TERMS AND CONDITIONS
BIDDING AT THE ONLINE AUCTION CONFIRMS THAT BIDDER HAS READ AND AGREED TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS SALE. DO NOT BID IF YOU HAVE NOT READ OR AGEED TO THE TERMS OF THIS SALE.
2. Auction Basics. This is a public auction sale (benefit/charity auction) conducted by Menish Auctions LLC with proceeds benefitting Gilda’s Club Louisville. Prior to bidding, all participants must read the Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale, which describe the terms governing the purchase of lot sold at the Auction Sale. By participating in the auction, a Bidder agrees to be bound by the Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale printed in the auction catalogue, posted on the Auctioneer’s website or posted at the Auction Sale. As auctioneer, Menish Auctions acts only as agent for the Seller. The sale contract for the lot(s) purchased at the Auction Sale is made directly between the Buyer and Seller. Sellers may bid and purchase lot(s) in the Auction Sale consigned by them or by other Sellers. ??3. Descriptions. The lot descriptions are based primarily on information provided by Sellers. Each lot has been described as accurately as possible. All Bidders are encouraged to inspect and investigate lots they are interested in prior to purchase. Any and all statements relating to the lots in the catalogue, or contained in advertisements or promotional materials, are merely statements of opinion and should not be construed as, nor do they constitute representations or warranties of fact or the assumption of any liability on the part of Menish Auctions or the Seller.
4. Bidder Registration Required. All persons seeking to bid must register to bid at the Auction Sale by completing registration or have been given permission to absentee bid by Menish Auctions or have registered for this auction on Proxibid. Bidders must be at least 21 years old and may be required to show proof of age. By submitting a bid, the Bidder acknowledges that Bidder has read the Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale, the descriptions for the lot(s) on which they have bid, and that they agree to adhere to these Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale. All Bidders are personally liable for their bids, whether or not acting as an agent. The Bidder acknowledges that the invoice describing a lot by number incorporates the catalogue and Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale.
5. The Bidding Process. The Auctioneer may open or accept the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller, receiving a telephone or internet Bidder, or any other Bidder in the Auction Sale. The Auctioneer may accept or decline any bid, challenge any bid or set bidding increments, as the Auctioneer in its sole discretion shall determine. All lots shall be sold to the highest Bidder as determined by the Auctioneer. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. No lot will be broken up unless otherwise permitted by the Auctioneer. Lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless Auctioneer directs otherwise. Auctioneer shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to adjudicate all bidding disputes and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to rescind the acceptance of any bid and place the lot(s) for Auction Sale again. Auctioneer's decision on all bidding disputes shall be binding and final.
THIS IS NOT AN APPROVAL SALE. Bidders who physically attend the Auction Sale, either personally or through an agent ("Floor Bidders") should carefully examine all lots which they are interested in purchasing. Bidders who bid by telephone, either personally or through an agent, receive a similar benefit as Floor Bidders in being able to actively participate in the live Auction Sale ("Telephone Bidders"). Therefore, except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale, LOTS LISTED IN THIS CATALOGUE MAY NOT BE RETURNED FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER BY ANY BIDDER.
?AUCTIONEER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the bid intended. Once the hammer has fallen and the Auctioneer has announced the winning Bidder, the Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Bidder has made a mistake. Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time, even after the hammer has fallen, until the Bidder has taken physical possession of the lot. No Bidder shall have a right to claim any consequential damages if a lot is withdrawn, even after the Auction Sale. ??6. PURCHASING / PAYMENT. Subject to fulfillment of all of the conditions set forth herein, on the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the highest Bidder acknowledged and accepted by the Auctioneer, and thereupon, such Bidder: (a) assumes full risk and responsibility for the purchased lot, and (b) shall pay the Purchase Price and all Buyer’s Premium in full, in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. When applicable, buyers will be charged sales tax of 6%. Payment is to be made immediately after the auction to Speed Art Museum by credit card, preferably or by cash or check but only with approval by the Gilda’s Club Louisville.??7. A Buyer's Premium of ten percent (3%) of the Hammer Price on each individual lot will be added to all purchases made at the auction to pay for the cost of the auction, not commission.
?Menish Auctions will not assume responsibility for the shipping and packaging of purchased lots. It is the Bidder's responsibility to arrange for pick up or delivery of purchased lots within two (2) days of the Auction Sale. All purchased lots are at Buyer’s risk.
Bidder acknowledges and agrees that neither Menish Auctions, nor its employees, affiliates, agents, third-party providers or Sellers warrant that the auction will be unimpaired, uninterrupted or error free and accordingly shall not be liable for such events. Bidders shall have no recourse against the Seller for any reason whatsoever.
