Terms of Use
Please carefully read, review and be sure you understand our Terms of Use prior to downloading or using any of the materials or Products from phpPennyAuction. You should carefully read all of our terms and conditions as your purchase or use of any phpPennyAuction.com Product(s) or services and use of this Website and any materials or Products available herein identifies that you agree to the following Terms of Use and that you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions accordingly. If you do not agree to these terms then you should leave this Website immediately, not use any of the materials or Products available herein, and/or not subscribe to this service or purchase any product.
Please note that if you have any questions or concerns regarding these terms and conditions or any other aspect of the phpPennyAuction Website, you may contact our Sales department via the ‘Contact’ link on the home page of phpPennyAuction.com and we will be happy to assist you. We previously marketed this software with an auto bidding process installed as standard, and we marketed the software using phrases which suggested that the auto bidding feature could be used during auctions involving human (paying) participants to (a) increase the number of bidders, and (b) increase the bidding price, (c) prevent the site operator from making a loss on auction products. These statements were untrue and misleading. The auto bidding feature may only be used to test the functionality of the software, and NOT WHEN THE SITE IS LIVE. In particular, the auto bidding feature should be disabled before you invite any members of the public to participate in any auction.
