bidders, the offer that will be recognised as valid, will be the one which was submitted

first. BASEZERO reserves the right to refuse the bids of unknown or perceived unreliable

bidders; In case a deposit for the full bid amount should be paid, the bid will be accepted,

the same applies in case BASEZERO will be provided with other satisfactory and tangible
