3 Bidding & Winning
Members of PoultryTrade.com agree to complete the sale of an item listed if you are the highest bidder.
When you place a bid on a listed auction item, you agree to be bound by the terms of sale in the seller’s listing, provided that the terms do not violate this User Agreement and are lawful.
Questions regarding individual listings must be clarified PRIOR to placing a bid on an item, as once you have placed a bid you will be contractually obliged to complete the transaction if that bid is successful.
PoultryTrade.com will not guarantee or accept any liability for any item listed or the content contained within a listing.
Purchases through PoultryTrade.com are entirely at the risk of the winning bidder.
Members purchasing live birds agree:
NO LIABILTY CAN BE PLACED UPON PoultryTrade.com FOR DEAD OR SICK BIRDS and we do not guarantee the authenticity or safety of any item sold which is listed on the website.
Members are responsible for ensuring that they comply with the relevant laws relating to the sale, transportation, welfare and safety of live birds and hatching eggs and PoultryTrade.com accepts no liability for failure to comply, nor for any loss or damage caused as a result of a Member’s failure to comply.
4. No Shill Bidding
A ‘shill bid’ is a bid placed on an item by the seller or another person known to the seller (eg a friend, family member or other representative) in order to increase the price of the item under auction.
5. Agreement Amendments
This User Agreement may be amended from time to time, at our discretion.
The Bidding
Members who place the highest bid or meet the reserve price and are the highest bidder in an auction are deemed to have won the item up for auction. Items won by a buyer must be paid for as per the terms set out in the auction listing.
Buyers who fail to complete a transaction through non-payment will be reported by the seller to PoultryTrade.com
Buyers who have placed a bid on an auction item may contact the seller to request their bid to be cancelled. Bids may only be cancelled by PoultryTrade.com and therefore sellers must contact us in order to remove any bids they agree to cancel. However, any bid whether it be a winning bid or not is placed at the buyers risk and sellers are not obliged to cancel any bids whatsoever.
Buyers failing to complete a transaction on 3 occasions will not be tolerated and therefore will have their account immediately terminated This will deem the member unable to log in or bid on any listed auctions, indefinitely. Members’ accounts will be suspended/terminated at our sole discretion.
The Selling
PoultryTrade.com strongly recommends that sellers do not send items to buyers until items are paid for in full.
We also advise sellers to ensure that when sending items to buyers they use a service that is fully traceable in order to eliminate buyers from not receiving items paid for.
PoultryTrade.com accepts no liability whatsoever between buyers and sellers and their transactions, neither do they accept any liability on the sending and receiving of goods.
Sellers that are reported 3 times for non-receipt of goods and who cannot prove the sending of goods will have their account terminated. This will deem the member unable to log in or bid on any listed auctions, indefinitely. Members’ accounts will be suspended/terminated at our sole discretion.
This policy forms part of the User Agreement, and by accepting the User Agreement upon registration you confirm that you have read and understood this policy and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions contained within.
