By placing a bid on an item(s) listed on the Site, you are stating that you have the ability and intention to purchase the item for the amount of your bid, should the auction end and you are the winning bidder, you agree to purchase the item(s) for the amount of your winning bid.
Before placing a bid in an auction, you should be certain you understand all terms and conditions of the sale as indicated by the seller. Placing a bid is considered a legal, binding contract in most states. If you have any questions about an item, you should ask before placing your bid.
How the Site Works
With each Bid Token placed the price of the item on which you are bidding increases by the amount specified. Each new Bid Token adds time to the auction in an amount equal to the displayed time increment. The auction ends when the auction clock reaches zero. The final bidder is declared the winner. Disputes over auction winners will be decided based on the records maintained by the Site. Decisions made by the Site in these instances shall be final and binding. Auctions may offer the “Buy It Now” option. “Buy It Now” will allow you to buy the item bid upon for a price equal to the Site retail price less the value of any Bid Tokens used by you during the auction.
Winning the Auction/Payment for “BUY NOW”
After an auction has ended, the successful bidder will be presented with a Site page that will allow for the auction win to be confirmed, and payment and shipping information to be entered. Auction winners will have 7 days to submit the information on this page and make the payment due. After this 7 day period has elapsed, the ability to claim the item won at auction will be revoked. Similarly, users who choose to “Buy Now” will be presented with a website page that will allow the user to confirm the desire to “Buy Now”, enter payment and shipping information and checkout. Users have up to 6 hours after the close of an auction to use the “Buy Now” feature. There are only a certain amount of wins that are allowed per account per 28 days. If you bid on more than this number of auctions and your limit is met, we will not refund you. There is also only a certain amount of wins that are allowed per day. And Only only a certain amount of wins that are allowed per week. You will be able to see what these limits are at the login box in the upper right hand corner of the main auction site. Bid4hunting.com reserves the right to change these limits at anytime.
Returns
You have the right to return items purchased following a winning auction or “Buy Now” purchase. Users have 14 days after delivery to return an item. You are responsible for shipping costs on returned items and items returned must be in good condition. Certain items, such as software, music, or movies are not eligible for return once they are opened. Requests for returns or cancellations must be made in writing via our “Contact Us” form here or to the following address:

If, for any reason, you are unable to return the item in good, working condition, the Site will retain the right to accept the returned item and reduce the amount of your refund in a proportion equal to the damage on the item (as determined by the Site in its sole discretion). In no case will the return of an item entitle you to a refund of the Bid Cards used to win or purchase the item.
Shipping/Handling
Shipping/Handling costs will be clearly displayed for each item. The successful bidder or user choosing the “Buy Now” option will be responsible for the full shipping costs as displayed.
