CONDITIONS OF SALE BY ON-LINE AUCTION
1: Conditions
These conditions, together with any special conditions or ‘Notices to Purchasers’, are the only terms and conditions subject to which Edward Symmons LLP acting as agents for the Vendor will contract with buyers. Bidding for any lot shall be deemed to be an acceptance of these conditions and any conditions in the Notices to Purchasers. If there is any inconsistency between any of these conditions and anything in the Notices to Purchasers, then those in the Notices to Purchasers shall prevail.
2: Inspection and Description
2.1Buyers have a responsibility to make their own inspection and investigation of the lots at the time(s) and at the premises specified, and to satisfy themselves on all matters affecting the lots, and to inspect and satisfy themselves prior to the sale, as to the condition and description of a lot, its fitness and suitability for purpose.
2.2Goods are believed to be correctly described but all goods are sold with all faults, imperfections and errors of description.
2.3Neither the Vendor nor the Auctioneers, their servants or agents makes or gives, nor has any person in the employment of the Auctioneers any authority to make or give, any representation or warranty in relation to any lots.
3: Limitation of Liability
3.1Neither the Vendor nor the Auctioneers, their servants or agents shall be liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Buyer arising out of or in connection with any defects or deficiencies in any lots purchased, errors of description in the auction catalogue, any mis-statements as to any matter affecting the lots or the failure of the lots to fulfill the functions for which they were intended
3.2The Auctioneer’s and the Vendor’s total liability for breach of contract or negligence is limited to the Bid Price.
3.3Neither the Auctioneers nor the Vendor shall be liable for any indirect or consequential loss or damage (whether for loss of profit, loss of business or otherwise) incurred by the Buyer whatsoever.
3.4Nothing in these conditions excludes or limits the liability of the Auctioneers or Vendor for death or personal injury caused by their negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation.
3.5Nothing in these conditions shall prejudice the statutory rights of a consumer who shall be bound by these conditions only insofar as they are consistent with such statutory rights.
4: Conduct of Sale
The Auctioneers reserve the right in their absolute discretion to refuse admission to the premises and grounds to any person.
The conduct of the sale shall be at the Auctioneer`s sole discretion and the Auctioneers reserve the right to refuse any bids without giving any reason. If any dispute of whatsoever nature relating to a bid shall arise, such dispute shall be determined by the Auctioneers in their absolute discretion and whose decision shall be final and binding on all parties.
Each bidder must register prior to submitting any bids in On-Line sales. Edward Symmons LLP reserves the right to reject any registration at its sole discretion.
The Vendor and the Auctioneers reserve the right to fix a reserve price for any lot.
No bid may be withdrawn after the close of bidding.
The Vendor or the Auctioneers have absolute discretion to withdraw consolidate or divide at any time any lot.
The highest bidder for each lot at the close of bidding shall be the Buyer, subject to approval by the Auctioneers and the Vendor. The Sale Price is exclusive of the buyer’s premium and VAT. The highest bid at the close of bidding subject to approval by the Auctioneers and Vendor also marks a conclusion of a contract of sale between the Vendor and the Buyer.
In making a bid for any lots, the Buyer does so as principal. The Buyer will be held personally and solely liable for a bid unless the Auctioneers have previously agreed in writing with the Buyer that that bidder will do so on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to the Auctioneers. In circumstances where the Auctioneers have so agreed, the Buyer and the third party will jointly and severally be liable for all obligations arising from the bid where a third party shall be bound by these conditions by the individual bidding as his agent in the same way as if he were bidding personally.
5: Risk and Title
As from the date and time the Buyer is declared, all risks in and relating to the Goods purchased, shall pass to the Buyer and the Buyer is strongly advised to effect insurance for these risks at once. In no circumstances will the Auctioneers or the Vendor be responsible if any Goods or part thereof be lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed after the Buyer is declared.
The Vendor shall only sell such title to the Goods as he may have. Neither the Auctioneers nor the Vendor warrants the Vendor’s good title to any of the Goods and if it is found that the Vendor does not have title or unencumbered title to any of the Goods purported to be sold under these conditions the Buyer expressly agrees that it shall have no right either to rescind the contract or to claim damages or a reduction in the consideration paid or payable under the contract.
Title to each of the Goods will not pass until:-
(a)all debts owed by the Buyer to the Auctioneers (whether part-paid secured or otherwise) are settled, for the avoidance of doubt the debts shall not be settled until (where payment or part payment is made by cheque) all cheque(s) in question have been cleared; and
(b)such Goods have been removed from the premises at which the sale is held or where the Goods are being stored in their entirety.
6: Removal
No lot or part thereof can be removed until payment in cash or approved Bankers Draft has been made in full or (where any part of the payment was made by cheque) the cheque has cleared in the Auctioneer`s account. No lot shall be removed without the authority of the Auctioneer and unless under the supervision of the Auctioneer`s servants or agents.
Removal shall take place only up to 5.00 pm and must be completed by 5.00 pm on the day following the sale (and in every case time shall be of the essence) unless the Notice to Purchasers otherwise specify or written authority is obtained from the Auctioneers for clearance after that time.
The Buyer has no right to anything not described in the auction catalogue.
Delivery of lots sold will be made only to the declared Buyer and no transfer of any lot or part of a lot to any other person will be recognised.
Prior to the removal of any lot the Vendor may rescind the contract for the sale of that lot and refund to the Buyer any money paid by the Buyer for the lot should any third party claim title to or possession of any part of the lot.
The Buyer will be responsible for removal of lots at his own expense and must provide his own labour, and equipment.
The Auctioneers require that in pursuit of safe working practice all equipment used for lifting and transportation should be covered by appropriate insurance and registration documents (in particular but not limited to lifting equipment and fork lift trucks). Such documentation shall be produced to the Auctioneers by the Buyer on request for inspection and if the Buyer fails to produce such documentation the Auctioneers reserve the right to refuse to clear the lot and/or rescind the sale in which event the provisions of condition 8 will apply. Furthermore appropriate personal protective equipment must be worn during these activities and due regard paid to safe material handling practices.
7: Damage to Premises
The Buyer shall be responsible for the removal of all goods purchased at his own expense and risk and such removal must be carried out safely and lawfully and in accordance with any conditions of sale of which the Buyer is notified. For the avoidance of doubt removal includes where applicable disconnection from the mains electricity supply and the detachment of any lots which are fixed. All electrical installations must be left in a safe condition during and after the removal and the use of explosives or flame cutting equipment or any other potentially hazardous or inflammatory process shall not be permissible on the site without the express written consent of the Auctioneers. The Buyer shall be responsible to insure against and to make good any injury or damage to persons or property caused by the Buyer, their carriers, servants or agents detaching, disconnecting or removing any goods purchased by the Buyer. The Buyer shall produce his insurance documentation to the Auctioneers on request and if the Buyer fails to produce such documentation the Auctioneers reserve the right to refuse to clear the lot and/or rescind the sale. The Buyer shall indemnify the Auctioneers for any damage or loss which the Auctioneers may suffer in respect of loss, damage or injury suffered by the Buyer’s agents or employees or any third party arising from the removal. At its discretion the Auctioneers may require the payment of a deposit to the Auctioneers prior to and/or during the removal which will be refunded on the removal being completed to the Auctioneer`s satisfaction. If the Buyer refuses to deposit such monies, the Vendor or the Auctioneers may refuse the Buyer access to the premises for the purposes of removing the lot purchased by them and/or rescind the sale in which event the provisions of condition 8 will apply. The Auctioneers reserve the right to stop the removal of a lot by a Buyer, his agents or employees, if it appears to the Auctioneers or its agents or employees that the removal is being carried out in an unsafe or unsatisfactory way.
8: Default by Buyer

(iv) to remove the goods in a safe or satisfactory way; or
(v) to remove any lot from the premises on or before the date specified for removal,
The Vendor will be entitled to rescind the contract forthwith without incurring any liabilities to the Buyer and, without prejudice to any claims of the Vendor and/or the Auctioneers against the Buyer arising from breach of contract or otherwise, upon rescission as aforesaid the following provisions apply:
(a)all monies deposited in part payment will be forfeited and used to pay the Vendor`s and/or Auctioneer`s expenses referred to in paragraph (d) below;
(b)if the lots have been removed in breach of these conditions, the Vendor and/or the Auctioneers, their servants or agents may enter the premises of the Buyer to recover such lots;
(c)lots may be re-sold or otherwise disposed of by the Auctioneers in the manner they feel appropriate at their sole discretion and any deficiency arising upon the resale together with the expenses of it shall be due as a debt from the Buyer in default upon the first sale. The Buyer consents to such a resale on the Auctioneer’s conditions of business applicable at the time of resale. Neither the Auctioneers nor the Vendor shall be liable to account to the Buyer in the event of a re-sale at a higher price than the price contracted to be paid by the Buyer. The Buyer waives any claim in such a case that he may have title to the lot and agreed that any re-sale price shall be deemed commercially reasonable;
(d)the Buyer will be responsible from the specified time for final removal for all losses and expense incurred by the Vendor and/or the Auctioneers including storage, security and removal expenses, the costs of re-selling or disposing of lots and Auctioneer`s commission.

Joyce, I am not sure. My guess is that it helps it all mix together better.... however, I have gotten in a hurry and skipped this step and it still worked.

a) Do you have to throw it out if you don't use it all?
b) if you can use it again later, do you have to head it up again?
c) If you don't have to heat it up again, then why head it up in the first place?
Thanks for this! I am going to try it!
Cindy
Friday, August 11th, 2017
Kerry,
a) no, I keep it and keep using it
b) no, I don't reheat when I re-use
c) I think the heating is the best way to mix all the ingredients. I have gotten in a hurry and skipped this step and it still worked.

This does work great, but it's far from natural. Dawn is a very effective, but chemical, grease cutter. It's inaccurate and not right to call this a natural cleaner.

Friday, September 11th, 2015
I use this all the time on everything! You don't have to warm once or repeated. The 50/50 mix is too much Dawn - too soapy!! I pour mostly vinegar with some water and a little dribble of generic-brand Dawn into a spray bottle. When the bottle gets low, I just add some of each to fill. I use WalMart's generic version of Dawn and it works excellently! I have used other soaps, but they don't seem to work as well.

the harsh smell of vinegar is easily soothed by adding essential oils. Lemon or lavendar essential is what I like in my vinegar that I use for softener instead of using downy in my laundry

I make my own cleaners to avoid all the chemical crap the big companies like to put in all our personal care items (and cleaners). Using Dawn defeats this purpose. Do you have another alternative.

For Laminate, linoleum, tile and hardwood use 1/3 c. water, 1/3c. white vinegar and 1/3 c. rubbing alcohol and a couple of drops of Dawn dish soap. Put it in a spray bottle. I love it. I used another brand cleaner with that same brand "mop" and it streaked and left a film on the floor. I love this cleaner!! Much less expensive too!!

Do you have to heat it up every time you use it? Or is that one time for vinegar?

Just the first time. However, I have made it many times and I often skip that step and it still works great.

Paula, my shower, in fact our whole master bath suite is natural stone, slate, marble and granite. I use a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water to clean all of it. I have a big spray bottle that I put 1/3 alcohol and fill up the rest with water then shake well. It cleans and disinfects beautifully! I use that same mixture to clean our mirrors and toilets. Been using it for years and have had excellent results.

TILED Shower Warning - Please don't use this on a TILED shower, or Granite! Over time, the vinegar (acid) can/will break the grout down. With a newly tiled shower, our installer suggested CHEAP mouth wash (high alcohol content, great smell): Full strength in a spray bottle. His suggestion = Spray on, walk away. Once or twice month, Wipe down, vigorously, with a damp rag after the spray. (Regarding how often: your mileage may vary, depending on frequency that shower is used :) )

Can't wait to try this...just recently moved and now have Hard Water...that I can not clean with my regular cleaner. Thank you.

Wednesday, May 14th, 2014
The reason that you use Dawn with this is because Dawn cuts the grease!! Our bodies can release oils or maybe the products that we use on our hair sticks around. Dawn cuts all of that down. I had already been using the Dawn, but not with the Vinegar! I'm excited to give it a try, especially on my sinks AND the potty!!
Andrea Dodge

No need for dawn, too soapy. Just use White vinegar 30% up to 50%. Fabuloso (tablespoon or two for scent and degreasing). No need to boil it either. I have had many cleaning companies and this is silly. No soap. And bar type soap produces more "scum" than body wash types. Find a pretty small sprayer for the bathroom and spray curtain, glass etc just before you get out snd leave (30%). Keeps clean. Cheap vinegar will make you cough more. They now sell "cleaning" vinegar. Slightly less fumes. Don't use on marble or unpolished/protected stone. Tiles can be used if rinsed and use 30% of Vinegar. Will help with pink mold and some early black mold. Will keep it at bay if used after each shower on trouble spots.
Wednesday, March 19th, 2014
Sounds amazing. I am wondering if you have to use it warm...and all at once? Will we want to make just enough for use at one time? Thanks for sharing.
Thursday, March 20th, 2014
You don't have to use it warm or all at once, so it will work for more than one use.

Is it Dawn only that works or will any dish detergent do? Just curious as I don't use Dawn.

Don't use vinegar on natural stone/marble.

Could something other than dawn work? I'm allergic to dawn.

This works GREAT in dishwand - like you would use in the kitchen to wash dishes.

What great timing. We just ran out of our usual "scrubbing bubble" cleaner ... so I'll make
up a batch of your recipe! THANK!

We use this cleaner on our 'refinished' bathtub - it was recommended by the refinishing company. The only problem is that the vinegar is very ... strong! Makes one cough, a lot. Be prepared to have vent the room, turn on the bathroom fan, etc. Works great though.
