To bid or purchase through the platform, you must be at least eighteen (18) years old and legally capable of entering into a binding contract.

3. Binding Bids

All bids placed through the platform are legally binding. By placing a bid, you commit to purchase the item at the winning bid price in accordance with the listing and these Terms and Conditions. Failure to complete a transaction does not void this obligation.

Payment is required within three (3) business days of winning an auction unless otherwise stated in the listing or invoice. Orders not paid within this timeframe may be canceled without further notice and relisted. Repeated failure to remit payment may result in suspension or termination of account privileges.

ATR reserves the right to delay processing, place transactions on hold, request additional verification, or reject a payment if fraud prevention or authorization requirements are not satisfactorily met.

No shipment, release, or transfer of goods will occur until such wire payment has been received in full and confirmed by ATR.

7. Payment Disputes, Chargebacks, and Misuse

Buyers may not misuse chargebacks, payment disputes, claims, or other transaction remedies. A buyer may not dispute a charge based on buyer remorse, failure to review the listing, disagreement with disclosed item condition, or any issue that was clearly stated in the listing or otherwise excluded under these Terms and
Conditions. Buyers may not pursue duplicate recovery for the same transaction through more than one channel, including ATR, a card issuer, PayPal, Authorize.net, or any other payment processor or financial institution. If ATR has already issued a refund, credit, replacement, or other resolution, the buyer must not initiate or
continue any additional dispute or chargeback regarding the same matter. ATR reserves the right to challenge any dispute or chargeback that is improper, abusive, fraudulent, or duplicative and to submit relevant transaction records, listing details, communications, delivery confirmation, and other supporting documentation in support of its position.

proceeding, except where ATR seeks immediate injunctive relief, collection of amounts due, protection of confidential information or intellectual property, recovery of goods, or other relief that ATR determines requires prompt court action.
