In an auction, collectors place bids against other collectors to acquire an artwork. When the auction closes, the highest qualifying bid wins and a binding contract of sale is formed.

To participate in a card-based auction, you’ll need to create or sign into your Avant Arte account with a unique email address, and provide a valid shipping address and payment card. You may also be required to accept a resale agreement at the time of entry, where applicable.

When you enter your bid, you agree that if selected, your payment card will be automatically charged the full amount outlined at the time of entry.

You can only place one bid, but throughout the auction you can increase, cancel or withdraw your bid at any time before the auction closes. Once the auction has closed, winning bids are final. If you are a winning bidder, your order is confirmed and cannot be cancelled or modified.

Your card will be charged automatically after the auction closes. Your final charge may include optional framing, shipping fees, and applicable taxes, but will match the full amount outlined at the time you placed your bid.

A ranked auction is an auction format used for limited editions where there is no set price and multiple artworks are available. Collectors place bids to acquire one of the artworks.

Bids can be placed while the ranked auction is live. When the ranked auction closes, bids are ranked from highest to lowest, with the highest-ranking bids winning. If the edition size is X, the X highest qualifying bids are successful and a binding contract of sale is formed for each winning bidder. All winning bidders pay the same final price, equal to the lowest bid to successfully rank.

To participate in a card-based ranked auction, you’ll need to create or sign into your Avant Arte account with a unique email address, and provide a valid shipping address and payment card. You may also be required to accept a resale agreement at the time of entry, where applicable.

You can only place one bid at a time, but throughout the auction you can increase, cancel, or withdraw your bid at any time before the auction closes. Once the ranked auction has closed, winning bids are final. If you are a winning bidder, your order is confirmed and cannot be cancelled or modified.

Your card will be charged automatically after the auction closes. Your final charge may include optional framing, shipping fees, and applicable taxes, and will reflect the final auction price determined at close.

An on-chain auction is an auction format where bids are placed using ETH via a connected crypto wallet. On-chain auctions may operate as either a standard auction (single winner) or a ranked auction (multiple winners).

To participate in an on-chain auction, you’ll need to create or sign into your Avant Arte account and connect a compatible crypto wallet.

Bids can be placed while the auction is live. All on-chain bids are final once submitted and cannot be cancelled or withdrawn, even before the auction closes.

When the auction closes, the highest qualifying bid (or bids, in the case of a ranked auction) wins and a binding contract of sale is formed. If you are a winning bidder, your order is confirmed and cannot be cancelled or modified. Any non-winning bids are refunded automatically.

For ranked on-chain auctions, all winning bidders pay the same final price, equal to the lowest successful winning bid. If your bid was higher than the final price, the difference will be refunded automatically.

In addition to the artwork price, you may be required to pay shipping fees and applicable taxes. For some on-chain auctions, these charges are calculated after the auction closes and invoiced separately before dispatch.
