Please Read Carefully Prior to Bidding & Buying Online.

The Following Policies apply to the purchase of Online Auctions & Items only. 

I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE AUCTION.

I HEREBY AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

I FURTHER AGREE TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND PAY FOR ALL PURCHASES.

Bidding on Items

You must be a registered user to bid on items. By bidding, you are stating that you are ready and willing to purchase that item for your bid amount, plus any shipping charges disclosed in the listing. If you are outbid, or your bid does not meet the reserve price, you are under no obligation to buy. But in all other cases, you are entering a contract to buy the item and to deliver payment within the time period specified (48 hours from auction closing). If you cannot pay please don’t bid. Your bids are final and non-retractable. 

Bidder Registration

All persons who wish to bid in the auction or want to purchase must register by creating an online account. To register, the Bidder must provide all of the registration information requested. Bidders must be 18 years of age or older and have a valid driver’s license. Faith for Fathers reserves the right to refuse to register or admit any person at its sole discretion. Invoices and correspondence relating to purchases will be sent in accordance with the information on the bidder’s registration. Your registration will be accepted but your information will be verified and your account may be disabled until the necessary information is provided to verify the account.

Starting Bid

Faith for Fathers will predetermine the number of Item(s) in an auction. Faith for Fathers will set the starting bid on each item. The Starting Bid is designed to encourage bidding. If an item is incorrectly described online, Faith for Fathers reserves the right to rectify such error and email to all active bidders the correct description.

Extended Bidding

Faith for Fathers uses an “extended bidding” process to close all of our auctions. If someone adds a bid within the final minute before the auction ends, the auction will be extended by 1 minute.

This system is great for bidders in that it prevents “sniping” and ensures every lot goes to the bidder who is really willing to pay the most for the item and generates the maximum benefit to the ministry of Faith for Fathers. Faith for Fathers reserves the right to end the auction at any time in extended bidding.

Bidder Rights

All rights granted herein are personal and exclusive to the registered bidder, and may not be assigned or transferred to another person or entity, by operation of law or otherwise. Any attempt to assign or transfer any such rights shall be void and unenforceable. No third party may rely on any benefit or right conferred herein or granted to any Bidder. If you have any questions, please contact Faith for Fathers immediately.

Disputes between Bidders

In case of any dispute between bidders, Faith for Fathers, at its sole and complete discretion, may reopen the bidding pursuant to specific terms determined by Faith for Fathers between the two highest bidders only, until the property is sold. If a dispute arises after the sale of any lot, Faith for Fathers’ records shall be deemed conclusive in all respects.

Internet Bidding

Time of the Auction

An auction starts and will close on the dates specified on the auction item’s detail page. However, Faith for Fathers follows the 1-minute Overtime rule. This rule means that the auction can continue for an additional one (1) minute, up to fifteen (15) times, for verified bidders that have bid on any particular lot prior to the close. The auction has ended when Faith for Fathers’ website indicates the auction is closed.

Stop Payment/Insufficient Funds

Upon making payment for a lot(s), no stop payment of funds will be honored. Any stop payment order shall be deemed by the parties to be prima facie evidence of fraud existing at the time the transaction was consummated and shall be construed by the parties as intent to defraud.

Sale by Lots

Faith for Fathers reserves the right to include in the auction any Lot and the right to withdraw any Lot prior to posting for bids at the beginning of the auction. Faith for Fathers may combine, subdivide, regroup or reorganize any Lots.

Payment

Payment in full must be paid by the Buyer in the form of major credit card or debit card (if you have a question about whether a credit card is accepted please call Faith for Fathers before the sale), prior to the delivery of any item purchased. Faith for Fathers reserves the right to refuse credit card payments. Buyer shall pay the purchase price, shipping, and handling charges (if any), plus any and all applicable taxes unless such taxes are exempted by law (proof of exemption must be provided). If any Bidder/Buyer does not pay Faith for Fathers for any Item(s) within forty-eight (48) hours after the end of an Auction, Faith for Fathers has the right to offer the item(s) to the 2nd highest bidder for payment. If Auction does not have a 2nd highest bidder, the item may be relisted for sale online or added to another auction lot in the future. Failure to fulfill Buyer’s payment obligations will affect future bidding privileges.

Acceptance of Terms

A bid placed by any person shall be conclusive proof that he or she acquainted himself or herself with the terms and conditions of sale and agreed to be bound by such terms and conditions prior to placing any bid.
