Privacy Policy: To learn how AA uses the personal information we collect in connection with the Auction, please see the Privacy Policy incorporated herein by reference. Registering as a Bidder: Bidding: A “Bid” on any Property in this Auction is an irrevocable offer to buy the Property at the price indicated by the bidder in the Bid, provided the bidder’s offer is the highest dollar amount offered at each Auction’s close (“Winning Bid”). Any individual that makes a Bid is a “Bidder.” a) Entering Bids After creating a Bidder account (see “Registration” on the Auction site) and reviewing these Conditions of Sale, review Air Auctioneer’s “How it Works” page to learn how to browse an auction, connect an account and place a Bid: https://airauctioneer.com/how-it-works b) Payment As soon as you place and confirm your Bid, your Bid is submitted. You accept and agree that any Bid submitted by you is final. AA is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or other issues resulting from the use of the Internet, including but not limited to transmission, execution, or processing of your Bid. AA is not responsible for any errors in bidding. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct item(s). The Bidder should make sure the bid price they enter (including any taxes or fees) is the price they are willing and able to pay. Once the bidding has closed and the winning Bidder has been announced, the Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for that item, even if the Bidder has made an error. The credit card of the winning Bidder will be billed according to the User Agreement of Air Auctioneer (https://airauctioneer.com/user-agreement) and Stripe. If the credit card is declined for any reason, the next highest Bidder will become the winning Bidder and the process will begin again until completed. A Bid(s) entered by mistake on the part of a Bidder is NOT grounds for cancellation of that Bid. Each Bidder is responsible for their own account and for their Bid. In addition, allowing access to another who enters a bid without your knowledge is NOT grounds for cancellation of a Bid. c) Shipping If the item won requires shipping, arrangements will be made with AA and the winner Bidder. d) Fraudulent Bidding All Bidders must meet AA’s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder may be disqualified at AA’s sole discretion and will not be awarded any Property. Such determination may be made by AA in its sole discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. AA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to exclude any person from the Auction. Bidding is not available to minors under the law of the applicable jurisdiction or individuals who cannot form legally binding contracts under applicable law. If an entity places a Bid, then the person executing the Bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful Bid. e) Winning & Disputes The successful Bidder is the highest Bidder acknowledged by AA. In the event of any dispute between Bidders, or in the event of doubt on AA’s part as to the validity of any Bid, AA will have final discretion either to determine the successful Bidder or to re-offer and resell the Property in question. If any dispute arises after the sale, AA’s sale record is conclusive. While AA makes every effort to guarantee accuracy, in the event of an error, and a Property is accidentally declared sold by mistake, AA reserves the right to cancel the sale and relist the Property in its sole discretion. By accepting the Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. Title to any Property remains with AA until the Property is paid for in full by the Bidder.
