## TERMS OF SALE — PROXIBID / atgPay
**PLEASE READ ALL TERMS BEFORE BIDDING. BY REGISTERING, PLACING A BID, OR ALLOWING A BID TO BE PLACED THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THESE TERMS, THE AUCTION-SPECIFIC TERMS, ALL LOT-SPECIFIC TERMS, AND THE APPLICABLE PROXIBID AND atgPay TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT BID.**
### 1. BINDING CONTRACT; BIDDER RESPONSIBILITY
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract. Each bid is a binding, irrevocable offer to purchase the lot at the amount bid. The highest accepted bid at closing creates a binding contract between the winning Buyer and the Seller. All sales are final. No bid may be retracted, canceled, reduced, or transferred to another person or business.
Buyer is responsible for every bid placed through Buyer's Proxibid account, whether placed personally or by another person using that account. Claiming that a bid was accidental, mistaken, placed by another person, or placed without reviewing the lot is not grounds for cancellation.
The name on the invoice must remain the registered Buyer's name unless Dvorak Auction Service ("Dvorak Auction") approves a change in writing. Buyer may not assign or transfer a purchase without Dvorak Auction's prior written consent.
### 2. AUCTION FORMAT; SOFT CLOSE; AUCTIONEER AUTHORITY
This is an online auction conducted through Proxibid. Lots may use a staggered and/or soft closing format. A bid placed during the final closing period may extend that lot for the additional time displayed by Proxibid. The lot will continue to extend until no bid is received during the applicable extension period.
Dvorak Auction may reject any bid, refuse or revoke bidding privileges, withdraw or combine lots, correct catalog or clerical errors, reopen bidding, or resell a lot when Dvorak Auction determines that a bid dispute, platform failure, material catalog error, fraud concern, or other irregularity affected the sale.
Proxibid's electronic bidding record and Dvorak Auction's decision will control in any bidding dispute. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the auction is with reserve and the Seller may reject a bid or withdraw a lot at any time before the lot closes.
### 3. BUYER'S PREMIUM
A **(15%) BUYER'S PREMIUM** WILL BE ADDED TO THE HAMMER PRICE OF EVERY LOT.
The total purchase price consists of the hammer price, the 15% Buyer's Premium, applicable sales tax, and any other charges expressly stated in these Terms, the auction catalog, a lot description, or the Buyer's invoice.
**There is no additional Internet premium beyond the stated 15%. The total Buyer's/Internet Premium is 15%.**
### 4. SALES TAX AND TAX-EXEMPT BUYERS
Applicable sales tax will be calculated, collected, and remitted through Proxibid's atgPay system based on applicable law and transaction information, which may include the item category, pickup or shipping destination, shipping origin, and the jurisdiction where the Buyer takes possession or responsibility for the property.
Tax-exempt Buyers are responsible for submitting complete and valid exemption documentation through Proxibid. Documentation should be submitted and approved before bidding whenever possible.
Dvorak Auction will not manually remove, alter, or refund sales tax after the auction closes. Any post-sale exemption review or sales-tax refund request must be made directly through Proxibid and is subject solely to Proxibid's requirements, processing times, and decision.
Buyer remains responsible for timely payment while any tax-exemption request is pending unless Proxibid issues a corrected invoice.
### 5. REGISTRATION AND CREDIT-CARD AUTHORIZATION
A valid credit or debit card is required on file with Proxibid for registration and bidding approval. Dvorak Auction and/or Proxibid may require identity verification, proof of funds, a deposit, or additional information before approving or continuing bidding privileges.
Buyer authorizes Proxibid, atgPay, Dvorak Auction, and their authorized payment processors, as applicable, to verify the payment method, place a temporary preauthorization hold, and charge an eligible unpaid invoice to the payment method on file as provided in these Terms.
A preauthorization is not payment and may temporarily reduce available credit. Buyer is solely responsible for keeping all account, billing, card, bank, email, telephone, and shipping information accurate and current.
### 6. PAYMENT DUE; INVOICES OF $1,000 OR LESS
Payment is due as provided below.
Winning Buyers will receive an invoice from Proxibid with a "Pay Now" or similar checkout option.
**INVOICES WITH AN ELIGIBLE atgPay CREDIT-CARD SUBTOTAL OF $1,000 OR LESS:** Payment is due immediately upon receipt of the invoice. Buyer may use the Proxibid/atgPay "Pay Now" option.
If an eligible invoice of $1,000 or less has not been paid by the Buyer, Dvorak Auction will initiate payment processing or, when permitted by the payment platform, cause the payment method on file to be charged at **9:00 A.M. CENTRAL TIME ON THE CALENDAR DAY IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE AUCTION CLOSE.**
This 9:00 A.M. deadline applies even when the following day is a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, unless Dvorak Auction gives the Buyer different instructions in writing.
Buyer's obligation to pay is not affected if Proxibid, atgPay, Dvorak Auction, or a payment processor is unable or elects not to charge the payment method on file. Buyer remains personally responsible for the entire unpaid balance.
### 7. INVOICES OVER $1,000 — PAYMENT AT PICKUP OR WIRE IN ADVANCE
**FOR INVOICES WITH AN atgPay CREDIT-CARD SUBTOTAL OVER $1,000, CREDIT AND DEBIT CARDS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.**
Unless otherwise approved by Dvorak Auction in writing, **payment for invoices over $1,000 will be collected at the scheduled pickup when the Buyer arrives to retrieve the purchased items.**
Accepted payment methods at pickup for invoices over $1,000 include:
* Cash
* Certified bank check
* Other guaranteed funds specifically approved by Dvorak Auction
A Buyer may elect to pay an invoice over $1,000 by **wire transfer prior to pickup.**
**ALL WIRE TRANSFER FUNDS MUST BE RECEIVED, VERIFIED, AND FULLY CLEARED THROUGH DVORAK AUCTION'S BANK BEFORE ANY ITEMS WILL BE RELEASED, LOADED, OR REMOVED.**
Sending a wire receipt, confirmation number, screenshot, or other proof that a wire has been initiated does **not** constitute cleared payment.
If wired funds have not cleared Dvorak Auction's bank by the scheduled pickup time, **the purchased property will not be released until the funds have cleared.**
Buyers intending to pay by wire should initiate payment sufficiently in advance of pickup to allow time for bank processing and verification.
**THE 9:00 A.M. AUTOMATIC CREDIT-CARD PROCESSING PROVISION DOES NOT APPLY TO INVOICES OVER $1,000 THAT ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR CREDIT-CARD PAYMENT.**
No property will be released, picked up, loaded, transferred, or shipped until the entire invoice and all related charges have been paid in full with verified and cleared funds.
### 8. ACCEPTED PAYMENT METHODS
Accepted payment methods are subject to invoice amount, atgPay limitations, Dvorak Auction approval, and verification.
Payment methods may include:
* Visa
* MasterCard
* Discover
* American Express
* Bank Transfer/ACH through atgPay when offered and approved
* Cash
* Wire Transfer
* Certified Bank Check
* Money Order when specifically approved
For purposes of atgPay's credit-card limit, the subtotal generally consists of the hammer price, Buyer's Premium, and applicable lot fees; sales tax, shipping, handling, and processing fees may be excluded from the credit-card-limit calculation according to atgPay's applicable rules.
Dvorak Auction may require cash, wire transfer, or certified funds for any transaction, regardless of amount, when Dvorak Auction determines additional payment security is appropriate.
Certified checks, money orders, ACH transactions, and other non-cash payments are subject to verification and may be held until authenticity and funds are confirmed.
Buyer is responsible for all wire, bank, currency-conversion, and payment-processing charges. Third-party payments may be rejected.
Any exception to these payment rules must be approved by Dvorak Auction in writing before payment is submitted.
### 9. DECLINED PAYMENT; DEFAULT; COLLECTION COSTS
If a payment is declined, reversed, returned, stopped, disputed, or otherwise not completed, and additional staff time or telephone contact is required to secure payment, a **$25 administrative service fee** will be added to the Buyer's account.
The fee does not replace Buyer's obligation to pay the full invoice and all other amounts due.
Buyer is in default if Buyer fails to pay as required, provides false information, fails to take possession by the stated deadline, attempts an unauthorized chargeback, or otherwise violates these Terms.
Upon default, Dvorak Auction and/or the Seller may exercise any one or more remedies permitted by law, including canceling the sale; retaining any payment or deposit to the extent permitted by law; reselling the property privately or at auction; recovering the difference between Buyer's contract price and the resale price; recovering storage, handling, removal, transportation, collection, court, and reasonable attorney expenses to the extent permitted by law; charging lawful interest on the unpaid balance; suspending pickup or shipping; and reporting the default to Proxibid or other auction platforms.
These remedies are cumulative and do not limit any other available right or remedy.
### 10. CHARGEBACKS AND PAYMENT DISPUTES
**ALL SALES ARE FINAL. A CHARGEBACK IS NOT A PERMITTED METHOD OF CANCELING A PURCHASE OR AVOIDING THESE TERMS.**
Buyer agrees not to initiate or encourage a chargeback based on buyer's remorse, failure to inspect, disagreement with condition, description or photo differences, inability to remove or transport an item, missed pickup, shipping cost, shipping delay, or any other matter covered by these Terms.
Except for a genuinely unauthorized payment, Buyer must first provide Dvorak Auction with written notice describing the dispute and allow at least ten (10) calendar days to investigate and attempt resolution before initiating any payment dispute.
Nothing in these Terms waives rights that cannot legally be waived regarding a genuinely unauthorized transaction.
A chargeback or payment reversal does not cancel the sale or extinguish the debt. If Buyer initiates a chargeback contrary to these Terms, Buyer remains liable for the unpaid purchase price, the $25 administrative fee when applicable, and all lawful collection costs, court costs, and reasonable attorney fees.
Dvorak Auction may provide the bidding record, invoice, these accepted Terms, photographs, communications, pickup records, shipping records, and other transaction evidence to the card issuer, bank, payment processor, Proxibid, law enforcement, or a court.
### 11. ALL PROPERTY SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS
**ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS," WITHOUT RECOURSE, REFUND, RETURN, CREDIT, OR PRICE ADJUSTMENT.**
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dvorak Auction and the Seller disclaim all express and implied warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
No warranty is made regarding age, authenticity, attribution, quality, condition, safety, operability, completeness, design, marketability, value, title status unless expressly stated, or compliance with any law, code, or regulation.
Buyer acknowledges that used, vintage, construction, mechanical, electrical, collectible, and other property may contain wear, damage, hidden defects, missing components, repairs, modifications, contamination, or safety hazards.
Buyer accepts all such risks and is solely responsible for inspection, testing, safe handling, repair, permitting, regulatory compliance, and intended use after purchase.
### 12. INSPECTION; DESCRIPTIONS; PHOTOGRAPHS
Buyer is encouraged to inspect property before bidding or to have a qualified person inspect on Buyer's behalf. Buyer's failure to inspect does not create a right to cancel the sale.
Buyer must rely on Buyer's own inspection, research, judgment, and independent verification—not on a catalog description, photograph, video, title, label, statement, or opinion.
Catalog descriptions and photographs are provided only as a convenience and are not warranties or guarantees.
Measurements, quantities, model numbers, serial numbers, hours, mileage, dates, materials, condition statements, and other information may be approximate, incomplete, or incorrect.
Photographs may not show every side, component, defect, or item included in a lot.
"Runs," "works," "powers on," or similar language describes only an observation at a particular time and is not a warranty of future operation.
Oral statements do not modify these written Terms. Buyer must ask all questions before bidding.
### 13. PICKUP, LOADING, DISASSEMBLY, AND REMOVAL
Buyer must pick up and completely remove all purchases at the date, time, location, and by the deadline stated in the auction catalog or invoice. Posted pickup and removal times are firm.
Buyer is solely responsible for supplying all labor, tools, equipment, rigging, vehicles, trailers, packing materials, permits, and qualified personnel necessary for safe removal.
Dvorak Auction and the Seller are not required to provide loading assistance, tools, equipment, or labor.
Buyer is responsible for determining access, dimensions, weight, utility connections, disassembly requirements, and safe removal procedures before bidding.
Utilities, built-in items, plumbing, electrical, mechanical systems, and structural attachments may be disconnected or removed only by properly qualified persons and only with Dvorak Auction's approval.
Buyer is liable for any injury, spill, contamination, or damage to the property, building, grounds, equipment, or other persons caused by Buyer or Buyer's employees, agents, contractors, or invitees.
Buyer must immediately repair or pay for all such damage to Dvorak Auction's satisfaction.
No item may be removed until the invoice is paid in full with cleared funds. Dvorak Auction may require a paid receipt and identification before release.
Dvorak Auction may refuse unsafe removal activity and may require proof of insurance or use of a qualified, insured rigger.
Any item not removed by the final posted deadline, without a written extension from Dvorak Auction obtained before that deadline, may be treated as abandoned.
Abandoned property may be moved, stored, resold, recycled, donated, or disposed of without refund to Buyer.
Buyer remains responsible for the purchase price and for all resulting labor, moving, storage, disposal, repair, and legal costs.
Dvorak Auction's decision to allow late pickup on one occasion does not waive the posted deadline or create a duty to allow late pickup in any other case.
### 14. SHIPPING THROUGH SHIPPING SAINT
**SHIPPING IS NOT AUTOMATIC AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PURCHASE PRICE.**
Shipping is available only for items Dvorak Auction agrees are eligible to ship. A request for shipping does not guarantee that an item can or will be shipped.
When shipping is approved, the Buyer's items will be prepared for shipment and Shipping Saint will send a separate invoice for packing, handling, materials, postage or freight, insurance when applicable, and any other shipping-related charges.
Buyer must pay both the auction invoice and the Shipping Saint invoice in full before shipment. Funds must clear before any item is released to a carrier.
Buyer is responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address and for all shipping costs.
Dvorak Auction may select the carrier, packaging method, and service level unless another arrangement is approved in writing.
Oversized, hazardous, regulated, unusually fragile, or prohibited items may be refused for shipment.
Buyer assumes the risk of shipping and must pursue any loss or damage claim with the carrier, subject to the carrier's rules and any purchased insurance.
Shipping and handling charges are nonrefundable after packing or shipment has begun.
### 15. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS
Risk of loss, theft, damage, or destruction passes to Buyer when the lot closes and Buyer is declared the winning bidder, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Dvorak Auction and the Seller may retain possession until payment has cleared but are not insurers of the property.
Buyer is encouraged to obtain insurance immediately for high-value purchases.
Legal title and the right to possession remain subject to full payment and compliance with these Terms.
For titled vehicles, trailers, or equipment, title paperwork will be released or processed only after full payment has cleared and all required documents have been completed.
Any stated title status is subject to verification.
Buyer is responsible for registration, licensing, insurance, and any taxes or fees collected by a governmental agency unless the invoice expressly states otherwise.
### 16. SHIPPING AND REMOVAL RELEASE; INDEMNIFICATION
Buyer enters the auction site and removes or ships property at Buyer's own risk.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Seller, Dvorak Auction, Proxibid, and their respective owners, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and property owners from claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, fines, penalties, and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, arising from Buyer's bidding, purchase, payment default, entry onto the premises, handling, loading, disassembly, removal, transportation, shipping request, possession, or use of the property, except to the extent finally determined to have resulted from the indemnified party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
### 17. INTERNET AND PLATFORM FAILURES
Dvorak Auction does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free Internet bidding.
Buyer is responsible for Buyer's Internet connection, device, browser, account access, and timely bid submission.
Dvorak Auction, the Seller, and Proxibid are not liable for missed bids, delays, outages, software errors, device failures, transmission problems, or other technical issues.
If Dvorak Auction determines that a technical problem materially affected a lot, Dvorak Auction may reopen bidding, continue the auction, cancel a bid, void a sale, or resell the lot.
Buyer's maximum remedy for a sale voided by Dvorak Auction is the return of the amount actually paid for that lot.
### 18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dvorak Auction and the Seller will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, including lost profits, lost use, transportation costs, repair costs, or substitute-purchase costs.
If Dvorak Auction or the Seller is found liable for any claim relating to a lot, the maximum aggregate liability will not exceed the amount Buyer actually paid to Dvorak Auction for that specific lot.
This limitation does not apply where prohibited by law.
### 19. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; ATTORNEY FEES
These Terms and every transaction arising from this auction are governed by Iowa law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
Exclusive venue for any lawsuit involving this auction or these Terms will be in the Iowa District Court for Marshall County, Iowa, or, if federal jurisdiction exists, the applicable federal court serving Marshall County, Iowa.
Buyer consents to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
The prevailing party in an action to enforce these Terms may recover reasonable attorney fees and court costs to the extent permitted by law.
### 20. ORDER OF TERMS; SEVERABILITY; NO WAIVER
These Terms supplement the applicable Proxibid and atgPay agreements.
Auction-specific terms, lot-specific terms, and written corrections posted before a lot closes are incorporated into this agreement.
If terms conflict, the more specific auction- or lot-specific term controls the transaction to the extent permitted by law.
No oral statement or informal communication changes these Terms unless confirmed in writing by Dvorak Auction.
If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.
Dvorak Auction's delay or failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver.
Headings are for convenience only and do not limit the meaning of these Terms.
