Conditions of Sale By Bidding, you understand that any Bid you submit can and may be regarded as the Purchase Price Bid for a particular Lot; accordingly, your Bid constitutes a legally binding agreement to purchase the Lot in accordance with your Bid if accepted by the auctioneer.

Condition Statement It is the buyer's responsibility to be knowledgeable about the condition of the property before bidding. This is a live auction, and the buyer is advised to inspect the items in person during the week prior to the auction. As a courtesy, Cottone Auctions makes condition reports available prior to the auction. All lots are sold "AS IS". No statement regarding condition, kind, value, or quality of a lot, whether made orally at the auction or at any other time, or in writing in this catalog or elsewhere, shall be construed to be an express or implied warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. Any such warranty is WAIVED. ALL SALES ARE FINAL AND NO SALE RESCISSONS WILL BE MADE ON THE BASIS OF CONDITION, NO EXCEPTIONS. IMPORTANT NOTICES Cottone Auctions usually auctions items at approximately 80 lots per hour. On some occasions your local Internet connection may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid as insurance to avoid disappointment. By bidding, you agree that Cottone's may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since internet bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the internet bid is presented to us, due to possible Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over internet bids. Breach If a buyer fails to make timely payment as required in these Terms, or breaches any other covenant, representation or warranty in this Agreement, we shall be entitled, in our discretion, to exercise any remedies legally available to us, including, but not limited to, the following: A) cancellation of the sale of the Lot to the non-paying buyer, including the sale of any other Lot to the same buyer (whether or not paid); B) reselling the Lot, at public or private sale, with or without reserve; retention of all amounts already paid by the buyer to Cottone. C) After 30 Days - File a Civil Complaint against the buyer to recover any balance due plus court fees, interest, storage fees, administrative costs, and any other applicable financial hardship caused to Cottone Auctions Inc., and/or the consignor or pursue other collection avenues to recover any and all losses. D) Charge interest at a rate of 1% per month throughout the entire time frame of non-payment. E) After 45 Days - Re-offer the items for sale, either publicly or privately, and collect any remaining balance owed after such sale from the original buyer, including, but not limited to, total balance remaining, court fees, interest, storage fees, administrative costs (including those related to re-selling the item(s)) Winning Notification and Billing: After the FINAL session in this auction is complete.
