THESE TERMS CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND OTHER MATERIAL TERMS WHICH AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. READ THEM CAREFULLY.

  1. Site Description. The Site is a service by which Football Northwest LLC ("FNW") offers certain items for sale in a variety of pricing formats, including, without limitation, internet auctions. Subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth in these Terms, FNW grants you a limited license to access and use the Site for purposes of (a) accessing and viewing the content published thereon on your computer or other internet-compatible device, and (b) placing bids or orders (as applicable) for products offered for sale on the Site. The Site and the services offered on or through the Site, including any content, software, code, data and materials thereon, are only for your own personal, non-commercial use. FNW may, in its sole discretion, modify or discontinue the Site without any notice. FNW shall not be liable to you or any third party if it exercises its right to modify or discontinue the Site.
  2. Use of the Site. As noted above, use of the Site is governed by these Terms. If you are or become dissatisfied with the Site or if you object to any of these Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy is to immediately stop using the Site and if applicable, delete your account. FNW may immediately suspend or terminate your account and refuse current or future use of the Site if it determines, in its sole discretion, that your use of the Site does not comply with these Terms. As a condition of your access to and use of the Site, you agree that you will not use the Site or any element thereof for any purpose that is unlawful, commercial in nature (e.g., advertising or promoting any product, service, pyramid scheme, or other venture) or prohibited by these Terms, or any other purpose not expressly permitted under these Terms. You agree to abide by all applicable local, state, national and international laws, regulations and rules and not to access or use the Site from a jurisdiction where such access or use is illegal or unauthorized.
  3. User Registration and Privacy Policy. You must register on the Site to bid on or purchase any item offered for sale on the Site. By registering on the Site: (a) you confirm that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age and are able to enter into a legal contract, and (b) you agree to provide accurate, complete, and verifiable information about yourself, such as full name, email address, and phone number (collectively, "Registration Data"). You agree to maintain and update the Registration Data from time to time to ensure it is accurate and complete. FNW's information collection, use, and disclosure policies and practices with respect to Registration Data are set forth in FNW's Privacy Policy which is incorporated herein by reference. The Privacy Policy is accessible through the link at the bottom of the Site under the heading "Privacy Policy." You agree to waive all claims against FNW and its affiliates, officers, directors, agents, and employees arising from or related to your failure to provide or maintain accurate, up-to-date, and complete Registration Data.
  4. Passwords. When you register on the Site, you will create a unique username and password associated with your account. You agree to maintain the confidentiality of your username and password and agree not to transfer, share, or otherwise provide such information to any third party. You agree that you are solely responsible for any and all activities occurring under or related to your username and password, including, without limitation, bids and purchases made through your account. You agree to notify FNW immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security of which you become aware.
  5. Auction Format. The sale of each item offered on the Site's auction platform shall be conducted by means of an ascending price auction in which the item is sold at the close of the auction to the highest bidder. Timed auction closing times may be approximate, and FNW reserves the right to close an auction earlier or later than the scheduled time. Items offered for sale on the Site may be subject to a minimum bid (i.e., "reserve"). Without limiting Section 13 below, FNW does not warrant that live or timed auction service will be uninterrupted or error free, that bids will be received by FNW, or that information regarding current price will be transmitted in a timely fashion.
  6. Bid and Payment. Each bid is an irrevocable offer to purchase the applicable item offered for sale on the Site for the full amount of the bid placed. Bids may not be cancelled or revoked once submitted. The highest dollar amount bid at the close of the auction for the applicable item is deemed the "Winning Bid." Payment for all purchases made through the Site must be made by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, or other means of electronic payment made available on the Site as of the date of your purchase. If the bid placed through your account is the Winning Bid, you agree to provide FNW accurate payment information (e.g., credit card number, PayPal account, etc.) (collectively, the "Payment Method") through the Site no later than forty-eight (48) hours after the end of the applicable auction. You authorize FNW (or its designee) to charge the card or other form of payment provided for the full amount of the bid placed if the bid placed through your account is the Winning Bid. If your Payment Method fails or is declined for any reason, FNW will make a good faith effort to contact you by phone or email using the information you provided as part of your Registration Data. If you fail to provide a valid Payment Method within forty-eight (48) hours of FNW's effort to contact you, all of your bids on the applicable item and transaction will become void and FNW may, in its discretion, (a) deactivate your account, and/or (b) offer the item to the next highest bidder(s), re-list the item in a new auction, sell the item by some other means, or donate the item.
  7. Shipping and Returns. FNW will ship item(s) within ten (10) business days after FNW successfully processes payment for the Winning Bid. The buyer is responsible for separately paying for shipping costs and fees, which are set forth in U.S. dollars on the Site with the listing for the applicable item offered for sale. If the applicable item is to be shipped outside of the United States or Canada, the buyer is responsible for any additional shipping costs, tariffs, duties, customs, and other fees associated with the shipment or receipt of the applicable item. You agree that FNW is not responsible for, and agree to waive all claims against FNW arising from or related to, any damage to items occurring during transit or shipping. No returns are permitted.
