SCI Flint Regional Chapter- Auction Terms & Conditions.
By participating and/or registering, bidder agrees to the following terms & conditions:
Items donated to SCI Flint Regional Chapter and amounts paid to SCI Flint Regional Chapter as part of the auction do not qualify as charitable deductions. SCI Flint Regional Chapter is not a qualified charitable organization. No portion of any SCI Flint Regional Chapter auction purchase is eligible for a tax deduction unless it is an auction item (not a raffle item) sold for the benefit of SCI foundation, which is a qualified charitable organization. If an auction item (not a raffle item) is sold for the benefit of the SCI Foundation, the purchaser may be eligible for a charitable deduction for only that portion of the payment that is over the item's fair market (or retail) value (except for raffle ticket purchase, which are not eligible for a charitable deduction in all cases). All auction items are donated to the SCI Flint Regional Chapter (not SCI Foundation) by SCI Flint Regional Chapter exhibitors unless otherwise noted. If an auction item is dedicated to benefit SCI Foundation, it will be noted in the Description. Refer to IRS Publication 1391, Deductibility of Payments Made to Charities Conducting Fund Raising Events. Consult your tax advisor for information about charitable deductions.
SCI Flint Regional Chapter is dedicated to promoting the safe and legal ownership and use of firearms as expressed in our inalienable rights under the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America so that those who are legally permitted to purchase and sell firearms may collect and use firearms for competitive events or for other sporting purposes.
These Auction Program Rules and Regulations apply to auctions and raffles conducted for the benefit of SCI Flint Regional Chapter and SCI Foundation and the term "SCI Flint Regional Chapter" shall Include "SCI Foundation" in all instances where the auction or raffle is conducted for the benefit of SCI Foundation. While it is not required with every hunt or trip, we encourage the winning bidder to upgrade the hunt or trip. Taking additional animals, days, or additional people on the trip helps support those that support the SCI Flint Regional Chapter. Many times, these additions are at a discount. Talk with the outfitter and have an enjoyable trip.
Any exceptions to these Auction Program Rules & Regulations must be reviewed and accepted in writing by Auction Chairman and, if necessary, the SCI Flint Regional Chapter Board of Directors.
AUCTION BIDDING PROCEDURES AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
1.Please read the item descriptions carefully. Different hunts include or specify different things, such as lodging, meals, transportation, weapon type, available dates, etc. Generally, hunting licenses are not included. On hunts outside the United States, you may be charged PST, GST, VAT, and other taxes.
2.You or your representative (designated individual must have written, notarized authorization by you stating maximum bidding price for each of the items of interest) must be an approved registered bidder online or present during the auction to be eligible to bid. A person who bids on behalf of another person or group will be ultimately held responsible for payment in its entirety. A person registered and bidding through the official SCI Flint Regional Chapter online auction site will be considered to be registered and present for the auction.
3.Items auctioned are sold "as is". SCI Flint Regional Chapter assumes no responsibility for the validity of the descriptions, authenticity, or condition of any item donated for auction. SCI Flint Regional Chapter makes no warranty or guarantee of any kind, expressed or implied, regarding any property or service sold at auction. Including, but not limited to, any implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability. SCI Flint Regional Chapter makes no warranties about any donor’s accuracy, competency, or reliability, or of the SCI Flint Regional Chapter's buyer's satisfaction with his/her purchase. SCI Flint Regional Chapter acceptance of donor's gift or donation does not imply endorsement of the donor or the donated hunt, trip, goods, or services.
4.Values listed are as stated by donors and are not warranted by SCI Flint Regional Chapter for tax or any other purpose. The high bidder further acknowledges that his/her purchase is final and nonrefundable under all circumstances, and that should legal action be required to collect for the services or merchandise acquired by the high bidder at the auction, SCI Flint Regional Chapter shall be entitled to all reasonable attorney’s fees, cost of court, and interest as provided by law.
5.SCI Flint Regional Chapter recommends that any bidder who wins an auction item should consider researching and purchasing "trip insurance" to protect large hunting trips that could be compromised by sickness or injury of the hunter, death of an immediate family member, cancellations of flights due to weather conditions, complications that could be unforeseen with any outfitter, or any other life event that might prevent the hunter from completing the hunt. SCI Flint Regional Chapter does not provide insurance regarding any purchases made at the live auction or other events.
6.All items auctioned or raffled (whether goods or services) have been acquired or obtained by SCI Flint Regional Chapter from third parties. The purchaser acknowledges that the items have NOT been inspected by SCI Flint Regional Chapter and that the purchaser is advised, in the case of firearms, knives, bows, bullets or other weapons, to secure a competent inspection and test of the goods before use. No services auctioned are to or will be performed by SCI Flint Regional Chapter.
7.After bidding for an item concludes and the auctioneer designates a winning bidder, the designated winner (buyer) must immediately agree to a Buyer's Agreement.

All signatures on Buyer's Agreements, Silent Auction Bid Sheets and Silent Auction Sealed Bid Forms, are legal and binding. SCI Flint Regional Chapter/SCIF will not recognize changes, additions or deletions to any auction description agreed to by the buyer and donor unless such changes are noted on the Buyer's Agreement and signed by the buyer and an authorized representative of the donor.

9.The highest online pre-live Auction bidder's bid will be offered by the on-site online representative to the auctioneer when the bidding begins on each item. The auctioneer is not obligated to recognize the highest online bid first in the live auction room as all bidders on the live auction floor have an equal chance to be recognized by the auctioneer when the live bidding opens for that auction item.
10.If during a live auction, a final bid for an item is erroneously taken from two bidders, the bidding is closed to everyone else except those two bidders. The high bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. The auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion to determine the successful bidder in the auction on any item. At each live auction, there will be pre-designated bid spotters in the audience, and it is the responsibility of the bidder to direct bids to the nearest spotter or the auctioneer.
