1.2. Matters not covered by the Auction Terms are governed by the Terms and Conditions of the Online Shop (the "Shop Terms"), including the provisions on payment, delivery, complaints, the right of withdrawal and personal data protection. Capitalised terms have the meaning given to them in the Shop Terms, unless the Auction Terms provide otherwise.
1.3. The Auction Terms do not exclude or limit any consumer rights under mandatory provisions of law, in particular the Polish Consumer Rights Act.
1.4. Definitions:
1.4.1. AUCTION – bidding for a single Product (Auction Coin) held in the Online Shop, leading to a Sales Agreement with the Bidder who offered the highest price (Article 70¹ et seq. of the Polish Civil Code).
1.4.2. AUCTION SESSION – a group of Auctions with a common start time, announced at www.magikos-coins.pl/en/auctions (in other language versions: /pl/aukcje, /de/auktionen, /fr/encheres).
1.4.3. AUCTION COIN – a Product offered in an Auction. While the Auction is running, it cannot be bought in the Online Shop in the usual way.
1.4.4. BIDDER – a Customer with an Account who meets the conditions of point 2.1 and has placed a Bid.
1.4.5. BID – the Bidder's statement specifying the Maximum Amount they are willing to pay for the Auction Coin.
1.4.6. MAXIMUM AMOUNT – the highest price stated by the Bidder. It is not visible to other Bidders.
1.4.7. STARTING PRICE – the price at which the Auction starts.
1.4.8. RESERVE PRICE – an undisclosed price below which the Seller will not sell the Auction Coin. Whether it has been reached is shown on the Auction page.
1.4.9. WINNER – the Bidder whose Bid was the highest when the Auction ended, provided that the Reserve Price (if set) was reached.
2. Who can bid
2.1. Bidding is open to a Customer who:
2.1.1. is logged in to their Account in the Online Shop,
2.1.2. has not been excluded from Auctions under point 7.
2.2. Taking part in Auctions is free of charge.
3. How an Auction works
3.1. Each Auction page shows: the description and photos of the Auction Coin, the Starting Price, the current price, the number of Bids, the end date and time, whether the Reserve Price has been reached (if one is set) and the Bid history.
3.2. Prices and Bids are expressed in Polish zloty (PLN) and include taxes. Amounts in other currencies are for information only. If the Winner places the Order in another currency, the winning price is converted at the exchange rate used in the Online Shop at the time the Order is placed.
3.3. The Bidder places a Bid by entering the Maximum Amount and confirming it in the confirmation window. The lowest possible Bid is shown on the Auction page.
3.4. Automatic bidding: the system raises the price on the Bidder's behalf only as much as needed to keep the lead – by one bid increment above the next Bidder's Maximum Amount, but never above the Bidder's own Maximum Amount. The bid increment depends on the current price and is:
- below PLN 500 – PLN 10,
- from PLN 500 to PLN 1,999 – PLN 25,
- from PLN 2,000 – PLN 50.
3.5. If two Bidders enter the same Maximum Amount, the one who placed the Bid first leads.
3.6. If the leading Bidder's Maximum Amount is equal to or higher than the Reserve Price, the current price is automatically raised to the Reserve Price.
3.7. The leading Bidder may raise their Maximum Amount. This does not raise the current price, subject to point 3.6.
3.8. Extension: a Bid placed in the last 3 minutes before the end of an Auction extends it so that 3 minutes remain. Auctions in one Auction Session end one after another, a few minutes apart.
3.9. The end time of an Auction is determined by the Online Shop's server time, displayed on the page in Polish time.
3.10. A Bid is binding. It ceases to be binding when another Bidder places a higher Bid, or when the Auction is cancelled (point 6) or ends without reaching the Reserve Price. A Bid cannot be withdrawn, except in the case of an obvious mistake (e.g. an extra digit) reported without delay to info@magikos-coins.pl. The Seller decides whether to remove the Bid.
3.11. The Bidder receives e-mails confirming that their Bid was accepted, that they have been outbid and that they have won.
4. End of the Auction and conclusion of the Sales Agreement
4.1. When the Auction ends, a Sales Agreement for the Auction Coin is concluded between the Seller and the Winner at the current price at the moment the Auction ends.
4.2. If the Reserve Price was not reached or no Bid was placed, the Auction ends without a sale and no Sales Agreement is concluded.
4.3. The Winner receives an e-mail confirming the win with a "Pay now" button. Clicking it adds the Auction Coin to the Winner's cart at the winning price. The Winner chooses the delivery and payment method in the Order Form, in accordance with the Shop Terms.
4.4. The Winner must place the Order and pay within 3 days (72 hours) of the end of the Auction. The payment deadline is given in the e-mail and on the Auction page.
4.5. If the Winner does not pay within the deadline in point 4.4, the Seller may withdraw from the Sales Agreement within 14 days after the payment deadline by sending a statement to the Winner's e-mail address. The Seller may then offer the Auction Coin to another Bidder or put it up for auction again.
4.6. Other Products from the Online Shop may be added to an Order containing an Auction Coin. The value of the Auction Coin counts towards the free delivery threshold.
4.7. Discount codes, including loyalty programme codes, cannot be used in an Order containing an Auction Coin. A code added to the cart earlier is removed from it once the Auction Coin is added. No loyalty programme points are awarded for the value of the Auction Coin.
5. Right of withdrawal and complaints
5.1. Auctions are held exclusively online, with no possibility of attending in person, and are not a public auction within the meaning of point 8.9.1 (11) of the Shop Terms. Therefore, a Winner who is a consumer has the right to withdraw from the Sales Agreement within 14 days under the rules described in point 8 of the Shop Terms. The same right applies to an entrepreneur referred to in point 9 of the Shop Terms, to the extent specified there.
5.2. Complaints about an Auction Coin and about the course of an Auction may be submitted under the rules described in point 6 of the Shop Terms, in particular to info@magikos-coins.pl.
6. Cancellation of an Auction
6.1. The Seller may cancel an Auction before it ends only for important reasons: a material error in the description or price of the Auction Coin, its loss or damage, a technical failure preventing the Auction from running properly, or a suspected breach of point 7.1.
6.2. If an Auction is cancelled, the Bids placed cease to be binding and Bidders are informed on the Auction page. The Seller may put the Auction Coin up for auction again.
7. Fair bidding
7.1. The following are prohibited in particular: placing Bids with no intention to buy, raising prices from several Accounts, acting in agreement with other Bidders to artificially raise or lower prices, and disrupting the operation of the Online Shop.
7.2. In the event of a breach of point 7.1, the Seller may remove the Customer's Bids and exclude them from future Auctions. The Customer will be informed by e-mail.
7.2.1. A Customer who has not paid for a won Auction within the deadline in point 4.4 is excluded from future Auctions: after the first such case if they have no paid Order in the Online Shop, or after the second such case in all other situations. Information about the exclusion is shown on the Auction page.
7.2.2. The Customer may submit a complaint about the exclusion under point 5.2.
7.3. The Seller, its employees and their closest relatives do not bid in Auctions. The Seller may run test Auctions that are not visible to Customers and do not lead to a Sales Agreement.
