Sales tax rate will be charged by law on behalf of the state and locality where YOU take possession of YOUR purchase. Lots are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless the required form and copy of permit are on file with LAG. It is YOUR responsibility to know the sales tax rate applicable. As a convenience and without any guarantee, you may use this website, https://www.taxjar.com/sales-tax-calculator, as a resource to calculate your applicable sales tax rate. Bidder agrees to pay LAG the actual amount of tax due if sales tax is not properly collected due to 1) an expired, inaccurate, or inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form and certificate must be on file at and verified by LAG five days prior to the auction, or the tax must be paid.

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 A Lot exposed for sale at Absolute Auction may be withdrawn by LAG if a bid is not received within a reasonable time after bidding opens on the Lot.

“Reserve” or “With Reserve” means that property may be withdrawn by LAG and/or bids may be rejected by LAG prior to the Fall of the Hammer. While Lots exposed for sale With Reserve may be subject to a Reserve Price, a Reserve Price is not necessary for a Reserve Auction. UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY STATED OTHERWISE BY LAG IN WRITING, ALL LOTS ARE BEING EXPOSED FOR SALE WITHOUT RESERVE.

LAG may establish such other Bidder Registration requirements and Bidder qualifications as LAG determines to be reasonably necessary or appropriate. YOU must provide such information (including identifying information and qualifications) as requested by LAG. LAG 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. By registering to bid, YOU represent to LAG 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) registering to bid 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 LAG website(s), and the terms and conditions posted on the websites of any Online Auction Platform Provider(s) used by LAG. LAG 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 LAG (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 LAG. BIDDER QUALIFICATION PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF LAG AND SELLER AND CREATE NO RIGHTS OR INTERESTS IN ANY OTHER PERSONS, INCLUDING COMPETING BIDDERS. LAG AND/OR SELLER MAY (BUT WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO) WAIVE ANY BIDDER QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS, EITHER GLOBALLY OR ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.
4. Bidding in U.S. Dollars. All bidding will be in U.S. Dollars.
5. Access to Auction Site and/or Online Auction Platform and/or other Third-Party Service Providers; 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 YOUR presence at the Auction Site and/or YOUR use of any Online Auction Platform utilized by LAG and/or YOUR use of any Third-Party Service Provider. Neither LAG 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, YOUR presence at the Auction Site and/or YOUR use of any Online Auction Platform utilized by LAG and/or YOUR use of any Third-Party Service Providers utilized by LAG. YOU waive any and all claims and/or causes of against LAG arising in connection with, or in any way related to YOUR presence at the Auction Site and/or YOUR use of any Online Auction Platform utilized by LAG and/or YOUR use of any Third-Party Service Providers utilized by LAG.
6. Nature of the Auction. Unless otherwise stated in writing, the Auction will be Without Reserve. LAG 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 Without Reserve, certain specific Lots identified by LAG may be sold Subject to Seller’s Confirmation, which means that after the High Bid Subject to Confirmation has been received and acknowledged by LAG, Seller may, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, accept or reject the final bid on such Lot(s).
7. Bid Increments. An auction is by its nature fast-moving and bidding may progress very quickly. In a live auction, the Auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments the Auctioneer considers appropriate. Bid increments are established and controlled by LAG and may be adjusted or modified in Auctioneer’s sole and absolute discretion.
8. Absentee Bids; Remote Bidding. In LAG’s discretion, LAG 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. LAG will make reasonable efforts to execute Absentee Bids, but LAG 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 such amount first. If the execution of an Absentee Bid at its maximum amount would require LAG to accept a bid that is less than a full bidding increment, LAG has the sole and absolute discretion to acknowledge or reject such bid. An Absentee Bidder may authorize LAG to advance the bid by one or more bidding increments after the maximum amount of the Absentee Bid is, or would be, reached. LAG acts as the agent of the Seller only, and the receipt and/or execution of Absentee Bids will not create an agency relationship between LAG and any Absentee Bidder.
9. Conduct of the Auction. LAG will regulate all matters relating to the conduct of the Auction and Auctioneer’s decisions will be final and binding. LAG will have control over bidding, and LAG will resolve any and all disputes. LAG 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 LAG 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 LAG is made aware that LAG 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 LAG 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, LAG is not required to reopen the bidding, and Auctioneer’s determination will be final and conclusive. LAG 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 LAG will have no liability with respect to any Lots sold before or after an advertised time.
10. Winning Bidders Subject to Certification by LAG. The final determination of the Winning Bidder will be
made by LAG. Any notification to an online Bidder by email or electronic message (whether generated manually or automatically) is subject to certification by LAG. Any dispute regarding the identity of the Winning Bidder on a Lot will be resolved by LAG, and LAG may reopen the Bidding. Auctioneer’s determination of the Winning Bidder on any Lot will be final and conclusive.
11. Bidding by or on Behalf of Seller. Seller reserves the right to bid at the Auction, and 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. LAG may, on Seller’s behalf, execute bids up to the Reserve Price for any and all Lot(s) having a Reserve Price, and there is no requirement that any specific bid executed on Seller’s behalf or against the Reserve Price be identified as such or that such bids will be tendered under any single Bidder Number or Bidder Account.
12. Withdrawal by LAG. Unless a specific Lot is, in express written terms, exposed for sale at Absolute Auction, LAG has the right to withdraw any Lot from the Auction prior to the Fall of the Hammer on such Lot.
ONLINE BIDDING
13. 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:
13.1. 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. LAG 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)).
13.2. 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 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. LAG may have access to YOUR maximum bid, and may be aware of the amount of YOUR maximum bid.
13.3. Technology Disruptions. YOU acknowledge and agree that the Auction is conducted electronically and relies on hardware and software that may malfunction without warning. LAG 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. LAG 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.
13.4. Failures by Online Auction Platform Provider and Its Affiliates or Contractors. Under no circumstances will LAG 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 LAG, to YOU, to Seller, or otherwise.
13.5. 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. LAG MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES, AND DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES, (i) THAT THE ONLINE AUCTION PLATFORM(S) OR ANY RELATED WEBSITE OR TECHNOLOGY WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE OR VIRUS FREE, (ii) AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED BY USING THE ONLINE AUCTION PLATFORM OR ANY RELATED WEBSITE OR TECHNOLOGY, OR (iii) AS TO THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, SECURITY, OR CURRENT NATURE OF THE ONLINE AUCTION PLATFORM OR ANY RELATED WEBSITE TECHNOLOGY. 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. LAG 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.
13.6. 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. Access and use of any Online Auction Platform is subject to any and all terms and conditions of the Online Auction Platform Provider(s).
13.7. Security of Bidder Account. 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 LAG, in writing, immediately, and YOU will not be responsible for bids tendered through YOUR Bidder Account after such notice is received by LAG.
14. No Bid Retraction. YOU may not retract a bid that has been acknowledged by LAG or that has been submitted online. YOU acknowledge and agree that LAG 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 LAG 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.
15. 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 LAG 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 LAG immediately. YOU will be liable for all bids tendered using YOUR Bidder Number or Bidder Account prior to giving LAG notice that YOUR Bidder Number was lost, stolen, or misappropriated or that YOUR Bidder Account was hacked or compromised.
WINNING BIDDERS
16. Buyer's Premium. Each Lot is subject to a Buyer's Premium that will be calculated as 15% of the Hammer Price and paid by the Winning Bidder in addition to the Hammer Price. The Buyer’s Premium may 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 the Auctioneer’s discretion. The Buyer’s Premium is earned at the Fall of the Hammer and will not be refunded by LAG. 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, LAG 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 with respect to the Buyer’s Premium.
17. Winning Bid; Buyer. Pursuant to these Bidder Terms and Conditions, the Bidder making the Winning Bid for any Lot (as certified by LAG) will be the Buyer of such Lot.
18. Contract of Sale; Smart Contract. If YOU are the Winning Bidder on a Lot, a contract for the purchase and sale of the Lot, incorporating these Bidder Terms and Conditions and the form of Smart Contract, if provided, will be formed between YOU and the Seller with the Fall of the Hammer. LAG will not be a party to the purchase and sale agreement. YOU will be obligated to execute a Smart Contract as provided by LAG or a Third-Party Service Provider utilized by LAG. These Bidder Terms and Conditions and the materials contained in the Registration Packet, 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.

As a convenience and without any guarantee, you may use this website, https://www.taxjar.com/sales-tax-calculator, as a resource to calculate your applicable sales tax rate. Bidder agrees to pay LAG the actual amount of tax due if sales tax is not properly collected due to 1) an expired, inaccurate, or inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form and certificate must be on file at and verified by LAG five days prior to the auction, or the tax must be paid.
