Terms of Sale
1. Items/lots will be sold to the highest bidder in person, absentee bidder, or online for cash in accordance with customary auction terms and conditions and more specifically subject to these Terms of Sale. At the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, the item/lot becomes the property of the Buyer. Within seventy-two (72) hours of any purchase, the item/lot must be paid in full by cash, cashier's check, certified funds or credit card made payable to Air Works Consignment Auction. All sales at the Auction are final. The balance of registration participation deposits are refundable after applying the same to any purchases. The Auctioneer reserves the right at his sole discretion to request an increase in the deposit given.
2. No purchases may be removed until after conclusion of the Auction and full settlement of payment.
3. Acceptance of bid by the Auctioneer is a commitment to purchase and binding on buyer, its principals, agents, successors and assigns. Buyers or their agent[s] must pay for, accept delivery, and remove the items/lots purchased. If payment has not been made within seventy-two (72) hours, items/lots will be deemed abandoned, and become the exclusive property of the Air Works Consignment Auction; in addition, the Buyer's deposit will be applied to the payment and Buyer will be responsible to the Air Works Consignment Auction for the entire balance of the purchase price plus any and all direct and consequential damages and any attorney's fees and costs incurred in collection. Interest will accrue on the balance of any unpaid purchase price annually at ten percent (10%) or the highest interest rate allowed by law. For buyers using credit cards, the bid deposits authorized at registration will be applied to the purchase price and the balance will be charged to the same credit card.
4. After the Auction, the Buyer is responsible for checking the quantities of the items/lots purchased before check out. No adjustments in quantities will be made after the items/lots are checked out. Once a bid is accepted, neither Auctioneers nor owners will be liable for any loss, shortage, damage or liability arising from or as a result of any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to negligence, any act or omission, strikes, industrial disputes, civil disruptions, war, terrorism, natural disaster, acts of God, or any other event or occurrence in or beyond the control of the Air Works Consignment Auction. Buyers are advised to pre-arrange insurance coverage of their purchases on award of bid.
5. If, for any reason whatsoever, the Auctioneer fails to deliver an awarded item/lot, the Auctioneer's sole liability shall be the return of any deposit or monies paid on said item/lot and the Buyer shall have no further claim whatsoever including without limitation direct, indirect, consequential, exemplary or incidental damages.
6. Items/lots may be offered subject to a reserve price without notice to the bidders.
7. The Auctioneer may, at his sole discretion, without reason, notice or liability at any time prior to or after commencement of the auction, but prior to acceptance of bid, alter, withdraw or vary any or all items/lots, refuse to accept any bid or terminate bidding on any or all items/lots, or cancel the Auction entirely. Auctioneers shall have the right at any time to offer a complete facility or the entire balance of remaining items/lots as a single lot.
8. The advances, progression, and rules in the bidding shall be regulated at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer. The Auctioneer reserves the right not to acknowledge or accept any bid which is merely a fractional advance over the preceding bid, or to change the bid price. In the event of a tie, the Auctioneer, at his sole discretion, may reopen the bidding to determine the highest bidder.
9. ALL ITEMS/LOTS IN THE AUCTION ARE PURCHASED "AS IS" IRRESPECTIVE OF CONDITION, WEAR, DAMAGE, AND ALL FAULTS. All sales of items/lots are final and without any warranty, guarantee or representation of any kind or nature whatsoever, either express or implied, written or oral, as to the design, condition, merchantability, fitness for any particular purpose, quality, capacity, workmanship, or expectation that any items/lots will satisfy the requirements of any law, rule or regulation. It is the Buyer's sole responsibility to provide proper safety devices and equipment or the means to meet all government safety standards or any other laws, including any environmental protection or other public protection laws or regulations. The Buyer specifically relieves, releases, indemnifies and holds the Air Works Consignment Auction and owners exempt from and against any and all responsibility, damages, claims, fines, penalties, judgment, actions, lawsuits, and liability of every kind and nature, including without limitation payment of the Air Works Consignment Auction's attorney's fees and costs, in connection with or as a result of any breach of Buyer's obligations, duties or responsibilities described herein or for violation of any provision of these terms of sale or the auction rules either posted or announced by the Auctioneer. In the event that the Air Works Consignment Auction must enforce these Terms of Sale against the Buyer in a court of law, the Buyer will be responsible for the Air Works Consignment Auction's attorney's fees and costs in addition to all other available remedies.
10. Quantities, descriptions, weights, measurements, dimensions, serial and machine numbers, year and model set out the items/lots in the auction brochures, catalogues, any advertisements and/or invoices are believed to be accurate. However, the Auctioneers, owners, or advertising counsel are not responsible or liable for any discrepancies, inaccuracies of failure of the item/lots to correspond with any written or verbal representation of such information made by or on behalf of either the Auctioneers or owner, or any perceived or expected standard or custom, or any other particulars such as the genuineness or authenticity of any items/lots. No item/lot shall be sold or deemed sold or sold by description or such information and buyer shall not be entitled to rely thereon. All such information is given by way of identification only and no warranty, condition, representation or guarantee is made, given or is to be implied. The Auctioneer and owner are not responsible or liable for any damage of loss (direct, indirect, consequential or otherwise) arising as a result of any inaccuracy in respect thereof.
11. By placing an absentee bid, you are authorizing the Auctioneer to bid on your behalf up to the limit of your bid--that is, if there are no other bidders exceeding your bid, the Auctioneer will only bid 80% of your left bid. Auctioneers reserve the right to advance your bid at the going increment, based on other buyers' bids. The highest bid placed on a virtual auction will be accepted as the final bid. Any absentee bid is irrevocable and non-cancelable.
12. These Terms of Sale may not be changed, amended or modified except by the Auctioneer or by the Air Works Consignment Auction.
