3.1 Business Buyers Only This platform operates exclusively on a business-to-business (B2B) trade basis. All sales are made to buyers acting in the course of a trade, business, craft or profession. By registering on and using this platform, you confirm and warrant that:
3.2 Entire Agreement This Contract constitutes the entire agreement between you and us. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any representation, promise, or warranty not expressly stated in these Terms. No other terms, whether implied by trade, custom, or practice, will apply.
3.3 Language These Terms and the Contract are provided in English only.
3.4 Retention of Terms We recommend that you save or print a copy of these Terms for your records.
As a third-party marketplace, the Seller of Record for each product may vary. The applicable Seller of Record will be clearly identified in each product listing. References to «we» or «us» in these Terms include the relevant Seller of Record where the context requires.
5.1 Images and Descriptions Images on the Website are for general illustrative purposes only and may not accurately represent the Goods. Colours, sizes, styles, and dimensions shown in images or listing titles are approximate and may vary. The binding description of the Goods is the written textual description set out in the relevant listing. Where there is any conflict between an image or listing title and the written description, the written description shall prevail.
5.2 Accuracy of Information Due to the nature of liquidation stock, all sizes, weights, and measurements stated in listings are approximate. Variations of ±10% in inventory quantity may occur.
5.3 Condition — «As Is, Where Is» Unless otherwise stated, Goods are sold «as is, where is, with all faults». Implied terms regarding satisfactory quality and fitness for purpose are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
5.4 Packaging Goods may be delivered in packaging that differs from Website images.
5.5 Specification Changes We may amend Goods specifications to the extent necessary to meet statutory or regulatory requirements.
5.6 Stock Categories
5.7 Lot Composition Each Lot is unique in composition and may contain a mix of items in varying conditions.
5.8 No Warranties on Lots No guarantees or warranties are given regarding the composition, condition, or individual item contents of any Lot, except as expressly stated in the relevant listing.
Stated weights are used solely for the purpose of calculating delivery charges and are not a guarantee of the physical weight of any item or Lot.
UK: For parcels, delivery charges are calculated based on the actual physical weight of the item. For pallets, the listed weight is set at a standard rate of 500KG per pallet regardless of actual weight. This figure is used solely to provide a consistent basis for pallet delivery pricing, as charges are applied on a per-pallet basis.
EU: All weights listed on Jobalots listings for EU deliveries are calculated using volumetric weight, not physical weight. Our logistics partners calculate shipping charges on a volumetric basis, and we charge accordingly. Volumetric weight is calculated using the standard formula applied by our logistics partner at the time of dispatch.
7.1 Binding Bids By placing a bid, you irrevocably offer to purchase the Goods if your bid is successful. Each bid constitutes a legally binding offer to buy the specified Goods on these Terms. You may not withdraw a bid once placed.
7.2 Proxy Bidding For proxy bids, the minimum proxy bid is calculated as: Current bid + (4 × incremental bid amount).
Example: Current bid £42, incremental bid £3 — Minimum proxy bid: £42 + (4 × £3) = £54.
7.3 Accuracy of Bids You are responsible for reviewing and confirming the accuracy of all bid details before submission.
7.4 Reserve Price Some items may have a seller-set minimum reserve price. If the reserve price is not met, the item will not be sold. We reserve the right, acting reasonably, to reject bids that do not reflect reasonable value.
7.5 Acknowledgement of Order Following a successful auction, you will receive an acknowledgement email. This acknowledgement does not constitute our acceptance of your order.
7.6 Order Acceptance An order is only formally accepted by us upon our issuing a Dispatch Confirmation. Until a Dispatch Confirmation is issued, no binding contract of sale exists. Goods designated for collection must be collected within 48 hours of the Dispatch Confirmation.
7.7 Our Right to Reject Orders We may decline to accept any order, acting reasonably, before a Dispatch Confirmation is issued. If an order is rejected after payment has been received, a full refund including any delivery charges will be processed promptly.
7.8 Auction Queries Questions about Goods may be submitted during an active auction. We will endeavour to respond accurately, but no warranty is given as to the completeness or accuracy of any response.
7.9 Aftersales These Terms also apply to Goods purchased through aftersales channels.

By participating in and purchasing through a pallet auction, you confirm that:
If any of the above conditions are not met and this results in a failed, aborted, or re-attempted delivery, all associated charges — including re-delivery fees, storage costs, and carrier surcharges — shall be the sole responsibility of the buyer.
8.1 Prices and Delivery Charges Exclude VAT The price of Goods and any applicable delivery charges are exclusive of VAT. VAT will be charged in addition at the rate in force at the time of your order.

If we identify a pricing error affecting your order, we will contact you to offer the option of proceeding at the correct price or cancelling the order. If we cannot reach you, the order will be treated as cancelled. Where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable, we may cancel the order and issue a full refund.
9.1 Obligation to Pay By placing a winning bid, you are contractually obliged to complete payment for those Goods.
9.2 Accepted Payment Methods We accept payment by the methods displayed at checkout. Accepted payment methods may be updated from time to time; the methods currently available will always be shown during the checkout process.
