Proxy Bidding Logic Sample Clauses

Proxy Bidding Logic. When a new high bid is entered, the system will automatically (i) send an email to the proxy bidder notifying the proxy bidder that he has been outbid (unless two proxy bids are competing in which case notification occurs at the end of this process), and (ii) if, and only if, the new high bid is less than the Proxy Bidder's Limit, the system will automatically raise the proxy bidder's bid above the new high bid, and notify the proxy bidder by email that a new proxy bid has been entered on his behalf. This process will continue each time a new high bid is entered until either (a) the proxy bidder wins the Auction because no new high bid is entered, or (b) the auction closes, at which time the system will be closed to new bids, although any competing proxy bids will be placed incrementally by the system until a winning bid is reached, or (c) the proxy bidder's Proxy Bid Limit is exceeded by a new high bid.
