ITEM PICKUP AND SHIPPING

1. Purchases must be picked up by the purchaser prior to leaving the venue at the conclusion of the Auction. Buyers can review a receipt listing or their purchases upon checkout. After reviewing and approving the receipt, they will pick up their items. Receipts will be e-mailed that evening upon checkout to the e-mail address provided by the bidder.

2. Extremely large purchases or heavy items may be scheduled for pick-up or delivery. Please contact Family Building Blocks at 503.566.2132. 3. Any item(s) not removed from the venue by the above time will be held for three (3) weeks at Family Building Blocks, 2425 Lancaster Dr NE, Salem, OR 97305. Family Building Blocks will make an attempt to contact the winning bidder. If the bidder fails to retrieve the item(s) in question by the end of the three week period, Family Building Blocks will assume the bidder has abandoned the property and relinquished it to Family Building Blocks, treat the bidder’s payment as a straight donation to Family Building Blocks, and seek to make other use of the item(s) that the bidder has abandoned. 4. Purchaser shall incur all shipping and insurance costs for items not picked up at the conclusion of the Auction.

5. Out-of-state bidders shall be familiar with the laws of their locality since shipping regulations, especially those pertaining to beverages of alcoholic content, vary from state to state.

6. In the event of loss or damage to any item incurred in the course of its handling or storage during the auction event and before possession is taken by the buyer, the buyer will be compensated as follows: 1) if the item has not been paid for, the exact amount of the bid amount will be subtracted from the buyer’s purchases; or 2) if the item has been paid for, the buyer will receive a refund for that bid amount.

TRAVEL PACKAGE STIPULATIONS

Before bidding, please read carefully the following conditions of purchase for all travel packages. Travel packages sold through the Auction contain only those elements listed in the auction lot description.

1. Air travel must not be interrupted. Airfare is to be booked point-to-point. Any changes or additions to travel will be at the buyer’s expense. This condition also applies to rental cars or other ground transportation not included in the Auction lot description.

2. Expiration dates are NOT flexible. Expiration dates have been carefully selected by the donors involved. To request an extension beyond the expiration date could place undue burden on the donor and jeopardize future donations to the Auction.

3. All reservations including air, rental cars, and lodging, must be made within dates specified in supporting documentation and as contained in the Auction package.

4. Once a trip is scheduled and confirmed by the buyers, changes may not be allowed by the donors. If a donor is unable to accommodate requests to reschedule or if a requested change results in a donor being unable to honor all components of the trip, Family Building Blocks/Uncorked Wine Auction will

NOT refund any portion of the trip purchase. 5. Some trip features or amenities may have to be paid by the buyers at the time of use. Such expenditures will NOT be reimbursed unless specifically listed in the Auction item description as qualified for reimbursement by the Auction.

6. PLEASE NOTE: If a buyer donates a travel package purchased at the Auction to another charity, or it is resold to another person, bidder assumes ALL risk. Family Building Blocks/Uncorked Wine Auction will not be responsible for honoring any elements contained in travel packages purchased outside the Auction.
