Terms & Conditions

 

• In order to bid in the auction, bidders must be aged 18 or

over.

• Late, incomplete, defaced or corrupt bids, and bids below

the minimum bid value will not be accepted.

• You acknowledge that once you have been informed

you are the highest bidder, you are obliged to pay for the

item(s) on the night. Payment will be processed on the

night of the silent auction with a voucher or delivery of

physical item(s) to follow.

• You can pay by cash or all major credit & debit cards.

Credit card charges, pre-agreed with the event host/

charity will be deducted from the project surplus.

• Unless expressly stated as included within the package, the

highest bidder is responsible for making all arrangements

and meeting all costs out of their own pocket that may be

necessary to take up and enjoy their Lot, including but not

limited to costs of travel, accommodation, insurance and

food.

• Some package suppliers may require a refundable

damage deposit upon booking – this applies to villas,

apartments and other private properties.

• If, for any reason, we are unable to award a Lot, we reserve

the right to withdraw the Lot from the auction.

• All items offered in the silent auction brochure shall be

subject to availability and we shall not be liable for any

claims, expenses, costs and/or any losses (including, but

not limited to, loss of profits, indirect, pure economic and

consequential losses or otherwise) or any damage (save

for death or personal injury arising from negligence)

suffered by any Bidder.

• A sealed bid is where more than one of a package is

available. In some cases, there can be as many as three

available. In this case, the top three winning bidders will

be successful, and the charity will receive money from all

sales.

• Echelon Group acts as agents for the supply of

the listed products, events and services identified in this

brochure. Any agreement to purchase the products, events

and services will be between the supplier and purchaser of

the products not Echelon Group.

• Experiences/vouchers are valid for a year from the date of

the silent auction unless stated specifically. All vouchers

are non-refundable, cannot be extended and must be

used in one time.

• We shall not be liable for any delay or non-performance of

any obligations in relation to the Lot to the extent that such

performance is interrupted or prevented by circumstances

beyond our reasonable control.

• In the event of force majeure or some other unforeseen

cancellation (including the insolvency of any third-party

provider of any booking, experience or auction prize) to a

booked experience, you will receive a refund of the total

minimum bid value for the specified Lot.

• In the event of a refund any amount bid over the minimum

bid value, plus £100 of the minimum bid value, will be

classed as a donation to the chosen charity or cause and

cannot be reclaimed through Echelon Group.

• Some images in this online brochure are for illustrative purposes.

• 100% of revenue above the minimum for all non-donated
