ClearCycle Ltd will endeavour to write accurate descriptions on all lots and the following terms may be used when describing lots.

• “Tested Working” – We have tested the item, and the basic functions are working as designed, i.e. a mixer will power on and will turn an accessory as designed, however, this is not extensive to all the mixers functions and all accessories.
• “Powers On” – We have plugged the item in, and the item has power, i.e. it is not always possible due to time restraints to test iron, steamers, printers etc.
• “Vendor Suggests” – We the auctioneer, have not tested the item but have been advised by the vendor the item is working.
