Terms of Service

The following Terms of Service, as amended by any posted notices or verbal announcements during the sale, constitute the entire terms and conditions on which property listed in the catalog shall be offered for sale or sold by Floating World Auctions and any consignor of such property for whom we act as agent. As used herein, "we" and "us" refer to Floating World Auctions.

1. As used herein, the term "bid price" means the price at which a lot is successfully knocked down to the purchaser. The term "purchase price" means the aggregate of (a) the bid price, (b) a PREMIUM retained by us and payable by the purchaser EQUAL TO 25% of the bid price (including the online bidding fee imposed by Invaluable, AuctionZip and Ebay Live Auctions) and (c) unless the purchaser is exempt by law from the payment thereof, any Illinois state or local sales tax (or compensating use tax) and other applicable taxes.
2. On the fall of the auctioneer's hammer or for timed auctions at the expiration of the time for bidding, the highest bidder shall have purchased the offered lot in accordance with all of the conditions set forth herein and (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefore, (b) if requested will sign a confirmation of purchase, and (c) will pay the purchase price in full or such part as we may require for all lots purchased. No lot may be transferred. Unless otherwise agreed, payment in good funds is due and payable within five (5) business days of the auction sale. Whenever the purchaser pays only a part of the total purchase price for one or more lots purchased, we may apply such payments, in our sole discretion, to the lot or lots we choose. Payment for purchases may be made in or by (a) cash, (b) cashier's check or money order, (c) personal check with approved credit, or (d) credit card processed through the Invaluable payment system, which includes a surcharge of 3% for cards issued by U.S. banks and 4% for cards issued by non-U.S. banks, based on the bidder's address. We do not accept PayPal for Invaluable, AuctionZip or Ebay Live Auction purchases. The purchaser grants us a security interest in the property, and we may retain as collateral security for the purchaser's obligations to us, any property and all monies held or received by us for the account of the purchaser, in our possession. We retain all rights of a secured party under the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code. If the foregoing conditions or any other applicable conditions herein are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to us and the consignor by law, including without limitation, the right to hold the purchaser liable for the purchase price, we at our option may either (a) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser or (b) resell the property, either publicly or privately, and in such event the purchaser shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency plus all costs and expenses of both sales, our commission at our standard rates, all other charges due hereunder, attorneys' fees and incidental damages. If all fees, commissions, premiums, bid price and other sums due to us from the purchaser are not paid promptly as provided in these Terms of Service, we reserve the right to impose a finance charge equal to 1.5% per month on all amounts due to us beginning on the 31st day following the sale until payment is received, in addition to other remedies available to us by law.

3. We reserve the right to withdraw any property at any time before the actual sale. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalog and no lot shall be divided for sale.

4. We reserve the right to reject a bid from any bidder. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event the auctioneer doubts the validity of any bid, the auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sales records shall be conclusive in all respects.

5. Subject to these Terms of Service and to such terms and conditions as we may prescribe, but at no charge to the customer, we will undertake to execute all order bids submitted to us by a customer who has established credit with us. Telephone order bids must be confirmed in writing or by cable. All bids are kept in strict confidence. In the event of identical bids, the earliest will take precedence. We shall not be held responsible for errors or failure to execute bids. While the sale is in progress, bidding by telephone may be allowed by the auctioneer at his discretion. We shall not be held responsible for errors or failure to execute such a bid whether it be due to equipment failure, loss of connection, or failure to hear or understand the bidder's directions. All bidding by telephone is solely at the risk of the bidder.

6. Unless otherwise specified, all sales may have items subject to reserve (a confidential agreed upon price between the auctioneer and the consignor, below which the article will not be sold). The reserve will not be higher than the low estimate.
