Winning Bidders will receive a complete invoice within 24 hours after close of auction. Winning Bidders must contact Facilities First at sales@facilitiesfirst.com
within 3 days following notification of winning bid to make final
payment. Pickup or shipping arrangements will also be made at this time.
Due to a revised pick-up Schedule this auction will need to
be paid for with overnighted business check to be immediately cleared
electronicly before item can be removed by May 26th, 2008.
The
winning bidder of this auction will be required to sign a liability
release form releasing the existing business owner of these assets from
future liability as a condition of close of this auction.
Payment
Facilities First
prefers payment through PayPal with a confirmed address. For buyers who
are not PayPal members, we will accept business checks subject to
clearing or USPS Money Order. We regret that we are unable to accept
personal checks. For International customers we can only accept payment
via PayPal.
If full payment is not RECEIVED and within 3 days of auction close and in addition, checks must be funded immediately, Facilities First
reserves the right to cancel the transaction and sell the item to
another interested party. A Non-Paying Bidder alert will be filed.
Facilities First
will invoice the appropriate sales tax if required. Provision of a
valid resale certificate or tax-exempt certification with payment may
exempt buyers from sales tax.
Shipping
If shipping and handling are offered by Facilities First,
for the item(s) listed in this auction, the terms of proposed shipping
and handling will be outlined in the Item Description and/or in the
"Shipping, Payment Details and Return Policy" sections of the eBay
listing. If we offer shipping, a small handling fee will be included
for labor and packaging materials etc. over and above the calculated
shipping costs. Facilities First may ship via FedEx, UPS, or United States Postal Service. Please note that Facilities First
reserves the right to substitute an equivalent service from another
carrier to better meet the needs of a particular item. Due
to the revised pick-up date this item must be out of it's current
facility by May 26, 2008. Also see revised payment requirements.
If
the items for sale are too large and/or heavy for the carriers listed
above, the Item Description will state "Local Pickup Preferred" and/or
"Freight Shipping." If local pickup is not possible, Buyer is
responsible for both shipping arrangements and packing expenses. Facilities First
may include an additional quote for boxing and/or palletizing in the
Item Description. If additional preparations are required (i.e.
crating), Buyer is solely responsible for costs for those additional
requirements. Facilities First may be able to provide the
contact information of a logistics provider to assist the Buyer with
packing and freight shipment arrangements. Please contact Facilities First at sales@facilitiesfirst.com to request this information. All shipping arrangements must be made in advance in coordination with Facilities First’s scheduled pickup calendar.
If the Item Description states "For Local Pickup Only", Facilities First WILL NOT PREPARE this item for transport. All handling will be the responsibility of the Buyer.
Items listed by Facilities First are stored at locations of other businesses. Facilities First requests that Buyers contact Facilities First within 24 hours of auction close to confirm payment and pickup or shipping arrangements. If an item is to be picked up, Facilities First reserves the right to charge a $500 fee plus per diem storage charges (up to 15%
of listing price per day) if the buyer or his/her shipping/handling
company/representative is not present at the pickup day and time
specified in the listing or as otherwise agreed to in advance by Facilities First. Failure to pick up an item within 11 days of the close of the auction will result in the cancellation of the transaction and forfeiture of all payment. Only if we are able to resell the item will Facilities First refund your payment-less $1000
to cover our expenses PLUS the difference between the new final sales
price and the previous one if lower than the original winning bid.
Returns
Facilities First
and Seller, together do our best to present accurate, detailed
information about every item listed. If you have any questions, please
email us before placing your bid.
All Facilities First auction items are sold "as-is." Because our items are sold largely on behalf of private companies or public corporations, Facilities First is not able to accept returns.
Bid Cancellation
If you have inadvertently placed a bid or otherwise are unable to abide by terms of our listing, Facilities First
may agree to cancel your transaction at their discretion if contact
with Facilities First is made within one 24 hour business day of the
original auction end date and time. In all instances, a minimum $1000
fee will be assessed to accommodate other lost opportunities, lost time
and money on the part of Facilities First and the selling entity. We
appreciate your understanding of this matter.
