2.1. Specific Terms and Conditions.
The specific terms and conditions of each auction shall take precedence over these General Terms and Conditions.

3. Publication of Auctions.
Auctions will be published on the website www.gobid.es, indicating the dates on which they will take place and the lots catalogue.
 
4. Conduct of Auctions. 
Each Auction will be published on the website www.gobid.esin accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the General and Specific Terms and Conditions. GOBID ESPAÑA SL reserves the right to cancel, extend or suspend the Auction at its sole discretion.
The registered user expressly consents to and accepts all issues and conflicts, both objective and subjective, that may arise from using an online Auction, and agrees to hold GOBID ESPAÑA SL harmless from any loss or damage caused as a result thereof.
 
Any liability on the part of GOBID ESPAÑA SL for loss or damage caused directly and/or indirectly to the registered user is excluded, with such liability limited solely to cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence.
GOBID ESPAÑA SL shall in no way be liable for any actions of the user that cause damage, malfunction, improper display and/or improper use of the website www.gobid.es, whether before, during or after the auction process.
In all matters not covered by the General Terms and Conditions, the provisions contained in the terms of use of the website www.gobid.es shall apply. 

5. Participation in Auctions.
A user registered on the website www.gobid.es must register for each Auction and accept the General Terms and Conditions and the Specific Terms and Conditions in order to participate.
Where a deposit is required to participate in the Auction, the registered user will not be authorized to participate without prior authorization from GOBID ESPAÑA SL. Authorization will be granted by GOBID ESPAÑA SL only once the deposit has been received. The methods of payment for the deposit will be specified in the Specific Terms and Conditions of the Auction.
Users who have participated in the process but have not been awarded any goods will receive their deposit within 20 business days following the conclusion of the Auction, without interest.
Users who participate in the auction and are awarded one or more lots will receive their deposit once they have collected the purchased goods, paid any charges for supplementary services and completed the acquisition of the goods purchased at auction by carrying out the administrative procedures required for the sale, and in all cases subject to prior authorization from the Principal. In such cases, the deposit may be deducted from any charges incurred for supplementary services, as well as from other expenses at the Principal's discretion.
 
If the purchaser paid the deposit by debit/credit card, GOBID ESPAÑA SL will refund it by bank transfer once the goods have been collected and the acquisition completed as described in the previous paragraph.
 
The deposit will be retained in the event of failure to comply with the general payment terms for the awarded lots.

6. Submission of bids.
Bids to purchase the lots published on the platform may be submitted by users registered and authorized to participate in the Auction, and will be collected on the page for each lot available at www.gobid.es.
Bids will always be linked to theverification of the stated prices and the increment conditions.
 
GOBID ESPAÑA SL reserves the right to cancel any bid if discrepancies are found between the General Terms and Conditions and the Specific Terms and Conditions applicable to it.
 
Bids may be of two types: static or dynamic (proxy bid):
A simple static bid is considered a fixed-price bid.
A maximum dynamic bid (proxy bid) is considered a dynamic-price bid for the lot, not visible to other users.
When a registered user places a static bid, it may be surpassed by a bid from another user. In this case, the user will have to place another static bid to be awarded the lot.
If a registered user places a maximum bid (proxy bid), it will remain valid until it is surpassed by a bid from another user that is higher than the maximum bid set. Increments will be automatic and based on the minimum amounts indicated, in order to surpass the other bids submitted, up to the maximum amount entered.
Bids will be accepted until the end date and time indicated for the specific Auction. If bids are placed during the last 5 minutes, the bidding period will be extended by a period specified in the Specific Terms and Conditions of each Auction.
 
6.1 Auction without a reserve price
 
In auctions without a reserve price, users may offer an amount equal to the indicated amount or increase it by the recommended minimum increment using the corresponding controls, or enter the amount they wish to offer.
 
Bids placed will be considered irrevocable.
When a user places a bid, it may be surpassed by a bid from another user. In this case, the user will have to place a new static bid to become the highest bidder and be eligible for the award of the lot.
 
7. Awarding of lots.
At the end of each auction, the provisional lot-award phase will begin. This phase will last a maximum of 48 business hours, unless otherwise specified in the Specific Terms and Conditions. During this phase, confirmation of the provisional award will be sent to the highest bidder. GOBID ESPAÑA SL reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to interrupt or cancel the auction or the awarding of lots before the auction ends.
 
The award is subject to receipt of the deposit (if required).
If the provisional successful bidder fails to fulfil the obligations within the specified time limits, the lot will be awarded to the bidder who placed the next highest bid, and so on.
Bids placed are binding and constitute a formal commitment to purchase.
 
 
8. Payment.
A registered user who is awarded one or more lots must comply with the Specific Terms and Conditions of the Auction, which will specify the terms of payment and collection, as well as the indemnity clauses in the event of non-compliance. If the amounts due are not paid in full within the specified time limits, the sale will automatically be deemed concluded. The user will forfeit the deposit (if required), which will be retained as compensation, and the award will consequently be revoked, in agreement with the Principal. Any damage discovered after collection of the awarded lots will be entirely the buyer's responsibility.
