As a buyer, you are obligated to complete the transaction if you are the highest bidder at the end of an auction (meeting the applicable minimum bid or reserve requirements) and your bid is accepted by the NWTF, unless the transaction is prohibited by law or by this Agreement. By bidding on an item you agree to be bound by the conditions of sale included in the item's description so long as those conditions of sale are not in violation of this Agreement or unlawful. Bids are not retractable except in exceptional circumstances such as: when the NWTF materially changes the item's description after you bid or when a clear typographical error is made. If you are the highest bidder and meet the aforementioned criteria, the credit card provided by you during your registration process will be charged the full amount of that highest bid plus any additional shipping and/or insurance charges. This auction uses technology to prevent auction sniping. Any bid placed in the last 30 seconds will extend the auction 5 minutes.

The NWTF only accepts credit cards as payment. All sales are in U.S. dollars. All shipping, insurance and other related shipping charges will be the responsibility of the successful bidder. In addition, purchasers residing outside the U.S. are responsible for the payment of customs, clearance, duty, brokerage and other related shipping charges. Merchandise will only be shipped after payment transaction has been approved.

WE, OUR SUBSIDIARIES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND OUR SUPPLIERS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

12. Resolution of Disputes.

In the event a dispute arises between you and the NWTF, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and the NWTF agree that any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of this Agreement or our services ("Claims") shall be resolved in accordance with one of the subsections below or as otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties. Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution and we will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation, as an alternative to litigation.

12.1 Binding Arbitration. For any Claim (excluding Claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $1,000, you or the NWTF may elect to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration conducted by telephone, on-line and/or based solely upon written submissions where no in-person appearance is required. In such cases, the American Arbitration Association or JAMS shall administer the arbitration in accordance with their applicable rules, or any other established ADR provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

12.2 Court. Alternatively, any Claim may be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Edgefield County, South Carolina or where the defendant is located (in our case Edgefield, South Carolina, and in your case your home address or principal place of business). You and the NWTF agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Edgefield, South Carolina.

12.3 Alternative Dispute Resolution. Alternatively, the NWTF will consider use of other alternative forms of dispute resolution, such as binding arbitration to be held in Edgefield County, South Carolina or another location mutually agreed upon by the parties.

All Claims (excluding requests for injunctive or equitable relief) between the parties must be resolved using the dispute resolution mechanism that is selected in accordance with this Section by the first party to file a Claim. Should either party file an action contrary to this Section 12, the other party may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to $1,000, provided that the party seeking the award has notified the other party in writing of the improperly filed Claim, and the other party has failed to withdraw the Claim.

13. General.

This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of South Carolina as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within South Carolina between South Carolina residents. We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to our services, and operation of the Site may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced. You agree that this Agreement and all incorporated agreements may be automatically assigned by the NWTF in accordance with Section 13 "Notices", in our sole discretion, Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section.

Sections, 2.3 (License), 4 (Access and Interference), 7 (Liability Limit), 8 (Indemnity) and 12 (Resolution of Disputes) shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
