2023 Alley Ball Auction Rules

By bidding in the Alley Theatre's live and silent auctions, each bidder agrees to these auction rules:

  1. Unless otherwise specified, all auction gift certificates must be used or redeemed by April 22, 2024, or within one year of the date of the auction.
  2. All sales are final. There will be no exchanges or refunds unless otherwise noted. All items are "as is." Alley Theatre has attempted to describe and catalog items correctly, but neither warrants nor represents and in no event shall be responsible for the correctness of descriptions, genuineness, authorship, provenance, or condition of the items. No statement made in this catalog, or made orally at the auction or elsewhere, shall be deemed such a warranty, representation, or assumption of liability.
  3. The auction item value listed is an estimate of fair market value. Items have not been appraised unless so noted. The amount you pay above this fair market value estimate is normally tax deductible as a charitable contribution. Please consult your tax adviser to clarify the amount of deduction.
  4. Restaurant certificates do not include alcohol, tax, or gratuities unless specified.
  5. Payment for items purchased must be made in full on the night of the auction to the cashier or through self-checkout. The Alley Theatre accepts MasterCard, Visa, American Express, or a check made payable to Alley Theatre. Please allow 30 minutes after the silent auction bidding has closed before reporting to the cashier.
  6. Following payments, you may pick up your purchases in the checkout area. You must show your paid receipt for items to be picked up.
  7. The purchaser must pick up all items the night of the auction, unless special arrangements are made. Any item left unclaimed, without prior arrangements, will be sold and proceeds will go to the Alley Theatre.
  8. Any online bidders who are not attending the 2023 Alley Ball can pick their physical items up at the Alley Theatre at a mutually agreed upon date a time prior to June 30, 2023. Any digital or paper certificates won will be mailed to any online winners. 
  9. The Alley Theatre reserves the right to add or withdraw items, without notice, to or from the auction.
  10. Each person bidding assumes all risks and hazards related to the auction and items obtained at the auction. Each bidder agrees to hold harmless from any liability arising indirectly from the Alley Theatre, its elected and appointed officials, members and employees, the auctioneer(s), the auction company and its agents and employees, the event organizers, sponsors, and/or volunteers connected with the auction.
