Woody Auction makes every attempt to describe items accurately and call any flaws that may affect the value of an item; final determination is left to the buyer. Common nicks & scratches are not called. All lots are sold AS IS. It is the responsibility of prospective bidders of in-person auctions to inspect the property (and/or request up to 10 condition reports before bidding) to determine condition, size, and repair/restoration status. Please email info@woodyauction.com for information (and photos, if desired). Emails should be received at least 48 hours in advance of the date of the auction. No returns will be accepted if damage was identified in the description.

Woody Auction must pre-authorize any returns so contact us immediately. Authorized returns must be postmarked no more than twenty-one (21) days (and received by 28 days) after the auction date. Items must be received by Woody Auction in the same condition as sold. Once the returned item is received, the sale is rescinded and only the hammer price refunded. No refund will be made for BP or any shipping costs incurred.

PAYMENTS
Invoices will be sent via email to LiveAuctioneers and Absentee Bidders. All invoices must be paid within ten (10) calendar days after the close of the auction unless other payment arrangements are made at least 48 hours in advance of the auction. Interest may be charged on balances unpaid after the tenth day. On day eleven (11), if no payment has been received, Woody Auction will enter a dispute on LiveAuctioneers and block the bidder from participating in future auction events. Once payment is received, the dispute will be resolved on LiveAuctioneers. If buyer fails to pay by 4:00pm CST on the twenty-seventh (27th) day post auction, buyer forfeits all lots and all unpaid items will be returned to seller. In the case of nonpayment, buyer acknowledges and agrees that he/she shall have no right, title, or interest in and to any property in which buyer was the highest bidder. If buyer pays the Items Invoice, but fails to pay the Shipping Invoice, buyer forfeits the items after 120 days of non-payment. Storage fees may be assessed to the buyer.

The prevailing sales tax will be charged to all buyers unless you are reselling the items. If so, please provide LiveAuctioneers and Woody Auction with a current sales tax exemption license. If a copy is not provided, sales tax will be charged. Sales tax will be collected on all invoices shipping to KS unless the auction is tax-exempt.

Buyers will receive a discount if payment is made by Wire Transfer, Check, or Cashier?s Check within 10 days. The bidder must contact Woody Auction by email (at info@woodyauction.com) immediately after the auction for the check total. If you pay by check without contacting us for a discounted amount, no refunds will be given for the overpayment. This discount will be forfeited if payment is received after the 10th day post-auction, or if the bidder has received permission prior to the auction to make partial payments. Shipping must be paid by credit card.

CHARGEBACKS ON CREDIT CARDS

If a dispute is filed, items will not be shipped until the dispute is resolved. Written confirmation of cancellation of the chargeback must be provided by the credit card company.

SHIPPING
It is the bidder?s responsibility to take shipping costs into consideration ? it is not included in the price of your auction items. We will ship the lot if size/weight allows. Woody Auction provides Shipping at the least possible cost to the buyer. Cost includes what we pay for materials and what the shipper charges us. Winning bidders are responsible for all costs to ship the items, including insurance for the value of the shipment. When payment for items is made, items will be packed in the order payment is received. When the purchase is ready to ship, a second invoice will be sent through LiveAuctioneers for shipping and materials. When the shipping invoice is paid, the box(es) are shipped immediately. Woody Auction will ship items to the buyer at the listed address. UPS or USPS will be used on all shipments (hammer price) unless requested by buyer. Buyer must request signature required. You are responsible for all additional shipping costs if your box is returned due to an incorrect shipping address or if UPS returns the box(es) for lack of response from buyer. Auctioneer must be informed if buyer is shipping to a UPS Store or Service Center.

Woody Auction can ship to international buyers; however, in accordance with the law, Woody Auction will declare the package value at hammer price and cannot declare lesser values for any international shipments. International bidders are responsible for knowing their country?s laws on import, customs, and duties. All duties and tariffs are the responsibility of the buyer.

If, for any reason, the Auctioneer deems we are unable to ship the property, Woody Auction will provide the buyer with a list of shipping companies and a Release document that must be signed and returned before items are released to the shipper. Buyer must arrange and pay for shipping when items are oversized, overweight, or extremely fragile. This transaction is strictly between the buyer and the shipper ? Woody Auction has no liability and does not recommend one shipper over another. If your purchase is handled by a shipper in the greater Wichita, KS, area, the Auctioneer may deliver the item to the shipper after buyer?s payment is received. Buyer has fourteen (14) days to ship or pick up their item(s). If items remain in our facility past that time, storage fees of $25 per month (per item) will be charged to the buyer's credit card on file.

In case of damage to your shipment, please save all materials and take photos of the damage and all sides of the box(es). Please note that USPS refunds for hammer price only, plus actual shipping cost (not materials). If shipped with UPS, the refund may include BP.

Please consider signature required or an alternative safe address.

BIDDING INFORMATION,
RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES
Bidding in our auctions constitutes an agreement to pay for all lots for which you are the winning bidder (plus Buyer?s Premium and all shipping charges). Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold absolute without reserve. Each lot in the auction is given a low and high estimate representing the range which, in the opinion of Woody Auction, is a conservative auction evaluation. Actual prices realized for items can fall below or above this range. An estimate of the selling price should not be relied upon as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose.

If identical absentee bids are left with Woody Auction for an item, the first bid received has precedence. Bids placed on LiveAuctioneers are not executed until the item is presented in the live auction.

Woody Auction sells 80-110 lots per hour. Please bid quickly.

Woody Auction reserves the right to withdraw any property before the completion of the sale and will have no liability for doing so.

We reserve the right to accept or decline any bid. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. All bids are per lot unless otherwise announced at a live sale by the Auctioneer. Live auction lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless the Auctioneer directs otherwise. For live auctions, the Auctioneer will have final discretion if any dispute should arise between bidders. The Auctioneer will determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale, or resell the lot(s) in dispute. Woody Auction will have final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute arises our sale record is conclusive.

Subject to fulfillment of all the conditions set forth herein, on the fall of the Auctioneer's hammer, title to the presented lot will pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by the Auctioneer after full payment is received, and such bidder thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility [including without limitation, liability for (or damage to) frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works].

The terms and conditions of sale described herein shall be enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Kansas. If any part of the Terms and Conditions is found by any court to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted, and the rest of the conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent of the law.

We reserve the right to amend our terms and conditions at any time without notice.
