By registering on or using the BIDSTONE platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform.
All bids placed on BIDSTONE are legally binding. By placing a bid, you enter into a contract to purchase the lot at your bid price plus applicable buyer's premium if your bid is the winning bid. Bids cannot be retracted once placed.
Winning bidders must pay their invoice within 48 hours of auction close. Failure to pay may result in account suspension and the lot being re-listed. Payment is via EFT to BIDSTONE's nominated bank account.
Items must be collected within the collection window specified for each auction. Collection details are provided only after payment is confirmed. BIDSTONE is not responsible for items not collected within the specified period.
BIDSTONE makes every effort to accurately describe items. All items are sold as described and as-is unless otherwise stated. Buyers are encouraged to review all photos and descriptions carefully before bidding.
Sellers warrant that they have the right to sell the items submitted and that descriptions are accurate. Sellers must deliver items as described once approved.
A buyer's premium is added to the winning bid price. Seller commission is deducted from seller proceeds. Rates are displayed on the invoice and may be updated by BIDSTONE from time to time.
BIDSTONE's decision on all auction matters is final. Disputes must be raised within 24 hours of auction close. BIDSTONE is not liable for any consequential or indirect losses.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.
