Terms and Conditions of Village Square Auctions & Estate Sales General Terms • All items sold "AS IS, WHERE IS" with all faults. No guarantees, warranties, refunds, or exchanges. • All item descriptions are provided to the best of our knowledge and are believed to be accurate; however, they are not guaranteed. Photos are an integral part of the item description, and bidders are strongly encouraged to review them thoroughly before placing a bid. Once a bid is placed, it is final and cannot be retracted for any reason, as this would interfere with the integrity of the auction. • Condition details, if provided, are offered as a courtesy to bidders and reflect our opinions rather than statements of fact. These details do not imply any warranty or assumption of liability regarding an item’s condition. The absence of specific condition details does not imply the item is flawless or free from wear, flaws, or age-related characteristics. Bidders are encouraged to attend item previews or contact us directly with questions for additional clarification before bidding. • Bidder Eligibility • To participate in Village Square Auctions & Estate Sales, all bidders must be at least 18 years of age and legally eligible to participate in an auction under applicable state and federal law. • By placing a bid, the bidder signifies that they have examined the items to their satisfaction, or that they have chosen not to personally examine them. • Village Square Auctions & Estate Sales reserve the right to reject any bid at our discretion. Payment Terms and User Responsibility • Payment Information: By bidding, you acknowledge that you are responsible for ensuring that the payment information provided is accurate and valid. Any discrepancies or issues caused by incorrect payment details may result in additional fees, including a $15 Declined Card Fee, and potential suspension from future auctions. You must update your payment information promptly to avoid further complications. • Binding Contract: Placing a bid constitutes a binding contract between the bidder and the auctioneer. All bids placed are final. As part of our company policy, we do not allow bid retractions, as it compromises the integrity of the auction. • Failure to Pay: Failure to pay your invoice will result in a ban from participating in future auctions.

Failure to contact us before the scheduled pick-up period ends will result in the forfeiture of the items and a permanent ban from bidding in future auctions. • Emergency Situations: We understand that emergencies may arise, but due to warehouse space limitations or access restrictions at off-site locations, we may not be able to offer alternative pick-up dates or times. It is the bidder's responsibility to make arrangements to pick up their items during the scheduled pick-up times. • Sending an Alternative Person: If you are unable to pick up your items personally, you may send an alternative person to collect them on your behalf. You must send us an email with written consent authorizing the release of your items to the designated individual. Without this written consent, we will not release the items to any third party. • Alternative Pick-Up: If an alternative pick-up time is required, a $25 fee will be applied to schedule the pick-up outside of the designated hours. This fee is applicable regardless of the reason for the requested change. • Shipping Policy: Village Square Auctions & Estate Sales offers in-house shipping. Shipping and handling fees will be calculated based on the actual packaged weight of your items and automatically added to your invoice.

We may use recycled materials for packaging to minimize costs. Please note that shipping estimates cannot be provided prior to invoicing, and the buyer is responsible for ensuring that payment is made in full for shipping and handling charges. • Local Pick-Ups: Please bring your own boxes, packing materials (such as paper or bubble wrap) for wrapping your items, and sufficient help to load your winnings.
