Items' closing times will be displayed on the website, but may be extended past their scheduled closing time, as a result of the dynamic closing feature.

Any Bidder's attempt to re-register after having been suspended - whether directly by creating a new account or indirectly by using or directing the use of a third party's account - will constitute a breach of these Terms and Conditions and may expose the Bidder to civil and criminal liability for fraud. The Auctioneer further reserves the right to refund the Bidder and eject any Bidder, or agent thereof, from any premises, if the Bidder becomes disruptive. In the event of such an ejection, it will be within the Auctioneer's discretion to refund any amounts paid by the ejected Bidder. Nothing in this paragraph will limit the Auctioneer's right to any other remedies at law or in equity. 24.
