The pre-bid Phase:

7.     Pre-bids can be submitted during the Pre-bid Phase on Classicfm.com in advance of the Live Phone Auction Phase.

8.     Pre-bids are not revealed to other bidders. In making a pre-bid, this enters the bidder into the Auction process and puts them in the running for a chance to win the auction item, although this is not guaranteed and will depend on other bids made both during the Pre-bid Phase and the Live Phone Auction Phase.

9.     In placing a pre-bid during the Pre-bid Phase, the bidder must be aware that the

pre-bid will be considered as a legitimate entry into the overall Auction.

10.  Once the Pre-bid phase has closed we will contact the the highest pre-bidder.

11.  We will make three attempts to contact the highest pre-bidder before the Live Phone Auction Phase opens to check for eligibility and confirmation of the amount they have bid.

12.  The highest, eligible bidder will be put through to the Live Phone Auction Phase and their bid will be the starting bid for the auction item on air.

13.  If the highest bidder is ineligible according to the terms, or they do not answer the phone when we contact them, we will move on to the next highest bidder.

14.  By entering into the Auction you consent to your first name being referenced on air.

15.  By entering into the Auction you accept that you will be available to participate in the Live Phone Auction Phase on air. We accept no responsibility if the prebidder is unable to listen to the Live Phone Auction Phase and increase their bid.

The Live Phone Auction Phase:

16.  During the Live Phone Auction Phase, bidders must call the Auction Phone Line only when directed to do so and only during the times specified in clause 4. Calls to this number are charged at local rates from a BT landline, other networks and mobile costs may be higher.

17.  The highest pre-bid will be the starting point for the Live Phone Auction Phase. If this bid is then beaten during the Live Phone Auction Phase this bid will then become the highest bid. This will continue until the Live Phone Auction Phase closes. The highest genuine bid received from an eligible bidder at the end of the Live Phone Auction Phase will secure the auction item.

18.  If at the end of the Live Phone Auction Phase there are two or more active bidders with equal bids, a final silent bid will be taken from each active bidder, and the highest silent bid will secure the auction item.

19.  Full details of the 2 auction items are included below.

20.  The offer of an auction item on-air or online during the Pre-bid Phase shall constitute an offer which will be deemed to be accepted by the highest bidder overall during both the Pre-bid Phase and the Live Phone Auction Phase.

21.  Please note that the phone lines may be busy during the Live Phone Auction Phase and your call may not be connected at the first instance.
