MN SCI – Auction Program Rules & Regulations
MN SCI will be known as SCI in this agreement as well
MN SCI is a Section 501(c)(4), non-profit membership organization. Our members are conservationists who hunt. Our mission is conservation of wildlife, education of the public, and advocacy for hunting and hunter's rights. SCI appreciates the support of its donors and members in helping to further its programs and goals. Auction revenue funds a great portion of SCI's operating budget. The majority of the dollars raised goes to support SCI's conservation and education programs and for protection of the hunter. The term “auction” refers to silent auction, live auction, online auction, and raffle.
Items donated to SCI and amounts paid to SCI as part of the auction do not qualify as charitable deductions. SCI is not a qualified charitable organization. No portion of any SCI auction purchase is eligible for a tax deduction unless it is an auction item (not a raffle item) sold for the benefit of SCI Foundation, which is a qualified charitable organization. If an auction item (not a raffle item) is sold for the benefit of the SCI Foundation, the purchaser may be eligible for a charitable deduction for only that portion of the payment that is over the item’s fair market (or retail) value (except for raffle ticket purchase, which are not eligible for a charitable deduction in all cases). If an auction item is dedicated to benefit SCI Foundation, it will be noted in the description. Refer to IRS Publication 1391, Deductibility of Payments Made to Charities Conducting Fund Raising Events and consult your tax advisor for information about charitable deductions.
These Auction Program Rules and Regulations apply to auctions and raffles conducted for the benefit of SCI and SCI Foundation and the term “SCI” shall include “SCI Foundation” in all instances where the auction or raffle is conducted for the benefit of SCI Foundation.
Any exceptions to these Auction Program Rules & Regulations must be reviewed and accepted by Show Management and, if necessary, the SCI Executive Committee.
AUCTION BIDDING PROCEDURES AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
1. A person who bids on behalf of another person or group will be ultimately held responsible for payment in its entirety. A person registered and bidding through the official SCI online auction site will be considered to be registered and present for the auction.
2. All items auctioned are sold “as is.” SCI assumes no responsibility for the validity of the descriptions, authenticity, or condition of any item donated for auction. SCI makes no warranty or guarantee, express or implied regarding any property or service sold at auction including, but not limited to, any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability.
3. Some of the taxidermy auction items have limitations regarding allowed geographic location within which they are allowed to be sold. Any such limitations are described within the Description text for the specific items where the limitation applies. Buyers for these items will need to provide proof of buyer's physical residence before taking ownership for these items. Winning buyers whose physical residence does not meet the stated limitation for that item will need to have their purchase refunded and the item will be sold to the next highest preceeding bidder whose residence is within the allowed geographic boundary.
4. For online buyers, the buyer must click "I accept" after reading the Buyer's Agreement which, along with payment for the item, constitutes agreement to the Buyer's Agreement. All signatures on Buyer's Agreements, and "I accept" with payment for online purchases, are legal and binding, and all sales are final once payment is accepted.
5. By making a purchase, the purchaser waives any claim for liability against SCI or the donor of any property or service, and neither SCI nor the donor is responsible for any personal injuries or damages to property that may result from the utilization of any property or services sold. If any action or claim is made against SCI by an individual, entity, or state, local, federal, foreign or political body for any matter whatsoever arising from the use of the auctioned items, or any actions or parties conducting business with respect to the auctioned items, the donor and/or purchaser will pay SCI’s attorneys’ fees and costs and will hold SCI harmless from any judgment thereon.
6. By making a purchase, the purchaser agrees that:
a. The auction and purchases made at the auction shall be governed in all respects, whether as to validity, construction, capacity, performance, or otherwise, by the laws of the State of Minnesota, except as pre-empted by federal law and that venue for any and all actions, including litigation, mediation and/or arbitration, shall be in Hennepin County MN.
b. Any dispute or action arising out of or relating to the Auction and purchases made at the Auction shall first be submitted to mediation before a mediator mutually agreed to by the Parties, with said mediation to be held in Hennepin County MN. If mediation is unsuccessful, then such dispute or claim shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association or other appropriate standard relating to disputes arising out of contract, before one arbitrator, with said arbitration to be held in Hennepin County MN.

SCI – Auction Buyer Policy
SCI offers donated hunts and items to its members at official SCI events through live auctions, silent auctions and the sale of raffle tickets for designated items. SCI’s policy for hunts or items acquired by members at auction or through a raffle program is as follows:
1. SCI offers hunts, art, jewelry, firearms and other tangible items for bid during live and silent auctions or for raffle. All items are transferred as is. All valuations are provided by donors and all descriptions are based on information provided by third parties and SCI shall in no event be held responsible for their accuracy. SCI does not make implied or expressed warranties or representation of any kind, nor does SCI deem to have made any representation or warranty of the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition of any item. No statement in the SCI publications, catalogs or brochures or in the bill of sale or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty, representation or assumption of liability by SCI. Any written warranties with respect to the items purchased are those solely and expressly supplied by the manufacturer or donor of that item or hunt. Although third parties sometimes provide appraisals with items such as jewelry, SCI does not verify or warrant their accuracy or origin. Appraisals are the result of subjective valuations and estimates of value and quality can vary markedly between competent and reliable appraisers. The provision of an appraisal does not represent a guarantee of value. Furthermore any written or visual presentation done or offered by third parties does not necessarily reflect the opinion or attitude of SCI.
2. The successful bidder (or “purchaser”) of an item (whether through a live auction, silent auction or raffle) will immediately sign a Buyer’s Agreement. The Buyer’s Agreement will be brought to where the purchaser is sitting for signature and the bidder/purchaser will retain one copy at that time. For silent auctions, the Silent Auction Bid Sheet or Silent Auction Sealed Bid Form is considered a Buyer’s Agreement of the purchaser to accept the indicated item and pay the bid amount. Purchaser’s signature on the Buyer's Agreement and the Silent Auction Bid Sheet or Silent Auction Sealed Bid Form demonstrate that the purchaser acknowledges that the agreement is a legal and binding contract to accept the item and pay the accepted bid amount. Any changes, deletions or additions to the description printed on the Buyer’s Agreement, which are agreed to by the purchaser and an authorized representative of the donor, must be noted and signed by both parties in order to be recognized as part of the auction purchase.
3. All auctions are final and there will be no exchanges or refunds on items or hunts. SCI has made every effort to ensure the quality of donated items or hunts. However, SCI does not guarantee the satisfaction of the donor or the purchaser in any case. In reference to hunt donations, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to contact the hunt donor immediately and make all necessary arrangements for hunt dates and the application for any necessary paperwork for licenses and /or permits. Failure to make necessary arrangements may constitute forfeiture.
