  8. HOW AUCTIONS WITH Dollar Bid Club WORK
    1. Auctions on Our Website follow a very simple structure and in order to provide You with the knowledge required to apply skill and judgement in the Auctions, We provide You with the following data for each and every Auction on Our Website:
      1. The Item "RRP“ this information is provided to the best of Our knowledge and is usually provided by the manufacturer or partner/seller of each Item. We cannot guarantee that the RRP is correct but will always use Our best endeavors to ensure that the RRP is as accurate as possible.
      2. The Total Room Fee Price “ this is the amount it will cost You, in Canadian Currency, to join an auction room. The Room Price varies between each of the Auctions, so check this amount prior to joining the room to ensure that You are comfortable with the Room Entry Price.
      3. The “Total Bid Price” this is the amount it will cost You, in Canadian Currency, if you are the winning bidder. The Total Bid Price is an incremental value generated from all the members placing their bids within the 20 minute auction period.
    2. The "Lowest Unique Bid" is deemed to be a Bid that is the lowest valued Bid placed for a specific amount within a specific Auction. If a further Bid is placed by another User/member for the exact same amount, then both Bids are deemed to be no longer Unique (they both become Non-Unique Bids).
    3. In case of a tie the first person to bid the Lowest Unique Bid will be declared the winner.
    4. For an Auction to close the time must run out and at least 1 bid has been placed. An Auction is initially created by Us with a defined, item for sale, alloted time value for auction, set value for number of members whom can join, and a room value is set.
    5. Upon completion of an Auction, the Winning User will receive confirmation of their Win by email and or text. Refer to section 9 for full details of the checking procedure for Auction Winners. The auction will then reveal all of the Bid amounts placed in the Auction in an anonymous format so that Users will be able to see how their Bids performed and learn from the patterns within the Auction for next time, these will remain available until we decide to remove the closed auction.
    6. We reserve the right to:
      1. Suspend or terminate an Auction at any time in the event of technical problems or to investigate suspected irregular or fraudulent activity;
      2. In cases of an auction being Suspended or terminated all room fees will be refunded to all members whom joined the auction;
      3. Change the item of an auction if we feel our users do not have sufficent interest in the product.
      4. Replace the item with something of equal or greater value however and therefor all bids made so far will stand.
      5. In cases where an auction item has been replaced the winning bidder will have the right to refuse the item and the next winning bidder will have an option to purchase the item at the winning bid value.
      6. Remove an auction if we feel it does not benefit our users and has not had sufficent interest. In this case all room fees will be recredited to the users/members accounts who joined the room.
    7. Further information about how the Auctions work in a simpler guide can be found in the How It WorksA sections of Our Website.
    8. For the avoidance of doubt, any advice or help articles appearing on Our Website are intended solely as suggestions for techniques and should not be construed as providing a solution to Winning any specific Auction.

    9. The winner will pay Dollar Bid Club their winning bid.

    1. It is a condition precedent to formation of a Contract between the Winning User and Us that the telephone number or email held by Us at the time of Winning the Auction is valid and that the User can be reached by calling it or email them. In the event that the telephone number or email is not correct, the Contract cannot be formed and the Win will be forfeited.
    2. Upon completion of an Auction, the Winner will be required to confirm their email address or registered telephone number by receiving a text from Us. We will attempt to email or call or text the Winner’s registered telephone number within 2 working days of the Auction ending and may request that the User confirms some details from their Account in order to verify the User. We will require this information in order to fly the member to where the item was sold. In the event that the telephone number on file has voicemail, We will leave a message requesting that the User returns Our call to verify their Account. Alternatively, the Winner may call or email Us to request a call back. In any event, the only acceptable methods of verification is for Us to email or call and/or text You on the telephone number or email that You have provided as part of Your User Account details.
    3. The Winner will have 14 days to confirm to Dollar Bid Club their information, if the Winner does not confirm within this time period Dollar Bid Club will presume the User does not want the prize and it will be forfeited by the User.

Specific details are available by contacting Us.

Tracking is provided purely in accordance with the courier’s own Terms and Conditions which may be found on the courier’s Website.

    5. Any dispatch or delivery times quoted are estimates only and We cannot guarantee any exact dates or delivery timescales in any way. You agree that any delays to delivery imposed upon Us by Our couriers or the like are out of Our control, and that such delays would be acceptable to You.

For Items which store data, it is Your responsibility to backup Your own data prior to the Item being returned; any repaired or replacement Item will be returned to You without any of Your personal data or files installed on same.
