an auction you will immediately be charged the full amount of your winning bid, up to £5,000. If the
winning bid is greater than £5,000, Charity Stars will contact you at the email you have provided to

3. Bidding

2. All Items offered in an Auction are listed and offered for sale on an "as is" basis. Bidders are advised
to conduct any research or due diligence on an Item prior to making a bid.
3. A bid made by a bidder is an offer to purchase the Item listed at the stated bid price. Any bidder
making a bid for an Item acknowledges and agrees that their offer is an irrevocable offer to complete
the transaction if they are the winning bidder whereupon the bid will become a contractually binding
obligation to purchase the Item at the bid price.
4. If a bidder bids on an Item and that bid represents the winning bid for that Item and the winning
bid is above or equal to the reserve, the bidder's bid is deemed accepted.
5. The 'winning bidder' is the person certified by the Charity at the end of the Auction to be the
highest bidder, provided that their bid meets the reserve. The winning bidder may include any
under-bidder who is awarded the Item following the failure of a higher bid for any reason.
4. Item Descriptions
1. Items for sale in the Auction are listed on the site with a description and a minimum bid.
2. The Charity will, wherever possible, provide a representational image of the Item offered for sale in the Auction but shall have no liability if it does not do so.
3. All Images are subject to copyright of the artist.
4. Whilst the Charity strives to ensure that descriptions and photographs are accurate, complete and up-to-date, it does not guarantee that this is the case, and will not be responsible for any damage or loss caused due to a bidder by reason of a description of an Item being inaccurate, incomplete or for the Item being otherwise in any way different to the bidder's expectation.
5. Descriptions of Items are provided without a warranty of any kind. In no event shall the Charity (including its employees, affiliates and volunteers) be liable for any claim, demand or damages arising out of or in any way connected with the use by the bidder of the site, the Auction or the Bidding Facility or their purchase of an Item.

1. Deadlines for receipt of bids made for an Item offered in the Auction are at the sole discretion of
the Charity and will not be extended under any circumstances. No bids will be accepted on an Item
after the deadline.
2. After the Auction closes the Charity will contact the winning bidder to inform the bidder that their
bid was the highest and that they are, therefore, the winning bidder.
6. Gift Aid
1. By agreeing to Gift Aid, the bidder is confirming that they are a UK taxpayer and understand that if
they pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid
claimed on all their donations it is their responsibility to pay any difference. The bidder understands

reclaimed by the charity from the tax they pay for the current tax year.
