6. Purchasing Products
6.1 Account details cannot be changed in some cases: After a Product has been allocated to the winner or buyer, Account information for that order can no longer be changed or updated.
6.2 Platform information: The Platform contains a description of the Products and the Seller’s identity together with the applicable pricing information, delivery methods, and estimated delivery dates. Should any restrictions apply (e.g. purchase or delivery only possible to certain regions or payment verification required), you will be informed of those restrictions.
6.3 Order processes: To enter into a Purchase Agreement with a Seller, you must comply with these Terms and also follow all our reasonable instructions with regard to the purchase of a Product or obtaining of a Service. For Products, you will typically undertake the following steps:
Products sold for a fixed price
a) Browse: Browse the Platform and identify the Product(s) that you wish to buy and the listed Purchase Price for these Products fixed by the Seller.
b) Order: Click the button ‘Order & Pay’ to buy the Product immediately at that listed Purchase Price. You can change your mind or modify your order up until you have clicked the button ‘Order & Pay’. You offer to enter into a Purchase Agreement at the moment of your clicking of the ‘Order & Pay’ button for Products at the Purchase Price. These actions will be considered irrevocable legal acts by you to buy the Product from the Seller at the Purchase Price.
Products sold as part of an auction
c) Browse: Browse the Platform and identify the Product(s) that you wish to buy.
a) The pricing for these Products has not been fixed by the Seller; instead, interested users may submit their bid for the Product for the duration of the auction.
b) We may change the duration of the auction at our discretion before the start of, or during, an auction.
c) Products sold by an auction process require a minimum amount for each bid with each new bid needing to be higher than the previously submitted one.
d) The minimum bidding increments may differ from auction to auction, and from time to time.
d) Bid:
a) Click the button ‘Bid now’ to submit your bid for the Product.
b) We will ask you to confirm your bid before you submit it – giving you a final chance to correct any typos or mistakes. By confirming a bid, you acknowledge that you have fully read the description listed at the time of the bid. You are solely responsible for checking your bids before you submit them. You can change your mind or modify your bid until you have clicked the button ‘Bid now’. Your bid is irrevocable.
c) Under certain conditions, as set out in Clause 10 (3) under par. C and par. D, MWS is entitled to make a reservation on your credit card in order to cover any loss and damages when you are in default after winning a bid.
Such reservation on a credit card will be retracted by MWS once a bid is outbid for 48 hours.
d) Once you confirm your bid, you do not need to pay the Purchase Price until:
i) the auction has ended; and
ii) your bid is the highest and winning one.
e) Bids on Products can be placed in different currencies against the then current Euro exchange rate (as applicable for MWS), but each bid will be shown on the Platform in the user's chosen currency view, rounded to zero (0) decimal places.
f) If during the last three (3) minutes of an auction a new bid is placed, the auction is extended for successive increments of time (each being three (3) minutes duration).
g) The Product will be sold to the bidder with the highest bid, unless the Seller or MWS determines, at their reasonable discretion, that the highest bid was not made in accordance with these Terms or applicable law. If two bidders place a bid of the same amount, the first bidder to place such bid wins (first come, first serve).
h) In rare instances where we suspect fraud or other irregular activity that is likely not in compliance with our Terms or which may cause imminent damage to us or affiliated parties, such as our service providers and other Sellers, we may temporarily or permanently halt an ongoing auction or sale of a Product.
i) We have the right to start any auction anew or extend an ongoing auction, at our reasonable discretion, for business-critical operational reasons including but not limited to, unavailability of (a part of) the services on the Platform or delay in arrival of items to our offices.
j) Max Bid: For certain Products, we offer the option ‘Max Bid’ option. All you need to do is decide on the maximum you are willing to bid for the relevant Product. We will automatically place the minimum bid for you, and if you get outbid, we will place a new bid for you to put you back on top (always in the smallest possible increments). We will never go above the maximum limit you have set.
e) Order: You order the Product and offer to enter into a Purchase Agreement with the Seller at the moment of the auction permanently expiring with your bid being the highest bid. These actions will be considered irrevocable legal acts by you to buy the Product from the Seller at the Purchase Price that you bid.
6.4 Viewing bids and orders: You may view your bids and orders by logging into your Account and clicking ‘My Bids’ or ‘My Orders’.
6.5 Our confirmation of your Purchase Agreement: We follow up on winning bids and orders accepted by us by e-mailing you confirmation of the Purchase Agreement, including the details of your order, your payment obligations, and the expected delivery. We will also include in our email a hyperlink to the then applicable version of these Terms.
6.6 We may cancel, not accept or limit orders in some circumstances:
a) If the fulfilment of an order (or any aspect of it) would be illegal or unlawful, including by reason of breach of export controls or sanctions rules, MWS have the right to stop or cease to fulfil the order at any time, including after dispatch of Products and/or our order confirmation to you.
b) We may limit the number of a given item that can be bought by an individual customer if we consider it appropriate and we may suspend your Account and any associated accounts and contact you if we notice any suspicious activity associated with your Account or any associated accounts.
c) Despite our best efforts, in certain circumstances a Seller may not be able to provide you with the Products. As such – and in addition to any other rights available to us or you under statutory law – we may refuse any order or bid, or cancel (ontbinden) your purchase and refund you the Purchase Price for any of the following reasons:
i) the Product you purchased is no longer available;
ii) we have identified a pricing or description error for the Product;
iii) for Products offered at a fixed price - the pricing was an obvious mistake and we cannot reasonably be asked to accept such a pricing error;
iv) your payment was not received or could otherwise not be properly or lawfully processed;
v) we reasonably suspect your conduct, bid, or order does not comply with these Terms;
vi) we cannot make the Products or Services available to you due to a situation that constitutes force majeure (overmacht) (that is, circumstances beyond our control adversely impact our or our partner’s ability to perform our or their obligations) our on our part or the part of our suppliers (e.g., third party Sellers, our hosting company or our delivery company).
6.7 Refunds: If we cannot supply you with the Product or Service you ordered, we will not process your order and inform you of this in writing via email and, if you have already paid for the Product or Service, we will refund you in full as soon as reasonably possible, but in any event no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of your payment.

MWS or the relevant Seller has the right to sell the goods;
You have the right to undisturbed possession of the goods;
The goods are free from any undisclosed security, charge or encumbrance;
Goods must be of acceptable quality, taking into account their nature as matchworn items. This means they must:
be safe;
be free from defects other than those that are reasonably expected given their matchworn condition;
be acceptable in appearance and finish, considering that they have been worn during a match;
do all the things someone would normally expect them to do so;
match any demonstration model or sample;

i) resupplying that service; or
