Adding an auction listing for sale on our site

The minimum reserve price is £500.00, do not submit listing with a value less than this.

If the lot is subject to finance, this must be settled in full before submitting the listing for Auction.

FreeBoatSeller.co.uk will consider the proposed Auction Listing and confirm if the Auction Listing is accepted to be listed on the Site.

FreeBoatSeller.co.uk may assist Sellers in the creation of their listings (including the content of such listings) but it remains each Seller’s sole responsibility to make sure that its listings are accurate.

There will be a “Waiting Preparation” period where you will need to wait for the Auction Listing to go live. This “Waiting Preparation” period can take up to 14 days from the date on which FreeBoatSeller.co.uk receives the complete “Waiting Preparation” information (specifically the description of the Boat, photographs or any other information reasonably requested by FreeBoatSeller.co.uk to enable it to consider the Listing).

During the “Waiting Preparation” period FreeBoatSeller.co.uk may put the Auction Listing on the “Waiting Preparation” list on the Site.

After the Auction Listing is accepted, you shall be committed to have the Auction Listing with us exclusively for the “Live Auction” period together with any extension.

This means that during this period, you shall not use another means of sale unless we agree and notify you in writing of our consent.

Due to the nature of an online auction, it is not possible for us to run a Live Auction if you use another platform to sell your Auction Lot. Therefore, we require you to exclusively use this Site to sell your Auction Lot, once we have accepted the Auction Listing.

You can add a reserve for the Auction Listing. Once a reserve is agreed by us, you may reduce it or withdraw it by written notice to FreeBoatSeller.co.uk, but you cannot increase it without our prior written consent. A decision to remove or lower a reserve is final. A Seller acknowledges and accepts responsibility and any associated risk connected with that decision.

Any estimates given, whether written or oral, as to the estimated selling price of any Auction Lot is a statement of opinion only and may be subject to revision from time to time at our sole discretion and should not be relied upon as an indication of the actual selling price.

If you are a Seller submitting an Auction Listing for sale on our Site: you are solely responsible for the factual accuracy of, and for any judgments or opinions expressed in, the description of each Auction Listing entered by you, and for any error, misstatement or omission of information in that description, as well as the condition, authenticity and quality of the Auction Listing.

If you are a Seller, you represent and warrant that you are the legal owner of the Auction Lot and free to sell the Auction Lot listed on the Site and that you will complete the sale of the Auction Lot to the successful Buyer and that sale will be free of any charges or encumbrances and transfer legal ownership to the Buyer.

In ensuring accuracy the advertised hours on any engine can be exceeded by no more than 24 hours at the point of collection by the Buyer. Once a sale is agreed, you are not entitled to increase the selling price by charging any VAT or other sales tax or charges to the Buyer and therefore if such tax or charges are chargeable, it should be contemplated when setting the reserve.

If you as the Seller withdraw your Auction Lot from sale or withdraw from an agreed sale of your Auction Lot to a Buyer, or you fail to complete the sale of the Auction Lot within the timeframe agreed with the Buyer for any reason other than the default of the Buyer, you will be obliged to pay the 6% buyers premium on the final auction selling price to FreeBoatSeller.co.uk that would have been paid by the Buyer.

if you withdraw your Auction Listing from sale, calculated on the last reserve you agreed with FreeBoatSeller.co.uk or if none (including an Auction Lot on the “Being Prepared” page) a minimum charge of £500. All applicable sales tax or similar tax is to be paid in addition to and at the same time as the fees referred to above.

Seller listing content and description

Trade Sellers are free to act on your behalf, but the terms outlined below remain the lot owners responsibility.

You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content that you upload or post.

The description of the Auction Lot, which includes information provided in relation to the Auction Lot by or on behalf of the Seller in the comments section, is to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading.

The Seller has notified, before the Live Auction launch, FreeBoatSeller.co.uk of any material alterations to the Auction Listing of which the Seller is aware, and of any concerns expressed by third parties in relation to the authenticity, provenance, origin, age, condition or quality of the Auction Listing, and has provided FreeBoatSeller.co.uk with all such information in the Seller’s possession or control.

If the Seller notifies us of any amendments to the description during the Live Auction, we will, at our discretion, announce these amendments in the comments section. If the amendment is necessary to remedy an inaccuracy of the description and the Seller specifically requests the correction of such inaccuracy, we will amend the description accordingly.

The description of an Auction Lot, which includes information provided in relation to the Auction Lot by or on behalf of the Seller in the comments section, remains the Seller’s sole responsibility at all times.
FreeBoatSeller.co.uk has no duty to the Seller or the Buyer to investigate the accuracy of the description of any Auction Listing provided by or on behalf of the Seller.

If the Buyer rescinds the sales contract because of the description of the Auction Lot (which includes information provided in relation to the Auction Lot by or on behalf of the Seller in the “comments” section) being inaccurate or misleading or the failure of the Seller to disclose to FreeBoatSeller.co.uk all information which may reasonably be expected to affect the provenance, title, value or any other aspect of the Auction Listing, the Seller shall pay the fees to FreeBoatSeller.co.uk.

We are not responsible or liable for any mis-information included within the listing.

The Seller is solely responsible for the content of the photographs provided in connection with their listing. FreeBoatSeller.co.uk is not responsible for checking or verifying the content of the photographs or for deleting any sensitive information contained in them. However, we will advise accordingly if we notice personal information within.

The Seller gives FreeBoatSeller.co.uk the right to use photographs of any Auction Listing, photographed by them or a photograph contracted by them, consigned for sale, and to use such photographs at any time at its absolute discretion (whether or not in connection with the Live Auction).

The Seller agrees that they should not use such photographs in connection with the sale of the Auction Listing on any platform other than FreeBoatSeller.co.uk.

Photographs and illustrations used for the Auction Listings may not show the true condition and colour, (which may be inaccurately reproduced) of the Auction Lot.

The Seller agrees to provide the Buyer with any such documentation that is in their possession to evidence their private ownership of the Auction Lot.

Bidding for an auction listing on our site

If you are a Buyer bidding for an Auction Lot you acknowledge that it is your responsibility to:

review the Auction Listing’s description, photographs and information provided in relation to the Auction Lot by or on behalf of the Seller in the comments section;
check the accuracy of your bids, all bids are made at your own risk;
directly contact the Seller (details provided by FreeBoatSeller.co.uk) to purchase the Auction Listing once your bid is approved by us as the highest bid on the Auction Listing, subject to achieving any reserve required by the Seller unless the reserve is waived by the Seller;
check the Auction Lot at the point of collection;
independently determine the description, ownership, value, condition, authenticity and quality of the Auction Lot;

As a Buyer you agree for each bid submitted on an Auction Listing that:

you have reviewed the listing description, photographs and information provided in relation to the Auction Listing by or on behalf of the Seller in the comments section and your bid or purchase is placed with this knowledge;
your bid is a legally binding obligation on you, that if your bid is successful and achieves any reserve required by the Seller (unless the reserve is waived by the Seller), you must pay our fees;
you are making an irrevocable offer to purchase that Auction Lot and you must pay to the Seller the final amount of your highest bid;
you cannot withdraw your bid, including any Max Bid.

It is the responsibility of a Lot Buyer, Lot Seller, and if applicable Trade Seller, to negotiate the terms of a binding transaction and enter into a sale contract for an Auction Lot.

If you as the successful Buyer fail to complete the purchase of the Auction Lot for any reason other than the default of the Seller, you will still be obliged to pay the fees to FreeBoatSeller.co.uk.

The statutory rights of the Seller, in particular to rescind the sales contract and claim damages, remain unaffected.

If your bid is successful, subject to achieving any reserve required by the Seller, unless the reserve is waived by the Seller, you will pay to the Seller (or into the agreed escrow account, if such an arrangement has been agreed with the Seller) the final amount of your highest bid within 7 Working Days of the auction ending unless otherwise agreed with the Seller.

If you do not make payment in full to the Seller (or into the agreed escrow account, if such an arrangement has been agreed with the Seller) within the 7 working days, or within the timeframe agreed with the Seller, subject to satisfying the legal prerequisites, the Seller may have a statutory right to rescind the sales contract whereby you will lose the right to purchase the Auction Lot, the fees paid and payable to FreeBoatSeller.co.uk will not be refundable.

You will complete the purchase of the Auction Lot and make payment to the Seller, and pay our fees, in the name or entity in which you are registered as a user with FreeBoatSeller.co.uk.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Seller and notified to FreeBoatSeller.co.uk, if the Buyer does not collect the Auction Listing within

(a) 7 Working Days of the auction ending if the Seller’s Auction Listing is stored in paid for storage or mooring or with a Managed Partner; or if otherwise,

(b) within 21 (twenty-one) days of payment (or such other period of time agreed between the Buyer and the Seller), the Seller may charge a storage/mooring charge to the Buyer. The Seller, acting reasonably, shall be permitted to transfer the Auction Listing to a secure third-party storage facility/mooring and to re-charge to the Buyer the Seller’s reasonable and actually-incurred costs (including removal, storage or other reasonable charges and expenses) which shall be paid by the Buyer on demand.

The Seller shall give the Buyer reasonable notice of its intention to exercise its rights under this clause and shall keep the Buyer informed of any action taken so that the Buyer can adjust their collection plans. FreeBoatSeller.co.uk is not liable for any failure of the Buyer to pay amounts charged to or owed by the Buyer pursuant to this clause.

It is for the Buyer and Seller to agree a suitable payment method for the Auction Lot.

If a payment method other than bank transfer or escrow is required by the Buyer, then the Buyer must agree this with the Seller prior to committing to bid.

If you want to protect your funds for purchasing an Auction Lot, you may opt to use an escrow agent. The escrow agent will hold the funds in their escrow account and will release the funds to the Seller once the sale is agreed. Should you choose to instruct an escrow agent, this is outside the scope of the service provided by FreeBoatSeller.co.uk and such arrangement will be governed by your agreement with the escrow agent that you instruct.

FreeBoatSeller.co.uk may at its discretion remove any bid made by a Buyer bidding on an Auction Listing if:

you have made a clear typographical error;
we believe the Seller is bidding for the relevant Auction Listing, or we believe you are bidding on behalf of the Seller;

You warrant that the funds you use for your purchase of an Auction Lot, and the payment of our fees, have no link with criminal activity including, without limitation, money laundering, tax evasion or terrorist financing. You agree to provide the Seller (and/or their bank) with any information that their bank may require (including photographic identification) to satisfy its compliance obligations.

FreeBoatSeller.co.uk reserves the right to place bids on Auction Listings on its own behalf for testing and maintenance purposes.

A Buyer is not obliged to transfer the full purchase price for an Auction Lot to the Seller prior to making an in-person collection. It is the responsibility of the Seller to ensure that they are in receipt of the purchase price (or protected from Buyer default, such as through the use of escrow) prior to releasing an Auction Lot to a Buyer.
