Pacific Forest Foundation Terms and Conditions 2019:
PFF – Auction Program Rules & Regulations
The Pacific Forest Foundation (PFF) is a Section 501(c)(3), non-profit membership organization. Our members are dedicated to public education about forests and forestry issues. The Pacific Forest Foundation programs provide information about a balance between forest management with environmental protection. Sustainable forest production is critical to providing important wood products and also protecting the forest from wildfire.
The PFF appreciates the support of its donors and members in helping to further its programs and goals. The auction revenue raised goes to support PFF’s education programs. The term “auction” refers to a live auction.
Items donated to PFF and amounts paid to PFF as part of the auction qualify as charitable deductions. The PFF is a qualified charitable organization. The PFF auction purchase is eligible for a tax deduction which is a qualified charitable organization.
All auction items are donated to PFF by members of the Pacific Logging Congress, or friends of the organization, unless otherwise noted. Refer to IRS Publication 1391, Deductibility of Payments Made to Charities Conducting Fund Raising Events and consult your tax advisor for information about charitable deductions.
These Auction Program Rules and Regulations apply to the auction conducted for the benefit of Pacific Forest Foundation and the term PFF shall refer to the Pacific Forest Foundation in all instances where the auction is conducted for the benefit of PFF.
Any exceptions to these Auction Program Rules & Regulations must be reviewed and accepted by Executive Director and, if necessary, the PFF Executive Committee.
AUCTION BIDDING PROCEDURES AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
1. You or your representative (designated individual must have written, notarized authorization by you stating maximum bidding price for each of the items of interest) must be registered and present during the auction to be eligible to bid. A person who bids on behalf of another person or group will be ultimately held responsible for payment in its entirety. A person registered and bidding through the official PFF online auction site will be considered to be registered and present for the auction.
2. All items auctioned are sold “as is.” PFF assumes no responsibility for the validity of the descriptions, authenticity, or condition of any item donated for auction. PFF makes no warranty or guarantee, express or implied regarding any property or service sold at auction including, but not limited to, any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability. Values listed are as stated by donors and are not warranted by PFF for tax or any other purpose.
3. All items auctioned (whether goods or services) have been acquired or obtained by PFF from third parties. The purchaser acknowledges that the items have not been inspected by PFF. No services auctioned are to or will be performed by PFF.
4. After bidding for an item concludes and the auctioneer designates a winning bidder, the designated winner (buyer) must immediately agree to a Buyer's Agreement. For buyers at the auction location, the buyer must sign the Buyer's Agreement and one copy will be given to the buyer. For online buyers, the buyer must click "I accept" after reading the Buyer's Agreement which, along with payment for the item, constitutes agreement to the Buyer's Agreement. All signatures on Buyer's Agreements, and "I accept" with payment for online purchases, are legal and binding. PFF will not recognize changes, additions or deletions to any auction description agreed to by the buyer and donor unless such changes are noted on the Buyer's Agreement and signed by the buyer and an authorized representative of the donor, or in the case of online buyers, noted in an electronic writing exchanged between the buyer and an authorized representative of the donor.
5. By making a purchase, the purchaser waives any claim for liability against PFFI or the donor of any property or service, and neither PFF nor the donor is responsible for any personal injuries or damages to property that may result from the utilization of any property or services sold. If any action or claim is made against PFF by an individual, entity, or state, local, federal, foreign or political body for any matter whatsoever arising from the use of the auctioned items, or any actions or parties conducting business with respect to the auctioned items, the donor and/or purchaser will pay PFF’s attorneys’ fees and costs and will hold PFF harmless from any judgment thereon.
6. By making a purchase, the purchaser agrees that:
a. The auction and purchases made at the auction shall be governed in all respects, whether as to validity, construction, capacity, performance, or otherwise, by the laws of the State of Washington, except as preempted by federal law and that venue for any and all actions, including litigation, mediation and/or arbitration, shall be in Pierce County, Washington.
b. Any dispute or action arising out of or relating to the Auction and purchases made at the Auction shall first be submitted to mediation before a mediator mutually agreed to by the Parties, with said mediation to be held in Pierce County, Washington. If mediation is unsuccessful, then such dispute or claim shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association or other appropriate standard relating to disputes arising out of contract, before one arbitrator, with said arbitration to be held in Pierce County, Washington.
7. If during a live auction, a final bid for an item is erroneously taken from two bidders, the bidding is closed to everyone else except those two bidders. The high bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser; the auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion to determine the successful bidder in any auction. At each live auction, there will be pre-designated bid spotters in the audience, and it is the responsibility of the bidder to direct bids to the nearest spotter. The auctioneers and spotters will make every attempt to acknowledge all desired bids, but PFF is not responsible for any missed bids or bids that fail to be executed.
8. After bidding for an item concludes and the auctioneer designates a winning bidder, the designated winner (buyer) must immediately agree to a Buyer's Agreement. For buyers at the auction location, the buyer must sign the Buyer's Agreement and one copy will be given to the buyer. For online buyers, the buyer must click "I accept" after reading the Buyer's Agreement which, along with payment for the item, constitutes agreement to the Buyer's Agreement. All signatures on Buyer's Agreements, and "I accept" with payment for online purchases, are legal and binding. PFF will not recognize changes, additions or deletions to any auction description agreed to by the buyer and donor unless such changes are noted on the Buyer's Agreement and signed by the buyer and an authorized representative of the donor, or in the case of online buyers, noted in an electronic writing exchanged between the buyer and an authorized representative of the donor.
9. Successful bidders may, during or immediately following the auction, present their copy of the Buyer’s Agreement to the Auction Payment Counter, where they may pay by cash, check or credit card. Checks should be made to Pacific Forest Foundation and must be drawn on a U.S. bank and in U.S. dollars. Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are accepted.
10. All auction items purchased at other than the Wednesday Night Auction must be paid for in full before 8 p.m. Saturday, the last day of the Convention. Auction items purchased at the Wednesday Night Auction must be paid for before the official close of the Wednesday Night Auction. Arrangements for the removal of all items must be made before the close of the Wednesday Night Auction. Any auction items that have not been paid for by the close of the Saturday Night Auction will be subject to a 10% surcharge, which will be added to the winning bid and this total will then become the purchase price.
11. If you are unable to attend one or more live auction in person and wish to place bids for live auction items through a representative, you may give PFF absentee bid instructions to bid on your behalf. One of our representatives will then try to purchase your items of choice at the lowest price possible, and never for more than the top amount you indicate. However, PFF will not be held responsible for failure to execute any bid or for any errors in execution of bids. Absentee bids will be accepted until November 6 prior to the annual Convention. To place an absentee bid, you will need to call the Convention Department and talk to the Auction Program Coordinator. You must provide in advance a pre-approved credit card or other method of payment, bank reference, item to bid on and maximum bidding price that is acceptable to PFF. An absentee bidder need not be a member of PFF and additionally pay the daily convention registration fee for the day of the auction of the items to be bid on.

On-site shipping will be available through a representative. Fees will be quoted and will be the responsibility of the purchaser. Items purchased through an online auction will be shipped by the on-site shipping representative and fees are the responsibility of the purchaser.

18. The terms and conditions set forth in the Auction Buyer Policy and the Auction Hunt Policy are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

PFF – Auction Buyer Policy
PFF offers donated hunts and items to its members at official PFF events through live auctions, silent auctions and the sale of raffle tickets for designated items. PFF’s policy for hunts or items acquired by members at auction or through a raffle program is as follows:
1. PFF offers hunts, art, jewelry, and other tangible items for bid during live and silent auctions. All items are transferred as is. All valuations are provided by donors and all descriptions are based on information provided by third parties and PFF shall in no event be held responsible for their accuracy. PFF does not make implied or expressed warranties or representation of any kind, nor does PFF deem to have made any representation or warranty of the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition of any item. No statement in the PFF publications, catalogs or brochures or in the bill of sale or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty, representation or assumption of liability by PFF. Any written warranties with respect to the items purchased are those solely and expressly supplied by the manufacturer or donor of that item or hunt. Although third parties sometimes provide appraisals with items such as jewelry, PFF does not verify or warrant their accuracy or origin. Appraisals are the result of subjective valuations and estimates of value and quality can vary markedly between competent and reliable appraisers. The provision of an appraisal does not represent a guarantee of value. Furthermore, any written or visual presentation done or offered by third parties does not necessarily reflect the opinion or attitude of PFF.
2. The successful bidder (or “purchaser”) of an item will immediately sign a Buyer’s Agreement. The Buyer’s Agreement will be brought to where the purchaser is sitting for signature and the bidder/purchaser will retain one copy at that time. Purchaser’s signature on the Buyer's Agreement demonstrate that the purchaser acknowledges that the agreement is a legal and binding contract to accept the item and pay the accepted bid amount. Any changes, deletions or additions to the description printed on the Buyer’s Agreement, which are agreed to by the purchaser and an authorized representative of the donor, must be noted and signed by both parties in order to be recognized as part of the auction purchase.
3. All auctions are final and there will be no exchanges or refunds on items or hunts. PFF has made every effort to ensure the quality of donated items or hunts. However, PFF does not guarantee the satisfaction of the donor or the purchaser in any case. In reference to hunt donations, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to contact the hunt donor immediately and make all necessary arrangements for hunt dates and the application for any necessary paperwork for licenses and /or permits. Failure to make necessary arrangements may constitute forfeiture.
4. If a purchaser fails to pay for any item prior to the close of the Convention, PFF reserves the right to pursue all legal remedies available to it. PFF may undertake internal actions, which could result in sanctions including, but not limited to, suspension of purchaser’s membership or expulsion from PFF.
5. Although PFF makes reasonable efforts to list all extra and ancillary expenses not included in hunt, travel, service and other items, lists of expenses in auction item descriptions should not be considered exhaustive or definitive and PFF will not be held responsible for their completeness or accuracy. The amounts of additional expenses listed in auction item descriptions are approximations and are subject to change without notice. Bidders should contact relevant donors before bidding for additional and updated information about expenses one can expect to incur in taking a hunt or trip or in using a service or item.
6. All tangible items are subject to local sales tax.
7. All of the terms and conditions set forth in the Auction Hunt Policy and the Auction Program Rules & Regulations are applicable to members purchasing items at auction or through raffle and such terms and conditions are incorporated herein by reference.
