Bid Break Limited Terms & Conditions

Oct 16, 2026

1. Important information and key terms

These terms apply every time you register with, bid on or book through Bid Break. Please read them before you bid. The summary below picks out the points that matter most; it does not replace the full terms.

  • We are a marketplace. The Owner, not us, provides your stay. We run the auction and arrange the booking as the Owner's agent (clause 2).
  • A winning bid is binding. If you win, you must pay the Winning Bid plus a 5% Service Fee, which is shown during the Auction, and a contract for the stay is made (clauses 4, 5 and 9).
  • No refunds if you change your mind. Once you have won, you cannot cancel or get a refund, except in the cases set out in clause 7 and where the law gives you a right. We recommend travel insurance (clause 6).
  • Auctions can run past the advertised time. A bid in the last 30 seconds extends the auction by 2 minutes (clause 4.7).
  • Your legal rights are not affected by anything in these terms (clause 11).

In these terms, the following words have these meanings:

2. Who we are and our role

2.1 We operate the Platform, an online marketplace where Owners offer last-minute nights at holiday cottages by auction. We are Bid Break Limited, company number 17434473, registered office24 Hicks Close, London, England, SW11 2LQ . You can contact us at support@bidbreak.co.uk.

2.2 We are not the owner or operator of any Property. When you win an Auction, the contract for the Stay is between you and the Owner. We act as the Owner's agent to run the Auction, take payment and send your Booking Confirmation. We are not a party to the contract for the Stay.

2.3 The Owner is responsible to you for the Stay, including the description of the Property, its condition and safety, and providing the accommodation on the agreed dates. Each Listing tells you whether the Owner is acting as a business. When you win an Auction and your payment is received, we will give you, in your Booking Confirmation, the Owner's name and contact details, the Property address and the details of your Stay (clause 5.5). Where an Owner is not acting as a business, some consumer rights that apply against businesses may not apply to your contract with them.

2.4 We are responsible to you for our own services, including running Auctions, handling Bids and taking payment. We will provide those services with reasonable care and skill.

2.5 Owners create a Listing either by entering the Property details, holiday information and photos themselves, or by linking their Airbnb host account, in which case we import that information automatically. We publish this information in good faith. Owners must also connect an iCal calendar link so that unavailable dates are blocked automatically and double bookings are avoided. Calendars can take time to update, so we cannot guarantee that a Property is free for the dates shown (see clause 7). Where an Owner links an Airbnb host account, we also import the Property's original Airbnb price for the Stay dates, and the Platform shows it next to the Starting Price so that you can see the saving. Where an Owner creates a Listing manually, the Owner must enter the original price themselves. The original price must be the genuine price at which the Owner has advertised or normally offers the Property for those dates. It is shown for comparison only, and we do not guarantee that the same Stay would be available at that price elsewhere. We carry out checks on Owners before they can list a Property, including verifying identity and ownership or authority to let, but we do not inspect every Property.

2.6 These terms apply to Guests. Owners who list a Property are bound by separate terms with us (the Owner Terms). The Owner Terms are not part of your contract with us and do not reduce your rights under these terms.

2.7 These terms are in English, and all communication with you will be in English.

3. Accounts and eligibility

3.1 You must have an account to bid. You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a legally binding contract.

3.2 You must give accurate, complete and current information when you register, including your name, email address, telephone number and payment details. Please keep these up to date.

3.3 You may hold only one account. You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for everything done through your account. Tell us at once if you think someone else has used it.

3.4 You must create a profile, add a valid payment card and pre-authorise us to take payment from it if you win, before you can bid (clause 5.1).

3.5 We may ask you to verify your identity or payment method, before bidding or before we confirm a Stay, to prevent fraud. We may refuse to open or may suspend an account where we reasonably believe it is necessary for that purpose or because of a breach of these terms (clause 12).

3.6 If you book on behalf of a group, you confirm that you have authority to do so, that every person staying will follow these terms and the Listing's house rules, and that you are responsible for them.

4. How the auctions work

4.1 What a Listing tells you. Each Listing shows the Property and its address area, the Stay dates and check-in and check-out times, the maximum number of guests, the Starting Price, the original price (clause 2.5), the minimum Bid increment, the Closing Time, the house rules, any mandatory charges, whether a Reserve Price applies, and whether the Owner is a business or a private individual. Read the Listing in full before you bid.

4.2 Last-minute Stays. Auctions are for Stays that begin within a week after the Closing Time. Because of that, you will usually need to travel soon after the Auction ends.

4.3 Placing a Bid. To bid, you must be logged in and have a valid payment method on your account. Each Bid must be at least the Starting Price and at least the minimum increment above the current highest Bid. A Bid is an offer to pay that amount for the Stay. It does not include the Service Fee, which is added to it and shown clearly, together with the Total Price, before you confirm each Bid and throughout the Auction. Bids are binding. Because Auctions are short, you cannot withdraw, reduce or cancel a Bid once it has been placed, so please check the amount and the Total Price before you confirm it.

4.4 What other bidders see. The Platform shows the current highest Bid and the number of Bids. It shows bidders only by an anonymised username.

4.5 Reserve Price. Where a Listing says a Reserve Price applies, the Owner is not required to sell the Stay unless a Bid reaches it. The Platform shows whether the reserve has been met but does not reveal the amount. If the Closing Time passes and the reserve has not been met, the Auction ends with no winner, no contract is made and no payment is taken.

4.6 Closing Time. The Closing Time is shown in UK time with a live countdown. Our systems' clock is the official time for every Auction. Do not rely on the countdown on your device, because it may differ slightly from our clock.

4.7 Automatic extension. If a valid Bid is placed in the last 30 seconds before the Closing Time, the Closing Time is automatically extended by 2 minutes from the Closing Time then in effect. This happens every time a valid Bid is placed in the last 30 seconds of the extended period. The Auction ends only when 30 seconds pass without a valid Bid. You do not need to refresh your screen, and the Platform will show the new Closing Time.

4.8 Who wins. When the Auction closes, the highest valid Bid that meets any Reserve Price is the Winning Bid. If two Bids are for the same amount, the one placed first wins. We will tell you by email and in the Platform whether you have won.

4.9 When the contract is made. When the Auction closes with a Winning Bid, the Owner accepts that Bid through us as their agent. A contract for the Stay is then made between the winning Guest and the Owner on these terms and the details in the Listing. Your Booking Confirmation will confirm it. If you did not win, your Bid lapses and nothing is charged.

4.10 No manipulating Auctions. Owners, their family members, their staff and anyone acting for them must not bid on their own Property. No one may place Bids to push up the price artificially, work with others to affect an Auction, or use bots, scripts or other automated tools to bid, except any automatic bidding feature we ourselves provide. We may cancel Bids, void an Auction, cancel any resulting Stay with a full refund, and suspend or close accounts where we reasonably believe this has happened.

4.11 Technical problems and errors. If a technical fault, outage or obvious error (such as a wrong date or price in a Listing) affects an Auction, we may pause, extend, restart or cancel it. If we cancel a Stay because of an error in a Listing or on the Platform, we will refund you in full under clause 7.2. We are not responsible for Bids that fail because of problems with your internet connection or device.

4.12 [Optional: automatic bidding. If we offer automatic bidding, you can set a maximum amount and the Platform will place Bids for you, in the minimum increments needed, up to that maximum. Every Bid placed for you is binding in the same way as one you place yourself, and any such Bid in the last 30 seconds will extend the Closing Time under clause 4.7.]

5. Winning bids, payment and booking

5.1 Payment method. Before you can bid, you must save a valid payment card and pre-authorise us to take payment from it if you win. By placing a Bid, you confirm that authorisation for the Total Price of any Stay you win. We will not take any payment if you do not win.

5.2 The price you pay. The total you pay (the Total Price) is the Winning Bid plus our Service Fee of 5% of the Winning Bid, plus any mandatory charges shown in the Listing (for example cleaning or linen). Prices include VAT where it applies. The Platform shows the Service Fee and the Total Price during the Auction, before you place each Bid. We will not add any other mandatory charge after you win. Optional extras are shown separately in the Listing before you bid. The Damage Charge in clause 5.6 is not part of the Total Price and is taken only if damage is caused.

5.3 When we take payment. We take payment of the Total Price in full, immediately, as soon as the Auction closes and you have won. We collect it as the Owner's agent, so payment to us settles your obligation to pay the Owner. Payments are made in pounds sterling and processed by Stripe. We do not charge extra for paying by card.

5.4 If payment fails. If we cannot take payment within two hours of the Closing Time, we will tell you and give you the chance to fix it. If payment is still not received, we may cancel the booking and offer the Stay again, and we may suspend your account until you have paid any outstanding amount. You remain responsible for any charges your bank makes.

5.5 Booking Confirmation. Once payment is received, we will send you a Booking Confirmation by email. It includes the Property address, the Owner's name and contact details, check-in instructions, the house rules and the amount you paid. Please check it as soon as you receive it and tell us straight away if anything is wrong.

5.6 Damage Charge. By winning an Auction, you authorise us to keep your card details with our payment provider and, after your Stay, to charge that card up to £500 in total for damage to the Property or its contents caused by you or your party, other than fair wear and tear. We will take a Damage Charge only if all of the following apply: (a) the Owner reports the damage to us within three days of check-out, with evidence such as photographs and an invoice or estimate; (b) the Owner and you have not been able to resolve it directly; (c) we have told you about the claim, sent you the evidence and given you seven days to respond; and (d) after considering what both you and the Owner say, we reasonably decide that you or your party caused the damage. The Damage Charge will be no more than the reasonable cost of repair or replacement and will never exceed £500 for any one Stay. We will send you an itemised statement when we take it. We will not take a Damage Charge more than [28] days after check-out. The £500 limit applies only to what we can take from your card. It does not limit your legal responsibility for damage you cause, and the Owner may claim any remaining cost from you directly.

5.7 Fraud checks. We may carry out fraud and identity checks on a Winning Bid or payment. If we cannot satisfactorily complete them, we may cancel the booking and refund you in full.

5.8 Receipts. You can download a receipt and, if applicable, a VAT invoice from your account.

6. No cancellation or refund once you have won

6.1 All winning bids are final. Once an Auction closes and you are the winner, you cannot cancel the booking, change the dates or get a refund because you have changed your mind. This applies to every Stay, whatever the Winning Bid.

6.2 No cooling-off period. Under regulation 28 of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, the usual 14-day right to cancel a distance contract does not apply to accommodation booked for a specific date or period. Because every Stay is booked for specific dates, you do not have that right. We will ask you to confirm that you understand this before you place your first Bid.

6.3 Reasons that do not give a refund. We cannot refund you if you cannot travel or stay for personal reasons, including illness, work, family reasons, travel disruption, bad weather that does not stop the Property being used, or if you arrive late or leave early. The Owner may choose to help you, but is not required to. We strongly recommend that you take out travel insurance that covers cancellation before you bid.

6.4 What this clause does not affect. This clause does not limit your rights under clause 7 (cancellation by the Owner or an unavailable Property) or under clause 11 (your legal rights).

6.5 [Optional: passing your Stay to someone else. If you cannot take your Stay, you may ask us before check-in to transfer it, at no charge, to another person you name. The new lead guest must be at least 18, must accept these terms and must meet the Listing's requirements. The Owner's consent is needed, which will not be unreasonably withheld. We cannot guarantee that a transfer will be possible.]

7. If the Owner cancels or the Property is unavailable

7.1 Telling you. If an Owner cancels a Stay or cannot provide the Property (for example because of a double booking, damage, a safety problem or loss of access), we will tell you as soon as we can by email and by [telephone or text message].

7.2 Full refund. If a Stay is cancelled for any reason in clause 7.1, or we cancel a Stay under clause 4.10, 4.11 or 5.7, we will refund the full price you paid, including any Service Fee and optional extras. We will pay the refund to the payment method you used, without undue delay and in any case within 14 days of the cancellation. Where the cancellation is made by the Owner or because the Owner cannot provide the Property (clause 7.1), you still receive a full refund, but the Owner remains liable to pay us our vendor fee on the Winning Bid and we are not required to return it.

7.3 Alternatives. If the Owner cancels or cannot provide the Property, the Owner may offer you alternative accommodation but is not obliged to. We are not responsible for arranging or providing alternative accommodation, although we may point you to other live Auctions on the Platform. You do not have to accept any alternative offered, and declining it does not affect your right to a full refund under clause 7.2. Any alternative you accept is agreed between you and the Owner.

7.4 Property not as described, or not fit to stay in. If, when you arrive or during your Stay, the Property is not as described in the Listing, or a serious problem makes it unsuitable to stay in, tell the Owner and us straight away (clause 10.1). The Owner must be given a reasonable chance to put it right. We cannot arrange alternative accommodation. If the problem is not put right within a reasonable time, we will review your complaint, speak to you and the Owner and, where we find that the Property was not as described or was not fit to stay in, decide whether a full or partial refund is due. We will arrange for any refund to be paid to you. It will fairly reflect the difference in value or the part of the Stay you could not use, and will be the full price if the Property could not be used at all. This does not limit your rights against the Owner.

7.5 Legal restrictions and events beyond anyone's control. If a law, government restriction or an event such as a flood, fire or severe storm makes it unlawful or unsafe to travel to or stay at the Property, we will refund you for the affected nights or, if you prefer and it is available, rebook you for another date. We will not charge you any penalty.

7.6 Your other rights. Nothing in this clause limits your legal rights, including your right to claim compensation for any losses that were reasonably foreseeable (clause 11).

8. Your stay

8.1 House rules. Each Listing sets out house rules, such as check-in and check-out times, quiet hours, parking, and rules on smoking and pets. You and everyone in your party must follow them. Where a house rule is specific to the Property, it applies to your Stay alongside these terms.

8.2 Who can stay. Only the number of guests shown in your Booking Confirmation may stay at the Property overnight. Extra visitors during the day need the Owner's permission.

8.3 Lead guest and use of the Property. The Guest who won the Auction (or a person to whom the Stay has been transferred under clause 6.5) must be at least 18 and must stay at the Property for the whole Stay. The Property is for holiday accommodation only. You must not sub-let it, use it for parties, events, commercial filming or any business purpose, or allow anyone else to use it in your place.

8.4 Pets. You may bring pets only if the Listing says they are allowed, and only within any limit on numbers or type that the Listing sets.

8.5 Check-in and check-out. The Owner, or someone acting for them, will give you check-in instructions. Please tell the Owner as early as you can if you will arrive later than the check-in time shown. You must leave by the check-out time. You must treat the Property, its contents and its neighbours with respect, and leave the Property clean, tidy and in a suitable state for the owners to turn the property around for the next guests, that may be arriving the same day. , following any check-out instructions in the Listing. If you arrive after the check-in time or leave before the check-out time, you are not entitled to a refund unless the Owner is at fault.

8.6 Looking after the Property. You must take reasonable care of the Property and its contents. You are responsible for loss of or damage to the Property or its contents caused by you or your party, other than fair wear and tear. Please report any damage to the Owner as soon as you can. If damage occurs, the Owner should first try to resolve it directly with you. If they cannot, they may ask us to take a Damage Charge under clause 5.6. If you disagree with a claim, you can raise it with us under clause 10.5. Any cost above the £500 limit is a matter between you and the Owner.

8.7 Safety. Please follow any safety instructions in the Listing or at the Property. Do not tamper with smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms or fire safety equipment. Owners are responsible for making sure their Property meets the legal safety requirements that apply to holiday lets, including gas, electrical and fire safety. Tell the Owner and us at once if you notice a hazard.

8.8 Owner access. The Owner or their representative may enter the Property during your Stay only in an emergency, or at another time that you agree.

8.9 Serious breaches. If you or your party seriously or repeatedly break the house rules or these terms, for example by exceeding the number of guests, causing a safety risk or engaging in anti-social behaviour, the Owner may end the Stay and ask you to leave immediately. If that happens, you will not be entitled to a refund for the unused nights. You can still raise a complaint under clause 10.

9. Fees and charges

9.1 Registering and bidding are free. We do not charge Guests to create an account, place Bids or watch Auctions.

9.2 Our Service Fee. Guests pay us a Service Fee of 5% of the Winning Bid, in addition to the Winning Bid. It is shown clearly during the Auction before you bid and is included in the Total Price. Owners pay us their own fee separately, which does not increase the amount you pay.

9.3 Other charges. The Listing shows any optional extras (such as firewood or early check-in) before you bid. Mandatory charges are included in the price under clause 5.2. Other than a Damage Charge under clause 5.6, we will not charge you anything we have not shown you before you bid.

9.4 No surcharge. We do not charge extra for paying by card.

9.5 Taxes. Prices include VAT where it applies.

9.6 Refunds of fees. If you receive a refund under clause 7, it includes any Service Fee included in your price.

10. Complaints and problems during your stay

10.1 Tell us quickly. If there is a problem during your Stay, tell the Owner straight away using the contact details in your Booking Confirmation, so they have a chance to fix it. If the Owner has not fixed the problem within a reasonable time, taking into account how seriously it affects your Stay, or if it is urgent, contact us at support@bidbreak.co.uk. The sooner we know, the more we can do to help. Delay does not remove your legal rights.

10.2 Complaints after your Stay. You can complain to us at any time, but we recommend you do so within 28 days of the end of your Stay while evidence is fresh. Please send photos or other evidence where you can.

10.3 How we handle complaints. We will acknowledge your complaint within two working days and aim to give you a full response within ten working days. We may need to talk to the Owner and will treat your complaint fairly and on the evidence from both sides.

10.4 If you are not satisfied. Complaints about the Stay or the Property are primarily a matter between you and the Owner. If our review under clause 7.4 does not resolve your complaint about the Stay, you may pursue the Owner directly through any complaint, dispute resolution or legal route available to you. We are not a party to the contract for the Stay and will not be involved in that process. If we cannot resolve a complaint about our own services, you may refer it to an alternative dispute resolution provider.

10.5 Disputes about damage claims. If you disagree with a damage claim made by an Owner, tell us within the response period in clause 5.6. We will not take a Damage Charge until we have reviewed the evidence from both sides and given our decision. Our decision does not stop either of you from using clause 10.4 or going to court.

10.6 Emergencies. In an emergency, call 999 before contacting anyone else.

11. Our liability and your legal rights

11.1 Your legal rights. If you are a consumer, you have legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, including that services must be provided with reasonable care and skill, must match the description and information you were given, and must be provided at the price agreed. Nothing in these terms takes those rights away. You can get advice about your rights from Citizens Advice.

11.2 What we cannot limit. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability, or the Owner's liability, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that the law does not allow to be limited or excluded.

11.3 Who is responsible for what. The Owner is responsible for the Stay and the Property. We are responsible for our own services (clause 2.4). We are not responsible for the Owner's acts or omissions, or for the condition of a Property, except to the extent that the problem was caused by our failure to provide our services with reasonable care and skill (for example, an error we make when importing or displaying Listing information, or failing to keep to a refund decision we have made under clause 7.4), or the law makes us responsible.

11.4 Losses we are not liable for. Subject to clause 11.2, we are not liable for any loss that was not reasonably foreseeable when you made your booking, for events outside our reasonable control, or for loss of or damage to your belongings unless caused by our negligence or breach of these terms. A loss is foreseeable if it was an obvious consequence of our breach or if you and we both knew it might happen when you made your booking.

11.5[Limit on our liability. Subject to clause 11.2 and to your legal rights, our total liability to you in connection with any one Stay is limited to the total price you paid for that Stay.

11.6 The Platform. We work to keep the Platform running but do not promise that it will always be available or free from errors. We may suspend it for maintenance or updates, and will try to do so when it would least affect live Auctions.

12. Acceptable use, suspension and termination

12.1 What you must not do. You must not:

  • give false identity, contact or payment details, or use another person's account or payment method without permission;
  • open more than one account, or bid against yourself or in collusion with others (clause 4.10);
  • use bots, scrapers or other automated tools on the Platform, other than a bidding feature we provide;
  • try to interfere with or gain unauthorised access to the Platform or its security;
  • post unlawful, abusive or misleading content, or harass Owners, other Guests or our staff;
  • use information from the Platform to ask an Owner to bypass an Auction or our Service Fee for a Stay that was listed with us.

12.2 Suspension and cancellation by us. We may suspend or close your account, cancel your Bids or void a booking if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, if we reasonably suspect fraud, if you fail to pay, or if the law requires us to. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will tell you why and give you a chance to respond first. A Winning Bid you have already made stays binding on you. If we cancel a confirmed Stay for a reason that is not your serious breach, we will refund you in full under clause 7.2.

12.3 Closing your account. You can close your account at any time by contacting us. Closing it does not cancel any Stay you have already won or any amount you owe, and it does not affect the rights and duties of you or us that arose before it closed.

13. Reviews and content

13.1 Genuine reviews only. After your Stay, we may invite you to review the Property and the Owner. Only Guests who have completed a Stay booked through the Platform can post a review. A review must be honest and based on your own experience. You must not post a review in return for payment, a discount or any other reward, and you must not write a review on behalf of someone else.

13.2 How we handle reviews. We publish reviews, good or bad, unless they break clause 13.3. We do not edit the substance of a review. Owners may reply publicly. We do not pay for reviews or filter them to favour any Owner.

13.3 Content standards. Anything you post must be lawful and must not be abusive, defamatory, misleading or contain personal information about other people. We may remove content that breaks these standards.

13.4 Your content. You keep ownership of what you post. You give us a free, non-exclusive, worldwide license to display, reproduce and use your reviews and photos on the Platform and to promote the Platform. This license for a published review continues if you close your account.

13.5 Our content. The Platform, our branding and the way the Platform looks and works belong to us or our licensors. You may use them only for your own personal use of the Platform.

14. Privacy and communications

14.1 Your personal data. Our Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why, how long we keep it and what rights you have under UK data protection law. Please read it before you register.

14.2 Sharing with Owners. To make your Stay possible, we share your name, contact details, party size and arrival details with the Owner, and any identity checks the Listing requires. The Owner uses that information to host you and must keep it secure and use it only for that purpose and as the law requires.

14.3 Service messages. We will send you messages about your account and Auctions, such as when you are outbid, when you win, and your Booking Confirmation. You need these messages to use the Platform and cannot opt out while you have an account or active booking. Please keep your contact details up to date.

14.4 Marketing. We will send you marketing messages only if you have agreed to receive them. You can change your mind at any time using the link in a message or your account settings.

14.5 Cookies. Our Cookie Policy at explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on the Platform.

15. Changes, general terms and governing law

15.1 Changes to these terms. We may update these terms for legal, regulatory or security reasons, or to reflect changes to the Platform. We will post the new version with its date and tell registered users about material changes at least 14 days before they take effect. The version in force when you place a Bid governs that Bid and any resulting Stay, even if we change the terms later.

15.2 Whole agreement. These terms, the Listing, your Booking Confirmation and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about your use of the Platform.

15.3 If documents conflict. If a Property-specific rule in a Listing conflicts with these terms, the Listing's rule applies to what happens at the Property during your Stay. These terms apply to everything else.

15.4 Who can enforce these terms. Only you and we can enforce these terms, except that the Owner may enforce clauses 4, 6 and 8 under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. We do not need the Owner's agreement to change or end these terms.

15.5 Transfers. We may transfer our rights and duties under these terms to another organisation if doing so does not reduce your rights. You may not transfer yours except under clause 6.5.

15.6 If part of these terms does not apply. If a court or regulator finds that part of these terms is invalid, the rest continue to apply. If we do not enforce a right straight away, we can still do so later.

15.7 Events beyond our control. Neither you nor we will be liable for a delay or failure to meet our obligations caused by events beyond our reasonable control. This does not affect your right to a refund under clause 7 or the duty to pay for a Stay you have won.

15.8 Governing law and courts. These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in England or Wales, you can bring a claim in the courts of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can bring a claim in the courts of Scotland or Northern Ireland respectively. We may bring a claim against you in the courts of the country where you live.
