All such charges shall be the sole responsibility of the Buyer. The Buyer or the Buyer’s agent is responsible for arriving with a paid in full invoice and the appropriate equipment to safely transport the item purchased.

BUYER RESPONSIBILITY TO INSPECT AND DETERMINE SUITABILITY FOR USE

It is the responsibility of Buyers to inspect an item prior to bidding in order to assess the items operational condition, and suitability for use. Seller's contact information and location of the item will be provided with a listing description of each item for sale. Potential Bidders should contact the Seller for the exact location of an item, along with directions, and inspect the item before bidding. In no event does failure to contact the Seller or failure to inspect an item prior to bidding serve as grounds for collapsing the sale, rescinding the transaction, or requesting a rebate or refund.

BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY TO DETERMINE SUITABILITY FOR USE REGARDING EMISSIONS

It is each Buyers responsibility to verify and determine if an auction item meets the emissions requirements in the County and State for which the item is to be utilized. Although, Auctioneer may provide notations or information as to emissions compliance it cannot be relied upon by the Buyer, and it is the Buyers ultimate responsibility to verify emissions compliance. No refunds or deductions will be provided the Buyer for the lack of an item being able to comply with any emissions requirement.

FAILURE TO INSPECT

It is each Buyers responsibility to inspect items. We encourage you to email, call, or show up to the preview to inspect items and gather more information. Failure to inspect an item prior to bidding is not grounds for a dispute, refusal to pay or refusal to take possession of the purchased item. If after reviewing a claim, in the Auctioneer's judgement there is no grounds for dispute, the transaction will be considered closed. Refusal to take possession of the unit at that point will result in forfeiture of the purchase price or 25% liquidated damages at Auctioneer's sole discretion.

AUCTIONEER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR VERBAL OR WRITTEN SELLER STATEMENTS

Auctioneer is not responsible for statements, written or verbal, made by the Seller. Buyer should carefully validate all such statements by inspecting the item prior to bidding. Failure to inspect the item is not grounds for dispute. Bidder is to use their due diligence prior to bidding, as no bids will be retracted. There is no refund for any reason. Buyer is fully aware there is no recourse to rescind or abrogate the transaction after becoming the highest bidder.

RISK OF LOSS

In the event Buyer fails to do so, Buyer hereby irrevocably appoints Seller as its power of attorney for the purpose of applying for a lost, or other such replacement title, including any associated paperwork needed to obtain such title, so as to allow for the disposition or re-sale thereof. In the event of re-sale, upon receipt by Auctioneer of such resale amount, any proceeds remaining after the deductions as set forth herein, will be returned to the abandoning Buyer, provided Auctioneer is able to determine a method for doing so.

Bidding and payments are in United States currency (US) and are to be funded by either a US account or a US intermediary account. There are no exceptions or extensions, so plan accordingly for any international holiday that may prevent the Buyer from making payment as agreed. Only US holidays that would close US financial institutions are recognized.

Proof of identity and US funded financial contact information may also be required upon successful registration. No changes to invoices for export are permitted following the auction, so accounts need to be established using the same name and address as pertains to the Buyer exportation information and sales tax documentation.

If payment is not received as agreed, you are subject to 25% liquidated damages of the final invoiced value and removal from future auctions; as well as loss of the item purchased.

It is the Buyer's responsibility to pick up or arrange pick up of items purchased in auction within fourteen (14) calendar days of winning the bid.

Additionally, all disputes must be filed in writing within 14 calendar days of winning the item in auction.

All customs requirements or transportation needed for an international purchase need to be completed within the 14-day removal deadline. Should Buyer fail to remove purchase within the specified period, Auctioneer or Seller may charge a storage fee of $10 per day until purchase is removed from Seller’s location. All such charges shall be the sole responsibility of the Buyer. The Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, Auctioneer, and its agents against all damages, liabilities, claims, or causes of action arising out of said properties use, storage, and removal.
