Any person that wants to access the Site to buy, sell or bid for goods or to use the other services we provide (collectively, the "Services") must accept the terms and conditions of this User Agreement without change. By using this service YOU AGREE TO ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS USER AGREEMENT. If you do not accept these terms and conditions or have questions, please e-mail support@horsecityauctions.com.

To register, you must provide your real name, address, phone number and email address. HorseCity.com may refuse the Services to anyone at any time, in our sole discretion.

View the help page for exact commission rates.

Auction Guidelines:

All guarantees are between buyer and seller. HorseCity.com provides a venue for Sellers to auction their goods to willing Buyers at the highest or most favorable bid. HorseCity.com is not involved in the actual transaction between Sellers and Buyers and is not the agent of either for any purpose. It is the sole responsibility of the seller to collect all payments for goods purchased. Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, HorseCity.com cannot and does not confirm that each user is who they claim to be. HorseCity.com encourages you to communicate directly with a trading partner to help you evaluate with whom you are dealing. If you have any concerns about your trading partner, consider using a third party escrow service or services that provide additional user verification.

Bidders: As a bidder, if you have the highest bid at the end of the auction, at or above the minimum bid price (or in the case of reserve auctions, at or above the reserve price), and your bid is accepted by the seller, you are obligated to complete the transaction. Bids are not retractable except in exceptional circumstances such as the seller materially changing the description of the item after your bid or clear typographical errors, or when you cannot authenticate the identity of the seller. You may not bid in a way that pulls other bidders to their maximum bid, retract the high bid, and then rebid at a small increment above the legitimate high bidder (bid manipulation).

Sellers: A Seller may "list" any item for auction on the Site unless it is does not fit under a category listed on the main page. HorseCity.com reserves the right to move any items to the appropriate category. Adult items and live animals are not allowed for sale. HorseCity.com reserves the right to remove any item and not issue a refund for violation of these guidelines. Categories will be created, changed or modified at the sole discretion of HorseCity.com HorseCity.com does not know whether the listing is accurate or if the Seller and Buyer will perform as promised, and Buyers and Sellers use the Site and the Services at their own risk. If you receive one or more bids at or above your stated minimum price (or in the case of reserve auctions, at or above the reserve price), then you are obligated to complete the transaction with the highest bidder, unless there is an exceptional circumstance, such as the buyer fails to meet the terms of your listing (such as payment method), or you cannot authenticate the identity of the buyer. Sellers may not manipulate the price of their item, either by using a shill (a secondary account or third party) or by bidding themselves.

HorseCity.com retains the right to immediately halt any auction, prevent or restrict access to the Site or the Services or take any other action to restrict access to or availability of objectionable material, any unlawful items or any items otherwise prohibited by the procedures and guidelines contained in the User Agreement Frequently Asked Questions.
