All payments for the Auction Item itself are made directly between the Seller and the Winning Bidder unless the parties separately arrange for a third-party escrow, title, closing, financing, or payment service.

“Entire Auction Period” means the Preview Period days and the Live Auction Period day as one. A Preview Period is typically 6 days and followed immediately by a 1-day (24 hour period) of the Live Auction Period when the Bidding takes place. The standard 6 days of the Preview Period can be extended by the Seller’s choice when creating their listing. There may be times when FFAW must adjust the Preview Period. Bidders should pay attention to the countdown on each auction to see if the Preview Days are different than the standard 6 days.
“Live Auction Period” means the bidding period during which binding bids may be placed. Unless otherwise stated in a listing, the Live Auction Period is the seventh day of a seven-day listing and lasts approximately 24 hours, subject to extensions, interruptions, or other actions permitted under these Terms.
In an extended or abbreviated Preview Period, the “Live Auction Period” is the LAST DAY of the Entire Auction Period and it is the day immediately following the final Preview Period day.
The Live Auction Period is a 24-Hour period that begins and ends between the hours of 10am and 10pm Central Time U.S.
“Non-Animal Category Site” means any FFAW website or category other than FlatFeeHorseAuction.com, FlatFeeCattleAuction.com, or another category expressly governed by the Animal Category Addendum.

“Preview Period” means the first six days of a standard seven-day listing, during which users may review the Auction Item, communicate with the Seller, conduct due diligence, arrange inspections, and discuss a possible transaction.
Binding auction bids are not ordinarily placed during the Preview Period.
“Seller” means a user who submits, publishes, or authorizes a listing for an Auction Item.
“Seller Cancellation Fee” means the $249 fee charged to a Seller, together with the applicable 3.5% credit card service fee, if the Seller cancels the auction, causes the auction to be cancelled for any reason, sells the Auction Item outside the Platform, prematurely ends the listing, or otherwise fails to allow the listing to complete its full auction period, except where FFAW determines that the cancellation was caused solely by a Platform malfunction, legal requirement, safety concern, or other circumstance not attributable to the Seller.
“Tier Fee” means a category-specific fee determined by the final Winning Bid amount, including the Horse Tier Fees described in Appendix A.
“Winning Bid” means the highest valid bid at the end of an auction, subject to any reserve price, bid removal, technical interruption, auction extension, cancellation, or other action permitted under these Terms.
“Winning Bidder” means the Bidder who submitted the Winning Bid.
“Winning Bidder Listing Fee” means the $249 fee charged to the Winning Bidder following a successful auction on a Non-Horse Category Site, together with the applicable 3.5% credit card service fee.

A standard seven-day auction generally consists of:
FFAW may offer a different duration or format if disclosed in the applicable listing.
Dates and times shown on the Platform are estimates and may be affected by time zones, extensions, technical issues, administrative action, or other circumstances.
All times shown on FFAW sites use U.S. Central Time.
The Platform’s official records and system clock control auction timing.
During the Preview Period:
Binding auction bids are not ordinarily placed during the Preview Period.
If a Seller sells an Auction Item outside the Platform, cancels the auction, causes the auction to be cancelled for any reason, or otherwise ends or prevents the listing from completing the full auction period, the Seller will be charged:
By submitting a listing and maintaining a payment method on file, the Seller authorizes FFAW and its payment processors to store and charge that payment method for a valid Seller Cancellation Fee and associated credit card service fee.
FFAW may waive or reduce a Seller Cancellation Fee at its sole discretion.
The Live Auction Period generally begins on the seventh day and lasts approximately 24 hours unless otherwise stated.
During the Live Auction Period:
Once the Live Auction Period begins, the Seller agrees:
Unauthorized withdrawal or failure of a Seller to complete a transaction to a valid, Winning Bidder of a successful auction may result in fees, Account restrictions, suspension, termination, or other remedies.
To discourage last-second bid sniping, if a valid bid is received during the final two minutes of the Live Auction Period, the auction timer may automatically reset to two minutes remaining.
This process may continue until no valid bid is received during the final two-minute period.
The auction does not end until the Platform indicates that bidding has closed.
Displayed countdown times may be affected by network delay, device delay, or technical conditions. The Platform’s server records, if available, are the Final Deciding Information used in a dispute.
Before bidding, a user must register a valid payment method.
Every registered user may be charged a $2 registration or card-verification charge.
No additional 3.5% credit card service fee applies to the $2 registration or card-verification charge unless otherwise disclosed before payment.
When a Bidder places a first bid on each independent auction, FFAW places a $257 authorization hold on the registered payment card.
The authorization hold is separate from the $2 registration or verification charge.
The authorization hold may be used to:
An authorization hold is not ordinarily a completed charge.
If the Bidder does not win, the hold will be released. The timing of the release depends on the card issuer and may take several Business Days or longer.
If the Bidder wins and does not default:
If the Winning Bidder defaults, FFAW may assess the Default Charge and applicable credit card service fee as described in these Terms.

If the reserve is not met:
FFAW does not guarantee that the Platform will display the reserve amount.
The Seller is solely responsible for:
By submitting a listing, the Seller represents and warrants that:
The Seller must promptly correct inaccurate information.
A Seller may be legally liable to a Buyer for misrepresentation, fraud, failure to disclose, breach of contract, title defects, or other misconduct.
FFAW does not independently verify Seller statements and is not responsible for the accuracy of listing content.
Buyers and Bidders are solely responsible for conducting their own investigation before bidding.
Due diligence may include:
Unless expressly stated otherwise, Auction Items are offered:
AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS.
A Bidder must not rely on FFAW for any representation concerning:
All material listing information is supplied by the Seller.
FFAW does not guarantee that an Auction Item will meet a Buyer’s expectations or intended use.
The Platform may use an open and transparent rating, review, comment, or viewing system.
Registered users may be able to view:
Users must not submit content that is:
FFAW may moderate, remove, restrict, or preserve content at its discretion.
FFAW does not endorse or guarantee the accuracy of user-generated ratings, comments, or reviews.
Publishing a standard listing on a Non-Animal Category Site is currently free unless otherwise disclosed.
A Seller may nevertheless incur a Seller Cancellation Fee under these Terms. (See Above #2. Definitions / “Seller Cancellation Fee”).
Following a successful Non-Animal auction, the Winning Bidder will be charged:
The applicable service fee is included in the total amount displayed or approved for payment.
FFAW does not charge a percentage commission on the purchase price of an Auction Item on any Category Sites at this time.
The Winning Bidder Listing Fee paid to FFAW is separate from the amount paid to the Seller for the purchase of the auction item.
If a Seller cancels the auction, causes the auction to be cancelled for any reason, sells the Auction Item outside the Platform, prematurely ends the listing, or otherwise fails to allow the listing to complete its full auction period, the Seller will be charged:
FFAW may waive or reduce the Seller Cancellation Fee at its sole discretion, including when the cancellation results solely from a Platform malfunction, legal requirement, safety concern, or another circumstance not attributable to the Seller.
If applicable, a defaulting Winning Bidder may be charged:
If the Winning Bidder and Seller have not made contact within TWO HOURS after a successful auction has closed, the Seller MUST contact BidderDefault@FlatFeeAuctionWorld.com immediately to inform us of the situation and any possible Bidder Default that might be suspected.
After 12 HOURS of NO CONTACT after the auction ends, the Winning Bidder will be considered IN DEFAULT and subject to the $500 Default Charge.
Buyers and Sellers may negotiate their own payment, delivery, inspection, closing, transportation, and other transaction terms, provided those terms do not violate law or these Terms.
FFAW is not responsible for negotiated terms between users.
If FFAW elects to refund a Winning Bidder Listing Fee, the associated 3.5% credit card service fee will also be refunded and will not be retained.
Seller Cancellation Fees and Default Charges are non-refundable unless FFAW determines otherwise or a refund is required by law.
This Section 17.8 applies only to Non-Animal auctions and does not apply to horse, cattle, or other auctions governed by the Animal Category Addendum.
If a Non-Animal auction concludes successfully with a valid Winning Bid and any applicable Reserve Price has been met, the Seller is obligated to complete the transaction with the Winning Bidder in accordance with these Terms.
If the Seller subsequently refuses or fails to complete the transaction for reasons attributable to the Seller, and FFAW refunds the Winning Bidder’s Listing Fee as a result, FFAW may assess a Seller Default Fee of $249, plus the applicable 3.5% credit card service fee, for a total of $257.72.
The Seller Default Fee is intended to compensate FFAW for the Listing Fee revenue refunded as a result of the Seller’s failure to complete a successful Non-Animal auction. It is separate from the Seller Cancellation Fee applicable when a Seller fails to allow an auction to complete its Entire Auction Period.
Before assessing a Seller Default Fee, FFAW will review the circumstances to determine whether the failure to complete the transaction was attributable to the Seller.
A Seller Default Fee will not be assessed when FFAW determines that the failure resulted from a Winning Bidder default, Platform malfunction, legal restriction, or another circumstance beyond the Seller’s reasonable control.
By submitting a Non-Animal Auction Listing and expressly accepting the Seller Default Fee acknowledgment in the listing form, the Seller authorizes FFAW and its payment processor to charge the applicable Seller Default Fee and associated credit card service fee to the payment method securely maintained on file.
Seller Default Fees will be assessed and processed manually following FFAW’s review of the circumstances. FFAW may waive or reduce the fee when appropriate, subject to applicable law.
Nothing in this section relieves the Seller of any contractual obligations owed directly to the Winning Bidder.
FFAW does not process or collect the purchase price paid for an Auction Item.
The Winning Bidder must pay the Seller directly.
Unless otherwise agreed to between the Seller and Winning Bidder, payment should typically occur or begin within 48 HOURS after auction close for Non-Animal auctions.
Animal auction transaction payments should typically occur or begin within 7 DAYS after auction close IF an inspection was required or agreed to by the parties involved.
NOTE that using a Third Party Title Transfer company, paying off Liens, and some other events will require extension of the 48 Hour payment rule. This is why contact and discussions must occur IMMEDIATELY AFTER the successful auction ends.
If the Winning Bidder and Seller have not made contact within TWO HOURS after a successful auction has closed, the Seller MUST contact BidderDefault@FlatFeeAuctionWorld.com immediately to inform us of the situation and any possible Bidder Default that might be suspected.
After 12 HOURS of NO CONTACT after the auction ends, the Winning Bidder will be considered IN DEFAULT and subject to the $500 Default Charge.
The parties may use a third-party:
FFAW is not responsible for the acts, omissions, fees, solvency, security, or performance of any third-party service.
Users should independently verify any payment instructions.
FFAW is not responsible for losses caused by wire fraud, payment redirection, impersonation, phishing, or fraudulent instructions exchanged outside the Platform.
After an auction, the Seller and Winning Bidder are solely responsible for:
FFAW does not guarantee that either party will complete the transaction.
A Winning Bidder is in default if the Winning Bidder:
If a Winning Bidder defaults, FFAW may:
By registering to bid and providing a payment method, the Bidder authorizes FFAW to charge the Default Penalty or Default Charge and associated credit card service fee when a valid default occurs.
If the Winning Bidder and Seller have not made contact within TWO HOURS after a successful auction has closed, the Seller MUST contact BidderDefault@FlatFeeAuctionWorld.com immediately to inform us of the situation and any possible Bidder Default that might be suspected.
After 12 HOURS of NO CONTACT after the auction ends, the Winning Bidder will be considered IN DEFAULT and subject to the $500 Default Charge.
The parties agree that damages caused by a default may be difficult to calculate at the time these Terms are accepted. The Default Penalty or Default Charge is intended as liquidated damages and not as a punishment, subject to applicable law.
If any portion of a collected Default Penalty or Default Charge is paid to the Seller, the amount paid may be reduced by 3.5% to account for credit card processing expenses associated with collecting or remitting the penalty.
Nothing in these Terms guarantees that FFAW will collect a Default Penalty or Default Charge or remit any amount to a Seller.
A Seller may be in default if the Seller:
FFAW may:
FFAW is not responsible for enforcing the Seller’s contractual obligations to the Winning Bidder.
If a Seller refuses or fails to complete a successful Non-Animal auction transaction for reasons attributable to the Seller, FFAW may assess the Seller Default Fee described in Section 17.8 of these Terms.
The fee is $249 plus the applicable 3.5% credit card service fee ($257.72 total) and may be charged to the Seller’s authorized payment method on file following FFAW’s manual review of the circumstances.
The Seller expressly acknowledges and authorizes this potential charge when submitting a Non-Animal Auction Listing through the Platform. This Seller Default Fee does not apply to auctions governed by the Animal Category Addendum.
A Seller is eligible for a Re-Run of their auction listing if:
The Exact Same Listing with a lower Reserve Price, if applicable, may be run up to SIX TIMES in the next 12 months for no fee (other than the same, original applicable Sales Cancellation Fee and other Terms & Conditions) by the same Seller as long as the ad Listing meets the criteria above and the Seller waits at least 2 weeks from the end of its last Auction Period before the Start Date of the new Re-Run.
