It is the winner’s responsibility to redeem and use their winning auction item by March 2023 unless otherwise noted in the item description.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. There will be no exchanges or refunds of items by the donors except where specified. Items are not transferable. PDS has made every attempt to describe the items and services correctly, but everything is sold “as is.” Purchasers are bound by the precise restrictions specified by the donors. The terms are not negotiable. Please read the specifications and limitations carefully as described on the auction website. 

By his or her purchase, the purchaser waives any claims for liability against PDS or the donor of property or service, nor is the donor responsible for any personal injuries or damages to property that may result from the utilization of property or services sold.
