5. Irrevocable Purchase Bid 
 
5.1 Completion procedure of Bids  at auction opening price
 
The payment of the  security deposit along with the formalisation of the registration to the auction – with expressed acceptance of the general and specific conditions of sale posted on line on www.gorealbid.it – as well as the provision of all the required supplementary documents by the user,  as already specified under point 4.2.1, shall be deemed equivalent to an irrevocable purchase-bid at the starting price fixed for each sale and shall itself be deemed a binding purchase contract on the part of the user.
 
Said offer shall be expressly officialised on the platform directly by the Consignee (auction-agent/Auctioneer ) via on-line, on behalf of the first user who will have completed the completion  procedure described above.
           
Where more than one bidder have proceeded in officialising their irrevocable purchase-bid in accordance to  the above mentioned conditions, and none of the bidders shall raise a bid on the platform, the highest bidder, and therefore the provisional ‘buyer’ , will be the first one in order of time:
 
            - who will have carried out the procedure described above
 
The Consignee  (Auctioneer) shall duly inform all bidders via any means whether they be or not the highest bidders in the formalisation  of the aforementioned irrevocable purchase bid.

Power of attorney from which it will be possible to identify the "person or company to be appointed" must be presented by user during notarial deed. It must have been issued at least 5 working days before date set for notarial deed. 
 
5.2 Submission of bids for starting price increment
 
Formulation of overbids
 
The bid, formalised by the first bidder in line, may be outbid following various offers which may be formulated by any enabled user.
 
The user that wishes to be the highest bidder (and thus provisional purchaser), will need to have put up the highest bid on completion of the on-line auction.
 
Understandably, amongst the several participants/bidders bidding over the auction opening price, the user too will be recognised as the “first Bidder” and will be entitled to take part in the awarding of lots by bidding over the current price of the lot.
 
In order to be assigned with a lot up on sale, the users/bidders will be invited to raise their bids over the starting price ( thus  making at least one overbid)  as according to the following conditions:
 
5.2.1 Static bid 
 
“Static bid” is a bid submitted equivalent to the price published on-line, plus a minimum fixed overbid  .
 
 
5.2.2 Proxy Bid:
 
“Proxy bid”  is the highest bid made. It is the maximum amount that a willing user/buyer makes for each lot. The value of the proxy bid is manually entered by each single bidder.
 
Until the user/bidder  is not outbid by a higher offer, he shall be considered the highest  bidder, thus provisional buyer of the lot.  
 
The current price shall automatically be adjusted on the basis of the pre-set overbids made, until the highest fixed amount is achieved hence “proxy bid”.
 
The amount of the proxy bid, submitted by the user shall not be shown to other bidders..

 
5.3. Validity of the bids
 
In all a.m. cases (static bid – proxy bid – free bid), bids shall be deemed valid only if submitted during the auction.
 
5.3.1 Extra time 
 
Should a winning bid be submitted 5 minutes before the completion of the auction, extra 5 minutes time shall be given to submit a further bid following the previous bid. So forth and so on, until the best proxy bid is submitted within the extra 5 minutes following the completion.
 
In case of extra time, no supplementary bids must be made in the 5 minutes following the last bid submitted, before the auction can be said to be completed.
 
In the case of proxy bids, automatic overbids shall also be considered as ‘winning bids’.
 
 
5.4. Awarding of lots
 
After the completion of auctions, following preliminary activities, the highest bidders shall receive a confirmation of provisional awarding as pursuant to art. 107 l. fall., after which they shall be required to carry out payments within the terms and deadlines that have been specified under the sale conditions.
 
The provisional awarding shall be assigned to the bidder with the highest offer on each lot, or, should no further overbids have been submitted, the bidder that shall be awarded shall be the first in order of time as long as he/she shall have finalised the procedure on the irrevocable purchase bid, as described under point  5.1.
 
On awarding  of the lot, the amount due must be fully paid via bank remittance addressed to the auction within the terms and conditions specified, unless  otherwise, the user is liable to a penalty of forfeiture and a loss of the deposit.
 
The deed of sale shall be stipulated through a notary act, pursuant to the conditions specified by the Consignor. (as described  under point 11, Transfer of Property Ownership)
 
Bids submitted shall be considered binding and constitute an official purchase commitment. Should the highest bidder not fully pay the due amount within the deadlines specified under the terms and conditions of sale , or should the awarding  expire, then the sale shall automatically be deemed cancelled and the deposit withheld, pursuant to the conditions specified under the section “Security Deposit”.  In this case, the awarding shall be assigned to the next best bidder who will have finalised the procedure described under point 5.1 or who will have submitted a higher bid on the basis of what has been specified under point 5.2.
 
5.5 Supplementary Provisions
 
Wherever prescribed by law, the Consignor shall be entitled to suspend the sale’s process, as pursuant to art. 107 fourth para.l.fall.,  should an irrevocable higher bid be received which is not less than 10% of the bid received.
 
In any case, GOBID INTERNATIONAL AUCTION GROUP S.r.l. holds the faculty to suspend the bid or the lots awarding , in agreement with Consignor.
 
 
 
6. Obligations of Consignor
As pursuant to art. 107 l. fall., Consignor shall undertake to inform via notices each  mortgage creditor or each creditor holding a right at least 20 days before the final date that has been set for the completion of the sale’s trial, as well as informing the Delegated Judge  and the Creditors Committee of the outcome of each sale’s trial, filing the relating documents at the Registry office.
 
Consignor shall undertake to approve that any eventualentriesconcerning pre-emption rights, distraint or confiscation of real estate assets put on sale, shall be cancelled as pursuant to art. 108 l.fall. once the sale has been carried and the sum entirely paid for. Unless otherwise prescribed in the provisions specified under these sale conditions, any formality arising from the cancellation and expenses thereof, shall be borne on buyer's expenses.
 
7. Buyer’ s Premium 
This is the compensation owed to Consignee which shall entirely be borne by the purchaser and shall be indicated with the heading ‘ Buyer’s Premium’.  It shall be calculated on the hammer-price of the asset, according to the specific sales conditions
 
 
8. Expenses
 
Notary fees, state taxes as well as all sale expenses, imposed and non-imposed taxes shall be borne by the purchaser. The notice relating to the exact amount of the expenses and correct specification, shall be submitted by Consignor in the shortest time possible.
 
Consignor shall hence provide the purchase the a.m. details, taking into account the existing applicable taxes governing the transaction and of any eventual existing tax advantages the purchaser may avail himself of.  Consignor  shall hence be exhorted to check if the transaction is subjected to VAT fee or tax registration fee, as well as expressly specifying whether he intends availing himself/herself of the reverse charge.
 
On completion of the sale, Consignee shall pledge to ask  the highest bidder/purchaser, if he/she intends to avail himself/herself of the right of a tax exemption on the house as long as he/she intends using it as a primary residence or of other fiscal benefits and to inform Consignor consequently, in order for him/her to calculate the precise  amount to be  paid by the purchaser  in terms of imposed taxes.
 
The highest bidder shall be expected to settle all expenses within and not beyond the  deadlines specified under the specific sale conditions.
 
9. Security Deposit
 
 
In order to participate in an auction, the payment of a security deposit is compulsory,  as it has been specified under the specific sale conditions.
 
Before being entitled to participate in an auction, bidders will need to effect payment via bank remittance or, wherever prescribed under the specific sale conditions ,  by credit-card via a platform.  All payments must be effected as specified under the specific sale conditions.
The security-deposit must be duly settled before the completion of the auction.
 
If payment through a bank remittance is chosen, it would be preferable to choose the ‘significant amount’ wire transfer type .
 
Should the participants/bidders in the auction not be awarded with any asset, the security deposit shall  be refunded entirely excluding interests within 20 working days from the completion of the awarding .
Should more than one lot be awarded, the security-deposit shall be refunded  after the purchaser will have transferred ownership of the real estate purchased via the auction  through a notary, upon the Consignor’s authorisation has been given. In this case, the security-deposit may be withheld in order to cover any eventual expenses or fees deriving from the procedure, at the discretion of Consignor, as well as any other eventual services provided by the Consignee.
Should the payment have been effected by credit card, the deposit shall be cashed in by Consignee, who shall refund the amount as pursuant to the a.m. conditions of sale specified.
Should the purchaser be awarded at least a unit-lot at the auction, Consignee, in agreement with Consignor shall have the faculty to subtract the amount of the deposit  from the  total amount owed by the purchaser.
If, in the case of an awarding, and after the security-deposit has been paid,  the bidder not complete the purchase as pursuant to the terms specified under the conditions of sale, in terms of both the hammer-price and the Buyer’s premium plus any additional deriving fees, the sale shall automatically be cancelled and the deposit withheld as a penalty fee for damages.
 
10. Payments
 
The provisional highest bidder of one or more lots shall undertake to observe the terms and conditions of the auction which shall also specify the terms and conditions for both the payments of the awarded lots and the Buyer’s Premium including any additional fees deriving thereof, further to a compensation for the violation of any of the afore-going terms.
All payments shall be effected exclusively via bank remittance, unless otherwise specified under the specific  terms and conditions.  The details shall be specified after the provisional highest bidder shall have received the provisional awarding confirmation.
 
Should the amount of the payments due not be settled within the terms specified,  in agreement with Consignor, the sale shall automatically be deemed cancelled and the security-deposit withheld as a penalty compensation, following the annulment of the assignment.
