Timed Bidding Events
Terms Applicable to Timed Bidding Event Participants
Upon each time you register to list a Property on the REXTAR Platform (“Seller Participant”), you hereby engage REXTAR on a sole and exclusive basis, to list the Property you included in your Submission for bidding purposes in a Timed Bidding Event. By way of clarification, this exclusive relationship includes REXTAR acting as your real estate broker/agent for the sale of the Property. At the time of your initial Submission of a Property for listing as a possible sale on the REXTAR Platform and, if applicable, during the entire period of the Timed Bidding Event, you represent and warrant and confirm that the Property is not currently listed for sale with any other third party (including, but not limited to, a real estate broker, real estate agent (excluding REXTAR), auctioneer or similar party) or that the Property is under contract for sale with any third party. Each Seller Participant represents and warrants that all information provided about the listed Property is true and accurate. REXTAR reserves the right to postpone or cancel a Timed Bidding Event to modify the terms posted for the Property and/or the Timed Bidding Event.
Upon each time you register to bid on a Property listed on the REXTAR Platform (“Buyer Participant”), you hereby confirm that you are not represented by REXTAR or any unauthorized third-party, including a real estate agent, broker, or auctioneer, in connection with the purchase or sale of real property. Each Buyer Participant further represents and warrants that the Buyer Participant has performed its own due diligence including, but not limited to, contacting whatever sources each Buyer Participant deems necessary to bid on a Property. For the purposes of this Agreement, any party who is offering a guaranty in connection with the purchase and sale of the Property shall be considered a Buyer Participant.
In an effort to avoid “Bid Sniping,” the practice of bidders placing bids near the published expiration of the Timed Bidding Event, the REXTAR Platform will automatically extend each Timed Bidding Event for an additional reasonable amount of time as determined by REXTAR in its sole discretion. For example, if a bid is placed within the last ten (10) minutes of a Timed Bidding Event, REXTAR may extend the Timed Bidding Event for an additional ten (10) minutes until no other bid is received for a period of ten (10) straight minutes.
Product Display/Colors & Specifications
The REXTAR Platform attempts to display Property images shown through it as accurately as possible. However, REXTAR cannot guarantee that the image or color you see displayed on your monitor represents the actual Property or conforms to the specifications of the Property you have selected.
Typographical Errors
From time to time on rare occasions, the REXTAR Platform (including, a Timed Bidding Event) may inadvertently process, display or otherwise generate garbled transmissions, errors and/or mistakes including, but not limited to, in the content displayed on the REXTAR Platform (including, but not limited to, the Property listing, during a Timed Bidding Event (including, but not limited to, before, during and closing) (“Process Error”). If this occurs, then REXTAR, at its sole discretion, may correct, or decline to correct, the Process Error and if it decides to correct the Process Error, REXTAR will use its reasonable discretion and reasonable efforts to correct the Process Error including, but not limited to, by (a) refusing or cancelling your registration for, or bid in, a Timed Bidding Event whether or not it has been confirmed; (b) contacting you for instructions; and/or (c) canceling the Timed Bidding Event, your Property listing and/or your bid.
Validating & Approving Registration and/or Participation
After you register as a Seller Participant, Buyer Participant, Guarantor Participant in a Time Bidding Event, we will check the information you gave us in your Submission for validity. While performing our due diligence, we may require additional verifications or information before accepting your registration to participate in a Timed Bidding Event, as a seller, bidder and/or guarantor as the case may be. Upon acceptance, we will send you a confirmatory email.
We reserve the right to reject your registration as a Seller Participant, Buyer Participant and/or Guarantor Participant, the listing of your Property, in the case of a Seller Participant, your Guaranty bid, in the case of a Guarantor Participant and/or your bid in the case of a Buyer Participant, in each case, for any or no reason whatsoever. If we do reject any of the foregoing activities on the REXTAR Platform, we will generally attempt to notify you via email by using the contact information you gave to us at the time of registration or your most recent Submission.
Listing, Bid & Guaranty Acceptance/Confirmation
Your receipt of an electronic or other form of confirmation from REXTAR does not signify acceptance of your listing, in the case of Seller Participant, your bid, in the case of Buyer Participants and/or your guaranty, in the case of Guarantor Participants, nor does it constitute confirmation of a sale, guaranty or purchase. REXTAR reserves the right at any time after receipt of your registration, listing, bid or guaranty to accept or decline such act or transmission for no or any reason whatsoever. Buyer Participants and Guarantor Participants further represent and warrant that they have the requisite funding and capital to consummate the purchase of the Property if their bids are the winning bids in a Time Bidding Event.
Time Bidding Event Terms
If participating in any Timed Bidding Event, whether as a Seller Participant or Buyer Participant, you confirm, represent and warrant that you have read the Contract of Sale available on the REXTAR Platform and have been advised to seek counsel with questions and assistance.
Timed Bidding Event
At the time of your registration to list a Property on the REXTAR Platform, REXTAR offers a “No Reserve Auction” to Seller Participants. A No Reserve Auction will list your Property on the REXTAR Platform for sale to the highest bidder, with no option for a minimum sale price. The Seller Participant is unable to reject any bid and will become a seller (“Seller”) once a bid is made on the Property. The Buyer Participant who makes the highest bid at the expiration of the Timed Bidding Event shall be deemed the buyer of the Property (“Buyer”). If no bid is made within the time period, then Seller shall retain ownership of the Property.
Participant Fees
- Seller Participants do not pay any fees to list a Property on the REXTAR Platform nor for listing it in a Timed Bidding Event.
- Each time a Buyer Participant registers to participate as a potential buyer in a Timed Bidding Event, Buyer Participants hereby authorize REXTAR to process a Two Thousand Five-Hundred ($2,500.00) Dollar hold on Buyer Participant’s credit card (the “Bid Deposit”), which Bid Deposit will be released upon your failure to successfully bid on a Property.
Successful Timed Bidding Event Closing Terms
Upon the expiration of the Timed Bidding Event whereby a verified bid occurs that satisfies the conditions chosen by the Seller Participant (including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Property Listing and the Contract of Sale) for the Timed Bidding Event, the Seller and Buyer shall be deemed to have executed the contract of sale made available on the REXTAR Platform or made available to the participants prior to the Timed Bidding Event for the sale of the Property (the “Contract of Sale”) immediately upon the expiration of a successful Timed Bidding Event. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Contract of Sale, the parties acknowledge and agree that if the Contract of Sale does not provide a date certain for the closing, that the parties will use best efforts to close on the transfer of the Property within the typical thirty (30) days following the closing of the successful Timed Bidding Event.
Fees due at the Closing of a Successful Timed Bidding Event
At the closing of a successful Timed Bidding Event, a Buyer shall pay REXTAR a fee as stipulated in the contract of sale (“REXTAR Fee”) which fee shall be added to the contract price at the time of the closing. For example, if the winning bid is One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) and the REXTAR Fee is Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) this will create a contract price of One Hundred Two Thousand and Five Hundred Dollars ($102,500.00) plus all of the other fees set forth in the Sale Contract.
Buyer irrevocably instructs its closing entity (i.e., settlement officer, etc.) to collect the REXTAR Fee and any other fee or compensation due to REXTAR and disburse the same according to the terms and conditions of the Contract of Sale between the Buyer and Seller, at closing. Closing or settlement shall not be a condition precedent to payment of REXTAR’s compensation. If the closing does not occur after a Successful Timed Bidding Event, the Seller or Buyer shall pay REXTAR the REXTAR Fee based on the party who is responsible for the default under the Contract of Sale, and if the parties mutually agree that there is no default and do not close, then the parties will each be responsible for one-half of the REXTAR Fee.
