LIVESTOCKCITY ONLINE AUCTION TERMS AND CONDITIONS (SUPPLEMENTAL TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS ABOVE)

In addition to the Terms and Conditions shown above, the following terms and conditions are specific to the online auctions and by participating in the online auctions, users are bound to all terms and conditions provided by LivestockCity. Participation Registration is free at www.livestockcity.com to participate in LivestockCity auctions as a buyer or seller. All users must be a resident of the United States or Canada, a properly registered user at LivestockCity, and be 18 years old or older. All information (name, date of birth, address, phone number, email address) must be accurate and verifiable in order to participate as a bidder or seller.

Information Accuracy

Seller is responsible the accuracy of the information submitted for their animal(s) in the sale. LivestockCity is not responsible for incorrect information, either entered or provided by the Seller or information omitted by the Seller. LivestockCity assumes no liability on its part of the part of the Seller for any written/verbal statements on their animal consignments. Seller is expected to provide accurate, complete information, but Buyers should confirm such information with the Seller prior to bidding.

Payments

Under law the winning bidder is obligate to purchase the animal that was bid on. Buyer is expected to pay within 48 hours of being the winning bidder/buyer. If desired, legal action could be brought against a Buyer by the Seller if the Bidder fails to provide payment for the animal. LivestockCity will not pursue any legal action on behalf of the Buyer or Seller or be responsible for any legal fees in such matters. LivestockCity is not liable for any Buyer’s failure to pay. In the event that a winning bidder fails pay, the Seller is in no way obligated to relinquish ownership of the sold animal until payment is received. In this case, the Seller may sell to other interested parties, and commission will be determined in a the way previously stated above. If there are no interested parties and the Seller does not pursue legal action against the auction winner, the animal will be considered unsold, and the Buyer will be permanently banned from using any LivestockCity products/services in the future. All payments will be made through Stripe payments, and a 3% processing fee will be added to the purchase price. LivestockCity is not liable to pay the Seller until such time that Buyer has made their payment.

Transportation

Unless stated otherwise, it is the responsibility of the Buyer to transport the animal(s) they purchase.

Reserve Prices And Proxy Bids

The Seller has the right to place a minimum price that the animal(s) are required to meet in order to sell (reserve price). If the animal does not meet this minimum price, it will be considered “unsold.” In this case, anyone can make offers to the Seller. A “Proxy Bid” is a maximum price a Bidder is willing to pay. Bidders have the right to create a maximum bidding amount and the auction software will bid on behalf of the bidder, up to that amount. Bidders that bid under the reserve price, even if more than than the minimum bid requirement at the time, will post the bid highest to the reserve price amount (e.g., if the current high bid is $500, and the reserve is $1000, and if the minimum requirement to be high bidder is $600 and you bid $800, the bid closest to meeting reserve will post, which is $800. Note that even at this price, the animal will not meet the reserve price to sell).

Sale Fees

There will be a 10% commission fee if the animal sells in the sale. If the animal sells once posted BEFORE the sale begins or right AFTER the sale ends, or as a result of being in the sale (I.e., the Buyer discovered the animal from it being in the auction), the Seller must pay the 10% commission on the sale price of the animal. In some cases, Seller discretion may be advised, but dishonesty on behalf of Sellers regarding post-sales may result in the Seller being banned from use of LivestockCity products/services in the future.

Guarantees

All animals in the auction are being sold “As-is” without warranty, unless stated otherwise by the Seller. It is strongly recommended that Buyers do their due diligence on any prospective animals they may buy. Any additional guarantees or warranties are between the Seller and Buyer only.

No Liability

LivestockCity, Inc. is providing auction services only to individuals interested in selling and buying animals via internet auction. No liability, duties, obligations, and/or responsibilities of any kind in nature shall be imposed on LivestockCity, it’s owners, their families, interns/employees, co-founders, or advisors for any theft, damage, and/or harm in any way to those participating in the online auction. LivestockCity, Inc. cannot guarantee the authenticity and quality of the animal in the sale. We are not responsible for any actions the buyers or sellers take before, during, and/or after the auction, typographical errors, wrong or misleading information, misprints in any form on the website/auction site, loss of merchandise/money, or failure of website/auction site, loss of data, or failure of equipment due to the usage of this auction site. Use of this site is at your own risk.

Selling Prior To or During Auction

Animals posted for auction are expected to remain until the auction occurs. However, there are “Buy It Now” and “Make An Offer” options on every auction, and animal could sell before the auction begins. In this case, commission will be due for the sale. Once the animal is publicly viewable on the auction site, if the Seller is contacted some other way to arrange a purchase (outside of LivestockCity), commission is due.

Binding Contract

All sales constitute a legal contract between the buyer and seller of each animal sold. LivestockCity will accept no responsibility in any way with regards to the sales contract.

Authorization

By participating in the LivestockCity auction as a buyer or seller, you are thereby agreeing to these auction Terms and Conditions, as well as the Terms and Conditions linked in the website’s footer.

Governing Law
