No Warranty or Guarantee. Auction Network has no authority to, and does not provide any, guarantee, warranty, or covenant, of any kind or nature, regarding a property. Per the Williams & Williams Terms & Conditions of Sale and Terms of Sale, all properties auctioned are sold "AS-IS, WHEREIS" without any representation or warranty, express or implied, of any kind by Williams & Williams, Auction Network, or the seller and there are no financing, inspection or other contingencies to sale. Buyers must conduct their own due diligence and investigation of each property to determine the suitability of each property prior to submitting a bid. Buyers must rely solely upon their own investigation and not any information provided by the Seller or Williams & Williams. Failure of a Buyer to be fully informed on the condition of a property will not constitute grounds for a claim adjustment or cancellation of a sale. Neither Auction Network nor Williams & Williams assumes any risk, liability or responsibility for the authenticity of the authorship of any property or livestock offered at auction (that is, the identity of the creator or the period, culture, source or origin, or lineage, as the case may be, with which the creation of any property is identified).
Cancellation; Liquidated Damages. If the high bidder breaches any portion of these Terms & Conditions, the auction Terms of Sale, or the Contract for Sale and/or fails to return executed copies of all required documents or the required down payment, the bidder's high bid offer shall be rejected by the seller and all rights to purchase the property, if any, shall terminate with the seller having the right to offer for sale or sell the property to another without limitation, and the bidder’s credit card shall be charged liquidated damages in an amount equal to the bid deposit held on bidder's credit card at the time of registration (regardless of whether the bidder actually processed the bid deposit) or $2,500.00, whichever is greater. The bidder hereby authorizes Williams & Williams to charge the credit card used to register for the Event in the amount of the hold to satisfy all or part of the liquidated damages owed to Williams & Williams by bidder. BIDDER AGREES THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE OR IMPRACTICAL TO ACCURATELY ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OR EXTENT OF WILLIAMS & WILLIAMS' ACTUAL INJURY OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM A MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY THE BIDDER AND BASED ON THE UNCERTAINTY OF SUCH ESTIMATION, THE BIDDER AGREES THAT LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IDENTIFIED HEREIN ARE A PROPER REMEDY FOR BIDDER'S MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE BIDDER FURTHER AGREES THAT THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AMOUNT SET FORTH HEREIN CONSTITUTES A REASONABLE AND SATISFACTORY PRE-BREACH ESTIMATION OF EACH PARTY'S DAMAGES, AND SHALL NOT IN ANY WAY BE CONSIDERED A PENALTY OR FORFEITURE.
Auctioneer Powers. The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Any property may be withdrawn by Auction Network or Williams & Williams at any time before the actual sale without any liability therefore. If the auctioneer determines that any opening bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, he or she may reject the same and withdraw the article from sale, and if, having acknowledged an opening bid, he or she decides that any advance thereafter is insufficient, he or she may reject such advance.
Governing Law.
