West Section Auction Services LLC - Terms and Conditions Acceptance of Terms By participating in the online auctions hosted by West Section Auction Services LLC ("WSAS"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please refrain from bidding. Auction Details Each lot listed in the auction will include an Information Lead that outlines what is being auctioned. The description explains what is included in each lot, and the photos are provided for reference only. Additional items may appear in the background of these photos. It is the bidder's responsibility to review the Information Lead and description carefully and contact WSAS with any questions before placing a bid. Winning Bidders and Invoices Notification: Winning bidders will receive an email with an attached invoice detailing the lots won and the balance owed. This email serves as your formal notification. Bid Status: On HiBid, once a lot is sold, the status may read "You may have won or been outbid." In the event of a tie with maximum bids, the bidder who entered their maximum bid first (time-wise) will be the winning bidder. Reserve Price and No Sale WSAS reserves the right to declare an item as a no sale if the reserve price is not met. If the reserve is not met, you are not the winning bidder. Reserve Price Disclosure: Anyone has the right to call and ask for the reserve price of any item in the sale. Payment and Pickup Forms of Payment: For amounts under $15,000, accepted payment methods include cash, cashier's check, or wire transfer. For amounts over $15,000, wire transfer is the only accepted payment method. WSAS does not charge fees for wire transfers; however, your bank may impose its own fees. Pickup Deadline: All items must be picked up within 14 days from the auction closing date. A storage fee of $25 per day will be charged for each additional day beyond the initial 14 days, unless other arrangements are made. After 30 days from the auction closing date, if the item is not picked up or no arrangements are made, the item will be considered forfeited and become property of WSAS, regardless of payment status. Sellers with No Sale Items: If an item is not sold in the auction, the seller will not receive a check via mail. The check will be held at our office until the unsold items are picked up. Shipping and Certificates of Title Shipping: Shipping is available at the buyer’s expense and at the sole discretion of West Section Auction Services. Buyers are responsible for all shipping costs and must arrange for pickup or shipping directly with WSAS if needed. WSAS reserves the right to refuse or limit shipping requests at its discretion. Certificates of Title: Certificates of title will be mailed within 10-20 business days upon clearance of payment into our account, regardless of the payment method used. Buyers are responsible for any back registration. Titled Items: There is a $50 title fee for selling vehicles. Sellers must bring the title and seller’s permit with them when delivering their items. You must obtain the seller’s permit yourself from the Treasurer's Office or the DMV website—WSAS cannot do this for you. Item Inspection and Condition Inspection: All descriptions and conditions are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. It is the buyer’s responsibility to inspect the property before purchasing. If the lot is not on the auction lot, arrangements can be made to view the items. Condition: All items are sold "as is" and "where is," with no warranties or guarantees expressed or implied. We list the odometer readings but do not guarantee the functionality of any items.

Technical Problems Technical Issues: In the event of technical problems with the auction software or server, WSAS reserves the right to extend bidding, continue bidding, or close bidding. WSAS and the sellers are not responsible for missed bids due to technical issues. Registered bidders will receive emails with any relevant information.
