4.7 If any reserve price is not met, JOHN PYE AUCTIONS shall be entitled in its absolute discretion to accept any Bid received which is below the reserve price, in which case the Buyer shall be the person who submitted that Bid.
4.8 The Security Deposit may be recovered in the following situations:
4.8.1 if a Bidder is unsuccessful in achieving the Hammer Price, or
4.8.2 if the Bidder does not have its offer accepted by JOHN PYE AUCTIONS or the Seller, or
4.8.3 once payment in full has been received by JOHN PYE AUCTIONS from the Buyer for all sums due to JOHN PYE AUCTIONS (including any sums due to JOHN PYE AUCTIONS in respect of any other Vehicles sold to the Buyer) and all Vehicle(s) have been collected from JOHN PYE AUCTIONS’ premises
save that, at all times, in order to bid in an auction, the Security Deposit must have been paid to JOHN PYE AUCTIONS.
4.9 Following the occurrence of any of the scenarios in clause 4.8 above, if the Bidder fails to request in writing that JOHN PYE AUCTIONS return the Security Deposit to the Bidder, JOHN PYE AUCTIONS will retain the Security Deposit against future auctions or sales in which the Bidder may participate.

The Buyer has satisfied itself as to all matters relating to the Lot including the quality, age, value, correctness, condition, fitness for purpose, satisfactory quality and suitability of the Lot. However, JOHN PYE AUCTIONS remains responsible to the Buyer, if the Buyer is a Consumer, for the Main Characteristics of the Lot.
7.2 Any images of the Lot (whether on the Website, in the Important Notes, in brochures, in catalogues or otherwise) are for illustrative purposes only and the Lot may vary from those images. Vehicles may be second-hand, salvaged, repossessed and/or seized. All vehicles are sold as seen with no grading or guarantee given, and are sold subject to any faults, defects and imperfections which may subsist at the time of the sale. It shall be a term of the contract of sale that the Buyer accepts that the bodywork, the tyres, the exhaust, the battery and the upholstery of the Vehicle with all damage and defects (if any) which an inspection of the interior and exterior ought reasonably to reveal. All second-hand vehicles are sold strictly on the basis that they require repairing or reconditioning before being used.

7.3 Any descriptions of the Lot are for identification purposes only, except where the Buyer is a Consumer and the description relates to the Main Characteristics of the Lot. Any reference in a Lot Description to the age of a Vehicle is intended to be a reference to the year of first registration of the Vehicle in the United Kingdom. Any vehicle mileage stated in a Lot Description is unverified by JOHN PYE AUCTIONS and the Seller. Where errors or defects are not identified in the Important Notes or on the Website, there is no implied warranty as to the condition of the Lot or that it is free from any faults, imperfections, defects or restorations. JOHN PYE AUCTIONS and the Seller shall not be held responsible for any damage or defect to the Lot that has not been expressly notified to the Buyer.
7.4 Unless otherwise stated expressly in the Important Notes, no warranty, condition or guarantee is given (whether express or implied) by JOHN PYE AUCTIONS as to the quality, age, correctness, condition, suitability, fitness for purpose, roadworthiness or satisfactory quality of the Lot, and any and all express or implied conditions and warranties are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the Buyer is a Consumer, nothing in this clause shall exclude any express or implied conditions or warranties relating to the Main Characteristics provided by JOHN PYE AUCTIONS.
7.5 Where JOHN PYE AUCTIONS or its representatives provide an estimated Hammer Price for the Lot it is an opinion given on behalf of the Seller; such estimates should not be relied upon as the true value or the likely Hammer Price for the Lot. The Lot can be sold for much more or much less than the estimated Hammer Price. Any estimate given by JOHN PYE AUCTIONS is given exclusive of the Buyer Premium, VAT and other costs related to the sale and the purchase of the Lot.
7.6 Where JOHN PYE AUCTIONS or its representative provides any guidance as to the genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance or Vehicle starting capability or condition, this is an opinion given on behalf of the Seller and should not be relied upon by the Buyer. The Buyer must satisfy itself as to the value, authenticity, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance or condition of the Vehicle except that, where the Buyer is a Consumer, JOHN PYE AUCTIONS is responsible for the Main Characteristics of the Lot.
7.7 No Lot is sold as new for the purpose of the Consumer Protection Act 1987 or any product liability legislation. The Lot is not sold as a sample.

Such charges will continue to accrue notwithstanding the transfer by JOHN PYE AUCTIONS of any Vehicle to alternative Premises (and for the avoidance of doubt JOHN PYE AUCTIONS will deduct such charge from the Security Deposit), and JOHN PYE AUCTIONS reserves the right to notify and charge the Buyer the cost of storage when that amount has to be ascertained from a third party. For the avoidance of any doubt those costs are payable per individual Lot, until the earlier of the date that the Buyer removes the Lot from the Premises (or such replacement premises) and the date the Seller terminates the Contract. The Buyer must pay all sums due to JOHN PYE AUCTIONS pursuant to clause 10 before the Buyer will be permitted to remove the Lot from the Premises.
14.3 When a Vehicle is re-auctioned pursuant to clause 14.1 or 14.2 or otherwise in accordance with these Terms as deemed appropriate by JOHN PYE AUCTIONS, the proceeds of such re-sale will be applied in the following manner:
14.3.1 any outstanding storage, administration and/or removal fees, and insurance expenses due to JOHN PYE AUCTIONS;
14.3.2 Seller’s commission; and
14.3.3 any sums due under the original contract following the first auction,
(together with any VAT chargeable on each sum).
JOHN PYE AUCTIONS may only apply the Security Deposit as against the costs listed above in this clause 14.3 if:

14.3.3.1 the re-sale is occurring further to clause 14.1;
14.3.3.2 the re-sale is occurring further to clause 14.2 and the proceeds of such re-sale are insufficient to discharge the costs listed at clauses 14.3.1-14.3.3 inclusive.
In all cases the defaulting Buyer is further liable to pay to JOHN PYE AUCTIONS any resulting deficiency in the purchase price achieved at the first auction after deduction of any part payment and addition of the resale costs listed in this clause.

14.5 Where the Contract is terminated under clause 14.4.1, 14.4.2, 14.4.3 14.4.4 and/or 14.4.5, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the Seller and/or JOHN PYE AUCTIONS:
14.5.1 any Security Deposit or other amount paid by the Buyer under the Contract shall be forfeited to the Seller except those amounts that are due to JOHN PYE AUCTIONS;
14.5.2 no earlier than 14 days after the date that the Buyer is obliged to make payment in full pursuant to clause 10.3, the Seller may (but shall not be obliged to) dispose of or resell the Lot in whole or in part to a third party without restriction and without having to account to the Buyer for any increase or decrease to the price that was originally agreed to be paid by the Buyer; and

once the above liabilities have been discharged, the amounts outstanding (if any) from resale of the Lot shall be paid to the Buyer.
14.6 In the event that the Contract is terminated pursuant to clause 14.4.6, clause 14.4.7, clause 14.4.8, clause 14.4.9, or clause 14.4.10, without prejudice to any other right or remedies of the Seller and/or JOHN PYE AUCTIONS, if the Lot has been removed from the Premises, the Buyer shall deliver the Lot to such address as JOHN PYE AUCTIONS shall specify or make available the Lot for collection by JOHN PYE AUCTIONS (at JOHN PYE AUCTIONS' election).
14.7 The Buyer shall indemnify and keep indemnified JOHN PYE AUCTIONS and the Seller against all liabilities, costs, claims, expenses, damages and losses (including but not limited to any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal costs (calculated on a full indemnity basis) and all other professional costs and expenses) suffered, incurred or paid by JOHN PYE AUCTIONS and/or the Seller arising out of or in connection with the termination of the Contract (except where terminated pursuant to clause 14.4.6 or clause 14.4.7 or clause 14.4.8 or clause 14.4.9 or clause 14.4.10) and resale of the Lot (including, without limitation, the cost of storage and insurance for the Lot and any loss arising out of the resale of the Lot at a lower price than originally agreed to be paid by the Buyer).
