General Policies

The eZbidzs policies accessible throughout the Site are expressly incorporated by reference into these terms, and you should review each carefully. The procedures and guidelines contained below explain the auction process. The eZbidzs Privacy Policy governs the collection and use of user information on the Site. The FAQ provides additional detail on how the Services work.

 

Contractual Obligations

The auction process is a method in which the Site solicits offers from buyers for the sale of lots. By submitting bids, you are making a legal offer to buy the lot. Once a bid is accepted, a contract is created between the buyer and the Site for the sale and purchase of the lot in accordance with the terms disclosed at the time of the auction. By using the Services and bidding on a lot, or by using the 'Buy It Now' function, you agree to complete the transaction as described and fulfill any and all contractual obligations.

 

Access to Systems

You are prohibited from violating or attempting to violate the security of the Services, including, without limitation: (i) accessing data not intended for such user or logging onto a server or an account which the user is not authorized to access; (ii) attempting to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures without proper authorization; or (iii) accessing or using the Services or any portion thereof without authorization, in violation of these Terms or in violation of applicable law.

You may not use any scraper, crawler, spider, robot, or other automated means of any kind to access or copy data on the Site, deep-link to any feature or content on the Site, bypass our robot exclusion headers, or other measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Site.

You agree not to interfere with the Site, Services, or any transaction and agree not to use any device, software, or routine to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Services or any activity being conducted on or through the Services. You agree not to impose any unreasonably or disproportionately large load on eZbidzs 's systems or facilities. You agree not to put any material on the Site that contains any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots or any other computer programming routines that may damage, interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information. Violations of system or network security may result in civil or criminal liability. eZbidzs will investigate occurrences that may involve such violations and may involve, and cooperate with, law enforcement authorities in prosecuting users who are involved in such violations.

 

Bidding

Each eZbidzs bid (a "Bid") is a limited, non-transferable, license to place one bid on an eZbidzs auction. Bids have no monetary value; are not credited against the purchase price of products purchased on the Site; and may not be exchanged for money or any items of monetary value.

Due to the billing of charges, eZbidzs would like to advise all users to monitor their bidding practices. Repeated online bidding can incur high costs. Users should therefore pay attention to their bidding practices.

 

Fraud and Other Restricted Behavior

You acknowledge that in order to maintain fair and honest auctions, eZbidzs retains the right to monitor and enforce any fraudulent or malicious activity on the Site. You acknowledge that you have read what these activities include, but are not limited to, in these Terms, and you agree not to engage in any of these, or any other fraudulent or malicious activities. As stated herein, eZbidzs reserves the right to temporarily or permanently suspend any user account engaged or suspected to engage in any such activities.

You may not register and make bids under a false name or with an invalid credit card. Such fraudulent conduct is a violation of international laws. Fraudulent bidders may be reported to relevant countries and federal law enforcement agencies and eZbidzs will cooperate to ensure that violators are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

A bidder may not resell any product or service obtained through the Site and Services without prior written consent from eZbidzs, unless it is explicitly allowed in the product description of an auction. Moreover, a user may not use the products to create any investment scheme, commodities contract or pool or otherwise to use eZbidzs as a product delivery mechanism for a brokered or 'middleman' agreement or obligation. If it is discovered that a user is, in fact, reselling products obtained from eZbidzs, we reserve the right to suspend the account without further notice, voiding all auctions in which the user has participated. Additionally, the user may be required to compensate eZbidzs for any damages.

eZbidzs reserves the right to refuse any order you place with us. eZbidzs may, in its sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, geographic region, and/or orders that use the same phone number, billing and/or shipping address. In the event eZbidzs changes or cancels an order, eZbidzs will attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail, billing address and/or phone number provided at the time the order was made. eZbidzs reserves the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in its sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers, distributors and others who violate these Terms.

No user may permit or assist others to use the Services for any purpose other than that for which they are intended. A user shall not permit or assist others to abuse or fraudulently use the Services, including but not limited to the following:


  • Obtaining or attempting to obtain service by any fraudulent means or device with intent to avoid payment
  • Accessing, altering, or destroying any information of another eZbidzs user by any fraudulent means or device, or attempting to do so, or
  • Using Services so as to interfere with the use of eZbidzs network by other users or authorized users, intentionally or not, or in violation of the law or in aid of any unlawful act.


Each user acknowledges that eZbidzs 's network may only be used for lawful purposes. eZbidzs reserves the right to monitor all network activity. While using eZbidzs, each user agrees to refrain from the following prohibited acts.


  • Maintaining more than one account or maintaining control or influence over more than one account.
  • Infringing upon the intellectual property of eZbidzs, establishing a competing site, or otherwise copying or using the data on the Site for any reason other than bidding on products for the bidder's own use
  • Manipulate the bidding process by placing fictitious bids, colluding with other parties to create the illusion of volume ('marking the close' or 'painting the tape'), or engaging in any other disingenuous or fraudulent activity that undermines the integrity of the online market
  • Breaching eZbidzs 's policies
  • Attempting to harvest or otherwise collect information about users, including email addresses
  • Attempting to upload or download any computer virus
  • Attempting to transmit via email any unsolicited advertising, promotional materials, "junk mail", "spam", "chain letters", "pyramid schemes", or any other form of email solicitation to other users.
  • Attempting to communicate with other users to promote or provide instructional information about illegal activities, promote physical harm, or injury to any users.
  • Viewing and/or downloading or uploading pornographic pictures or stories.
  • Attempting to attack other people's internet connections, Web Sites or computers, or damage or deface anyone else's Web Site.

 

 

Collusion/Team Play

Any kind of collusion or team play is strictly forbidden on eZbidzs. By definition, this includes, but is not limited to, two or more members working together as a team, or creating the impression that there are more people involved and competing to win an auction than there actually are.

eZbidzs does not allow two members that know, or are associated with, each other to participate in the same auction. Two members participating in the auction are by definition engaging in team play, and automatically lose their right to purchase the Deal or receive any of their spent bids back. eZbidzs reserves the right to implement measures, determined by the sole discretion of eZbidzs, that automatically restrict associated accounts from participating in the same auctions.

We reserve the right to disqualify, in our absolute discretion, any users we suspect to be working in a team by voiding all their wins and freezing their accounts. No funds or Bids will be returned or transferred into other accounts. If a user is found to have violated these Terms, any free Bids provided to them and used, including those provided in the past, must immediately be paid for by the user at their current selling price.

 

Passwords/Equipment

You may not disclose your username and password to any third party, and you agree that you are solely responsible for any use of, or action taken under your account. Your password may be used only to access and use the Services. If your user credentials or password is compromised or otherwise disclosed, you must notify eZbidzs and change your password immediately in order to minimize your risk of loss. You are responsible for providing and maintaining all equipment necessary to use the Services, including, without limitation, computer hardware and software, modems, network or Wi-Fi connections and telephone service. Further, you are solely responsible for (a) maintaining the security of your personal information, including, without limitation, account and login information, passwords, and financial information; (b) all telephone and toll charges which may apply to your account depending on your location; and (c) any other charges resulting from the use of your account.

 

Investigation of Violations

We may investigate any violation of these Terms, our policies or guidelines, or any other complaints and take any action that we deem appropriate and reasonable under the circumstance to protect our systems, facilities, users and/or third parties. Our actions may include, but are not limited to, issuing warnings, suspension or termination of the Services or any user accounts, and/or removal of or disabling access to content hosted on eZbidzs 's systems. We reserve the right and have absolute discretion to remove or disable access, screen, or edit any content that violates these provisions or is otherwise objectionable. eZbidzs also reserves the right to report any activity that it suspects violates any law or regulation to appropriate law enforcement officials.

Registration with eZbidzs for Use

To use the Services, you must first register for an online user account, consisting of a username, password, credit card information, billing address, and other information as may be required by eZbidzs. You may register only once and may only have one account at eZbidzs for your personal use. Additionally, each household or "group of users associated with each other", determined by the sole discretion of eZbidzs, may not register or have control over more than two eZbidzs member accounts. If a single person is found to have or maintain control over several accounts on eZbidzs , or if a household or a "group of users associated with each other" is found to have or maintain control over more than two accounts on eZbidzs , all accounts will be immediately suspended, all auctions the accounts have participated in will be voided, and any Bids purchased will be removed without prior warning and without any form of compensation.

 

During the registration process, the user must choose a username. The username may not offend common decency or infringe upon the rights of third parties. The username may also not be misleading in any way or, in eZbidzs 's judgment, closely resemble the identity of an existing user. It is a condition of your use of the Services that all the information you provide through the Services is correct, current, and complete. You agree to maintain and promptly update your user account information to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, or eZbidzs has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, eZbidzs may suspend or terminate your account or access to the Services. If you abuse your user account, whether it harms a third party or eZbidzs, you may be disqualified and, if applicable, eZbidzs may notify applicable authorities of the possibility of a crime.

 

Accounts authorized to use the services cannot be transferred or used by anyone other than the authorized account holder. Use of this account by a person or persons not authorized by eZbidzs is strictly prohibited. No more than one log-in session or one authorized account user can be active at a time for any account. Except as otherwise permitted by the Auto bid (EBID) system, accounts which have been transferred in whole, part, or proxy bidding to other parties, or show other activity in violation of these terms, are subject to immediate termination. eZbidzs reserves the right to maintain logs of account activity and to use said logs for the purpose of detecting usage in violation of these terms.

 

eZbidzs reserves the right to at any time temporarily or permanently disqualify a user for violating these Terms. Users will be disqualified when, in eZbidzs 's reasonable opinion, a user has violated any law, regulation or equitable interest in favor of a third party, such as protecting users and the Service from manipulation. Examples of the foregoing include, but are not limited to, (i) honoring bids of users who have not paid for the Bids, (ii) the use of unauthorized bidding software, or (iii) establishing several user accounts for the same person. Moreover, eZbidzs reserves the right to cancel unauthorized eZbidzs accounts or accounts that have been inactive. Each user agrees not to hold eZbidzs responsible for any loss incurred as a result of such action.

 

Bid Purchasing for Online Bidding / Payment

All prices are quoted, and payments processed in United States dollars. The user is responsible for conversion rates and fees which may occur in case of a currency conversion done by their bank or payment processor.

 

eZbidzs Bids must be purchased by users prior to online bidding. Only registered users can submit the online bids, which can be purchased in packages (so-called 'Bid Packs') at the currently applicable prices, which can be viewed in 'My Dashboard' under 'Bids'. The Bids must be paid for in advance. When the Bids are purchased and deposited into the user's eZbidzs account, a contract for the purchase of the Bids materializes. The associated invoice is due immediately. If a user is suspended for whatever reason, all of their Bids will be forfeited and will not be refunded.

Users who have won an auction and paid for a product are not eligible for a refund on either Bid purchases, account activation fees, or product fees if their product has been shipped by the time of request.

 

Should a payment not be honored for a user, a returned payment fee will be charged. The user shall be solely responsible for these fees. eZbidzs reserves the right to block access to the user account until full payment is received by eZbidzs for the outstanding amount, including any fees due to returned payment, etc. eZbidzs may withhold any outstanding deliveries until it receives full payment. The user's bank may or may not charge the user an international payment fee in connection with a credit card payment on the eZbidzs site. It is the sole responsibility of the user to be familiar with the policies and practices of his or her bank for such fees. eZbidzs holds no responsibility for additional payment fees of any kind issued to the user by the user's bank.

Unused Bids are eligible for a full refund, minus the transaction fees (Card payments). Example, Aden purchases 100 Bids for $10 and Bids 10 times. All the remaining 90 Bids are eligible for a total refund of $9 (90 * $0.10). There are NO refunds of Bids purchased via Cryptocurrencies because of the nature of its volatility.

 

eZbidzs reserves the right to sell Bids at any discounted price to specific user groups for promotional purposes. All eZbidzs users understand that they may from time to time receive unique offers to buy discounted Bids and that other users may do so as well. Similarly, users may see different product pricing, based partly on the activity characteristics of that user. eZbidzs may issue any number of free bids to users or user groups as part of special promotions or for any other reasons at its discretion. eZbidzs reserves the right to, at its discretion, remove any sign up or other promotional Bids that have been added to a user's account for free at any given time without further notice.

 

Bidding / AutoBidder (EBID)

For online bidding, an individual bid can be submitted by clicking the "Bid Now" button, or by using the automated bidding tool called the 'AutoBidder (EBID)'. After the first Bid Pack purchase used Bids are no longer valid for refunds and it is deducted from the user's Bid balance accordingly.

The AutoBidder can assist bidders in being able to bid in an auction, even if the bidders are not online at that time. Only registered users can submit bids automatically with the AutoBidder. The AutoBidder   automatically submits bids when there is an option to place a bid. The user can read about how the AutoBidder operates in the 'Help' section.

 

When you book or add bids to your AutoBidder, if the auction is currently live, the first bid will be placed immediately unless you are currently the highest bidder.

 

eZbidzs does not guarantee the precision of the AutoBidder feature and eZbidzs may not be held responsible for any AutoBidder software errors of commission or omission. The user is prohibited from using any bidding software not authorized by eZbidzs; if the user does, in fact, use unauthorized software, it may result in immediate disqualification from eZbidzs 's systems and Service. eZbidzs will from time to time award all users who start using the Site with free Bids. The number of free Bids awarded or not awarded is determined solely by eZbidzs on an account-by-account basis.

A bid is registered and counted only when eZbidzs 's system registers the bid. A bid is not counted and valid when it is sent from the user's Web browser, but when eZbidzs 's servers receive and register the bid request.

 

It usually takes less than a second for a bid to be registered, however it may take up to several seconds or longer for eZbidzs to receive the bid if there is a delay in the network or if the system is under high stress. eZbidzs is not responsible for any delays that occur in bidding or in auctions. eZbidzs strives to make the eZbidzs timer clocks as accurate as possible. While eZbidzs believes that auction timers are very accurate, eZbidzs cannot and does not guarantee that the system, including the bidding clock, will always function reliably.

 

All bids are final. Winning bids and their associated fees are non-refundable.

To comply with fair and honest auction practices, eZbidzs will reschedule auctions that end prematurely due to severe third party or technical problems to a later time. In such events, where all bidders aren't able to participate normally in the auctions, eZbidzs will return all used Bids from such rescheduled auctions to all involved bidders.

 

Anti-Rapid Bidding System

Our website is equipped with what is called our “Anti-Rapid Bidding System”, to ensure fair-paly for all our users. This system is in placed to protect our users, bid process, and website from being tampered with by intrusion of bots, bad actors, and any other means that is not legitimate in the bidding process.

How does it work? The Anti-Rapid Bidding System works by placing 10 seconds delay restrictions on any user that bids on any product. For example, a user name Aden places a bid on product A. Aden cannot bid on product A again until 10 seconds has expired. He can however bid on any other product during that time frame.

 

Winning Limits

Each user may win the same item, in the same auction type, only once in a limited time period. The winning limit resets automatically once the period has passed from the end on the auction. The system will prevent users from placing bids on an auction if they have already won the same product during the period.

Furthermore, each user may win up to 50 auctions per week. Once a user has reached the 50 wins limit, the system will prevent them from placing bids on any auctions, and all booked AutoBidder will automatically be canceled. The weekly winning limit resets at 00:00 AST on the day of the week you created your account.

 

eZbidzs reserves the right to, from time to time, review the guidelines for any winning limits and may at any time under its sole discretion limit accounts from winning an excessive number of auctions. eZbidzs attempts to limit some auctions to users of comparable skill, as determined by eZbidzs, to enhance user experience and equal chances of winning auctions. In so doing, eZbidzs may limit which auctions are available to particular users based on any factors deemed appropriate by eZbidzs in its sole discretion, including experience of the user, historical success of the user, demographic factors, prior bidding and spending activity, and other factors. In particular, eZbidzs may limit certain auctions to less experienced or successful users in any manner eZbidzs deems appropriate to optimize the overall user experience of all eZbidzs users. You acknowledge that You may be, and you consent to being, excluded from auctions at eZbidzs 's discretion.

This limit is put in place to ensure that all users have a high quality of user experience.

 

Bid Expiration

Bids held in user accounts must be used within 365 days from the day that the Bids have entered the account through purchase, item exchange or auction win. If the Bids have not been used within that time, they will expire and be permanently removed from the account.

 

How the Auctions Work

With each bid submitted, the price of the item on which the user is bidding increases by $0.01-$0.00001, based on the product. A bid submitted by the user constitutes an offer from that user to eZbidzs to conclude a contract to purchase the item. A contract to purchase the item does not materialize until the auction is finished and the last bidder has followed all the steps provided for in this Section. The purchase contract will exist between eZbidzs and the user who has submitted the highest bid up until the point when the last bidder has submitted the last qualifying bid of the respective auction.

 

Each new bid resets the 'countdown time' for the auction. The countdown time for each of the auctions is shown on the auction details. The auction ends when no more bids are submitted within the remaining time stated. However, an auction may not end if anyone else except the highest bidder still has Bids booked on their AutoBidder. In the event of heavy network lag, the AutoBidder may place the bid with a slight delay with the system registering the bid 1+ seconds after the auction's countdown time. Such bid will be completely valid, provided that the bidder had booked his AutoBidder   within the auction's countdown time.

 

The user who submits the highest bid and is the last to bid wins the auction. All other Bids on the item expire and will not be refunded. The last bidder is determined based on the records in eZbidzs 's database and eZbidzs 's decision regarding the identity of the last bidder shall be final. If a bid is placed too late, does not reset the timer of an auction or is not correctly registered by the system, it is then invalid. Even though this bid may be the last bid on an auction, it is the last and highest valid bid on an auction that wins the auction.

 

An invalid bid is one where the auction timer is not reset after the bid has been placed. eZbidzs recommends its users to always bid at least 5 seconds prior to the auction timer reaches zero, as otherwise the bid might be reflected as accepted by the system, but in reality, be received too late.

Auctions may offer the 'Buy It Now & Get your Bids Back' option ("Buy it Now"). 'Buy It Now' will allow you to receive your spent Bids back, if you purchase the same model of an identical item at its 'Buy it Now' price. The option to 'Buy It Now' will be offered for a limited period of time (usually 24 hours after the auction ends) after which the option to 'Buy It Now' is permanently revoked.

 

The 'Buy it Now & Get your Bids Back' option is offered at the 'Buy it Now & Get your Bids Back' price listed for each auction. The price may vary between auctions for the same product, but will not change not after the first bid has been placed in an auction. The price is provided solely for the purpose of exercising the 'Buy it Now & Get your Bids Back' option. For the avoidance of doubt, eZbidzs  cannot guarantee that the 'Buy it Now & Get your Bids Back' prices are comparable to prices for which the item is sold through retailers or other merchants elsewhere, and thus the 'Buy it Now & Get your Bids Back' pricing should not be seen as a reflection of product value, or used for price comparisons or other similar purposes.

eZbidzs is not responsible for third party abuse and manipulation of the eZbidzs service, for example, if other users create chaos on the Site that then results in lost bids. In that case, and other cases of third-party abuse, eZbidzs is not responsible.

eZbidzs is constantly attempting to maintain fairness and balance in its auctions therefore some new users or users who have lost auctions may receive special promotions, access to special auctions, and/or free Bids through site features. This is designed to maintain fair practice and helps balance and create a great auction experience for all users.

 

Notification of the Win / Acceptance of the Win / Payment

After the auction has ended, the highest bidder ('winner') who is logged on with eZbidzs will see a 'congratulation page' displayed, along with all of the important information such as the total price, the payment details, etc. The user must actively confirm the win by following the steps indicated on that page or elsewhere on the Services. As soon as the winner has paid the total amount reflected on the 'payment page', the win is accepted.

 

The user must pay the total price (auction price and applicable taxes) no later than 7 days after the notification of the win is sent. After this deadline has passed, eZbidzs can declare a rescission of the purchase contract to the user, which results in revocation of the user's right to delivery of the item. There is likewise no entitlement to replacement of any of the Bids used in the auction. If a user chooses to "Buy it Now", the item price including applicable tax fees must be paid within 24 hours of the auction ending in order to be eligible. Users are responsible for all applicable tax charges associated with purchases.

 

Orders may be subject to sales tax (when applicable and required by law). Buy it Now orders the tax is based on the Buy it Now price and for auction wins the tax is based on the final auction price.

The user may obtain and be legally entitled to the product only after the user fully pays for the product and all of the applicable Bids used to obtain the product. Should the user not pay for Bids that have already been purchased, payments received shall be viewed as payment toward the Bids not yet paid for, and a right of retention shall be exercised with regard to the item purchased at auction until all Bids and the total price have been paid in full. If the user chooses to pay for the item by credit card and the sales price is lower than $1, then the price may be rounded up to $1.

 

If the user does not receive the won product or product obtained through "Buy it Now", the user must file in a claim of non-receipt via e-mail to support@eZbidzs .com within sixty (30) calendar days of the purchase, or eZbidzs 's obligation to deliver the product will end. No refunds of the purchase amount or cost of spent Bids to win the item will be returned to the user.

eZbidzs is not responsible for stolen or lost items. In the event that a product is stolen or lost, eZbidzs will do its best to help customers upon request, by providing tracking information received from the supplier, as well as screenshots or copies of the sales receipt and possible shipping confirmation, if available.

 

Cancellation / Rescission

The user may return the item in an un-depreciated condition within 30 days of receipt if not satisfied for any reason. Upon verification of the product's condition, eZbidzs will refund the purchase price of the product. eZbidzs will not refund the value of the Bids spent to obtain the product. In the event that a user wishes to return a Buy it Now order the user also forfeits all the Free Bids given to them alongside the purchase. If the user has used the Free Bids given to them, the user will need to purchase the equivalent number of Bids in order for eZbidzs to process the refund. Once both the item has been returned and the Free Bids removed from the user's account, a refund will be given. Only Bids that have been acquired by purchasing Bid Packs for the then-current full price shall have a right for refund within 30 calendar days of purchase (90 calendar days for first Bid pack purchase). Such paid Bids are always used first, before promotional Bids, free Bids, Bids obtained through the Buy it Now or other bids that have been obtained in any other way than paying full price for each Bid. Bids obtained during the Buy it Now process do not have any rights to refund. eZbidzs also grants to the user ordering products for personal purposes the right to cancel in accordance with statutory provisions on mail order sales and e-commerce. The right to cancel does not exist in the case of mail order sales and e-commerce contracts for the delivery of audio and video recordings or of software, if and to the extent that the seal on the delivered media has been broken by the user.

 

Right to cancel

You may cancel your contract within 30 days in written notice (e.g. support ticket, e-mail) to eZbidzs or by returning the items. The 30-day period begins when the item is received. Receipt can be e-mail receipt to the e-mail address provided to eZbidzs below.

 

Consequences of Cancellation

In the case of a valid cancellation, both parties must return what has been received in performance of the contract and the benefits derived therefrom (e.g. interest) as applicable. If user is unable to return to eZbidzs the service or product that the user received or is only able to return it in part or only in a depreciated condition, the user must compensate eZbidzs for the difference in value, unless the deterioration resulted from proper use. In the case of use of items, the foregoing compensation provision will not apply if the deterioration of the item is attributable solely to it being tested comparable to those tests that may reasonably be performed in a retail store. In other respects, the user may avoid this duty to pay compensation by not using the item(s) as the user would use his/her own property, and by refraining from any action that would detract from its value. Items that can be shipped in packages are to be returned. In these cases, return is free of charge for the user. Items that cannot be shipped in packages will be picked up upon coordination with the user. A user must satisfy obligations to refund payments within 30 days after sending the user's notice of cancellation.

When a user cancels by the deadline, the user is not obligated to accept delivery. Under those circumstances where eZbidzs cancels by the deadline, eZbidzs will refund any purchase price already paid. The foregoing notwithstanding, the service charge (e.g. money spent on purchase of Bids) will not be refunded.

 

Users may return items received from eZbidzs within 30 days of receipt for any reason however are subject to applicable return shipping or pick up fees.

Should eZbidzs incur additional costs for insufficient postage on the return, for a COD shipment, or for courier shipments and other irregular shipping methods that are over and above postal shipping costs, these costs will be deducted from any payment remitted by the user. Items in sets and boxes can only be returned in their entirety.

 

Delivery

Unless otherwise agreed, delivery will be made from eZbidzs 's supplier's warehouse or from eZbidzs 's warehouse to the address provided by the user. eZbidzs may engage third parties to satisfy its contractual obligations without being required to notify the buyer. Obvious damage to the item from transport or packaging damaged during transport is to be reported to the supplier upon taking delivery.

Should eZbidzs not be able to deliver the item ordered for whichever reason, eZbidzs is entitled to declare rescission to the user or to substitute the item with a comparable replacement product with similar features. eZbidzs may also choose to replace the item ordered with a gift card of the value of the item that the user may choose to use to obtain the same product. This also applies for items ordered through Buy it Now from the eZbidzs store.

 

If the product delivered is damaged, defective, or otherwise does not match the product description, eZbidzs will replace the product at eZbidzs 's expense. Please contact support@eZbidzs .com to arrange return and replacement of any such product. Replacement is not covered for any items shipped to a freight forwarding company and shipment to a freight forwarding company.

 

Right of Substitution

Subject to the cancellation policy specified herein, eZbidzs may substitute another similar item of the same general character or function, provided it has the same or higher retail value, for purposes of delivery to the user. eZbidzs may substitute another similar item of a lesser value if the user requests one. eZbidzs may also choose to substitute the item ordered with a gift card of the value of the item. A gift card may be the most suitable substitute solution for challenges related to product availability or supplier challenges. Such right of substitution may be necessary from time to time if, for example, unforeseen or undetected challenges arise with the manufacturing or inventory system of the supplier, impacting the ability to deliver the exact item sought by the user.

Product Correction

If eZbidzs  is unable to provide the user with the item auctioned due to unforeseen circumstances, eZbidzs  reserves the right to offer the winner in its absolute discretion an alternative item in the same price range or the equivalent of the item's Manufacturer's Recommended Retail Price ('MSRP') in Bids so that if a Bid's then-current price is $0.10, eZbidzs  issuing one (1) Bid to the user is equal to $0.10.

Should subsequent correction be undertaken by way of delivery of the item originally auctioned, the user shall be obligated to return to eZbidzs the substituted item delivered within 30 days at eZbidzs 's expense.

Items delivered shall remain eZbidzs 's property until payment in full of the total price, including for the Bids used in the auction. Until such time as full payment has been made, the user undertakes to store the item separately from their other possessions and to insure it. eZbidzs shall have full rights of access to the place where the item is located during normal business hours to take possession of it.
