However, when you bid on the wrong item or decide an item is not suited for your intended use, neither our sellers nor our auction company will assume the cost of your mistakes.

Bidder acknowledges that the online auction is conducted electronically and relies on hardware and software that may malfunction without warning.

18. You should refresh your browser often to view the most up-to-date bid information, and should carefully review every bid you choose to make before submitting that bid. Bauer Auction Service will not automatically assume that any bid - even a bid that increases your own, lower bid - was made in error. Many bidders routinely increase their own bids to price an item out of the reach of other bidders. You understand and agree that you will be held responsible for having made all bids that are made using your account, even when such bids are made in error. If you mistakenly increase your own bid at any time during the auction, or make some other bidding error (e.g. placing your bidder number in the price field), you must immediately contact the Auctioneer.

19. All aspects of this auction are subject to change without notice. Bauer Auction Service reserves the right to - at any time and in the Auctioneer's sole and absolute discretion - (a) add or remove items from the auction, (b) split or combine lots, (c) add minimum bids or reserve prices, (d) cancel, suspend, extend, or reschedule the sale of an individual item, lot, auction, and/or auction event, (e) make changes to the auction's closing, inspection, or removal times, (f) reopen the bidding in its sole and absolute discretion, or (g) take any other action the Auctioneer deems necessary to effect the fair conduct of this sale or protection of buyers', sellers', or other parties' interests. In the event a seller withdraws an item from this auction prior to the close of the auction, the Auctioneer may leave the item on the catalog and buy the item back on behalf of the seller to establish the Auctioneer's earned commission and the buyer's premium due to the Auctioneer from the seller.

20. Bauer Auction Service online auctions are designed to mimic traditional "live" actions. For this reason, this auction will have a staggered, dynamic closing.
(a) Staggered Closing: This online auction will generally begin to close at a rate of six items per minute, every minute. Items' closing times will be displayed on the website, but may be extended past their scheduled closing time, as a result of the dynamic closing feature. (b) Dynamic Closing: The closing time of an item is generally extended an additional three minutes whenever a bid is placed within the three minutes leading up to an item's scheduled closing time.

21. At the conclusion of this auction, the credit card associated with your account will not be automatically charged. We offer a cash/check payment at scheduled pick up. The credit card information associated with your account will be held until auction pick up has completed. If you do not attend pick up you card will be charged at that time plus a transport fee, to be assessed by Bauer Auction Service.
(a) Suspension: You understand and agree that if, at the end of this auction if you do not appear at pick up and Bauer Auction Service is twice unable to charge your credit card for the entire amount of your purchases, Bauer Auction Service may suspend your online bidding privileges indefinitely. Bauer Auction Service may reinstate suspended accounts in the Auctioneer's sole and absolute discretion.

23. You understand and agree that any violation of these Terms and Conditions - and/or any unsafe or illegal activity during any auction-related event - may result in Bauer Auction Service suspending your online bidding privileges indefinitely. Any Bidder's attempt to re-register after having been suspended - whether directly by creating a new account or indirectly by using or directing the use of a third party's account - will constitute a breach of these Terms and Conditions, and may expose the Bidder to civil and criminal liability for fraud. The Auctioneer further reserves the right to refund the Bidder and eject any Bidder or agent thereof from any premises if the Bidder becomes disruptive. In the event such an ejection, it will be within the Auctioneer's discretion to refund any amounts paid by the ejected Bidder. Nothing in this paragraph will limit the Auctioneer's right to any other remedies at law or in equity.

24. The Registered Bidder acknowledges receipt and copy of these Terms and Conditions, and having read and understood the provisions set forth therein, accepts same and agrees to be bound thereby.
