COVID-19 is an extremely contagious virus that can cause severe illness which can lead to death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "Older adults and people who have severe underlying chronic medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness." To help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, we require certain protocols to be strictly followed. In response to the White House Guidelines for Opening Up America and the CDC Guidance it recommends, we have taken enhanced health and safety measures to help protect You, our other Customers, our Staff, and Loved Ones each may be in contact with.

" At this facility you must maintain 6 feet of distance from any person who does not cohabitate with you. " A non-invasive temperature check may be required to enter the facility. " Additional guidelines may be required as the response to COVID-19 unfolds. ANYONE NOT FOLLOWING THESE SIMPLE RULES WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE PREMISES. By entering this facility you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19. Further, you specifically hold AARON JOSEPH, LLC, its employees, officers, directors, and owner(s), as well as the property and merchandise owner(s) harmless from any and all liability due to exposure to COVID-19.

These Terms & Conditions, amended by any published notice, whether posted, printed, or verbal, constitute the entire Terms & Conditions on which items in this sale will be offered and/or sold by AARON JOSEPH on behalf of any consignor of such items for whom we act as agent. By bidding at this auction, you are expressly agreeing to these Terms & Conditions. Further, by bidding you become party to a negotiation, and expressly agree that in the event that you are the high bidder, and the item or lot of items is declared sold, a contract for sale and purchase is created under the laws of the State of Florida. BIDDING: All bidders are required to register to bid, and receive a paddle number prior to bidding. As part of the bidder registration process, each bidder must attest that they have received, read, and understand these BIDDER TERMS & CONDITIONS. If you have any questions regarding these BIDDER TERMS & CONDITIONS, please ask during the registration process. By bidding at this auction, a bidder is creating a contract, enforceable under the laws of the JURISDICTION, in the State of Florida, United States of America. Bidding on an item will be considered sufficient evidence that a bidder accepts all conditions set forth in these BIDDER TERMS & CONDITIONS, and any conditions outlined on the day of the sale. Any individual bidding on behalf of, or as an agent of another individual or company, whether or not such agency is disclosed, and whether or not the identity of the Principal is disclosed, will be jointly and severally liable along with the Principal, under any contract created by the acceptance of a bid. The Auctioneer has the authority to accept or reject any and all bids. All bidding is in terms of United States Currency. The Auctioneer determines who the high bidder is. In the event of a "tie-bid", the Auctioneer may re-open the item between the tie bidders. The Auctioneer's decisions are final. BUYER'S PREMIUM: A 20% Buyer's Premium will be charged on all purchases. The Buyer's Premium is in addition to your high bid if you are the successful high bidder. For example, if you bid $100.00 at an auction with a 20% Buyer's Premium, and you are the successful high bidder, you will be invoiced $120.00 (Your $100.00 Bid + $20.00 for the Buyer's Premium). Please bid accordingly. There is never a fee to place a bid and no Buyer's Premium is charged unless you are the successful high bidder for a lot or lots at the auction, and are therefore the purchaser of the item(s). SALES TAX: Sales Tax at the SALES TAX RATE stipulated above (State & Local) will be collected on all sales made and delivered to you or to any agent picking purchases up on your behalf. The rules of the State Department of Revenue for the JURISDICTION require that Sales Tax be charged on the total invoice price including Buyer's Premium.
