THE AUCTION PROCESS
Registration
In order to bid on any vacation or travel package on Bid4Vacations.com's Site, you are required to provide credit card information for billing purposes at the time such bid is made. This information shall include your real name, address, phone number, and valid credit card information. It is illegal to make bids in a false name, with an invalid or stolen credit card, or with a credit card that, during or after the bidding, is falsely claimed to have been stolen. If you commit any of these acts, you have placed yourself at substantial, personal legal risk. Even if you do not give us your real name, your Web browser transmits a unique Internet Protocol Address, with which police agencies, your local phone company, and the Internet Protocol Address owner can use to determine the phone number from which your bid originated. Fraudulent bidders will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If Bid4Vacations.com reasonably believes that you have engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with its Site, without restricting any other remedies, Bid4Vacations.com may immediately suspend or terminate your account.
Auction Listings
While Bid4Vacations.com makes every effort to be as accurate as possible in compiling information for auctions conducted on the Site, Bid4Vacations.com does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any presentation made by an owner and/or operator of the travel or vacation packages listed for auction on the Site. Occasionally, information supplied to us may be inaccurate or may change during the course of the auction. You agree not to hold Bid4Vacations.com liable for any inaccurate auctions the Site may contain. PLEASE NOTE THAT BID4VACATIONS.COM RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REINVOICE YOU IN CASE OF AN ERROR MADE IN COMPUTING YOUR PRICE FOR ANY AUCTION YOU MAY BID ON AND/OR WIN.
Availability for auction items with specific Departure Dates is guaranteed. It is important to note that open Date Range packages are based on availability. Please read the Trip Details and Booking Restrictions sections (if applicable) for any auction item before bidding.
Binding Auction Bids
A bid is a legally binding offer to buy an item sold at auction. All bids are final and not retractable. The Supplier of the travel and vacation packages auctioned on Bid4Vacations.com's Site must sell the auctioned item to the highest bidder that meets or exceeds the minimum auction price. ALL WINNING BIDS ARE NON-RETRACTABLE, AND THE SALE OF THE TRAVEL AND VACATION PACKAGE IS FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE.
Bid4Vacations.com reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel any bids that it deems not to be made in good faith. Bid4Vacations.com is not responsible for any bids "lost" due to technical problems or service interruptions.
If the highest bid is placed using your credit card, your credit card will automatically be billed in the amount of the bid. You are responsible for payment of all successful bids made using your credit card, as your card will be billed by Bid4Vacations.com, regardless of whether or not it is you who made the successful bid. Bid4Vacations.com does not take responsibility for lost or misused credit cards and/or third parties accessing a bidder's Internet account or username and password on the Bid4Vacations.com Site. You will be responsible for any bids or other actions that take place on the Site under your password, whether or not you are aware of such actions. If you believe that your password has been stolen or otherwise compromised, you should promptly contact Bid4Vacations.com so that Bid4Vacations.com may cancel the password and issue a new one.
You acknowledge and agree that, in the event you are the successful bidder and Bid4Vacations.com is unable, for any reason, to charge and collect the full price of your successful bid to your credit card, Bid4Vacations.com shall have the right to charge and collect any amount less than your successful bid from your credit card and to collect any difference between the amount of your successful bid and the lesser amount charged and collected from your credit card by any lawful means available.
Auction Lot Modifications
Bid4Vacations.com reserves the right in its sole discretion without notice to cancel any auction, close auctions early, or extend auctions beyond the posted closing times. Posted closing times and displays of Bid4Vacations.com current time are approximate.
Auction Vacation Package Changes
Bid4Vacations.com will charge $50 for any changes made to your confirmed vacation package. You may also incur additional charges based upon the vacation provider's change policy, which are strictly out of Bid4Vacations.com's control.
Credits Solely Within Bid4Vacations.com Discretion
On occasion, Bid4Vacations.com may in its sole discretion grant a credit for the amount of a successful bid to allow the successful bidder to transfer that credit for a new bid on a travel and vacation package of equal or greater value on the Site. If the travel and vacation package is of greater value, then the bidder is responsible for the difference between the amount of its successful bid and the amount of the credit. Bid4Vacations.com will generally consider issuing a credit only in emergency situations such as the death of the successful bidder, the successful bidder's traveling companion, or immediate family members. It is worth re-iterating that Bid4Vacations.com's decision to issue such credits is solely within its own discretion and is not reviewable by a court or otherwise.
Travel Fulfillment for Auction
In the event that you are the winning bidder, you must respond to the confirmation email within 72 hours of the date of the email in order to secure your vacation package. Bid4Vacations.com assumes no responsibility for incorrect e-mail addresses entered upon user registration. Not responding within the 72 hours greatly reduces your chances of traveling on your desired dates.
