Terms of service

Welcome to Clio's Legacy. Thank you for visiting our website and we are glad you are here. These are our Terms of Use (these "Terms of Use") which describe for you the terms, conditions, and rules applicable to your use of and access to our website located at https://clioslegacy.com/ or any other Clio's Legacy website that displays a link to these Terms of Use, along with the online auctioning services and e-commerce platform made available by Clio's Legacy (collectively, the "Services"). These Terms of Use do not apply to any other website, service, or application of Clio's Legacy, or any websites, services, or applications linked to or from the Services. In these Terms of Use, Clio's Legacy is sometimes referred to simply as "we," "our," or "us."

These Terms of Use form a legally binding agreement between Clio's Legacy and you, so please read them carefully. By accessing or using the Services you are expressly agreeing to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, as well as all applicable laws and regulations. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO USE THE SERVICES AND MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES. Clio's Legacy may revise and update these Terms of Use at any time; please periodically review them, because your continued usage of the Services indicates your agreement with any such changes.

You further understand and agree that any updates, enhancements or added features of the Services shall be made part of these Terms of Use.

1. Accessing the Services

1.1 Eligibility. You may use the Services only if you: (i) are at least eighteen (18) years of age and have the capacity to form a binding contract; (ii) are not barred from using the Services under applicable law; and (iii) use the Services in compliance with these Terms of Use and all applicable laws.

1.2 Availability. The Services are made available for use in the United States. Although the Services are accessible worldwide, the Services are not necessarily appropriate for use outside the United States. Your use of the Services is void where prohibited. If you choose to access the Services from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and you are solely responsible for complying with applicable local laws. The Services may be modified, updated, interrupted, suspended, or discontinued at any time in whole or in part without notice or liability.

1.3 Registration and Account Information. In order to use certain Services (such as to make bids through our online auction), you must register and create an account with us. When registering for an account, you will be asked to provide certain information, including personal information about you. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information about our data collection and handling practices. You agree that all information you provide to us is correct, current, and complete. You agree to notify us of any changes to such information by updating your account profile or contacting us as set out in Section 17.3. You must keep your username and password confidential and you may not share your password with anyone. You agree to notify us immediately of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of, or access to, your username or password or any breach of the security of your account.

1.4 Verification. We may (but are not obligated to) verify your identity, ownership of a payment method, or eligibility to participate in the Services. We may place temporary authorization holds, require a refundable deposit, or request additional documentation before, during, or after any use of the Services. We may approve or deny participation in the Services in our sole discretion.

2. Use of the Services

2.1 Auction Platform. Clio's Legacy operates a platform that enables celebrities and other donors ("Donors") to offer items for auction ("Auction Items") to benefit one or more nonprofit organizations designated by the Donor (each, a "Beneficiary Nonprofit"). Unless expressly stated for a particular auction, Clio's Legacy is not the manufacturer of Auction Items, and all Auction Items are offered "as is" and "as available" as further described in this Terms of Use.

2.2 Sales Platform. Clio's Legacy may also make items available for sale as part of the Services ("Sale Items"). Sale Items are items being made available for purchase by you from Clio's Legacy.

2.3 No Professional Advice. We do not provide legal, tax, or accounting advice. To the extent any portion of a Winning Bid might be eligible for charitable deduction treatment, you are solely responsible for determining deductibility and for obtaining any necessary substantiation from the Beneficiary Nonprofit. Consult your own advisor.

2.4 No Agency to You. We are not your agent, broker, or fiduciary. We may act as a limited payments agent to receive payments from you and remit proceeds (net of our fees and costs) to or for the benefit of a Beneficiary Nonprofit.

3. Auction Format; Bidding; Winning Bids

3.1 Auction Listings. Each listing for an Auction Item ("Listing") describes the applicable Auction Item, bidding window, starting bid and increment, any reserve price, shipping or pick‑up method, estimated fulfillment time, and any auction‑specific terms ("Posted Auction Terms"). Posted Auction Terms are incorporated into these Terms of Use. In the event of a conflict, the Posted Auction Terms govern for that Listing.

3.2 Binding Bids; No Retractions. Placing a bid is a binding offer to purchase the Auction Item at your bid price, plus any applicable fees, taxes, shipping, insurance, and other charges disclosed at or before checkout. Bids may not be retracted or canceled. Please bid responsibly.

3.3 Closing; Extensions; Tie Bids. Unless otherwise stated, auctions are timed. We may, in our discretion, extend closing to reduce "sniping," resolve tie bids in a manner we deem reasonable (including awarding to the earliest received bid at the winning amount), and correct or cancel obvious errors in a Listing. All auction periods—including start times, end times, countdowns, and any automatic extensions—are determined solely by Clio's Legacy's official server clock, which operates on Eastern Time (U.S.) and observes Daylight Saving Time. In the event of any discrepancy, the server clock prevails over any time displayed on a user's device, in emails, or by third-party services.

3.4 Reserve; Removal. Listings may be subject to reserve. We may withdraw a Listing, remove any bid, or cancel an award or sale to address suspected error, fraud, abuse, or violation of these Terms of Use.

3.5 Winning Bid; Contract Formation. When an auction closes, the highest valid bid that meets or exceeds any reserve is the "Winning Bid," and a binding contract to purchase the Item is formed between the winning bidder and the applicable seller (which may be the Donor or Clio's Legacy as seller of record, as specified in the Posted Auction Terms).

4. Financial Terms

4.1 Premium and Platform Fees. Some auctions may include a buyer's premium and/or platform or processing fees. Any such amounts will be disclosed in the Listing or at checkout.

4.2 Taxes. You are responsible for all applicable sales, use, value‑added, excise, import/export, customs, or similar taxes, duties, and fees. We may collect and remit taxes where legally required and may estimate taxes based on available location data. Any charitable receipts (if applicable) will be issued by the relevant Beneficiary Nonprofit, not by Clio's Legacy. We do not guarantee the tax treatment of any transaction.

4.3 Currency; Conversions. Unless the Listing states otherwise, all amounts are in U.S. Dollars. If you pay in another currency, your financial or payment provider may charge conversion or other fees for which you are solely responsible.

4.4 Disbursements. Following settlement of Winning Bids and deduction of applicable fees, costs, and charges, we will arrange for disbursement of net proceeds to or for the benefit of the Beneficiary Nonprofit designated for the Listing.

4.5 State Filings. Certain states require disclosures or filings for commercial co‑venturers or charitable sales promotions. We may publish state‑specific disclosures on the Services. Your purchase is from the applicable seller identified in the Listing and not a donation to Clio's Legacy.

5. Payment

5.1 Timing. Unless otherwise stated in the Listing, the full amount due for a Winning Bid (including all fees, taxes, shipping, and insurance) must be paid within twenty-four (24) hours after the auction closes. Payment for Sale Items are due at the time of purchase.

5.2 Methods. We use third‑party payment processors. By providing a card or other payment method, you authorize us and our processors to charge the amounts due, create and store tokens on your account for future charges, and initiate reversals, credits, or additional charges for unpaid amounts, shipping adjustments, or refunds in accordance with these Terms of Use.

5.3 Holds and Chargebacks. You consent to pre‑authorization holds and agree not to initiate chargebacks except where required by card‑network rules. If a chargeback or payment failure occurs, you remain responsible for the full amount due and any associated costs, including collection costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.

5.4 Failure to Pay. If you fail to pay when due, we may cancel the sale, permanently or temporarily suspend your account, keep any deposit, re‑offer the Auction Item or Sale Item, and/or seek additional remedies permitted by law.

6. Shipping; Risk of Loss; Title

6.1 Auction Items. Clio's Legacy does not store, hold, or ship any Auction Items and all shipping of Auction Items is the sole responsibility of the Donor. Shipping or pick‑up options are stated in the Listing. Estimated delivery windows are estimates only. Title and risk of loss transfer to you upon the Donor's delivery of the Item to the carrier (for shipped Items) or upon pick‑up. You must provide an accurate, deliverable shipping address and promptly respond to reasonable fulfillment inquiries. If a shipment is returned or undeliverable due to your act or omission, you are responsible for redelivery costs.

6.2 Sale Items. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance by sending you an email confirming the Sale Items have been shipped. We will arrange shipment of your order to the address you provide, and shipping times are estimates only. Title to the products transfers to you once we deliver them to the carrier at our fulfillment center, but the risk of loss or damage passes to you only when you (or a person you designate) take physical possession of the products at the delivery address. If your order is lost, stolen, or damaged in transit, please notify us promptly so we can work with the carrier to investigate and, if applicable, provide a replacement or refund. You should inspect your order immediately upon delivery and report any visible damage, shortages, or incorrect items within two (2) business days of receipt.

7. Item Descriptions; Authenticity; "As‑Is"

7.1 Descriptions. Unless expressly stated, photographs, videos, and written descriptions are for general reference only. Colors, sizes, and appearances may vary. We may update Listings to correct errors or clarify details.

7.2 Certificates; Third‑Party COAs. If a Listing refers to a certificate of authenticity ("COA") or other documentation, the COA or documentation (if any) will be provided by the identified issuer. We do not warrant the accuracy of third‑party COAs and are not responsible for their statements.

7.3 No Warranties; As‑Is/As-Available. Except as prohibited by law or expressly stated in Posted Auction Terms, all Auction Items and Sale Items are sold "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," with all faults, and without warranties of any kind, express or implied. You acknowledge that certain Auction Items may be available only in a "game-worn", used, or damaged state.

10. Third‑Party Services

The Services may contain links to other websites or frame information from other websites that are not under the control of Clio's Legacy and use of the Services may entail the use of third-party services, such as payment processors.

No permission is hereby granted to you to link from any other website to any portion of the Services, or to frame any content contained in the Services without our prior written permission.

11. Suspension; Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services (including participation in specific auctions) at any time, with or without notice, if we believe (in our discretion) that you have violated these Terms of Use, engaged in fraud or abuse, created risk or possible legal exposure for Clio's Legacy, Donors, or others, or for any other reason. You may stop using the Services at any time. The following sections shall survive any suspension or termination of the Services: 4.2, 4.5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 17.

YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES AND ANY ITEMS ARE AT YOUR SOLE RISK. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS OF USE OR REQUIRED BY LAW, THE SERVICES AND ALL ITEMS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON‑INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT DESCRIPTIONS OR OTHER CONTENT ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, CURRENT, OR ERROR‑FREE.

13. Limitation of Liability and Release

13.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL CLIO'S LEGACY OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, VOLUNTEERS, AGENTS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR DATA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE, THE SERVICES, OR ANY ITEM WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US FOR THE ITEM AT ISSUE DURING THE 12‑MONTH PERIOD BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.

13.2 By using any of the Services, you acknowledge and agree that you release, remise, and forever discharge Clio's Legacy, its subsidiaries, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, suppliers, licensors and agents (and its and their successors, officers, directors and employees) from any and all claims, complaints, demands, causes of action, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, legal fees, costs, and disbursements of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown that arise out of or are in any way related to your use of the Services. If you are a California resident, you waive California Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Clio's Legacy and its officers, directors, employees, volunteers, agents, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your access to or use of the Services or any Auction Item or Sale Item; (b) your breach of these Terms of Use or any Posted Auction Terms; (c) your violation of law; (d) your User Content; or (e) any dispute or issue between you and any Donor, Beneficiary Nonprofit, or other user.

15. Dispute Resolution

15.1 Governing Law. The Services (excluding any linked websites) are controlled by Clio's Legacy from its offices within the State of Florida, United States. By accessing and using the Services, you agree that all matters arising from or relating to the use of the Services, these Terms of Use, and the Privacy Policy shall be governed by the laws (both substantive and procedural) of the State of Florida and the laws of the United States of America, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles. You also agree, and by using the Services hereby submit, to the exclusive personal authority and venue of the courts of the State of Florida relating to any dispute arising out of your use of the Services. You agree and acknowledge that your use of the Services, and all transactions occurring in connection with the Services, shall be deemed to have occurred and taken place solely in the State of Florida, United States of America. Your use of the Services is void where prohibited by laws in jurisdictions to which you are otherwise subject, and you agree that you shall not visit or use the Services in any such circumstances. Those who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

15.2 Dispute Resolution. If you have any concern or dispute regarding the Services, these Terms of Use, or the Privacy Policy ("Claim"), you agree to first try to resolve the dispute informally and in good faith by contacting us and providing a written Notice of Claim to the address provided below. The Notice of Claim must provide Clio's Legacy with fair notice of your identity, a description of the nature and basis of your Claim, and the relief you are seeking, including the specific amount of any monetary relief you are seeking, and cannot be combined with a Notice of Claim for other individuals. If any dispute related to your Claim is not resolved within 45 days of Clio's Legacy's receipt of the Notice of Claim, any resulting legal actions must be resolved through final and binding arbitration administered by a single neutral arbitrator located in Florida to be agreed between the parties (such as a retired state court or federal judge) and conducted in accordance with the expedited procedures set forth in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Neither party shall initiate legal action until 45 days after the Notice of Claim is received by Clio's Legacy. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of the Terms of Use or formation of the Terms of Use, including whether any dispute between us is subject to arbitration (i.e., the arbitrator will decide the arbitrability of any dispute) and whether all or any part of these Terms of Use are void or voidable. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language, but any witness whose native language is not English may give testimony in the witness's native language, with simultaneous translation into English (at the expense of the party presenting the witness). Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered and will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction having jurisdiction over you and us. However, if a temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief is the only appropriate and adequate remedy for a breach of these Terms of Use, such action may proceed without first resorting to arbitration. Any such claims arising from or relating to the use of the Services, these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy will be heard and resolved in the federal and state courts located in Florida. In the event of a conflict between the rules of the arbitration provider and the Terms of Use, including with respect to the assessment of the fees and costs of arbitration, the Terms of Use will govern.

15.3 Limitations on Claims. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any Claim arising out of or related to use of the Services, the Terms of Use, or the Privacy Policy, is permanently barred if not brought within one year of the event resulting in the Claim.

15.4 Class Action Waiver. You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and you may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Nonetheless, if any portion of this class action waiver is deemed unenforceable or invalid as to a particular remedy, then that remedy (and only that remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and may be sought in court. The parties agree, however, that any adjudication of remedies not subject to arbitration shall be stayed pending the outcome of any arbitrable claims and remedies.

16. Export and Copyright Compliance

16.1 Export. You may not use the Services or purchase Items if you are, or you are acting on behalf of, any person or entity that is (a) located in a country or territory embargoed by the United States; (b) listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited, denied, or restricted parties; or (c) otherwise the subject of sanctions. You are responsible for compliance with all export and import laws and regulations.

16.2 Copyright. Clio's Legacy respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Services to do so as well. In accordance with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) applicable to internet service providers (17 U.S.C. Section 512), Clio's Legacy has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users, members, subscribers, or account holders who are deemed to be repeat infringers. If you believe that your work has been copied and has been posted to this Services in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide Clio's Legacy's copyright agent the following written information: (i) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest; (ii) a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed upon; (iii) a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Services; (iv) your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and an email address; (v) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) a statement made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf. Clio's Legacy reserves the right to remove any content posted to the Services at our sole discretion. Please contact our copyright agent to provide us notice of alleged copyright infringement at [______].

17. Miscellaneous

17.1 General Terms. These Terms of Use, together with Posted Auction Terms and any policies expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings on the subject. You may not assign or transfer these Terms of Use without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms of Use without restriction. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.

17.2 Modifications. We may modify the Services and these Terms of Use from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice (for example, by posting the updated Terms of Use and updating the "Date of Last Update" above). Changes will apply prospectively. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms of Use.
