V8
Online Auction Rules
Bidding process
Before you can post a bid you will need to register as a bidder
("Registered Bidder") and to do this you will need to
complete an online registration form providing the essential contact
information and certain MGV8 vehicle data. Note: Registered
Bidders must be current members of the MG Car Club.
Online registration form
When you click the SEND button at the foot of that registration
form, that registration data is sent automatically to the V8 Webmaster.
You will get an automatic response with details of how to calculate
your personal bidding code ("Personal Bidding Code") which
you will need to use when making bids. You
will need to make a copy of that webpage and keep it for future
reference.
Only bids quoting a valid Personal Bidding Code will be accepted.
Any bids without a valid code or with a false code will be removed
from the V8 Bulletin Board by the V8 Webmaster.
All bids for an item up for auction on the V8 Register website
shall each be posted as a message on the V8 Bulletin Board which
can be accessed directly using the rollover link alongside or by
using the V8 Bulletin Board rollover link on the homepage of the
V8 Register Website. All bids posted on the V8 Bulletin Board shall
contain the information indicated in the bid format set out in the
panel alongside ("Bid Format").
The start date and time for bids will be announced by the
V8 Webmaster on the V8 Bulletin Board. That announcement will state
the starting date and time ("Stating Date and Time") and
the closing date and time for bids ("Closing Date and Time").
All times posted shall be GMT. A Registered Bidder may post as many
bids as they wish within this period.
The price must be expressed in Pounds Sterling (GBP). That Bid Price
will not include any post and packaging or other costs and taxes
associated with delivering the item to the successful Registered
Bidder. Those costs will have to be paid by the successful Registered
Bidder in addition to their final Bid Price. The sale is not liable
to VAT.
Personal Bidding Code
Following your registration as a Registered Bidder, you will receive
an automatic response with a Personal Bidding Code. How you use
that code will be explained in that response but the essential
feature is the code will change each day you bid. The changes
you will have to make will be changes made using the instructions
in that response. Without that safeguard other users of the V8 Bulletin
Board would be able to place bids using any code disclosed by earlier
Registered Bidders and hence create chaos.

shall be posted as a message on the V8 Bulletin Board including:
Select topic: in the drop down list select "Online
Auction".
Name: you may either use your full
name (in the usual way postings are made on the V8
Bulletin Board) or you can simply quote
your current Personal Bidding Code. This is an exception
to our normal requirement on the V8 Bulletin Board that all
users posting messages must disclose their full name because
we are aware that some bidders would prefer not to disclose
their name when bidding for an item at auction on the V8 Bulletin
Board. However all bidders must disclose their full name when
registering as a bidder.
Email: Enter your email address
here but do note it is not revealed in your posting as displayed
on the V8 Bulletin Board.
Subject: in the subject line type "Auction:
V8 exhaust manifold"
Message: this section of your posting must contain only
the following two items of information:
1. Bid Price
This is the price in Pounds Sterling (GBP) you, as a Registered
Bidder, offer to purchase the item for at auction. The price
must be expressed in Pounds Sterling (GBP). Note there is a
reserve price.
2. Personal Bidding Code
Quote your current code using the Personal Bidding Code and
instructions in the automated response you will have received
following registration. Note you will have to recalculate
your code each day you make a bid.
No
other comments may be included in a bid posting on the V8
Bulletin Board. In particular please do not include any contact
information like email addresses or telephone numbers with your
bid posting on the V8 Bulletin Board or in any other posting
on the V8 Bulletin Board or on any other bulletin board or forum
where the subject matter relates to the item up for auction
on the V8 Website. |

Force
Majeure
Sadly we are aware that spammers and other miserable individuals are
seeking ways of interfering with websites like ours, so should the
operation of the V8 Online Auction be disrupted by any activities
of those people, the V8 Online Auction may need to be suspended. In
that case the V8 Webmaster and/or the seller of the item at auction
will endeavour to contact Registered Bidders by telephone or directly
by email so that suitable arrangements may be made to continue the
auction. We have specifically not asked Registered Bidders to post
email addresses on the V8 Bulletin Board or other registration information
because we are aware spammers and their associates scavenge websites
for email addresses and thereafter plague you with offensive and unwanted
spam emails, many of which have virus infected attachments.
Condition of the item offered for sale by auction
The item is offered for sale in good faith without any represenbtation
or warranty by the donor of this item or the V8 Register as to the
condition or fitness for purpose of the item. Anyone buying the item
through an Online V8 Auction process must make their own inspection
of the item before completing the purchase, or arrange for a specialsit
to do so on their behalf, and then having decided to purchase the
item shall undertake not to make any subequent claim on either the
donor or the V8 Register in respect of any defect subsequently found
with the item before or after its use as an exhaust manifold or any
consequentiual damage arising therefrom.

any of the terms and conditions of this V8 Online Bid at his sole

V8 Register committee, the MG Car Club and its directors and officers
