If you fail timely to do so, you will forfeit any right to purchase such Products, and QVC may, in its sole discretion, choose to (i) contact the next highest bidder in the auction for such Products and offer to sell such Products to such bidder at such bidder's bid price, or (ii) post such Products on the Site for sale in a new auction. In addition, QVC may restrict you from bidding in any further auctions at the Site. Penalties for your failure to complete the purchase of Products that are the subject of your winning bid are as set forth below.

You or your employees, equipment, and property, and that of your agents, enter and remain on QVC's premises entirely at your risk. While on QVC's premises, your employees and agents must observe all of QVC's rules and regulations. You shall have all Products removed by your third party carrier from the Location within three (3) business days of receiving notice from QVC that the Products are ready for pick-up. If you fail to have such Products removed within this time, QVC, in its sole discretion, may choose to keep such Products, list such Products for auction on the Site and refund to you the Purchase Price you paid to QVC less (i) a storage charge of $10 per pallet per each of the days QVC held the Products for you after you submitted the applicable payment and otherwise complied with the requirements in the Email Notification and (ii) a restocking fee of twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price.

Pallets may be consolidated for shipping. You shall have five (5) business days from your receipt of the Products to inspect the shipment for any discrepancies in the stated quantity and report such discrepancy to QVC in writing. QVC reserves the right to conduct an additional inspection at its own expense. If QVC agrees that an under-delivery of Product quantity has occurred in excess of the five percent (5%) threshold specified above, QVC will credit your account for any acknowledged under-delivery of Product quantity in excess of the five percent (5%) threshold. You expressly acknowledge and agree that you shall have no right to refuse or return the Products, even if there is a shortfall in the Product quantities in excess of the five percent (5%) threshold.
