KVA Network, Inc. (“Company”) owns and maintains the www.kvanetwork.com Website,and associated applications (the “Platform”),for the purpose of providing an open marketplace for the buying and selling of transformers and surplus electrical equipment for purposes that include, but are not limited to, direct sales, resale, surplus inventory, and scrap/salvage operations. For the purpose of this Seller Agreement (“Agreement”), a “Seller” shall be deemed to be the individual or entity agreeing to these terms and who are members of the Platform who wish to have the right to post auction listings, classified listings, and store fronts on the Platform as set forth below. Company and Seller are hereinafter referred to each as a “Party,” and collectively as the “Parties.”
BY CLICKING “LIST NOW” OR “SAVE AS DRAFT” BELOW, SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE/SHE/IT HAS READ AND AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PAYMENT OF THE SELLER’S FEES, AS WELL AS THE OTHER LEGAL DISCLAIMERS AND AGREEMENTS SET FORTH ON THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE AND PRIVACY POLICY OF THE PLATFORM (COLLECTIVELY, “PLATFORM AGREEMENTS”). IF SELLER DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE PLATFORM AGREEMENTS IN TOTAL, SELLER MAY NOT CONTINUE TO ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM AND MUST CLICK “PREVIOUS STEP” OR NAVIGATE AWAY FROM THE PLATFORM. FURTHER, IF SELLER DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE PLATFORM AGREEMENTS, SUCH SELLER SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT TO POST LISTINGS (AS DEFINED HEREIN) ON THE PLATFORM. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT CONFLICT WITH THE TERMS OF ANY PLATFORM AGREEMENTS, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL CONTROL.
FURTHERMORE, EACH TIME SELLER POSTS A NEW LISTING PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER IS FURTHER REITERATING AND RESUBMITTING SELLER’S AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PLATFORM AGREEMENTS THAT ARE IN EFFECT AT THE TIME THAT SELLER POSTS A NEW LISTING. MOREOVER, BY POSTING A NEW LISTING, SELLER IS REPRESENTING THAT HE/SHE/IT HAS BEEN IN COMPLETE AND SATISFACTORY COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PLATFORM AGREEMENTS TO DATE.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby stipulated, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
Seller may elect to sell various products such as transformers or surplus electrical equipment (collectively, “Products”, each a “Product”) based on the following two types of listings: (a) an auction listing (“Auction Listing”),which is an announcement for the sale of a Product and shall act as a platform where Seller can receive bids from buyers on the Product for a certain amount of time, as determined by the Seller; or (b) a classified listing (“Classified Listing”),which is an announcement for the sale of a Product and aims to connect buyers and sellers so that they can negotiate the terms of the transaction. Auction Listings and Classified Listings collectively are hereinafter referred to as “Listings” and each a “Listing.”.All information, content, and material contained within a Listing shall be deemed to be a "“Submission”" pursuant to the Terms and Conditions of Use, and as such, all representations, warranties, covenants, and licenses that apply to Submissions, as outlined in the Terms and Conditions of Use, shall likewise apply to all information submitted within and constituting a Listing.
2.1.Auction Listing Mechanics. Where Seller seeks to have an Auction Listing posted on the Platform, Seller shall set forth within the listing accurate and complete information about the Product including: Product description and specifications; photos/images of the Product; a minimum bid that will be accepted by the Seller; Product transfer information; Seller’s return/refund policies; the time period for which the bid will be open; and the Seller’s preferred payment method. Upon the expiration of the Auction Period (as defined below), the Seller may award the Product to the buyer who entered the highest bid (or largest purchase price). Once awarded to a specific buyer, the Seller shall immediately contact the buyer to arrange and coordinate payment and delivery of the Product.
2.2.Publication of the Auction Listing. Seller may select the current date or designate a date in the future as to when the Auction Listing will be published and the auction commence (“Auction Listing Publication Date”).Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Auction Listing Publication Date may not be later than ninety (90) days from the date that the Auction Listing is submitted to the Platform. Company will undertake good-faith efforts to post the Auction Listing on the Platform on the Auction Listing Publication Date subject to certain exceptions set forth herein.
2.3.Duration of the Auction Listing. Subject to the exceptions set forth herein, the Auction Listing shall be posted on the Platform for an initial period as determined by Seller in the original Auction Listing or as subsequently changed by such Seller (“Auction Period”).The Auction Period shall commence from the Auction Listing Publication Date. Except as otherwise set forth herein, an Auction Listing shall be viewable on the Platform until the end of the Auction Period. Sellers may end an auction before the expiration of the Auction Period. In such event, the Seller shall be obligated to provide written notice to the Company of that fact and the Seller shall modify or remove its Auction Listing accordingly. Seller agrees to inform any and all buyers who submitted bids on the Product of such a change. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall undertake such an action at its own risk and may also lose the potential highest bid if Seller decides to end the auction before the expiration of the Auction Period. Upon the expiration of the Auction Period, unless the Auction Listing has been previously terminated by the Seller, and subject to the exceptions set forth herein, the Auction Listing will be automatically relisted on the Platform for a period of time equivalent to the Auction Period and shall continue to be relisted for this period of time, unless and until Seller deactivates the automatic renewal feature on its setting with respect to that Auction Listing. As such, the Seller shall continue to accrue and be obligated to pay the Company all applicable fees for any relistings, unless and until the expiration of the then-current Auction Period when Seller deactivates the automatic renewal feature. Seller acknowledges that the posting of the Auction Listing is time-sensitive in that the specific time that the Auction Listing is posted to the Platform will be determinative of the expiration of the Auction Period or the effective day of deactivation. By way of example, where the Auction Listing is posted on the Platform on April 1, 2018 at 8:45 a.m., for an initial period of fourteen (14) days, the Auction Period will expire on April 15, 2018 8:45 a.m. Where Seller does not wish to have the Auction Listing automatically relist for the next Auction Period, Seller must deactivate the automatic renewal feature prior to 8:45 a.m. on April 15, 2018.In addition, the Seller expressly acknowledges that depending on how the Seller customized the commencement and expiration dates of the Auction Period, there may be gaps in time in which the Auction Listing is not posted on the Platform. By way of example,if the Seller identifies the Auction Period as from April 15, 2018 to April 16,2018, upon the expiration of the Auction Period, the Auction Listing will be relisted commencing on May 15, 2018 and expiring on May 16, 2018.
2.4.Modifications to the Auction Listings After the Publication Date. If a Seller wants to amend, change, edit, revise, or modify (“Make Modifications”) any of the contents of an original Auction Listing after the Auction Listing Publication Date, Seller may do so, so long as there are no bids placed with respect to that Auction Listing. In addition and with respect to relisted Auction Listings, Seller may Make Modifications to the relisted Auction Listings as follows: (a) prior to the placement of any bids on the Product set forth in the relisted Auction Listing; or (b) where Seller has opted out of the automatic renewal feature of the original Auction Listing, prior to the manual relisting of the Auction Listing. If Seller wishes to Make Modifications after the time set forth herein, Seller may provide a written request to Company identifying the specific changes it would like to make to the Auction Listing including, without limitation, the inclusion of additional or more specific information. Company has complete discretion to grant Seller’s written request or deny it in part or in whole. At this time, there are no additional fees associated with making the requested modifications, so long as the modifications do not change how the Auction Listing is displayed on the Platform, but Company reserves the right to charge fees with respect to same at a later date.
3.1.Mechanics of Classified Listings. Where Seller seeks to have a Classified Listing posted on the Platform, Seller shall post accurate and complete information about the Product in the Classified Listing and potential buyers will be able to review it. Interested buyers will have the option to contact the Seller if interested in purchasing the Product described within the Classified Listing. The Classified Listing may include: Product description and specifications; photos or images of the Product; a price for the Product; the preferred payment method; and the Seller’s contact information, and preferred way of contact. If an interested buyer contacts the Seller, the Seller may negotiate the terms and conditions with respect to the sale of the Product directly with the buyer. All the terms and conditions of the transaction, including, but not limited, to the price, shipping fees, warranty, return/refund policies, and delivery date shall be as established and articulated by the Seller, or as agreed upon by the Seller and the buyer. Seller acknowledges that a buyer may be able to negotiate with several sellers at once and is not necessarily obligated to finalize the deal with any particular Seller.
3.2.Publication of Classified Listing. Once the Seller clicks the “Submit” button to submit the Classified Listing, the Company will undertake commercially reasonable efforts to post it. The date on which the Classified Listing is posted on the Platform is herein referred to as the “Classified Listing Publication Date.” Classified Listings will appear on the Platform in the order in which they are posted. When a new Classified Listing is posted, the prominence of the older Classified Listing will go down.
3.3.Duration of Classified Listing. The Classified Listing shall be posted on the Platform for an initial thirty-day period, commencing from the Classified Listing Publication Date. Thereafter and subject to the exceptions set forth herein, the Classified Listing will be relisted automatically and continue to be published on the Platform for additional thirty-day periods, unless and until Seller provides notice to Company that it no longer wishes to have the Classified Listing relisted on the Platform. Seller shall provide any such notice to Company so that it is received by Company at least two (2) business days prior to the expiration of the respective thirty-day period. If Seller fails to provide timely notice as set forth herein, Seller shall be responsible for all costs that have accrued with respect to the automatic relisting of the Classified Listing on the Platform. In addition, the Classified Listing shall not be relisted for more than eleven (11) thirty-day periods. Importantly, Seller acknowledges that the posting of the Classified Listing is time-sensitive in that the specific time that the Classified Listing is posted to the Platform will be determinative of the expiration of any thirty-day periods. By way of example, where the Classified Listing is posted on the Platform on April 1, 2018 at 8:45 a.m., the initial thirty-day period will expire on May 1, 2018 at 8:45 a.m. Unless Seller provides timely notice to Company that it does not wish to relist the Classified Listing prior to 8:45 a.m. on May 1, 2018, the Classified Listing will be automatically relisted for an additional thirty-day period and Seller shall be responsible for any and all fees relating to same pursuant to this Agreement.
3.4.Modifications to the Classified Listings. Seller may Make Modifications to a Classified Listing at any time. At this time, there are no additional fees associated with Making Modifications to the Classified Listing after the Classified Listing Publication Date if the modifications do not change how the Classified Listing is displayed on the Platform, but Company reserves the right to charge fees with respect to same at a later date.
4.1.Buyer Questions about the Listings. Potential buyers may contact Seller with certain questions or inquiries regarding the Listing or Product contained therein and terms and conditions governing same. If the buyer has asked buyer’s question publicly, then the Seller may elect to answer or respond to the question or inquiry publicly or privately. If Seller elects to answer or respond to the question or inquiry publicly, the buyer’s question or inquiry and Seller’s response to same will be displayed on the Platform in connection with the Listing. A buyer also has the option of making its question or inquiry to Seller public or private. If the buyer elects to make the question or inquiry private, Seller may not elect to make the question or inquiry, or Seller’s answer or response to the same, public. Unless Seller elected to turn off the “notification via email” feature on its account with the Platform, Company will undertake reasonable efforts to notify Seller of any potential buyer’s question or inquiry by emailing the Seller via the Platform master email. It is solely the Seller’s responsibility to ensure that (a) its contact information is accurate, correct, complete and current; (b) it checks its email on a frequent basis; (c) any messages from Company with respect to the Listings does not end up in Seller’s spam or junk mail; and, (d) it responds to any potential buyers’ questions or inquiries in a timely manner and provides truthful, accurate, and complete responses to same. In that regard, Seller acknowledges that its failure to undertake any of the aforementioned responsibilities may hamper or impede a potential sale. Seller acknowledges that the inquiring buyer’s identity and contact information may not be contained within the question, and that the Seller shall have no right to compel the Company to disclose information about the inquiring buyer or any potential buyers.
4.2.Seller’s Terms. It is Seller’s sole responsibility to (a) properly convey and communicate to potential buyers all of the terms and conditions governing the Listings and Products contained therein in a clear and truthful manner; (b) ensure that potential buyers understand and agree to the Seller’s terms and conditions; and (c) enforce the Seller’s terms and conditions against buyers, apart and without the involvement of Company.
5.1.Company Does Not Screen Listings. Company is under no obligation whatsoever to approve, reject, review, or screen Listings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges and agrees that Company has full and sole discretion to approve or reject a Listing in whole or in part, even where the Company permits the Listing to be posted on the Platform initially. Company may reject a Listing for any reason or no reason at all and may postpone the publication of a Listing to a later time, without the prior approval of Seller.
5.2.Seller Must Perform Its Own Due Diligence with Respect to Potential Buyers. Company does not make any representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to potential buyers who respond to the Listings including, without limitation, any representations or warranties as to the buyer’s identity, viability or its ability to complete a certain transaction. As Company does not screen potential buyers, it cannot make any representations as to the identity or credit worthiness of a buyer. Rather, Seller must perform its own due diligence and proceed at its own risk when engaging in a transaction with a buyer. In that regard, Seller has full authority and discretion to reject any potential buyers including, without limitation, the highest bidder with respect to the Auction Listing.
For a separate fee, as set forth below in more detail, Seller may elect to set up a “Store Front” on the Platform, which may display a summary of the Seller’s Products that are the subject of the then-current Seller’s Listings. In that regard, Seller can upload its logo, website, contact information, links to its Products that are the subject of the Listings and load its own auctions in its own categories. At Seller’s option, Seller may include information about itself and additional information such as “Frequently Asked Questions” within its Store Front pages and may include answers to questions about the terms and conditions governing Listings. Seller may also elect to utilize one of the Website’s templates (“Templates”) to design the Store Front. Website users will be able to search for a specific seller’s Products by searching the Seller’s contact information. In setting up the Store Front, Seller may incorporate certain key words and/or meta-data for purposes of directing potential buyers, who search for those key words and/or meta-data, to the Store Front. In that regard, Seller acknowledges that (a) Seller’s selection of key words and/or meta-data may not be exclusive in that other sellers may have the ability to select similar key words and/or meta-data; and (b) Company is under no obligation to screen and/or monitor any selected key words and/or meta-data for any purpose including, without limitation, for purposes of ensuring that the other sellers’ keywords and/or meta-data is not infringing Seller’s trademark or other rights. Seller agrees to only utilize those key words and/or meta-data that accurately describe the Product and/or Store Front and may not utilize the names, marks, logos and/or other intellectual property of any third parties including, without limitation, its competitors. In addition to the Indemnification obligations outlined in the Terms and Conditions of the Website and without limiting or impairing them in any manner, Seller shall further indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and the Company Parties (as defined herein) from and against any and all liability, damage, loss or expense (including actual attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation incurred by or imposed upon the party arising from any claim against them, directly or indirectly) related directly or indirectly to any of the Seller’s acts or omissions set forth in this paragraph. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Company may, at its complete and sole discretion, delete, omit, remove and/or modify any of the key words and/or meta-data provided by Seller or any other content from a Store Front. Further, Company makes no representations and/or warranties whatsoever regarding the prominence and/or visibility of the Store Front and the links relating to same and does not undertake any obligations and/or duties to perform search engine optimization services for Seller.
6.1.Duration of Store Front.Once Seller submits the Store Front to be displayed on the Platform, the Store Front will initially be displayed on the Platform for a period of thirty (30) calendar days. Thereafter and subject to the exceptions set forth herein, the Store Front will continue to be displayed on the Platform for additional thirty-day periods, unless and until Seller notifies Company that it no longer seeks to have the Store Front displayed (“Store Front Term”). In addition, Seller acknowledges and agrees that it shall provide separate notices to Company to terminate the Store Front and any Listings. In other words, though the Company shall have discretion to terminate all aspects of the Seller’s account, including any and all Listings and the Store Front, the Seller’s termination of any one aspect shall not automatically terminate the other features that it is using. Furthermore, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Store Front does not terminate automatically by virtue of the Seller not having any Listings on the Platform. Rather, Store Front Fees (as defined below) shall continue to accrue even if the Seller does not have any Listings on the Platform unless and until Seller provides notice to Company that it no longer seeks to have the Store Front displayed. The commencement date for each monthly period will be the anniversary date of when the Seller submitted the Store Front to be displayed on the Platform (“Store Front Commencement Date”).
6.2.Limited License. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Company is only granting it a fully revocable, limited license to utilize the Templates in connection with the Store Front during the Store Front Term. Upon the expiration of the Store Front Term, Company shall undertake commercially reasonable efforts to remove the Store Front within a reasonable time thereafter and Seller shall immediately cease from utilizing the Templates and any intellectual property related to the same in any manner. Seller shall be responsible for any and all Store Front Fees until the Company removes the Store Front from the Platform.

Seller agrees that, in the event of any breach of any provision hereof by the Seller, Company will not have an adequate remedy in money or damages. Seller therefore agrees that in such event, Company shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against such breach, without the necessity of posting a bond even if otherwise normally required. Such injunctive relief will in no way limit Company’s right to obtain other remedies available under applicable law. Moreover, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to bring an action for such injunctive relief anywhere in the world, and the jurisdiction and venue provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed to prohibit the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event of Company’s breach of any of the provisions herein, Seller will have an adequate remedy in money or damages. As such, Seller agrees that it is not entitled to injunctive relief or specific performance including, without limitation, obtaining a court order to shut down the Platform where Company breaches this Agreement.
