- The bids I make in this auction are final and enforceable. By placing these bids, the organisation I represent is bound to pay the EPA the total value of the credits that I win, as determined by the auction rules. If my organisation fails to submit payment for the bids won, I understand the EPA is able to undertake legal action to recover funds owing; and
