For those items that are actual auction items:
Info regarding how payments will be processed, and how merchandise will be shipped to the highest bidder:
All winning bidders will be sent a confirmation email. It will take us approximately five to seven business days to close the auction items and process all the credit cards. If you are the highest bidder, your credit card will be billed. Once Beach Bum CARES has processed the payment, you will be sent an email confirmation. Please be sure to read our auction payment and shipping policies below.
Beach Bum CARES AUCTION POLICY & SHIPPING INFORMATION
All items are sold "as is." No returns will be accepted and no refunds permitted. It is important that you take note of any restrictions, expiration dates, blackout dates, or special instructions because all sales are final.
Please make sure you are aware that all bids are final and cannot be removed or retracted. If you are the winning bidder, you will enter into a legal contract to purchase the item and will be considered the buyer of the item.
Travel Items: All hotel stays are for two people (unless otherwise noted); are subject to availability; cannot be extended beyond the specified expiration date; and require advance registration, notification of certificate use at the time of reservation, and presentation of original documentation upon arrival. A credit card may be required to confirm a reservation. Lost or stolen vouchers/certificates cannot be replaced. Taxes and any resort fees are the responsibility of the guest unless otherwise noted. Only those services listed in the item description are included. Incidentals will be the responsibility of the guest.
Beach Bum Vacation can assist bidders who purchased vacations and/or tours with extending their hotel stay and/or adding airport transfers. Feel free to contact Beach Bum Erica at erica@beachbumvacation.com or Beach Bum Lisa at lisa@beachbumvacation.com, and be sure to inform that you are the highest bidder of merchandise from the Beach Bum CARES online auction. Please note: Beach Bum Vacation is not able to assist with "air only" packages.
Since some blackout dates may apply (especially during holidays and special event periods), Beach Bum CARES recommends to our bidders that they have a few redemption dates in mind in order to avoid disappointment. We have noted all restrictions in the item descriptions that were provided to us. We do not have the ability to confirm the availability of specific dates or rooms prior to purchase.
PAYMENT: Each buyer must pay the full purchase price of each item purchased, including any applicable shipping costs, at the close of the auction. If you are the winning bidder, payment will be automatically charged to the credit card you provided in your “My Account” profile. Typically all items are processed within 7-10 business days. Winners with declined cards will have 3 business days to provide an alternate form of payment.
Your item will be shipped after the payment has been processed. You are responsible and liable for ensuring the accuracy of your shipping address; please double-check your "My Account" profile (even if you believe the information is correct) to confirm that your shipping address is 100% correct.
Shipping: Shipping charges will be calculated once the auction closes, and will be calculated based on the size of the item and the final destination zip code. Shipping fees reflect domestic shipping within the United States only. Shipping outside the United States will be calculated separately. International winners are responsible for all customs fees and import duties.
You are responsible and liable for ensuring the accuracy of your shipping address; please double-check your "My Account" profile (even if you believe the information is correct) to confirm that your shipping address is 100% correct. In the event that an alternate shipping address needs to be provided, winning bidders must notify Beach Bum CARES via email at info@beachbumcares.org no later than June 15, 2015.
Merchandise Items - In some cases merchandise will be shipped directly from our donor. Beach Bum CARES will mail winning bidders (via USPS) a copy of the auction agreement/donation documentation, which includes contact information for the merchandise donor. While Beach Bum CARES provides the donor with the winning bidder’s name and shipping address (which is the same address in your “My Account” profile), we recommend that the winning bidder follow up with the donor regarding delivery. Each donor will ship the merchandise using their preferred delivery carrier.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION - Although Beach Bum CARES is a nonprofit charity, bids are not tax-deductible as you are receiving a good or service in return for payment except for the amount that exceeds the fair market value of the item(s) you win. More information can be found on the IRS website.
