BCCA assumes no responsibility or liability for representations made by Seller and shall have no obligation to verify or authenticate such statements or claims. It is the responsibility of Buyer to ascertain by their own means the correctness of a vehicle year, model and body style, and it is Buyer’s own diligence to determine accuracy, correctness, and condition of vehicle and all related material prior to placing any bids. Any and all bids placed will be conclusive proof Buyer has performed such diligence. Any announcements made on the day of the auction take precedence over ads, catalogs, brochures, signs and car cards of other previously announced or documented information, but do not alter in any way the basic terms and conditions of the sale.
Seller has provided an odometer statement as required by Federal Law. BCCA does not in any way guarantee the odometer reading to be actual, true or correct.
Unless an item is advertised or announced otherwise, each item is offered subject to the reserve price of Seller. When an item is sold with reserve, the auctioneer may bid on Seller’s behalf in an amount not to exceed the reserve price.
When the auctioneer says “SOLD”, the ownership shall pass to the successful buyer, who assumes full risk and responsibility at that time. Buyer agrees that BCCA shall have no liability against all perils and loss, including but not limited to damage caused by another party, fire, natural disaster, theft, or mechanical failure.

In no event shall BCCA, the auctioneer, any employee, agent or associate of BCCA be responsible or liable for such warranties or guarantees whatsoever whether written, oral or implied. Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and save harmless BCCA from any and all legal action that may arise from the sale of any item, and to rely only upon themselves or Seller for enforcement of contracts for the sale of any sold item.
Payment shall be made from Buyer directly to BCCA as acting auction agent of Seller by the end of the auction. Payment of funds due Buyer from any other transaction may be withheld from Buyer and applied to other purchases made by Buyer.

All purchases made under the same Bidder’s number shall be one transaction regardless of method(s) of payment. Subject to federal law, all cash transactions in excess of $10,000 will be reported to the Federal Government.
In the event of Buyer’s default on any terms herein, including but not limited to dishonored checks (insufficient funds, stop payment or the like) any item, vehicle, thing, things, title or titles from any purchase or transaction made with same Bidder’s number may be held until all issues are resolved and payment in full is received, and BCCA or assigns shall be entitled to attorney fees incurred in the enforcement of this contract. If Buyer sues BCCA and does not prevail, Buyer shall reimburse BCCA for all reasonable legal fees and expenses connected with such suit. The parties agree that this contract shall be construed under the substantive laws of the State of Missouri, that the State Courts of Missouri shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any action brought to enforce the terms of the contract or over any action arising out of the underlying transaction(s) with BCCA and venue shall be in the Taney County Court system in the State of Missouri.
Buyer's credit card deposit will be retained if total payment for purchase(s) is not made.
This instrument together with the buyer credentials, clerk ticket, consignment contract, consignment form, and purchase contract comprise the entire agreement of the parties and shall be binding on them. This instrument shall not be modified except in writing, signed by an officer of BCCA in the auction office or at the auction block.
In proper context, the term “ITEM” is used herein as defined to mean any article, vehicle, objects, thing or things pertaining to this or any other contract and instruments collateral hereto.
