Customers who abandon their purchases will be charged an additional $25 restocking fee per invoice and bidding will be deactivated. All fees must be paid in full before the customers' bidding is re-activated. MI Restaurant Auctions reserves the right to adjust/change/increase the Late Fees on any invoice.
