Bidding Policies & Procedures

• All items are sold on an “As Is, Where is” basis. All sales are final. No refunds or exchanges will be made.
• DoveLewis retains the right to change or withdraw any item at any time before or during the online auction. DoveLewis also retains the right to extend closing times on any auction item(s).
• You will use the URL sent to your email to log on and place bids on auction items. Use of this bidding software constitutes a contract to purchase that item if your bid is the final recognized bid.
• To enter an auction bid, select the dollar amount you wish to bid on the package page and click “Place Bid”. If you are outbid, you can opt to have notifications sent to you via email or text.
• Donations and Fund a Need options cap at $10,000 on this platform. If you have a larger gift in mind, or if you would like to make a donation through other means than an online credit card transaction, please contact us at development@dovelewis.org.
• Minimum bids are posted for each item, and required increments are in place. All bids are considered final and legally binding agreements to purchase the package at the amount bid. If you feel you’ve made a mistake with your bid, please contact us at events@dovelewis.org.
• The highest bid at the auction closing time (12:00pm on Saturday, April 10) will constitute the winning bid, unless the “buy it now” purchase option has been exercised by a bidder in advance of the auction closing time.
• Bidders must be located in the state of Oregon at the time of purchase to participate in the Golden Ticket Raffle.
• The certificates purchased at this auction are the responsibility of the purchaser. DoveLewis cannot extend expiration dates, change restrictions or alter dates of validity. Gift certificates that are lost or stolen cannot be replaced. Gratuity is not included in gift card values.
• Credit cards of winning bidders will be charged the following week (April 12-16). An email receipt will be issued at that time, and a mailed receipt will arrive within 14 days.
• Consult your tax advisor regarding deductibility on purchases and gifts.
• Please note-due to timing and or space limitations, some item descriptions including restrictions may not be completely outlined in your Program. Please carefully read the description on each of the auction item pages as this is the final item description.
• Some packages contain items with specific event dates or dates of expiration. Please understand that due to the current situation, your auction “purchase” may become a “donation” if the event is canceled or business is closed.
• Unless stated otherwise, all items must be picked-up in-person at the DoveLewis Business Office (1200 NW Naito Pkwy, Portland, OR 97209) or at the Pick Up Parties on April 17 and April 23. If you are unable to pick-up the item in-person, you must cover any shipping costs for the item to your location, unless the item description/restrictions provides otherwise. Should you choose to mail your items without a tracking number, you assume the risk if your item is lost or stolen. No replacements will be issued.
• ALL ITEMS MUST BE PICKED UP NO LATER THAN 30 DAYS AFTER THE LAST PICK UP EVENT. IF YOUR ITEM(S) ARE NOT PICKED UP BY MAY 24, IT WILL BE CONSIDERED A DONATION TO NEXT YEAR’S AUCTION.
• If you bid on an item that you are unable to pick-up or are ineligible for (Golden Ticket Raffle if you are not located in Oregon or alcohol packages if you are not 21+), you will still be charged for your winning bid.
