A Bidder who is the highest accepted bidder at a live Auction or an Online Bidding Auction, or a person or entity purchasing an Auction Item by clicking the 'Buy Now' icon on the Auctioneer website is referred to herein as a 'Purchaser'.

THE DESCRIPTION OF EACH AUCTION ITEM IS SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF IDENTIFICATION AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE AUCTION ITEM WILL CONFORM TO SUCH DESCRIPTION OR TO ANY CONDITION REFERRED TO THEREIN.

Purchaser acknowledges that conditions can change during the time between initial inspections, auction and time of removal. ONLINE BIDDING: Auctions will feature online bidding powered by Proxibid, Inc. ('Proxibid'). All Bidders are required to register online with Proxibid prior to participating in an Auction at the following URL: https://www.proxibid.com. Bidders will be required to comply with these Purchaser Terms and all other specific terms and conditions of the Auction detailed on Auctioneer's online marketplace for the applicable Auction Item, including the payment and removal procedures. For all specific internet bidding questions, please contact Proxibid at (877) 505-7770. BIDDING; BUY NOW; VOID BIDS; WITHDRAWALS, POSTPONEMENTS OR CANCELLATIONS: a) When bidding at a live Auction, after the winning bid has been established by Auctioneer, the bid will be automatically accepted by Seller and create a binding obligation to purchase and sell the Auction Item between Purchaser and Seller (a 'Binding Obligation'). (b) When Online Bidding, Proxibid is the final judge for determination of winning bids and, upon such determination, the bid will be automatically accepted by Seller and create a Binding Obligation between Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser and Seller will be notified of the completion of the Binding Obligation by an email or other notification generated automatically by Auctioneer's online marketplace. (c) When purchasing an Auction Item via 'Buy Now' on Auctioneer's website, by clicking the 'Buy Now' icon for the listed purchase price of such Auction Item, the purchase commitment of Purchaser will be automatically accepted by Seller and become a Binding Obligation between Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser and Seller will be notified of the completion of the Binding Obligation by an email or other notification generated automatically by Auctioneer's online marketplace. (d) Should a Bidder become the winning Purchaser at an Auction, such Purchaser will be contractually obligated at the time the Binding Obligation is created to pay for and remove the Auction Item from the lot where such Auction Item is located in accordance with the paragraph entitled Removal of Auction Items below. Bids cannot be removed for any reason after 8 a.m. Central Time on the close date of Auction. (e) Auctioneer reserves the right to reject or void any Auction bid, whether winning or otherwise, that it believes, in its sole discretion, (i) has been made in bad faith, (ii) is intended to manipulate the Auction listing and sale process, (iii) violates any applicable law or regulation, or (iv) results from an online marketplace outage, failure, error, or delay. (f) Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any Auction Item listed for sale at an Auction or to postpone or cancel any Auction for any reason, in its sole discretion, with or without notice, and without liability to any Bidder. Auctioneer also reserves the right to cancel and declare a 'Non-Sale' any Binding Obligation or Auction sale, whether or not payment has been made, in the event Auctioneer determines, in its sole discretion, that: (i) the Binding Obligation or sale is the result of an online marketplace application, system and/or user error, (ii) the Seller has breached or defaulted under the Binding Obligation, or (iii) Auctioneer is unable to clear title to the applicable Auction Item. In such event, Purchaser's sole remedy, and Auctioneer's sole liability to Purchaser, shall be a refund of any amount previously paid by Purchaser and remaining in Auctioneer's possession with respect to the canceled Binding Obligation or Auction sale. REMOVAL OF AUCTION ITEMS: Auction Items are located across the state of California. Because each location has different hours of operation, all Auction Items must be removed by appointment and pickup must be scheduled at least 24 hours prior to Purchaser's desired date of removal. All Auction Items must be removed by Purchaser within three (3) calendar days following the date of completion of the Binding Obligation, without exception, and Purchaser will be charged a storage fee of $25.00/day per Auction Item for any Auction Item remaining on site thereafter. All storage fees must be paid prior to removal. A 'paid in full' receipt must be presented by Purchaser for removal, and in certain cases Purchaser will be asked to sign a Delivery and Acceptance Certificate indicating that Purchaser has accepted and taken delivery of the Auction Items. Purchaser shall be deemed to have taken delivery of all Auction Items on execution of the Delivery and Acceptance Certificate regardless of whether Purchaser removes the same in a single or multiple trips to the Auction site. Additional fees may apply at select Auction locations. If Purchaser has not removed an Auction Item within thirty (30) calendar days following the date of completion of the Binding Obligation, Auctioneer will deem Purchaser's failure to remove such Auction Item to be evidence of Purchaser's intention to abandon Purchaser's Auction Item. In such instance, Auctioneer will deem the Auction Item abandoned, assume ownership of the Auction Item and take steps to dispose of the Auction Item. Auctioneer will determine the appropriate disposition approach in its sole discretion, which may include: (a) moving the Auction Item from the Auction Site and disposing of the Auction Item as Auctioneer deems appropriate; (b) scrapping the Auction Item; or (c) re-listing the Auction Item for sale on Auctioneer's online marketplace, whereby Auctioneer will retain the entire resale amount. ATTENDANCE AT AUCTION SITE: Each person attending an Auction acknowledges that an auction site is a potentially dangerous place. Flammable, corrosive and pressurized substances will be present, heavy equipment is being operated and electric circuits may be live. Each person attending an Auction at an auction site before, during or after the Auction shall be deemed to be there at his or her own risk with notice of the condition of the premises, the activities on the premises and the conduct of third parties, and each Bidder shall notify such Bidder's agents and employees of the foregoing. No person or entity shall have any claim against Auctioneer, its agents, employees or principals for any injuries sustained, or for any damages to or loss of property which may occur from any cause whatsoever at an Auction site.

Auctioneer's and Proxibid's servers, computers, communications components and systems, and application functionality, are subject to outages, failures, and delays. Each Bidder further acknowledges and agrees that Auctioneer will have no liability for any claims or alleged losses arising out of or relating to any such outage, failure, or delay.

Auctioneer shall have no liability to Purchaser for the disclosure of any information regarding such Purchaser to the applicable OEM, its dealers, service providers or other representatives. ASSUMPTION OF RISK; WAIVER; INDEMNITY: Risk of loss or damage to each Auction Item shall pass to Purchaser immediately after when a Binding Obligation to purchase such Auction Item is created. Delay in titling any titled Auction Items in Purchaser shall not alter the passage of the risk of loss and damage. Purchaser shall, at its own expense, maintain and carry in full force and effect appropriate insurance coverage on each Auction Item purchased immediately after a Binding Obligation is created, and neither Auctioneer nor the owner of the auction sale site property ('Site Owner') will be responsible for any losses or damages thereto from and after the time a Binding Obligation is created whether resulting from acts of nature, theft, accident and/or vandalism (other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Auctioneer or Site Owner). Purchaser agrees to look solely to its insurance to cover such losses or damages. Purchaser assumes all liability whatsoever resulting from the possession, use or disposition of each Auction Item purchased at an Auction from and after the time a Binding Obligation to purchase is created.
