   1. “Buyer”, “Bidder”, or “you” or “your” shall mean the entity that registers or logs into the Site for the purpose of viewing, bidding upon and/or purchasing Inventory Products.
   2. A “Completed Purchase” occurs when (i) you have provided to Ashley HomeStore all of the purchase information requested in the Email Notification (defined below) in the manner specified in such Email Notification to complete your purchase and (ii) the Purchase Price for the Inventory Products has been received in the bank account specified in the Email Notification.
   3. “Extended Auction” shall mean any auction where the auction is extended, one or more times, due to a bid being placed within the final 5 minutes of the auction. Each extension is for a period of 3 minutes.
   4. “Listing” shall mean the content on the Site associated with particular Inventory Products, including, but not limited to, the description and quantity of the Inventory Products.

3. Inventory Products and Auction Process
   1. Inventory Products Condition; Threshold Tolerances.
      1. Condition. Inventory Products consist of customer returns and/or company stock items. The condition of the Inventory Products will vary and standard designations regarding a product’s condition will be set forth in the Listing. Regardless of the standard designation in the Listing, the Inventory Products are provided to you “as is” as described in and subject to Section 8 for purchase on the Site, except if Damaged (defined below). You understand and agree that the Inventory Products may not be first quality, may have irregularities, may be “not-quite-perfect” as used in the industry, and may have defects in material and workmanship, and you shall not be entitled to a refund or credit for such Inventory Products for such reason. The term “Damaged” and its derivatives shall mean significantly damaged beyond advertised quality noted in lot manifest.
      2. Thresholds.
         1. The total number of items in a lot may vary by up to plus or minus 5 percent (5%) from the number of items in the Listing for the lot (the “Item Threshold”).
         2. The total number items of Damaged Inventory Products in a lot may vary by up to plus or minus five percent (5%) from the number of items in the Listing for the lot (the “Damaged Item Threshold”, and together with the Item Threshold, the “Lot Thresholds”).
      3. Remedy. In the event a Lot Threshold results in a shortfall to you, your sole remedy shall be a refund or credit in an amount equal to the average value of the items in the lot multiplied by the number of items for which there is a shortfall to you in excess of the applicable Lot Threshold. To determine the average value of items, the total amount of the Winning Bid for the lot shall be divided by the number of items in the Listing for the lot. For clarity, analysis of Lot Thresholds shall be done on an entire lot basis, not an item by item basis. The process for submitting a claim under this Section 3.1 is set forth in Section 5.4. Claims must be submitted to B-Stock, not Ashley HomeStore.
   2. Auction Process. Inventory Products will be sold pursuant to the auction process set forth in this Section 3 (the “Auction”). If you wish to bid on Inventory Products, you will be required to enter your bid amount. In order to be eligible for the Auction, your bid must be (i) in an amount higher than the bid listed as the minimum opening bid and the “current winning bid,” as applicable, (ii) in the bid increments set forth on the bid page and (iii) placed before the scheduled closing time for such Auction (including any additional time added for an Extended Auction). Once submitted, your bid is irrevocable. If your bid is the highest bid at the conclusion of an Auction (the “Winning Bid”) you will be notified by email (the “Email Notification”) at the email address you provided when you registered for your account (or as subsequently updated by you by following instructions on the Site). The Email Notification will serve as your official proof of purchase and/or official invoice. Any additional formal invoice or proof of purchase outside of the original winning notification is not available. It is your responsibility to keep your email address current and to timely check your email to determine if you are the winning bidder for any Auction in which you participated. Ashley HomeStore is not responsible for the failure of an Email Notification to reach a winning bidder for any reason, including, but not limited to, technical problems or other system errors.
   3. Winning Bids. If your bid is deemed the Winning Bid at the end of the Auction for certain Inventory Products, you agree to promptly purchase such Inventory Products pursuant to the terms and instructions set forth in this Terms of Purchase and in the Email Notification. Penalties for failure to make a Completed Purchase for any Auction for which you have the Winning Bid are set forth in Section 4.1 below.

      In the event that you fail to timely purchase and pay for a Winning Bid, in addition to any other rights or remedies allowed by law to secure payment by Ashley HomeStore, your account shall be deactivated. Ashley HomeStore may, in its sole and absolute discretion, waive deactivation or allow re-activation conditioned upon your payment of a reinstatement fee. The fee amounts are as follows, within any 12-month period:

      1st Offense: $0-$10,000 Purchase Price: $100 Fee

      1st Offense: $10,000+ Purchase Price: $500 Fee

      2nd Offense: $0-$10,000 Purchase Price: $500 Fee

      2nd Offense: $10,000+ Purchase Price: $1,000 Fee

   4. Deactivation; Cancellation. Ashley HomeStore may, in its sole discretion at any time and for any reason, without penalty, cost, charge, reimbursement or fee, deactivate your Site account, reject any bid for Inventory Products, or suspend or cancel any Auction or purchase of Inventory Products, including fulfillment of a purchase after completion of an Auction and payment for the Inventory Products. If Ashley HomeStore cancels any purchase of Inventory Products after you have submitted payment for such Inventory Products, Ashley HomeStore will direct B-Stock to issue a refund to the designated payment method that you used to make such payment or other method selected by Ashley HomeStore or B-Stock.
4. Conditions to Sale; Payment
   1. Purchase Price. In consideration for your payment of the Winning Bid amount for Inventory Products, and any applicable shipping costs, taxes, and fees (the “Purchase Price”), Ashley HomeStore hereby agrees to sell to you the Inventory Products for such Inventory Products subject to your compliance with the terms set forth in this Terms of Purchase and the Email Notification. You agree to pay the Purchase Price for the Inventory Products by wiring the full amount of the Purchase Price to the bank account set forth in the wiring instructions included in the Winning Bid Email Notification, within two (2) business days after end of the Auction. If you fail to register a Completed Purchase, including by failing to pay the Purchase Price, within two (2) business days of when the Email Notification is sent by Ashley HomeStore, you shall forfeit any right to purchase such Inventory Products and Ashley HomeStore may, in its sole discretion, in addition to any other rights of Ashley HomeStore hereunder, (i) offer to sell such Inventory Products to another bidder at such bidder’s bid price or (ii) post such Inventory Products on the Site for sale in a new Auction. You shall be responsible for all taxes, shipping costs and any other expenses incurred in connection with your purchase hereunder.
   2. Canceled Bids and Purchases. Ashley HomeStore may, in its sole discretion, refuse or cancel any bid or purchase for any reason. By way of example, but not limitation, Ashley HomeStore may cancel your bid or purchase if there are inaccuracies or errors in product or bid information, or problems identified by our credit and fraud avoidance department. While Ashley HomeStore strives to provide accurate product and bid information, typographical or system errors may occur. In the event that bids for Inventory Products are incorrectly listed or Inventory Products are listed with incorrect information due to an error in quantity or other product information, Ashley HomeStore may, in its sole discretion refuse or cancel any purchases placed for such Inventory Products. In the event that we must cancel a bid or purchase, we will cancel your bid or purchase and notify you by email of such cancellation.
   3. Payment Terms. You shall submit the Purchase Price to Ashley HomeStore under the payment terms set forth in the Email Notification and on the Site. Ashley HomeStore may revise the payment terms from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion upon notice to you; provided, however, that any change to payment terms will not be effective for any then-pending sale but will only be effective for sales subsequent to such notice. Upon acceptance of the Purchase Price and the fulfillment of all other conditions to the sale, Ashley HomeStore will sell, assign, transfer and convey to you all of Ashley HomeStore’s right, title and interests in and to the Inventory Products and shall arrange with you for delivery of such Inventory Products in the manner set forth in Section 5 below.
   4. Identification of Ashley HomeStore. If the Inventory Product is identified on the Site as subject to Demanufacture, you shall not sell, lease or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of the Inventory Products that you purchase, unless you first Demanufacture such Inventory Products. “Demanufacture” means, in accordance with any Ashley HomeStore’s specifications provided to you, to remove, if possible, all of the identifying marks, including, but not limited to, Ashley HomeStore’s or its affiliates’ names, logos, serial numbers, UPC numbers, RA numbers, and other identifying marks (including but not limited to tags, labels, price stickers, bar codes, or other carton or packaging markings) from the packaging. Although you should not have access to any Ashley HomeStore customer information, including without limitation, sales receipts, addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers or other personally identifiable information, if you receive any such information that may be included with the Inventory Products, you will not use such information and agree to promptly remove, delete, and destroy all such information. Regardless of if the Inventory Product is subject to Demanufacture, except with the prior written consent of Ashley HomeStore, you shall not under any circumstances in any marketing or sales communication, in any medium, in any sales channel world-wide (including signage, banner ads, pop-ups, emails, texts, or the like) (i) identify Ashley HomeStore, its parent or any of its affiliates or divisions as the source of the Inventory Products; (ii) advertise the Inventory Products using any name relating to Ashley HomeStore, its parent or any of its divisions or affiliates, or any of its or their private labels, in any manner; (iii) make reference to Ashley HomeStore or its parent or any of its affiliates or divisions in any signing or advertising; or (iv) advertise the Inventory Products using any name related to Ashley HomeStore’s suppliers.

The Inventory Products purchased by you shall be made available to you for pick-up at the Ashley HomeStore facility identified in the Email Notification (the “Inventory Location”) at a time mutually agreed to by you and Ashley HomeStore (the “Pickup Time”). You or your agent must schedule the Pickup Time by contacting Ashley HomeStore pursuant to the instructions set forth in the Notification Email. You shall be solely responsible for removal of the Inventory Products from Ashley HomeStore’s premises and for all shipping arrangements (including, without limitation, permits, costs and licenses), expenses (including, but not limited to, insurance) and labor. Your employees, equipment, and property, and that of your agents, enter and remain on Ashley HomeStore’s premises entirely at your risk as regards any and all hazards excepting only those found to be caused by Ashley HomeStore’s sole negligence. While on Ashley HomeStore’s premises, your employees and agents must observe all of Ashley HomeStore’s rules and regulations. You shall remove all Inventory Products from the Inventory Location within five (5) business days of receiving notice from Ashley HomeStore that the Inventory Products are ready for pick-up.

All sales are final.
   4. Inspection.
      1. Process. You shall have five (5) days from the date of delivery of the Inventory Products pursuant to Section 5.1 (the “Inspection Period”) to inspect the Inventory Products to determine if any Lot Threshold was exceeded (the “Inspection Claim”). Failure to make an Inspection Claim within the Inspection Period in accordance with this Section 5.4 shall be deemed to be an irrevocable acceptance of the Inventory Products.
