AUCTION RULES AND TERMS
Please read the following Terms and Conditions carefully. These rules apply to all Live Facebook Auctions hosted by Cape Town Live Auctions. By placing a bid, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
GENERAL TERMS
Winning a lot constitutes a legally binding contract between the Buyer, also referred to as the Bidder, and the Seller, Cape Town Live Auctions. Registration is not required to participate. However, all bidders must ensure that they understand and accept these rules before placing a bid.
ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD AS IS, VOETSTOOTS, WITH NO WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES.
15% VAT will be added to the final bid amount. No commission is charged.
CTLA will not be held liable if images differ from the actual product. Images posted before the auction are used only to give clients an idea of what will be on auction. If a bidder is interested in a specific item, CTLA can assist with model numbers before the auction so that research can be done before goods are purchased.

Items not collected by the stipulated deadline may, at the discretion of CTLA, be subject to storage fees of R250 per day and/or be resold without refunding the deposit, if applicable, to the original Buyer.
