4. Our role
4.1 Our Platform is a marketplace for Buyers and Sellers to initiate a sales transaction. We do not act as an agent of the Buyer or of the Seller in the sales transaction or otherwise, and we do not take possession of any Items. The sales transaction is conducted entirely between the Buyer and the Seller, and the Buyer and Seller are responsible for all costs and expenses in relation to the sales transaction.
4.2 My105 relies on the information provided by Buyers and Sellers in relation to any listings. You:
4.3 Any dispute in relation to a sales transaction must be resolved between the Buyer and Seller without the participation of My105. We recommend that you conduct your own assessments in relation to any listing to ensure that risks in relation to any sales transaction relating to the listing are or will be appropriately addressed.
4.4 Listing details may be amended by My105 at its absolute discretion before or during the Sales Process. My105 agrees to use its reasonable endeavours to notify the Seller in writing of any such amendments within a reasonable time after they are made.

5.4 We may remove any bid made by a Buyer if:
5.5 During the Sales Process, Buyers and Sellers must not conduct any activity designed or intended (whether in whole or in part) to complete or facilitate the sale of an Item outside of our Platform without our written consent. If an Item's sale is concluded through means outside of our Platform, the Seller will be obliged to pay My105's fees in accordance with clause 10.2.
5.6 We cannot guarantee that the Platform will be free from viruses, or that you will have continued and uninterrupted use of our Platform. The Platform may be unavailable for use (for example, for maintenance and security) at any time without notice, whether because of a decision on our part, or otherwise.
6. Seller terms
6.1 Upon the Seller's listing going live on our Platform, the Seller must list that Item with us exclusively for a 7 or 14-day sales period. During this period, without My105's prior written consent, the Seller must not seek to sell, or take any steps to pursue the sale of, the Item other than via the Platform.
6.2 The Seller is responsible for compliance with any applicable laws in relation to the sale of their Item. Sellers warrant that:
6.3 The Seller warrants that upon delivery of any vehicular Item to any Buyer, the vehicle's mileage will be no more than 1,000 kilometres higher than the mileage that appeared on the Seller's listing of the Item.
6.4 If the Seller's failure to disclose to My105 all information which may reasonably be expected to affect the title, value, condition, quality or any other aspect of a listing contributes to the loss of a sale of the relevant Item, the Seller must pay the fees to My105 in accordance with clause 10.2.
6.5 If a Seller withdraws a listing before its close but after a bid has been placed on it, then the Seller must pay the fees detailed in clause 10.2 within seven days of the withdrawal. These fees are non-refundable and apply even if the sale of the Item occurs other than via our Platform.
6.6 Sellers are responsible for all fees if during the Sales Process, without My105's prior written consent, they offer or reference their contact information, or ask for a Buyer's contact information, for the purpose of buying or selling a listed Item outside of My105 and avoiding My105's fees.
6.7 Our Platform uses Stripe to process its payments. You agree to be bound by Stripe's terms and conditions as applicable. This may involve Stripe requesting information from you for the purpose of conducting checks on your identity, assessing your financial condition, pre-authorisation processes, and payment processes. You are not obliged to provide this information, but refusal to do so may affect your ability to make payments through our Platform and Stripe.
6.8 If Stripe is unable to charge the applicable fees from your credit card then you must, within 24 hours of the Sales Process ending, contact us to arrange for immediate payment of the outstanding amount to a bank account of our choosing. If the Seller does not make the applicable payment within 24 hours of receiving our instructions (or such further time that My105 allows), the Seller remains liable to My105 for the outstanding fees and My105 is entitled to take any actions necessary to recover those amounts.
6.9 We may modify our fees from time to time in accordance with clause 12. However, our fees will not change for a Sales Process that has already commenced.
7. Buyer terms
7.1 Buyers warrant that:
7.2 Buyers acknowledge that photographs and illustrations used in listings are for identification purposes only. They may contain inaccuracies, for example they may not represent the true condition and colour of the Item. We recommend that Buyers take precautions such as those listed in clause 2.4.
7.3 Buyers agree that each bid submitted as part of the Sales Process is a legally binding offer by the Buyer to the Seller to purchase the Item if the bid is successful. The bid and the offer cannot be withdrawn.
7.4 When a Buyer submits a bid, our third-party payment services provider, Stripe, may place a hold on the Buyer's credit or debit card for the fee payable if the Buyer is the successful bidder. The Buyer's payment details will be provided directly to Stripe.

7.6 My105's service fee does not include any transport or on-road costs, for example stamp duty and registration. It is the responsibility of the Buyer and the Seller to negotiate and arrange for the payment of such costs, with no involvement of My105.
7.7 If the Buyer fails to complete the purchase of the Item for any reason other than the Seller's default, the Buyer remains obliged to pay our fees as provided in clause 10.1. The Seller will be able to sell their Item to the next highest bidder.
7.8 Our Platform uses Stripe to process its payments. You agree to be bound by Stripe's terms and conditions as applicable. This may involve Stripe requesting information from you for the purpose of conducting checks on your identity, assessing your financial condition, pre-authorisation processes, and payment processes. You are not obliged to provide this information, but refusal to do so may affect your ability to make payments through our Platform and Stripe. If any payment is declined by Stripe, your bid may be cancelled by us.
7.9 If Stripe is unable to charge the applicable fees from your credit card then you must, within 24 hours of the Sales Process ending, contact us to arrange for payment of the outstanding amounts to a bank account of our choosing.
