SEVEN CHAMPION轮所附光租租约详见第五款“其他披露”。
《竞拍公告》、《特别规定》以及通过其他渠道所提供的相关船舶资料和数据参数（合称“船舶信息”），仅供竞买人作为参考，不构成对竞拍标的交割时船舶状况和条件的任何保证、承诺、担保，竞拍标的以交接时的现状为准。如实际情况与上述资料或数据有出入，不影响本次竞拍成交和竞拍成交价及其他竞拍相关事项；竞拍成交后，我司和转让方不承担竞拍标的任何瑕疵责任和质量问题，亦不会就与该船有关的任何瑕疵或事宜承担任何责任。
二、竞拍成交：
1.竞拍成交后，成功竞买人（即“买受人”）必须当天向下述电邮地址（auction@shipbid.net）发送邮件对竞拍成交信息进行书面确认，并在竞拍成交后的2个工作日内向我司递交买受人签署的6份正本《竞拍成交确认书》（以正式发出快递的日期为准）。
2.本次竞拍标的为“SEVEN CHAMPION”及其附带的光租租约，该船舶的买卖合同已在挪威船舶经纪人协会的《SALEFORM 2012》版本基础上进行了修订，并以附件形式公示。该船在出售时附现行光租租约（“光租租约”），因此，在船舶所有权从卖方转移到买方的同时，转让方在光租租约中的权利和义务应根据转让协议（Novation Agreement）的条款和条件转让给买方，该转让协议也作为本特别规定的附件（“转让协议（Novation Agreement）”）。
竞买人在完成报名参拍手续（以取得竞价号牌为准）后，即视为确认和接受本竞拍公告、特别规定、买卖合同（MOA）、转让协议（Novation Agreement）（合称“买卖文件”）中的所有内容。买受人最晚应在竞拍成交后的10个工作日内与转让方签订《船舶买卖合同》（MOA）、转让协议（Novation Agreement）及相关协议。
《船舶买卖合同》（MOA）及转让协议（Novation Agreement）除完善必要信息（如公司名称、成交价格、签约日期等）以及买卖双方一致同意调整的内容以外，原则上不作其他修改。买卖双方签订《船舶买卖合同》（MOA）后，若买卖合同（MOA）、转让协议（Novation Agreement）与竞拍公告内容有冲突或歧义，则以买卖双方签订后的《船舶买卖合同》（MOA）内容为准。
3.买卖双方同意指定浙江拍船网航运交易股份有限公司作为第三方船舶交易服务方,为本次竞拍及交易事宜提供服务。买卖双方应在《船舶买卖合同》(MOA)、转让协议(Novation Agreement)及其他与该船买卖相关协议签署当天和浙江拍船网航运交易股份有限公司共同签订《第三方船舶交易服务协议》。

第三方船舶交易服务方根据《船舶买卖合同》（MOA）和《第三方船舶交易服务协议》的约定，在收到船舶交接确认书（PODA）正本或扫描件后的3个工作日内，将第三方船舶交易服务账户已收到的由买受人支付的全部成交价款及其他应付款项（如有），用银行转账/电汇的方式汇付到转让方指定账户，并不得在全部成交价款中抵扣任何银行手续费或买受人需向第三方船舶交易服务方支付的任何费用。与购船相关款项收、付相关的所有银行手续费及其他费用，均需由买受人承担。
5.若买受人无论因任何原因（包括但不限于资信或制裁问题等原因）出现未能在竞拍完成后的10个工作日内签订公告附件所对应的《船舶买卖合同》（MOA）或转让协议（Novation Agreement），或未能开立第三方船舶交易服务账户，或在《不涉制裁承诺书》中虚报信息，或未能按要求签订《第三方船舶交易服务协议》或支付剩余购船资金（或其中任意部分资金）等情形，则视为买受人严重违约，转让方有权单方面终止和取消本次交易，且买受人支付的竞拍保证金应在转让方发出本次交易取消的书面通知后的2个工作日内释放给转让方，作为对转让方的补偿。
如因买受人原因造成的上述情况使转让方遭受任何损失的，若转让方的损失、成本和费用（即“损失”）金额超过买受人已支付的竞拍保证金或购船定金，转让方有权利要求买受人进一步赔偿所有损失和费用以及相关利息。
