This is the privacy policy (the “Policy”) of BidMoto Inc., its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “BidMoto”). BidMoto is committed to protecting your right to privacy when you provide us with personal information. This Policy sets out how we collect and manage personal information, whether that information is collected via our site bidmoto.com (the “Site”) or otherwise. In this Policy, the terms “you”, “user” and “your” refer to a visitor of our Site or a user of our services provided on the Site or otherwise, including our online auction platform and mobile application(s) (collectively, the “Services”) and the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to BidMoto.
Please read this Policy carefully before engaging us for our Services or using our Site. We may update or modify this Policy at any time by posting our revised policy to our Site. We include an “effective date” in the Policy displayed on our Site. We strongly encourage you to refer back to the Policy periodically to ensure that you stay up to date with our practices and procedures.
By engaging us for our Services or using our Site, you agree that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by this Policy, including any updates to the Policy.
By submitting personal information to us, including by using any of our Services or our Site, you hereby consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Policy.
If you do not agree with some or all of this Policy, you must not use the Site, our Services or submit personal information to us.
1. Privacy Officer
Our Privacy Officer is our Chief Executive Officer. The Privacy Officer is generally responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable privacy legislation. The Privacy Officer must approve the policies and practices regulating the governance of personal information. More specifically, this person is responsible for implementing this Policy and ensuring that it is known, understood and applied.
Our employees who have access to personal information or are otherwise involved in the management of such information must ensure its protection and comply with this Policy. The roles and responsibilities of our employees throughout the life cycle of personal information may be specified by other policies as well.
2. Consent
“personal information” means information that can identify an individual, and includes, for example, a person’s name, home address, home phone number, gender, date of birth, language preference, email address, credit card information, driver’s license information or account information. Personal information in Canada does not include information to enable an individual at a place of business to be contacted, such as their name, position name or title, business telephone number, business address, or business email address.
It is important to us that we collect, use or disclose your personal information only where we have your consent to do so or as provided in this Policy. Depending on the sensitivity of the personal information, your consent may be express, implied or deemed. Express consent can be given orally, electronically or in writing. Implied consent is consent that can reasonably be inferred from your action or inaction. For example, when you use our Services, we will assume your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information for purposes related to the Services or for other purposes identified to you at the relevant time. Deemed consent is consent we assume in the event that you do not exercise an opt-out mechanism offered to you, provided that deemed consent is permitted under applicable laws.
By submitting your personal information to us or by obtaining or using our Services, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in the manner described in this Policy. To the extent that we are required by applicable laws to obtain your explicit consent for the collection, use or disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Policy, such consent will be requested at the appropriate time. Further, if we plan to use or disclose your personal information for a purpose not previously identified (either in this Policy or separately), we will advise you of that purpose before such use or disclosure. However, we may collect, use or disclose your personal information without your knowledge or consent where we are permitted or required to do so by applicable law or regulatory requirements.
You may change or withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice, by contacting our Privacy Officer using the contact information set out below. In some circumstances, a change or withdrawal of consent may limit our ability to provide Services to you or your ability to access certain areas of our Site.
We assume, unless you advise us otherwise, that by receiving or having access to a copy of this Policy or by continuing to deal with us, you have consented to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as explained in this Policy.

8. Links
Our Site may contain links to other websites. Linked websites are operated by third parties who are responsible for their own privacy practices and you should check those websites for their respective privacy policies.
9. Security
We use reasonable and appropriate measures designed to help you secure your personal information against accidental or unlawful loss, access or disclosure. Only staff and service providers who have a legitimate business purpose for accessing the personal information collected by us are authorized to do so. Unauthorized use of personal information by anyone affiliated with us is prohibited and constitutes grounds for disciplinary action.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as completely secure. While we strive to protect such information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to us.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that you do not disclose your information to third parties. This includes but is not limited to, ensuring that sufficient security software is installed and running on your computer, smartphone or tablet, that your network firewall is of sufficient quality and that your wireless connection is encrypted to a degree that will prevent third party access.
Personal information collected by us or third parties referenced herein may be stored and processed in another country and by using our Services or the Site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of Canada. We will use reasonable measures to ensure all personal information is protected, but cannot ensure that the laws of other countries will offer the same level of protection as Canadian laws. By submitting your personal information to us, you hereby consent to the transmission, processing and/or storage of personal information outside of Canada.
10. Cookies and Similar Technologies
In order to improve our Site on an ongoing basis, we may use cookies to track your visit. The Site also uses cookies to provide users with certain features and preference settings.
A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a web server and can only be read by the Site that gave it to you. It functions as your identification card. It is not a program and cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses.
Cookies can also customize the Site to your particular interests or store your personal information – like passwords or user IDs. If a site ever greets you with your name, chances are it’s using a cookie to do so.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie – this gives you the chance to decide whether to accept it. To learn more about cookies and how to change your settings, please use the help function in your browser. The alerts will be quite frequent, however, and may eventually become annoying.
You can use the Site without cookies, but you may have to re-enter information each time you visit. When you visit our Site, Google Analytics adds a cookie to distinguish you from other users and track your behaviour across our Site. We use this information to improve the user experience of the Site. The cookie lasts for up to 2 years. You can read about this in the Google Analytics Privacy Policy.
Similarly, we may also collect information regarding the type of device, your operating system, the browser you use, your internet service provider, your domain name, your internet protocol (IP) address, your language preferences, the location of your device, the date and time that you accessed our service, the Site that referred you to our Site, and the web pages you requested. We may use such information to evaluate service performance and service quality and to optimize the user’s experience of our Site. To collect this information, we use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies. We do not respond to or honor “do not track” signals or similar mechanisms transmitted by web browsers.
11. Personal Information and Children
We do not knowingly collect personal information from or offer Services to anyone under the age of majority where you reside (which, in Canada, may be 18 or 19 years old, depending on where you live). If you are under the age of majority, you may only provide personal information or use the Services with the permission and involvement of a parent or legal guardian.

We are committed to complying with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation. Where we have your consent or it is lawful to do so, we may provide you with direct marketing communications about us or our Services, which may be of interest to you. Such information may be sent to you by post, email, telephone or SMS.
If you have consented to receiving marketing materials from us, you can withdraw your consent to receiving those communications at any time by:

13. Your Rights
Upon written request to office@bidmoto.com, you will be informed of the existence, use and disclosure of your personal information, and will be given access to that personal information. We provide an opportunity for individuals to challenge the accuracy and completeness of their personal information and have it amended as appropriate.
14. Complaint Handling Process
Any person who wishes to make a complaint concerning the application of this Policy or, more generally, the protection of their personal information by us, must do so in writing to our Privacy Officer at the email address indicated in the following section.
The individual must provide their name, contact information, including a telephone number, as well as the subject of the complaint and the reasons for the complaint, in sufficient detail to us to evaluate the complaint. If the complaint is not specific enough, the Privacy Officer may request any additional information deemed necessary to assess the complaint.
We will treat all complaints received as confidential. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of the complaint or of all additional information deemed necessary and required by our Privacy Officer in order to process the complaint, the Privacy Officer will evaluate the complaint and provide a written response. The purpose of this assessment will be to determine whether our handling of personal information complies with this Policy, any other policies and practices in place within the organization, and applicable legislation or regulations.
We will maintain a separate file for each complaint received, each of them containing the complaint, the analysis and documentation supporting the assessment, as well as the response sent to the person who filed the complaint.
It is also possible to file a complaint with the Office of the Information & Privacy Commissioner of Alberta or any other privacy oversight body responsible for the applicable law. However, we invite any interested party to first contact our Privacy Officer and wait for our process to be completed.
15. Contacting us
Accountability with respect to your personal information is important to us.

3. Platform, Buyers and Sellers
3.1 Platform: The Platform is a motorcycle auction platform and dedicated community of motorcycle enthusiasts that allows sellers (“Sellers” and each, a “Seller”) to list their motorcycles for auction, and buyers (“Buyers” and each, a “Buyer”) to bid for them. If you wish to use the Services as a Buyer or Seller, you are required to create an account for the Services. For greater certainty, Buyers and Sellers are users of the Services and are subject to these Terms. Other users of the Services may also be required to create an account in order to fully engage with the Services, such as commenting on articles. All bids and other monetary amounts (including any starting bids and any reserve prices or minimum prices) on the Platform are in Canadian dollars.
3.2 User Verification: In order to become a Buyer or Seller, you may be asked to complete and pass a verification process on the Platform. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we assume no responsibility or liability for the verification of the identity or background of any Buyers, Sellers or other users of the Services, and your use of the Services and completion of a Transaction (as defined below) with other users is at your own risk. You must provide the applicable verification services provider with all requested information and documentation, and you are subject to any applicable terms, conditions, restrictions and other requirements of such provider. We may require you to be responsible for any fees or charges assessed by such provider in connection with your verification.
3.3 Sellers
(a) We may work with Sellers to confirm that their listings (“Listings” and each, a “Listing”) of motorcycles for auction on the Platform generally comply with the Platform’s standards and requirements (which may be revised or updated from time to time at our sole discretion) and to confirm details of the motorcycle in a Listing. Sellers may be required to revise Listings that do not comply with the Platform’s standards or requirements. We may also offer Sellers optional services (including editing text or pictures) with respect to their Listings (the “Optional Listing Services”), for the Optional Listing Services Fees (as defined below). Our edits pursuant to the Optional Listing Services are suggestions only, and are subject to the Seller’s final acceptance (which may be implied).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 3.3(a), we assume no responsibility or liability for the content of any Listing, even if we provided input on or edits to any part of it and regardless of whether Seller actually reviewed such input or edits. Each Seller is solely responsible for its Listings (as may be modified, whether or not by us), including the content thereof.
(c) Each Seller represents, warrants and covenants that: (i) except to the extent that we have expressly permitted in writing otherwise (including by allowing a Seller to select an option to indicate that it is a commercial seller, as applicable) and the Seller has notified us appropriately in connection therewith, they are using and accessing the Services only for personal and non-commercial purposes and not on behalf of a business and they are not selling motorcycles as part of the course of business; (ii) the Seller owns the motorcycles in their Listings; (iii) unless otherwise expressly stated in the Listing, each of the motorcycles in their Listings is in working order; (iv) none of the motorcycles in their Listings is the subject of both a recall by its manufacturer or any governmental or regulatory authority and a health or safety warning by any governmental or regulatory authority; (v) without limiting the other provisions in these Terms, they will ensure that their Listings are true, accurate and up-to-date, including with respect to a motorcycle’s specifications and condition; (vi) during the period that a Listing is active, they will not sell (or offer for sale) the applicable motorcycle through any other methods, including posting on any other websites or platforms; (vii) they will not bid, or allow any of their agents (including employees, if applicable) to bid, in any of their auctions or Listings; and (viii) they will not manipulate or interfere with any auctions or Listings (including their own).
3.4 Buyers: Each Buyer represents, warrants and covenants that: (a) they are using and accessing the Services only for personal and non-commercial purposes and not on behalf of a business and they are not buying or otherwise acquiring motorcycles as part of the course of business; (b) they are bidding for and acquiring motorcycles for themselves personally; and (c) they are not bidding in any auctions or Listings for which they are a Seller (or an agent thereof).
3.5 Completing the Sale
(a) Following the closing of the auction for a Listing, the winning Buyer and the Seller will be solely responsible for completing the purchase and sale of the applicable motorcycle (each purchase and sale, a “Transaction”, and more than one Transaction collectively, the “Transactions”), including negotiating and entering into a Transaction Agreement (as defined below), arranging for the transfer of legal ownership of the applicable motorcycle and payment of applicable taxes for the Transaction. Each Buyer and Seller agrees that they will act in good faith to negotiate the Transaction Agreement and complete the Transaction, and that they have complied and will comply with all applicable laws (including regulations and court orders) in relation thereto and the sale of the applicable motorcycle. For greater certainty, while the Transaction Agreement is being negotiated or the Transaction is otherwise being completed, the Seller agrees that it will not sell (or offer for sale) the applicable motorcycle through any other methods, including posting on any other websites or platforms.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Buyer and Seller acknowledges that: (i) if the highest bid on a Listing at the time the auction closes in respect thereof (such bid, the “Winning Bid”) is lower than the reserve or minimum price set by the applicable Seller, the applicable Transaction will not proceed, and we will not connect the Seller and the winning Buyer in that case; and (ii) bids by Buyers (including the Winning Bid) are expressions of interest and do not create a binding agreement between a Buyer and a Seller.
(c) Except as otherwise provided, we will connect the Seller and the winning Buyer following the closing of the auction for a Listing. You agree that we may share your information with the applicable Buyer or Seller. Any information you receive about the applicable Seller or Buyer may only be used for the purpose of completing the Transaction and may not be used or disclosed for any other purpose.
(d) Each Transaction is subject to such terms and conditions as such Buyer and Seller may negotiate and agree (including with respect to payment for and delivery of the applicable motorcycle and any applicable fees, costs, inspections and warranties), provided that such terms and conditions do not restrict our rights or expand our responsibilities under, or in any way violate, these Terms. Each Transaction, including all terms and conditions agreed by the Buyer and the Seller, constitutes a contract directly between a Buyer and a Seller (such contracts, the “Transaction Agreements” and each, a “Transaction Agreement”). Without limiting the foregoing, in respect of each such Transaction Agreement: (i) the price for the motorcycle (the “Purchase Price”) must be the Winning Bid, and (ii) unless otherwise agreed by the Buyer and the Seller, the Buyer will be responsible for any shipping or transportation costs and any other applicable costs, fees or amounts.
(e) You acknowledge and agree that: (i) we are not, and will not be, party to a Transaction Agreement or the relationship or other dealings between a Buyer and a Seller in respect of a Transaction, (ii) Buyers and Sellers are solely responsible for negotiating and agreeing to their respective Transaction Agreements and for completing their Transactions, (iii) we will not have any liability arising from, or any obligations under, any Transaction Agreements or any Transactions, (iv) we will not be responsible for supervising, monitoring or enforcing Buyers’ and Sellers’ compliance with their respective Transaction Agreements or the completion of any Transactions, and (v) we will not be involved in or liable for any disputes relating to a Transaction or Transaction Agreement, which will be settled solely between the Buyer and the Seller.
3.6 Payments
(a) Platform Fees and Optional Listing Services Fees: Buyers and Sellers are responsible for the payment of Platform Fees (as defined below) and Optional Listing Services Fees to BidMoto, respectively, in accordance with Section 5.
(b) Transaction: For each Transaction, the Buyer will be responsible for paying the Purchase Price to the Seller directly, on such terms as may be agreed by the Buyer and the Seller.

The time and method of payment (or times and methods, as applicable) in respect of the amounts set out in this Section 3.6(b) will be agreed by the Buyer and the Seller. You acknowledge and agree that we have no responsibility for or in connection with the payment or the collection of the Purchase Price, any shipping or transportation costs or any other costs, fees or amounts in connection with a Transaction.
(c) Taxes: Buyers and Sellers will be responsible for taxes in accordance with Section 6. Further, taxes relating to any amounts not covered therein (including shipping or transportation costs or any other costs, fees or amounts in connection with a Transaction) shall be the sole responsibility of the Buyer or the Seller that is responsible for the underlying payments, as the case may be.
3.7 Comments: We are not responsible for any comments or other feedback posted or made available on the Services by any users or third parties, even if that information is defamatory or otherwise legally actionable. We have no obligation or responsibility to monitor or censor these opinions or to investigate any comment posted by users for accuracy or reliability but may do so at our sole discretion. We may (but are not obligated to) remove any comments, feedback or other reviews that, at our sole discretion, violate these Terms or negatively affect our Services, operations or reputation.

(C) The Platform Fees and Optional Listing Services Fees are non-refundable.
5.2 Payment
(a) You may pay the Platform Fees by credit card or other accepted payment method. You acknowledge and agree that when you bid on a Listing, including any subsequent bids on the same Listing, we will place a pre-authorization hold or a further pre-authorization hold on your credit card or other accepted payment method for what the Platform Fee would be if your bid or subsequent bid is the Winning Bid, and you irrevocably authorize the payment provider to immediately charge you for such amount with no additional notice to or consent from you if the auction for such Listing closes and your bid or subsequent bid is the Winning Bid. Payment of the Platform Fees is due and payable at the time the auction for a Listing closes, and will be separately charged to your credit card or through another accepted method at such time if the pre-authorization hold and charge set out in the foregoing are unsuccessful.
