Auctions and Purchases

  1. Upon a User placing a Bid in an active Auction, the price of the Product for that Auction increases by the amount specified. Each Bid constitutes an irrevocable offer by such User to purchase the Product under the terms and conditions for such Auction. Upon completion of the Auction, BidSauce will accept the winning Bid, whereupon, an agreement for purchase of such Product shall be made and be binding upon such User and BidSauce, under the terms and conditions of such Auction.
  2. Unless otherwise set forth in such Auction, each new Bid resets the 'remaining time' for the Auction by the amount set for such Auction, which is in addition to an increase in the purchase price by the amount reflected in such Auction. The Auction ends when the remaining time reaches zero. The User with the last (and highest) Bid wins the Auction, at the applicable purchase price. All other Bids placed on the item expire and will not be credited back to any Account or be eligible for use. The winning (last) Bidder is determined based upon our records and will be made in our sole discretion.
  3. The successful bidder of each Auction must go to the "Winners" section to acknowledge all of the applicable Auction and purchase information, including purchase price, shipping costs, payment options, and shipping instructions. The User must select a payment option and pay the purchase price, plus shipping costs, plus applicable taxes. If an Auction win has not been acknowledged and paid with seven (7) days of the Auction end-date, BidSauce reserves the right to reject the offer to purchase the Product.
  4. Upon payment of the applicable purchase price, the shipping costs, and taxes, BidSauce, shall initiate the shipment of the Product to the address information supplied by the winning Bidder. Shipment will be made from our suppliers or from our warehouse. The Website has more details on shipping limitations and restrictions.
  5. Except for audio or video recordings and computer software, any Product purchased from BidSauce may be returned within seven (7) days of shipping, in original condition with all original packaging and material. The "Returns" section of the Website will have proper details.
  6. A system outage has occurred if no bids can be submitted for items due to an unforeseeable disruption in a system. In such instance, auctions will be temporarily halted and the remaining times for the auctions, the current bidding price and the current highest bidder will be maintained. After the disruption has been resolved, the auctions will be continued and 10 minutes will be added to the remaining times for the auctions. Temporarily halted auctions are clearly indicated. Bids placed on a temporarily halted auction shall not be credited back on a user's account and are not eligible for a refund for bids used or other costs incurred.
  7. BidSauce provides no assurance or promise for the constant and uninterrupted availability of the Website and technical systems. Without limitation to any other disclaimer set forth herein, BidSauce shall not be liable for any damage that occurs due to Bids submitted by Users not being received by BidSauce or not being received promptly or not being considered, as a consequence of technical faults.
  8. Each User is limited to 4 auction wins in a 24 hour period. Periods run on a 12:00a.m. to 12:00 a.m. cycle. Also, each user account is limited to 30 auction wins per 30 day sliding cycle.
