In addition, You must not provide misleading information when registering. You may not collude to exchange information.

Referrals
    You may refer friends to IndianBids using the form on the IndianBids website. IndianBids offers free bids to any user who refers new users that purchase a bid pack. IndianBids reserves the right to review each referral for possible fraud. You may not refer family members or pets located in the same household. Any abuse of the referral system will result in the deduction of fraudulent bids awarded and/or the termination of the users account.

Account Termination
TERMINATION BY YOU: You have the right to terminate Your account at any time. You may do so either by not returning or by closing your account in accordance with IndianBids standard procedure.

TERMINATION BY INDIANBIDS: IndianBids reserves the right to temporarily or permanently terminate Your account at its sole discretion if it determines You have violated these Terms & Conditions, any laws, or the rights of our other users or other third parties. Examples of unauthorized usage include, but are not limited to, the use of unauthorized third-party bidding or bid tracking software, the creation of multiple accounts by the same individual ("Multiple Account Violation") or if IndianBids suspects fraudulent account activity or behavior. You agree that if IndianBids, in good faith and in its sole discretion, determines that You have breached these Terms & Conditions, IndianBids may withhold, cancel or otherwise retain any and all of Your pending deliveries and/or refunds for bids.

Bidding / Bid Purchases / Autobidder
    You can place bids in two ways: (1) manually by clicking an auction's "Bid" button and/or (2) by using the Autobidder function. Autobidder is an automated feature which lets You bid on an auction even when You are not online or logged in. Autobidder automatically places bids according to Your instructions. You can read about how the Autobidder operates in the "Help" section.

    IndianBids reserves the right to offer different size Bid Packs at different times. Bids are purchased in advance in the form of "Bid Packs". Purchased Bids that have not been used in auctions are non-refundable. IndianBids reserves the right to block access to the user's account until payment in full of the invoice amount, including any fees due to returned payment etc., and to withhold any outstanding deliveries until payment is received in full.

    Bid Packs expire after twelve (12) months. The expiration of Bid Vouchers varies based on type. From time to time, free bids may be offered. Free bids are only valid until the expiration date stated in the promotion, which is typically seven (7) days. Once a bid is placed in an auction, it is deducted from the user's bid account and can no longer be refunded irrespective of whether or not the bid is successful.

    A maximum of 20 seconds can be added to the timer and one bid will be deducted from Your account with each bid placed. An auction ends when the timer on the IndianBids server(s) hits zero. The winner of an auction is the last bidder the database recorded before the timer on the IndianBids server(s) hit zero.

Odds of Winning Auctions
    Every auction is unique and the results of all auctions offered on IndianBids depend on the number of users participating in such auctions and the skill of the users participating in the auctions; precise odds of winning are therefore unavailable.

Acceptance of the Win / Payment
    After an auction has ended, You must actively confirm and pay the total price for the won auction. Once You have clicked on the confirmation button the win is accepted. If an auction win has not been confirmed and paid within seven (7) days of the auction end date, IndianBids reserves the right to withdraw the offer to conclude a contract and the winner's right to pay for and receive delivery of an item will be permanently revoked. All bids placed in that auction expire and are non-refundable. After confirming the win and paying the total amount due, the winner will receive a confirmation e-mail. The item will not be sent to You until the total price has been paid to IndianBids. An invoice containing the auction price and shipping costs will be sent to You by IndianBids once delivery has been arranged.

Special Promotions
    Any special promotions run by IndianBids shall only be valid if they are announced on IndianBids or in its corresponding email newsletter. Certain promotions may only be valid for a limited time, with details announced on IndianBids or in our newsletter. Once the advertised time limit of any such promotion has been reached, or the relevant auction or auctions have ended, the promotion is also finished.

    IndianBids reserves the right to show additional and/or different auctions to You at IndianBids' sole discretion.

Returns / Cancellations
    IndianBids allows winners the right to cancel or return an order. This right is unconditional and begins from the moment the contract is concluded. If You cancel a contract to which the cancellation provisions apply, You are entitled to a refund of the auction end price (including shipping costs) You have paid even if the goods are not defective in any way. Bids placed on the auction are not eligible for a refund. These cancellation rights end 21 days after the day the winner received the goods or a notification that the goods are ready for collection.

    Some exceptions may apply. If such exception does apply, it will be noted on the auctions return information on the individual auction page. Exclusions include Free Bids, Coupons, and Voucher Bids. If You are found to be in bad standing due to fraudulent behavior, excessive refund requests and other such behavior, You are deemed to be a breach of the Terms & Conditions and will not be eligible for a refund.

    If You wish to cancel the contract, You must inform IndianBids by email that You want to cancel within the time period noted above. Cancellations by phone will not be accepted. The following contact detail must be used: support@indianbids.com

    In order to complete a cancellation or return, You must return the received product or products in new condition. Shipping expenses for returns will be paid by You (unless goods are found to be defective). IndianBids will not accept a return if You are unable to return the service or product received or are only able to return it in part or in a depreciated condition.

    Should IndianBids incur additional costs for insufficient postage on the return, these costs will be deducted from any previous payment remitted by You.

    Should IndianBids not be able to deliver the product ordered or the product won, IndianBids shall be entitled to substitute the item with an equivalent product acceptable to both IndianBids and You, or provide a refund of the auction end price, Buy It Now payments, and all bids placed by You on that particular auction.

Delivery
    Deliveries are made exclusively to the 50 states of the United States (excluding the U.S. sovereign territories of Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) and Washington D.C. Some restrictions or higher shipping costs may apply if the delivery address is in Alaska or Hawaii. Unless otherwise stated, delivery will be made directly from our suppliers or from our warehouse to the address provided by You. Delivery times vary; therefore any time provided should be used as a guide. IndianBids shall be entitled to involve third parties to satisfy its contractual obligations without being required to notify the buyer. Obvious damage to the item from transport or packaging damaged during transport is to be reported to IndianBids upon receipt.

Withholding Payment / Retention of Title
    You agree that the item delivered shall remain IndianBids' property until payment is received in full of the total price, including the shipping and bids used in the auction.
