All Bidders are encouraged to inspect the Property prior to placing any bid and the Winning Bidder, as Buyer, acknowledges that he/she/it has had a reasonable opportunity to inspect and examine the condition of the Property and make inquiries of knowledge persons.

By registering and bidding, the Buyer acknowledges they understand, accept and agree to these Terms and Conditions. The Buyer acknowledges that they have had ample opportunity to read the Terms and Conditions of the Auction Sale. 13. Seller and Auctioneer cannot, and will not, be held responsible for any interruption in service, errors, and/or omissions, caused by any means, therefore they cannot guarantee continual, uninterrupted or error free service as the website could be interfered with by means out of their control. Bidder acknowledges that the online auction is conducted electronically and relies on hardware and software that may malfunction without warning. 14. Auctioneer has hired an inexpensive 3rd party professional packing & shipping service to facilitate shipments for non-local buyers. The shipper will ONLY ship to the "Shipping Address," which is defined as the address linked to the bank/credit card used to register for the auction and pay for the purchase. The shipper WILL NOT ship to any other alternative address. Shipping is offered via USPS, United Parcel Service, or Fedex, and the carrier will be selected based on the least expensive option. Some items are not eligible for shipping. Items that ARE available for shipping will be marked in the catalog with the text, "Shipping Available," and a little box truck icon. Any items that do not have this text and marking are not available for shipping, or the buyer must arrange their own UShip.com or other courier for shipping purposes. It is also important to read the item(s) description to ensure the auction lot is available for shipping because items that are not available for shipping will include the text, "Pick up only. This lot is not available for shipping." Neither the Auctioneer, nor the staff at Champaign County Auctions & Estates will act as a courier for any items that are clearly described as "not available for shipping." As a general rule, furniture, large items, and clocks will not be shipped. Items may be updated prior to 5 days from the auction close, so please do not assume that large items are eligible for shipping. Smaller items are usually eligible for shipping. Please feel free to email the Auctioneer and ask if an item is eligible for shipping. The buyer will be charged actual shipping label cost plus any necessary parcel insurance and a Handling fee. Handling fees are at the discretion of the shipper, and these fees are calculated as a combination of the time it takes the shipper to process a shipping order and the quantity and/or type of materials used in packaging. Small and simple packages that take 10 minutes or less to pack and ship are charged a flat $6 Handling Fee. Any package that takes over 10 minutes to pack and ship will be charged a minimum of a $10 Handling fee, and the shipper will charge an additional $10 in Handling fees for every additional 15 minutes required to pack and ship an order. For example, a complicated shipment that takes 45 minutes to pack and ship will be charged approximately $35-$40 in Handling fees. Materials and boxes are fairly inexpensive and may cost up to $5 dollars extra, depending on the box size. Any use of foam board to protect flat items will have at least an additional $5 Handling fee. Large packages and any packages with more than 4 items may also have at least an additional $5 Handling fee for a non-standard box and materials. The shipper's pricing is very reasonable in comparison with other auction houses and 3rd Party shippers. It is expected that buyers understand the cost of shipping labels and increased labor rates, non-standard box cost, and packing material cost since 2020. In any instance where a buyer is unhappy with the cost of shipping, the Auctioneer will require local pick up by a Uship.com or other courier. ***The Auctioneer is not responsible for filing or pursuing insurance claims. In the very rare occurrence of a damaged package, it is the Winning Bidder's responsibility to file an insurance claim. The Auctioneer will assist the Winning Bidder with the necessary documentation required by the claims adjuster, but The Auctioneer will not file or pursue insurance claims.*** 15. The Auctioneer does not accept bids from new HiBid members with less than 60 days of bidding and successful payment history, unless the bidder is considered to be "local." Exemptions to this rule include family and friends of the Consignors, those willing to place a $500 electronic deposit via Venmo, and those who are acquainted with regular customers or other local auctioneers who can be contacted as references. 16. The Auctioneer does not accept bids from anyone who has had a documented history of unpaid invoices, payment disputes, chargebacks, or unpaid shipping bills with other affiliates or online Auctioneers. The Auctioneer also does not tolerate non-payment or any other forms of these occurrences with Champaign County Auctions & Estates. The Auctioneer will document any such issue on the bidder's online registration profile. The Auctioneer will also pursue any damages caused by an unpaid invoice or chargeback by filing suit with the Champaign County Court Clerk. A $250 filing fee will also be added as damages to the complaint. 17. The Auctioneer does not accept bids from anyone who has had a documented history of rudeness, difficulty, or other similar problems with affiliates or other online Auctioneers. The Auctioneer does not tolerate these types of problems and will document any such issues, which may occur in their place of business or via email/telephone, on the bidder's online registration profile. The Auctioneer expects that any disagreements are to be handled in a professional manner. 18. The Registered Bidder acknowledges receipt and copy of these Terms and Conditions, and having read and understood the provisions set forth therein, accepts same and agrees to be bound thereby.
