Auction Terms & Conditions
All bidders at Auctions On Demand acknowledge that they have read these terms and

Auctions On Demand with their full name, address, and phone number.
Addition of Lots to or Withdrawal of Lots from Sale: The Auctioneer reserves the right to
withdraw from sale any of the items listed or to sell at the auction items not listed. The
auctioneer also reserves the right to group one or more lots into one or more selling lots or to
subdivide a lot into two or more selling lots. Whenever the best interest of the seller will be
served, the Auctioneer reserves the right to sell all of the items listed in bulk.

Bids: The Auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid. The highest
bidder shall be the buyer at the hammer price.

Dispute Between Bidders: If any dispute arises between two or more bidders, the Auctioneer
may decide the dispute or may immediately put the lot up for sale again and resell the lot to
the highest bidder. The decision of the Auctioneer shall be final and absolute.
Condition of Items Sold: The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for the correct description,
authenticity, genuineness, estimated selling price, or defect in any lot, and makes no warranty
in connection therewith. No allowance will be made or sale set aside due to any incorrectness,
error in cataloging, or any imperfections not noted. No monetary deduction will be allowed on
damaged items in a lot as all goods being offered for public exhibition are sold “as is” and
without recourse.

Payment: Buyers must settle their accounts at the conclusion of the auction. All lots are to be
paid in full by cash, approved check, Mastercard, Visa, or debit card at the close of the auction.
The Auctioneer reserves the right to hold the merchandise bought until a buyer’s check clears
and reserves the right to not accept a check. A pre-auction authorization will be done to
establish available credit; however, a buyer’s credit card will NOT be charged until a purchase is
made. If a buyer fails to pick up his/her purchases at the end of the allotted pick up times, the
buyer’s credit card will be charged for the lots purchased plus the applicable buyer’s premium
and state taxes.

Shipping: Auctions On Demand can ship smaller items through USPS. All shipped items will
be insured for the full purchase price, and all shipping costs must be paid for before the item or
items are shipped. Auctions On Demand will also work with a buyer to find a freight or
shipping company for larger items, but it will be the buyer’s responsibility for the packaging and
handling of said item or items. Auctions On Demand recommends that a buyer contact the
auction company prior to purchasing an item to get general shipping information.

premium. All purchases will be subject the sales tax unless the buyer provides Auctions On

for lots or purchases not removed within the time specified for pick up, and the Auctioneer has
the option of removing, storing, or reselling at the expense and risk of the buyer any lots or
purchases left at the auction site after the specified pick up times.

Claims: No claims will be allowed after lots or purchases are removed from the auction
premises.
