All registered Buyers have the option to bid on one or more horses at the same time. All auctions listed will have a specific time stated that auction will end. Horse Zip LLC reserves the right to bid on behalf of the Seller if a “Reserve” is in place. A horse that Buyer is bidding on may have a “Reserve” which will be noted on the auction. The “Reserve” is the least that the Seller is willing to take for the horse. The “Reserve” will remain confidential until it has been met. Once that reserve is met the horse will be marked as selling. A Buyer may place a single bid or choose to bid their maximum bid. Each bid shall be in $250 increments excluding maximum bids which may be the highest amount that the Buyer would like to bid on the horse in that particular auction over and above the $250 increment rule. Each auction has a date and time that it will end. Should any bidder place a bid at 1:59 or less the clock will add 2 minutes. This 2 minutes will be added each time a new bid is placed up until the clock reaches 1 second which at this time the software program will not accept any additional bids. At this time the auction will end and Invoice will be emailed to the Buyer if the reserve has been met on the horse in this particular auction. If the “Reserve” is met Seller will pay Horse Zip LLC the commissioned agent in the auction 10% commission once auction has ended and Buyer has paid for the horse. Should the “Reserve” not be met the Seller is not obligated to sell the horse. Should the “Reserve” not be met the last Bidder will have the option to purchase the horse at the “Reserve” price.
