How it works?

1. Bidding / Use of the AutoClick


Users can bid in two ways online. Bids can be placed by clicking on the relevant bid buttons, or can be placed
automatically by a AutoClick. The AutoClick assists bidders in being able to bid on an auction even if they are not online at that time. The AutoClick automatically submits bids according to the specifications set in advance by the user. The user can read about how the  AutoClick operates in the “Help” section. The user is prohibited from using bidding software not authorized by OBXmania, and doing so will result in immediate disqualification from use (see clause 2: Eligibility and the Acceptable Use Policy).

2. How the Auctions Work.

With each bid placed the price of the item on which the user is bidding increases by the amount specified. A bid submitted  by the user constitutes willingness of a user to enter into a binding contract with OBXmania and in the event of a  successful finishing of an auction, the claim to receive a purchase offer for the item of the auction under the conditions  set out in the related auction. A contract to purchase the item does not come into effect until the auction is finished  and the last bidder has followed all the steps as set forth in clause number 6.  Each new bid resets the ‘remaining time’ for an auction up to, but not above, the displayed countdown reset value  (usually, 10, 15 or 20 seconds). The one exception to this rule is when two Autoclicks bid against one another. For more  information, please consult the ‘Help’ section. The auction ends when the remaining time reaches zero. The user who was  the last to bid then wins the auction. All other bids placed on the item expire and will not be credited back to the  user's account or be eligible for a refund. The last bidder is determined based on the records in OBXmania's database and  OBXmania's decision regarding who is the last bidder shall be final (save in the case of manifest error).


3. Acceptance of the Win / Payment

After an auction has ended, the last bidder (“winner”) must go to “My OBX”. Here, information such as total price
(including shipping costs) and payment options will be displayed. The user must actively confirm and pay the total price  (end price plus shipping costs) for the win by following the steps indicated on that page or elsewhere on the website.  Once the winner has clicked on the confirmation button the win is accepted. If an auction win has not been confirmed and  paid within 21 days of the auction end date, OBX reserves the right to withdraw the offer to conclude a contract and the  winner’s right to pay for and receive delivery of an item will be permanently revoked. All bids placed in that auction  expire and are non-refundable. The user must pay the total price when confirming the win. After confirming the win and  paying the amount due, the winner will receive a confirmation e-mail. The item will not be sent to the user until the total price has been paid to OBX. A similar requirement for delivery is  that all bids purchased and used by the user have been properly paid for. Should bids that have already been purchased and  used not have been paid for, payments received shall be viewed as payment toward the bids not yet paid for, and we reserve  the right to retain the item purchased at auction until all bids and the total price have been paid for in full. OBXmania  reserves the right to charge the winner reasonable storage charges for items not paid for. An invoice containing the auction price and shipping costs will be sent to the user by OBXmania once delivery has been  arranged.
