Bidders must register at the auction office (clerking station for onsite auctions) or online and provide name, address, phone numbers, driver’s license, signature, email address and any other information requested for identification. The Bidder hereby acknowledges that he/she is of legal age and sound mind. Prior to signing the application for a bidding card, all Bidders and others attending the auction agree that they have read and fully understand the complete “Terms of Auction”, and any additional terms and conditions announced on day of auction and agree to be bound thereby. All registered Bidders take full responsibility for their bidders number. Bidder numbers are nontransferable. All bids made by the holder of the number will be the responsibility of the registered Bidder. All sales are final. No refunds, reductions, returns or exchanges! No Exceptions! The Auctioneers reserve the right to refuse any applicant for a bidding card or the privilege of bidding by number at the auction and to revoke such privilege at any time. Auctioneers reserve the right to have all payments converted to valid cash before removal of any items or lots.
2. Bidding: The highest Bidder shall be the Buyer and no Bidder shall retract their bid. A Buyer is deemed to have accepted an item or lot when they make their bid. A successful bid at auction constitutes a legally binding contract of sale. All sales are final. The Auctioneers reserve the right to reject any and all bids on items and lots not sold at absolute auction. The acceptable bidding increments are established and controlled by the Auctioneer. The Auctioneers reserve the right to bid on behalf of the Seller/s.
3. Pooling: Pooling or bid rigging is fraud and a serious Federal Offense. The Auctioneers reserve the right to bid on behalf of the Seller/s, when the Auctioneers detect or suspect pooling by two or more Bidders. Pooling will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
4. Payment: All items and lots must be paid for in full within thirty minutes after conclusion of the auction. Any invoice not paid for in full within thirty minutes after the auction will be subject to a twenty-five percent (25%) surcharge on the complete invoice upon settlement. No purchases may be removed from the auction site until said purchases are paid for in full. A paid receipt must be presented to the Auctioneer or representatives before removal of any item from auction site. Methods of payment are cash, cashiers check, certified check, irrevocable purchase order, personal or company check with bank letter of guarantee and signed check security agreement, unless other arrangements have been made with the Auctioneers. All payment methods must be approved by the Auctioneers in their sole and absolute discretion prior to bidding. Auctioneers reserve the right to have all payments converted to valid cash before removal of any items or lots. No post dated checks will be accepted and will be treated as non-payment. Buyers agree to not “stop payment” any checks.
5. Bidder Responsibility: The Bidder hereby further agrees that whether he/she shall be acting as a principal, an agent, an officer or director of a corporation or partnership, or otherwise in any capacity whatsoever, the Bidder and the Company he/she represents shall both be responsible for the payment of the purchase price and taxes payable with respect to any and all items and lots for which the Bidder shall be the successful Bidder at the said auction. And, if the Bidder shall tender a non-certified check in payment for the whole or any part of such purchase price and taxes, all items and lots delivered by Auctioneers in reliance on such checks shall be subject to seizure by Auctioneers and/or their licensees, employees and agents at the sole cost and expense of the Bidder in the event that such check shall be dishonored upon presentation of payment. In the event of non-payment, dishonored, stop payment or canceled checks for purchases as stated herein, the Auctioneers shall have a possessory lien on said unpaid purchases until such purchases are paid in full. In any lawsuit or legal action taken in connection with or arising out of the terms herein, the Auctioneers shall be entitled to recover all costs, expenses and attorney fees.
6. Late Payment: Any payment accepted late shall incur a twenty-five percent (25%) surcharge on the full amount of the invoice.
7. Failure to Pay or Remove: In the event the Buyer fails to pay the whole of the purchase price, fails to remove all purchased items and lots, or comply with any other condition herein contained or agreed to, the deposit shall be forfeited to the Auctioneer and the Auctioneer shall retain a possessory lien on all items or lots of the Buyer. Auctioneer shall have the right to resell such items and lots by public or private sale without notice of any kind to the Buyers. Any deficiency arising upon the resale together with all expenses, costs, charges, reasonable attorney fees, plus a $500.00 per diem fee per item or lot, until such item or lot is/are removed, shall be paid by the Buyers. The auction deposit and any payment made by the Buyer shall be retained by the Auctioneers for application against such deficiency. The Buyer agrees that the Auctioneer and/or Seller may retain all monies received pursuant to any such resale and apply that money toward any deficiency without further notice.
8. Buyers Premium: A buyer’s premium is a predetermined percentage or flat fee added to the high bid price to achieve the contract sales price. The use of a buyer’s premium will not in any manner whatsoever constitute an agency relationship between the Auctioneers (their licensees, employees or agents), and the Buyer. The Auctioneers, licensees, employees and agents are agents for the Seller Only. The buyer’s premium, if used, has been a choice of the Seller/s.
9. Disputes: If any dispute arises as to any bidding between two or more Bidders or as to an item or lot, etcetera, the Auctioneers at their sole discretion, may immediately put the disputed lot up again for auction or declare the Buyer by decision. The actions and decisions of the Auctioneer shall be binding, final and absolute. Should a dispute arise after the auction, the Auctioneers sales records and or tape recordings will be deemed as final and absolute. In no instance will a dispute be recognized once the item or lot has been removed from the premises.
10. Claims: No claims or returns will be allowed after the items or lots have been removed from the premises. No claim will be allowed for adjustments or rescission of any sales based upon the failure of the item or lot to correspond with any standard and/or expectation of the Buyer.
11. Non-Delivery: The Auctioneer and Seller shall in no event be liable to the Buyer for non-delivery of any items or lots for any reason whatsoever except for the return to the Buyer of the deposit or other sums paid for such non-delivered items. This non-delivery period extends from the fall of the hammer until the time allotted for the removal process concludes. In no event will the Auctioneer’s or Seller’s liability to the Bidder exceed the amount actually paid by the Buyer. The Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Auctioneer and Seller shall not be liable for special, consequential or incidental damages. The Buyers shall have no further claim or recourse against Sellers, Auctioneers, licensees, employees and agents.
12. Item/Lot Responsibility: Items and lots become the complete and sole responsibility of the Buyers for the care, custody and protection immediately upon the Auctioneer knocking the item or lot down, says sold, or in a customary manner changes ownership. It shall be the responsibility of the Buyers to insure their purchases immediately. The Auctioneers, licensees, employees and agents assume no responsibility for any missing or damaged items or lots and are specifically not acting as the Buyer’s security agent.
13. Absentee Bids: Any Bidder may deposit in advance with the auction office twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the amount the Absentee Bidder intends to bid on any items or lots. A receipt will be given for the deposit. Any balance of monies owed will be due and payable within a half an hour after the conclusion of the auction. If the Absentee Bidder placing the deposit does not become the successful Bidder, all deposits will be returned in a timely manner. Unless the Absentee Bidder leaves instructions to start the bid at the full amount of the left bid, the Auctioneer will start the bid at fifty percent (50%) of the left bid. Because of the random nature of the auction bidding process, it is possible for the high bid to be by another Bidder, at the same amount that was left by the Absentee Bidder. It is agreed by the Absentee Bidder that neither the Sellers, Auctioneers, licensees, employees nor representatives, assume any liability or responsibility of any kind whatsoever for failure to execute bids for the Absentee Bidder for any reason whatsoever.
14. Removal: Purchases must be removed by the Bidders from the auction site on the day of the auction unless otherwise announced or agreed upon with the Sellers or Auctioneers. Removal is at the Buyer’s sole obligation, cost and risk, and only in a manner approved by the Auctioneers. The Auctioneers reserve the right to require proof of adequate insurance coverage from any Buyer of items or lots requiring dismantling, rigging, hot cutting, refrigerant certification, or any situation deemed necessary by the Auctioneers. Buyers agree to indemnify and save harmless both the Sellers and the Auctioneers, licensees, employees and agents, against any and all damage caused by the acts of the Buyers and/or their agents, employees, etcetera, in connection with the dismantling or removing of any item or lot. Buyers agree that any and all damages to the land or buildings, inside and outside, caused by them must be fixed, replaced or repaired to Auctioneer’s and/or Seller’s satisfaction, before they are permitted to leave with their purchases. If for any reason, the Buyers fail to remove any item or lot within the specified time, the item or lot will be deemed abandoned and the Auctioneer at his sole discretion may resell per paragraph number 7 above, or remove and store the items or lots at the Buyers’ sole risk and expense. The Buyers understand that they will lose any right, title or interest the Buyers may have acquired and the item or lot shall revert and repossess to the Seller or Auctioneer without any further notice to the Buyers. In addition, Buyers will be liable for any rent incurred, labor, storage, hauling, dump fees, etc, and damage suffered by the Auctioneers because of the Buyers failure to remove any item or lot. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to secure all safety equipment to meet all applicable government safety standards in using or removing any items or lots purchased. Any fluids, spills, release into the environment, or any contamination whatsoever caused by the Buyer, their agents, employees, contractors, etc., during the auction or removal, are strictly and solely the Buyer’s expense and liability to correct, remove and clean up. The Buyer takes full responsibility for compliance with applicable environmental laws and exercise all reasonable care to ensure that there is no release to the environment of any hazardous materials, wastes or substances as defined in applicable Federal, State and Local Statues, Laws, Regulations, Rules or Ordinances.

No sale will be invalidated by reason of any defect or inaccuracy in any of the items or lots by reason of their being incorrectly described orally or written, invoiced or cataloged, and no liability will be borne by the Auctioneers, licensees, employees and agents in respect to any such faults or errors.
