TERMS & CONDITIONS
The following terms and conditions apply to auctions at TNT Auction:
All items are sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS, WITH NO WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. Catalog is for informational purposes only. It is up to the bidder to inspect the merchandise thoroughly. ONLINE BIDDERS: BUYER BEWARE! Please run Carfax or other checks prior to bidding.
BIDDER REGISTRATION:
The process for registering to bid, as well as the fees associated with bidding, vary whether you are bidding online or in person. Information for both methods are listed below. If you are planning to bid in person you DO NOT need to sign up for an online account. If possible, it is preferable that you pick one bidding method or the other, rather than signing up twice.
ONLINE BIDDERS:
Online bidders may be required to submit a deposit prior to bidding with TNT Auction. The deposit guarantee requirement is $1000. If you do not make a purchase, your deposit guarantee will be reversed on the first business day after the auction. DO NOT USE A DEBIT CARD FOR YOUR DEPOSIT GUARANTEE. If you use a debit card your funds will be unavailable to you from the time you register until after the auction is over. Once the deposit guarantee is released, it can take up to 10 days for your funds to become available again.
If you are on our auto-accept bidder list, you will be automatically approved for the auction you are registering to bid for. If you are a ProxiBid auto-accept customer you will also be automatically approved for the auction you are registering to bid for. Otherwise, you will need to make a deposit guarantee with a valid CREDIT CARD. Auctioneer reserves the right to require additional deposit funds at the auctioneer's discretion.
If you make a purchase, you will receive an invoice in your email once the auction has concluded. You must contact us to make a payment arrangement by 2:00 PM on the first business day following the auction. If you do not make a payment arrangement in the allotted time, your credit card will automatically be charged and credited to your invoice. All credit card payments are subject to a 3% non-cash fee on the amount charged to your card. All deposits credited to your balance due invoice are non-refundable. If you do not pay your invoice in full, your deposit will be forfeited. $25 PER LOT LATE FEES MAY BE CHARGED ON UNPAID ITEMS FOLLOWING THE PAYMENT DEADLINE.
Do not wait until auction day to register or submit your deposit. You may not be approved at the last minute or during the auction. Contact Proxibid for details or questions.
ONSITE BIDDERS:
If registering onsite, you will be required to show a current photo ID.
If you would like to register as a business, please be prepared with a business card and/or a copy of your business license. If registering as an auto dealer you must provide a current copy of your Dealer License AND Salesman Card. Your Auction Access card is NOT sufficient.
A deposit of $300.00, per unit, is required once you have become the successful bidder on all vehicles, equipment, trailers, etc. For miscellaneous items, please plan to pay for and remove all items on the date of the auction.
NOTICE: All live bidders wishing to register to bid with an address outside of the United States will be required to make an up front deposit of $5000 US.
If you do not make a purchase, your deposit will be refunded. If you make a purchase, your deposit will automatically be credited to your invoice.
If you make the deposit with a credit card, you will be charged a 3% non-cash fee on the amount charged to your card.
Bidder acknowledges that all information given by him/her in the Bidder registration process is of a true and accurate nature. Falsifying information at any time is grounds for termination from current and future auctions, without prior notice to the bidder, and may result in legal action by the Seller and/or Auctioneer.
The balance for all invoices is due, in full, but 2:00 PM on the first business day following the auction. If you fail to make a deposit or a payment, you will be in default. Invoices not paid in the allotted time will be subject to legal action against the registered bidder. Please DO NOT leave the sales yard without making a payment or a deposit.
Merchandise becomes the full responsibility of the buyer at time of his/her successful bid is accepted by the auctioneer. Buyer assumes all risk of loss and damage to property until it is removed from sale premises.
HOW YOU REGISTER, WHETHER IN PERSON OR ONLINE, IS HOW ALL INVOICES, TITLES, AND RELATED PAPERWORK WILL READ. WE DO NOT CHANGE NAMES, ADDRESSES, OR TAX STATUS ONCE YOU HAVE REGISTERED. NO EXCEPTIONS!!
Please review information thoroughly before submitting it online or signing for your bid card in person.
BUYER’S FEE SCHEDULE
Below is a list of fees charged to the buyer. Fees vary based on whether you are bidding and/or paying online or in person. A buyer's fee is charged on all items in the auction. Invoices will initially reflect the cash amount. Additional fees apply for credit and debit payments.
ONLINE BIDDERS
13% (payment by cash, cashier's check, money order, traveler's check, or wire transfer)
14% (payment by debit in person)
16% (payment by credit either in person or over the phone)
ONSITE BIDDERS:
10% (payment by cash, cashier's check, money order, traveler's check, or wire transfer)
11% (payment by debit)
13% (payment by credit)
SALES TAX: Sales tax is charged on all items in the auction. Taxable items will be charged at the current local tax rate at the point of sale. If you have a resale or dealer's license and are exempt from sales tax, you must provide a current copy of your resale certificate at the time of bidder registration. If you are registering as an online bidder, please be prepared to provide your resale certificate at the time you receive your invoice. Non-Residents are NOT exempt on non-titled equipment and miscellaneous items. Taxable items are marked accordingly on the units and in the catalog.
TITLES
Once you have received your title from a member of our staff, either in person or by mail, please take that title and turn it in to your local DMV for a title in your name. Even if you do not intend to register the vehicle, please get a title in your name.
We ask that you take this step to protect yourself against a lost title. LOST TITLES ARE NOT EASILY REPLACED, AND IN SOME CASES MAY BE IRREPLACEABLE. Replacing a lost title can take many months and cost hundreds or dollars. A minimum charge of $250.00 will be charged to replace a lost title. Further charges may be assessed based on the time and costs associated with replacing a lost title. Additionally, many states will NOT allow you to resell a vehicle unless the current title is in your name. A TITLE IS AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT, JUST LIKE YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE; DO NOT LOSE YOUR TITLE.
Delayed titles (marked D/T on the windshield of the unit) will be available by the Friday following the auction. However, in some cases, it may take up to 30 days. If there is a problem with the title or it cannot be produced in the aforementioned time frame, you will be allowed to return the vehicle. The auction sale price plus
the fees and taxes paid at TNT Auction will be refunded. DO NOT spend any money on or re-sell the vehicle until you have a title in hand. Any money spent on the vehicle outside of TNT Auction will NOT be refunded.
Titles are processed in accordance with the UTAH DMV. DMV laws in others states may vary and may require further processing by the BUYER. Units that do not require titles in Utah may have such requirements in other states. The Auctioneer/Owner is NOT responsible, and in some cases, may not be able to provide documentation required by other states. BUYER BEWARE.
TEMPORARY DRIVE PERMITS:
Temporary drive permits are available. Permits are $2.50 and are good for 96 hours. We can sell one permit per vehicle purchased at the auction. IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A TEMPORARY PERMIT YOU MUST PROVIDE PROOF OF CURRENT INSURANCE ON A VEHICLE YOU ALREADY OWN AT THE TIME THE PERMIT IS BEING PURCHASED. No Exceptions.
ODOMETER:
Odometer readings are marked on the windshield or tag of each vehicle. The letter following the odometer reading represents whether the miles are actual, unknown, or exempt (A=Actual, UNK=Unknown or Discrepancy, EX=Exempt). Vehicles marked exempt are 10 years old or older and are exempt from federal odometer disclosure rules; we may have listed the mileage as a courtesy to you, but it is up to you to inspect the vehicle and determine accuracy based on the age of the vehicle.
HOUR METERS:
Hours listed are showing on the hour meter at the time the unit was entered into Auctioneer's system. The accuracy of the hours listed is not guaranteed and are listed for informational purposes only.
REMOVAL:
Unless otherwise indicated, all units must be removed by the Friday following the auction at 4:00 PM. Units remaining in auction facility past this time frame will be subject to transportation and storage fees. Additional fees will apply to have the auction facility opened for removal past the removal date. Units may be disposed of and/or resold at the discretion of the Auctioneer to recoup fees.
