Auction Rules 1. Live, Big Board, Silent, Baubles, and Grab Bag Auctions will be held at Marriott Marquis beginning at 6:30 p.m. on March 25, 2017. 2. Pre-registered guests must check in upon arrival and obtain their personalized event program which includes the bidder’s name and bidder number. 3. Previously unregistered guests must check in upon arrival to be entered into the auction database and be assigned a bidder number. 4. Couples will, in general, be assigned a joint bidder number. 5. A bidder’s assigned number is unique and will serve as identification throughout the auction proceedings. 6. Your bid, oral or written, constitutes a “contract to buy.” Please remember this during bidding, and be sure to use the bidder number assigned to you during check-in. 7. All sales are final. Auction items, except where specified, are not exchangeable, refundable or transferable. Everything is sold “as is.” Please read the specifications and restrictions carefully. The descriptions are as accurate as possible and the Extravaganza Committee (“Committee”) and Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart (“Duchesne”) are neither responsible nor liable for any discrepancies that may occur. 8. Unless otherwise specified, all auction items and services must be redeemed within one (1) year of event. 9. Reservations for the use of homes, boats, tickets, etc., must be mutually arranged with the donor by the successful bidder, unless otherwise specified. Arrangements should be made as soon as possible after the auction to have the best chance of securing dates and times desired by the buyer. No minor children are to use auction travel and home purchase without an adult chaperone at all times. 10. The Committee reserves the right to remove an item from the auction at any time. 11. At check-in, each bidder will have the option of having their credit card scanned. We will accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express at the event. NOTE (1) No credit card charges will be posted during the event. Therefore, a guest with a pre-scanned credit card who chooses to pay by cash or check can be easily accommodated; (2) All credit card information will be erased from the computers the week after the event. 12. Invoices will be emailed to bidders shortly after the close of the event. Items can be picked up after purchase is confirmed. 13. The invoice will contain a fair market value assessment, as well as the price paid. Fair market values are generally assigned by the donor or an Extravaganza volunteer, and as such, cannot be warranted by Duchesne. It is the sole responsibility of the winner to handle all tax deduction issues in the proper manner, consulting a tax advisor, if needed. 14. By his/her purchase, the buyer waives any claims for liabilities against Duchesne or the donor. Neither Duchesne nor the donor is responsible for any personal injury or damage to property that may result from the use of an item or service sold. 15. In the event of a dispute, the Extravaganza Chair, in conjunction with Duchesne staff, will determine the winning bidder. This decision will be final. 66
