Acceptance and forum

These conditions of sale are fully accepted, without reservation, by the Offerors, the Purchaser and all others who compete for online upward sales, which take place on the Venini site. These conditions of sale are governed by Italian law; all disputes arising from the same will be referred, exclusively, to the jurisdiction of the Court of Venice.

Conduct of the Upward Sale

As in traditional auctions, upward sales are characterized by fully automatic bargaining, in which the buyer decides the price he is willing to pay for an item of his choice. Upward sales take place only online, on our website.

The operation of the upside sale is simple: the asset is put up for sale at a fixed minimum price, below which it will not be sold. The automatic bids sent by the upward sales system are made on the basis of a figure calculated on the percentage of the "base price", increases that accumulate at the starting price of trading, or the base price of the object put up for sale.

In the event that multiple bids are made on an object, whoever made the highest bid is the winner and the good is awarded. In addition to the reserve price, there is also another constraint in the negotiations represented by the maximum duration of the auction. After the duration of the online sale, negotiations stop, and the object is sold to the highest bidder.
In the upward sale, negotiations take place only virtually, in fact the technology adopted by Venini and the company systems perfectly integrated with the upward sale method allow our customers to access the auction anytime and anywhere, without any limitation of place or time. Participation in the sale is not necessarily direct as the monitoring systems for automatic bids are active 24 hours a day.

For the entire duration of the auction, participants are constantly notified of price changes and any raises, so that they can intervene directly in negotiations.

How do you participate in the upward sale?

Upward sales have two different types of catalog access:

⦁ Free access section, a purely informative area that offers details on the object offered for sale, the base price, the duration of the online sale and the estimate of the object
⦁ Section with controlled access, accessible only after registering on the site

To participate in the online sale, you must be logged in to the system using a user ID and password obtained during registration. Credentials can also be made available to certain types of users by Venini, sent directly to a verified e-mail box.

After activating the platform access credentials, you can access the individual items for sale and make offers through the bargaining features of the bid system, by entering a maximum bid. The bargaining system creates automatic emails, or push notifications if you are using an iOS app. The e-mails sent by the system are intended to inform participants who have sent an offer for an item for sale on the status of the desired item.

After the closing date of the online bidding negotiation, the buyer will receive all the information necessary for the balance of their purchases.
