KEEP YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION UPDATED
We sometimes need to contact you regarding your bidding activity, so it is important that you keep your account information accurate and updated on the Account Info page.
YOU MUST EDUCATE YOURSELF ON THE AUCTION PROCESS
Before you place a bid, we advise you to educate yourself on the auction process and our services. If you have any questions, please call 360-647-5370 or email Info@BellinghamAuction.com.
YOU MUST DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH
We offer you the opportunity to get some great deals on vehicles but you must do your own research to make sure you get the right vehicle for you. You are encouraged to take advantage of our in-person preview times to inspect the vehicle and do your own research on the vehicle before placing a bid.
Although each auction listing includes certain vehicle information, we provide no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the accuracy or completeness of the vehicle information. You are responsible for verifying all vehicle information to your satisfaction.
We make every effort to disclose branded titles but you are responsible for obtaining vehicle/title history reports. Vehicles cannot be returned for any reason, including non-disclosed branded titles.
WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
All items are being sold "As Is, Where Is", with all faults and without any warranties.
Bidder acknowledges, understands and agrees that the seller makes no warranty whatsoever, expressed or implied regarding the quality, characteristics, performance or condition of the vehicle.
The price of the vehicle is negotiated by online auction bidding with no warranty.
Bidder will pay for any and all costs of repairs upon taking possession of vehicle.
ADVERTISING DISCLAIMER
Although every precaution has been taken to ensure accuracy, the principal, the Bellingham Public Auto Auction, LLC, the advertising coordinator and all their agents shall not be responsible for any errors or omissions therein. Any misrepresentation is not deliberate and therefore the Bellingham Public Auto Auction, LLC is not responsible. For example - vehicle is erroneously advertised as having a 4 cylinder engine but actually has a 6 cylinder engine. It is for this reason that we strongly recommend all vehicles be thoroughly inspected and researched by bidder prior bidding.
YOU CANNOT RETRACT, DELETE OR CANCEL YOUR BID FOR ANY REASON
Once you submit a bid, this cannot be undone. All bids placed are final and non-retractable. You should carefully review the amount of your bid and max bid before submission.
YOU MUST PAY FOR ANY AND ALL VEHICLES YOU WIN
Failure to pay for an item is considered fraud and legal action may be taken against you.
When placing a bid, you are entering a binding contract to purchase the vehicle, deliver payment and take possession of the vehicle within the specified time period.
Do not bid on a vehicle, or multiple vehicles, if you cannot pay for ALL OF THEM.
All vehicles must be paid in full before any can be removed from the auction site.
BIDDING/PURCHASING MULTIPLE VEHICLES?
We request you do not bid on multiple vehicles at the same time without confirming you understand you are required to purchase all vehicles you are the winning bidder on. Prior to bidding, contact our office at 360-647-5370 or Info@BellinghamAuction.com. Failure to do so may result in your bids being put in Pending Status.

MAX BIDS:
When you place a max bid, HiBid's bidding technology will automatically place bids on your behalf, using the smallest increment necessary to ensure you remain the high bidder until your max bid is met.
TIE BIDS:
If you place a bid and receive an email with the word Outbid in the subject line, it means another bidder has placed the same bid before you, or a max bid that is higher than yours, therefore you are not the high bidder.
