5.1 Pickles Asia has the absolute right to regulate the bidding process in relation to the Auction and has the right to stipulate any rules and regulations pertaining to any part of the Auction process. Pickles Asia has the right to refuse any bids which do not, in the opinion of Pickles Asia, comply with the terms stated herein or any of the rules or regulations stipulated by Pickles Asia. A right to bid on behalf of the Seller is reserved.

5.2 During the Auction, the Lots will be displayed on a screen (and in the Online Platforms, on the screen of the Bidder’s device) in accordance with their Lot numbers in ascending order. Other information which may be displayed include but is not limited to the following:

(a) The Lot number.

(b) A picture(s) of the Lot together with its Inspection Report (where applicable).

(c) The make, model, year of manufacture and odometer reading of the Lot (where applicable).

5.3 The estimated retail price stated in Clause 5.2(f) above is in no way a definitive assessment of the actual retail value of the Lot which may differ due to external factors such as, but not limited to the physical condition of the Lot. Any reliance on the estimated retail price of the Lot shall be at the Member’s own risk.

5.4 Bids are to be submitted either by the raising of a Bidding Card by Bidders or by clicking on the [“BID”] icon on the Online Platform. Price increments per Bid will vary and are at the sole discretion of Pickles Asia. No other forms of bidding such as shouting, hand-raising etc. will be accepted.

5.5 The last Bidder (as recorded in Pickles Asia’s database) with the highest bidding price that meets or exceeds the Seller’s Reserve Price for the Lot will become the successful Buyer of the Lot and his winning Bid shall be the Purchase Price. For the avoidance of doubt, the record in Pickle Asia’s database is the final and may not be disputed irrespective if a Bid is submitted before the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer.

5.6 Where the outcome is an Offer as shown in your Pickles Auctions mobile or web app, this means that your bid is below the Seller's Reserve Price and is not sold to you yet. Pickles Asia will inform the Seller of your bid and will conclude the deal between you and the Seller.

At the end of every winning Bid on a Lot, the Auction will move on to the next Lot and the same process stated in Clauses 5.4 and 5.5 will be repeated.

5.7 In an Auction where Online Bidding is permitted, Bidders may conduct pre-bidding via the Online Platforms prior to the commencement of the Auction. In the event there are no other Bidders for that particular Lot or that there are no higher bids submitted during the Auction, the pre-bidding Bidder will become the successful Buyer of the Lot and the Buyer is deemed to have voluntarily entered into a Transaction with the Seller in respect of his winning Bid.

6. SUCCESSFULLY BIDDED LOTS

6.1 At the conclusion of the Auction, the Buyer will be required to execute and deliver to Pickles Asia a Memorandum of Contract for the purchase of the Lot successfully bidded for:

(a) Where the Buyer has participated in an Onsite Auction or by way of Onsite Bidding, immediately after the conclusion of the Auction.

(b) Where the Buyer has participated by way of Online Bidding other than while he is physically present at an Onsite Auction, by the next Business Day, provided always that such Memorandum of Contract shall not in any way be construed as Pickles Auction being considered to be the Seller or as an agent of the Seller or otherwise impose any of the Seller’s responsibilities onto Pickles save in the case where Pickles is the owner of the Lot.

6.2 The Balance Purchase Price for all successfully bidded Lots shall be paid in full by the Buyer to Pickles Asia within the Payment Period and on the terms as stipulated by the Seller’s Terms or seven (7) Calendar Days.

6.3 Once full payment of the Balance Purchase Price for all successfully bidded Lots has been made and subject to the Seller’s Terms, the Seller may provide a Release Letter to the Buyer. Except where the Buyer has appointed Pickles Asia to provide assistance and facilitate the transfer process for the Lot on behalf of the Buyer, the Buyer has one (1) Business Day from the issuance of the Release Letter to resolve any outstanding fees and or charges with Pickles Asia (if any) and collect and remove the successfully purchased Lot(s) from Pickles Asia’s store yard (or such other premises to be determined).

6.3A Where a Buyer has successfully bidded for multiple Lots but has only made full payment of the Balance Purchase Price for some but not all of those Lots, Pickles Asia may at its complete discretion decline to release any of the successfully bidded Lots from Pickles Asia’s store yard until full payment of the Balance Purchase Price for all of the successfully bidded Lots of the Buyer has been satisfied provided always that Pickles Asia may at its discretion permit the release of any individual Lot which has been paid in full from Pickles Asia’s store yard (or such other premises to where the Lot is stored), without prejudice to its rights or any other remedies it may have in respect of any Lot.

6.4 Default of any of the payments of Balance Purchase Price for a particular Lot and/or the failure to execute the “Memorandum of Contract” for a particular Lot within the period as stipulated in Clause 6.1 above (each constituting a “Forfeited Transaction” and collectively “Forfeited Transactions”) shall render the Transaction void. In the case of such Forfeited Transaction(s), the Seller may elect to put the Lot up for re-auction, and the defaulting Buyer shall be liable to the Seller for any costs of any such re-auction. Where the defaulting Buyer had successfully bidded for more than one Lot but has only made payment of the Balance Purchase Price for some but not all of the successfully bidded Lots within the prescribed timeframe and/or the Buyer has failed to execute the “Memorandum of Contract” in respect of one of more of the successfully bidded Lots, then, save where Pickles Asia decides otherwise in its full discretion, each of the other successfully bidded Lots shall also be deemed to be Forfeited Transactions.

6.5 For each Forfeited Transaction, the Deposit shall be forfeited in favour of Pickles Asia and Pickles Asia is entitled to deduct the Forfeiture Sum from the credit remaining in the Buyer’s membership account. In the event the available amount in the Buyer’s account is insufficient to offset the amount owed by the Buyer to Pickles Asia in relation to the Forfeiture Sum, the Buyer’s account may be suspended until such time as the Buyer has fully paid the outstanding amount owed via cash, credit card or online banking to Pickles Asia. All Forfeiture Sums relating to a Forfeited Transaction must be paid within ten (10) days of the date that the Transaction became a Forfeited Transaction, failing which Forfeiture Interest shall accrue until the entirety of the Forfeiture Sum has been fully paid.

6.6 All Lots successfully won at an Auction shall be stored by or on behalf of Pickles Asia from the date of the Transaction up until the full payment of the Purchase Price has been made (“Interim Period”), whereupon the ownership of the Lot shall be deemed passed to the Buyer. After the expiry of the Interim Period, Pickles Asia shall not be liable for any loss or damage to the Lots notwithstanding that such Lots remain in the custody of Pickles Asia.

6.7 The Buyer agrees (i) to collect the Lot no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days from the conclusion of the Auction (“Collection Period”), and (ii) that for so long as the Lot remains in Pickles Asia’s possession/storage, the Buyer agrees to grant a lien over the Lot in favour of Pickles Asia as continuing security for amounts owing at the time or in the future in respect of the Lot.

6.7A The Buyer further agrees that:

(a) Storage Charges of RM50 per Lot shall apply for each day the Lot remains in Pickles Asia’s possession/storage after the seventh (7th) calendar day from the conclusion of the Auction.

(b) if the Buyer fails to collect the Lot within the Collection Period, Pickles Asia shall have all the rights of a pawnee under the Malaysian Contracts Act 1950 in respect of the said Lot, including but not limited to the right to sell the Lot at a re-auction. The proceeds of the re-auction shall be used to set off against any accrued Storage Charges owing to Pickles Asia and all other costs and expenses incurred or ancillary to the re-Auction arising from the Buyer’s default, and the balance shall be deposited into the Buyer’s Member’s Account.

6.8 After the expiry of the Interim Period, Pickles Asia shall not be liable for any loss or damage to the Lots notwithstanding that such Lots remain in the custody of Pickles Asia.

6.9 The Buyer acknowledges that, as the Lots do not include the vehicle registration numbers, access to the vehicle(s) may be required by Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan Malaysia (“JPJ”) for inspection at any time during normal working hours, and the Buyer hereby agrees and consents to such access being granted and shall take all reasonable endeavours to grant such access to the officers and representatives of JPJ at the location which such acquired Lots are located.

7. GOODS AND SERVICES TAX

8.1 The Buyer shall be entitled to collect the Lot(s) from Pickles Asia immediately upon issuance of the Release Letter in respect of such Lot(s). Upon delivery of a valid Release Letter to the designated Pickles Asia office, Pickles Asia shall issue a gate pass for the relevant Lot(s) to the Buyer which shall permit the Buyer to remove the Lot(s) from Pickles Asia’s store yard (or such other premises where the Lot(s) is located).

8.2 Except where Pickles Asia has been appointed to provide assistance and facilitate the transfer process on behalf of the Buyer, the Buyer shall collect and remove the relevant Lot from Pickles Asia’s store yard (or such other premises where the Lot is located) within one (1) Business Day after the date of the Release Letter, failing which Pickles Asia shall be entitled to charge the Storage Charges in accordance with Clause 6.7A.

8.3 Subject to any additional requirements contained in the Seller’s terms & conditions (if any), upon the Seller shall provide the Buyer with a full set of the Transfer Documents:

(a) Upon full settlement of the Purchase Price in respect of non-salvage vehicles and other categories of Lots other than salvage vehicles.

Pickles Asia shall in no event be obliged to provide the Buyer or Principal with an estimate of such Transfer Costs and should Pickles Asia be required to bear any of these Transfer Costs, the Buyer shall reimburse Pickles Asia in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pickles Asia may provide assistance and facilitate the transfer process on behalf of the Buyer including facilitating the inspection of any vehicles by PUSPAKOM for a fee to be agreed separately. For the avoidance of doubt, Pickles Asia shall not be held liable for any loss or damage caused to the Lots during the process of transfer of ownership. Where the Buyer is a foreigner, the Buyer may be required to provide proof of legal entry and/or visa for residence in Malaysia.

8.5 As the registration numbers do not form part of the Lot, any costs, fees, and expenses relating to the transfer of vehicle registration numbers (including any taxes, duties, levies or interest thereon) shall be borne by the previous owner of the vehicle and shall not in any event be borne by Pickles Asia.

Please see each Seller's Terms and Conditions as there are Sellers that will charge a penalty if the repairs takes more than 120 days, irrespective of the reason(s) for delay.
