We are proud to offer superior products at the least possible price because we believe that quality and affordability can actually go hand in hand.

REGISTRATION & IDENTIFICATION: At the time of registration, we collect information about you to verify who you are before you can bid. We collect credit card information to ensure that you are a qualified buyer. All bidders must be of legal age to bid.

House 2 Home Auctions & Liquidations will not accept any responsibility for any loss or damage in whatever manner, howsoever caused, resulting from your disclosure to third parties of personal information.

PAYING FOR YOUR PURCHASES: There is no cost to register for an auction. A $1 USD charge will be billed during your first registration to ensure the card used is valid which will come off your card in a few days. Your credit card will not be charged unless you win and do not pay within the pickup period. When an auction closes, if you are the winner, you must attend during the allotted Pick up time frame where you may pay cash, Visa, Mastercard or Debit. If you do not pick up during the allotted time, we will charge your credit card with the winning bid amount, plus applicable Buyers Premium and taxes, and the first day's storage fee as stated in terms of the auction. 

BUYERS PREMIUM: Online Auctions are subject to a 15% Buyers Premium. A buyers premium also known as the buyers portion of the commission is a fee added to your bid amount. Be sure to factor the BP into your bids when bidding. For example, if you bid $10, the BP is $1.50 additional so you are actually bidding $11.50. Taxes are applicable to the buyer's premium.

REVIEWING YOUR BIDS: During an auction, you can check the status of your bids at any time. Note that no bids can be withdrawn after the auction for any reason. All items are sold as is, where is, with all faults with no guarantee that any item is fit for a particular use. We strongly recommend attending the previews if available on any and all auctions. All bids are legally binding and enforceable in Nova Scotia, Canada.  

BIDDING NOTIFICATIONS: You can choose to be notified by e-mail during the auction if you have been outbid. Please note that outbid notifications are NOT sent out during the last two hours of the sale.  

REVISIONS and ERRATA: The materials appearing on House 2 Home Auction's website could include technical, typographical, or photographic errors. House 2 Home Auctions & Liquidations does not warrant that any of the materials on its website are accurate, complete, or current.  House 2 Home Auctions & Liquidations may make changes to the materials contained on its website at any time without notice. House 2 Home Auctions & Liquidations does not, however, make any commitment to update the materials.

REMOVAL: All items are sold in place. Buyers are responsible to remove items in a good workmanlike manner. Onsite auctions may have specific removal terms regarding that sale. You must bring any and all tools, equipment and labour required to disconnect and remove any items you purchase. Please plan ahead and come prepared. Any items not removed by the times shown will be deemed abandoned regardless of the price.  

WINNING NOTIFICATION & INVOICING: Bidders are responsible for checking their bid history at the completion of the auction. E-mail invoices are sent within 24 hours of the auction closing. Please check your spam folder for invoices. Stating that an email was not received does not absolve a winning bidder from the auction terms and conditions. By bidding, auction bidders agree to check their bid history when the auction closes to see if they had successful bids or not. 

PICKUPS & REMOVALS: Dates and times for pickup will be sent to you along with your invoice. We do not ship abandoned items. Do not bid if you are unable to have your items picked up. Any item not picked up during the posted pickup times will be considered an abandoned item. If you are unable to pick up during the allotted pickup times, email us in advance and we try our best to accommodate you. Items are sold as is, where is, with all faults. If you abandon an item, your credit card will be charged for the purchase price of the item plus the cost to remove, transport and dispose of the item.  

CONDITIONS OF ITEMS SOLD & OUR ONLINE CATALOGUE: Our best efforts are made to represent all items accurately in descriptions and photographs; however, all items are ultimately sold on an 'as is, where is basis, with all faults. We strongly encourage all bidders to personally verify the condition of each item during the scheduled preview times. No responsibility is assumed by House 2 Home Auctions & Liquidations or the seller for any errors or omissions. Prices referenced are MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail prices) and can be discounted significantly on the open market so do your own due diligence in researching values.

RESERVE: If an item is being sold with a reserve, it will be clearly marked and identified. For items sold with a 'reserve', you will be required to pay a minimum amount in order to win the item.  

SOFT CLOSE: Items close at regular intervals. To prevent a bidder from 'sniping', all bids made in the last minute of the auction will force an item to stay open for an additional 4 minutes. This will continue until all bidding has ceased.  

STRATEGY: Bidding is similar to eBay-type auctions, we recommend that ALL BIDDERS put in their maximum bid when placing a bid online. This does not mean you will have to pay the amount you bid; you only pay one bid more than the next highest bid, and only up to your maximum bid. The software system will play out the bids as you would at a live auction and only uses the funds required to beat out the under-bidder at the prescribed bid increment.  

CATALOGUE ERRORS & OMISSIONS: If a description does not match a picture in a lot, the description takes precedence. All items are sold on an 'as is, where is basis, with all faults. In the event, that an item was listed in error or an item can't be located during pick up for any reason, the bidder agrees that their maximum recourse is a full refund of the item in question and that all other items bid on remain binding.
