Auction Rules
Please read these Auction Rules carefully before taking part in any auction on this website.
By placing a bid, you agree to follow all the rules below. These rules are designed to keep the process fair and transparent for every participant.
General Rules
- Only registered users with a verified email address may participate in auctions.
- Each participant may use only one account. Multiple or fake accounts are strictly prohibited.
- Auction start and end times are clearly shown on item’s page and are final.
- All bids are binding - they cannot be changed, canceled, or withdrawn.
- No bidding fees are charged; participation is completely free.
- The website sends notifications via email only. No phone or SMS alerts are used.
- The website reserves the right to cancel, modify, or suspend any auction if technical errors or fraudulent activity are detected.
Bidding Rules
- Each auction displays a starting price, minimum bid increment, and a set end time.
- There is no maximum bid amount — you can bid as high as you wish.
- The Buy Now feature is disabled; auctions end only when time expires (unless extended by anti-sniping).
- All bids are recorded and timestamped by the system automatically.
- Late bids made after the timer reaches zero are not accepted, unless the anti-sniping feature extends the auction.
- Bidders are responsible for monitoring their bids and checking their email notifications regularly.
Anti-Sniping Extension
To prevent unfair last-second bidding, the auction system includes an anti-sniping feature.
If a new bid is placed within the final few minutes of the auction (for example, within 2 minutes of closing), the auction is automatically extended by a small amount of time (e.g., +2 minutes).
This ensures every bidder has a fair chance to respond and avoids last-moment “sniping” tactics.
Payments & Checkout
- The highest bidder at the end of the auction is automatically declared the winner.
- A confirmation email will be sent immediately after the auction ends.
- The winner must complete the full payment within 48 hours via bank transfer to the account specified in the confirmation email.
- If payment is not received within that period, the auction result may be canceled and the item relisted.
- Once payment is confirmed, the item will be shipped or delivered as stated in the auction details.
Returns & Disputes
- All sales are final. Once an auction ends and payment is made, it cannot be canceled or refunded unless the item is damaged or not as described.
- If you believe the item significantly differs from its description, please contact us within 3 business days of receiving it.
- Any approved return must be sent back in original condition and packaging
- For any disputes or issues, please reach out to me at info@ukumerkuri.com before taking further action.
- All cases are reviewed fairly and transparently.
Liability
The website and its administrators are not responsible for internet issues, browser errors, or technical interruptions that may affect bidding.
All bids are recorded according to server time, which is final.
By participating in auctions, you accept these technical risks.
The website’s total liability shall not exceed the final value of the auctioned item.
