    2. Canceled Bids and Purchases. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any bid or purchase for any reason. By way of example, but not limitation, Grainger 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 Grainger 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, we shall have the right, at our sole discretion, to 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 Grainger under the payment terms set forth in the Email Notification and on the Site. Grainger 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, Grainger will sell, assign, transfer and convey to you all of Grainger‘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.

  5. Shipment and Acceptance of Inventory Products
    1. Removal and Shipment of Inventory Products. Unless the auction listing or a notification to you specifies different terms regarding the removal and shipment of Inventory Products, the following terms of this Section 5.1 shall apply. The Inventory Products purchased by you shall be made available to you for receipt at the Grainger facility identified in the Email Notification (the “Inventory Location”) at a time mutually agreed to by you and Grainger (the “Pickup Time”). You or your agent must schedule the Pickup Time by contacting GRAINGER pursuant to the instructions set forth in the Notification Email. You shall be solely responsible for removal of the Inventory Products from Grainger‘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 Grainger's premises entirely at your risk as regards any and all hazards excepting only those found to be caused by Grainger‘s sole negligence. While on Grainger's premises, your employees and agents must observe all of Grainger's rules and regulations. You shall remove all Inventory Products from the Inventory Location within five (5) business days of receiving notice from Grainger that the Inventory Products are ready for pick-up. If you fail to remove such Inventory Products within this time, Grainger, in its sole discretion, may choose to keep such Inventory Products, list such Inventory Products for auction on the Site and refund to you the Purchase Price you paid to Grainger less (i) a storage charge of $10 per pallet per each of the days GRAINGER held the Inventory Products for you after you registered a Completed Purchase and (ii) a restocking fee of twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price.
    2. Title; Risk of Loss. Unless the auction listing or a notification to you specifies different terms regarding the removal and shipment of Inventory Products, the following terms of this Section 5.2 shall apply. Title to the Inventory Products shall remain with Grainger until you, your agent or carrier (as applicable) take possession of the Inventory Products at the Inventory Location. You expressly acknowledge that risk of loss and liability for the Inventory Products shall pass to you upon your or your agent's receipt of the Inventory Products at the Inventory Location. Without limiting the foregoing, you release B-Stock of any liability and waive all claims against B-Stock with respect to such Inventory Products. You or your agent shall have the right to count the number of pallets containing the Inventory Products to confirm the quantity of pallets matches the shipping manifest prior to accepting possession. You expressly acknowledge and agree that you shall have no right to refuse or return the Inventory Products after accepting possession of the Inventory Products at the Inventory Location.
    3. Acceptance. Your acceptance of possession of the Inventory Products from Grainger pursuant to Section 5.2 shall constitute an unqualified acceptance of the Inventory Products and a waiver by you of all claims with respect thereto except as set forth in Section 5.4. All sales are final.
    4. Inspection. You shall have five (5) business days from the date of delivery of Inventory Products to inspect the shipment for any discrepancies in the quantity/quality delivered and report such discrepancy to Grainger in writing. Buyer must provide a detailed manifest, identifying each item that is missing or damaged, and, if damaged, the exact nature of such damage, as well as any supporting images or other documentation. Grainger reserves the right to conduct an additional inspection at its own expense. If Grainger, acting reasonably and in good faith, agrees that an under delivery and/or damage has occurred greater than 5%, based on the listed retail value of the auction (or unit count if retail value is not available), Grainger will reimburse you in an amount equal to the approved discrepancy. By way of example, if Buyer wins an auction and pays a Winning Bid of $1,000, and the shipment is missing an item that is 10% of the value of the auction, Grainger will issue Buyer a reimbursement in the amount of $100 (i.e., 10% of the of the listed retail value of the auction). Such reimbursement may be in the form of an offset against any amount you may owe to Grainger or a credit to your B-Stock account. Following the five (5) business day inspection period, you shall no longer have the right to claim any reimbursement for under-delivery/damage.
    5. Further Assurances. Each party agrees that it will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such other instruments, and it will take all reasonable actions, as may be necessary to transfer and convey the Inventory Products to Buyer and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.
  6. Confidentiality
    1. Confidential Information. Each party acknowledges that by reason of its relationship to the other party hereunder it will have access to certain information and materials concerning the other party‘s business that are confidential and of substantial value to the other party, which value would be impaired if such information were disclosed to third parties. In particular, the parties hereto acknowledge that the information regarding the Purchase Price and any particular sale are confidential to Grainger. Each party will, and will cause its affiliates and employees to, protect and not disclose information that is considered confidential and use this information only to fulfill its obligations under these Terms of Purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you understand that B-Stock will have access to confidential information pertaining to you. You may not make any public announcement about these Terms of Purchase without Grainger‘s prior written approval and consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.1 to the contrary, any information (i) already in the public domain through no fault of the receiving party, (ii) independently developed by the recipient without the use of or access to the other party's confidential information, or (iii) released to the public through no action or inaction by the receiving party, will not be considered confidential information hereunder.

This Section 6 shall survive each purchase transaction hereunder.
