BWP Auctions Terms and Conditions



AGREEMENT TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS: PLACING A BID SIGNIFIES THE BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES TO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS. If the buyer is unable to adhere to these Terms and Conditions, please DO NOT bid.



ALL SALES ARE FINAL: Checking item condition is the bidder’s responsibility. BWP Auctions makes every effort to describe items to the best of our knowledge, but cannot check every item. Major appliances are guaranteed for five business days, if stated on the lot. Otherwise, all items are sold AS-IS WHERE-IS with no guarantees expressed or implied. No returns or refunds will be issued for any reason. All sales are final.



PREVIEW: We encourage all bidders to inspect and test items in-person during open hours, Monday-Friday 9 AM - 5 PM, BEFORE bidding. If bidders are unable to view items during business hours, please contact us for details and condition of items. Once a bid is placed it cannot be retracted.



BUYER’S PREMIUM/SALES TAX/TAX-EXEMPT: All lots will incur a 15% buyer’s premium on the final bid price, plus local sales tax. If tax-exempt, provide a copy of your valid Iowa resale tax exemption certificate to BWP Auctions PRIOR to bidding. Tax exempt status must be verified and active to avoid sales tax charges.



PAYMENT: The credit/debit card on file is charged at the end of our auctions. If the card is declined, the buyer will be charged a $25 fee. Payment must be received no later than 5 PM two business days following the end of the auction, or items will be resold, and you may be banned from participating in future auctions.



PICKUP DAY/TIME: All purchased items must be picked up between 9 AM - 5 PM on the first business day following the auction. If you can not make it during this time please refrain from bidding. All items not picked up within two days following the auction will be forfeited back to the auction house without refund.



BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CHECKING ITEM COUNT BEFORE LEAVING PREMISES: The buyer must double check their item count before leaving our property. We will not make refunds due to shortages. BWP Auctions is not responsible for lost or damaged items. Please be patient and allow one of our staff members to assist you with gathering your items.



BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR LOADING ITEMS: BWP Auctions is not responsible for loading merchandise.



TRANSFERS: Items will not be transferred between BWP Sales locations.



SHIPPING: Shipping must be arranged within two days following the auction. If shipping is not arranged within this timeframe, items are forfeited without refund. Shipping is only available within the continental United States. There is a $6.00 handling charge for each package that is shipped. If you choose shipping, your card will be charged to cover the shipping and handling. If you change your mind about shipping, the handling fee will be charged to your card. If you do not approve and pay the shipping cost, you are responsible for picking up/transporting your purchased items. Please see Forfeit of Items without Refund.



FORFEIT OF ITEMS WITHOUT REFUND: All purchased items must be picked up or approved to ship no later than 5 PM two business days following the end of the auction, or items will be forfeited without refund, and you may be banned from participating in future auctions.



BIDDING: When bidding your max, the current bid does not automatically go to the max bid. Another bidder has to bid to increase the current price, and Maxanet will automatically bid up to your max in the increments specified. If two people bid the same max on an item, the first person to place the bid will have the high bid. BWP Auctions is not responsible for bids that do not go through. The best way to ensure your bid is accepted is to enter your max bid before the last few minutes. All lots have a soft-close, meaning any bid placed within the last 60 seconds will increase the time by 60 seconds to prevent sniping. There is no way to retract your bid, so please double-check your bid before submitting.



Maxanet SUMMARY OF WINNINGS: Buyers will receive an email at the end of the auction with a summary of items won and total including buyer’s premium and sales tax (sent to the email on file in Maxanet).



SYSTEM FAILURE: We reserve the right to cancel and/or reopen the auction in the case of system failures.



BANNING BUYERS: We reserve the right to reject/cancel/ban any bidders that we deem to be harmful to BWP Auctions or the experience of other bidders.
