Iowa Chapter SCI – Auction Buyer Policy
Iowa Chapter SCI offers donated hunts and items to its members at official Iowa Chapter SCI events through live auctions, silent auctions and the sale of raffle tickets for designated items. Iowa Chapter SCI’s policy for hunts or items acquired by members at auction or through a raffle program is as follows:
1. Iowa Chapter SCI offers hunts, art, jewelry, firearms and other tangible items for bid during live auction. All items are transferred as is. All valuations are provided by donors and all descriptions are based on information provided by third parties and Iowa Chapter SCI shall in no event be held responsible for their accuracy.

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, Iowa Chapter 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 Iowa Chapter SCI.

Although Iowa Chapter SCI makes reasonable efforts to list all extra and ancillary expenses not included in hunt, travel, service and other items, lists of expenses in auction item descriptions should not be considered exhaustive or definitive and Iowa Chapter SCI will not be held responsible for their completeness or accuracy. The amounts of additional expenses listed in auction item descriptions are approximations and are subject to change without notice. Bidders should contact relevant donors before bidding for additional and updated information about expenses one can expect to incur in taking a hunt or trip or in using a service or item.
