Dubeau Auctions Terms & Conditions

The following terms and conditions are applicable   to all of our auctions, however some auctions will require further   agreement disclosures and will be stated on advertising if it applies to that   auction.

Registration with Dubeau Auctions indicates your   acceptance of the following terms & conditions listed   below.

  1. All persons are required to be registered in order to   obtain an assigned “Bidding Number” from Dubeau Auctions prior to bidding on any   item within the auction sale. Valid identification (i.e: valid Driver’s Licence)  must be presented to the registration clerk in order to register. Failure to   provide valid identification will result in denial of registration and therefore   will not be permitted to bid within the auction sale.
  2. All sales are final. Dubeau Auctions only acts as   an agent for the seller. All articles will be sold on an “AS IS - WHERE IS”  basis without warranty or recourse. Every effort is made by Dubeau Auctions to   describe correctly the property/item being offered for auction, however the   descriptions are purely statements of opinion by the Auctioneer or the auction   staff members and therefore does not provide the purchaser with any warranty. As   posted on the auction advertisement, a preview time is permitted prior to the   auction to accommodate individuals to inspect all articles for sale in the   condition that they will be sold.
  3. Unless legal proof of tax exemption is provided at the   time of registration, all applicable taxes (Federal Goods & Services Tax 5%  and Ontario Retail Sales Tax 8%) will apply to the purchase price plus the   Buyer’s Premium (as posted or advertised).
  4. The highest bidder acknowledged by the Auctioneer shall   be deemed the purchaser and is required to show his assigned “Bidding Number” to   the Auctioneer immediately. Once this number has been accepted by the Auctioneer   that bidder now accepts ownership and all responsibility for that item and thus   Dubeau Auctions will not be held responsible or liable for any damage, loss or   liability of the article once it has been sold.
  5. All articles must be Paid In Full on the day of   the auction sale and before removal from the premises at which the auction sale   was conducted. All articles must be removed from the premises the day of the   auction unless mutually satisfactory arrangements have been made prior to the   sale. The purchaser assumes all responsibility for packing and the safe   removal/transportation of the articles purchased including any removal/shipping   fees, licences, permits and/or insurance requirements.
  6. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for or fails to   remove the article(s) within the aforementioned time limit, the Auctioneer   reserves the right to claim title to the property sold and hold the defaulter   responsible for all storage and/or transportation costs and the expenses   involved in the re-sale of the items.
  7. The Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot   from the auction sale or to divide any lot in the auction sale or to combine any   lots in the auction sale at his/her sole discretion without prior   notice.
  8. Any lot put up for auction could be subject to an   unpublished reserve price imposed by the seller. If there is a reserve price on   an article, the item is identified as such at the introduction of the auction   and/or before the item is sold.
  9. Absentee & Phone bids shall be accepted by Dubeau   Auctions provided that the bidder accepts all the Terms and Conditions of the   auction sale and that your registration has been accepted by Dubeau Auctions   prior to the sale of the item for absentee bids and two days prior to the   auction sale date for phone bids. The Auctioneer and staff will make every   effort to execute the bids competitively. If a absentee bid or phone bid was   successful, the bidder will be contacted by phone within 3 days to make payment   and shipping/pickup arrangements. All shipping costs will be charged to the   purchaser and in addition to the purchase price plus Buyer’s Premium and all   applicable taxes.
  10. Dubeau Auctions reserves the right to refuse admission,  to refuse any or all bids of a particular individual attending the auction with   just cause. Anyone tampering with or moving the articles for sale will be asked   to leave the auction. All shoplifters will be prosecuted by law.
  11. Dubeau Auctions, the Auctioneer nor the Proprietors   shall not be held liable or responsible for personal injury, accidents or loss on   day of sale
  12. Please note: Dubeau Auctions’ employees may be   bidding on items either for themselves or for absentee bidders.
