TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Silent Auction: June 22, 2025, at 12pm-June 25, 2025 (please look to individual items to confirm opening and closing times) www.cancouncil.cbo.io General Information: 1. Please read the following terms and conditions carefully as they are a legal binding contract between you (the Bidder) and The CAN Council (the Seller). To register and bid in this auction you must agree to these terms and are bound by them as a bidder.
2. All items are sold AS IS, WHERE IS, with NO WARRANTY expressed or implied. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine the condition of the items and bid accordingly. Place your bids accordingly and read all descriptions and Terms prior to placing your bids. No refunds will be issued.
3. Items may appear to be grouped in a photo. Do not assume a lot consists of more than one item simply because they are connected or pictured together. Please inspect the written information and read the descriptions carefully. You are bidding on the described item not the photograph, occasionally the wrong photo may be displayed. Contact Jeremy Scharlow at jscharlow@cancouncil.org, if you are unclear as to what is included in a lot.
4. Once you place and confirm a bid through our bidding platform, you cannot remove or lower a bid. No bids will be removed once they have been placed.
5. Due diligence is the responsibility of you (the Bidder). All sales are final. When the bidding ends on our website and you are the high bidder, you then assume complete responsibility for care of each purchase at time of sale.
6. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone bidding, buying, selling and/or at pick up.
7. The most recent correspondence with buyers via email or our website take precedence over written material and any prior verbal statements.
8. The seller is not responsible for any accidents, thefts, errors or omissions.
9. The seller reserves the right to add or remove items from the auction; split or combine lots; add minimum bids or reserve prices. The seller reserves the right to cancel, suspend, extend or reschedule an individual item and or auction event or to make changes to the auction closing times or inspection or removal times.
Bidding Profile: 1. When you register to bid on cancouncil.cbo.io, you must create a bidding profile. This profile contains your personal information. It is your responsibility to ensure that all the information is VALID and CURRENT. We rely on that information to contact you and process payment. Address, Phone, Billing, Credit Card, and Email information are particularly important. If you need help logging in or resetting information in your profile, contact CAN Council.
Auction Closing: 1. The closing time of the auction will be listed on the ClickBid site. Once bidding closes, items you have won become your responsibility – be aware of closing times!
2. This auction will offer MAXIMUM BIDDING. This means that you can bid a higher number than the next “Asking Bid”. You can place a max bid at any time in the bid space by simply entering the highest number you want to bid. When you place a MAX BID, the current bid price will only go to the next increment, or one increment over someone else’s max bid if one has been placed. The computer will bid for you in the pre-determined auction increments up to your highest dollar entered only if someone else bids against you to raise your bid to that dollar amount. When someone has already entered a MAX BID on an item you are bidding on, the system will automatically bid for you until you are the current high Bidder or you reach your MAX BID. If you have reached your MAX BID and are still not the current high Bidder, the system will give you the opportunity to enter another MAX BID.
3. Bids will be placed in the order that they are received. If TWO buyers enter a MAX BID of the same dollar amount, the buyer who entered his/her MAX BID FIRST will be the bidder that is in at that price. If you bid a certain amount and see that the bid is indeed that amount, but you are not the 'Winning Bidder', that means that someone else had a max bid of that amount and their bid was placed into the system ahead of yours. The best way to know if you are outbid is to check your email or text messages as you should get an email and/or text message every time you are outbid.
4. You may request outbid notices when registering for your online bidding account. You can choose to have them sent to your email, cell phone via text message or both. If you are not able to be around a computer/mobile device during the closing of the auction or receive and/or read your outbid notices, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND you utilize the max-bidding feature. Please remember, you can always raise your max bid, but you CANNOT lower it.
5. The Seller is not responsible for internet malfunctions, loss of connection or system glitches that may prevent you from placing last-minute bids or receiving notices from the Seller. Don’t wait until the last minute to bid; if the system is busy, your bids may not process within the last seconds of an auction closing.
Payment & Pick up of Purchases: 1. Payment for all purchases is due immediately at the conclusion of the auction unless specifically outlined otherwise.
