Online Auction Terms and Conditions

1.  AUCTION BIDDER AGREEMENT.  This is a legal agreement between you and ezDownsizing.com. You must be at least 18 years old to register and bid. ezDownsizing.com at its sole discretion, may ban from further use any buyer ezDownsizing.com believes to have failed in abiding to the terms and conditions, or conducted any improper behavior as determined solely by ezDownsizing.com.

2. REGISTRATION.  All Bidders are required to register online and provide necessary and accurate information such as name, address, phone numbers, email address, credit card information and any other information requested for positive identification. By registering you are agreeing you have read and fully understand the 'Online Auction Terms and Conditions', and any additional terms and conditions or announcements for specific auctions (locations, dates, buyer’s premiums, pick-up instructions, etc. ) on the website, and agree to be bound by the same. All sales are final. No refunds, reductions, returns or exchanges! NO EXCEPTIONS! ezDownsizing.com reserves the right to refuse any individual from bidding at any online auction and to revoke such privilege at any time.

3. BIDDING. Do not bid unless you agree to ALL of the terms and conditions posted herein. By bidding you are agreeing you have read and fully understand the 'Online Auction Terms and Conditions', and any additional terms and conditions or announcements for specific auctions (locations, dates, buyer’s premiums, pick-up instructions, etc. ) on the website, and agree to be bound by the same.  A successful winning bid at auction constitutes a legally binding contract of sale. All sales are final. Bidding increments are established and controlled by the ezDownsizing.com.

4. BUYER’S PREMIUM. A Buyer’s Premium (typically 15%) will be added to ALL purchases unless otherwise stated. A Buyer’s Premium is a predetermined percentage added to the high bid price, which results in the contract sales price. The Buyer’s Premium may vary depending on the auction. ezDownsizing.com may change the Buyer’s Premium at any time to meet the needs of the Seller and which shall coincide with the current auction listing agreement.

5. AUCTION PREVIEW.  Auction events typically include a specified time to inspect items prior to the scheduled close time. If provided, Buyers may come to the auction location to inspect and test items they may be interested in purchasing. Buyers unable to participate in the preview are encouraged to call during preview hours and speak to attending staff about specific items. Buyers who do not attend preview are relying solely on the descriptions and photographs provided by ezDownsizing.com and agree their bid amount is based on the available information. Buyer fully agrees and understands they are purchasing each and every item and lot in ‘as is’ and ‘untested’ condition. ezDownsizing.com, their licensees, contractors, employees and agents, make no representations of condition, guarantees or warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, statutory or otherwise of any nature whatsoever.

6. AUCTION CLOSING TIMES. Auction closing times are posted for each auction, which at such time the auction will BEGIN to close. Auction lots will close in sequence apart from lots continuing to receive bidding activity will remain open and active until such a time that bidding activity has ceased, much like a live auction. ezDownsizing.com strongly recommends using the proxy bid feature and bidding early to avoid losing out due to unforeseen technical difficulties. All times are based on the Eastern Standard Time Zone unless stated otherwise.

7. SOFT CLOSE/AUTO EXTEND FEATURE. Please note when bidding, there is an auto-extend feature on this online auction system. If someone bids in the last 2 minutes of a scheduled ending time for a specific lot, the closing time for that particular lot will be automatically extended for a given increment (typically two minutes) until such a time bidding activity ceases. This feature will leave the bidding open for any item that has received a bid within the last 2 minutes from the last recorded bid time, even if the initially scheduled ending time has been reached. This provides bidders who wish to continuing placing bids after they’ve been outbid an opportunity to do so, and makes the bidding experience more like a live auction. Keep in mind that seconds are not recorded with bid entries.

8. PAYMENT. Payment will be made immediately following completion of the auction by your credit card on file unless stated otherwise. No items will be removed prior to ezDownsizing.com receiving payment for the item(s). Please ensure your credit card on file is up to date and that debit cards have sufficient funds available to cover purchases. It is the bidder’s responsibility to immediately contact ezDownsizing.com and make arrangements for payment for failed credit/debit card transaction failures.  Payment by other than credit card (cash or check) must be coordinated with and approved by ezDownsizing.com. Buyers agree to not 'stop payment' on any credit cards and/or checks.

9. TOTAL INVOICE PRICE. The total price reflected on your invoice and the amount for which your credit card will be charged is the sum of the bid price, the Buyer’s Premium, and applicable sales tax. ezDownsizing.com reserves the right to charge the total amount or any remaining balance of your purchase price on your credit card if the balance is not otherwise paid. We do not accept partial payments. Invoices must be paid in full prior to pick up.

10. SALES TAX.  All applicable sales tax, according to the governing tax laws in the state where the auction is being held, will be added to the purchase price on all taxable items or lots unless the Buyer files a properly completed tax exempt form with our auction office prior to the start of the auction closing.
