1. Introduction
Your registration as a user of Scantruck A/S Auctions shall, at the same time, constitute an agreement between you (the user) and Scantruck A/S ("us", "we"). This present agreement sets out your and our rights and obligations in connection with using this and any other related products and services provided by us.
The following agreement comprises terms and conditions for the use of specific services provided on our website.
2. Account eligibility
Your use of Scantruck A/S Auctions presupposes your creation of an account (a company account). You can only have one company account, but this does not preclude the creation of more users from the same business. Scantruck A/S Auctions shall only be accessible for such business enterprises as are in a position to enter into legally binding contracts. Scantruck A/S Auctions does not sell to private individuals, and a valid CVR-no – or, for businesses outside Denmark, a similar business registration number – is required. Scantruck A/S Auctions is not accessible for users under the age of 18. We reserve the right to reject the provisions of our services, to change the terms and conditions for your use of Scantruck A/S Auctions, and / or to refuse the provision of our services at any time by notification thereof via e-mail. Any such notification of changes shall take effect immediately.
3. The legal relationship between you and Scantruck A/S Auctions
Scantruck A/S Auctions shall have the physical right of ownership to all goods sold through our agency.
Scantruck A/S Auctions is an online auction site which constitutes a part of our website. The auction site puts up for sale goods which belong to Scantruck A/S, such as described in the following.
3.1 Bought as seen
Scantruck A/S Auctions makes no warranty in respect of goods sold or advertised via Scantruck A/S Auctions. Any goods sold via Scantruck A/S Auctions shall be purchased as seen unless otherwise stipulated.
3.2 No warranty for services.
Scantruck A/S Auctions cannot be held responsible for any delay or disconnection as may occur in respect of Scantruck A/S Auctions under this present agreement in so far as such conditions originate from matters beyond our control; however we shall use all available means to meet our obligations pursuant to the agreement. You acknowledge that your access to our website may, at times, be obstructed. This may be owing to a number of different conditions, comprising server drop-out, power failure, severed cables, service and maintenance, updating to new and improved options and services.
3.3 Limited liability
We shall only be liable for such loss or damage directly attributable to our own actions, the lack thereof, or contravention of our duties pursuant to this present use agreement; and our obligations in this respect shall be limited such as stipulated in the remainder of clause 3.3. We cannot be held liable for any loss or damage which you may suffer as a result of your use of a service other than Scantruck A/S Auctions. In no circumstance can we be held liable for any direct or indirect loss of profit contribution or goodwill or for indirect loss or consequential effects of loss or damages. It is further agreed that, in the event of delay, the buyer cannot advance any claim for damages, neither in respect of direct nor indirect losses. No other claims for damages, such as e.g. loss of earnings, loss of wages, daily penalties and any other likely claims, such as e.g. any kind of industrial dispute or otherwise, will be met.
Similarly, this disclaimer shall be in force in the event of the customer's notification of defects.
Thus, Scantruck A/S Auctions can solely be held liable for defects to an extent where such defects may be construed as defects in title. In the event of defects in title, the customer's claim for damages cannot be in excess of the amount paid by the customer for the delivery made by Scantruck A/S Auctions. In the event of Scantruck A/S Auctions's liability to pay compensation, such compensation shall cover only the value of the product of parts thereof, but not labour costs, expenses or damages which any flaws or defects may have inflicted on the buyer.
3.4 Indemnification
You accept to compensate us, our departments, employees and management for all claims or judicial claims made by or arising from a third party's claim in connection with your violation of this present agreement or the documents comprised therein or as a result of your violation of a law or the infringement of a third party in connection with your use of Scantruck A/S Auctions.
4. Fees and commissions
Sales prices on Scantruck A/S Auctions are inclusive of commission. No purchase made from Scantruck A/S Auctions will be added auctioneer's commission.
5. Settlement of disputes
In your capacity as buyer, you accept to actively cooperate with us towards the settlement of any disputes which may arise. Should a claim be made (as a result of a conflict or for any other reason), you will accept to disclose all necessary documentation and information which may contribute to the solution of the conflict.
Please report all kinds of fraudulent transactions, faults or conflicts.
We shall make no attempt to hold you responsible for a third party's unauthorised (comprising fraudulent) use of your account in so far as we can be convinced that you have not consciously acted in such a way as to allow any third party's access to your user name and pass word. But please note that your user name and pass word are strictly personal regardless whether you act on behalf of a business enterprise. Hence, your access code must be kept at a safe place, secure from misuse.
6. Settlement of all claims.
The need for settlement of claims may e.g. arise from exchange rate fluctuations. This may for instance be the case if the currency exchange rate in which the transaction is made differs from the exchange rate used in our invoicing.
Scantruck A/S Auctions is entitled to adjust exchange rates as needed. The exchange rate in force shall be the exchange rate on the date of invoicing plus an additional charge.
