ZOKA ONLINE AUCTION TERMS & CONDITIONS These are the Terms and conditions to register, bid and buy with Zoka Online Auction. Please read these terms carefully. Registering, bidding and buying with Zoka Online Auction indicates your agreement to these Terms and Conditions. Participation in our auctions implies agreement with all our terms. These terms may be modified or amended on occasion and are a binding contract between Zoka Online Auction ("Zoka OA", ZOA”) ("we" and/or "us", etc.) and you ("you", "bidder", "purchaser"). ZOKA ONLINE AUCTION We are an online Auction that features various products from various walks of life. Some are sealed and some are open boxes, mainly customer returns from online retailers, overstock shelf pulls and unclaimed packages. Please be mindful that we are not a retail store that sells only new products, so please make sure to check the description, as we will always mention any discrepancies there. We will hold some specialty Auctions as well! Occasionally, we will feature a Collectors Edition Auction, or a Gemstone Auction. If you have any questions or concerns, we will do our best to assist. REGISTRATION & IDENTIFICATION It is important to provide accurate information in relation to your credit card. The address on file must match the billing address on your file for payment to go through. At the time of registration, we collect minimal information about you to verify who you are before you can bid. All bidders must be of legal age to bid. We reserve the right to deny registration at our discretion. PAYMENT FOR PURCHASES We accept Cash, E-Transfer, Debit, Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal. E-transfers are to be sent to ZokaOnlineAuction@gmail.com. No password is required. Please indicate your name and BidCard number in the message section of your E-Transfer. Payment may also be made online via credit card on our website, www.ZokaOnlineAuction.ca All payments must be fully paid/arranged by the Friday following the auction. If payment or an arrangement to pay has not been established by said Friday, your items have a high potential of being considered abandoned, and a very high risk of getting blocked from bidding with Zoka Online Auction. If you purchase an item(s), you MUST pay for that item(s) even if you do not pick it up or arrange for shipping. Your invoice is a bill of sale and must be treated accordingly. NOTE: Failure to pay for winning items can result in credit bureau actions and/or a negative file which may affect registrations with other Ontario auctions. PAYMENTS & CHARGES A 16.1% Buyers Premium plus HST is applied to all invoices. This Buyers Premium is standard for all payment types. BIDDING Once you bid on an item, and win the lot at auction close, you are under contract to pay for that item. Bid cancellations are not accepted. We are not able to remove a bid once it has been placed, therefore, please place all bids with careful consideration. All our bids are final and cannot be reversed. Please do your due diligence in making sure that you do want the product before placing a bid. Bidding by any mistake will not apply to Return and Refund Policy. Zoka Online Auction reserves the right to void a bid that you place, whether winning or not, which we believe (i) has not been made in good faith and in accordance with these Terms; or (ii) is intended to manipulate our Services. Zoka OA reserves the right to cancel, revert or delete any bids and/or max bids, winning or otherwise, at any time for any reason irrespective if the lot is open or closed. You may place a max bid on Listed Item(s). When you place a max bid, our bidding technology will automatically place bids on your behalf, using the smallest increment necessary to ensure you remain the high bidder until your max bid is met. If another bidder has placed the same bid before you, or a max bid that is higher than yours, we will attempt to let you know that you have been outbid. In that situation, you may attempt to place another bid within the specific auction time. Please be advised, Zoka Online Auction is not responsible for the security of your HiBid account and hence any bids placed from your account that result in an invoice are binding and are the sole responsibility of the account holder. I / anyone else utilising your account with or without your knowledge is not the responsibility of Zoka OA. Any invoices under your name or account are the responsibility of the account holder and payment will be charged in full on the invoice. Buyers are advised to secure their accounts and avoid sharing account details with anyone to avoid any unexpected charges or invoices. No exceptions or requests will be entertained by Zoka OA. You can ask questions about products during the auction using the "Contact Auctioneer" button. We will do our best to answer all questions in a timely manner. Any questions sent within 24 hours of the auction closing, may not be answered as we will be very busy with preparations. PROHIBITED BIDDER CONDUCT Any deliberate attempt to artificially influence the sale price of any Listed Item(s), directly or indirectly, including but not limited to bidding through a secondary account, agent, or representative, bidding on Listed Item(s) that you may also be selling, communicating with other Bidders, or shill bidding is expressly prohibited and may result in an account ban.

IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO PICK UP WITHIN THE TIME, PLEASE SEND US AN EMAIL TO ZOKAONLINEAUCTION@GMAIL.COM LISTED PRODUCTS The majority of our products are returned merchandise. Items could be missing parts, damaged, not the exact item in the box or nothing wrong at all. Our very best efforts are made to ensure all items are represented accurately in the photographs and descriptions. All items are ultimately sold on an “as is, where is” basis, with all faults. Bidders are strongly encouraged to read the full description of each lot and carefully review the in-house photos of the actual item(s) (those following the retail image) prior to placing any bid. Bidding on an item means that the bidder accepts the notion that the item is being sold “AS IS, WHERE IS”. The in-house photo is exactly what you are purchasing. The in-house photo will ALWAYS preside over the retail photo. No responsibility is assumed by Zoka Online Auction or the seller for any errors or omissions. Please be aware that many of the items we sell require assembly and is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Retail prices may sometimes be included which are figures that come from manifests and may be outdated, may not consider sales etc. These retail prices are for idea reference only and hold no bearing on the actual sale/purchase of the item or the price it may be purchased elsewhere for. Please do your own research with regards to any retail prices included. This is a Returns auction. Items range from electronics, furniture, liquidated grocery, and household items. Items are not inspected unless specified. Please be aware that items may have some imperfections. Items could be missing parts, damaged, not the exact item in the box or in most cases nothing wrong at all. This accepted risk is the reason items can be sold at a fraction of the retail cost. There may be references in relation to the condition of an item which are OPINIONS; i.e. “NEW” would indicate that to the best of our knowledge the item appears to be unused. (This DOES NOT mean it is a factory sealed item); “USED” would indicate that it is our opinion that the item has previously been used in some fashion; “FACTORY SEALED” or “SEALED” or “UNOPENED” means that it appears the item is sealed as it arrived and appears it has not been opened whatsoever; No condition listed on a lot means that we have no opinion or that the in-house photos show the obvious. It is the bidders responsibility to form their own opinions based on the in-house photos. While we do our best to inspect items, we cannot thoroughly inspect all items. All items are sold "AS IS" and are FINAL SALE. All food/grocery items are sealed unless otherwise stated. This may not apply to the outer box of the item. We have included best before dates for applicable lots. If a best before date is not included, it means we weren't able to read it or locate it. Some best before dates may be past the present day. There is no law against selling food past its best before date. You can buy and eat foods after the best before date has passed. However, after the listed best before date has passed, the product may lose some of its freshness, flavour and/or nutritional value. It’s texture may have also changed. Each lot is for one (1) item, unless otherwise specified in the lot or description. Tax deductions will be automatically applied on applicable grocery items. All food and grocery items are non-refundable. Zoka Online Auction provides no warranty regarding shelf life or food safety related to any items, food or beverage products being sold.

ONLINE BIDDING As Zoka Online Auction is an online auction, please keep in mind that the connection to the internet is not absolutely reliable. Connection problems can happen between or within our office, between or within the software servers, and/or between or within bidders and potential bidders. We cannot be held responsible for any of the above possible issues, or for your bids not making it into the system. SOFT CLOSE Auction items will close at regular intervals. To prevent a bidder from “sniping”, all bids made in the last minute of the auction will force an item to stay open for an additional 3 minutes. This will continue until all bidding has ceased. STRATEGY We recommend that all bidders put in their maximum bid when placing a bid online. This does not mean you will have to pay the maximum amount you bid; you only pay one bid more than the next highest bid, and only up to your maximum bid. The software system will play out the bids as you would at a live auction and only uses the funds required to beat out the under-bidder at the prescribed bid increment.
