The following system will be used to manage the Live
and Silent Auction bidding and invoicing. The procedures differ from what you
may have experienced during previous auctions - please read the description
below.
- · All bidding for the Silent Auction
will begin at 6:00 p.m. and conclude at 7:30 p.m.
- · All bidding for the Live Auction will begin
at approximately 8:00 p.m. and conclude at 8:30 p.m.
- · Absentee bidding will be allowed for the
Silent Auction. An absentee bidding form can be found on-line one week before
the event. The Absentee Bidding Form must be returned to Five Acres no later
than 12:00 noon PT on Friday, June 23, 2006
- · Persons bidding must include their name,
table number, telephone number and bid amount on the bid sheet. Incorrect bid
raises will be changed by the Auction Officials. Bids will be honored only if
incremental bidding is in accordance with the minimum increases. Bids below the
opening minimum bids will be changed to the proper increase
- · A bidder wishing to place a bid that exceeds
the highest one printed on the bid sheet should request a new bid sheet from an
auction official
- · For the Live Auction, when the Auctioneer
verbalizes “SOLD” for a Live Auction item, title for that item will pass to the
highest bidder
- · Acceptance of a winning bid for a Silent or
Live Auction item by the Auction Committee and the Auctioneer will constitute a
legally binding contract between Five Acres and the winning bidder
- · The Auction Committee and the Auctioneer
reserve the right to reject any and all bids and to remove any items from the
Silent and Live Auctions prior to sale
- · Invoices will be prepared shortly after the
closing of the Silent Auction. Winners will be notified at their tables during
the evening, following the Live Auction
- · Items purchased must be removed the evening
of the event
- · While every effort has been made to describe
each item correctly, all items and services are sold “as is”
- · All auction items and services must be used
within the time limits specifically stated in the catalog and are subject to the
terms and conditions stipulated by the donors. Please note that all
accommodations are subject to availability. Exact dates and detailed conditions
of stays in hotels must be arranged in advance by the purchaser with the donor,
keeping in mind that all black-out periods stated in the catalog and on
certificates will apply. All noted restrictions and expiration dates apply
- · Unless otherwise stated, restaurant
certificates do not include tax, gratuity or alcoholic beverages
- · By his or her purchase, the buyer waives any
claims for liabilities against Five Acres or the donor of the respective item or
service. Neither Five Acres nor the donor is responsible for any personal
injury or damage to property that may result from the use of the item or service
sold
