Iowa FNAWS Terms and Conditions 2025:
IOWA FNAWS – Auction Program Rules & Regulations
IOWA FNAWS 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. IOWA FNAWS appreciates the support of its donors and members in helping to further its programs and goals. Auction revenue funds a great portion of IOWA FNAWS's operating budget. The majority of the dollars raised goes to support IOWA FNAWS's conservation and education programs and for protection of the hunter. The term “auction” refers to silent auction, live auction and raffle.
Any bid made at an IOWA FNAWS auction, whether in person at a live auction, by phone, online or at a silent auction, constitutes an unconditional offer to buy the item in question at the price bid. Unless a higher and subsequent bid is made, your bid creates a binding contract of purchase, obligates you to sign the bid ticket or, in the case of a phone or online bid, authorizes the person who took the bid to sign on your behalf AND requires that the bid amount be paid prior to the close of the auction. In the event that the successful bid was made by phone or online, the bid price must be received before the close of the fifth business day after the close of the auction. For any purchase of more than $100,000, upon request, all issued check currently dated will not be deposited until the opening of the sixth business day after the close of the auction.
These Auction Program Rules and Regulations apply to auctions and raffles conducted for the benefit of IOWA FNAWS, in all instances where the auction or raffle is conducted for the benefit of IOWA FNAWS.
Any exceptions to these Auction Program Rules & Regulations must be reviewed and accepted by Show Management and, if necessary, the IOWA FNAWS Executive Board.
Any failure of compliance with the provision above will result in the addition of any costs incurred because of non-compliance, plus the addition of interest at the rate of 1 per month, or portion thereof, that payment is late. Auction items must be paid for by the close of Convention. Payments will be taken at the auction payment table during the Ladies Luncheon, Life Member Breakfast, and all evening auctions. Payments can be made by cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. If the winner of an auction refuses to pay the winning bid price plus any premiums required, the item shall be offered to the next highest bidder for the price he/she bid. If the next highest bidder declines the item or if the second highest bidder is unknown, the President shall dispose of the item at his/her discretion.
ONLINE BIDDING: All online bidders will be required to pay a 5% buyer’s premium with a $250 cap.
You will also be asked to provide the following information: Full Name, Email address, Address, Phone number, Credit card number, which an AVS is completed (Address Verification System) All purchases over the amount of $10,000 will require a call back from WSF Auction Team for verification.

IOWA FNAWS – Auction Buyer Policy
IOWA FNAWS offers donated hunts and items to its members at official IOWA FNAWS events through live auctions, silent auctions and the sale of raffle tickets for designated items. IOWA FNAWS’s policy for hunts or items acquired by members at auction or through a raffle program is as follows:
1. IOWA FNAWS offers hunts, art, jewelry, firearms and other tangible items for bid during live and silent auctions or for raffle. All items are transferred as is. All valuations are provided by donors and all descriptions are based on information provided by third parties and IOWA FNAWS shall in no event be held responsible for their accuracy. IOWA FNAWS does not make implied or expressed warranties or representation of any kind, nor does IOWA FNAWS deem to have made any representation or warranty of the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition of any item. No statement in the IOWA FNAWS publications, catalogs or brochures or in the bill of sale or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty, representation or assumption of liability by IOWA FNAWS. 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, IOWA FNAWS 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 IOWA FNAWS.
2. The successful bidder (or “purchaser”) of an item (whether through a live auction, silent auction or raffle) 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. IOWA FNAWS has made every effort to ensure the quality of donated items or hunts. However, IOWA FNAWS 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. If a purchaser fails to pay for any item prior to the close of the Convention, IOWA FNAWS reserves the right to pursue all legal remedies available to it. IOWA FNAWS may undertake internal actions, which could result in sanctions including, but not limited to, suspension of purchaser’s membership or expulsion from IOWA FNAWS.
5. Although IOWA FNAWS 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 IOWA FNAWS will not be held responsible for their completeness or accuracy. The amounts of additional expenses listed in auction item descriptions are approximations and are subject to change without notice. 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.
6. All tangible items are subject to local sales tax.
7. All of the terms and conditions set forth in the Auction Hunt Policy and the Auction Program Rules & Regulations are applicable to members purchasing items at auction or through raffle and such terms and conditions are incorporated herein by reference.
