SCINW – Auction Program Rules & Regulations
SCI is a Section 501(c)(4), non-profit membership organization and SCINW is a local chapter of that national 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. SCINW appreciates the support of its donors and members in helping to further its programs and goals. Auction revenue funds a great portion of SCI’s and SCINW's operating budget. All of the dollars raised go to support SCI's and SCINW’s mission of conservation, education programs, and protection of the hunter. 30% of the net proceeds raised at this auction will be sent to SCI to support their work at a national level. The remaining 70% will be used for local projects and to fund the chapter’s annual operations. The term “auction” refers to silent auction. live auction and online auction.
Items donated to SCINW and amounts paid to SCINW as part of the auction do not qualify as charitable deductions. SCINW is not a qualified charitable organization.
Any exceptions to these Auction Program Rules & Regulations must be reviewed and accepted by the SCINW Banquet Committee and then approved by the SCINW Board of Directors.

1. You or your representative (designated individual must have written, notarized authorization by you stating maximum bidding price for each of the items of interest) must be registered and present during the auction to be eligible to bid.

SCINW makes no warranty or guarantee, express or implied regarding any property or service sold at auction including, but not limited to, any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability. Values listed are as stated by donors and are not warranted by SCINW.
3. All items auctioned (whether goods or services) have been acquired or obtained by SCINW from third parties. The purchaser acknowledges that the items have not been inspected by SCINW and that the purchaser is advised, in the case of firearms, knives, bows, bullets or other weapons, to secure a competent inspection and test of the goods before use.

For buyers at the auction location, the buyer must sign the Buyer's Agreement and one copy will be given to the buyer.

The high bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser; the auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion to determine the successful bidder in any auction. At each live auction, there will be pre-designated bid spotters in the audience, and it is the responsibility of the bidder to direct bids to the nearest spotter. The auctioneers and spotters will make every attempt to acknowledge all desired bids, but SCINW is not responsible for any missed bids or bids that fail to be executed.

All signatures on Buyer's Agreements, Silent Auction Bid Sheets and Silent Auction Sealed Bid Forms, and "I accept" with payment for online purchases, are legal and binding. SCINW will not recognize changes, additions or deletions to any auction description agreed to by the buyer and donor unless such changes are noted on the Buyer's Agreement and signed by the buyer and an authorized representative of the donor, or in the case of online buyers, noted in an electronic writing exchanged between the buyer and an authorized representative of the donor.

Any items not removed by the end of the banquet or for which arrangements for removal have not been made will be shipped COD to the winning bidder/purchaser, who also shall pay to SCINW an additional 10% handling surcharge. Any bidder/purchaser who leaves his/her purchases at the banquet does so at his/her own risk. SCINW is not responsible for any item not removed from the Convention by the winning bidder/purchaser. See section 19 below for details regarding firearms.

The export of “worked” elephant ivory for non-commercial or personal uses is allowed under U.S. law, but requires a CITES permit and must have been imported legally. Most hunting trophies have come into the U.S. under permits that prohibit sale, and cannot be sold. Export of “raw” ivory is not allowed for any purpose.
21. The terms and conditions set forth in the Auction Buyer Policy and the Auction Hunt Policy are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The purchaser’s acceptance of the Buyer’s Agreement or Silent Auction Bid Sheet signifies and guarantees that the purchaser has read and understands these Auction Program Rules and Regulations, the Auction Buyer Policy and the Auction Hunt Policy, and the purchaser accepts and agrees to completely abide by and be legally bound by all the terms, conditions, rules and regulations for the Auction Program.
SCINW – Auction Buyer Policy
SCINW offers donated hunts and items to its members at official SCINW events through live auctions and silent auctions of designated items. SCINW’s policy for hunts or items acquired by members at auction is as follows:
1. SCINW offers hunts, art, jewelry, firearms and other tangible items for bid during live and silent auctions. All items are transferred as is. All valuations are provided by donors and all descriptions are based on information provided by third parties and SCINW shall in no event be held responsible for their accuracy. SCINW does not make implied or expressed warranties or representation of any kind, nor does SCINW deem to have made any representation or warranty of the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition of any item. No statement in the SCINW 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 SCINW. 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, SCINW 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 SCINW.
2. The successful bidder (or “purchaser”) of an item (whether through a live auction or silent auction) 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 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 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. SCINW has made every effort to ensure the quality of donated items or hunts. However, SCINW 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 banquet, SCINW reserves the right to pursue all legal remedies available to it. SCINW may undertake internal actions, which could result in sanctions including, but not limited to, suspension of purchaser’s membership or expulsion from SCINW.
5. Although SCINW 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 SCINW 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 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 and such terms and conditions are incorporated herein by reference.
