Auction Rules All bids at Latin���s 2013 Auction are binding, and there will be no refunds. Please read the following procedures carefully. Silent Auction A display card will be placed next to each item listing the item number, name, opening bid, minimum bid increment and value. To place a bid, guests must use the BidPal handheld device provided to them at registration or access BidPal from their personal iPhone or Android device. Guests must enter the item number on which they wish to bid and a bid amount. Guests are encouraged to place maximum bids. Anytime a guest is outbid, the system will automatically increase their bid up to the maximum bid amount entered. In the event that two guests enter the same maximum bid, the guest who entered their maximum bid first will be considered the high bidder until another higher bid is entered. At any point in the silent auction, guests may tap the ���My Items��� button on their device to view which items they are winning or losing. Guests may also tap the ���Submit Bid��� button to re-bid on a lost item, or the ���Increase Max Bid��� button to increase their maximum bid on an item they are winning. No bidding on items will be allowed after the silent auction is closed. The winning bid for each item will be viewable from the handheld device once the silent auction has closed. Successful bidders will be notified via their handheld device at the end of the silent auction. In collaborative bidding efforts the person that bids for the group is ultimately held responsible for payment in its entirety if all payments have not been received by Monday, March 18, 2013. An announcement will be made prior to the end of the silent auction. The Development Office staff reserve the right to adjust the closings of categories on the night of the Auction. After payment is made, merchandise and gift certificates can be claimed in the Merchandise Distribution area. Live Auction David Goodman will conduct the Live Auction. Once commenced, the Live Auction will continue without interruption until all items have been sold. To enter a bid, the bidder signals either the auctioneer or one of the spotters who will relay bids to the auctioneer. The auctioneer determines the successful bidder. The successful bidder (a) assumes full risk and responsibility of the item purchased; (b) must provide name, address, telephone number, and bidding number to a spotter; (c) must agree to pay the full amount.
