While we may provide pricing, transfer, and other guidance in our Services, such guidance is solely informational and you may choose not to follow it.

Buyer Failing to Pay for a Winning Auction!

If you win something at an auction, you are legally bound to pay the agreed price once the auction ends on Harbor Shopper’s. You’re liable for the deposit on auction day and the rest of the purchase price, plus fees, by the completion deadline (typically 10 days after the auction).

If you can’t pay the deposit, you will face legal consequences. Harbor Shoppers and seller will demand that you pay the amount specified in your contract. It’s hard to fend off this demand, considering that you already agreed to the terms simply by participating in the auction and you agreed not to dispute this claim from Harbor Shoppers and the seller. 

If you can’t pay the remaining purchase price by the completion date, you may be served with a Notice to Complete. This legal document demands that you complete the purchase within a given time frame, typically 10 business days.

If the deadline comes and goes, you’ll most certainly lose your deposit. You will also face financial penalties, including having to pay the seller for damages. These penalties stem from the following costs:

The seller may incur more fees for having to sell the item again.

It may cost the seller more to hold onto the item while waiting for it to sell. 

Previous marketing and storage expenses will be at the bidders expense for failing to pay.

The item may depreciate in value after you agree to purchase it so this loss will also be the bidders expense.

The seller risks a lower winning bid the second time around.

Depending on the terms of your auction contract, you may have to cover these costs if you attempt to back out of your winning bid. You may even be charged interest every day until the item sells to someone else.

Harbor Shoppers has a zero tolerance for bidders making false bids. Do not bid if you are not willing to pay. You will be responsible for all expenses of an auction won by you the bidder and did not fulfill your commitment to purchase the item. 

Harbor Shoppers has the right to resell the item and collect expenses, losses and damages received by the bidder not full filling their commitments. These laws will be governed by the USA.

Auctions with Reserves

Some sellers may wish to put a reserve price that is not disclosed to the bidders at the time of the auction. The reserve price will not be shared but the seller can adjust the reserve price until it is reached. Once reached the seller is bound to sell the product for that price unless Harbor Shoppers decides to cancel the sale. If the auction has a reserve price, the auction can be extended up to two months from the starting bid date and can only be extended up to one week once the reserve is reached. This allows for the people interested in the item to get enough interest so they can purchase the product. 

For example: If auction is ending on a certain date but the reserve is not hit and it sows the auction has ended the auction can be extended allowing bidders to bid to reach the seller’s reserve price. The seller will then have time to adjust the reserve price down to let the item sell.

Arbitration Procedures

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator should apply the terms of the User Agreement as a court would.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement to Arbitrate, any part of it, or of the User Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of the Agreement to Arbitrate or User Agreement is void or voidable.

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s site at http://www.adr.org. In addition to filing this form with the AAA in accordance with its rules and procedures, you must send a copy of the completed form to us at the following address to initiate arbitration proceedings: WCS Holdings LLC- 5304 Yacht Haven Grande, Suite 104, St. Thomas, USVI 00802.

The arbitration shall be held in the Territory of the U.S. Virgin Islands, District of St. Thomas and St. John or at another mutually agreed location.
