5. WEBSITE AUCTIONS ACCESS AND USE
5.1 In order to access certain features of HANGWITHTHEBAND.COM and to participate in any HWTB Auctions and/or HWTB Event (Hangout) as a bidder, you must first register as a Hang With the Band user (free) by filling out completely and accurately all information required by HWTB as part of the Website’s online registration form. You must then activate your account for bidding by paying a one-time $10 bidding activation fee to have access to the bidding process. Rankings refer to the placement of your bid in relation to other bidders whereby the bidder who places the higher dollar amount bid shall be ranked highest and the bidder who places a lesser bid per person shall be ranked lower (i.e. the highest dollar amount per person bidder would receive a ranking of 1 whereby the second highest dollar amount per person bidder would receive a ranking of 2 and so on). You can check your ranking by logging into your account. Your ranking position can change from moment to moment as you increase your bid amount and as other bidders place their bids. You can generally update your ranking by refreshing the web page that displays your ranking position while logged into your account. You will indicate when registering for the auction whether you are bidding for one or 2 persons on the understanding that bids made for 2 shall be represented at 50% of your actual bid amount for purposes of determining your respective rankings in the auction. Your first bid must be at least the minimum bid amount specified on the auction you are bidding on (that amount should be doubled if bidding for 2). By clicking on the button to “Place Your Bid”, you will be prompted to type in your initial bid amount which must be a least the minimum amount per person as specified in the Event Details description on the HWTB web site. The Event Details description will also specify the number of prize packages (spots) that are up for auction. It is understood and agreed that the spots as described on the Event Details page will be awarded to the winning bidders in correspondence with their final auction ranking subject to fulfilling their obligations as stipulated herein. As a result of Paypal restrictions that may fluctuate, it is possible that your opening bid may not exceed $10,000 although you may bid beyond that amount thereafter. After your initial bid you may increase your bid as many times time you like up to the scheduled close of auction as specified in each event. You may not decrease your bid once it’s placed. You agree that by participating in an auction on this website that you are personally legally bound to pay HWTB the amount of your final bid should the auction close and your preliminary final ranking end up in a winning position according to the event details as described on the HWTB website. All bids and bidding minimums are in U.S. dollars. If you finish in a preliminary winning position or rank at the end of the auction, you will receive a link to a Paypal Invoice via the email address you have provided to HWTB, for the amount of your last bid before auction close. You agree that in this circumstance that you are legally bound by this agreement to pay that amount within 8 hours of that Paypal invoice being sent out by HWTB to you at the email address you have provided. If your final bid amount exceeds Paypal limitations for a single invoice payment HWTB reserves the right to provided multiple invoices to make up the total dollar amount bid or otherwise provide an option for an alternate form of payment. If at the end of an auction, you place lower than the winning rankings as described in the event details, then you shall not be obligated to pay the amount you bid. In this circumstance, you may be also be offered by HWTB a different tiered package (includes some but not all of the activities as prescribed in the event details) for the final price you bid which you may accept or decline at your discretion. You must have a valid credit card number in your name or have a valid Paypal account in your name in order to have your HWTB bidding account profile activated and bid on any HWTB Auctions. It is your responsibility to maintain the validity of this information. HWTB cannot be responsible for your inability to bid or pay for bids you make If your credit card expires or your Paypal account is closed or otherwise canceled for any reason.
5.2 Upon confirmation of enrolling on the Website as a Registered User and your payment of the Auction activation fee ($10), your bidding profile will be activated. You will then be able to log onto the Hang With the Band Website and place bids on HWTB Auctions.
5.3 All bidding on any HWTB Auctions will take place through the Website. No other bids except those made through the Website will be accepted. For each HWTB Auction, you may place a bid for either yourself or yourself and a guest (“Guest”), where said bid for 2 persons would be taken at half the value (projected to 2 persons) for purposes of ranking. In order for your guest to be eligible to be named as a guest and to attend the HWTB Event, such guest, prior to the close of the HWTB Auction must register and create an account with the Website whereby the guest will agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. In the event that at the close of the HWTB Auction, your named guest has not created an HWTB Website account and has not agreed to these Terms of Use, then your bid can be treated by HWTB at HWTB’s discretion as a bid for yourself alone and no spot shall be secured for your guest. You may also be given, at HWTB’s discretion, the opportunity to have your guest enroll as a user of HWTB prior to the event start date to maintain eligibility to attend said event.
5.4 Each HWTB Auction shall have a designated start time and end time during which you may place bids. Each HWTB Auction will provide a description of and details about the particular HWTB Event (Hangout) on which you may place a bid, including the number of spots that are available to bid on and the incremental procedure of the bidding. In some auctions bids may be increased freely while in others increases may only be done in pre-specified increments (i.e. increments of $100 or multiples thereof). During the pendency of any HWTB Auction on which you place a bid, you will be able to log into your Hang With the Band website account to see your ranking relative to other bidders; however, the dollar amounts and the ranking of other bidders will not be displayed. All bids are time-stamped and therefore, for purposes of ranking, bids of identical dollar amounts will be prioritized on a first-come basis by the date and time they are received (e.g., a $4000 bid made at 10:01 a.m. will be ranked higher than a $4000 bid made at 10:05 a.m. on the same day). All bids are legally binding and non-revocable. Once you place and confirm a bid on any HWTB Auction, your bid constitutes a legally binding agreement authorizing HWTB to collect the full amount of your bid if and when it is determined by HWTB to be among the winning bids at the close of the HWTB Auction for which the bid was placed. In the event that you are in a preliminary final winning position at an auction’s and you do not pay as per your commitment for any reason you shall be subject to possible action by HWTB as detailed herein and you will forfeit any claim to the HWTB Auction prize (event package) for which the bid was placed. In this event the ranking in question will also be forfeited and rankings below it will be adjusted upwards accordingly. In the event of this said failure to pay as promised you also agree that such action constitutes fraud and is subject to legal recourse by HWTB for any damages that ensue as a result of such action.
5.5 While HWTB will make every effort to ensure that all HWTB Auctions are continuous and uninterrupted, HWTB cannot and does not guarantee that all HWTB Auctions will be continuous and uninterrupted and operation of any HWTB Auction may be interfered with by numerous factors outside HWTB’s control. In the event that a disruption of an HWTB Auction occurs for any reason, including but not limited to, a crash of the computers hosting the Website and/or the HWTB Auction, then any such HWTB Auction and all associated bids shall be rendered null and void with HWTB reserving the right to decide whether or not the start over and run again the disrupted HWTB Auction within the same or different timelines as previously designated. As a user of the Hang With the Band.com website you agree to hold HWTB harmless against any damages that should occur as result of said interruption of an Auction.
5.6 Following the termination of each HWTB Auction, HWTB will tabulate the highest bids for the available spots and compile a Preliminary Winning Rankings list within 120 minutes after the close of each HWTB notifying potential winning bidders by email and/or telephone utilizing the contact information provided by the Bidders. Bidders who are not in “winning” ranking positions at this time will know as such by checking their ranking position after the auction end date and time.
5.7 For any HWTB Auctions for which you are among the Preliminary Winning Ranking (positioned in a package winning rank at auction close) you hereby agree to pay the Paypal invoice that will be sent to you by HWTB in full for the amount owing (the amount of your final bid amount) within 8 hours from the time that the invoice is sent by HWTB to the email address you provide at registration. In the event that your invoice remains unpaid 8 hours after the final invoice is sent, HWTB reserves the right to revoke your winning bid for non-payment and cancel your Website membership. HWTB may also, at its sole discretion (but shall not be required to) contact you in the event of non-payment after 8 hours via the e-mail address and/or the phone number you provided at registration to provide you with the opportunity to use an alternative method of payment for the purpose of paying for and securing your winning spot in the HWTB Auction. It is understood that this would be done as a courtesy and not as a matter of policy.
5.8 HWTB reserves the right to sell any unsold or additional spots after any auction closes so long as such spots do not usurp any previous paying bidders’ auction ranking in a negative or downward direction. Pricing and method of marketing of such packages shall be at HWTB’s sole and absolute discretion
5.9 In the event that your bid includes a bid for a guest and said bid is placed in a ranking position which divides your bid for two persons into winning and non-winning positions or which divides your bid into different tiers relative to the HWTB Event (Hangout) that you are bidding on, then HWTB, at its complete and sole discretion reserves the right to accommodate bidders in these types of situations by increasing the amount of available total winning spots and/or the available winning spots in total and/or in a tier of a multi-tiered Event (Hangout) by a factor of one person.
5.10 As a registered participant of the HWTB website, you agree to refrain from bidding or being a guest of a bidder for any HWTB Event (Hangout) where you have a history of altercation with a celebrity or celebrities who are featured guests of said Event (Hangout) whereby it may be reasonably deemed that said celebrity/celebrities may feel that your presence at the Event (Hangout) may constitute a threat to their comfort, safety or security. HWTB reserves the right to refuse your bid or to disqualify your bid, winning or otherwise, if said celebrity/celebrities determine and express to HWTB that they feel that you are in any way a threat to their comfort, safety or security. In the event that such a determination is made prior to the Final Winning Rankings being published or anytime before the start of the actual Event (Hangout), HWTB shall refund to you the Auction Price paid to HWTB for the Event (Hangout) and shall not be liable to you for any reimbursement otherwise. Should that determination/assessment occur after that start of an Event (Hangout) then the offending bidder(s) shall be removed from the event and barred from participating further in the Event (Hangout) Itinerary without refund or compensation by HWTB or the celebrity/celebrities. For purposes of clarity on this, HWTB strongly advises that any person who plans to bid, is bidding on an Event or is a registered guest of a bidder for an HWTB event that involves celebrity/celebrities with whom the bidder has had any kind of prior meeting, association or relationship, then the bidder should declare such history to HWTB via email so that HWTB may have the opportunity to approve their participation via the celebrity/celebrities in question.
5.11 To the extent you are required by law, you are solely responsible for remitting any taxes owed in your domicile to which you are subject to arising from any winning HWTB Auctions. HWTB is not obligated to determine whether such taxes apply and is not responsible for collecting, remitting or reporting such taxes arising from the HWTB Auction.
