Our Services
1. AirAuctioneer is a platform through which Bidders, Buyers, Sellers and other Users connect for the purpose of browsing, bidding on, buying and selling Items, as well as making Donations, in an online auction format. We do not act as a traditional auctioneer and do not perform the role of a traditional auctioneer, but simply provide the technological infrastructure through which Users can connect and transact with each other. The Seller, and not AirAuctioneer, is the “auctioneer”.
2. Additionally, AirAuctioneer is not a seller. We have no information to verify or contradict the information or content posted by Users (including, but not limited to, information or content regarding Items or Recipients), or any information as to any Bidder’s or Donor’s needs. If you believe another User has done something misleading or improper, please contact us at team@airauctioneer.com and refer to the disputes process in clause 30.
3. AirAuctioneer is not involved in transactions among Users. In particular, the contract for sale of an Item is directly between the Buyer and Seller.
4. AirAuctioneer makes no representation, does not warrant, and has no control whatsoever over:
  1. the quality, safety, fitness for purpose or legality of the Items or content posted by Users;
  2. the truth or accuracy of Item listings and/or User’s content;
  3. the ability of Sellers to sell Items or the ability of Buyers to buy Items;
  4. the ability of Buyer’s to pay for Items; or
  5. the ability of a Bidder, Buyer or Seller to actually complete a transaction, return an Item or act lawfully when using our Site.
5. AirAuctioneer does not take ownership of or title in Items or Donations at any time, and does not transfer in part or whole any legal ownership of Items from Seller to Buyer (or from Donor / Item Donor to Seller or from Seller to Recipient). AirAuctioneer does not have any control whatsoever over when title and risk in an Item or a Donation will pass from the Seller to the Buyer or from Seller to Recipient.
6. AirAuctioneer does not act as the agent or representative of a User for any purpose in relation to this User Agreement or the Services.
7. Users acknowledge that AirAuctioneer collects only limited information about them and other Users, which may be only an email address. Therefore, we recommend each User undertakes their own enquiries and ensure they collect sufficient details regarding the Person(s) with whom they are transacting on this Site to ensure they are satisfied that the Person(s) is properly identified. Buyers can initiate contact with Sellers by using the contact form provided on the auction page, and Sellers can communicate with Buyers using the Buyer’s email address provided on the Site. Users consent to their details being made available to other Users in accordance with the terms of our Privacy Policy.
8. AirAuctioneer is neither involved in nor responsible for the delivery of an Item. The method of, and any charges for, delivery of an Item is determined by the Seller. The Seller may post instructions on the Site regarding delivery or collection of an Item, and such instructions may be contained within automated emails sent by the Site on behalf of the Seller. However, AirAuctioneer is not responsible for the content of these instructions and in the event of any difficulty in receiving an Item, the Buyer’s sole recourse is to seek redress from the Seller.
Registration
1. Any person wishing to use our Services for the purposes of selling, bidding or buying, must first Register.
2. Our Services are available only to individuals if they are over 18 years of age. Individuals Registering confirm that they are over 18 years of age.
3. If an account is created on behalf of a User which is not an individual, that person who created the account represents and warrants to AirAuctioneer that they are over 18 years of age and authorised to act on behalf of the User and bind the User to this User Agreement. In providing the Services to the User, AirAuctioneer relies on the representation and warranty in this clause.
4. Immediately after Registering, each User must complete the user profile administration section on the Site. In that section, the User must:

  3. if the User is not an individual, nominate up to (but not exceeding) three individuals (and specify their email addresses) who are authorised to use the User’s account on the User’s behalf (Specified Individuals). Each Specified Individual must be over 18 years of age; and
  4. if the User is not an individual, nominate one of the Specified Individuals to be the “Super Administrator”, who is authorised to maintain the User’s account on the User’s behalf.

7. Users acknowledge that if they nominate Specified Individuals, then information will be provided to us in relation to those Specified Individuals (including, but not limited to, their name and contact details). If a User intends to nominate Specified Individuals, then that User must, prior to nominating the Specified Individuals and providing information about those Specified Individuals, procure that each Specified Individual agrees to the collection, use, storage and disclosure of such information by AirAuctioneer in accordance with our Privacy Policy. By nominating a Specified Individual, a User represents and warrants to AirAuctioneer that it has procured this agreement from each Specified Individual and AirAuctioneer relies on this representation and warranty in providing the Services to the User.
8. If a User nominates Specified Individuals under clause 5(d), then only those Specified Individuals may use that User’s account, and only the Super Administrator may maintain that User’s account. A User may change its Specified Individuals from time to time (but at no time may the number of Specified Individuals exceed 3), by updating the information set out in the user profile administration section on the Site. A User may also change its Super Administrator from time to time, by updating the information set out in the user profile administration section on the Site.
9. In addition to the above, if a User nominates Specified Individuals under clause 5(d), then that User:
  1. must procure that each Specified Individual agrees to be bound by each part of the User Agreement (as if they were the User which nominated that Specified Individual);
  2. represents to AirAuctioneer that each Specified Individual is authorised to act on behalf of the User;
  3. must ensure each Specified Individual complies with all parts of the User Agreement which apply to or are binding on the User which nominated that Specified Individual;
  4. will be responsible for the actions of each Specified Individual, such that a breach of this User Agreement by a Specified Individual will be deemed to be a breach of this User Agreement by the User; and
  5. indemnifies the Indemnified Parties, in relation to any and all Claims incurred by an Indemnified Party, arising from an action of, or a Claim made by, a Specified Individual.
10. Each account created on the Site may only have one User.

We will use, store and disclose information provided to us by a Third Party Service, and you consent to our use of such information, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
5. We provide access to Third Party Services for the convenience of our Users, and the integration or inclusion of such services does not imply an endorsement or recommendation by us.
Credits, payments and refund policy
1. All prices on the Site are cited in US Dollars (US$) unless otherwise stated.
2. AirAuctioneer uses a system of credits to allow Users to list Items (Item Credits). Item Credits may be purchased through the Site in bundles or granted free of charge from time to time by AirAuctioneer, at its sole discretion.
3. To list an Item on the Site, the Seller must redeem one Item Credit. To redeem one Item Credit, the Seller must have a positive Item Credit balance, that is, the Seller must have at least one Item Credit available to be redeemed. Once an Item Credit has been redeemed in respect of an Item, that Item Credit is non-refundable except in the following circumstances:
  1. the Item Credit has been used in respect of an Item which is subsequently withdrawn or removed from the Site for any reason prior to the first bid being placed, including reasons under clause 15(e);
  2. AirAuctioneer decides to refund the Item Credit, in its sole discretion; or
  3. AirAuctioneer exercises its discretion under clause 17(d)(v) for any reason which is not related to an act or omission of the Seller.
  For the avoidance of doubt, an Item Credit will be forfeited if (noting this list is not exhaustive): an Item does not sell (and a first bid has been placed), an Item is refunded, an Item is withdrawn or removed from the Site after the first bid is placed, the User holds Item Credits which are not needed or a User changes their mind.
4. Item Credits have no cash value and are not exchangeable for cash. The accumulation of Item Credits does not entitle a User to any vested rights and AirAuctioneer does not guarantee that a Seller will be able to use its Item Credits.
5. Unused Item Credits expire at the earlier of:
  1. a User’s account being cancelled or otherwise terminated or closed under this User Agreement; and
  2. the expiry date (if any) displayed next to the Item Credits on the User’s account page.
6. Except as permitted by AirAuctioneer from time to time, Item Credits cannot be assigned, exchanged, traded, bartered, purchased or otherwise transferred or sold. Any Item Credits so acquired are void.
7. From time to time, AirAuctioneer may advertise or offer to select Users the ability to upgrade to an “Unlimited Account” for a fixed period for a fixed price, whereby the User is granted unlimited Item Credits for the relevant period. Such advertisements and offers are at AirAuctioneer’s sole discretion and a User cannot apply for such an upgrade. Once an Unlimited Account expires, the relevant Seller will need to purchase Item Credits in order to list an Item.
8. If a User holds a “Paid Account” (which formed part of our previous pricing and features policy) which has not reached the end of its “Account Period”, then that User will be granted an Unlimited Account for the remainder of the relevant Account Period. At the expiry of the Account Period, the User’s Paid Account will end and the User must purchase Item Credits if it intends to continue using the Services.
9. Sellers accept the responsibility to provide an exchange or refund to Buyers at their own discretion and in accordance with applicable laws. Buyers acknowledge and agree to submit all requests for return or exchange of an Item directly to the Seller concerned. AirAuctioneer is not responsible for, nor involved in processing, such requests.
10. Payments processed using Stripe will be subject to the following fees (together, the Card Processing Fees):
  1. a processing fee determined by Stripe, variable from time to time at Stripe’s discretion and published on Stripe’s website here; and
  2. for User accounts created prior to 5 January 2021, an application fee of 1% of the transaction value.
11. Sellers opting to use Stripe to collect payments agree to pay the Card Processing Fees, and agree that such fees will be deducted from the Buyer’s payments before being credited to their Stripe account.
12. Users are solely responsible for collecting and remitting any applicable taxes, fees or charges resulting from the sale or purchase of an Item or the use of our Services (including the making of a Donation). However, Users acknowledge and agree that if an applicable tax, fee or charge is payable in respect of a particular sale or purchase of an Item (or the making of a Donation), and if AirAuctioneer is required to collect such tax, fee or charge and pay it to the relevant governmental agency:
  1. the sale or purchase price (or Donation amount) for the Item may appear higher;
  2. AirAuctioneer will add the amount of such tax, fee or charge at checkout and remit that amount to the governmental agency; and
  3. AirAuctioneer will not report to a User the amount of such tax, fee or charge collected, although we will indicate at checkout if such tax, fee or charge was collected by us.
  The Buyer and Seller who are involved in the relevant transaction jointly and severally agree to indemnify each of the Indemnified Parties for any Claims incurred by an Indemnified Party, in relation to any tax, fee or charge payable in respect of a particular sale or purchase of an Item or the making of a Donation, if AirAuctioneer is required to collect such tax, fee or charge and, for any reason whatsoever, AirAuctioneer is unable to or does not take steps to complete the items set out in items (i), (ii) and (iii) above.
13. Additional policies on Item Credits, payments and refunds are set out on the Pricing and Features Page.
Cancellation of accounts
1. AirAuctioneer reserves the right to cancel a User’s account for:
  1. breach of this User Agreement;
  2. non-use by a User of their account for a period of 12 months or longer; or
  3. any other reason specified in this User Agreement.
2. If a User’s account is cancelled:
  1. a User will not be entitled to a refund of any Item Credits still held by that User, or any fee paid for an upgrade to an Unlimited Account; and
  2. any content related to that User’s account (including, but not limited to, Item listings, other auction-related content, the User’s bids and bids on the User’s Items) may be deleted from the Site or otherwise modified so as to be permanently inaccessible by the User.
Donated Items
1. A Seller may, from time to time, set up an auction page on the Site to auction Items or donated items (either of which being a Donated Item) for the purpose of sending the proceeds from the sale of those Donated Items (Charity Proceeds) to a Recipient (the auction conducted in respect of a Donated Item being a Charitable Auction).
2. By setting up a Charitable Auction, a Seller represents and warrants that they are authorised to conduct a Charitable Auction on behalf of the Recipient and that all Charity Proceeds will be paid to the Recipient. In providing the Services, AirAuctioneer relies on the representation and warranty in this clause.
3. Following creation of the Charitable Auction, the Seller may invite Users or other third parties to propose Donated Items for the benefit of the Recipient (Item Donors). If an Item Donor is not a User, the Seller must direct that Item Donor to this User Agreement and ensure the Item Donor is aware of and agrees to the terms of this User Agreement. Donated Items may not take the form of cash. The Seller may then determine which of the potential Donated Items it wishes to accept from the Item Donors, and which of the potential Donated Items it wishes to reject. The Seller is not obligated to accept a potential Donated Item from an Item Donor.
4. If the Seller decides to accept a Donated Item from an Item Donor, then the terms of that arrangement between that Seller and that Item Donor are directly between that Seller and that Item Donor – AirAuctioneer is not involved, and plays no part, in the arrangement between the Seller and the Item Donor (including, but not limited to, the nature and terms of the arrangement and/or the Donated Items) or the subsequent arrangement between the Seller and the Buyer or the Seller and the Recipient. The Seller, the Item Donor, the Buyer and the Recipient are responsible for making their own enquiries about the other and the nature and conduct of the Charitable Auction.
5. Bidders make bids on a Charitable Auction at their own risk. When a Bidder makes a bid through a Charitable Auction, it is the Bidder’s responsibility to understand how the Bidder’s money will be used. AirAuctioneer is not responsible for any promises made or offered by the Seller. AirAuctioneer is under no obligation to review or verify the information that Sellers supply, nor do we represent or guarantee that the Charity Proceeds will be used in the manner promised by the Seller or in accordance with applicable laws.
6. Charity Proceeds will be paid from the Buyer’s bank account to the Stripe account of the Seller. The Seller is responsible for ensuring the Charity Proceeds are paid to the nominated Recipient.
Donations
1. A User (Donor) may make monetary donations (Donation) to a Recipient through a donation page, which is set up by a Seller on the Site (Donation Page). On the Donation Page, the Donor will have the ability to nominate a Donation amount, which can be paid through the Donor’s “Cart”.
2. By setting up a Donation Page, a Seller represents and warrants that they are authorised to receive Donations on behalf of the Recipient and that all Donations will be paid to the Recipient. AirAuctioneer is not involved, and plays no part, in the arrangement between the Seller and the Recipient or the arrangement between the Seller and the Donor. In providing the Services, AirAuctioneer relies on the representation and warranty in this clause.
3. A Donation will be paid from the Donor’s bank account to the Stripe account of the Seller. The Seller is responsible for ensuring the Donation is paid to the nominated Recipient.
4. All Donations are made at the Donor’s risk. When a Donor makes a Donation, it is the Donor’s responsibility to understand how the Donation will be used. AirAuctioneer is not responsible for any promises made or offered by the Seller or the Recipient (or on behalf of the Recipient). AirAuctioneer is under no obligation to review or verify the information that a Donor, Seller or Recipient supplies, nor do we represent, warrant or guarantee that the Donation will be used in accordance with any particular purpose or any applicable laws.
Recipients, Donations and Charity Proceeds
1. AirAuctioneer does not recommend, review or endorse any Recipient.
2. AirAuctioneer is not responsible for, and does not make any warranties, representations or guarantees as to the conduct of, or information or other material provided by, a Seller, an Item Donor, a Donor or a Recipient, or whether any portion of the Charity Proceeds or any Donations is tax deductible or eligible for tax credits.
3. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Indemnified Parties are released from all Claims of every kind and nature, arising out of or in any way connected with a Charitable Auction or a Donation. For the avoidance of doubt, this release extends to the use and direction of funds by the Seller, as well as compliance with all laws.
4. Item Donors, Donors and other Users acknowledge and agree that Donated Items and Donations are non-refundable.
5. The Seller, Buyer and the Donor each acknowledge that the Recipient may request information (including personal information) from them to comply with the Recipient’s regulatory requirements and compliance processes, and to otherwise process the Charity Proceeds or Donation. By bidding in a Charitable Auction, or making a Donation, the Buyer or the Donor (as the case may be) agrees to provide such information to the Recipient, and acknowledges that they may be required to comply with the policies of the Recipient however AirAuctioneer has no liability or responsibility for the policies or other actions of the Recipient. Any such information which comes into the possession of AirAuctioneer will be subject to AirAuctioneer’s Privacy Policy.

If a Bidder does not meet the Seller’s criteria, then that Bidder may be blocked from participating in the auction and any bid placed by that Bidder will be disregarded and cancelled.
Your obligations as a Bidder or Buyer
1. Subject to the Seller’s Terms and this User Agreement, Buyers are obligated to purchase an Item from the Seller (and complete all ancillary arrangements to that transaction, and in whatever capacity) if the Buyer is the highest bidder at the end of an auction unless that transaction is prohibited by law.
2. Unless otherwise specified in the Seller’s Terms, a Buyer must arrange for payment of an Item within one business day of the Buyer being notified that it has made the winning bid for that Item. Payment may be made by any lawful mechanism which is acceptable to the Seller or as otherwise set out in the Seller’s Terms.
3. If a Buyer fails to complete a transaction for any reason, then the Seller may cancel the Buyer’s winning bid and either offer the Item the subject of the winning bid to the second-highest Bidder or re-list the Item the subject of the winning bid for auction.
4. Subject to the Seller’s Terms and this User Agreement, Buyers must arrange payment for the Item with the Seller directly.
5. By bidding on an Item, a Buyer agrees to be bound by the Seller’s Terms. The Seller can delete a bid if the Buyer doesn’t comply with the Seller’s Terms.
6. Bids are not retractable, except in the circumstances described in clause 15(g) of this User Agreement.
7. In accordance with clause 16(n) of this User Agreement, Sellers may upload additional images for an Item and provide updates to the description of an Item after the first bid has been made on that Item by a Bidder. In such circumstances, Bidders have the right to retract any or all of their bids on that Item that were made prior to such a modification.
Your obligations as a Seller
1. Sellers agree to describe all Items and terms of sale on the listing page of their auction accurately and truthfully. The Seller is responsible for the accuracy and content of the listing and the Item offered.
2. None of the Indemnified Parties are liable whatsoever for any Claims however caused to any User arising from the Seller’s Terms. The Seller represents and warrants to AirAuctioneer that all Seller’s Terms comply with all laws. The Seller acknowledges that AirAuctioneer relies on this representation and warranty and agrees that if AirAuctioneer has cause to believe the representation and warranty is untrue or misleading, then AirAuctioneer may, at its sole discretion, limit, suspend or terminate the User’s account.
3. The Seller indemnifies each of the Indemnified Parties in relation to any and all Claims incurred by an Indemnified Party, arising from the Seller’s Terms.
4. In the event of an inconsistency between the Seller’s Terms and this User Agreement, the terms of this User Agreement will prevail.
5. Sellers agree that listings may only include text descriptions, graphics, pictures, and any other content relevant to the sale of that Item only.
6. Subject to the Seller’s Terms and this User Agreement, should the Site register one or more bids on an Item, the Seller is obligated to complete the transaction with the highest bidder on the auction’s completion.
7. Subject to the Seller’s Terms and this User Agreement, should the Seller make available a Buy Now Option on an Item, the Seller is obligated to complete the transaction when a Buyer exercises the Buy Now Option.
8. Where the Seller runs a Simple Auction, subject to the Seller’s Terms and this User Agreement, the Seller is obligated to compete the transaction with the Buyer on the auction’s completion.
9. Where the Seller runs a Two-Phase Auction, subject to the Seller’s Terms and this User Agreement, where the highest bid was made during Phase One, the Seller is obligated to complete the transaction with the Buyer on the auction’s completion, being the end of Phase Two.
10. Should the Seller conduct a Two-Phase Auction using the Site’s services to conduct Phase One, the Seller undertakes to inform all Users of this fact by stating in the auction description the following information:
  1. that the Seller intends to conduct a Two-Phase Auction;
  2. the date, time and location of Phase Two;
  3. that the conclusion of Phase One is not the end of the auction, but rather the highest bidder at the conclusion of Phase One automatically becomes the starting bid of Phase Two; and
  4. that the highest bid will be determined at the end of Phase Two.
11. Sellers warrant, covenant and agree that they shall not manipulate the price of an Item operated by the Seller including by way of using a secondary account, an alias or third party to bid for the Item.
12. Sellers warrant, covenant and agree not to engage in bid siphoning by way of email or contact by any other means with a Bidder in an auction being run by a different Seller on the Site offering the same or similar Items at any price level.
13. Subject to clauses 16(n) and 17(d), Sellers agree and undertake not to make any material modifications or changes to any Item that has been listed once the first bid has been made on that Item by a Bidder.
14. Sellers may upload additional images for an Item and provide updates to the description of an Item after the first bid has been made on that Item by a Bidder. In accordance with clause 15(g) of this User Agreement, Bidders have the right to retract any or all of their bids on that Item that were made prior to the time of such a modification. Sellers agree to delete any bids so retracted from the Item.

For the purposes of those agreements, AirAuctioneer acts as the “Connect Platform” and the services described in clause 6 of this User Agreement are the “Platform Services”.
Auctions
1. Two forms of auction may be conducted on the Site: Simple Auctions, Two-Phase Auctions.
2. In relation to Simple Auctions, Bidders, Buyers and Sellers acknowledge and agree that the highest bid is determined at the conclusion of the Simple Auction and subject to the Seller’s Terms and this User Agreement, the Buyer will be the Bidder with the highest bid. No contract of sale is formed between the Buyer and the Seller until the conclusion of the Simple Auction.
3. In relation to Two-Phase Auctions, Bidders, Buyers and Sellers acknowledge and agree that in a Two-Phase Auction:
  1. No contract of sale is formed between the Buyer and the Seller until the conclusion of Phase Two.
  2. AirAuctioneer is in no way involved in Phase Two, and has no control over where or how Phase Two is conducted by the Seller. Phase 2 is not conducted on the Site.
  3. The conduct of Phase Two (including the location of the live event during Phase Two, if applicable) is determined at the sole discretion, and is the sole responsibility, of the Seller.
4. Online auction process
  1. An auction conducted on the Site will start at the time specified by the Seller and will close at the end of the time period specified for that auction by the Seller (End Time). If the Seller so chooses, it can nominate for automatic extensions to apply whereby:
    1. Where there are no new bids for a particular Item during a period of time set by the Seller immediately preceding the End Time (Refresh Period), then the auction will conclude at the End Time and no extensions will be granted.
    2. If there are any further bids on a particular Item within the Refresh Period, the auction will be extended for the period nominated by the Seller. The Seller may choose to permit a set amount of extensions, or continue to extend the auction until there are no more further bids within the Refresh Period.
    3. Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Refresh Period may vary from time to time. We accept no responsibility for any circumstances or incidents arising as a result of any slight variations that may occur in the Refresh Period.
  2. A Seller may vary the End Time:
    1. before the first Bid is placed, at any time; and
    2. after the first Bid is placed, provided that variation is not made within two hours of the previously determined End Time. The Seller will notify such variation of the End Time on the Item’s page.
  3. A Seller may withdraw an Item from an auction (or disable an Item so that bidding is suspended):
    1. at any time prior to the End Time; or
    2. prior to the Buy Now Option being exercised by a Bidder or Buyer,
    provided the withdrawal is notified by the Seller on the Item’s page.
  4. The Seller may choose to make an Item subject to a confidential minimum valuation specified by a Seller below which it is not obligated to sell an Item (Reserve). If bidding does not reach an Item’s Reserve at the close of an auction, the Seller may, at its sole discretion:
    1. sell the Item to the highest bidder at his or her highest bid amount, even though the bid amount is below the applicable Reserve;
    2. refuse to sell the Item; or
    3. take any other action in relation to the Item deemed reasonable by the Seller.
  5. AirAuctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any Item from the Site at any time without notice and in our sole discretion (which shall be exercised reasonably, having regard to the circumstances), if a Seller has breached the User Agreement, we are unable to verify or authenticate any information provided to us by the Seller, we believe that the Seller’s actions may cause loss or damage to or otherwise unlawfully harm or otherwise harm the reputation of the Seller, our Users, third parties or us, our related bodies corporate or affiliates, our directors, employees or agents, if we reasonably believe that any of the Seller’s information (which includes an Item listed on the Site) is inappropriate or of an offensive nature, or if AirAuctioneer otherwise reasonably determines that the Item should not be listed on the Site.
  6. In any auction, the Seller may give Bidders the choice between “Standard” bidding and “Proxy” bidding for an auction. With Standard bidding, the Bidder who submits the highest bid will, subject to the Seller’s Terms and this User Agreement, be the Buyer and the price of the Item will be the price of that highest bid. With Proxy bidding, a Bidder may submit a bid that represents the highest price which they are willing to pay for the Item (Maximum Bid). If a Bidder chooses to submit a Maximum Bid, the Site will automatically bid by proxy, bidding (against the other Bidders) as favourably as possible on the Bidder’s behalf up to their Maximum Bid. The winning proxy bid may therefore be lower than the winner’s Maximum Bid. If an Item has an unmet Reserve when a Bidder submits a Maximum Bid, the Site will place a proxy bid for that Bidder at the lower of the Reserve and the Maximum Bid.
  7. All bids placed are binding for the Bidder. After the auction has ended, subject to the Seller’s Terms and this User Agreement, the winning Bidder having submitted the highest bid will have entered into a binding agreement with the Seller. A Bidder who chooses Proxy bidding but decides to place a bid higher than their Maximum Bid after proxy bidding commences may do so.
  8. If an auction ends with two equally high bids, the first bid that was submitted to the Site will win.
  9. Notwithstanding any other clause in this User Agreement, a Seller may, as part of its Seller’s Terms, specify Seller’s Charges which will apply in addition to the final price at an auction. If the Seller intends to impose any Seller’s Charges, then that Seller must expressly state the Seller’s Charges, as well as any terms and conditions regarding the Seller’s Charges, in the Seller’s Terms.
