive, #150, Dallas, TX 75234) in writing of such request
within three (3) days of the Bidder?s receipt of the Product(s). Any
Product that is to be evaluated must be in GSA?s office (13859
Diplomat Drive, #150, Dallas, TX 75234) within thirty (30) days after
the conclusion of the Product(s) auction. Grading or method of
manufacture do not qualify for this evaluation process nor do such
complaints constitute a basis to challenge the authenticity of
Product(s). AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE AFOREMENTIONED THIRTY
(30) DAY PERIOD, NO PRODUCTS MAY BE RETURNED FOR REASONS
OTHER THAN AUTHENTICITY. IT IS WITHIN GSA?S SOLE DISCRETION
TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE ALLEGED ERROR QUALIFIES FOR A
PARTIAL, COMPLETE, OR NO REFUND (SUBJECT TO A 15%
RESTOCKING FEE SET FORTH HEREIN). Returned Products must be
housed intact in their unaltered original holders or packaging. Late
remittance of payment for purchases may be considered just cause
to revoke all return privileges.
c. THREE (3) DAY RETURN POLICY. Certified Coin and Uncertified and
Certified Currency lots paid for within seven (7) days of the auction
or ?Buy it Now?? salemay be sold with three (3) day return privileges
(only upon written pre-approval by GSA) unless otherwise noted in
the description as ?Sold As Is / No Return??. You may return Product(s)
under the following limited conditions with written pre-approval
from GSA: (i) within three (3) days of receipt of the Product(s), you
must first notify GSA by email (at info@bidgoldstandard.com) and
telephone (972-800-6456), obtain written pre-approval via email,
and immediately ship the return Product(s) in their original
condition, fully insured, and housed in their original holder or
packaging, to the attention of ?GOLD STANDARD AUCTIONS, LLC ?
RETURNS, 13859 Diplomat Drive, #150, Dallas, TX 75234.?? Said return
Product(s) must be in GSA?s possession, custody and control within
thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the Product(s) auction or such

return privileges are revoked without further notice and the late
Product will be shipped back to the Bidder at his/her/its sole
expense. A non-negotiable restocking fee of fifteen percent (15%) of
the purchase price ($10.00 per Product/lot minimum) will be
deducted from the refund for each returned Product (or billed
directly to the Bidder). Postage and handling, customs, and other
fees are not refunded. After the three-day period (from Bidder?s
receipt), no Product(s) may be returned for any reason. Late
remittance for purchases revokes all return privileges.
d. Bidders who have inspected the Product(s) in-person prior to an
auction or ?Buy it Now?? purchase, or bid through an agent, will not
be granted any return privileges, except for reasons of authenticity.
e. Coins sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold ?AS IS??
without any express or implied warranty, except for a guarantee by
GSA that they are genuine. Removal or alteration of the holder, voids
all of Bidder?s claims concerning that Product. Certain warranties
may be available from the grading services and Bidders are referred
to them for further details: Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC),
PO Box 4776, Sarasota, FL 34230,
www.ngccoin.com/services/writtenguarantee.asp; Professional Coin
Grading Services (PCGS), PO Box 9458, Newport Beach, CA 92658,
www.pcgs.com/guarantee.html; ANACS, 6555 S. Kenton St., Ste. 303,
Englewood, CO 80111; and Independent Coin Grading Co. (ICG),
7901 East Bellview, Ave., Suite 50, Englewood, CO 80111.
f. Notes sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold ?AS IS??
without any express or implied warranty, except for guarantee by
GSA that they are genuine. Grading, condition or other attributes of
any Product may have a material effect on its value and the opinion
of others, including third-party grading services such as PCGS
Currency and PMG may differ with that of GSA. GSA shall not be
bound by any prior or subsequent opinion, determination, or
certification by any grading service. Bidders specifically waive any
claim to right of return of any Product because of the opinion,

determination, or certification, or lack thereof, by any grading
service. Certain warranties may be available from the grading
services and Bidders are referred to them for further details: Paper
Money Guaranty (PMG), PO Box 4711, Sarasota, FL 34230; PCGS
Currency, PO Box 10470, Peoria, IL 61612-0470; PCGS Gold Shield,
PO Box 9458, Newport Beach, CA 92658. Third-party graded notes
are not returnable for any reason whatsoever.
g. Notes graded by PCGS Currency between February 4, 2009, and
January 30, 2019, were graded and authenticated by K3B, Inc. under
license from Collectors Universe, Inc. K3B, Inc., now operating as
Legacy Currency Grading, has expressed in writing that notes graded
under the license during this time period will still be covered by the
full written guaranty of PCGS Currency. Warranties may be available
from Collectors Universe, Inc. for PCGS Currency notes graded prior
to February 4, 2009.
h. Since GSA cannot examine encapsulated coins or notes, they are
sold ?AS IS?? without GSA?s grading opinion, and may not be returned
for any reason. GSA shall not be liable for any patent or latent defect
or controversy pertaining to or arising from any encapsulated
Product. In any such instance, Bidder?s remedy, if any, shall be solely
against the service certifying the Product.
i. Due to changing grading standards over time, differing
interpretations, and to possible mishandling of Products by
subsequent owners, GSA reserves the right to express an opinion as
to an item?s grade differently than shown on certificates from any
grading service that accompany the Product, but shall have no
obligation to do so. GSA also reserves the right to express an opinion
as to a product?s grade differently than the grades shown in a prior
catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction or
?Buy it Now?? sale, but shall have no obligation to do so.
j. Although consensus grading is employed by most grading services,
it should be noted as aforesaid that grading is not an exact science.

In fact, it is entirely possible that if a Product is broken out of a plastic
holder and resubmitted to another grading service or even to the
same service, the Product could come back with a different grade
assigned.
k. Certification does not guarantee protection against the normal risks
associated with potentially volatile markets. The degree of liquidity
for certified coins and collectibles will vary according to general
market conditions and the particular lot involved. For some Products
there may be no active market at all at certain points in time.
l. All non-certified coins and currency are guaranteed genuine, but are
not guaranteed as to grade, since grading is a matter of opinion, an
art and not a science, and therefore the description rendered by GSA
or any third-party grading service may not agree with the opinion of
others (including trained experts), and the same expert may not
grade the same item with the same grade at two different times. GSA
may, but is not obligated to, express an opinion as to non-certified
numismatic items, in GSA?s opinion, or by its employees? experience
and the current interpretation of the American Numismatic
Association?s standards as of the date the catalog was prepared.
There is no guarantee or warranty expressed or implied that the
grading opinions utilized by GSA, if any, will meet the standards of
any grading service at any time in the future.
m. Storage of purchased coins, tokens and currency: Bidders
understand and acknowledge that certain types of plastic may react
with a coin, token or currency?s surface or transfer plasticizer to
notes and may cause damage. You understand, acknowledge and
agree that you shall exercise caution to avoid the use of storage
materials that are not inert.
14. RESTOCKING FEE. All Products which qualify for return and are
returned in strict conformity with the notice and physical return requirements set

forth herein, shall be subject to a mandatory restocking fee equal to twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Product?s Auction or ?Buy it Now?? purchase price.
15. WAIVER, RELEASE AND LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY. IN
CONSIDERATION OF PARTICIPATION IN GSA AUCTIONS OR ?BUY IT NOW??
LISTINGS, YOU, FOR YOURSELF, YOUR HEIRS, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, AND
ASSIGNS, GENERALLY AND SPECIFICALLY WAIVE AND RELEASE, AND FOREVER

THAT MAY ARISE HEREUNDER OR BE RELATED TO THE SERVICES, AUCTION, ?BUY
IT NOW?? LISTING, THE SITES, AND/OR THE PRODUCT(S), AND YOU HEREBY
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ANY AND ALL PURPORTED RIGHTS AND
BENEFITS OTHERWISE CONFERRED UPON YOU BY STATUTE OR COMMON LAW.
YOU ASSUME ANY AND ALL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF GSA
SERVICES AND THE SITES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL GSA, ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS,
DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ITS AFFILIATES, OR REPRESENTATIVES, BE
LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR
LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS
INFORMATION, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, TIME VALUE OR OTHER
PECUNIARY LOSS AND/OR CLAIMS UNDER THE TEXAS DECEPTIVE TRADE

PRACTICES ACT OR SIMILAR STATUTE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE GSA SERVICES
AND/OR SITES, OR NEGLIGENCE OF GSA OR OF ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, OR REPRESENTATIVES. ALL RIGHT TO A JURY
TRIAL IS WAIVED. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL YOU SEEK ANY DAMAGES
EXCEEDING THE AMOUNT PAID FOR AN ITEM OR LOT.
16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION AND REMEDIES. In
consideration of the privilege to participate in GSA Auctions and sell or purchase
Products through an Auction or ?Buy it Now?? listing, you accept the terms set forth in
this Agreement and specifically agree to the dispute resolution provisions provided
herein.
a. Exclusive Dispute Resolution Process: All Claims, disputes, or
controversies arising out of, in connection with, and/or relating to: (i)
your use of the Sites, (ii) participation in an Auction or ?Buy it Now??
listing, (iii) purchase or sale of a Product, (iv) any interpretation of the
Terms or any amendments thereto, (v) any description of any
Product/lot or condition report, (vi) any damage to any Product, (vii)
any alleged verbal modification of any Term or condition report or
description, and/or (viii) any purported settlement whether asserted
in contract, tort, under federal or state statute or regulation, or any
claim made by you concerning a Product or your participation in an
Auction or ?Buy it Now?? sale involving a warranty or representation
of a consignor, other person, or entity, including GSA (collectively a
?Claim??) shall be exclusively heard by, and the claimant (or
respondent) and GSA each consent to the Claim being adjudicated
through confidential, binding, in-person arbitration before a single
arbitrator administered by and conducted under the rules of the
American Arbitration Association (AAA) as the buyer?s sole remedy.
The locale for all such arbitrations shall be in-person in Dallas, Dallas
County, Texas. The arbitrator?s award may be enforced in any court
of competent jurisdiction within Dallas, Dallas County, Texas. In the
event a Claim must be litigated after an arbitration demand is filed
with the AAA (including actions to compel arbitration, construe this
Agreement, actions in aid of arbitration, or otherwise), such litigation

shall be exclusively in the courts of the State of Texas, in Dallas
County, Texas, and if necessary, the corresponding appellate courts.
YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU AGREE
THAT IN-PERSON ARBITRATION IS YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR ANY
AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST OR INVOLVING GSA.
b. Fees, Costs and Interest: Each party shall pay one-half of any
anticipated arbitration fees to initiate the process. The prevailing
party (a party that is awarded substantial and material relief on its
liability and damage claim based on damages sought versus
awarded or the successful defense of a Claim based on damages
sought versus awarded) may be awarded reasonable attorney?s fees,
costs and applicable pre- and post-award interest by an arbitrator
and/or subsequent court of competent jurisdiction.
c. Remedies: Any Claim must be brought within two (2) years of the
alleged breach, default, or misrepresentation or the Claim is waived.
GSA?s maximum liability shall be limited to any commission and fees
GSA earned on that Product. GSA in no event shall be responsible for
consequential, incidental, compensatory, or any other damages (set
forth herein including those claimed under the Texas Deceptive
Trade Practices Act) arising or claimed to be arising from the Auction
or ?Buy it Now?? sale. Exemplary and punitive damages are not
recoverable and are waived. In the event GSA cannot deliver a
Product or it is subsequently established that the Product lacks title,
or other transfer or condition issue is claimed, in such cases the sole
remedy shall be limited at most to rescission of the sale and refund
of the amount paid by Bidder; in no case shall GSA?s maximum
cumulative liability exceed the high bid on the Product, which bid
shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the Product. In the
event of an attribution error, GSA may, at its sole discretion, correct
the error on the internet/Site, or, if discovered at a later date, refund
Bidder?s purchase price without further obligation. Nothing herein
shall be construed to extend the time of return or conditions and
restrictions for return.

d. These Terms provide specific remedies for occurrences in the
Auction or ?Buy it Now?? listing and delivery process. Where such
remedies are afforded, they shall be interpreted strictly. You agree
that any Claim shall utilize such remedies. In the event you make a
Claim in excess of those remedies provided in these Terms, you
agree that in no case whatsoever shall GSA?s maximum liability
exceed the high bid on the Product, which bid shall be deemed for
all purposes the value of the Product.
e. Failure to participate in the arbitration is a default and material
breach of this Agreement.
f. GSA reserves the right to initiate a lawsuit, instead of arbitration, for
any unpaid amounts due from Bidder to GSA, and the parties agree.
GSA is entitled to the additional recovery of its costs, expenses,
attorney?s fees, and interest in such matter if you breach any
provision of these Terms and Conditions.
17.GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. This Agreement, the Bidder Terms &
Conditions, the Seller Terms & Conditions, and any Claim shall be determined
and construed in accordance with Texas state law. Any and all Claims
submitted to arbitration and subsequent litigation shall be exclusively heard
by a single arbitrator (or subsequently by a court of competent jurisdiction) in
Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, where all obligations under this Agreement are
performable.

by email to the email address provide by you to GSA during the Seller/Bidder
registration process. Notices to GSA shall be given by email to
