    4. Inspection. You shall have five (5) business days from the date of delivery of Inventory Products in accordance with Section 5(a) and 5(b) to inspect the shipment for any discrepancies in the quantity delivered and report such discrepancy to Home Depot in writing. Buyer must provide a detailed manifest, identifying each item that is missing, as well as any supporting images or other documentation. Home Depot reserves the right to conduct an additional inspection at its own expense. If Home Depot, acting reasonably and in good faith, agrees that an under delivery has occurred greater than 5%, based on the listed retail value of the auction, Home Depot 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, Home Depot will issue Buyer a reimbursement in the amount of $100 (i.e., 10% of the of the winning bid amount of the auction).
