9. Sale

If you sell products, supplies and/or equipment through BidMed (as a “Seller”), you represent and warrant that you have full title and interest in and the rights to such products, supplies and/or equipment (collectively herein “Equipment”) sold to the buyer of the Equipment (“Buyer”); and that you have the right and ability to sell, transfer, grant title to, deliver and convey the Equipment to Buyer.  As a Seller, you represent and warrant that the title to the Equipment conveyed is good, and that such Equipment is delivered and sold free and clear of all liens, security interests, claims, pledges, licenses, options, conditional sales agreements, assessments, levies, covenants, restrictions, charges or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever, that the Equipment is not subject to restrictions on transferability, that you have complete and unrestricted authority to transfer the Equipment, and that you will warrant and defend the same against all lawful claims and demands whatsoever and indemnify Buyer against any loss, claim or expense (including attorneys’ fees) in connection therewith.  You also agree that you will execute and deliver any further assignments, instruments of transfer, bills or sale or conveyances and do such further acts as Buyer may reasonably request in order to vest fully in Buyer all right, title and interest to, and in, the Equipment.  As a Seller, you shall retain title and ownership of the Equipment until such time as it is shipped or transferred to Buyer.  Specifically, title of Equipment shall pass to Buyer upon:  (i) Seller or Seller’s agent placing the Equipment with a commercial carrier or (ii) Seller or Seller’s agent taking possession of the Equipment at the Seller’s location should Buyer elect to arrange for pick-up of the Equipment.

10. Price

The prices of the Equipment are F.O.B. Origin, unless otherwise noted.  If you are a Buyer, you shall pay all transportation, license fees, custom duties and other such charges as added to the total purchase price unless otherwise noted.  All applicable sales, use, transfer or exercise taxes arising from the sale of Equipment to you (as a Buyer) will be charged to you and will be added to the purchase price in accordance with local and/or state law, and you will also bear the cost of any personal property taxes assessable on the Equipment after delivery to the carrier.

11. Equipment

If you are a Seller, in the event that any Equipment is out of stock, discontinued, or not available for delivery, your liability shall be limited to a credit or refund of any monies Buyer may have paid for such items that are not deliverable.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if you are a Seller, you shall not be liable for any delay in delivery or for non-delivery of Equipment in whole or in part caused by the occurrence of any contingency beyond the control of you or your suppliers, including, but not limited to, war, sabotage, acts of civil disobedience, failure or delay in transportation, act of any government or agency for subdivision thereof, judicial action, labor dispute, fire, accident, explosion, quarantine, restrictions, storms, flood, earthquake, or acts of God, shortage of labor, fuel, raw materials, or machinery or technical failure where you have exercised ordinary care in the prevention thereof.  If any contingency occurs, allocation of Equipment and delivery thereof will be at your discretion as Seller.  Certain Equipment may be delivered with accompanying materials and documents, including, but not limited to, user’s manuals, safety instructions, storage instructions and instructions for use (“Materials”).  If you are a Buyer, you acknowledge that Sellers make no guarantee, statement, claim, representation or warranty that Equipment will be delivered with any Materials or that the Equipment will include parts, accessories, safety devices or comply with applicable laws.  If Materials are not included with Equipment, it is your obligation as the Buyer of the Equipment to obtain the Materials and any necessary operating documentation directly from the equipment manufacturer.  Sellers shall have no responsibility or liability in the event you, as Buyer, are unable to obtain the Materials and any necessary operating documentation directly from the equipment manufacturer, and make no guarantee that the Materials and any necessary operating documentation will be available from the equipment manufacturer.  As Buyer, it is solely your responsibility to provide proper safety devices, accessories, items and equipment or the means necessary or required for the Equipment to meet all government safety standards or any other laws, including, but not limited to, any environmental protection or other public protection laws or regulations.  If you are a Buyer, you acknowledge and agree that certain Equipment may be subject to governmental restrictions on its use, and it is solely your responsibility to ascertain and comply with any such restrictions.  In this regard, you as Buyer are legally able to purchase and/or use the subject Equipment, and you are solely responsible for obtaining adequate personal injury insurance coverage and your failure or inability to obtain such insurance coverage does not invalidate your obligation to pay the purchase price.  BidMed is not involved in the actual transaction between Buyers and Sellers.  While BidMed may help facilitate the resolution of Buyer and Seller disputes, BidMed has no control over and does not guarantee the existence, quality, safety of legality of items advertised; the truth or accuracy of users’ content or listings; the ability of Sellers to sell items; the ability of Buyers to pay for items; or that a Buyer or Seller will actually complete a transaction or return an item.  Further, BidMed cannot guarantee that an item purchased will accurately reflect how it was depicted or described.  In the event there is a discrepancy between what was depicted or described and acquired by Buyer, BidMed will coordinate with Buyer and Seller to resolve the matter.  All Equipment (including any related Materials) is sold “AS IS, WHERE IS,” irrespective of condition, wear, damage and “AS AVAILABLE,” with all faults, defects, with no representations or warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, use, quiet enjoyment, quality, quality of information, capacity, design, workmanship and title/noninfringement.  BidMed shall not be liable for any consequential or incidental damages suffered by Buyer or anyone claiming by, through or under Buyer, as a result of the condition of Equipment.  BidMed makes no representations or warranties that the Equipment will satisfy or meet the requirements of any law, rule or regulation.  Buyer expressly agrees and acknowledges that purchase, use of and receipt of the Equipment are at Buyer’s sole risk.  BidMed does not endorse any equipment or manufacturer.  Notwithstanding the prior sentence, certain Equipment that is marked as “refurbished” may include an explicit, written warranty; any such “refurbished” Equipment warranty is provided by solely by the Seller and not by BidMed, and neither BidMed nor any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, co-branders, suppliers, or associates is liable in any way for the breach of such warranty.

12. Software

Certain Equipment may be accompanied by or may contain software embedded within the Equipment, and such software may be subject to copyright or other intellectual property right protections.  Such software may be subject to and/or require a license agreement with the software manufacturer, and such license agreement may place restrictions on the sale and/or use of the software.  If you are a Seller, you expressly acknowledge and agree that you shall not sell, transfer or convey any Equipment to a Buyer in violation of any applicable license agreement, and will take any and all steps as may be necessary to transfer or assign an applicable license agreement, if so requested by Buyer, to Buyer.

13. Warranty Disclaimer

This site, including any content or information contained within it or any site-related service, including all the provision of “equipment” (as such term is defined herein) and any other services, data, materials and content (accompanying and/ or embedded within equipment) by any seller, is provided “as is,” irrespective of condition, wear, damage and “as-available,” with all faults, defects, with no representations or warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, use, quiet enjoyment, quality, quality of information, capacity, design, workmanship and title/non-infringement.  You assume total responsibility and risk for your use of this site, site-related services, and hyperlinked websites.  No oral or written information or advice given by BidMed or its authorized representatives shall create a warranty, equipment endorsements or medical advice or in any way increase the scope of this warranty or the obligations of any seller.  The availability of equipment for purchase from seller in no way constitutes an endorsement of such by seller, nor any representation or warranty as to the safety, efficacy or appropriateness of any equipment.  Sellers on thE site provide no professional or medical advice as to any equipment or use of equipment.  Buyers expressly agree and acknowledge that purchase, use of and receipt of the equipment are at buyer’s sole risk.

BidMed and its affiliates, vendors, licensors, and other third parties mentioned on the site are neither responsible nor liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or other damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, those resulting from lost profits, lost data, or business interruption) arising out of or relating in any way to the site, site-related services, products and “equipment” (as such term is defined herein), content or information contained within the site, and/or any hyperlinked website, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory and whether or not advised of the possibility of such damages.  Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the site, site- related services, and/or hyperlinked websites is to stop using the site and/or those services.  Applicable law may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

 

15. Release

BidMed is not the seller in transactions between buyers and sellers.  If you have a dispute with one or more buyer or seller parties, you release BidMed (and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, co-branders, suppliers or associates) from any claims, demands and damages (whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or other damages), known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.  In entering into this release you expressly waive any protections (whether statutory or otherwise) that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.
