AUCTIONS:

Auction Time. You may start bidding as of 3:00:00 pm Eastern Time (“ET”) on October 7, 2022. There may be several Auctions occurring at the same time. Each Auction has a published start date and time and close date and time, as indicated on the Auction page. No bids will be accepted after an Auction closes.

Entering Your Bid & Bidding Increments. Every Auction will have an opening bid, which is the minimum you must bid to start the Auction for that item. Any bids placed below the highest bid will not be accepted. Each Auction is conducted independently, and the formats and minimum bids may change from Auction to Auction. The Sponsor reserves the right to limit the total number of bids that may be placed per day and per item. Bids will not roll over to subsequent Auctions of the same or similar item. Each participant will receive an e-mail to confirm your bid has been received, when you have been outbid, when you are the highest bidder for an Auction item, and when you are the highest winning bidder for an Auction item.

Increasing Your Bid. If someone bids more than you, you may continue to increase your initial bid as long there is time left in the Auction. Each Auction will have a minimum bid, as determined by the Sponsor. You cannot bid against yourself.

Retracting Your Bid: If at any time, you need to retract your bid for any reason prior to the conclusion of the Auction, you must send an email to  requesting that your bid be retracted and providing the reason. Approval or denial of retraction of bid will be at the sole discretion of the Sponsor and status of a retraction request will be sent via email confirmation by Sponsor after decision to retract has been reviewed.

Highest Winning Bid/Auction Closed. The bidding will continue until the close date and time as indicated on the Auction page. No bids will be accepted after an Auction closes. When the Auction ends, the person with the highest winning bid will receive the Auction Item (provided he/she complies with and is eligible under these Terms and Conditions). In the event more than one bidder submits a bid for the same amount, the bidder who places his/her bid first, as determined by Auction’s date and time stamp will be the winner. By participating, you agree that the decisions by the Sponsor are final on all matters relating to the Auction. All highest winning bids will be subject to verification. Any additional restrictions applicable to an Auction item will be posted on that Auction’s page.

How Can I Make Sure I Receive Auction Emails? All bidding notices, winning confirmation emails and other important communications are managed through email as part of your agreement of the Auction Terms & Conditions. To ensure delivery of Auction communication emails directly to your inbox, please add  to your “Address Book” and “Safe Senders List” when you register for the Auction. Sponsor is not responsible for misdirected emails or undeliverable emails. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that you receive our emails.
