Auction Terms and Conditions

Effective: November 9, 2026

1. Scope

These terms and conditions apply to all online auctions on www.engel-und-engel.de. The seller is Engel & Engel GmbH, Hauptstraße 90, 76865 Rohrbach (Pfalz). Our General Terms and Conditions of Sale also apply.

2. Participation Limited to Business Entities

Only business entities as defined in § 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB) with a verified customer account and who provide their company name may place bids. By placing the first bid, the bidder confirms that they are acting in a commercial capacity. Consumers are excluded.

3. Auction Process

Each auction has a minimum bid, a minimum bid increment, and an end time. All amounts are net amounts plus the applicable sales tax, unless the vehicle is subject to differential taxation. If a bid is received in the last three minutes, the auction is extended by three minutes from the time of that bid.

4. Bids

Each bid constitutes a binding offer to purchase the vehicle at the bid price. The bidder remains bound by their bid until it is outbid or until Engel & Engel awards or rejects the bid within 3 business days after the auction ends. Bids cannot be withdrawn.

5. Award and Conclusion of Contract

The purchase contract is not concluded until Engel & Engel awards the contract to the highest bidder via email. The end of the auction or the automatic email notification of the highest bid does not constitute an award. Engel & Engel may reject the bid without providing a reason, even if the highest bid meets the minimum bid. The minimum bid is not a guaranteed selling price.

6. Payment

The purchase price must be paid by bank transfer within 3 business days after the award. The vehicle remains the property of Engel & Engel until full payment has been made. If the buyer fails to pay by the due date, Engel & Engel may withdraw from the contract and claim damages.

7. Pickup

The vehicle will be handed over in Rohrbach upon receipt of payment. Pickup must take place within 14 days of receipt of payment and at the buyer’s expense. After that, Engel & Engel may charge a storage fee of 30 euros net per day.

8. Condition and Warranty

The vehicles are used and are sold in the condition they are in at the end of the auction. The information in the vehicle description is provided to the best of our knowledge but does not constitute a warranty of quality. Viewing prior to placing a bid is possible by appointment. Warranty is excluded, except in cases of willful misconduct, gross negligence, and damage to life, limb, or health.

9. Cancellation

Engel & Engel may cancel an auction at any time, for example, if the vehicle is no longer available. In such cases, there is no entitlement to the winning bid.

10. Final Provisions

German law applies. The place of jurisdiction is Landau in der Pfalz.
