REWARDS YEAR AND EXPIRATION OF REWARDS POINTS
Each Year of the Rewards Program shall begin at 12:00 am CT on January 1 and shall end at 11:59pm CT on December 31, unless otherwise determined by Club ("Rewards Year").

AUCTIONS
Rewards Members who redeem or attempt to redeem his or her Rewards Points through an auction ("Bidders") do so subject to the following terms and conditions:
A Bid is a Contract: Bidders that place a bid in an auction enter into a binding contract with Club. Once the auction has ended and a winning bid is designated ("Winning Bid"), as set forth below, Club has full authority to subtract Rewards Points equal to the Winning Bid from the Bidder's Account.
Bidding Process: Rewards Members may not place a bid in an amount greater than the number of Rewards Points they have accumulated in his or her Account. The Winning Bid shall be designated at the close of bidding for each Reward, and shall be designated at the sole discretion of Club. No Rewards Points will be deducted from any Account until after the auction has closed for a given Reward.
Winning Bid: The Bidder whose bid is designated as the Winning Bid ("Winning Bidder") will receive an email notification after the close of the auction, notifying the Winning Bidder of the item(s) he/she has been awarded and the Winning Bid amount(s). Rewards Points will be deducted from the Account of the Winning Bidder immediately upon close of any auction. If the Winning Bidder's Account has an insufficient number of Rewards Points at the time the auction closes, Club will award the item(s) to the Bidder with the next highest bid who has a sufficient number of Rewards Points. The Winning Bidder agrees to abide by the Terms and all other Club policies and procedures that coincide with receiving a Reward.
Withdrawal and Adjustment of Item(s): From time to time it may become necessary to withdraw item(s) from an auction after they are listed. Club reserves the right to do so at any time, for any reason or no reason, before or during the auction. Club reserves the right to reject any and all bids in its sole discretion. No adjustment will be made after the auction has ended and/or Rewards have been awarded.
Interruption of Service: Club is not responsible for any interruption in service, errors, and/or omissions to the auction or Rewards Program, whether caused by Club or otherwise. Club does not guarantee continual, uninterrupted or error free service or use of the Rewards Program during the auction. Bidders acknowledge that auctions are conducted electronically and rely on hardware and software that may malfunction without warning. Club, in its sole discretion, may void any auction, temporarily suspend bidding and refuse to award any Reward item(s) that were affected by any malfunction.
Termination of Auction: Club reserves the right to alter or terminate any auction, at any time for any reason, at its sole discretion. The decisions of Club with respect to any auction are final.
