This section applies to the market function on the Application e.g. the Market.

Listing: where you list an Asset for sale or trade in the Market:

(b) your listing must be accurate, current, complete and include all the relevant information on the Asset. We reserve the right, but are not required, to amend any listing to supplement, remove or correct information;

Buying: You enter into a legally binding contract to purchase an Asset when you commit to buy an Asset at the specified sale price, your offer for an Asset is accepted by the seller (whether as a trade for another Asset(s) or for a specified price), or if you have the winning bid in an auction.

Auctions: You must only place a bid on an auction if you intend to buy the Asset at the price offered. Where an Asset is sold by auction and you place the winning bid, you will be obliged to complete the purchase of the Asset at the bid price and you will not be able to cancel your offer or negotiate a different price once your bid has been lodged.
