Terms & Conditions

1. The Buckers Auction Is a Marketing Venue

The Buckers Auction is an online marketing platform that allows breeders to list and market rodeo stock in a timed, bidding-style format. While our services use an "auction" style presentation, The Buckers Auction is not a traditional auction service or auctioneer.

All representations, descriptions, and warranties regarding a lot are solely the responsibility of the consignor. This includes but is not limited to:

• Health and soundness
• Pedigree accuracy

• Bucking ability

The Buckers Auction does not guarantee payment from buyers or the completion of any transaction, or condition of any lot. Legal ownership of a lot does not transfer through The Buckers Auction—it is transferred directly between buyer and seller after the close of bidding.

We reserve the right to refuse service, suspend accounts, or remove listings at our discretion.
