PARANZINO BROTHERS AUCTIONEERS, INC.
Online Auction Terms and Conditions
By registering for or placing a bid in an auction conducted by Paranzino Brothers Auctioneers, Inc., you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully before registering or bidding.

1. Bidder Registration and Approval
All bidders must be at least 18 years of age to register and receive a bidder number.

A valid credit card is required at the time of registration. Due to recent attempts at bidder fraud, all new bidders must be approved by Paranzino Brothers Auctioneers before participating in an auction.

A temporary $1.00 charge will be placed on your credit card to verify its validity. This amount will be refunded after verification.

Please contact your credit card company before bidding to confirm your daily spending limit. Credit cards may have daily transaction limits regardless of the available balance or total credit limit. These limits may be increased by contacting your card issuer.

2. Payment Terms and Credit Card Authorization
The credit card provided at registration will be used to pay for your purchases after the auction has completely closed.

You cannot change your payment card after registering or signing in. The card authorized during registration is the only card that will be charged. If you need to make alternative payment arrangements, please contact our office before bidding.

If you win one or more items, an invoice and receipt will be sent to your registered email address after the auction has closed and your card has been charged. These emails are generated automatically by the bidding platform. Please check your spam or junk folder if you do not receive them.

Your card will be charged once for the total amount due, regardless of how many items you purchase.

If your credit card payment is declined, you must bring a valid payment card and your driver's license to the scheduled pickup to pay for your purchases. Payment will not be accepted over the phone.

A paid receipt is required to collect your items. A printed copy may be obtained at our office.

All purchases must be paid for immediately after the auction closes. No items may be removed until payment has been received in full. Failure to pay may result in a permanent ban from participating in our auctions.

Paranzino Brothers Auctioneers, Inc. reserves the right to deny or revoke bidding privileges at its discretion.

3. Bidder Ratings and Approval
Paranzino Brothers Auctioneers, Inc. uses HiBid as its online bidding platform. HiBid assigns bidders a bidding score based on their activity and history on the platform.

We reserve the right to reject or restrict bidders who have low or negative bidding scores associated with other auctioneers using HiBid.

4. Online Bidding and Technical Issues
Paranzino Brothers Auctioneers, Inc. and its sellers are not responsible for service interruptions, technical errors, omissions, or other problems caused by the online bidding platform, internet connectivity, hardware, software, or other circumstances beyond our control.

Online auctions depend on electronic systems that may malfunction or become unavailable without warning. We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted, or error-free access to the bidding platform.

At its sole discretion, Paranzino Brothers Auctioneers, Inc. reserves the right to void a sale, temporarily suspend bidding, extend or reschedule an auction's closing time, or resell any items or lots affected by a technical malfunction.

All decisions made by Paranzino Brothers Auctioneers, Inc. regarding these matters are final.

We have no control over internet connectivity or your personal equipment. If you are seriously interested in an item, we strongly recommend registering in advance and placing your bids early rather than waiting until the final moments of the auction. However, early bidding does not guarantee a successful purchase.

5. Nonpayment and Collection Costs
Placing a bid constitutes a commitment to purchase an item if you are the winning bidder.

If you place a winning bid and fail to pay your invoice, your account may be referred to our attorney for collection. You may also be responsible for our out-of-pocket expenses, including costs incurred in transporting items that you failed to pay for or collect.

6. Item Descriptions, Quantities, and Clerical Errors
Occasionally, an item's listed quantity may conflict with its description due to a clerical or typographical error.

For example, a description may state "Faucet by the piece x 2," meaning the winning bidder is required to purchase two faucets at the bid price, while the quantity field incorrectly displays one.

In such cases, the item description will govern, and the buyer will be charged for the quantity specified in the description.

We make every effort to ensure that all listings are accurate, but errors can occasionally occur. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

If an error is identified during an auction, we will correct the listing as soon as possible. Paranzino Brothers Auctioneers, Inc. reserves the right to amend, remove, or correct item listings and to correct clerical errors whenever they are discovered.

Bidders are responsible for reviewing item descriptions carefully before placing a bid.

7. Shipping Policy
We do not offer shipping.

All purchases must be collected in person during the designated pickup dates and times. Please review the pickup schedule before bidding and make sure you can collect your purchases within the specified timeframe.

8. Pickup Policy, Abandoned Items, and Storage Fees
All items must be collected during the scheduled pickup dates and times announced for the auction.

Items not collected within the designated pickup period will be considered abandoned and forfeited. These items may be resold at a future auction, and no refund will be issued.

By participating in the auction, you agree not to initiate a credit card chargeback for items you purchased but failed to collect.

A storage fee of $100 per day will be charged for items not picked up during the scheduled pickup period.

Please bring sufficient help, tools, and equipment to safely remove and load your purchases. Buyers are responsible for arranging the labor and transportation necessary to remove their items.

Forklift assistance is available as a courtesy for larger items secured to pallets. Forklifts are intended only for lifting palletized items.

Forklift service is provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Please be patient while waiting for assistance.

Buyers assume full responsibility for damage to merchandise or personal property associated with having their items loaded by a forklift or its operator. Paranzino Brothers Auctioneers, Inc. will not provide discounts or refunds for merchandise or property damage resulting from forklift loading.

9. Item Condition, Inspection, and Warranties
All items are sold AS IS, without warranties or guarantees unless expressly stated in the individual item description.

No express or implied warranty or guarantee is made regarding the accuracy of an item's description, authenticity, genuineness, quality, or condition.

Preview days are provided to allow bidders to inspect items before bidding. We strongly encourage all bidders to take advantage of these opportunities and examine items carefully.

By placing a bid, you acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to inspect the item, review its description, and determine whether it meets your expectations.

10. Soft Close and Bid Retractions
Paranzino Brothers Auctioneers, Inc. uses the "soft close" method for online auctions.

If a bid is placed on an item during the final two minutes before that item's scheduled closing time, the bidding period for that item will be extended by an additional two minutes. This process will continue each time another bid is placed within the final two minutes, until bidding activity stops.

Items will continue to close in sequence, with the next items scheduled to close at five-second intervals.

Please carefully review each item before placing a bid to ensure you are bidding on the correct item.

All bids are binding and cannot be retracted. Please make sure you understand the item description, quantity, and terms before submitting your bid.

11. Employee and Officer Participation
Where permitted by applicable law, Paranzino Brothers Auctioneers, Inc. does not prohibit its employees or officers from participating in its auctions.

12. Buyer's Premium and Sales Tax
A 10% buyer's premium, plus applicable local sales tax, will be added to all purchases.

Please account for the buyer's premium and applicable taxes when determining your maximum bid.

13. Licensing and Auction Recovery Fund
Paranzino Brothers Auctioneers, Inc. is licensed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture.

Any person aggrieved by an auctioneer's actions may initiate a claim against the Auction Recovery Fund established under Section 4707.25 of the Ohio Revised Code, subject to applicable statutory requirements.

14. Governing Law and Venue
All auctions conducted by Paranzino Brothers Auctioneers, Inc. are operated from Mahoning County, Ohio.

By participating in an auction, you agree that any litigation arising from or relating to the auction will be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, and that venue for such litigation will be in a court of proper jurisdiction located in Mahoning County, Ohio.

If you do not agree to these governing law and venue provisions, do not register for or participate in the auction.

15. Acknowledgment and Acceptance

Paranzino Brothers Auctioneers, Inc. reserves the right to enforce these terms and conditions and to deny or revoke bidding privileges as permitted by applicable law.

IMPORTANT AUCTION INFORMATION This is a public auction with online bidding only. Please read the following information carefully before bidding. ITEM CONDITIONS All items are sold AS IS, WHERE IS. All sales are final. No refunds will be issued for items you decide you no longer want or are unable to pick up. Bid retractions are not permitted. Please bid carefully. Items are photographed and described to the best of our ability. However, we cannot guarantee the condition, completeness, or suitability of any item. We strongly encourage you to attend the scheduled preview days and inspect items for yourself before bidding. This is especially important for store-return merchandise and Andersen windows, as sizes, specifications, conditions, and included components may vary. We reserve the right to amend, remove, or correct item listings and will correct clerical errors when identified. BIDDER REGISTRATION Due to recent fraudulent registration attempts, all new bidders must be approved before they can participate in our auctions. We strongly recommend registering early to allow sufficient time for approval and avoid delays. We apologize for any inconvenience, but this measure is necessary to help protect our auction and legitimate bidders. PAYMENT INFORMATION The credit card you designate for payment will be charged after the auction closes. If your designated card is declined, we cannot access or charge other credit cards listed on your account. You will need to present another acceptable payment card and your driver's license at pickup. All purchases must be paid in full by the end of the scheduled pickup period. We do not accept payments over the phone. A valid email address is required so we can email you a copy of your receipt. Please add Online@pbauctions.com to your email contacts to help prevent your receipt from being sent to your spam or junk folder. PICKUP INFORMATION Our goal is to have all purchases picked up during the scheduled pickup dates and times. Please review the pickup schedule and location carefully before bidding. Buyers are responsible for picking up their purchases during the scheduled pickup period. If you are unable to pick up your items during the scheduled times, an alternate pickup arrangement may be available for a $100 per day fee. Alternate pickup arrangements must be approved in advance. Please contact us before the scheduled pickup period ends to make arrangements. Items not picked up by the end of the scheduled pickup period, without an approved alternate arrangement, will be considered abandoned and may be resold at a future auction. No refunds or reimbursements will be issued for items not picked up. Please plan accordingly. We strongly encourage everyone to pick up their purchases on schedule. LOADING & SHIPPING We do not offer shipping. We do not load LTL (less-than-truckload) freight shipments. Buyers are responsible for loading and removing their own purchases. Our staff will not assist with loading unless the item is already on a pallet. Please bring enough help, equipment, and an appropriate vehicle to load and transport your purchases safely. BUYER'S PREMIUM & SALES TAX All purchases are subject to a 10% buyer's premium, plus applicable local sales tax. BEFORE YOU BID Please review the item descriptions, preview schedule, pickup location, pickup dates and times, and all information above before placing your bids.
