At Alt, we are dedicated to upholding a fair, transparent, and efficient auction process. This Bid Retraction Policy outlines the conditions under which bidders may request for a bid removal review during an auction. All bid modifications are subject to Alt's discretion and buyers are advised to exercise extreme care in ensuring accuracy prior to bid submission.
I: Scope
This policy applies to all types of auctions conducted by Alt and pertains to all participating bidders.
II: Bid Retraction: General Guidelines
Once a bid has been placed within any Alt auction, it is considered binding. Bid cancelations are generally prohibited. We encourage bidders to exercise caution and review their decisions carefully prior to submitting bids.
III: Acceptable Reasons for User Requested Bid Retractions
Mistyped Bid Amounts: Users may request to adjust their non-visible maximum bid if they make a typographical error when submitting.
Item Description Changes: If substantial changes occur to an item's description after a bid has been placed, bidders may request a review for retraction.
Technical Errors: Bid cancelations due to technical issues with the auction platform may be considered on a case-by-case basis, if the technical issue resulted in an incorrect bid amount being entered.
IV: Acceptable Reasons for Alt Facilitated Bid Retractions
Unconfirmed Bids: Alt reserves the right to retract bids for users who have not completed the process to confirm their bidding activity within the email confirmation. Emails will be sent to new bidders within 24 hours of them bidding within an auction.
Non-Payments: Alt reserves the right to retract bids for users who have experienced prior non-payments from a previous auction cycle, or within our Fixed Price Exchange.
V: Unacceptable Reasons for Bid Retraction
Bid cancelations will not be allowed for reasons such as change of mind, bidder's remorse, or changes in personal circumstances.
