The special nature of on-line auctions warrant additions/amendments as follows:
1. Descriptions are intended to be as accurate as possible and whilst every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, they are of our opinion only and GWRA does not accept liability for errors or omissions. Unless indicated otherwise, items will be at least in good condition. 2. If you are not registered with GWRA, do so by telephone or email and provide full name, address and telephone number beforehand. Bidding will be accepted by email and must provide at least your surname and post code. Alternatively, up to 5.00pm on block closing day, you may bid by telephone using 01684 773487 or if engaged, 07816 222161. All bids will be acknowledged and you will be assigned a unique bidder number that only GWRA and yourself will know. Should you bid and lead with any item, this unique number will show next to the leading bid and will enable you to see whether you are the leading bidder or not. 3. Every effort will be made to keep bids up to date, however, even email can be delayed but provided the time-stamp is before block end, they will be accepted after close time. Therefore, the absolute final results will not be confirmed and 'locked' until 10.00am on the morning following each block. Telephone and postal bidders are asked not to contact us before this time to check results. 4. Winning Bidders will be notified of Postage & Packing of lots. This will be charged as extra and items will only be sent using a postal service that includes insurance. This cost will be borne by the purchaser. Minimum service will be ‘Signed For’ with a minimum charge of £2.95 (more for bulkier items). For invoices over £39 the service will be 'Special Delivery' with a minimum charge of £5.95 (more for bulkier items). If neccessary, parcels will be sent via Standard Parcels with appropriate insurance, cost determined after the sale. Note: The standard ‘Proof Of Posting’ method will not be used because tracking is not available for this service. We will not be liable for loss or damage in the post and any claims for such will be the purchasers’ responsibility. However, we will provide the appropriate assistance including documents pertaining to posting. These charges do not include VAT which will be added at the standard rate. 5.
