Additional terms may be posted or announced from the auction block which are just as binding as the terms set forth below: 1. Everything is sold “AS IS, WHERE IS”, and ‘WITH ALL FAULTS” and the Auctioneer and the seller and/or owner of each item expressly disclaim any warranties. By bidding, Bidder/Buyer acknowledges that he/she has inspected the property that he/she is bidding upon and/or buying. Bidder/Buyers are responsible for their purchases when Auctioneer says “SOLD” in response to their bid. The acceptance by the Auctioneer of the last bid constitutes an oral contract between the seller and the Bidder/Buyer and is legally binding. The Bidder/Buyer agrees that he/she has examined this merchandise and accepts the way it is. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. THE ITEM(S) SOLD CANNOT BE RETURNED FOR ANY REASON. Do not bid on an item and then claim a mistake was made. There will be no rebids. 2. The Auctioneer shall designate the purchasing Buyer (if the item is purchased) from the bids given after each item of merchandise is auctioned. If a dispute arises between two or more Bidder/Buyers, the Auctioneer reserves the right to reopen bidding. The Auctioneer’s decision and designation as to who won the bid and purchased the item shall be FINAL. After a Bidder/Buyer has won the bid with his/her bid they have become the new owners of the item, even though they may not have paid the purchase price for the item yet. The item(s), at that point, becomes the full and sole responsibility of the Bidder/Buyer, and Bidder/Buyer assumes all risk of loss and damage from that point forward. 3.
