2.1. Specific conditions.
The specific conditions of each auction shall prevail over these general conditions.

3. Publication of Auctions.
Auctions shall be published on the website www.gobid.es indicating the conduct dates and the catalogue of lots.
 
4. Conduct of Auctions. 
Each Auction shall be published on the website www.gobid.es according to the terms and conditions set out in the General and Specific Conditions. GOBID ESPAÑA SL reserves the right to cancel, extend or interrupt the Auction at its own discretion.
The registered user expressly consents to and accepts all objective and subjective problems and conflicts that may arise from the use of an online Auction, and states that GOBID ESPAÑA SL is exempt from all liability for any loss or damage caused as a result thereof.
 
Any liability of GOBID ESPAÑA SL for damages or losses caused to the registered user directly and/or indirectly is excluded, limiting such liability solely to cases in which there is wilful misconduct or gross negligence.
GOBID ESPAÑA SL shall in no way be liable for the user's own actions that cause damage, malfunction, incorrect display and/or improper use of the website www.gobid.es, whether prior to, simultaneous with or after the auction process.
In all matters not provided for in the general conditions, the provisions contained in the terms of use of the website www.gobid.es shall apply. 

5. Participation in Auctions.
The user registered on the page www.gobid.es shall be required to register for each Auction, accepting the General Conditions and the Specific Conditions in order to participate.
If a deposit is required to participate in the Auction, the registered user shall not be authorized to participate without prior authorization from GOBID ESPAÑA SL. Authorization shall be granted by GOBID ESPAÑA SL only once the deposit has been received. The methods of payment of the deposit shall be indicated in the Specific Conditions of the Auction.
Users who have participated in the procedure but have not been awarded any asset shall receive their deposit within 20 business days following the conclusion of the Auction and without interest.
Users who participate in the auction and are awarded one or more lots shall receive their deposit once they have collected the acquired goods, settled any costs for complementary services, and completed the acquisition of the goods acquired at auction by carrying out the bureaucratic procedures provided for in the sale, and always with prior authorization from the Principal. In these cases, the deposit may be deducted from costs that may be generated as complementary services, as well as from other costs at the discretion of the Principal.
 
If the purchaser has paid the deposit by debit/credit card, GOBID ESPAÑA SL shall refund it by bank transfer once the goods have been collected and the acquisition has been completed as set out in the previous paragraph.
 
The deposit shall be retained in the event of non-compliance with the general payment terms for awarded lots.

6. Submission of bids.
Bids aimed at acquiring the lots published on the platform may be made by registered users authorized to participate in the Auction and shall be collected within each lot sheet present on www.gobid.es.
Bids shall always be binding to the verification of the indicated prices and the increment conditions.
 
GOBID SPAIN SL reserves the right to cancel any bid in the event that inconsistencies are found between the General Conditions and the Specific Conditions thereof.
 
Bids may be of two types, static or dynamic (proxy bid):
A simple static bid is considered a fixed-price bid.
The maximum dynamic bid (proxy bid) is considered a dynamic-price bid per lot, not visible to other users.
When a registered user places a static bid, it may be outbid by a bid from other users. In this case, the user will be required to place another static bid in order to be awarded the lot.
If the registered user places a maximum bid (proxy bid), it will remain valid until it is outbid by a bid from other users that is higher than the established maximum bid. The increments will be automatic and will be based on the indicated minimum values, with a view to exceeding the other bids submitted up to reaching the maximum amount entered.
Bids will be accepted until the end date and time indicated for the specific Auction. If bids are registered in the last 5 minutes, the deadline for placing bids will be extended by a period established in the Specific Conditions of each Auction.
 
6.1 Auction without minimum price
 
In the case of auctions without a minimum price, the user may offer an amount equal to the indicated amount or increase it by the recommended minimum increment using the corresponding sliders, or may enter the amount they wish to offer.
 
Bids placed will be considered irrevocable.
When a user submits a bid, it may be outbid by a bid from other users. In this case, the user will have to submit a new static bid in order to become the highest bidder and compete for the award of the lot.
 
7. Award of lots.
At the end of each auction, the provisional award phase for the lots will begin. This phase will have a maximum duration of 48 business hours, unless otherwise established in the Specific Conditions. During this phase, a provisional award confirmation will be sent to the highest bidder. GOBID SPAIN SL reserves the right to interrupt or cancel the auction or the award of the lots before the end of the auction at its unquestionable discretion.
 
The award is subject to receipt of the deposit (if provided).
If the provisional awardee fails to comply with the obligations set out in the established terms, the award will be made in favor of the bidder who made the next best bid, and so on.
Bids placed are binding and constitute a formal commitment to purchase.
 
 
8. Payment.
The registered user awarded one or more lots is required to comply with the Specific Conditions of the Auction, which will specify the terms of payment, collection, and compensation clauses in the event of non-compliance. If payment of the amounts due is not completed within the established terms, the sale will be automatically deemed terminated. The user will lose the deposit (if provided), which will be retained as compensation with consequent forfeiture of the award, in agreement with the Principal. The existence of any damage detected after collection of the awarded lots will be entirely at the buyer's expense.
 

9. Warranties
Any liability of GOBID SPAIN SL relating to the existence of total or partial errors in the descriptions of the lots offered for sale is excluded. For each Auction, its own Specific Conditions will be published, detailing the specific information about it and its lots. In addition, for all matters not provided for in the general conditions, the provisions contained in the terms of use of the website www.gobid.es will apply.

In all matters not expressly provided for in the general and specific conditions, the provisions set out in the procedure and, for matters not regulated therein, those established in the Insolvency Act and the Civil Procedure Act will apply, which will only apply on a supplementary basis.
The lots will be sold in the condition in which they are found.

Visiting the lots offered for sale is expressly recommended in order to verify their actual condition and state. GOBID SPAIN SL and the process bodies are released from liability for any errors, omissions, and inaccuracies in the photos, descriptions, and other details expressed in the catalogue of the lots offered for sale. For this reason, GOBID SPAIN SL will make various means available to interested parties so that they can carry out these visits to the goods in auctions.
GOBID SPAIN SL and the procedure bodies do not recognize any type of post-sale warranty in favor of purchasers, expressly denying any right of this nature.
By accepting these conditions, the purchaser releases GOBID SPAIN SL and the procedure bodies from any liability for warranty rights or third-party rights over the goods subject to the sale.

GOBID SPAIN SL is not liable for damages or losses caused directly and/or indirectly, limiting such liability solely to cases where there is willful misconduct or gross negligence on its part.
GOBID SPAIN SL is in no way liable for the user's own actions that cause damage, malfunction, incorrect display, and/or improper use of the website www.gobid.es
Any liability of GOBID SPAIN SL for system malfunction that may harm or delay the delivery of communications to the registering user is excluded.
The competitive procedure may be suspended and/or postponed at the discretion of GOBID SPAIN SL in agreement with the Principal, whether for technical reasons of connection to the system that may depend on server or network malfunction, or at its own judgment for various reasons.
The records present in the log file generated by the system constitute full and exclusive evidence between all parties to this procedure, in relation to the content and timing of the documents/messages exchanged by email. The persons who register declare and acknowledge that the system records constitute full evidence of the relations between the parties. Such records are confidential and will not be disclosed to third parties, except in cases expressly provided for or under order of the Judicial Authority.
For all matters not provided for in the general conditions, the provisions contained in the terms of use of the website www.gobid.es will apply.
