Description
eRock is an on-line Internet auction site, providing services for both buyers and sellers of Rock-n-Roll memorabilia and collectibles. Buyers are those that bid on items for potential purchase, while sellers are those who list the items for buyers to bid on. These services are as follows:

For Buyers eRock will:

Provide a means to place bids on items for (sale) auction.
Provide the necessary methods for follow-up on bids placed or auctions participated in.

For Sellers eRock will:

Provide a means for presenting items for (sale) auction.

items placed in the auction.

Registration

In order to participate at eRock, users must first register. Registration is free and non-binding. All personal information is kept strictly confidential, except for e-mail addresses, which are part of the auction process here at eRock. Although it is the user ID that is in plain view to the casual viewer.

The purposes for registration are to:

Provide "real world" contact information should the need arise.
Ensure to some degree the sincerity of participants.
Simplify participation in the eRock auction process.
Receive benefits offered by eRock.

Registration information will not be used for marketing or solicitation by eRock or third parties, and will be maintained in a secured database. Registration is subject to verification of the information provided by the registered user when deemed necessary by eRock's administration.

Rights of the Bidder

As a registered user on eRock, bidders have the right to submit valid bids on items for sale in the auction. Although the bidder cannot be forced to purchase items successfully bid on, note that failure to do so is not in keeping with the policies agreed to and its continued practice is grounds for loss of all rights to participate at this auction site. If up to three legitimate complaints (or -3 negative feedbacks) are filed against a bidder, they may be barred from the site. eRock reserves the right to revoke the privilege of participating for any reason. Please also note that in most states by basic definition of contract a bid is considered to be a binding contract and failure to comply could result in legal action by the parties involved.

Bidding Do's and Don'ts

Bidders should:

E-mail the seller with any questions prior to submitting a bid.
Bid only on items they can afford and are willing to purchase.
Bid only the amount(s) they are willing to pay for an item.
Contact or respond to the seller's email within three business
days of the end of an auction that was successfully bid on.
Purchase the item(s) successfully bid for.
Send payment to the seller in a timely manner.

Bidders should not:

Wait until after placing a bid to ask the seller a question.
Bid on item(s) they do not wish to purchase.
Bid amounts they are not willing to pay.
Refuse to purchase item(s) for which they have successfully bid on.

Bidding on items

Only registered users of legal age may place a bid on items presented in this auction site. eRock.net is merely the listing agent and is not responsible for any merchandise presented in the auction itself, but are willing to try and help out when ever possible with problems that may arise.

Placing bids

Registered users may place a bid for an item by using the form provided at the bottom of a viewed auction listing in the item description page and under the Bidding Rules. The bidder must enter a valid bid amount and quantity of items bid on. To get a full understanding of the bidding process and the auction itself, you are expected to read the Buyers Guide completely before placing any bids.

Retracting Bids

Bidders may cancel a bid while previewing their bid, but once the bid is placed it cannot be canceled. To do so would be unfair to the seller and other bidders in the auction. Should you make a mistake you should immediately contact the seller of that auction and try to explain. Sellers are generally forgiving of honest mistakes and at that point could choose to close the auction or continue the auction, but there will be no bid retractions.

Rights of the Seller

As a registered user, sellers have the right to list rock-n-roll related items for sale in the auction site. eRock reserves the right to refuse any item for any reason. Although the seller cannot be forced to actually sell items to winning bidders, failure to do so is not in keeping with the policies agreed to and its continued practice is grounds for loss of rights to participate at this auction site. If up to three legitimate complaints are filed against a seller, they could be barred from selling at this site. eRock reserves the right to revoke the privilege of selling at this auction site for any reason. Please also note that the basic definition of a contract is an agreement between two or more parties, i.e. seller and bidder, which is considered binding by most states and failure to comply could result in legal action by the parties involved.

Selling Do's and Don'ts

Sellers should:

Present honestly the items offered for sale.
Be as descriptive as possible about their item(s) for sale.
Accurately answer inquires about items for sale by potential bidders.
Contact the winning bidder(s) within three business days of the close of an auction.
Send out the merchandise to the winning bidder(s) in a timely manor upon receiving
their money. You should let the buyer know if you are going to wait more than two
weeks for check clearance before shipping their order.
List only items that come under the description of Rock-n-Roll memorabilia, Rock-n-Roll
collectibles, or music instruments and accessories used in Rock-n-Roll bands. eRock is
basically an auction site that specializes in Classic Rock.

Sellers should not:

And must not list an item more than one place and category at a time on eRock.
Bid on their own items and or have a friend or agent bid on their items for them.
This is called "shill bidding", it is not allowed, and it won't be tolerated.
Select who they wish to sell the item to, regardless of the winning bidders.
Make a habit of contacting the other bidders to sell items outside of the auction.
It's not really fair to eRock or the other sellers.
Refuse a legitimate claim by winning bidders of items presented.
List items of defamatory, trade libelous, unlawful, obscene, or pornographic.
And please do not try and sell bootlegged CDs, videos, and DVDs here. In other words...be cool.
List non music and or non rock related items like: Hip-hop, pop, new R&B, or Rap.
Place your phone number and or mailing address in the item description.
List two or more items in a "Multiple item Auction" unless the items are identical.
They should be listed separately or listed as (1) one item and sold as a lot.

Limits of eRock.net

eRock is only a listing agent. Our auction site acts as a venue for sellers to conduct auctions and for bidders to bid on seller's auctions. We are not involved in the actual transactions between the buyers and the sellers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety, or legitimacy of the items advertised, or the accuracy of the listings, the ability of the sellers to sell items, or the ability of the buyers to buy the items they bid on. We cannot and do not control whether or not sellers will complete the sales of items they offer or whether buyers will complete the purchase of items they have bid on. We have implemented a user feedback system to help you evaluate the kind of person your dealing with. We would encourage you to (e-mail) communicate directly with your trading partner to help with the evaluation of the person your dealing with.

Limits to Bidders

eRock cannot be held accountable for the actions of sellers, such as refusal to sell offered merchandise. It is the responsibility of the winning bidders to resolve such disputes with sellers. eRock is not responsible nor can we be held liable for the merchandise presented by its users. Please let eRock know if you feel fraud might be involved.

Limits to Sellers

eRock cannot be held accountable for actions of buyers, such as refusal to purchase. It is the responsibility of the sellers to collect any money for sold items from the winning bidders. But please let eRock know if you are having a hard time contacting the winning bidder.

Disputes

Should a dispute arise, eRock may act as mediator between the involved parties. Resolution of disputes is the full responsibility of the involved parties. Should it become necessary, in extreme cases, eRock may release contact information to said parties.
