We cannot be held responsible for any of the above possible issues, or for your bids not making it into the system. Rightside Auctions takes no responsibility for technical faults.

This does not mean you will have to pay the maximum amount you bid; you only pay one bid more than the next highest bid, and only up to your maximum bid. The software system will play out the bids as you would at a live auction and only uses the funds required to beat out the under-bidder at the prescribed bid increment.
