PARTICIPATION: To participate, bidders are required to register and create a user name and password. Registration requires agreement to these terms and conditions. Bidders must be eighteen years old or older to register and agree to accept all activity under their account. Registered participants will receive auction notifications via email.

ALSTON BID uses the information about Bidders and Owners/Sellers for the purposes of conducting online auctions only. We do not, and will not, sell or rent this information. Our Privacy Policy is posted on our Website at www.alstonbid.com. IDENTIFICATION: At the time of registration, we collect basic information about you to verify your identity, and collect credit card information to ensure that you are a serious buyer. All information provided to ALSTON BID must be current, complete, and accurate. Bidders may be banned from participation in ALSTON BID indefinitely for providing false information. PAYMENT: Registration is Free. Credit Card Validation: Please note that your credit card will be pre-authorized for $1 to ensure that your card is valid. This is a standard in/out credit card validation process and is NOT a charge. Payment will be processed on your credit card only if you are the winning bidder and only once an auction closes. Charges will include 1) your final and winning bid price, 2) a buyer's premium (15% of the final bid price) and 3) applicable sales tax. Calculation is as follows: Final Bid price + Buyer's Premium = Subtotal + HST = Total CONDITIONS OF ARTICLES SOLD: All items are sold "AS IS, WHERE IS." Please inspect items for yourself during our preview times or via photos. We do not guarantee the safety or regulatory compliance of any items, which may include infant and child products. CLAIMS: We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of the Seller. No claims (e.g., an item was mislabelled) will be allowed after removal of items from the premises. PURCHASING: All items listed in the auction are subject to ALSTON BID's acceptance or rejection of the highest bid. If for any reason ALSTON BID is unable to complete the sale of any purchase to bidder or provide such purchase free and clear of liens, even if the bidder was given notice that he is the winning bidder and purchaser, bidder agrees that ALSTON BID may terminate the purchase/agreement, in which case ALSTON BID'S only liability shall be the return of any monies actually paid by bidder toward that item. STAGGER and SOFT CLOSE: Items will stagger close every 30 seconds, in succession. To prevent a bidder from 'sniping', all bids made in the last minute of the auction will force an item to stay open for an additional 2 minutes [soft close]. This will continue until all bidding has ceased. NOTIFICATION: You can choose to be notified by email during the auction if you have been outbid. Please note that outbid notifications are NOT sent out DURING THE LAST TWO HOURS of the sale. INVOICING WINNERS: All payments will be in Canadian Funds. If a bidder places a bid determined to be the winning bid, the bidder is obligated to pay for the item(s) that they have won at the price they bid. The bidder will receive an invoice via email within 24 hours of the auction closing. This e-mail notification will be the only contact the bidder receives from ALSTON BID about winning bids. It is the bidder's responsibility to check their e-mail to determine what items they have won. PICKUP / REMOVAL / SHIPPING POLICY: Please note: WE DO NOT SHIP. PLEASE DO NOT BID if you are unable to have your items picked up at the published pickup date, time and place. Items not picked up will be considered abandoned and you will be charged for disposal with no refund. We DO NOT supply tools, packing material or assist with moving your purchases. PLEASE BRING HELP to move any large items. Note that you will be charged for damage to property caused directly by buyer. The full amount of such cost of repair will be charged to your credit card. RISK TO PERSON AND PROPERTY: BY REGISTERING AS A BUYER, YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGE TO THE ITEMS YOU PURCHASED, YOUR OTHER PERSONAL PROPERTY, OR FOR INJURY OR DEATH. Please take care of yourself and your items as you have released us from liability. ADDITION TO OR WITHDRAWAL FROM SALE: Although we try not to do so, we may add items to lots that are for sale, and remove lots or items that are for sale, at any time. RESERVE: You may have to pay a minimum amount in order to win an item where the Seller has stipulated same. RECORDS: In the unlikely event of a dispute, you agree to accept our records and information. STRATEGY: We recommend that ALL BIDDERS put in their maximum bid when placing a bid online. This does not mean you will have to pay the amount you bid - you only pay one bid increment more than the last highest bid - and only up to your maximum bid. The software system will play out the bids as you would at a live auction and only uses the funds required to beat out the under bidder at the prescribed bid increment. CATALOGUE ERRORS: If a description does not match a picture in a lot, the description takes precedence. Please review pictures or attend the preview to inspect the item for any damages to the item before bidding.
