The price 100% committed in the auction will have previously included the import of the VAT, however there will be the possibility of including an additional value for an unpredictable event that is a load of the User, so the final amount may be higher.

6.2.3 The User as the holder of the credit card is obliged and accepts to keep sufficient funds in the credit card indicated to cover the Service Fee and other expenses that there is authorization. Unless otherwise provided in the Aucroom Platform, Service Fees are non-refundable.

Visa, MasterCard, American Express]) are found in different countries. Exclusively the bank or other transaction-processing agency determines the currency exchange fee, if applicable, and the transaction charge. The issuing institution of the card to the cardholder’s account can apply these charges. This means that the amount that appears on your debit or credit card statement may be different from the amount included on the payment summary page for a booking made on this website. If you have questions about these charges or a currency exchange fee applied to this booking, please contact your bank.
