You also agree to abide by all special instructions and to be bound by all conditions set out in the description. All items have no cash value.

10. Immediately following the close of the auction, you will get an email notifying you  the auction is over and what you won. As the winner, you are responsible for your items and paying for them within 3 days of the auction ending.  Priority will be place on time sensitive prizes first.

11. Auction items will only be released to the winning bidders once full payment has been received.

12. Unless otherwise indicated in the details section for the item, all items will be either sent to you via email, mailed, or picked-up by the winning bidder. If needed, I may consider doing a couple prize pick up days to help get prizes delivered faster, however if you cannot make either days, an east end pickup or a west end pickup, then it is your responsibility to make alternate arrangements.  The main office is located in Vars, ON.

13. If for any reason the winning bidder does not make contact within 3 days from the auction closing, the item will be offered to the next highest bidder.  If the winning bidder fails to make alternate arrangements with the administrator, for pick up – the auction item may also be offered to the next highest bidder.

15. Winning bidders may be required to produce a piece of government issued photo identification before receiving their auction item.

17. Help Ottawa Fur Kids, any volunteers and I, Micheline Masson, are not liable for any loss or injury sustained in conjunction with participation in this auction and/or the enjoyment of any product or service purchased through this auction. 

18. All I ask is that you remember this is for charity – 100% of the funds are for animals in need and the more money we raise, the more animals we can help.  If you are not interested in bidding on anything and just want to donate money, you can do that by simply sending an e-transfer to [email protected] *Please remember to pick a password I can easily guess or kindly send me the password in a separate email.

19. If you want to bid over the value of the item, you are more than welcome to as EVERY cent goes to the animals in our community who are in need.

20. By placing a bid on an item you have accepted all above terms as binding.

Thank you, and have fun!

Micheline

Please note: the funds raised from this online auction all go into a separate account and will be sent out to various local rescues as they are needed. You can visit the website to see where the funds have gone in the past. If you want to recommend a rescue, please do! Something I plan on focusing this year is a TNR program - this will allow us to help save lots of unwanted lives. Please support Adopt Don't Shop.
