- All Lots and prizes are “as is.” Julia’s House has attempted to describe the items correctly but is in no event responsible for the correctness of descriptions, genuineness, or condition of the items.
- In the event of a supplier not being able to provide the original Lot or prize, Julia’s House will endeavour to source an alternative of similar cash value to the original prize or Lot. If no alternative is found the winner will be offered a refund or asked if they would like to donate part or all of their bid amount to Julia’s House.
- There will be no exchanging of Lots or prizes nor refunds permitted. No cash alternative will be offered.
- Unless otherwise agreed by Julia’s House, prizes or Lots will not be released to the winner until payment has been received and cleared funds have been received.
- In the event of Julia’s House being unable to contact a winning bidder within seven days of the closing of the auction or draw, or of the payment not being received within 21 days of a winner being notified, Julia’s House reserves the right to award the Lot or prize to the next highest bidder or apply the Lot or prize as it sees fit, including for use in future auctions.
- In the event that a prize is not won at the original event or donated back to Julia’s House, Julia’s House will contact the prize donor in order to request and obtain consent that the prize be entered into another raffle or auction deemed appropriate by Julia’s House.
- Julia’s House reserves the right to add or withdraw items, without notice, to or from the auction at any time.
