StorageAuctions.com Terms of Service
The following describes the terms and conditions on which StorageAuctions.com offers you access to our site. These terms and conditions (Terms and Conditions) describe the policies, terms, and conditions applicable to your use of our services (Services) at the StorageAuctions.com Web Site (the Site). Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully. Your use of our services indicates that you accept these Terms and Conditions. You may not use our services if you do not accept these Terms and Conditions. StorageAuctions.com, hereinafter called Owner, reserves the right to make changes to this Site and these Terms and Conditions at any time without prior notice. This Agreement may not otherwise be amended except in a writing signed by Owner. 
3.1. Online Auction
Although the Site may be commonly referred to as an online auction web site, it is important to realize that StorageAuctions.com is not a traditional “auctioneer.” Instead, the Site acts as a venue to allow anyone to offer, sell, and buy products in the categories listed on the Site, at anytime, in a variety of formats, including a fixed price format and an auction-style format commonly referred to as an “online auction.” StorageAuctions.com is not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. As a result, StorageAuctions.com has no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to buy items. _StorageAuctions.com cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.
3.4. Information Control
StorageAuctions.com does not control the information provided by other users which is made available through our system. You may find other user’s information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution, common sense, and practice safe trading when using our Site. Please note that there are also risks of dealing with underage persons or people acting under false pretense. Additionally, there may also be risks of dealing with international trade and foreign nationals.
4. Bidding and Buying
If you are the winning bidder at the end of an auction (meeting any applicable minimum bid or reserve requirements) and your bid is accepted by the buyer (seller in the case of a posted bid auction), you are obligated to complete the transaction, unless the transaction is prohibited by law or by these Terms and Conditions. By bidding on an item you agree to be bound by the conditions of sale included in the item’s description so long as those conditions of sale are not in violation of these Terms and Conditions or unlawful. Bids are not retractable except in exceptional circumstances such as when the seller materially changes the item’s description after you bid, a clear typographical error is made, or you cannot authenticate the seller’s identity. Bidders may not bid in a way that pulls other bidders to their maximum bid, retract the high bid, and then re-bid at a small increment above the legitimate high bidder (“bid siphoning”).
5.2. Binding Bids
If you receive at least one bid at or above your stated minimum price (or in the case of reserve auctions, at or above the reserve price), you are obligated to complete the transaction with the highest bidder upon the auction’s completion, unless there is an exceptional circumstance, such as: (a) the buyer fails to meet the terms of your listing (such as payment method), or (b) you cannot authenticate the buyer’s identity (seller’s identity in the case of a posted bid auction).
5.3. Fraud
Without limiting any other remedies, StorageAuctions.com may suspend or terminate your account if it suspects that you (by conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise) have engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with the Site.
5.4. Manipulation
Neither you, bidders nor sellers may manipulate the price of any item nor may you interfere with other user’s listings or auctions. Such prohibited manipulation includes, without limitation, sending emails to bidders in a currently open auction being run by a different buyer, bid siphoning, or use of any alias or a third party to place bids on an item listed for sale by you on the Site.
6. Your Information.
6.1. Definition
“Your Information” is defined as any information you provide to StorageAuctions.com or other users in the registration, bidding or listing process, in any public message area, or through any email feature.

StorageAuctions.com, however, may take any action with respect to Your Information as it deems necessary or appropriate if StorageAuctions.com believes that any part of Your Information may create liability for StorageAuctions.com or may cause StorageAuctions.com to lose (in whole or in part) the services of any of its suppliers.

Furthermore, you may not list any item on our Site (or consummate any transaction that was initiated using our Services) that, by paying to StorageAuctions.com the listing fee or the final value fee, could cause StorageAuctions.com to violate any applicable law, statute, ordinance or regulation, or that violates any applicable United States laws or the laws of the country, state or territory in which either you or your trading partner reside or to which the item being sold is to be shipped.
