TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Introduction a. Global Internet Auctions Pty. Ltd., (hereafter: the "Company") is an Australian company, that manages and implements private auctions, in order to offer an opportunity to USA residents to bid on fuel (gas) cards. b. This users agreement describes "Gas Card Auctions", which is a specialized auction procedure (hereafter: "auction") and consists of the Company promoting invitations for blind bidding from its members on various products and/or services, accepting bids, determining the successful bid, delivery of the product and/or service to the participant that submitted the successful bid. c. Prior to participating in an auction, users must register with the Company and setup a member profile. For every bid the participant places in an auction, the member will pay the Company a predetermined 'administration fee'. d. Before each auction, the Company will determine the maximum bid amount for each auction and the maximum number of bids that will be accepted for that auction. The maximum bid amount will be displayed for each auction and is referred to as the "maximum bid". e. Participants in the auction will submit bids less than or equal to the maximum bid in American Dollars and cents and will pay an administration and registration fee (hereafter: "bidding fees" or "admin fees") for each submitted bid. f. Each auction is independent of all other auctions and is for only one product and/or service and each auction will have a unique auction number. g. Each auction will close when it meets the closing requirements as described in this users agreement. After the auction closes, the participant that submitted the successful bid is determined. The successful bid is the highest unique bid for the offered item out of all bids received for the auction. A unique bid is a bid that is not identical to any other bid submitted in that auction. h. Once identified, the successful participant in an auction is extended an offer to purchase the product and/or service for the successful bid submitted by them in that auction, as described in this users agreement. i. After receiving payment for the successful bid from the successful participant, the Company will ship or deliver the product and/or service via methods described in this users agreement to the address contained in the successful participants member profile at the time the bid was submitted and accepted by the Company. 2.

"Bid" is an offer submitted by a participant, in an open auction, that does not exceed the "maximum bid" set for that particular auction and meets the rules as defined in this users agreement to be considered a bid. c. "Bidding fees" or "admin fees" are fees charged to the members Internal Account, for every bid placed by a participant in an auction. Bidding fees are charged to the participant for each bid placed by them, at the time the bid is placed, in a unique auction, whether their bid was successful or not. The company may charge different bidding fees for separate auctions from time to time, according to the company's discretion d. "Blind bid" is a bid for an active auction in which the participant does not have knowledge of any bids placed by other participants in the auction. e.

"Confirmation E-mail" a message e-mailed to a participant in an auction that confirms the participants bid in an auction. If a participant does not contest the validity of a bid within 24 hours of being placed, or before the auction closes, the Company will consider it a correct and valid bid, and is authorized by the member. g. "Duplicate bid" is a bid submitted by a participant in a unique auction where another participant(s) has submitted a bid(s) for the identical amount. duplicate bids are used to calculate the number of bids required to close an auction but are disqualified from being selected as the successful bid as defined in this users agreement. (For example: If participant "A" bids $43.67 in a unique auction and participant "B" subsequently submits the identical bid of $43.67 in the same unique auction, the bids will be classified as duplicate bids and will be excluded from being selected as the successful bid.) h. "Maximum Bid" is the maximum price that a participant can bid in a unique auction. The "maximum bid' will be set by the Company, at its sole discretion, prior to opening the auction and will be posted on the auction information page, and the auction bidding pages for each unique auction. i. "Main auction" is an auction where participants are charged bidding fees for each bid placed in that auction. j. The "Maximum number of bids" (bidding ceiling) is the greatest number of bids that can be submitted for each unique auction. The maximum number of bids will be determined by the Company prior to opening the auction, and will be publicized by the Company on the auction information pages, and the bidding page for each auction. Once established the maximum number of bids for an auction may not be raised unless there hasn't been a 'highest unique bid' established when the required number of bids has been reached. In this case the auction will be extended at the disgrace of the Company until the 'highest unique bid' has been recorded. k. "Member" is a person, 18 years of age or older, with a valid credit card or accepted method of payment, or a business entity qualified to do business within a particular jurisdiction, with a valid credit card or accepted method of payment who has completed the membership form, agreed to the terms of this users agreement and the web site, and has been accepted by the Company after completing their member profile. l. The "Minimum number of bids" is the least number of bids that must be received in order for an auction to be eligible to close. The Minimum number of bids to close an auction will be determined by the Company prior to opening the auction and is strictly confidential. The Minimum number of bids to close an auction will always be equal to or lower than the maximum number of bids for each unique auction. The Company reserves the right to change the Minimum number of bids to close an auction at any time. m.

"Successful participant" is the participant who submitted the successful bid and paid the appropriate bidding fees. r.

It is offered immediately upon the preceding auction closing and allows participants in the process of bidding on an auction to participate in an identical auction for the same product and/or service. s. "Suggested Retail Price" or "SRP" is the price supplied to the Company by our partners and/or distributors. The SRP is typically equal to the Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for a particular product and/or service, though the Company does not warrant that the SRP will always be equal to the MSRP. y. "Unique auction" or "auction" is an auction conducted by Gas Card Auctions as set forth in this users agreement and has a unique code to identify it. z. "Auditor" the accounting offices that audit the auctions and other transactions as described in this agreement. 4. Auction process a. The Company will determine for each unique auction, amongst other things, the following minimum details: i. The product and/or service being offered in each unique auction; ii. the unique code defining each unique auction; iii. the "maximum bid" price for each unique auction; iv. the bidding fees required to participate in each unique auction; v. the maximum number of bids per unique auction; vi. the minimum number of bids required before the auction can close; vii. the "SRP" of the product and/or service being offered.

When an auction closes the successful bidder will be determined. c. Once an auction closes, the successful bidder is given the right to purchase the product and/or service at the price defined by their successful bid. The Company will pay all taxes and shipping expenses, unless otherwise stated in the auction's details. If a participant fails to pay the successful bid amount, as defined in this users agreement, they will forfeit the right to purchase the product and/or service. d. Participants have the right to cancel their purchase of a product and/or service if their bid is chosen as the successful bid. If a participant chooses to cancel their right to purchase a product and/or service they may request, in writing, for a refund for the bidding fees for their successful bid. Other bidding fees will not be refunded. The company reserves the right to re-offer cancelled or forfeited products and/or services in a new unique auction or donate them to a charity selected by the Company at its sole discretion. e. The Company attempts to set the "maximum bid" price for each unique auction to between 10% and 20% of the SRP for that product and/or service. Though very unlikely, if it becomes possible to purchase, through other means, the identical product and/or service at a price that less than the "maximum bid", the Company will not be held responsible. 5.
