 User Agreement 
 
User Agreement
The text below is our user site agreement. These are the terms and conditions required for access to our site. Please read completely before deciding to agree or disagree with these terms.

 

The following describes the terms on which this Web site provides you access to our services. We reserve the right to supplement, revise, or update these terms at any time without notice to you other than by posting to this Web site. Continued use of this site following such notice (other than to discontinue your membership) shall be deemed to indicate your acceptance of said updates, revisions and additional terms and conditions.

The United States Federal Trade Commission provides some free information for auction users. Please see their publications entitled  Internet Auctions : A Guide for Buyers and Sellers and Internet Auctions: Secrets of Success


1.  Bidding.  Placing a bid on an item is an irrevocable offer to buy the item(s) at the price in the bid, provided the bid is a winning bid at the time of the close of the auction. A winning bid is a bid that is the highest bid on an item, or in the event of a tie, the bid placed chronologically earliest. In the case of a reserve price auction a bid is only a winning bid if it meets or exceeds the reserve price on the item.

Placing a bid constitutes entering into a binding legal agreement with the seller to purchase the item(s) at the winning bid price and in accordance with the terms stated in the item listing and the rules of this site. You must resolve any questions about the item by contacting the seller of the item prior to placing a bid. Do not place a bid until you are sure that you understand what you are bidding on and, if necessary, have received a response from the seller of the item regarding any questions you may have.

Once a bid is placed it may not be cancelled or retracted without the permission of MountainHunter.Net. MountainHunter.Net is not obligated to grant permission to retract or cancel a bid.

Biding is subject to bid increments and items may be subject to a minimum bid.

By bidding on an item, you authorize us to release your contact information, including name, address, email, and telephone number, to the seller who listed the item.

Auctions will not be extended due to technical difficulties. Do not wait until the last minute to bid!

2.  Terms of Sale.  Unless otherwise stated in the seller's Auction Description, the terms of sale of an auction item are as follows:

  • Buyer pre-pays in US funds by personal or business check, bank check or money order.
  • Personal or business checks will be held until they clear (7 business days).
  • Payment must be received within 7 days of initial contact by MountainHunter.Net.


3.  'Side Deals' / Non-Winning Bidders.  Any transaction made between a non-winning bidder and a seller is a 'side deal' and is outside the scope of this auction site and its rules. Our Privacy Policy prohibits us from providing contact information for users involved in a 'side deal'. Buyers and sellers involved in a 'side deal' cannot post feedback and cannot use the auction site's problem resolution tools.

If a bid does not meet or exceed the reserve price (if any) on the trip listed then the bid is not a winning bid and the non-winning bidder is not obligated to buy the item.

4.  System Abuse.  This auction site reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. We will exercise this right with "problem" buyers who win an auction and fail to complete the transaction, and with "problem" sellers who list an item and fail to sell it to the high bidder(s).

Without limiting any other remedies, this auction site may terminate your account if you are found (by conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise) to have engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with our site.

You agree to be liable for and to pay for any costs incurred by this site for your misuse of the site or for your violation of any of the site's rules, including but not limited to Final Value Fees incurred for any items you win but fail to pay for, Final Value Fees for any items on which you place bogus bids, and the cost of our time spent in resolving deliberate rules violations.


5.  Bid Manipulation.  Bid manipulation of any kind is expressly forbidden. A seller is prohibited from placing bids or arranging to have bids placed on behalf of seller, seller's agent or assigns. No shill bidding is allowed. Buyers are prohibited from communicating with each other with the purpose of manipulating the final purchase price of an item.


6.  Technical Difficulties.  This auction site is not responsible for bids not being processed or not being accepted due to technical difficulties. Auctions will not be extended due to technical problems. Do not wait until the last minute to bid!


7.  Illegal Items.  By registering as a subscriber of and using this site you agree that all transactions do not violate any applicable local, state, federal and/or international laws.


8.  Registration.  Subscribers agree to provide true and accurate information about him/herself in the registration form.

It is a violation of Federal law to make bids in a false name or with an invalid credit card, even if our software initially accepts such a bid. Please be aware that even if you do not give us your real name your web browser transmits a unique Internet address to us which can be used by law enforcement officials to identify you. Do not test our auctions with false bids. This puts you at substantial personal legal risk. Fraudulent bidders will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Currently, both the FBI and the US Secret Service as well as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Canada are responsible for investigating Internet fraud cases.


9.  Payments And Fees.  Any and all payments made to this auction site are non-refundable. This holds true whether or not the item sells. If you use a credit card, our billings may appear under the name PayPal and/or MountainHunter.Net

Fees for using MountainHunter.Net are detailed on our benefits page.

By placing a credit card on file with us you expressly authorize us to charge your card for any fees you accrue as a result of using (or misusing) this site. You authorize us to consolidate balances from any duplicate accounts you may have created on our site and bill them to your credit card. You may revoke your authorization by sending a written request to MountainHunter.Net c/o GOABC, Box 94675, Richmond, British Columbia V6Y 4A4. We reserve the right to continue to bill your card for any services rendered prior to receipt of your written request, or for any fees accrued for any action taken prior to the receipt of your written request.

By using a credit card to pay us you agree to unconditionally waive any and all 'chargeback' rights. If you have a question about a charge on your credit card you agree to contact us as described on our Contact Us page. If you deliberately or inadvertently issue a 'chargeback' to your credit card, your account will be terminated and you agree to pay a $50 processing and collection fee to cover our costs for processing the chargeback for each and every chargeback initiated. Failure to pay these fees will result in your account being turned over to a collection agency and we will pursue civil and criminal legal actions to the fullest extent of the law.

Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all applicable taxes and for all hardware, software, service and other costs you incur to bid, buy, or access our servers. We may in our sole discretion add, delete or change some or all of our services at any time.

Bidders: You must remit payment directly to MountainHunter.Net for any item you bid on and win.


10.  Scheduled Maintenance / System Downtime.  We reserve the hours between 8:00am and 9:00 am Central Time for system maintenance. This may or may not cause system downtime. Auction ending times may be extended without notice as a result of scheduled or unscheduled downtime.
