AHL Authentic Terms and Conditions

For the purpose of these Official Auction Rules and the Terms of Service set out below, "AHL Authentic" shall include the American Hockey League and Commerce Dynamics, Inc. Bidding on an item is an irrevocable offer to buy the item at the price in the bid, provided the bidder's offer is the WINNING BID at the close of the Auction. Each item is its own separate Auction. If a bid is received within five minutes of scheduled closing time, the auction is automatically extended by an additional five minutes. That means that as long as people are bidding within five minutes of each other, the Auction does not end. This rule is intended to prevent bidders from being locked out of an Auction due to a slow connection. The highest dollar amount bid at each Auction's close will be the WINNING BID for that Auction. The credit card of the person with the WINNING BID will be billed at Auction close. All items will be shipped within one to three business days of payment verification from the WINNING BIDDER. There will be a set fee for all items shipped. Set fees vary based on United States, Canada, or other International shipments. All fees will be listed in the item listing page. For any WINNING BID that requires shipping outside of United States, the WINNING BIDDER will be responsible for any and all additional shipping costs, tariffs, duties, customs, or any other fees associated with the shipping and receiving of the item. If the credit card is declined for any reason, AHL Authentic will attempt to contact the WINNING BIDDER via phone and/or e-mail. If AHL Authentic does not acknowledge a completed credit card payment, the next highest bidder may be offered the item. Auction closing times are approximate, and AHL Authentic reserves the right to close an Auction earlier or later than the scheduled time. AHL Authentic reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. AHL Authentic will exercise this right in situations including, but not limited to, bidders making a habit of winning auctions and not buying. Bid manipulation of any kind is expressly forbidden. No shill bidding is allowed. Bidders are prohibited from communicating with each other for the purpose of manipulating the final purchase price of an item. Bidders agree that all transactions in which they partake do not violate any applicable state, federal and/or international laws. Bidders agree to provide true and accurate information about themselves in the AHL Authentic registration form. All bids are final and not subject to cancellation once submitted. AHL Authentic does not assume responsibility for the content or the context of any listings. AHL Authentic is not responsible for bids not being processed or not being accepted due to technical difficulties. Bidders agree to refrain from 'spamming' (sending unsolicited commercial email to other bidders). Items are sold in "as-is" condition. Due to the unique nature of each item, all sales are final. All bids are made in increments and are subject to a minimum bid, as posted for each item. AHL Authentic keeps track of all unsuccessful bids. If a problem occurs with a WINNING BID in an open Auction, AHL Authentic may reinstate another bidder’s unsuccessful bid to WINNING BID status at the last bid price. It is a violation of law to make bids in a false name or with an invalid credit card, even if such a bid is initially accepted by the AHL Authentic software. Please be aware that even if you do not give AHL Authentic your real name, your web browser transmits a unique Internet address which can be used by law enforcement officials to identify you. Fraudulent bidders may be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Currently, both the FTC and the US Secret Service are responsible for investigating all Internet fraud cases. AHL Authentic may, at its sole discretion, terminate service should a bidder’s conduct fail to conform to these Official Auction Rules and Terms of Service. To report a violation of the AHL Authentic Rules, please contact AHL Authentic using the Contact Form.
