1. Winning bidders are responsible for payment of the auction items in full at the end of the
evening event. Items bought at auction may be paid for by cash, check, or credit card
(AMEX, VISA or MASTERCARD). Nonpayment of any item will cancel the sale. In the
event of a “tie” between bidders, the auctioneer may re-open the bidding between the two
high bidders only. A buyer acknowledgment form will be executed by the high bidder
immediately following the auction of each item. When the buyer signs the buyer
acknowledgment form, it is done subject to the terms and conditions of these official auction
rules and any disclaimer contained herein. Any failure to execute the buyer acknowledgment
form will result in prompt re-auction of the item.
2. All items auctioned are sold “as is.” SCI assumes no responsibility for the validity of the
descriptions, authenticity, or condition of any item donated for auction. SCI makes no
warranty or guarantee, express or implied regarding any property or service sold at auction
including, but not limited to, any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose or
merchantability. Values listed are as stated by donors and are not warranted by SCI for tax
or any other purpose.
3. All items auctioned (whether goods or services) have been acquired or obtained by SCI from
third parties. The purchaser acknowledges that the items have not been inspected by SCI
and that the purchaser is advised, in the case of firearms, knives, bows, bullets or other
hunting equipment, to secure a competent inspection and test of the goods before use. No
services auctioned are to or will be performed by SCI.
4. By making a purchase, the purchaser waives any claim for liability against SCI or the donor
of any property or service, and neither SCI nor the donor is responsible for any personal
injuries or damages to property that may result from the utilization of any property or
services sold. If any action or claim is made against SCI by an individual, entity, or state,
local, federal, foreign or political body for any matter whatsoever arising from the use of the
auctioned items, or any actions or parties conducting business with respect to the auctioned
items, the donor and/or purchaser will pay SCI’s attorneys’ fees and costs and will hold SCI
harmless from any judgment thereon.
5. By making a purchase, the purchaser agrees that:
a. The auction and purchases made at the auction shall be governed in all respects,
whether as to validity, construction, capacity, performance, or otherwise, by the laws of the

b. Any dispute or action arising out of or relating to the Auction and purchases
made at the Auction shall first be submitted to mediation before a mediator mutually
agreed to by the Parties, with said mediation to be held in Lafayette, Louisiana. If
mediation is unsuccessful, then such dispute or claim shall be submitted to final and
binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association or other appropriate standard relating to disputes arising out of contract,
before one arbitrator, with said arbitration to be held in Lafayette, Louisiana.
6. 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 any auction. At each live
auction, there will be predesignated bid spotters in the audience, and it is the
responsibility of the bidder to direct bids to the nearest spotter. The auctioneers and
spotters will make every attempt to acknowledge all desired bids, but SCI is not
responsible for any missed bids or bids that fail to be executed.
7. Successful bidders may, during or immediately following the auction, present their
copy of the Buyer’s Agreement to the Auction Payment Counter, where they may pay
by cash, check or credit card. Checks should be made to LA Acadiana SCI Chapter

American Express are accepted. Items purchased through an online auction will be
shipped by the online shipping representative and fees are the responsibility of the
purchaser.

11. To protect our hunt donors, SCI reserves the right to withdraw any donated hunt from
the auction that does not receive a bid at the minimum of 50% of its stated value. If the
Auction Program Chairman and/or the Auctioneer determines that it is necessary or in
SCI’s best interest, the hunt may be offered to the last highest bidder at 50% of its
stated value before determining that a withdrawal is necessary. If the last highest bidder
rejects the offer, the hunt may be considered a no sale and withdrawn and may be resold
later. All hunt values are printed in the auction guide and verified from donor price
lists. The Auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion to determine the sale of a
donated hunt.
12. Some hunts are subject to VAT and GST tax liabilities. Often these taxes are due and
payable before a hunt can be taken. Other items may be subject to sales taxes. SCI does
not assume responsibility for these fees. Please verify amounts with donor and check
with the local government where a hunt is to be taken to validate tax rates.
13. The terms and conditions set forth in the Auction Buyer Policy and the Auction Hunt

completion of those two requirements, and any state mandated waiting period, the
firearm will be delivered to the buyer/winner at Lafayette Shooters.
