The Children's Museum, the auction site provider (the "site provider"), supplies this online auction service (the "Service") to you subject to the following Terms of Service ("TOS"), which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you. In addition, when using the Service, you shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to the Service, which may be posted from time to time. All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS. By using this website and in completing the registration process, you agree to the TOS.

Bidding on items in the Service is free. All bids and listed retail values are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. To participate in the Service, you must have a Username and Password. If you do not yet have a Username and Password, you will be prompted to complete the registration process. If you are the winning bidder for an auctioned item, you are responsible to pick up or arrange for delivery of the item, and you are also responsible for all shipping costs unless otherwise noted or alternate arrangements have been agreed to in writing. Outside North America, you will be responsible for customs fees, taxes and duty. The Children's Museum expressly reserves the right to, but has no duty to, remove any item up for auction, in its sole discretion. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS IS". You are responsible for obtaining access to the Service, and that access may involve third party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). In addition, you must provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Service.

In consideration of your use of the Service, you agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or if the Children's Museum has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, not current or incomplete, the Children's Museum has the right to suspend or terminate your use of the Service and refuse any and all future use of the Service. In addition, the Children's Museum reserves the right to refuse the Service to any one at any time, in their sole discretion. The Children's Museum has the right to recover from you any costs, losses or damages incurred as a direct or indirect result of the provision by you of any untrue, inaccurate or incomplete information. All information provided during registration is subject to the Privacy Policy of the Service.

You must be 18 years or older. Use of the Service is limited to parties that lawfully can enter into and form contracts under applicable law. The Service is not available to parties whose use of the Service has been suspended or terminated.

You will breach these TOS if you attempt to access other users' Passwords, Usernames, account information or private information.

All auction items are available for pick-up only at the Children's Museum Admissions Desk (45 Forks Market Road, Winnipeg, MB, R3C 4T6). Item will be available 24 hours after auction closing time. Items must be paid in full at the time of pick up by full by cash, cheque, Mastercard, Visa, or Debit Card. You must complete any auction transaction within 30 days from the closing date in which you are the winning bidder unless other arrangements have been agreed to in writing.

The Children’s Museum reserves the right to collect, store, and process credit card information, including pre-authorization, in accordance with privacy laws. In the event a winning bidder fails to collect and pay for their auction item within 30 days of the auction closing, the Children’s Museum reserves the right to charge their credit card the full amount of their winning bid. You should not place bids in multiple auctions for the same items unless you intend to buy all items on which you place a bid.

The TOS constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Children's Museum, and governs your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and the Children's Museum. The TOS and the relationship between you and the Children's Museum shall be governed by the laws of Canada and the Province of Manitoba, as applicable, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. You and the Children's Museum and the site provider agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located with the City of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The failure of the Children's Museum to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavour to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain in full force and effect. The section titles in the TOS are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
