Welcome to GamefowlAuction.com

This website is designed to provide a friendly, enjoyable, and useful experience. However, as with any transaction, there are risks involved. We strongly advise you to familiarize yourself with all the terms below before joining. If you spot a listing that you believe violates our general terms and conditions, please contact us.

Community Purpose

GamefowlAuction.com is a community website for breeders and preservationists of gamefowl. Our goal is to maintain the standard of the breed and promote related legal products and merchandise that support a healthy flock. This site is intended to foster a friendly and respectful environment for your farm, business, or hobby.

Membership and Verification

THIS IS A PRIVATE, MEMBERS-ONLY SITE. ALL ACCOUNTS WILL BE VERIFIED. We will make every effort to verify accounts as quickly as possible.

Policies Against Fraud

We have a strict no-tolerance policy against any form of scamming. Multiple accounts, shill bidding, or artificially inflating bids are prohibited. If we suspect impersonation, shill bidding, or the use of multiple accounts, we reserve the right to remove your membership without a refund. All fees will be forfeited unless you can prove otherwise. Our aim is to maintain a fair, competitive, and honest marketplace for all members. If you notice anything suspicious, please contact the admin via email or the listed phone numbers immediately. Admins reserve the right to suspend or terminate listings or use of services for any reason at their discretion.

Link Policy

Please refrain from posting hyperlinks, clickable links, or any external links within the site. We want to keep members engaged on the platform to ensure fairness for all users. However, phone numbers, social information, or website addresses may be included in your posts, provided they are not linked and do not direct visitors off the site.

Legal Compliance

All buyers and sellers agree to comply with applicable laws and regulations and must obtain any necessary permits or licenses concerning all products, including the shipping of live birds or hatching eggs. This responsibility lies solely with the buyer and seller. GamefowlAuction.com is not responsible for obtaining any permits or verifying any laws or regulations in your state.

Bidding and Contracts

Any bid placed on an auction item legally binds you to purchase the item from the seller if you are the winning bidder. Any “non-payers” will be removed from the site immediately, with no refund of dues, and your account will be suspended.

Please note that admins cannot make any changes to bids, offers, sales, purchases, or feedback. This software does not allow admin interference in any of these areas.

When leaving feedback, remember that it creates a lasting impression on the reputation of a buyer or seller. Please think carefully before leaving any negative feedback.

Expectations for Conduct

Be courteous, pay for items, deliver what you promise in good condition, and use common sense—it goes a long way.

Hatching Eggs Disclaimer

If purchasing hatching eggs, please understand that they come with risks. There is no money-back guarantee on freshness, fertilization, or hatch rate (THIS IS NOT eBay). Eggs shipped may be damaged during transit or exposed to elements that can adversely affect your hatch rate. Just because they don’t hatch doesn’t mean they weren’t fertile. Anyone purchasing hatching eggs does so at their own risk. If you cannot accept the risk, do not buy hatching eggs.

We want everyone to succeed in hatching eggs or raising chicks. If you have an issue with hatching eggs or chicks purchased, please approach the seller with kindness and respect.

It is recommended that you insure all shipped products and support one another if issues arise. Treat each other as you would like to be treated.

Content Disclaimer

Our content may include historical or fictitious pre-law accounts for entertainment purposes only. Any opinions expressed are respectful of individuals and do not reflect the views of GamefowlAuction.com or its partners. GamefowlAuction.com assumes no responsibility or legal liability for its users.

Pricing and Membership

GamefowlAuction.com reserves the right to adjust pricing at any time at our discretion. Your membership fee is valid for one year from the date of joining and cannot be adjusted until your renewal date. The renewal date is 365 days from the original membership date, regardless of when dues are paid. There is no prorating of any sort or refund after the payment of membership dues and fees.

GamefowlAuction.com reserves the right to change the terms of use at any time at its sole discretion. Any new rules will be implemented immediately upon change.

Rights to Suspend or Terminate

You agree that this website, at its discretion, may terminate any auction or use of the service immediately and without notice if: (a) we believe you are not adhering to the general rules of this website, (b) you have repeatedly violated a specific term, (c) you have listed a suspicious item, or (d) we believe you are a non-paying bidder. In most cases, when we suspect foul play, we will suspend your account or listing while we investigate further. If our investigation confirms wrongdoing, your account with us will be terminated.

Your Conduct

You are solely responsible for your actions on this website. Ensure that your participation in buying or selling items does not violate any applicable laws or regulations. This means you must check that you are entitled to sell or buy the relevant item and that you are not prohibited from doing so by any law or regulation.

You must not transmit any unlawful, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene, or otherwise objectionable material through the service. Additionally, you must not transmit any material that encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable law or regulation.

Membership Eligibility

Membership to this website is only available to those who can form a legally binding contract. This website does not permit minors (under 18) to register. If any member fails to sign up with their correct age, the account will be terminated immediately.

General Terms

This site serves as a platform for sellers to conduct auctions and for bidders to participate in those auctions. We are not involved in the actual transactions between buyers and sellers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety, or legality of the items listed, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items, or the ability of buyers to purchase items. We cannot and do not control whether sellers will complete the sale of items they offer or whether buyers will complete the purchases of items they have bid on. Additionally, note that there are risks associated with dealing with foreign nationals, underage individuals, or people acting under false pretenses.

This website shall not be responsible for any items sold by auction, for any damage to items during transit or the inspection period, nor for misrepresentations and/or breaches of contract by either buyers or sellers. This website shall not be liable for the cost of procuring substitute goods or any losses resulting from goods purchased or obtained.

This website assumes no liability for the content of the listings. However, if you fall victim to a fraudulent transaction, we will assist you as much as possible.

Governing Laws

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America, your state, or jurisdiction.
