Your Agreement.
You acknowledge and agree that a bid or a
request to buy any Product is a legal offer to buy the Product. Once
LuxeBidder.com accepts your offer, you are obligated to complete the
transaction as accepted by LuxeBidder.com. Accordingly, when you bid
on a Product on LuxeBidder.com, you enter a legally binding contract
in which you express intent to purchase the Product at the proposed
bid price. Failure to do so in a timely manner may result in
termination of your LuxeBidder.com customer account and other
possible actions taken by LuxeBidder.com to enforce your obligations.
You acknowledge that not fulfilling these obligations may be legally
actionable.
6.2 Listing Page.
Each
Product has a Listing Page, which sets forth the Products description
and additional Checkout Terms, if applicable. You are responsible to
read the Listing Page, and your submission of a bid to buy a Product
constitutes your agreement that you have read and you understand the
Listing Page and any Checkout Terms.
6.3

Minimum Bid Increase, usually $1.00.
6.4 No Bid Shilling or Fraud.
Bid shilling occurs when someone bids on a Product for the

account.
6.5 Retracting Your Bid.
Once

the bid. For clarification, a bid placed on another, similar Product,
changing your mind, or inability to pay for the Product is not
grounds to retract a bid or to cancel your agreement to purchase a
Product. Valid grounds for bid retraction would be recognized in the
event that a recently entered bid is at least ten times the amount of
the item.s estimated retail value, as would occur if an extra digit
were accidentally inserted as the result of obvious typographical
error. To retract a confirmed bid, you must contact Customer Service
with your request and include the Product listing number and a valid
explanation.

Bid and Your Payment Obligation.

highest Bid Amount during the selling period of a Product, you will

your Product(s) at that highest Bid Amount. You are responsible for
keeping track of all of your highest Bid Amounts. No extensions on
these seven (7) days will be given. If you do not pay for your
