You are responsible for, and bear the risk of, the security and unauthorized use of your account with us, and you agree to hold us harmless against all liability related to any unauthorized use of your account, so please keep your password and id secure. You agree that we may rely on all bids submitted, and information and instructions provided, by anyone logging into your account with your password and id.

2.4.  When you link to a FVA advertiser using a “Buy Direct” link or other active hyperlink, you are dealing directly with the advertiser and not with FVA. All interactions and transactions between you and the advertiser are independent from your dealings and agreement with us. You, on your behalf and on behalf of your successors, assigns, estate, heirs, executors, administrators, and insurers (each an “Indemnitor”), agree to defend (with counsel chosen by FVA) and hold FVA, its owners, officers, directors, agents, and all others with potential liability derivative of it (each a “FVA Indemnitee”), harmless against all claims of every type asserted against any FVA Indemnitee by any Indemnitor related to an advertiser’s performance or failure to perform in its dealings with you, regardless of whether litigation is commenced, and regardless of the reason for advertisers actions or inactions, or related to your use of the advertiser’s goods, services or facilities, whether you acquired them directly from advertiser or from FVA.

2.5.  If you enter a bid on an auctioned good or service on our site, and you have the highest bid at the end of the auction, at or above the minimum bid price, and your bid is accepted by FVA, you then automatically are obligated to complete the transaction and pay for the bid on item immediately at the end of the auction. Once made, bids may not be cancelled, rescinded, terminated, or amended by you for any reason. All bids are made in U.S. dollars only to be paid with Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover cards that are pre-registered by you for payment of amounts that are due to FVA. Your Acceptance of this Agreement constitutes your direction to FVA to charge the amount of your successful bids, and all other amounts identified as being due in connection with the successful bid, to the card identified by you to FVA during registration. Your credit card must be in your name unless the charges are pre-approved by the cardholder in a witting that is provided to us. This constitutes your payment instructions and is deemed to be your (or the cardholder’s) signature on file for all charges. Other than charging your pre-approved credit card, no other forms of payment accepted. All winning bids will be emailed a winning email and bidders must click on the link and pay for the won auction within 24 hours or the bid will be cancelled and the item will be relisted for sale.

2.6.  If you are the successful bidder on any good or service item, we will email to you a receipt, that we also refer to sometimes as a voucher. The voucher is only a receipt and has no cash value. We assign a unique identifier to each winning bid for each auction conducted on our site. The id number will be printed on your voucher. You must present the id number, your name, personal identification (such as a drivers license or passport) and the voucher to make a reservation or claim your purchased item. All reservations and claims for the goods and services must be made directly with the supplier at the numbers and locations identified to you by FVA. The supplier’s limitations on availability, cancellation or changing of reservations, quality of the service or good, and length of time within which the good or service must be claimed after purchase from us are disclosed to you at the time of bidding. FVA may not waive the supplier’s limitations and restrictions. Once purchased from us, your purchase is non-refundable, and non-cancelable. Your purchase includes all charges that have been identified in our description of the item, but no others. The supplier may not charge you any additional amounts for the item purchased from FVA, however additional goods or services purchased by you directly from the supplier are subject to additional charges and the supplier can require a credit card be provided to assure payment of additional items. FVA, not the supplier, will charge you for all sales, use, room and other applicable taxes on the item as purchased from FVA.

2.7.  We own the items being auctioned by us. We acquired the goods and services as partial payment to us for advertising services that we provided to our suppliers. We reserve the right to set minimum bids and to withdraw any item from auction at any time, and to postpone, delay, interrupt, or cancel any auction for any reason, at any time prior to acceptance of a high bid. Bids must be raised by the posted bidding increments. Use of software to automatically submit bids, or to be notified of bids of others, is used at your own risk.

In the event that a third-party provider of the good or service fails to provide the good or service as agreed, then at your election, the third party will provide you with a comparable or better good or service at no additional cost, or the third party or FVA will provide you with a refund. If a good or service purchased by you is claimed by a third party before you claim the item, or there is any other dispute over whether you are entitled to claim the item, then FVA will resolve the dispute in its sole discretion.

Some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusions shall only apply to the extent permissible under applicable law. FVA will not refund due to acts of god, viruses, weather, storms, etc unless it results in total property closure for the entire duration of valid dates for voucher.
