THROTTLE MAKES NO REPRESENTATION AND EXTENDS NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR OTHERWISE, RESPECTING ANY LOT’S CONDITION, GENUINENESS, VALUE, AND/OR QUALITY. THROTTLE HAS NOT INDEPENDENTLY INSPECTED OR TESTED THE LOT AND HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE LOT’S HISTORY OR CONDITION. Bidder has the duty, right, and opportunity to inspect any Lot prior to bidding, and Bidder’s participation in the auction of any lot is exclusively premised upon the Bidder’s own determinations. Winning Bidders shall accept their Lot(s) with all faults, including, but not limited to, qualitative conditions, defects and imperfections (whether structural, mechanical, cosmetic, latent, obvious, whether mentioned or unmentioned in the Lot description). Throttle is not responsible for any defect in any Lot. While Consignors may be liable for false statements and/or misrepresentations, Bidder acknowledged and agrees that the “AS IS, WHERE IS” risk allocation inures to the benefit of the Consignor(s) of any lot(s). 13.Bidder releases, waives, and discharges Throttle for any and all claims arising out of, involving, or associated with a Lot description (including milage and “matching numbers” claims).

The auctioneer will use reasonable judgment in evaluating Bidders’ claims of auction confusion. However, the auctioneer’s determination(s) in these circumstances is/are both final and non-appealable. 17.Throttle is not liable for lost, stolen, or damaged Lots, and Bidder shall make no claim against Throttle for such loss, theft, or damage, unless the loss, theft, or damage is directly caused by Throttle’s actions or omissions. 18.Lots must be removed from the auction location within 5 business days of the auction event’s conclusion.
