Definitions. The following definitions apply to these Bidder Terms and Conditions for each auction conducted by Auctioneer: "Absentee Bid" means a bid submitted to Auctioneer by an Absentee Bidder for the execution during the Auction under terms established by Auctioneer. "Absentee Bidder" means a person or entity that submits an Absentee Bid. An absentee Bidder may or may not be physically present at the Auction Site during the Auction. "Absolute Auction" or "Absolute" applies only if and when expressly indicated in writing and means that property is sold to the highest bidder regardless of the amount of the final bid, with no limiting conditions, restrictions, or reservations. This type of auction is also known as an auction Without Reserve. Provided that a bid is received within a reasonable time after bidding opens on a Lot, the Lot will be sold to the highest bidder regardless of the final bid amount. A Lot exposed for sale at Absolute Auction may be withdrawn by Auctioneer if a bid is not received within a reasonable time after bidding opens on the Lot. UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY STATED BY AUCTIONEER IN WRITING, NO LOT IS BEING EXPOSED FOR SALE AT ABSOLUTE AUCTION OR WITHOUT RESERVE. "Auction" means an auction conducted by Auctioneer. "Auction Site" means the physical location where the Auction is conducted, and/or where the Property is located, and/ or and/or where inspections may be made, and/or where pick-up occurs. "Bidder" means any person or entity (and the agents or representatives of any such person or entity) that registers, and/or bids, and/or buys, and/or otherwise participates in the Auction (including, without being limited to, inspection and/or pick-up), regardless of whether such person or entity tenders a bid. "Bidder Account" the online account identified to a Bidder by Auctioneer or by an Online Auction Platform Provider on Bidder's Registration. (See, also, Bidder Number).

"Buyer's Premium" is a non-refundable administrative fee calculated as a percentage of the Hammer Price that is payable by the Buyer of each Lot to Auctioneer for Auctioneer's own account. If a Lot is offered Subject to Seller's Confirmation, the Buyer's Premium will be calculated on the amount of the High Bid Subject to Confirmation or such other amount as may be agreed to between Seller and Buyer, whichever is greater. The Buyer's Premium is earned by Auctioneer, and becomes Auctioneer's property, at the Fall of the Hammer. "Commission" means the amount payable by or on behalf of Seller to Auctioneer for Auctioneer's services, calculated as a percentage of the Hammer Price. "Contract Price" means an amount equal to the Hammer Price plus the Buyer's Premium. Any sales tax or similar such taxes or fees will be based on the Contract Price. "Delivery" means the transfer of possession a Lot to the Buyer. Unless otherwise stated in writing, Delivery of a Lot will occur where the Lot is physically located during the Auction or at such other address as indicated on Auctioneer's website. Delivery does not mean that Auctioneer will move or relocate any Lot from its physical location during the Auction, or as indicated on Auctioneer's website, to any other location directed by the Buyer. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, Auctioneer will not move or relocate any Lot(s) on behalf of the Buyer. "Fall of the Hammer" means the point, after bids have been received, at which Auctioneer declares a Lot "sold" to the Bidder acknowledged by Auctioneer as having made the Winning Bid. During an online auction, the Fall of the Hammer may occur electronically at the end of timed (or extended) bidding. If a Lot is exposed for sale Subject to Seller's Confirmation, the Fall of the Hammer will occur on Seller's confirmation of the sale either at the High Bid Subject to Confirmation or at such other amount as may be agreed to, in good faith, by Seller and the Buyer. "Hammer Price" means the High Bid amount recognized by Auctioneer with the Fall of the Hammer. If a Lot is exposed for sale Subject to Seller's Confirmation, the Hammer Price will be (i) the High Bid Subject to Confirmation if confirmed by Seller, or (ii) such other amount as may be agreed to, in good faith, by Seller and the Buyer, whichever is greater. "High Bid Subject to Confirmation" means the high bid amount recognized by Auctioneer at the conclusion of bidding on a Lot that is Subject to Seller's Confirmation.

"Low Estimate" means an amount that Auctioneer anticipates that a Lot may bring at the low end of a spectrum of possible bids.

"Private Sale Price" means the fair market purchase price of the Property paid, or agreed to, at a Private Sale in an arms-length transaction, and in good faith, between Seller and the purchaser of the Property. If the Property is sold through a Private Sale for less than its fair market value, or in a transaction that is not an arms-length transaction, or is gifted by Seller, the Private Sale Price will be an amount equal to the fair market value of the Property in an arms- length transaction. "Registration Deposit" means, if required by Auctioneer, the deposit made by a Bidder in order to register for the Auction. Auctioneer may require that the Registration Deposit be made in certified funds or in such other form as determined by Auctioneer in Auctioneer's discretion. "Reserve" or "With Reserve" means that property may be withdrawn by the Auctioneer and/or bids may be rejected by Auctioneer prior to the Fall of the Hammer.

UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY STATED OTHERWISE BY AUCTIONEER IN WRITING, ALL LOTS ARE BEING EXPOSED FOR SALE WITH RESERVE. "Reserve Price" means the minimum price that Seller is willing to accept for a specific Lot. If a Lot is subject to a Reserve Price, the Lot will not be sold unless the Reserve Price is met or waived. "Seller" means the person or entity having title to a Lot and/or having the power and authority to sell, transfer, and convey title to a Lot. "Subject to Seller's Confirmation" means, with respect to any Lot expressly identified as being sold Subject to Seller's Confirmation, that after the High Bid Subject to Seller's Confirmation has been received and acknowledged by Auctioneer, Seller may determine, in Seller's sole and absolute discretion, to (i) accept such bid, (ii) reject such bid, or (iii) negotiate a higher price.

"Without Reserve" means Absolute. 4. Bidder Registration; Bidder Qualification. YOU are required to register to bid, and YOU must provide a valid credit card in order to be approved for bidding. Auctioneer may make a nominal charge or place a temporary hold against YOUR credit card for verification purposes, and may charge YOUR credit card for YOUR purchases. Auctioneer may establish such other Bidder Registration requirements and Bidder qualifications as Auctioneer determines to be reasonably necessary or appropriate. YOU must provide such information (including identifying information and qualifications) as requested by Auctioneer. Without limitation, Auctioneer may require any of the following in order for YOU to bid: (i) Photo ID; (ii) credit card; (iii) a monetary deposit (fully refunded upon completion of auction in the event that you are not a winning bidder). Auctioneer may refuse to accept a Bidder Registration from any potential Bidder, may refuse to grant bidding privileges to any potential Bidder, and may suspend or revoke the bidding privileges of any Bidder at any time. YOU represent to Auctioneer that, if YOU are a natural person, YOU are at least eighteen (18) years of age and that YOU are otherwise legally able to enter into a contract. Each entity (i.e., corporation, limited liability company, or other organization) represents that it has the power and authority to register, to bid, and to complete the purchase transaction if it is the Winning Bidder. If bids are made by or on behalf of an entity, the entity and any individual making the bid will be jointly and severally liable on account of the bid. YOU acknowledge and agree that YOU have read, understand, and agree to be bound by, these Bidder Terms and Conditions, any and all other terms and conditions posted at the Auction Site or on the Auctioneer website(s), and the terms and conditions posted on the websites of any Online Auction Platform Provider(s) used by Auctioneer. Auctioneer may, in Auctioneer's sole and absolute discretion, receive bids from a person or entity that has not registered to bid and/or has not satisfied all requirements for Bidder Registration, and, by bidding, such person or entity will be bound by these Bidder Terms and Conditions, any and all other terms and conditions published by auctioneer (including those posted at the Auction Site or on Auctioneer's website(s), or otherwise), and the terms and conditions posted on the websites of any Online Auction Platform Provider(s) used by Auctioneer. BIDDER QUALIFICATION PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF AUCTIONEER AND SELLER, AND CREATE NO RIGHTS OR INTERESTS IN ANY OTHER PERSONS, INCLUDING COMPETING BIDDERS. AUCTIONEER AND/OR SELLER MAY (BUT WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO) WAIVE ANY BIDDER QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS, EITHER GLOBALLY OR ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. 5. Access to Auction Site and/or Online Auction Platform; Assumption of Risk; Limitation of Liability. YOU assume all risks in connection with YOUR participation, or attempted participation, in the Auction, including, without being limited to, risks arising from or associated with: (i) YOUR presence at the Auction Site; (ii) YOUR use of any Online Auction Platform utilized by Auctioneer; (iii) removal, transport, or use of any Lot(s); and/or (iv) any harm, injury, or damage to YOU or YOUR property resulting from acts other than those caused exclusively by Auctioneer's gross negligence or intentional misconduct. YOU further agree that neither YOU nor any person accompanying YOU to, or otherwise visiting, the Auction Site will attempt to operate or activate any machinery or equipment at the Auction Site without Auctioneer's express consent; and, that, YOU will assume all liability for property damage and/or personal injury caused by YOU or YOUR representatives, employees, independent contractors, or agents. YOU acknowledge and agree that the Auction Site may be a potentially dangerous place that requires YOU to be diligent, alert, and aware at all times. Flammable, noxious, corrosive, pressurized and otherwise hazardous substances may be present at the Auction Site. Machinery, equipment, and vehicles may be operated at the Auction Site, and electrical circuits may be live at the Auction Site. YOU enter the Auction Site at YOUR own risk with notice of the condition and activities that will be, or have been, conducted at the Auction Site; and YOU assume such risks with respect to YOURSELF and anyone, including any minor children, accompanying YOU or visiting the Auction Site on YOUR behalf. YOUR representatives, employees, independent contractors, or agents also assume such risks. No person will have any claim against Auctioneer and/or Seller, or their respective agents or employees, for any injuries sustained or for damages to or loss of property that may occur at the Auction Site. Neither Auctioneer nor Seller will be liable for any damages of any type or nature sustained or claimed by YOU or by any other person or entity in connection with, or in any way related to, the Auction. YOU waive any and all claims and/or causes of against Auctioneer arising in connection with, or in any way related to (i) YOUR presence at the Auction Site; (ii) YOUR use of any Online Auction Platform utilized by Auctioneer; (iii) removal, transport, or use of any Lot(s); and/or (iv) any harm, injury, or damage to YOU or YOUR property resulting from acts other than those caused exclusively by Auctioneer's gross negligence or intentional misconduct. 6. Nature of the Auction. Unless otherwise stated in writing, the Auction will be With Reserve. Auctioneer may Withdraw any Lot prior to the Fall of the Hammer on such Lot, even if bids have been tendered and/or recognized against such Lot. In addition to being With Reserve, certain specific Lots identified by Auctioneer may be sold Subject to Seller's Confirmation, which means that after the High Bid Subject to Confirmation has been received and acknowledged by Auctioneer, Seller may, in Seller's sole and absolute discretion, accept or reject the final bid on such Lot(s) 7. Bid Increments. Bid increments are established and controlled by Auctioneer, and Auctioneer may, in Auctioneer's sole and absolute discretion, modify, adjust, or amend bid increments either globally or on a case-by-case or Lot-by-Lot basis. Subject to adjustment in Auctioneer's discretion, the following bid increments will apply: RANGE INCREMENT $1.00 - $99.99 $10.00 $100.00 - $499.99 $25.00 $500.00 - $999.99 $50.00 $1,000.00 - $1,999.99 $100.00 $2,000.00 - $4,999.99 $250.00 $5,000.00 - $9,999.99 $500.00 $10,000.00 - $29,999.99 $1,000.00 $30,000.00 - $99,999.99 $2,500.00 $100,000.00 - $999,999.99 $5,000.00 $1,000,000 and Above. As Announced 8. Absentee Bids; Remote Bidding. In Auctioneer's discretion, Auctioneer may receive Absentee Bids and/or bids tendered by remote Bidders (whether telephonically or otherwise). Absentee Bids may be initiated and advanced in accordance with Auctioneer's policies and procedures. Auctioneer will make reasonable efforts to execute Absentee Bids, but Auctioneer will have no liability to any Absentee Bidder for the failure to execute any Absentee Bids for any reason whatsoever. Each Absentee Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a Lot may be sold to another Bidder for the maximum amount of the Absentee Bid based on a bidding sequence that causes another Bidder to reach the such amount first. If the execution of an Absentee Bid at its maximum amount would require Auctioneer to accept a bid that is less than a full bidding increment, Auctioneer has the sole and absolute discretion to acknowledge or reject such bid. An Absentee Bidder may authorize Auctioneer to advance the bid by one or more bidding increments after the maximum amount of the Absentee Bid is, or would be, reached. Auctioneer acts as the agent of the Seller only, and the receipt and/or execution of Absentee Bids will not create an agency relationship between Auctioneer and any Absentee Bidder. 9. Buyer's Premium. Each Lot is subject to a Buyer's Premium that will be calculated as a percentage of the Hammer Price and paid by the Winning Bidder in addition to the Hammer Price. The amount of the Buyer's Premium for each Auction will be posted on Auctioneer's website and/or otherwise announced by Auctioneer, and the Buyer's Premium may vary depending on whether YOUR bids are submitted online, or onsite, or otherwise. The Buyer's Premium may also be adjusted to account for credit card processing fees and/or check verification fees. The Buyer's Premium may be reduced, either globally or on a case-by-case basis, at Auctioneer's discretion. The Buyer's Premium is earned at the Fall of the Hammer and will not be refunded by Auctioneer. The Buyer's Premium will be added to the Hammer Price to determine the final Contract Price for tax purposes. If YOU are the Winning Bidder on any Lot(s) and YOU default on YOUR obligations as set forth in these Bidder Terms and Conditions, or otherwise, there will be no set-off or reduction in the Buyer's Premium even if a Lot is resold. Because the Buyer's Premium is earned with the Fall of the Hammer, Auctioneer has no obligation to mitigate damages with respect to the Buyer's Premium, and YOU acknowledge and agree that mitigation of damages is not possible. 10. Online Auction. In addition to all other terms and conditions set forth in these Bidder Terms and Conditions, the following terms and conditions apply if the Auction is conducted, in whole or in part, online: 10.1. Posted Times. Unless stated otherwise, all posted or listed times are intended to reference the local time zone at the Auction Site. Posted closing times and time displays are approximate. Auctioneer reserves the right, in Auctioneer's sole and absolute discretion, to close early, extend, reset, or reopen the Auction (including bidding on any Lot(s)). 10.2. Online Bidding; Maximum Bids. Online bids may be submitted as a single advancing bid on a Lot, or as a maximum bid on a Lot, and bidding will advance competitively to the next available increment. If YOU submit a single advancing bid on a Lot and YOUR bid is equal to or less than the maximum bid previously submitted by another Bidder on the same Lot, YOU will be outbid. If YOU submit a maximum bid on a Lot and a maximum bid has previously been submitted by another Bidder on the same Lot, bidding will advance to the next highest bid increment after which either YOUR maximum bid or the previously submitted maximum bid has been exhausted, whichever occurs first, and the then-current bid will be shown at that amount. If YOUR bid is shown as the current high bid on a Lot and another Bidder submits a bid (either as a single bid or as a maximum bid), bidding will advance to the next highest bid increment after which either YOUR maximum bid or the maximum bid of the competing Bidder has been exhausted, whichever occurs first, and the then-current bid will be shown at that amount. 10.3. Technology Disruptions. YOU acknowledge and agree that the Auction is conducted electronically and relies on hardware and software that may malfunction without warning. Auctioneer will not be responsible for, and will suffer no liability for, technology disruptions, errors, or failures (including disruptions to bidding or the failure to execute, recognize, or record online bids), whether caused by (i) loss of connectivity, breakdown, disruption, or failure of the Online Auction Platform(s), (ii) breakdown, disruption, or failure of a Bidder's internet connection, computer, or system, or (iii) otherwise. Auctioneer may, but will not be required to, continue, suspend, delay, extend, reschedule, or close the Auction because of disruptions caused by technology failures, even after bidding has commenced. 10.4. Failures by Online Auction Platform Provider and Its Affiliates or Contractors. Under no circumstances will Auctioneer be liable for any failure of the Online Auction Platform Provider(s) to perform, or for the failure of any affiliates, employees, agents, representatives, or contractors of the Online Auction Platform Provider(s) to perform regardless of whether such obligations are owing, directly or indirectly, to Auctioneer, to YOU, to Seller, or otherwise. 10.5. Automatic Extension Feature and Rolling Close of the Bidding. Any Online Bidding Period may include an automatic extension feature. This means that if a bid is entered within a set time period approaching the end of the established Online Bidding Period on a Lot, the Online Bidding Period for the Lot will be automatically extended for an additional period of time in increments established by Auctioneer, and such extensions will continue until there is a set period of time that lapses during which no advancing online bid is received, after which bidding on the Lot will close. 10.6. Disclaimer. THE ONLINE AUCTION PLATFORM(S) AND AUCTIONEER'S WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE AUCTION, OR THE NATURE, CHARACTER, OR FUNCTIONALITY OF TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATED WITH THE AUCTION, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RECOURSE IS TO IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE AUCTION. AUCTIONEER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE YOUR BIDDER REGISTRATION, TO SUSPEND OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCESS TO THE AUCTION, TO IMPOSE LIMITS ON CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE ONLINE AUCTION PLATFORM, AND/OR LIMIT, RESTRICT, OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCESS TO THE AUCTIONEER'S WEBSITE OR TO THE AUCTION WITHOUT NOTICE. 10.7. Restrictions on Use. YOU agree that YOU will not use any robot, spider, other automatic device, or manual process to monitor or copy the Online Auction Platform(s), Auctioneer's website, any technology associated with the Auction, and/or any content associated with the Auction. YOU agree that YOU will not use any device, software or routine to interfere with, or to attempt to interfere with, the proper functioning of the Online Auction Platform(s), Auctioneer's website, any technology associated with the Auction, or any activity being conducted in connection with the Auction. YOU agree that YOU will not take any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the Online Auction Platform(s) and/or Auctioneer's website and/or online infrastructure. YOU agree that YOU will not copy, reproduce, alter, modify, create derivative works, or publicly display any content from the Online Auction Platform(s) and/or Auctioneer's website.

YOU are responsible for monitoring and maintaining the security of YOUR Bidder Account information. If, at any time, YOU know or suspect that YOUR Bidder Account has been hacked, cloned, compromised, or improperly accessed, YOU must notify Auctioneer, in writing, immediately, and YOU will not be responsible for bids tendered through YOUR Bidder Account after such notice is received by Auctioneer. 11. No Bid Retraction. YOU may not retract a bid that has been acknowledged by Auctioneer or that has been submitted online. YOU acknowledge and agree that Auctioneer is acting in reliance on tendered bids in the conduct of the Auction, and that bid retraction is disruptive and interferes with the Auction, and that, as an inducement for Auctioneer to accept YOUR Bidder Registration and for YOU to bid at the Auction, YOU agree not to withdraw or to attempt to withdraw any bid tendered by YOU or on YOUR behalf. 12. Responsibility for Bids. YOU are responsible for all bids made using YOUR Bidder Number or YOUR Bidder Account, and if YOU tender a bid that is determined by Auctioneer to be the Winning Bid, or if a Winning Bid is submitted from YOUR computer, or YOUR device, or from YOUR Bidder Account, YOU will be the Buyer. If YOUR Bidder Number is lost, stolen, or misappropriated, or if YOUR Bidder Account has been hacked or compromised YOU should notify Auctioneer immediately. YOU will be liable for all bids tendered using YOUR Bidder Number or Bidder Account prior to giving Auctioneer notice that YOUR Bidder Number was lost, stolen, or misappropriated or that YOUR Bidder Account was hacked or compromised. 13. Conduct of the Auction. Auctioneer will regulate all matters relating to the conduct of the Auction and Auctioneer's decisions will be final and binding. Auctioneer will have control over bidding, and Auctioneer will resolve any and all disputes. Auctioneer may, in Auctioneer's sole and absolute discretion, reopen the bidding if (i) a bid is made while the hammer is falling in acceptance of a prior bid or while bidding is otherwise being terminated, or (ii) after the Fall of the Hammer or other termination of the bidding Auctioneer is made aware of a bid that was unnoticed prior to the Fall of the Hammer or other termination of the bidding, or (iii) after the Fall of the Hammer or other termination of the bidding Auctioneer is made aware that Auctioneer and a bid assistant or ringman, or multiple bid assistants or ringmen, have acknowledged bids in the same amount bid from different Bidders, or (iv) an online bid, or other bid by a remote Bidder, tendered or attempted to be tendered prior to the Fall of the Hammer goes unrecognized, or (v) some other bid dispute arises. Any contract formed with the Fall of the Hammer will be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section. If bidding is reopened pursuant to this Section, the bid recognized by Auctioneer prior to the reopening of the bidding will be held, and may not be retracted, and, if no further bids are received, such bid will be the Winning Bid. The determination of whether to reopen the bidding is within Auctioneer's sole and absolute discretion, and Auctioneer is not required to reopen the bidding. Auctioneer will suffer no liability on account of Auctioneer's determination to reopen the bidding or not. Auctioneer reserves the right, for any reason, in Auctioneer's sole discretion, to terminate, change or suspend the sale of any Lot or any aspect of any Auction sale. Advertised times for bidding on particular Lots are estimates provided for convenience only, and Auctioneer will have no liability with respect to any Lots sold before or after an advertised time. 14. Winning Bidders Subject to Certification by Auctioneer. The final determination of the Winning Bidder will be made by Auctioneer. Any notification to an online Bidder by email or electronic message (whether generated manually or automatically) is subject to certification by Auctioneer. Any dispute regarding the identity of the Winning Bidder on a Lot will be resolved by Auctioneer, and Auctioneer may reopen the Bidding. Auctioneer's determination of the Winning Bidder on any Lot will be final and conclusive. 15. Bidding by or on Behalf of Seller. Seller reserves the right to bid at the Auction. Seller, or those acting on Seller's behalf, may bid on any Lot(s) with the exception of Lot(s) expressly identified, in writing, as being exposed for sale at an Absolute Auction that is not a forced sale. Auctioneer may, on Seller's behalf, execute bids against the Reserve for any and all Lot(s) exposed for sale With Reserve, and there is no requirement that any specific bid executed on Seller's behalf or against the Reserve be identified as such or that such bids will be tendered under any single Bidder Number or Bidder Account. 16.

Unless specific Property is, in express written terms, exposed for sale at Absolute Auction, Auctioneer has the right to withdraw any Property from the Auction prior to the Fall of the Hammer. 17. Winning Bid; Buyer. Pursuant to these Bidder Terms and Conditions, the Bidder making the Winning Bid for any Lot will be the Buyer of such Lot. 18. Contract of Sale for Personal Property. No additional or further writing will be required to evidence the existence of a contract of sale for any Lot sold at the Auction regardless of the Contract Price, and these Bidder Terms and Conditions, together with Auctioneer's clerking sheets or other physical or digital notation identifying the Lot, the Hammer Price, and the Buyer, will be conclusive evidence as to the terms of the sale. These Bidder Terms and Conditions will be incorporated into and made a part of the contract between each Buyer and Seller. 19. All Property Sold "AS IS," "WHERE IS," and "WITH ALL FAULTS." EACH LOT IS BEING EXPOSED FOR SALE, AND WILL BE SOLD, IN ITS AS IS/WHERE IS CONDITION AT THE TIME OF THE AUCTION, WITH ALL FAULTS, INCLUDING ANY HIDDEN DEFECTS OF ANY NATURE. UNLESS EXPRESSLY STATED OTHERWISE, PROPERTY THAT IS EXPOSED FOR SALE IN ITS "AS IS" CONDITION HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED, ALTERED, INSPECTED, OR TESTED BY AUCTIONEER. NEITHER AUCTIONEER NOR SELLER MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE NATURE, VALUE, SOURCE, AUTHENTICITY, FITNESS, MERCHANTABILITY, AND/OR ANY OTHER ASPECT OR CHARACTERISTICS OF SUCH LOT.

By bidding, YOU acknowledge and agree that YOU have had a full and fair opportunity to inspect the Lot(s), and that YOU are relying solely on YOUR inspection and investigation, or that YOU have waived inspection and investigation, and that YOU have not relied on any statement, representation, warranty, or guarantee made by Auctioneer, or by Seller, or by anyone acting as agent or representative of Seller; provided, however, that if a pre-auction inspection is not available due to social distancing restrictions or otherwise, YOU acknowledge and agree that (i) YOU are knowingly and willing bidding without a pre-auction inspection, (ii) YOU are not relying on any representations or warranties by auctioneer or seller, and (iii) YOU are assuming any and all risks associated with YOUR purchase of the Lot(s) without a pre-auction inspection.
