Terms of Service

Version 1.2 — Last Updated: September 25, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using the Central Florida Auction website and services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from using this site.

2. Communication Consent

Providing your phone number alone does not constitute consent. Wherever a phone number is entered — including during registration on our auction platforms — an unchecked consent checkbox is presented. You must affirmatively check the box to opt in to receive:

  • Text messages (SMS/MMS) regarding auction updates, bidding notifications, and promotional offers
  • Phone calls for auction-related communications, customer service, and marketing purposes
  • Email communications about auctions, services, and promotions

If you do not check the consent box, you will not receive marketing calls, texts, or emails. You acknowledge, if you do opt in, that:

  • Message and data rates may apply based on your carrier's plan
  • The frequency of messages may vary depending on auction activity
  • Calls may be made using an automatic telephone dialing system or prerecorded/artificial voice
  • Your consent is not required as a condition of purchasing any goods or services

3. TCPA Compliance

Central Florida Auction complies with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act, and related regulations. We will not send marketing calls or texts without your affirmative, checked-box consent, we will only contact you using the contact information you have provided, and you may opt-out at any time as described below.

4. Opt-Out Rights

You have the right to opt-out of marketing communications at any time:

  • Text Messages: Reply STOP to any text message to unsubscribe from SMS communications
  • Phone Calls: Request to be placed on our Do Not Call list during any call, or contact us at 863-422-7102
  • Email: Use the unsubscribe link provided in marketing emails

Please note that opting out of marketing communications will not affect transactional messages related to your account or auction participation.

5. Auction Participation

All bidders must register and comply with auction terms. Winning bids constitute a binding contract. Payment and pickup terms will be communicated at the time of auction. Central Florida Auction reserves the right to refuse service to anyone.

6. Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. We collect and use your personal information, including contact details, solely for auction-related purposes and as described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. We do not sell your information to third parties. We may share information with our auction platforms (such as HiBid and ProxiBid) for auction platform services.

7. Limitation of Liability

Central Florida Auction shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of our services. All items are sold "as-is" unless otherwise stated.

8. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to this page. Your continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.

10. Governing Law

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

11. Mandatory Binding Arbitration; Jury-Trial Waiver; Class-Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

By registering for, bidding in, purchasing from, consigning property to, or otherwise participating in any Central Florida Auction transaction, you agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to the transaction or these Terms and Conditions shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and not in a lawsuit in court and not as a class, consolidated, or representative action. You knowingly and voluntarily waive your right to have any such dispute decided by a judge or jury.

Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, shall take place in Polk County, Florida, and shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with those rules. The arbitrator's award shall be final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Florida substantive law and the Federal Arbitration Act govern.

Class-Action Waiver. You waive any right to participate in any class action, collective action, or consolidated proceeding against Central Florida Auction. Claims may be arbitrated only on an individual basis.

This provision does not apply to claims that cannot be arbitrated under applicable law, or to disputes that qualify for small-claims court, which may be brought there instead. If any part of this arbitration provision is found unenforceable, the remainder shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the unenforceable part shall be severed — provided that if the class-action waiver is found unenforceable, then the entire arbitration provision shall be void. This provision survives the termination of these Terms.

By using Central Florida Auction services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.
