  1. Bidding and Buying
    All bids (under the "auction" format) ("Bids") and all purchases (under the "Buy It Now" format) ("Purchases") on the Site are a commitment by you to complete the purchase of the item on which you have placed the Bid or which you have purchased. If you are the highest bidder / purchaser for any item and your Bid / Purchase is accepted by the seller ("Winning Buyer"), you are obligated to complete the transaction with the seller. In order for you to qualify and be identified as the Winning Buyer of an auction, the following priority parameters are applied by Harshad.com:

    • Price: a higher price Bid always supersedes any lower price bids;
    • Quantity: Between Bids of the same price, a Bid for a higher quantity shall supersede;
    • Time: Between Bids of the same price and for the same quantity, the Bid which was placed first in point of time shall supersede other such Bids.

You acknowledge and agree that in the event that dual Winning Buyers are displayed on the Site for a single auction, the user who receives an email from the Site declaring them the Winning Buyer will be the only Winning Buyer for that auction. Harshad.com's decision on the success or otherwise of a bid shall be final and binding. It reserves the right to reject or void bids, whether winning or not, that it deems not to have been made in good faith, or that are restricted or prohibited. 
As a Winning Buyer you may increase the amount or volume of your Bid or Purchase but you may not reduce the amount or volume of your Bid or Purchase or withdraw / cancel your Bid or Purchase. By bidding or purchasing an item you agree to be bound by the conditions of sale included by the seller in the item's description on the Site (so long as those conditions of sale are not in violation of this User Agreement or are not in compliance with applicable laws). A Winning buyer must contact the seller or initiate an order for the item within 48 hours of the relevant auction closing or of a successful Purchase. As a buyer on the Site we encourage you to post feedback on the seller after the auction is closed. In case of consumer goods generally available in retail stores, sellers on the Site may or may not specify the normal retail prices of items being sold. You are advised to independently verify the retail prices of such items if you so desire. 
You agree not to test the Site with false bids or purchases, nor to use a false name, other false personal information or use an unauthorized or known invalid credit card to Bid or Purchase. Without prejudice to the rights and remedies available to Harshad.com under this User Agreement or at law, Harshad.com may take such steps as it deems appropriate or necessary including taking legal action against users who intentionally enter erroneous, fictitious or fraudulent Bids or Purchases.

All of your listed items must be kept in stock to allow for the immediate completion of your transaction with a Winning Buyer. The listing description of the item must not be misleading and must describe the actual current condition of the item. If the item description does not match the actual current condition of the item, you agree to refund any amounts in relation to that item that you may have received from the buyer.
