  1. HOW AUCTIONS WITH K24Plus WORK

6.1. Auctions on Our Website follow a very simple structure and in order to provide You with the knowledge required to apply skill and judgement in the Auction, We provide You with the following data for the Auction on Our Website:

6.2. RRP: this information is provided to the best of Our knowledge where relevant and is usually provided by the manufacturer. We cannot guarantee that the RRP is correct but will always use Our best endeavours to ensure that the RRP listed is as accurate as possible.

6.3. The Bid Entry Fee: this is the amount it will cost You, via Mpesa Paybill, to place a Bid for the Item. The Bid Entry Fee may vary depending on the Auction, so check this amount prior to placing each Bid to ensure that You are comfortable with the Bid Entry Fee, typically Ksh50 per bid.

6.4. A Unique Bid is deemed to be a Bid that is the only Bid placed for a specific amount within the Auction. If a further Bid is placed by another User for the exact same amount, then both Bids are deemed to be no longer Unique (i.e. they both become Non-Unique Bids).

6.5. In the event that there is no unique bid, i.e. all bids ranging from the lowest Ksh1 up to the highest bid have two or more bids placed, the successful bid shall be the first in time to place the bid that is the lowest with the least number of bids placed on it.

6.6. Auction close: in the case of a fixed time Auction, the auction closes when the time allocated to the auction shall have expired. In these fixed time Auctions, the auction is initially created by Us with a defined amount of time, e.g. 24 hours, one week, etc. The type of auction is clearly displayed on the website and in the media and advertising for the auction.

6.7. Upon completion of the Auction, the Successful Bidder will receive confirmation of their success by SMS.

6.8. We reserve the right to:

  • Suspend or terminate an Auction at any time in the event of technical problems or to investigate suspected irregular or fraudulent activity;

. Limit the Auctions that You may participate in;

  • Remove an auction if we feel it does not benefit our users and has not had sufficient interest. In this case all bids will be recredited to the user’s accounts who placed bids.

7.9. Further information about how the Auctions work in a simpler guide can be found in the FAQ sections of Our Website.

7.10. For the avoidance of doubt, any advice or help articles appearing on Our Website are intended solely as suggestions for techniques and should not be construed as providing a solution to becoming the successful bidder in the Auction. We accept no liability whatsoever for any actions taken by a User as a result of reading, or being informed about, any of the advice or written materials available on Our Website.

7.11. The Successful Bidder will pay K24Plus their bid amount. K24Plus, at its sole discretion may waive the requirement to pay by the bidder in lieu of testimonials and other marketing material supplied by the successful bidder.

7.12: Keywords. The K24Plus auction has a unique keyword, typically WEB that must be included by the bidder in the account name field of Mpesa together with the bid amount. At any given time, K24Plus accepts no liability for any mistakes made by bidders who do not follow the clear instructions provided herein and on the website and enter incorrect information into the account field when bidding.

7.13. Bid Increments: Bids are accepted in full shillings only. Cents, decimals or fractions thereof will be discarded and only the integer shilling amount will be accepted as a bid. K24Plus do not perform any rounding, up or down, on bids using cents, decimals or fractions, and bids including the same may at K24Plus’s discretion be accepted or denied.

7.14. In the event that a bidder refuses to or cannot accept the item that is offered in the auction, that bidder forfeits the auction item. In some circumstances, the next lowest unique bid may be deemed the successful bid and that bidder may be deemed to be and announced as the successful bidder, however this is solely at the discretion of K24Plus who may decide on an alternative course of action in such circumstances.

  1. CONFIRMATION OF THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER DETAILS

7.1. It is a condition precedent to formation of a Contract between the Successful Bidder and Us that the telephone number held by Us at the time of being announced the successful bidder in the Auction is valid and that the User can be reached by calling or text it via SMS. In the event that the telephone number is not correct, the Contract cannot be formed and the successful bid will be forfeited.

7.2. Upon completion of the Auction, the Successful Bidder will be required to confirm their registered telephone number by receiving a text from Us. We will attempt to call or text the Successful Bidder’s registered telephone number within two (2) working days of the Auction ending and may request that the User confirms some details from their Account in order to verify the User. In the event that the telephone number on file has voicemail, We will leave a message requesting that the User returns Our call to verify their Account. Alternatively, the Successful Bidder may call or email Us to request a call back. In any event, the only acceptable methods of verification is for Us to call and/or text You on the telephone number that You have provided as part of Your User Account details.

7.3. The Successful Bidder will have three (3) days from the close of the auction to confirm to K24Plus their information, if he or she does not confirm within this time period, K24Plus shall at their discretion presume the User does not want the item and it will be forfeited by the User.
