established by the Company from time to time which are posted on the Site
whether by clicking on Site buttons or otherwise.

THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AS IT GOVERNS THESE ACTIVITIES.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT SELL ANY ASSET ON THE SITE OR POST ANY ASSET FOR
SALE OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION TO THE SITE.
1.
The Site. The Site is a forum for the buying and selling online of various
aviation ground service equipment (hereinafter an "Asset" or "Assets"). (You,
as a seller of Assets on this Site are hereinafter referred to as the "Seller"
or "you".) The Company is not a
party to any such Asset sale other than as a broker entitled to its Listing Fee
and, if applicable, the Awarded Bid Fee (collectively hereinafter called
"Fees") described under the
Seller Fees tab at the bottom of the Seller Login page on this
Site all the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference into this
Agreement.
The Company has no control over, and shall not be responsible for the quality,
safety or legality of any Asset, or the truth or accuracy of any information or
representation posted on the Site.
You as the Seller agree to pay to the Company all Fees at the time such Fees are
due.
2.
Modifications. The Company may, in its sole discretion, amend this Agreement, at any
time, by posting an amended Seller Agreement on the Site; provided, however,
any change to the Fees shall only be applicable for Assets you list for sale on
the Site after such change in the Fees. Except as to Fees as described in the
preceding provision, such amended Agreement will become effective upon the
posting of such Agreement on the Site. Continued use of the Site after such
effective date constitutes your acceptance of the amended Agreement. The
Company reserves the right, for any reason and at any time, in its sole
discretion, to modify, suspend, or terminate any portion of the Site without
notice.
3.
Registration. To use the Site as a Seller, you must register with the Company on the
Site. Only individuals of the
Seller who are authorized to form legally binding contracts on behalf of the
Seller are eligible to register as a Seller on the Site.
As used in this Agreement, the term "you" refers to both the individual user and the
Seller that the individual user represents. In requesting a registration, or in
any other communication with the Company, you may not impersonate or
misrepresent an affiliation with any other person or entity, nor may you
attempt to communicate with the Company in an anonymous manner. Upon your
completion of a registration application and acceptance of this Agreement, your
registration application will be reviewed by the Company.
The Company may, in its sole discretion, reject your application for any reason
and/or terminate your access to the Site at any time for any reason.
4.
User Name and Password. If your
registration application is approved, the Company will notify you and your user
ID and password will be activated. Each user ID and password may only be used
by you on behalf of the business that you represent, as indicated on the
applicable registration application. You will be responsible for the
confidentiality and use of your user ID and password, and you will be held
solely responsible for all communications made through the Site using your user
ID and password. You must immediately notify the Company if you become aware of
any loss or theft of your password or any unauthorized use of your password,
user ID, or of the Site.
5.
Grant of License. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and any other rules or procedures
established by the Company from time to time, the Company hereby grants to you
a revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license, without the right to
sublicense, to use this Site solely for your purposes as a Seller.
Except as expressly set forth herein, you may not modify, copy, distribute,
transmit, reproduce, publish, license, transfer, sell, mirror, frame, or
otherwise use any information or content obtained from or through the Site. You
represent and warrant to the Company that you will not use this Site for any
purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by this Agreement. You are responsible
for providing, at your expense, all communications lines, hardware, software,
services and other materials and technology necessary for you to access the
Site. The Company shall have no
responsibility for any failure of such items or any failure or limitation of
the Internet or other computer hardware or software.
6.
Posting Information. You are solely
responsible for maintaining and updating any information on an Asset which you
desire to sell on the Site so that such information is current, complete,
truthful and accurate at all times.
You represent and warrant that you will not upload, post or transmit to or
distribute or otherwise publish on or through the Site any material or
information that: (i) uses descriptions of the Asset which are subjective such as "good
working order" or the like; (ii) infringes or misappropriates any patent,
copyright, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary right, (iii) violates
any law, statute, ordinance, or regulation when posted on the Site or provided
to the Company, (iv) is threatening, defamatory, libelous, harassing or
profane, (v) contains a virus, Trojan horse, worm, time bomb or other component
that may adversely affect any hardware or software, or that intercepts or
expropriates any data or information, or (vi) includes bulk Emails,
advertisements or solicitations.
7.
Private Auction Sales. Assets are
sold through a "private auction" sale on the Site.
A private auction sale means that a bidder's identity on Assets for sale on the Site
is kept secret from the other bidders during the period of the Auction and may
be seen only by the Company and the Seller. By posting information to the Site pertaining to an Asset that you
intend to sell at private auction, you create a "Listing."
You must specify in the Listing an accurate description of the Asset and the
duration of the Listing (the "Listing Period").
The Buyer will be responsible for arranging for the pick-up of the Asset or its
shipping, pay the costs of such pick-up or shipment and other costs of
transfer; under no circumstances will the Company be responsible for any such
costs. Once a Listing is posted, it may be amended by you as the Seller but if
such amendment materially detracts from the value of the Asset to a particular
bidder, such bidder may withdraw their bid by email, explaining their reasons
for withdrawal, to CustomerService@GSEmarket.com
provided such withdrawal is made prior to the end of the Listing Period.
You must also immediately correct any error in the Listing.
7.1.1 Listing an Asset for Sale. In
posting a Listing, the Seller may, but need not, specify a minimum reserve
price for the Asset (the "Minimum Price"). If
a Seller desires a Minimum Price for an Asset but does not wish to disclose it
to potential buyers, it shall still notify the Company of the Minimum Price.
The Company reserves the right, but does not have an obligation, to immediately
notify bidders on an Asset that their bid is below the Minimum Price set by the
Seller but the Company will not notify any bidders of what the Minimum Price
is.
7.1.2 Offering to Buy an Asset. Bidders
wishing to buy an Asset (a "Buyer") listed may submit an offer on line through
the Site only to purchase any Asset described in a Listing, thereby creating an
"Offer." Each Offer must specify an offer price. By entering an Offer, the
Buyer extends an irrevocable offer to purchase the associated Asset at the
price set forth in the Offer. A
Buyer may submit as many higher offers as it desires during the Listing Period
and its highest offer shall be its final Offer for purposes of this Agreement.
The Company reserves the right, but does not have an obligation, to immediately
notify the bidding Buyer on an Asset that their Offer is not the current
highest Offer for the Asset. Further,
the Company reserves the right, but does not have an obligation, to notify the
bidding Buyer on an Asset that their Offer has been outbid by another bidding
Buyer and that they thus are no longer the highest bidder.
7.1.3 Acceptance of Offer.
A Seller must and shall be deemed to have accepted the highest Offer received on the
Site for the Asset during the Listing Period provided that it is
at least equal to the Minimum Price if the Seller specifies a Minimum Price
whether openly in the Listing or to the Company.
The Company will provide the Seller with the contact information for the winning
Buyer, and provide that Buyer with the contact information for the
Seller.
7.1.4 Completion of Sales.
The Seller must consummate the sale of the Asset on any accepted Offer and Seller
hereby agrees that such accepted Offer is a valid, binding and enforceable
contract against it and may also be specifically enforced by the Company as a
third party beneficiary of this Agreement as well as the Buyer Agreement. The
Seller shall not relinquish the Asset to the Buyer until the Buyer has paid the
invoice sent by the Company for the Asset as described in Section 8.
7.1.5 Fees.
As a Seller of an Asset, you as the Seller agree to pay the Company the
Fees that result in an accepted Offer regardless if the sale
transaction ultimately actually occurs between the Buyer and Seller.
7.1.6
Exclusivity. You agree not to circumvent the Listing by selling to a third party
other than the Buyer or by entering into any side agreement with the Buyer and
to report any Buyer who offers to do so and, in any event, you are obligated
and bound to pay the Fees that would have resulted to the Company had the sale
of the Asset been completed through the Site regardless of any such
circumvention of the Listing howsoever done.
7.1.7
SELLER WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. The Seller warrants that it has title to the Asset
free and clear of mortgages, liens or any other security interests and that the
Asset conforms to its description in the Listing.
OTHER THAN THE REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, THE SELLER MAKES
NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) ABOUT THE ASSET AND
SUCH ASSET IS SOLD TO THE BUYER "AS IS -WHERE IS -
WITH ALL FAULTS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND
INDUSTRY CUSTOMS AND TRADE PRACTICES.
8.
Invoices. The Company will invoice the Buyer, on behalf of the Seller for each
Asset sold on the Site. The
invoice payment shall be made to the Company and the Company after deducting
its Fees will remit the balance to the Seller on a monthly basis.
9. Additional
Seller Representations and Warranties.
As a Seller, you represent and warrant that: (i) any Asset described in a
Listing posted by you shall not be fraudulent and shall be accurately
represented by the Listing, (ii) you have the right, through actual ownership,
to list any Asset described in a Listing posted by you and to sell such Assets
through use of the Site, (iii) you shall not post information for any Asset
which would be illegal to sell, or offer to sell, under applicable law, and (iv)
payment of the applicable Fees to the Company shall not cause the Company to
violate any applicable laws.
10.
Relationship of the Parties. No
joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between
you and the Company as a result of this Agreement or your use of this Site. You
acknowledge and agree that the Company is only an intermediary that only relays
information about certain Assets to interested parties. You agree that you will
assume all responsibility in connection with choosing to sell any Asset,

The Company assumes no responsibility or liability for any claims that may result
directly or indirectly from the Buyer/Seller relationship, including, but not
limited to, tort, breach of contract or breach of warranty claims.
