offers advertisements of real estate in a variety of
formats. These Terms and Conditions explain these
format offerings, clarify RE Champ's limited role as
a publisher of advertising and venue-provider, and
outline certain limitations on RE Champ's
obligations and liabilities.
Your use of the RE Champ Pages confirms your

amend these Terms and Conditions at any time by
posting a revised version on our website. The
revised version will be effective at the time we
post it. In addition, if the revised version
includes a substantial change, we will provide you

Binding
All transactions are legally binding for both
initial seller and auction winner.
Transaction or Computer Error
RE Champ, Champ Funding, and/or its employees,
officers, advisors, or agents are not to be held
liable for any situations arising from computer,
software, hosting, or other errors. Every attempt
will be made to correct these errors on a timely
basis.
NON-REFUNDABLE FEE
The $69 bidder's fee is non-refundable. At the
discretion of RE Champ, if the minimum number of
bidders has not placed a $69 fee and an auction for
that specific property does not commence, the $69
can be applied to another RE Champ property auction
or $69 (less processing costs $29.00) may be
returned to the bidder at the discretion of RE
CHAMP.
The $69 fee is for only one specific property and
only one specific auction.
ALL BIDS AT AUCTION ARE BASED ON MONTHLY PRINCIPLE
AND INTEREST PAYMENTS (P&I) TAXES AND INSURANCE ARE
EXTRA.
The sales price of each property is pre-determined
(established by the real estate
Agent/Broker of the initial seller).
Example: on a house for sale for $100,000.00, if the
winning bid is $500.00 monthly, the length off the
loan in this example would be 200 months or 16.67
years.
Official Bid
A bid is only considered received and official after
a confirming email is sent to the bidder. The same
rules apply to the bidder’s fee. No-Qualifying
Financing Upon the successful completion of a
specific auction, the winning bidder has two
options: (1) Pay cash within seven days of the
auction’s close for a 5% discount off of the winning
auction price or (2) agree to a non-qualifying fixed
amortized loan @ 0% interest.
This loan has no prepayment penalty, can never
increase in interest charges and only requires that
the person signing the loan can make a legally
binding agreement in the state in which the property
is located.
Number of Bidders
On any specific property and ensuing auction, the
number of bidders is determined by the stated value
of the property x 110% divided by 35. (i.e. $200,000
stated value x 1.1% ; $220,000 / 35 = 6286 maximum
bidders). At
the discretion of RE Champ, the number of bidders to
open a specific auction may be less than the above
calculation, but never more.
Authorized
Bidder
Any person or entity of legal age able to perform a
binding real estate agreement in the state in which
the property is located, who successfully pays the
non-refundable bidders fee through PayPal and has
been notified by email that they are an authorized
bidder for a specific property, and is not an
employee, contracted employee or partial owner of RE
Champ, shall have the right to bid in the specific
auction on that specific property. The authorization
email shall contain an authorized bidder’s number to
be used in the auction. RE Champ is not responsible
for any bidders not notified with an authorized
bidders number or for any and all mishaps whether
technical or otherwise.
