The Auction is conducted under and in accordance with these Bidder Terms and Conditions, and any and all other Terms and Conditions posted by Auctioneer (whether at the Auction Site or online), any announcements or corrections made by Auctioneer at the time of the Auction, and applicable law.

Auctioneer may establish such Bidder Registration requirements and Bidder qualifications as Auctioneer determines to be reasonably necessary or appropriate. To register to bid, YOU must provide such information (including identifying information and qualifications) as requested by the Auctioneer. Auctioneer may refuse to accept a Bidder Registration from any potential Bidder, may refuse to grant bidding privileges to any potential Bidder, and may revoke the Bidder Registration or bidding privileges of any Bidder. By registering to bid, YOU represent to the Auctioneer that, if YOU are a natural person, YOU are at least eighteen (18) years of age and that YOU are otherwise legally able to enter into a contract. Each entity (i.e., corporation, limited liability company, or other organization) registering to bid represents that it has the power and authority to register, to bid, and to complete the purchase transaction if it is the Winning Bidder.

This means that, if an online bid is entered within a set time period approaching the end of the established Online Bidding Period, the Online Bidding Period will automatically be extended for an additional amount of time in increments established by Auctioneer, and will continue to be so extended until there is a set period of time that lapses during which no online bids are received, after which bidding will close. g) Disclaimer: Auctioneer makes no representations or warranties, and disclaims all representations and warranties, (i) that the Online Auction Platform or any related website or technology will be uninterrupted, error free or virus free, (ii) as to the results that may be obtained by using the Online Auction Platform or any related website or technology, or (iii) as to the accuracy, completeness, reliability, security, or current nature of the Online Auction Platform or any related technology. h) Winning Bidders Subject to Certification by Auctioneer: The final determination of the Winning Bidder is subject to certification by Auctioneer; and any email or electronic message (whether generated manually or automatically) is subject to such certification. 12) Absentee Bids; Remote Bidding: In the Auctioneer's discretion, the Auctioneer may receive Absentee Bids and/or bids tendered by remote Bidders (whether telephonically or otherwise). Absentee Bids may be initiated and advanced in accordance with Auctioneer’s policies and procedures. Auctioneer will make reasonable efforts to execute Absentee Bids, but Auctioneer will have no liability for the failure to execute any Absentee Bids. The Property may be sold to a competing Bidder for the maximum amount of the Absentee Bid based on a bidding sequence that causes the competing Bidder to reach the Absentee Bidder’s amount first. If the execution of an Absentee Bid at its maximum amount would require the Auctioneer to accept a bid that is less than a full bidding increment, the Auctioneer may acknowledge or reject such bid. An Absentee Bidder may authorize the Auctioneer to advance the bid by one or more bidding increments after the maximum amount of the Absentee Bid is, or would be, reached. Auctioneer acts as the agent of the Seller only, and the receipt and/or execution of Absentee Bids will not create an agency relationship between Auctioneer and any Absentee Bidder. 13) Bid Increments: Bid increments are established and controlled by Auctioneer and may be adjusted or modified in Auctioneer’s sole and absolute discretion. 14) Responsibility for Bids Placed on Bidder Number or Bidder Account: YOU are responsible for all bids made on the Bidder Number or through YOUR Bidder Account.
