OAS is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and your payments may be tax‑deductible as a charitable contribution to the extent allowed by law — generally 100% of cash donations to the Special Appeal, and the amount paid above fair market value for items or services. OAS’s Tax ID is 26‑0076749, and it is printed on all auction receipts.
- All purchases are final. No exchanges or refunds will be issued unless otherwise noted. Certificates, credits, or vouchers obtained at the auction are non‑transferable and cannot be redeemed for cash.
- Purchasers are responsible for removing all items from the venue at the end of the evening or arranging pickup from the OAS office no later than October 31, 2026.
- Reservations for trips or experiences must be arranged directly with the donor unless otherwise specified. No refunds will be issued for canceled travel, tickets, or accommodations.
- OAS has made every effort to accurately describe and catalog all items based on donor‑provided information. However, OAS does not warrant or represent the correctness of descriptions, provenance, or condition of any item.
- All bidders assume all risks and hazards related to the auction and items obtained through the auction. By participating, bidders agree to hold harmless OAS, its staff, the auctioneer, event organizers, contractors, sponsors, and volunteers from any liability arising from auction purchases.
