SDSCI – Auction Program Rules & Regulations
San Diego Chapter of Safari Club International (hereinafter SDSCI) is a Section 501(c)(3), non-profit membership organization. Our members are conservationists who hunt. Our mission is conservation of wildlife, education of the public, and advocacy for hunting and hunter's rights. SDSCI appreciates the support of its donors and members in helping to further its programs and goals. Auction revenue funds a great portion of SDSCI's operating budget. The majority of the dollars raised goes to support SCI Foundation’s conservation and education programs and for protection of the hunter. The term “auction” refers to silent auction & live auction.
Items donated to SDSCI and amounts paid to SDSCI as part of the auction may qualify as charitable deductions. No portion of any SDSCI auction purchase is eligible for a tax deduction unless it is an auction item sold for the benefit SDSCI. If an auction item is sold for the benefit of SDSCI, the purchaser may be eligible for a charitable deduction for only that portion of the payment that is over the item’s fair market (or retail) value. All auction items are donated to SDSCI unless otherwise noted. Refer to IRS Publication 1391, Deductibility of Payments Made to Charities Conducting Fund Raising Events and consult your tax advisor for information about charitable deductions.
Any exceptions to these Auction Program Rules & Regulations must be reviewed and accepted by the SDSCI Auction Committee and SDSCI Board of Directors.

SDSCI – Auction Buyer Policy
SDSCI offers donated hunts and items to its members at official SDSCI events through live auctions, silent auctions and targeted drawing. SDSCI’s policy for hunts or items acquired by members at auction or through a targeted drawing:
1. SDSCI offers hunts, art, jewelry, firearms and other tangible items for bid during live and silent auctions or for targeted drawing. All items are transferred as is. All valuations are provided by donors and all descriptions are based on information provided by third parties and SDSCI shall in no event be held responsible for their accuracy. SDSCI does not make implied or expressed warranties or representation of any kind, nor does SDSCI deem to have made any representation or warranty of the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition of any item. No statement in the SDSCI publications, brochures or in the bill of sale or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty, representation or assumption of liability by SDSCI. Any written warranties with respect to the items purchased are those solely and expressly supplied by the manufacturer or donor of that item or hunt. Although third parties sometimes provide appraisals with items such as jewelry, SDSCI does not verify or warrant their accuracy or origin. Appraisals are the result of subjective valuations and estimates of value and quality can vary markedly between competent and reliable appraisers. The provision of an appraisal does not represent a guarantee of value. Furthermore any written or visual presentation done or offered by third parties does not necessarily reflect the opinion or attitude of SDSCI.
2. The successful bidder (or “purchaser”) of an item (whether through a live auction, silent auction or targeted drawing) will immediately sign a Buyer’s Agreement. The Buyer’s Agreement will be brought to where the purchaser is sitting for signature and the bidder/purchaser will retain one copy at that time. For silent auctions, the Silent Auction Bid Sheet or Silent Auction Sealed Bid Form is considered a Buyer’s Agreement of the purchaser to accept the indicated item and pay the bid amount. Purchaser’s signature on the Buyer's Agreement and the Silent Auction Bid Sheet or Silent Auction Sealed Bid Form demonstrate that the purchaser acknowledges that the agreement is a legal and binding contract to accept the item and pay the accepted bid amount. Any changes, deletions or additions to the description printed on the Buyer’s Agreement, which are agreed to by the purchaser and an authorized representative of the donor, must be noted and signed by both parties in order to be recognized as part of the auction purchase.
3. All auctions are final and there will be no exchanges or refunds on items or hunts. SDSCI has made every effort to ensure the quality of donated items or hunts. However, SDSCI does not guarantee the satisfaction of the donor or the purchaser in any case. In reference to hunt donations, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to contact the hunt donor immediately and make all necessary arrangements for hunt dates and the application for any necessary paperwork for licenses and /or permits. Failure to make necessary arrangements may constitute forfeiture.
4. Although SDSCI makes reasonable efforts to list all extra and ancillary expenses not included in hunt, travel, service and other items, lists of expenses in auction item descriptions should not be considered exhaustive or definitive and SDSCI will not be held responsible for their completeness or accuracy. Such ancillary expenses can include, but are not limited to; travel and transfer expenses, taxes, license and documentation fees, trophy fees, lodging and meals, and gratuities among others. The amounts of additional expenses listed in auction item descriptions are approximations and are subject to change without notice. Some ancillary expenses may be omitted from the item description. Bidders should contact relevant donors before bidding for additional and updated information about expenses one can expect to incur in taking a hunt or trip or in using a service or item.
5. All tangible items are subject to local sales tax.
